Gem county may properly be divi-
ded into two principal parts. One
comprises the upper part of the Pay
cite valley and is important as re-
markable fruit country and embraces
most of the southern end of the coun-
ty. The character of this section is
open valley and foothill slope land. 1t
is watered by the majestic Payette
river. The other part, the northern
end of the county takes in long,
narrow strip Of country quite rugged
and mountainous in character, yet
agriculturally rich by reason Of nu-
merous small valleys, well watered
creek bottom lands and tillable slopes
and hillsides. This part of the coun-
ty is an immensely important sec
ton, embracing numerous we'll settled
districts, hamlets and towns. 1t is inn
portant, too, because of the wealth
produced in grain, hay and stock. AL
so in this end of the county is found !
its principal timber resources back in
the higher mountainous region.
Down the major portion of this long
neck of country courses Squaw creek,
watering a wide stretch of territory.

reaches Ola, the trading point for
these ranchers.
From Ola back to Sweet the road
follows the creek closely all the way.
The valley becomes quite narrow
along this part, in places almost
canyon, but all along there are good
farms, lots of stock, and wheat and
oats are raised in abundance on the
higher ground The creek bottom
makes excellent alfalfa and wild hay
land, and most of the cattle in the
county are found in this section.
Many vegetables and considerable
fruit are raised by the ranchers. But
after making the trip one cannot help
realizing that fruit is by no means the
only important product harvested by
the people of Gem County, nor is that
section embracing the Payette Valley
the only prolific region from which
wealth is obtained. 1t has to be adj
mitted the long neck of the county

by wonderful scenes,
healthful in the thin, pure air of this
higher altitude, the Squaw Greek set
tiers envy no man, for on these slop-
ing hillsides wheat grows in abund-
ance, yielding plentifully without the
tedium of irrigation.

rous climb to the summit of Bownlee
hill. The country along the way is
broken and hilly, yet for miles and
miles every foot of ground is culti-
waited, and every turn in the road
hides a rancher's home. Wheat and
oats in vast fields are planted on the
hillsides and over the hilltops, there is
also great deal of hay in evidence
and some corn, although the corn
grows scarcer as the higher attitudes
are reached. This is the Bownlee
country, outside of Gem county, but
tributary to it in trade. The crops
are all grown without irrigation, as
sufficient natural moisture falls in
this region to permit grain cultiva-
ton. Back from the road and deeper
into the mountains great many cat
tie are ranging. The surroundings
are delightful, being almost Alpine
with the piled up mountains fearing
high on every side.
After fifteen or twenty miles of
this we'll cultivated country has been
traversed the timbered ground is
reached. First a scattering growth
that soon thickens into groves of pine
and fir, until at last the road winds
down the hill into dense forest of
huge trees, the thick foliage almost
shutting out the light. Here the farms
and homes are less frequent and the
only noticeable in occasion
al clearings. Cattle are often met,
however, indicating the forest reserve

Squaw Creek.
Turning to the left the return trip
is begun. One does not realize the
true significance of the name High
Valley until the summit has been
topped on the back trail and the
grand panorama of the northern and
main portion of Squaw valley is be-
held far below.
The thick woods end at the sum-
NIT and the huge country ahead and
below is all open. Far across on the
other side are mountains seemingly
greater than the ones over which the
trail leads, yet when the descent has
been made it is discovered to be
long way, and the mountains being
left behind keep poking up higher and
higher until they form wall as i'm
posing as those across the valley.
From up above it is noted the low
er regions are quite thickly settled
and the land well cultivated. Also it
is noted the homes are large and
On the downward trip,
habitations come into view along the
roadside, while still well up the slope.
Big barns are in evidence and every
indication points to prosperous,

and far below flows the clear stream,
while in the distance is nestled the
town with good stretches of verdant
country around it.
Montour become a town only few
years back, when the Idaho Northern
railroad, following the Payette river
grade, carved its way through the
mountains, with it's extension to the
lakes some 80 miles above. A station
was located at this attractive spot on
the river bank, as the point nearest to
Sweet, the old established town and
trading point for the lower Squaw
Creek and Brownlee country. After
three years Mountour has become
thriving town and is continuing to
grow steadily. The country around
it is becoming settled and put into
cultivation. 1t is situated in cup of
valley, well protected. The soil is
sandy. 1t is good fruit land and since
the town has been built up, consid-
cradle acreage has been planted in
the vicinity. Back in the hills the
conditions permit good dry land farm
ing, and good many homesteaders
have settled up most of the available
country. The town is well provided
with good business blocks, some fine
residences and a good school. The
streets are laid out symetrically and
planted with shade trees. Naturally
t still has new appearance, but that
s no drawback, as it also impresses
me as being lusty and active.
Four miles further on along the
main highway, but little distance ;
Jack from the railroad, is Sweet, the
riginal town of the section. Imme- /
