ROCKFORD A LIVELY
AND WEALTHY COMMUNITY
Dry and Irrigated Farmers IN Com
Portable and Prosperous
Spirit of Cooperation

Rockford is the o. S. L. station for
the country between Moreland and
Pingree. 1t is in the western part
of the Thomas settlement and has a
beet dump, a store conducted by Vir-
gil and w. w. Stephens, and another
recently opened by ]. A. Peterson,
this being a branch of the H. P.
Peterson store at Riverside. The
new store is 28x60 feet in size, with
basement, and a 2Sx42 residence and
private garage. Mr.. Peterson handles
general merchandise, coal, gasoline
and Oil. He has the agency for the
Elkhorn creamery and attends to its
shipments. The two Peterson stores
have the service of a large motor
truck, and freight shipments are
promptly handled for both stores
every day.
Land Going Up
Rockford is surrounded by irrigat-
ed farms that are considered worth
from about SIS to $125 an acre, but
will double in value in the next ten
years If not sooner.
Train Service
Rockford has a daily train service
both ways and is bordered on the
west by a belt of dry farms reaching
10 or IL miles into the plains. Even
in this dry year with the soil loose
and dry they are nearly all making
expenses or better on their wheat.
Pump Irrigation
Some of the farmers at the edge

stall pumping outfits to lift water
from the canals for irrigation; the

that is likely to be delivered to them
for lighting and power in 1917. Tele-
phones serve many of the farms, and
so independent are some of the pat
rons that they pay their phone bills
a year in advance so they a have
it off their minds for the season and
have more time to study better farm
methods Close observers know that
the same ones pay their newspaper
bills in advance, for they notice the
date on the labels and it shows fu-
ture rather than past dates. Many
of them have luxurious automobiles
and drive to the county seat Satur-

women folks dress comfortably and
sit on the porch or swing in the
hammock. Everybody works but
father and he Is an industrious man.
Visitors from the county seat drive
out on Sundays and evenings to make
the ascent of one bench or plateau
above another to the dry farms, and
looking back, feast their eyes on the
rich irrigated farms and groves OF
the Snake river bottoms that surpass
the wealth of the Nile, only the In
habitants don't realize 1t.
Mills and Warehouses
Rockford is the beginning OF a
busy town Of elevators, Touring mills
warehouses and sorting stations for
potatoes, loading place for stock and
a center for a good school. 1t has
considerable of religious effort, gives
considerable, attention to lettering
it's entertainments and when 1t Is a
little larger it will be getting itself
the c%hautauqua circuit. Rock
ford is not noisy with enthusiasm
but will soon be able to supply
enough beets to operate a sugar FAC
tory. For the present it is gather
ing wealth and energy for the great
development of the near future.

Mans Truest Friend

Those of us who knew John F. STAN

sad fate and the pitiful copdition of his
brave wife. who went to his assistance
even though she must have felt that
1t meant certain death. 1t is a tragic
ending to the devoted service of this
couple in the interests of Names fish

in the forest PEOPLE of wild instincts
was woefully betrayed, and the hand
some buck they had admired so much
would have had terrible vengeance up
on his human friends but for the fidel-
ity of another animal-the dog friend
of the aged couple.
The collie fearlessly attacked the en-
ragged buck and finally drove it away
from his mistress while she yet had
strength to crawl to the house and tel
ephone for assistance.
1t is only one more of the incidents
We hear or read and forget-the faith

dog turns from his kind and from all
else to his master He unhesitatingly
offers his life and no torture can turn
him from his faithfulncss so long as
the spark OF life lasts. And yet there
