f. w. Haylicek was a business visi-
tor to Twin Falls Wednesday and
Thursday of last week
Mrs. Haaff visited friends in Twin
Falls a few days last week.
David Abramson has leased his
farm and will move into Twin Falls as
soon as he is able to secure a house
which seems almost impossible in that
growing and progressive city of Twin
Falls the metropolis of southern Ida
no. One by one the settlers are leav-
ing the Salmon, renting their places
or letting their lands be idle until con-
ditions on this tract are reversed.

tons of land in Twin Falls county.

tory outcome of our troubles witlfzthe
land and water company. So have we,

with friends in the Magic City Sunday.
John Burton, who formally resided
on the Salmon river tract, has return
ed with his family to Twin Falls coun-

We understand that L. o. Evans,
like many other settlers on the Sal
mon, has decided to farm no longer
here until our troubles have been adj
justed in a satisfactory way by an
ample supply of water, so that the
tiller of the soil will reap a just re-
ward for his labor instead of being a
loser as is the case now. The Gates
brothers have leased Mr.. Evans farm
for the coming season besides farm
ing their own land. In order to keep
above the surface, so to speak, it
seems necessary to farm three or four
hundred acres of land or more under
the existing conditions on the Sal
mon tract.
