embraces the improvem ents. Mr. Rose
decided that the high price Of lads in
Idaho we're too much for him and he
decided to return and settle here.
There are several other deals in !
that comprises some Of the I
1est farms in the county, all within a ?
,ew miles of Crossville. Three of the
ieals will mean a sale anountig to
80. 900 or Il. ore, each and while those !
Interested are not giving any thing out :,
or publication, the prospects for clos
ng the trades seem very favorable. In
very instance, if the Geals are made,
he men who sell will buy and de- :,
elope other property.
Persons coming here and seeing the
rops growing are greatly surprised !,
hat such land can be bought for $40 an d.
ere and up. for no better land is SELL b
lg in many places for $50 an acre and
p. Every indication now points to ol
irge influx of homesseekers in the o'
ear future because of the cheap lands 81
ere and the very rapid rise of lands IN
ther sections. pj
