MANY new SETTLERS
COMING
Farmers from Buhl Investing
Heavily in Emmett Farm
Lands

The rush of farmers from the Twin
Falls tract, especially from Buhl, re-
minds the old timer of the time when
the Palisaders of Colorado took the
country. OF course, there is lacking
the excitement and the boom and the
abnormal price of land, as we'll as the
speculation, which is gratifying. Many
farms and tracts of land on the bench
have been purchased by these people.
A large delegation came in Saturday
and are making investments and more
are coming. They are enthusiastic
over the country. The beauty of the
whole thing, is the new comers are
practical farmers who have made
success in the Twin Falls country.
They have come to make their homes
here, attracted by the superior eli
matte conditions, as well as the at
traetiye surroundings for the home
maker.
NJ. c. Fuller, a brother in law of
Mr.. Nefzger who recently moved here
from Twin Falls, has purchased the
Phelan property in the northeast part
of Emmett and has moved in.
W. S. Sinclair was up from Falk to-
day looking about with view to To-
eating nearer Emmett.
A. j. Malmstrom is building new
house on his ranch south of town and
will move there next week.
William Burgess who recently came
here with his family from Sheridan,
Wyo. went to Meridian to visit his un-
Gle. John Blake, for few days Mr..
Burgess has purchased the ranch pro-
perty of Mrs. Hannah Gerhart and
expects to occupy it very soon- Mr..
Porter, and family who have been liv-
ing there are moving into the Lytle
place

NEWS OF OUR SOLDIER
BOYS
Interesting Letters from Our
Boys at Home Camps
and Abroad.
From "The Bow"

February Copy of The Index al
hand tells of the marriage of J.P. Reec
and Miss Breshears, and we have reaC
of it with interest. Give our best re-
CARDS to both of them.
Last night the non-coms had an
other dance at the hospital and we had
a great time. For music we had en-.
gagged the Marine Jazz band, that is
touring the country, playing for the
soldiers. They were to come here
from Tours, distance of SO kilome-
ters, and they left Tours at 8 O'Clock
the morning of the dance, but didn't
arrive until IL that night. So | am
beginning to think that the French
railroads are as bad as the Punkin
Vine used to be, if that could be pos
sible. Until the bands arrival music
was furnished by home talent, violin,
a banjo and the piano, SO the dance
was not delayed any on that account.
But they certainly put life into the
dance when they did get here and
made it a huge success. The train
that they came in on also brought Is
new nurses for duty in the hospital
here and they all came to the dance,
so they, with the old nurses, the Red
Cross workers and the Y. women,
made it a er-to-be-forgotten occa-
sion for US boys. Our commanding
officer was also present, and he was
so we'll pleased with the dance that the
next morning he called the boys who
were at the head of the affair into
his office and asked them when they
were going to have another. They
said they didn't know, but hoped they
would be allowed to have one again.
He then said: ''Well, how will Wash
ington's birthday do?" 1t did ali
right, so we have engaged the Marine
band again for that occasion and are
already planning to make the next
one far bigger success than the big
success we had with the last one.
l am still busy shipping out the
classified men. Tomorrow morning |
start 81 on their way home. This
morning it was 26, and hardly day
passes but ship out about 20. But
they keep coming in as fast as they go
out, so the hospital is full all the
time.
Col Clark was up the other day
and told US that we ought to be home
by the first of June, if the plans that
they had went through all right, but
I'll never believe that l am coming
home again until am safely on the
other side of the Statue of Liberty.
We heard that the 41st Division had
been held up at Brest and that the
whole division was being split up and
they were making them into casual
and would send them home
that way, but l don't know whether it
is true or not.
