o. F. Smith, the man who de-

Monday morning, March 8. For the

eventful times when her industries
were paralyzed and times were hard.
He had met with reverses in
Nebraska's hot winds and he made
a modest beginning here, planting
fruit trees on rented land, and
growing potatoes between the
trees to pay expenses. 1t was in those
good old days when potatoes sold as
low as IS cents per hundred, sacked,
on board carso and seldom or never
rose to as much as a dollar, yet Mr..
Smith bucked the game cheerfully
and built up one of the famous nurs-
cries of this end of the state.
Mr.. Smith leaves a wife and son
and three daughters. ...

SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS

This paper is publishing some
articles on the subject of irrigation
in the upper Snake river valley, as
1t is proposed to conduct it by devel-
oping the great natural reservoir
sites to store the waters that are
now running to waste. 1t is proposed
to secure number of great govern
ment loans to finance the project of
putting the wasting floods on the
rich arid lands and bring the landless
man to the mariless land.
Twenty-one newspapers in the up-
per Snake river valley are co-operat-
ing in a campaign of education to
show congress and the public the
possibilities thru development of the
Snake river plains and If each
reader of all these newspapers will
renal their papers to their friends
after reading and otherwise try as
hard as the editors do to spread the
light and the truth and to untold
the mysteries of the great natural
resources and how to combine them,
1t will do more good than all the
other publicity the valley has ever
had. 81.
