Grading for Better Results

one mile east of Riverside. The
place contains twenty-one acres and
Mr.. Altman has been doing lot of
grading this spring. He expresses
the determination to put the farm in
good shape for irrigation.
Abe Scott has twenty-five acres
just north of the Altman place,
where Alma Clough lived for several
years.
Land Better for Rest
H. G. Correll lives west of the
Altman place. He spent the winter
in Pocatello working in the railroad
shops, but had sickness in the
family all winter and merely had a
winters expense and no income. Mr..
Correll bought his place little over
year ago. There are twenty-six
acres in the place and he paid $2700
for it. Last fall after harvest he re-
fused $4,000 for it. The land had
been idle for long time and he
thinks it is better for the rest. He
is grading and putting it in fine
shape.
Rented Farm to Son
C. S. Dalton, one of the old resi-
dents of Riverside rented his farm
to his son D. M. Dalton for this year,

turned and are looking around for
a location. They may return to the
old home at Riverside.
Good Price Offered for Land
w. T. Peterson of Riverside is re-
ported to have refused $3.50 per
acre for his farm recently. o. w.
and J. N. Peterson had an offer of
$4,000 for their sixty-fve acre
tract, including some implements.
They considered the offer about 5000
an acre for the land and the rest for
improvements. At first thought the
offer of $4,000 looked good to them,
but after considering it carefully
they decided it was worth more than
that to them. o. w. and family are
going to Sewer county, Utah for a
short visit. Mr.. Peterson will re-
turn to look after the irrigating and
the family will remain for visit.
Ezra Wilson has rented his River
side property to E. Carter and is
buying a home in Pocatello. Mr..
Wilson says he rented a house in
Pocatello and then concluded to buy
it because property is selling SO
rapidly man scarcely gets moved
into place until he has to move out,
to give possession to some purchaser.
Mr. Carter, the tenant on the Will
son farm, came from Beaver county,
Utah.
John Jensen of Moreland has
rented the l.. F. Campbell place at
Riverside and is also farming part
