Termed 1.-THE
Best Little Town in State
Creamery, Cheese Factory
and ALI Businesses Thrive.

Meridian is very appropriately term
ed, 1.-THE best little Town In the State"
This enviable reputation is to be cred
tied to the fact that 1t has one Of the
best dairying sections in the entire
United States to draw upon for it's
trade.
Its cheese factory, that of the Boise
Cooperative Creamery company, sup
plies the farmers of the surrounding
communities with ready money through
paying to them $4,000 monthly or
100000 annually for milk with which
to manufacture the cheese which 1t is
now shipping to all parts Of the United
States. The factory's output from Jan.
]. Of the past year to Dec. 1, amounts
ed to 1,450,000 pounds or SO carloads.
Still further indexing the prosperity
of the town it Is to be noted that dur
ing this period Of time there were ship
ped from 1t to the markets 62S carloads
of livestock, grain, cheese, hay, fruit.
clover seed and other farm products
with total valuation approximatihg
$1,500,000. There is no discounting the
prosperity of the town and its sur
rounding country. Deposits in the
two banks of the town to the amount
of $690,000, largely those Of farmers,
evidence it to even the most skepticai.
In the First National bank Of which
j. A. Fenton is president, there are de-
postts amounting to $453.000.
BIG SHIPMENTS MADE
Bumper crops and an unlimited
amount of livestock. with the dairy
products of the country have caused

GREAT DAIRY SECTION.
As dairying section. 1t leads all
other sections In the state and by dali
rying men thoroughly conversant with
the most highly developed dairying
sections of the eastern, middlewestern
and central states, 1t is claimed that
what is commonly called "The Meridian
country" L. the best dairying section in
the entire United States. This fact II
to be attributed to the advantages of
an unexcelled climate and pastures
which are kept green throughout the
entire season through an abundance of
irrigation water. More than 800, 900
was expended in building by the town
last year and Improvement in the way
Of paving was made at cost Of
$4,000.

The correlation of sheep raising with
farming and dairying Is also extern
sively practiced by the vast majority
OF the farmers OF this section. Only

this state, but to q great extent for
the neighboring states Of Oregon and
Utah. Men engaged in the sheep BUSH
ness, who find 1t extremely difficult
to raise their rams op the range, have
been coming here for the past several
years to purchase sheep. and as a con-
sequence the Meridian country has
come to be very widely advertised as
the home of purebred sheep. Numerous
farmers throughout the Meridian coun-
try have as many as 100 sheep on their
farms.

Star, Jan. 3.--What the dairying in

There Is plethora of money among

sheep reflect their prosperity. How
ever, 1t is further reflected by the big
deposits in the bank of the town, a to-

tory is expanding for milk with which
to manufacture cheese, approximately
$4,000 month or $500 q day. Bumper
wheat and alfalfa crops never fail and
the correlation of livestock raising and
dairying with their farming have made
the farmers of the different commune
ties surrounding the town immensely
wealthy. The bank of Star, which is
under the management of j. E. Roberts
has worked in unison with the farmers
in developing the country and raising
