Building OF Permanent Homes Al
ready in Progress for CoIonists.
As further evidence that Idaho
waits with welcoming arms out
stretched construction company al
ready is at work erecting perman-
ent bungalow homes for many of the
Brooklyn party to be available direct
lv on their arrival Also there is be-
ing built a huge warehouse in which
may be stored such household effects
pending their occupancy of their new
domiciles as the Argonauts may elect
to forward to Idaho instead of con-
signing to the auction man before
they shake the dust of Brooklyn from
their feet Mr.. Scott is encouraging

his son. Orvis Is years old. and his
daughter. Muriel, 10 years old. His

million speckled brook trout flash

treams! And sturgeonl Yes, in the
snake river great big silvery stur-
