TO repeat them to give whatever
emphasis possible.
In other words Mr.. Miller is right

day. The same paper goes OF to
give quotations from a number of
persons visiting in the Valley. and

We think ii fitting and fair TO say
that Mrs. Andersen is a compare
lively new convert TO the Valley
and comes under the head Of the
kind of people needed in the Valley.
OF course We might not be so
strong about her husband, who
prints the paper she was writing for,

AND ALONG the line of speaking

over the Valley.
Mr.. Bonfils said he never saw a
richer land in his life and added
that the people OF Colorado and

He was almost astounded at the air

Brownsville. and is leaning toward
extending his stay for q flight TO
Mexico City.
Mr.. Bonfils Is publisher Of a news
paper, which blankets the western
country. When he goes back home
he would please Valley people pow

about what he saw down here. Com
