A few days ago he was In Lewlston, Idaho, and was Impressed by the way hlngs are moving In that section, es pecially In orchard land. He states that one company has 4000 acres snb- Ivlded In five-acre fruit farms, set ul in ouog irees, ptovioeu Mint w ti er. These tracts are selling from 300 to 450 tier acre, and the water Is ised at a fixed charge of $! per tere per annum. This will be the 'Ixetl charge for all time to come. The" ompany brings In the water through pipe line 16 miles. In the same vl- Inlty this same company has an op- It decides to biy, will also be set out Into fruit. The night before he left tho citizens subscribed for J 75,000, of electric railway stock to promote a suburban line, which Is to lead out through this fruit land. Water Is the creative factor of all this activity. When Mr. Sebbelov saw what water tu Uoillg loi' iliv intuit Lltuiuiy, he immediately thought of . Grande Itonde valley and the possibilities of this section through the completion of tho proposed irrigation project and made up his mind to come back. Ho is confident that there will be a stir such as we never realized when actual work Is once commenced on the dam. HANDY HEAT WHEN NEEDED A hot water bottle is indispensable in every home.
