FALLS 15 LOUD IN ITS PISE FILLS HAS DOXE WONDERS FOR THAT COOTRT Tttfa Falls Paper Teem with FrI For Their Sjslc n There What Irrigation has done for Twin Falls this rear is not expressable in dollars and cents. The people there are so elcted over their Irriga tion system that the papers from the rapidly growing town, of .Trln Falls, sing of little else. Every page car ries some praise for Irrigation. . When other sections, among them Grande Roode, are suffering more or less from want of water, the Twin Falls country is blooming like a fertile gar den, and why? Because the district fs well Irrigated. It might be of Interest to Union county people to read ex erpu from a Twin Falls paper of re- Twin Fails Is the mecca to wb!-n investors of all classes, who hire traveled largely, are now turning with more assurance than ever that it Is the best place in the United Spates where capital may be placed with positive assurance that losses are im possible. This applies especially to the ii i ;?:t Uhi farm lands, whose prices arc lor compared to what they are worth a? producers merely of alfalfa, . . . Nex.l may be considered the wonderfully prolific Irrigated soil, which grows ev erything in vast profusion when al most every other part of the country falls through various causes, as has! been the rule this year. "Lucky from the very beginning of Its existence, the fickle goddess stands faithfully by this country, even during a year when the elements of nature are most unkindly dealing with every other section of the entire Uni ted States, and their people are cry ing in distress. "Alex McPberson returned Sunday from an exien?.d tour of the east and northwest and said tint he was glad to be again In this most glorious re gion. , "His travels extended all the way from Chicago to Seattle, and Inas- j much as he is much experienced in j the land business be observed closely j en route as a matter of habit He 1 said: "I am sorry that the crop situation is so bad in some parts of the country : as it Is. Farmers have been burned up in the central west, and they have . not raised anything. There is not, as ; a whole, 50 per cent of a wheat crop ! in the great Northwest j . "Only in the Palouse country can .the normal be credited; .and even , there parts of the area where the , growers usually have experienced t good luck, they have only 50 per cent of a yield this season. ! "A man may cast his eye over the .entire country, and the Twin Falls ' region is the only one which is com ing through with bounteous harvests this year. Other irrigated sections haven't had the required water. "Colorado's supply has been fear fully short, and all over the state the farmers have suffered seriously for lack of it. In the central west there has not been sufficient rainfall, and " ui.i 1m witiieititi everytntng. "These conditions have been exper ienced throughout the Identical sec tions where there has been for many months a concerted effort on the part of the bankers to discourage the movement of the farmers and their money into the newly Irrigated sec tions, especially of Idaho. v "It has been considerably through the Influence of these and the greater banking elements that irrigation en terprises have been hampered lately in various parts of the intermountain section, and many of them temporar ily but definitely delayed. "Now the same farmers of the cen tral west who haven't raised anything this year are saying to these same bankers that, regardless of what the banker's advice has been, they are de termined to remove to countries where they can be assured of raising crops every year. . "This Is going to redound greatly to the benefit of the Twin Falls region, which has proven beyond a doubt this year that when all others fall it is a winner. "The crops we now have prove he representations which have been made from the beginning, that Twin Falls has the best irrigation supply in all the United States, as well as the best land, v, "As an advertisement our experi ence this year is worth many thous ands of dollars to us, and it goes without saying that we may expect a very large demand for Twin Falls land henceforth." "Things look better here than any where I have been. There are oppor tunities Tiere that exist nowhere else, and with the development that is In progress H cannot fail to coiflnue to be the most opportune locality for the man who has' a little money with which to operate.
