There is surely no locality that has a brighter future before it than this vicinity when one stops to figure that in this immediate vicinity there are about 12,000 acres of land with water flowing by the side j of and through It. all easily irrigated and capable of sustaining 1000 fam ilies, that is owned by about 20 in dividuals. It is already demonstrat ed that this land is capable of pro ducing 10 tons of alfalfa per acre per annum. Besides peaches, pears, apri cots, prunes, and in fact, anything that will grow in a semi-tropical cli mate, will grow as fine here as any jJace on earth. This land, when prop erly irrigated is equal to the Yakima or Vineland country. W. Vf. Hoagland of Spokane, spent Sunday here. He took a drive over the Butter Creek and Umatilla mead ows and pronounced It one of the finest countries he has seen anywhere. He said he thought he would return here in a short time for the purpose of investing in rea". estate. Frank Van Cleave was In yesterday from the round-up in the vicinity of Tub Springs.
