Sanderson disposing of 70 acres of the famous Idanha orchard, .two and a half miles from town, to Miles Cannon of Weiser.

This deal will be a big gaiu tor Nyssa, as Mr. Sauderson re mains here, where lie retsius heavy interests, including the remainder of the Idanha or chard aud the highly improved van Gile farm, which he re cently purchased for $28,000 Mr. Cannon is spoken of, by those who have known him for years, as a most progressive cit izen aud a hustler who knows how to do business and loses no time in doing it. While he will not make his home here at present, the community is for tunate in having him identified with it in a business way. He has leased the Reece and the La Freuz warehouses iu Nyssa and will pack the output of the big orchard here, sod expects to employ at least 75 packers two months each year caring for the 100 cars of prunes which the big orchard will produce this seaaou. Nyssa will be a big gainer by this arrangement, as it will mean a big pay roll for two months of the year and all lines of business will be bene fited. Before investing his money here, Mr. Cannon investigated the prune crop of the entire Northwest and found the Snake valley in Or9gon to he the only section that will have a full crop this year. Iu some of the ban ner prune growing belts, in cluding the Walla Walla valley, the yield will be not over HU per cent of the usual crop. As we have said before, Nyssa has got ’em all beat.
