We H tare still on the turf realizing a few H ' luxuries and commodities which cm H anate from thrift and perseverance In H an arid region. A few pleasant homes H ( are being built and In the not far dls- H ' tant future our little valley will be In- H terspcrscd with many beautiful mod- H ern dwellings Irrespective of our Isola H tlon. The sagebrush flats are gradual H " ly being converted Into thriving farms H f; which many who have Ignored dry H r farm life might covet. N H , noys what aro you doing? Wasting H i your precious moments breathing tho H . -vitiated atmospheie of the nameless H j- -dens of prcnlolous vice, thereby weak- H onln your Intellect and enfeebling b you r body, or are you laboriously strlv F ln to utilize your time and talents in H- dlsstmlnating seeds of charity, char- iaoter, and verity? If your environments environ-ments make It so easy to do wrong and difficult to do right sever your connec H tlon with the gayety and pomp of city H life and habltuato yourselves to the H surroundings found only In a newly H settled place. H If our forefathers had possessed the H , ambition and Integrity so prevalent H among the young men of today this H western plain would not have afforded H so many beautiful places of abode. H Young men wake up! All these waste H 1 places must be redeemed and made to H j bloom as the rose. Don't hang around H i looking for snaps. Qet out where you H have to depend upon your muscle and H brawn for livelihood. There Is plen H ty of vacant land In this and all of the Hj -adjoining valleys, so why not make use H of that right given all citizens of the fH United States and prepare for a rainy day while you are young and vigorous? The writer Is cognizant of many instances in-stances where young men who have mi-- - aided In surmounting, the obstacles Hj characteristic of a sagebrush country H , have outstripped their city comrades H in morality, Intellectual advancement H and earthly possessions; so think not H that by living remote from what some H people call "civilization" you at all H retrograde In any of the (lucr quail- H ties of man. We dont want the H "Man who would, H Md a woman If he could, H (But as ho can't, does all he can H To show the world he's not a man;" H i nor do we want superfluous young men H who are destitute of lofty Ideals; but H, we do extend a welcome to nil whose H aspiratlous are to build up a manly H character and "to leari to keep burn- H ing In their bosom that little spark of H celestial lire called conscience " H Yes, Cache Is Well represented In B1 Curlew and Pocatello allcys, and all H are doing well. The Sweeten aua Hoi m brook-Uaker steam plow companies H are convincing a few skeptics that arid H farming Is by far the most protltable. Hfj Their machines are a success and It Hj does one good to see how quickly the sagebrush disappears. Come out next Hi summer if you arc at all dubious as to K tlio foregoing. Bg Our merchant, a used-to-bc Smith- H Held boy, Is doing well and deserves HE much praise for his sia lot; power Hi, The Willie bojs, of Memlon, are B i surely coming to the from imkI are set- H , ting good examples of thrift and ccon- g omy. f "Mourn not for the vanished ages, t With the great, heroic men, K Who dwell In history's pages, Kl And live In the poet's pen. Hf. For the grandest times aie heioru us, HjfJ Ami the world Is yet to see H The nublest worth of this old wotld, 1 C ' In tho men thill lire to be." |
