Tho company wont In Dr. Smith's Velio car and asldo from encountering a number of mud holes, bogs, and marshes, tho trip was n decided success. Tho auto performed perform-ed its work perfectly to tho delight and satisfaction of tho party. Mr. Hatch when scon by a representative represen-tative of this paper, said:-"This was tho first trip over tho roads with an auto this year. Wo had no txoublo at all with tho machine, and asldo from being hung up a few times on account of tho condition of tho roads tho entire en-tire trip was one grand sweet song." "Tho country Is great and presents ranny opportunities for tho homcBeek-or, homcBeek-or, and especially tho young man. In theso days of competition it Is too often of-ten tho cobo that tho promoter goes to extremes In the puffing up of his project, pro-ject, but in this beautiful county whero tho homeseeker can see tho result of the toll of the husbandman on every hand, with plenty of virgin soil butting up against tho cultivated M fltlds, ho can not help but bo satisfied that all It requires Is determination-and determination-and honest toll to supplant tho great areas of native sage with fields of golden grain." "Wo went through tho productive Bluo 'Creek country and wcro surprised sur-prised at tho ovldonces of civilization on ovory hand, thence on through Snowvllle, Showell, through tho promising prom-ising Curlow Valley to tho Black Pino mountains, Tho season is about two weeks nhead of us In Cache Valley, and ovorywhero tho farmer Is up to his neck in work." "Tho Reclamation project of tho Utah-Idaho Land and Water Company is tho most attractlvo jiroposltlpn It has been my pleasure io inspect. A reservoir full of water, with plenty or first class land waiting tho work of tho farmer presents a proposition most inviting. Tho promoters of this pro-pofcltlon pro-pofcltlon havo not exaggerated tho conditions con-ditions in tho least. In fact if anything, tho possibilities havo not been fully told. Tho project Is a sure winner, and will bo tho seat of a striving community com-munity In tho near future." "Tho roads wero flno aftor wo got oit of Cache VVnlloy, In fact tho machine ma-chine could speed up to thirty miles an hour with ease. But from tho dlvldo this way they wero In a frightful condition. con-dition. Partially dry mado them worso than If thoy had been slushy. It Is tho opinion of tho company that If thoy had dropped Into Cacho Valloy blindfolded thoy would havo had no trouble In tolling when they encountered encoun-tered Cacho Valloy roads. Tho com-pany com-pany aro of tho opinion that tho poo-plo poo-plo of Cncho Valley should not fall to vote tho bonds, In order that tho roads may bo put In better condition. Thero Is nothing that will mnko our county moro attractlvo nnd Inviting to tho homoscokcr than Immcdlato Improvements Improve-ments on our roads."
