Mrs. J. J. Eller writes that the Ellers and Crawfords and a few others of their old neighborhood of Niwot, Colo., are traveling in wagons to the Yakima valley, Wash., and are having a great time.

No one complains of storms or drouth or buffalo gnats. If it rains, he says it is O. K., and if it don't rain, we have plenty of water at $10 a year for 5 acres.

While land seems high at $400, $800 and $1,000 per acre, when you have a bearing orchard of 5 or 10 acres, you have lots of work and a nice income.
