LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

S. H. Norman Writes Interestingly From Montana. Under date of Sept. 29, in renewing his subscription, S. H. Norman, formerly of Jasper county, writes -from Boulder, Colo., and says: As I have just returned from a trip through Idaho and Washington I will write you a little sketch of my trip. We first visited Leonia, one of the largest placer mines in the west. Stayed two weeks with our eldest daughter, whose husband is a foreman there. I got to see about all of it. Then I went to LaClede, Idaho, to see our eldest boy, who is a steam-fitter in one of the largest sawmills in the northwest. Stayed one week with him and then went to Spokane, Wash., and rented a house for my wife and three daughters, who will go to school there. I then went via auto 112 miles through the wheat belt. And wheat it surely was. I never saw the like. Wheat as far as one could see in every direction. Landing at Bovill, Idaho, at Alfred See’s place, a nice little farm. Then I visited Herbert See, who conducts a real, lively, up-to-date general store. They are all well and doing well. Hoping to visit the Hoosier state before long, I remain, as ever, S. H. NORMAN.
