SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.
The largest irrigation enter
prise in America is located in the
rich Snake River valley of Idaho,
which has been reclaimed
through man's handi-work alone.
In inis vaiiey which is now com
fortably settled, there remains
270,000 acres of land belonging
to the state of Idaho, which is
under the Twin Falls irrigation
canals and open to settlement.
This land is among the richest in
America, as experiments have
proved. Potatoes here yield 200
to 400 bushels to the acre of
large size and fine variety. Wheat
yields from 40 to 70 bushels to
the acre with an average weight
of 63 pounds per bushel. Three
crops of alfalfa are raised each
season in the Snake River valley.
The climate is superb and of
great value as a tonic for mind j
and body. Home-seekers’ low
rates to the Snake River valley
are in effect via Union Pacific,
the only direct route. Why not
visit this district in person and
fully realize its great possibili
ties? For full information ad

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artistij and musicians. , Pel
1 piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fra«
! of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no
j tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal.
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice,
i imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all d<
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a p
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest ou
factory. we an abte to aell the KimUo'1 •» a very wuxierate price, «uah>ywcuaeid
