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 uiis valley which is now coin
I fortably settled, there remains
270,000 acres of land belonging
j 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
i 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
j of 63 pounds per bushel. Three
crops of alfalfa are raised each
season in the Snake River valley.
The climate is superb and of
l great value as a tonic for mind
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 founds"
tion of its great musical -worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An I
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costa more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no lees than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest outpBt
tmm any laeteey. we an able to sell the Kimball at a vary nuoerate price, aaalHy.eoaeuiered
The Kimball Bystem and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
