OVER FROM MARSH
 
John H. Ireton, the Payette Ranchman, in the City
 
John H. Ireton is over from Marsh.  He states that the Payette river is just a 
little higher than at any previous time this season, but he does not think 
that a dangerous stage of water will be reached.  The river has been running 
bank full for a month and the supply of water in the mountains seems to have 
been well drawn off.
 
Mr. Ireton states the prospects for fruit in that section are very good.  All 
the trees, including peaches, are heavily in bloom.  He referred to the fact 
that he had noticed where some trees had been dug up in this vicinity, having 
supposedly been killed by the Thanksgiving freeze.  In this connection he 
narrated that some years ago severe cold seemed to have killed nearly all 
their fruit trees on the great ranch at Marsh.  They proceeded to root up one 
orchard entirely.  There were some peach trees near the house, however, which 
though they appeared to be dead, were left standing.  These trees are still 
bearing heavily every year.
