Reached the Promised Land at Last.

Chas. W. Minard and family and William Burnell and family arrived last week 
from Northern Nebraska.  These people started from Nebraska the 23rd day of May 
and landed in Payette valley the 13th day of August.  They left Nebraska with a 
train that numbered 17 wagons, 50 head of horses and 50 people. After reaching 
Idaho the party divided up, only two of the families reaching this part of the 
state, which was originally the destination of most of the party.  The home-
seekers experienced a good deal of sickness and many discouragements on the 
trip and at times there were scarcely enough well men in the party to drive the 
teams.  Mr. Minard says the Payette Valley is fully up to his expectations and 
thinks those of his party who stopped short of it made a mistake.
