Item Diary of Armeda Jane Parker (part 2).(UNKNOWN, 1918) Parker, Armeda Jane; Parker, Alice Armeda Parker"16 - Waiting over for those folks who have the sick boy. Nearly all of the wagons went on early this morning, eager to reach Kelton to cross with a train there which is waiting for more wagons. We may be left to go alone on account of it. There is considerable excitement over the Indian trouble; hope we will get through to Kelton to go with the train and get through safely."Item Diary of Armeda Jane Parker (part 3).(UNKNOWN, 1918) Parker, Alice Armeda Parker; Parker, Armeda Jane"26 - On our road at 6 this morning. Very warm too. Some mules are behind and the man has not caught us yet. Nine wagons are waiting; that cuts our train down. Noon. The teams came up with others, making forty wagons. No Indians as yet in the Valley. Some sage but considerable grass. Stock fed well on it. Butter 30 (cents), milk 5 (cents) per quart. Weat $1.20 per hundred, potatoes 2 (cents) per lb., hay $1.00 per cwt. This is the best looking valley we have seen in Idaho. Looking across the Payette Creek.
