The Camas Prairie.

j. II. Forney, the district attorney OF
Idaho county; Benjamin +. Morris,
former United States district court cer k
for the northern district of Idaho, and
now large and successful farmer and
stock raiser of Camas prairie: Aaron Il.
Parker, the editor and publisher of the
Grangeville FREE Pass, and Mr.. WIN.
Hawley, proprietor of the Grangeyile
hotel, are in the city. These gentlemen,
all residents of Idaho county and of that
part of 1T known as Camas prairie, arc
very DESTROYS of seeing inaugurated
some movement which will bring their
people more frequently in contact with
Spokane Falls. They claim that the
prairie is the most beautiful on earth
and is productive to a degree not ex-
celled by any other section of the Pa
ciic Northwest. q There are on the
prairie and tributary thereto upwards of
seven thousand inhabitants. 1t is not
only great as an agricultural country,
but it is unsurpassed for stock raising.
From Spokane Falls to Mt. Idaho, which
i the farthest point on the prairie, the
distance by rail is about eight hours.
The road to Genesee is on the direct
line to Mt. Idaho. When it reaches
that piece, as it inevitably must, the
trade of the prairie falls naturally TO
this city. These Idaho county people
are worth cultivating. The day will
come when their population and wealth
