be raised here with greater ease and
more certainty Of success than else

ty is in the great bunch grass" region

of this great region, and it has been
clearly demonstrated that our soil is
better adapted to keeping grasses green
for longer period than any other part
of the bunch-grass area. Our winter
temperature is mild, and our altitude is
sufficiently high to ensure us only mod
crate summer heat, thus giving us
combination Of soil and temperate eli
mate-free from the extremes of heat
and cold, with no sudden changes of
temperature-admira adapted to
stock raising. Another point in our fa-
vor as a stock country is the fact that
the county that are used for no other
purpose than grazing. We offer perpet-
ual free pasturage to stock-growers.
These idle lands are not barren. but are
covered with all abundance of luxuriant
grass, with plenty of water everywhere.
All these things combine to make Ida

RAPID GROWTH ASSURED.

The vote for the coming election
October, 1890,-is estimated at 800. But
though growing to Importance slowly,
owing chiefly to her great distance from
difficulty of access, the fear of Indians.
and the little that is known of her re-
sources, it is not hard to perceive that
it is a county of great value, and that
great IS the changes have been in the
last ten years, they will be still greater
in the next, viewing the prospect for
more rapid growth in the light of the
character of population, the facilities
for reaching the county which the rail-
road companies are now providing, and
the food OF light which has recently
shone upon her resources. In point of
fact Idaho County has a greater divers
iiy of resources than any other county
in the State, and her products are be-
ginning to excite the attention of the
country and awakening it to the convic.
ton that it has productive capabilities
not heretofore suspected. The business
of farming commenced on Camas Prai-
RE nearly thirty years ago, and in all
that time there has never been total
failure ofcrops. There is, therefore, no
point Of this beautiful and glorious sec
ton that has not its fertility aud values
thoroughly established. With the EN-.
ioyment of ample and regular railroad
transportation assured in the near fu-
ture, nothing is now wanted but people
to occupy Camas Prairie fully-an az

would appreciate. utilize. extend and

IT'S A srocK-RAIsER's PARADISE.

Owing to the temporary absence of a
certain market for their products, the
residents of Camas Prairie are largely
engaged in stock raising, aud therefore
the pursuit of agriculture is secondary
consideration. Nearly everybody has
cattle, horses and hogs to sell, and the
sale ofsurplus stock is annually increas
ing, The sales during 1889 aggregated
$4,000. Owing to the absence of rail-
roads, a great part of Camas Prairie is
neither under fence nor cultivation, and
so the live stock can be cared for, when
necessary, right under the eye of the
owner. The Prairie. the adjoining
Indian reservation. the river canyons,
and the vacant lands not vet taken up,
all combine to make the Camas Prairie
portion of Idaho County a paradise for
the professional stock grower, for here
is found a combination of the finest
bunch grass range, with abundant water
and milder climate than any other
locality possesses. Stock growing is,
indeed, the principal industry of Idaho
County, and very nearly one half of it's
taxable property is found in lis herds
of live stock.
