ADVANTAGES OFFERED.
In Idaho County we offer the best
lands and the best homes. surrounded
by free hearted, enterprising, indie
pendent people. In Idaho County peo-
pie can live cheaper better, happier
and longer than in any other part of the
United States. 1t is now generally con-
coded that Central Idaho is the most
prosperous portion of the state. II is not
only the richest, but it is growing fast
err; it offers more and greater induce
ments to settlers; it's population is more
enterprising, and are more energeticaly
developing the resources of the county,
and the advantages offered are the most
favorable to all classes of men. When
we consider that Idaho is the youngest
State in the Union, but the first on the
Pacific coast in diversity of resources
and in everything that makes a country
prosperous, it becomes a matter of much
consequence to the home seeker to
know the resources and possibilities of
that part of the State which Processes to
offer the greatest good to the greatest
number. The West, as well as the east.
is furnishing settlers for Idaho County.
Men seeking homes who have hastil,
passed over Idaho in railroad train in
their mad rush to Oregon and Washing
ton, have, by bitter experience, learned
that immigration 10 those states is over
done, and that every avenue 10 wealth
and prosperity is already over-crowded
To all such, as well as to the men who
are dissatisfied with the crowded condi-
ton of life in the Atlantic States, we ex-
tend hearty invitation to come to
Idaho County, where they will find
cheap lands, good soil sociable, energetic
people, and the most healthful climate
in the world. This is not a lawless
country. The people are not lax in
morals. Our county Jail has not been
occupied for three years, except by three
cattle thieves from Oregon. The east
ern people have in some way got false
impression of Idaho and of its people.
They have beenled to believe that but
small part of the country is nit for
cultivation, and that its people are
frontiersmen of>the melodrama type.
The mountains are covered thicker
with better timber than is found in any
other part of the inter-montane region.
They abound in lodges of gold, silver
leae, copper, zinc, anthony, and ether
minerals, all of which may be had for
the locating. Our farming lands are
recognized all over Idaho, Oregon and
Washington as being the most product
i've in the northwest. idaho County
therefore offers to the settler three
things that of themselves ought to at
tract all the homeseekers that will come
to this part of the world, and that will
bring them when they realize the sig
niticance of these advantages:
Heath.
2-Nacant agricultural lands.
3-Cheap Improved Farms.
1.-The finest stock ranges in the
Northwest.

over the mountains.

the mountains.
S-The finest forests of timber in Ida.
no.
9-The largest and richest mineral
belts in the United States.
The healthfulness of this country is
proyerbial. No man can live here for
any length of time and not feel the eff.
fecis of the pure mountain air and water.
Situated as we are at an altitude of 81 900
feet above sea level we are not subject
to malarial epidemics. Our climate is
all that could be desired, Severe win
tiers are very rare, and the robust and
healthy appearance Of the people prove
beyond doubt that it is extremely
