Lewiston Teller: Immigration
has already set in, and if we are to
judge by the present indications,
Idaho, and especially North Idaho,
will see the heaviest immigration
this year ever witnessed. The al
most total failure of crops in our
eastern sister states of Montana
and Wyoming, deeply as these facts

give even additional strength to the
great boom throughout North Ida
no. This boom has already reached |
this section of Idaho, and Lewiston,
which has been in the rear so long,
we are happy to say is ready for it.
