extensively in Idaho but II goes
weekly 60 almost every State in the
Union. Hence we are besieged with
letters Of inquiry regarding our soil,
climate, wages paid. and a thou
sand other questions. which il we
attempted TO answer half Of them
our time would be wholly occupied
in attending TO such correspondence.
They are ali from parties who are
anxious TO come west, and doubt |
less great majority Of them would
be valuable acquisitions to any COM
munity, but as much as the BuL-
IETIN desires to build up this COM
munity its editor can not under
take this herculean job---at least not
until his home patronage justities
the employment of assistance to
tighten his daily duties.
Thursday we received a note from
j. w. Bailey of Little Camas, in
which he encloed letter from
Thos. j. Broom, leading citizen of
Hill county. Texas, who, with ten
other families, desires TO come to
Idaho, and he wants information
that would require two columns
space in the BULLETIN TO give.
However, we must say TO Mr..
Broom and his friends that Gilmore
county possesses much good sage
brush government land that will
produce almost anything in the
grain or vegetable line. If properly
cultivated; it produces splendid
fruits and berries of all kinds; it
is good stockraieing section, and
has within its borders valuable
quartz and placer mines. In short,
it is a new and growing county and
possesses many advantages for the
industrious home-seeker. But 1t is
no place fol drones.
In answer to the oft-repeated ques-
ton Of these seekers for new homes,
"Shall / Come to Idaho" we can
not do better than reprint the adj
vice given such parties by the editor
of the Weiser Signal:

If you find it difficult to make a

should have money enough wher
