A STRONG point in favor Of Idaho. an

A STRONG point in favor Of Idaho. and
especially Of the Southern portion OF
the State, is its adaptability to diversi-
fed agriculture. All Of the great crop
staples, outside of the citrus fruits, OF
the temperate zone, can be successfully
grown here. We neither have to rely
on wheat nor corn nor potatoes. Nor
any one crop. Should one fail, others
can be relied on to help out. In addi-
tion to this we have water supply for
irrigation, stock and domestic purposes,
ample for all time, when properly util-
lied. Our stock ranges too are almost
boundless, our timber supply vast, our
mineral deposit immense, both in rich.
ness and extent and our climate scarce
ly excelled. What better foundation
could be desired for building a rich
and prosperous commonwealth. --Cald

Private Secretary Neihs Report
In his report TO Gov. Jones on the
status of affairs In the flooded district,
Private Secretary Neill states that the
larger part of Phillips county is under
water, and will continue to be for at
least three weeks. He estimates that
there are in the neighborhood of 5000
people in Phillips county to be cared
for, and about 200 head of stock. AS
there is little hope of cotton crop. the
merchants will not advance supplies,
as they would be unable to make col
lections In Monroe county, the I'm
dian Bay" country is under water, and
fully 1900 people and about the same
amount of stock as in Phillips will have
to be provided for No relief is needed
in Lee county, as local aid has been
sufficient to relieve the distress there.
Some distress is reported in the eastern
part of Cross county, but it is not so
great as in Phillips and Monroe, as the
water is fast receding. Mr.. Neill did
not visit Crittenden and Mississippi
counties, and made no report as to the
extent of suffering there.
