The cOntiaaal immigration from Eu.
rope has flooded the eastern states to
such nm extent, that many people. and
especially those OF moderate means, find
It necessary to move to those localities
where the same amount OF energy, and
the same investment Of money, will pro-
duce greater result The west, with
its mighty rivers, and mountains filled

Eastern people, to-, have begun to
comprehend that the west is not barbar-
GUS and that In addition TO the marvel

need not suffer for want Of educational
facilities, or those delights Of social in

the lack Of which has deferred many de-
sirable people from movement west
ward. A man is social being, and to
him who has long enjoyed the l'fe Of a
closely populated community, there IS a
natural reluctance to move with their
families, to countries where children
must be raised under influences which
ARE not propilious.
In our state this rough, formative per
iOd has passed. That element Of rough
ness that lack of regard for law and
order, which are results Of q new and
loose government, has ceased to be.
We are now west OF schools and
churches-a west where personal and
property rights are secure. Capital has
commenced to find this out. The PROV
erbial eastern ignorance Of western char
acter, culture, and resources is passing.
and with its passing comes desirable
immigration. This immigration must,
10 greater or lesser extent, be stayed in
the state OF Idaho, for our financial and
social prosperity are proporlionally de-
pendent upon the amount OF new settlers.
We have everything but people, and we
must have them. We need them 10 dig
gold from the mountains, to cut timber
from our forests, to make the desert
bloom, to buy, to sell, to traffic. We
need them, and to get our just proper
tion we must let them know what q
great country VIC have. The state rec
ognizes this by the appointment Of al
immigration commissioner, by its appro
priations to eastern expositions to show
what we are, and what we are doing ii
the west.
Those counties and communities
which need people, must supplement
this state work, If they desire to real
