the town which now bears his name.
He owns nearly all the telephone,
street railway and banking properties
Of the town, and besides has thousands
of acres of land under cultivation in
the surrounding country.
The black Rockefeller is man who
dislikes to talk about himself. He at
tributes his success as a business man
to the fact that he started with small
tract OF land, gradually built up an i'm
mense plantation, the whole devoted to
the cultivation of potatoes, and man
aged the business himself in detail. He
profited by his mistakes in early life,
and now, at 45, is the richest negro in
the world.
Mr.. Groves says that the conditions
of the American negro is improving
He thinks that the black race grows
better as the idea of self reliance is i'm
pressed upon it. He favors education
and cites cases to show where entire
settlements of negroes are improved by
the addition of one black doctor or
lawyer.
Mr.. Groves laid the foundation of his
fortune in the potato business, and to-
day is the largest individual shipper of
pototoes in America. His shipments
last year were in the neighborhood of a
thousand car loads, and found buyers
all over the United States, Mexico and
Canada.

True Spirit Of Idahoan.

A recent issue of the Portland Tele-
gram contained the following very
complimentary article concerning the
Idaho exhibit at the fair:
If the legislators of Idaho, when
making an appropriation for the idaho
eqhibit at the Lewis and Clark expos
ition. had had in mind solely the bene-
fits to come to that state in the way of
immigration and inv, stment of CAPT
tai, they could not have outlined bet
ter character of display than the one
with causes so many favorable com.
parsons when the Gem State building
is visited. In "playing" for the home
seeker, if that was really the purpose
of the exhibit made, Idaho has singu-
larly and happily combined grouping
with artistic taste and actual quality
AS result. superintendent of var
ious exhibits report that quite a few
home-hunters from the middle west
are going directly from the fair to Ida
no, while it is estimated that directly
and indirectly the states exposition
showing will be the means of adding
several thousand to its population be-
fore 1907.
No attempt was made by Idaho to
have sectional or county lines drawn,
or to have the general display show
one county up above another. The
building and it's contents we're designed
for the good of the state as a whole.
Ore was brought in in such quantities
and carrying such values that the min
ing man coming to the building is held
there in spite of himself. With the
educational exhibit, in which larger
portion of the counties is represented
than in any other department. except
possibly mines, it is case of serving
double purpose-that of showing pos
sible settlers that all tue advantages of
schooling they had back home would
be available in the Gem State, and that
of encouraging visiting pedagogues to
take up their lot in Idaho.
From nine to twelve teachers day
linger in the educational department,
presided over by Miss Gustison, prin-
cipal of the Lincoln school in Boise,
and from the number AID nature of
the inquiries made, satisfactory per-
centage of these seem to have decided
to apply for positions in the state. A
welcome awaits them, as Idaho is not
yet overburnened with professional
trainers of youth.
The Idaho fair commission feels il
has attained great deal in presenting
compact exhibit. The members say
it is time enough to inject the "local'
idea when people are ready to start to
look the state over. A middle west
farmer, spending an hour in the agri-
cultural exhibit, goes away with a clear
idea of just what quantity and quality
of grains Idaho produces, the state be-
ing considered a stronger drawing card
than the locality.
The horticultural display is kept con-
stantly replenished by fresh consign-
ments of fruit, and since these pro.
ducts began to come in floor space is
taxed to the utmost. In the past few
weeks, flour, many varieties of nuts
tobacco, wines, comb honey, melons
additional school exhibits, severa
kinds of vegetables, wood and severa
other specimens of resources have beer
brought in.
