Congressman French has Sc

a fish hatchery in Idaho. This
bill has already passed the SEN

fish hatchery will be established
in Idaho. 1t isnot known in just
what portion Of the state this
hatchery will be located, for Mr..
French has nothing to do with
the location, but it is made by

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1905.


Senator Hiatt of Boise county,
struck the right note when he
said in the Senate, a few days
ago, that he would be willing to
see the state bonded for a million
dollars to raise money to be
wisely expended in building
roads. We believe that the same
sentiment pervades nearly the
entire legislature. The central
portion of the state is much OF it,
so nearly practically inaccessible
that it's resources, known to be
wonderful, are not attracting
the capital and building up the
industries they would were there
wagon roads instead of mere
mountain trails whereby to reach
them.
The state wagon roads already
constructed, have been the best
paying investments made by the
state. The road to the Thunder
Mountain district, although on Y
so recently opened, is already
paying the cost of it's construc-
ton by making it possible to de-
velop one Of the greatest known
mining regions in existence. But
it has created a demand for road
building to reach the same from
other directions and at other
points. 1t is only a beginning
for what is still required to be
done.
A similar condition existed in
Colorado at the time that now
great state was admitted into
the Union, in 1876, but immedi-
ately the enterprising people
there saw the Importance Of
building roads, and went at the
work daringly. Capital soon
saw it's opportunity and began
building railways-frst narrow
guage or cheaply constructed
ones, which have since become
standard g.uage roads, equipped
to meet the demands. Look at
the Transformation this spirit of
enterprise has brought about in
Colorado in a little more than a
quarter of a century, Her lead
ing city then had a population
but little greater than that Of
Boise at the present time. Look
at Denver now, one of our great
metropolitan cities. Look at
the manner in which every part
of that great state has devel-
opedl Idaho has greater unde-
veloped resources. Let us not,
by a narrow minded policy, re-
tard her resources from being as
rapidly brought to the front as
were those of her illustrious
sisterstate. Build roads-wagon
roads. Railways will follow "as
surely as does the day the
night. "
