The meeting of the Eastern
Idaho Press Club at Pocatello
last Sunday and Monday was the
best in the history of the organi-
zstion, and The Gate City and
American Falls did themselves
proud in showing their resources
and entertaining the members.
It's good thing to let people
know what a town has, and it does
no harm to Blackfoot and other
towns in Eastern Idaho to have an
ambitious town at the mouth OF
the Port Neuf Canyon, with grand
prospects for wholesale trade, and
with fine resources, shops and
public institutions.
1t helps Blackfoot, 1t helps Ida
no Falls and st. Anthony as well
as every other town. The princi-
pie of building up home indus
tries should be observed.
Our retailers should buy Of Pc
catello wholesalers in preference
to Salt Lake houses, because we
want to build up Idaho and near
by towns rather than those of an
other state. This creates more
business and better markets for
our home people, builds up de-
pot Of supplies closer to us, brings
more taxable property into Idaho,
and in sustaining the retail trade
of our own town it increases the
trade and taxable property of our
own county.
Pocatello has secured a freight
rate that enables her 10 ship in
goods at the same price they can
be laid down for in Salt Lake and
Ogden, and this is rapidly devel-
oping wholesale trade for the
Gate City, which is the second
city in size in Idaho, and tina first
city in point of railroad connec.
tions.

Senator Aldrich said that no matter how

that the executive departments had no

include other communications.
