Mind which planned all things, made
at the junction of the wonderfully rich
valleys of the Snake and the Portneuf
a location for the habitat Of man
which should become the metropolis
of a mighty empire. A gateway sur
rounded on the three sides by the
eternal hills, with the broad valleys
of an earthly Paradise stretching to
| the north, east and west, where these
rock-ribbed peaks melt into the low
lands and make way for the husband
man and the herdsman to establish the
Granary and Storehouse Of Plenty.
Gravel throughout the valley Of
the Winding Snake and a panorama
of Peace, Plenty and Prosperity un-
folds itself before you. The fields
stand rich for the harvest; the pas
lures and hills are dotted with count

in the very air. The silvery waters
Of that great river are the fathers
Of our abundance and our power, and
it is to the industry Of a great people

1.-THE Idaho Spirit
The oratorical gem of the evening
was the address Of Colonel Avery c.
Moore of Occur d'Alene City, who
chose for his subject "The Idaho
Spirit" Colonel Moore is a finished
and brilliant orator, than whom per-
haps none is more eloquent in Idaho.
Colonel Moore said:
Mr.. POSTMASTER and Gentlemen:-
The letter which ordered my appear
ance at this festive board, gracefully,
and with due regard for proportion,
admitted that the motive was to Sc
cure the presence of "a real person

fellow-guest, Mr.. Brady, with my best

preach it you are doing your commu-
nifty and state service for which
money cannot pay-and generally
doesn't try to pay. In other words,
you take pride in saying good things
about Idaho and find the best possible
reward in doing so. That is a good
thing for Idaho-and for you.
The pride that our fellow citizens
take in their state counts for more
than all of her material resources ia
ken together, wonderful and varied as
they are. 1t is pride which converts
the material things into blessings. The
love of home is the essence of patriot
ism, and America is rich in patriotism
in proportion to the affection that the

there are many who have realized it,
and in their souls they understand.
They have tuned their hearts to the
melody of her mountain rivers, and
they have heard message Of golden
promise in the breezes from her eter-
nal hills. They have looked with
grateful eyes upon her fertile plains
, and valleys, and they have recounted
to their wondering children the deeds
of her patriot dead.
And why not be proud Of Idahoq

people who call them "home,'' but of

the common possession Of the north
