manner q fund was to be raised to
be devoted to advertising in the
eastern press under joint arrange
mcnt, the replies to such advcrtis-
ing to be received by the secretary
of the league at Boise, and the
names and addresses of the iu-i
quirers sent to each club joining in
the publicity campaign Mr.. Sif-
fert pointed out that while there
could be no doubt that the names
of inquircrs so received would be
sent to each participating club, the
bulk of the good resulting from
such a campaign would rest with
Boise, in that it would have the
original letters and that specified
questions asked by intending set
tiers would not reach the rest OF
the clubs. 1t was the opinion OF
Mr. Siffert that an advertising
campaign should be conducted by
the local club, as in that way
homeseekcrs would be likely to
be reached by our advertising alone,
their questions would be answered
promptly and adequately and the
literature sent to each OF them
would not be that of all the
towns in the valley but of Noun
tain Home.
1t is the intention of the league
of Commercial clubs, Mr.. Siffcrt
said, to issue a booklet generally
descriptive of the Snake river val-
lev, in which each club partici-
| pating is to have two pages to be
