emulation; man must make before he
can save. The eastern farmer who
finds after paying cost of production
and living that he has little or nothing
left is not getting rich with all his
economy. Unless he finds place
where he can get a bigger return on
his money invested his nose will be
on the grindstone for the remainder
of his natural DAYS. For the man of
moderate means, the difference be-
tween living in the east and living
in the west is the difference between
getting along and getting rich.

a reasoning man will see in Idaho's
youth his opportunity for quick accu-
mutation. The state is absolutely GER
tain to acquire vast wealth in the next
decade. just as every other state has
developed by age. The mon who comes
here now will share largely in such
development and requirements. Con-
uitions are such now that progress is
much more rapid than it was in earlier
days. 1t is no longer possible to go
into state ahead of a railroad" but
it is possible TO be i'm advance of heavy
immigra ton. In this case the circum-
stances make success certain in
short time. Within the next few years
now so numerous in the upper Snake
river valley will have been seized and
thrice the amount necessary to make
start now will then be required.

A Man Prominent in the Snake River
Valley.
Tom w Lee, who was general mas
senger agent for the Union Pacific
railroad twenty years ago. and who
has for the last eight years occupied
the position of general passenger
agent for the Delaware & Lackawana
Railroad company, resigned his posi-
ton last summer and came out to the
Snake river valley TO make his home
and to engage in farming and stock
raising.
great marvel to me that a locality pos
sessing so many wonderful advantages
for a large inland city has been So
long overlooked by capitalists I was
a pilgrim in what is now called Colo
RADIO over thirty years ago, and have
made myself familiar with every pro-
gressive step in that region during
that time, and particularly with the
city of Denver. l have also been ac-
quainted with the great valley of the |
Upper Snake River valley in Idaho fer
more than twenty years. 1 have
noticed the resources and natural adj |
of each without prejudice, |
and am free to say the location OF |
Idaho Falls affords wonderful Oppor- |
tunity to build up a great and progress |
Sive community, and possesses at the |
present time far greater natural re-
than Denver possessed for the |
first twenty years of its existence. and |
