'Idaho is destined to be a great
sate. not only on account OF its big
rrigation enterprises which will con-
Eert it into big agricultural state,
.Dt also on account of its manufact.
fling Industries, which are being de-
<eloped on every hand, says an eastern
ban to the Capital News.
'Bonds for irrigation enterprises
q #bich have heretofore been difficult
u handle on account of lack of de-
Enite information regar ling the pro-
bets will no doubt find ready pur-
bases, now that the wonderful de-
1elopment wrought by such projects

b the capital city prior to their re-
flrn east after an inspection trip over

party, after luncheon at the Com

Bank BUILDING. The grain was close
" inspected and many comments,

party passed from one display of the
Exhibit TO another. Genuine surprise
was evident that grasses and grain

pecting that they would have to dis

OF wonderful development were true
and that there we're still greater op
poItuuities for more development.
