Will Advertise. et8
D. R. Hubbard has just returned
from fifty days visit In Washington,
where he went largery In the inter-
ests of the proposed advertising
scheme for the Payette-Boise irri-
eating proposition. Mr.. Hubbard Is
chuck full of enthusiasm over the
proposed plan and is able and willing
to import the information regarding
the plans of the proposed advertis-
ing to be done thru the Payette-Boise
Water Users Association. The prin-
cipal feature of the scheme is, that
of having moving pictures illustrat-
ing farm scenes, as for example q
picture of farmer going to the field
to pillow, then will follow the SOW
ing and irrigating of the crop until
the grain is In the stack. Then
there will be dairy scene, showing
the number of COWS that can be
maintained on one acre of land in
this velley when planted to alfalfa.
There will be pictures of the great
timber resources, mining views where
the giants are throwing water on the
gravel bank, which carries the gold,
showing how q placer mine is work
ed, then too, there will be views of
some of the stamp mills where the
gold and silver quartz is worked.
But the handsomest and what will
they will be finished in the highest
fruit pictures, all the varieties Of
fruit will be colored true to life. The
government is sending an expert to
photograph who will remain for the
greater part of the summer. All the
negatives will be sent to the gov
eminent offices at Washington, where
attract more attention. will be the
style known to the art.
Now when the pictures are all
ready, the association will purchase
a machine and other paraphernalia
necessary for running moving pic
ture show. 1t is Mr.. Hubbard's idea
to open up first at the Iowa State
Fair. where a free lecture will be
given concerning the Boise and Pay
cite valleys, accompanied with the
illustrations In this manner 1t is
believed that greater number of
people will become interested than
by any other plan and at much less
expense. It is the intention to visit
at least seven state fairs, besides nu-
merous other agricultural and horti-
cultural meetings. After the fairs
are over, then certain localities can
be visited, the exhibition being free
will always secure crowd. 1t is the
intention of the directors to issue
a paper devoted exclusively to the
Payette-Boise Irrigation project. Ar
rangements will be made SO that at
each lecture any person can obtain a
copy of the paper for one year by
depositing his or her address in a
box together with rs cents. The
above is merely an outline Of the
work proposed to be done, and the
advertising scheme is almost in
conceivable, and that too, at a
mere nominal cost. owing to the as
sistance rendered by the government.
1t Is understood that the U. p, and
o. s. L. R. RS are going to con-
tribute literally to the undertaking.
1t remains now for the citizens
OF the Payette and Boise valleys
to do their share, to make the plans
as outlined reality. and land that
is now being sold for $50 and s75
per acre, will bring from 5000 to
$500 per acre. All that is needed
now is to let the people of the mid
die west know the kind of country
we have here by showing them pho
tographs of products of the soil.
During Mr.. Hubbards stay In
Washington he visited all the agri-
cultural departments and talked
with many of the head officers and
consequently gained much valuable
information. He found that the In
terror Department is very much in
terested In the progress Of the work
In this valley and manifested q will
Willingness to assist in any way posi-
BILE to further the work now In pro-
gress.
