WOOL GROWERS WANT RAIL
ROAD.

In accordance with action taken at
their meeting at Pocatello the wool
growers of Idaho have addressed a
/ letter to the Chocago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway, giving some peril
nent facts and figures bearing on an
effort to induce the railroad to build
into Idaho. Following is the letter:
"Mr. A. j. Earling, President c.,
M. & St. Paul Railway, Chicago, Ill.
| Dear Sir: The Idaho Woolgrowers
in convention assembled at Pocatello,
January 10 and IL, 1908, empowered
the secretary to address to you an
invitation to enter the state with
your lines, pointing out to you brief
ly the wealth of business originating
in this western empire, large pro-
portion of which your company has
already enjoyed for it's haul east of
the Missouri river, while an even
larger share might be assured to it
by an actual extension of its rails
within the borders of this common
wealth.
you are already at our doors in
our sister state of Montana and from
there access would be easy and, with
moderate expenditure, considering
the advantages to follow, you could
attain commanding position in Ida
no.
Doubtless these facts are already
known to you, no doubt, you are
in possession of information as to
available and easily accessible routes
from territory into which your lines
are now being extended to the val
legs and stock ranges and mining
camps of this state.
"The great southern and south
eastern portion of Idaho is today
served by but one through line of
railroad---the Oregon Short Line and
it's ally, the Union Pacific.
1.-THE past few prosperous years
have so burdened the capacity of
these lines that their facilities have
proven quite inadequate to the prop
er handling of the business of this
great section, which Is increasing by
leaps and bounds.
Some one will build them-why
not you?
Your line Is already well known
here and we'll patronized for the
short haul east of the Missouri river.
A comparatively inexpensive extern
sion will bring you here in Immediate
touch with travelling and shipping
public, who already thinks well of
you, who have the business to give,
and who stand ready to increase the
tonnage moving by your lines to the
full extent of your capacity to handle
it so soon as your line reaches us.
1--WE respectfully direct your atteh-
ton to these facts:
Southern Idaho has an area 1ssf
60, 900 Square miles.
Southern Edaho has population
of 100000.
Southern Idaho has land under
irrigation under private and govern
ment projects of 1881 TAB acres.

City, Okla, writes:
"One bottle of Peruna which I have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of cafarrh of the
stomach, than years of treatment with
tho best physicians.
IL had given up hopes of relief, and
only tried Peruna as a last resort.

satisfied 1t will effect an entire and
permanent cure.
"Imost cheerfully recommend Peruna
to all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as a last re-
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been used.
Sanitariums have been visited. Travel
has been resorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief II
found.
This history is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year. 1t 10
such results as this hat gives Peruna

We could say nothing that would add

the best argument that could be made.
