Many of the men who are most ac-
tive in organizing this southern COM
mercial congress have for long time
been preaching that the south should
not only develop it's agriculture to a
higher degree of efficiency, but that it
is time for the men of that part of the
country to take more energetic mea-
sures to expand their manufacturing
and business interests. They believe
that the attendance of large num-
Der of the most enterprising men of
the southern states at the conference
between the national conservation
commission and the state governors or
their representatives will lead to a
fuller realization of the immense ma
tural resources of the south.
In this connection they cite re-
cent report by the geological survey
which stated that there is a minimum
of about 100000 indicated horse
power developed by the rivers rising
in the southern Appalachian noun
tains, half of which, at the very least,
could be utilized for power. So far
hardly enough has been developed to
make an appreciable showing compar-
ed with the enormous possibilities
Full development of storage facilities
in these river basins would increase
the horsepower from 8 to 80 times, ac-
cording to the experts. But taking the
minimum Of 100000 horsepower, it's
rental at $40 per horsepower per year
would amount to an annual return of
$2S 100000 Water power is much
cheaper than fuel power and will be-
come more and more so as the avail
able supply of fuel is depleted. This
means that the demand for water pow
er will increase. Those southern bust
ness men fOresee a great manufacture
ing future for their section and are
determined to instill their ideas into
the minds of others. They point out
also that the usefulness of these rivers
can be increased not only for manu-
featuring, but for transportation. The
improvement of the lumber business
and of the allied industry of turpentin-
ing has also received much attention
from them In some states, they say
there are very rich mineral deposits
which might be worked with great
profit

that the prospect of strong party ma
jority were as definitely promising as
in previous Idaho campaigns.
Everything points at present to a
complete Republican victory this fall.
There is no doubt that every man on
the ticket, without exception, will be
elected, and poll for Taft and Sher-
man, of which we may be proud, will
be recorded. The situation does not
admit of single discouraging ele-
ment.

the best in the entire West for
fruits, early vegetables and melons of
all kinds.
Here late fr0sts do not occur; the
Spring season comes two to three
weeks earlier than in the lands Of
greater elevation. This early season
enables the fruit, melon or vegetable
grower to put his product on the mar

market price, and before competition
interferes with marketing his crop.
