Reed, the sage brush orator OF
Idaho. (Applause.)
!. i. 4.
Ladies and Gentlemen: A man
surely ought to talk with such an
Introduction. don't feel as though
needed an introduction to many
of you, as | come here among these
beautiful surroundings, know that
they were not intended for me, but
il can enjoy them.
/ didn't come here to tell you how
to live, or how to run your busi-
ness, or where you should bank or
who to bank with. | have been a
worker in my field for a good many
years, not occupying a very high po-
sition, but | have been a good active
private in the ranks of progress.
But | want to show you what has
been done in Idaho in the last few
years, and that the public, the IN
vesting public throughout the United
States are interested in Idaho.
will take up some of the large pro-
iects in the Snake River Valley, Lin
coin and Twin Falls counties.
I suppose that you are all familiar
with the Carey Act, where a million
acres are opened, and ] believe three
million provided they would pro-
vide canals for reclaiming those lands
The first company that did anything
was the Twin Falls Southside COM
pany. They built canal and put IN
dam at Miner. They were the first
to open up on general scale the re-
sources of Idaho. Thousands OF peo,
pie came from all parts Of the coun.
try to the Southside. The towns OF
] Twin Falls, Buhl and Kimberly.
I camped on the hotel site, where
| now stands the beautiful Perrine
Hotel, and slept on the ground. anc
cooked my bacon and eggs on a camI
fire, now they have a beautiful hote
there and a town of five thousanc
people. The banks are in a healthy
condition, the stores are doing grea'
business, and splendid people have
come.
Two years ago Mr.. Kuhn of Pitts
burgh, who think Is at the heac
of fifty-four companies. representing
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1909-05-28

many millions of dollars, was invited
to come to this country, and took up
the Northside project. We had l8O,
90 acres Of land, uncultivated, sage
brush, no cultivation, except at Bert
Perrine's Blue Lakes and few other
places, nothing to eat or to drink.
During the two years there has
been three or three and a quarter
millions of dollars spent In the con-
struction of canals, the main canal
and laterals covering distnce OF
nearly six hundred miles. II yon could
go with me, every one OF you, and
see an object lesosn and inhale the
atmosphere of progress. would ad-
wise your Commercial club to take an
excursion, to secure reduced rates and
special train. It has been under ad-
verse circumstances, but 1t was push :
ed by men who had unwayeringly car
ried the banner, who had tried to
interest eastern capital In this great
work, who had UP to that time form
ed no co-partnership with the capital
OF the east. They had failed. and my
money and other mems money had
been consumed, but by organized eff
fort we formed partnership with
these captains of finance.
These Kuhn brothers, / speak Of
them particularly because ! am in
their employ, they do not furnish all
the money for the construction work.
But under this great and splendid
act of congress, and under the splen-
did management OF the State Land
Board every reasonable opportunity
has been furnished to these promo
ters and these parties to carry this
great law to completion. And ] want
to say that the last Land Board. and
some of the present board have done
every thing possible, but Governor
Gooding, and | believe that Frank r.
Gooding, as the time lengthens from
year to year, that the administration
| of that hard headed and hard fisted
Idahoan will stand out as one OF ac-
complishment and action. He was not
so tactful and diplomatic or polished
as some. And Attorney General
Guheen, now citizen Of your city,
and Secretary OF State LaDsdon, that
helped these Carey Act people to ful-
fill the contracts they had made with
the people and the company and the
state and the COMPANY.
| 1t has been tremendous work,
A desert of 202 miles. we had nc
way OF crossing except by horserback
or wit ha buggy. We had no water

Snake river until we could get the
wells bored and the water stations
established.
And the work has been going on.
and never ceased. When the late
panic occurred the business went on.
We couldn't get the cash. but we
paid our help twenty or twenty
per cent in cash the first month, and
the rest in notes on the company
bearing six per cent interest; the
next month we paid them, forty per
cent In cash and the balance In notes;
and SO on down every month. Now
they are paid In full, and the people
not only had the benefit Of the cash
paid, but of the interest besides.
During that time there were many
conflicting ideas. We had to 60, as
Mr.. Kuhn said, into twenty mine diff
ferent states where the bonds had
been sold for the purpose OF carry
ing on this great enterprise. Our pay
roll has been from 1910, 100000 to
$235, 100000 a month.
That part of 1t has been done. We
have built the bitches, and we have
advertised Idaho as 1t never has been
advertised before In all Its history.
And advertising Twin Falls and that
district has done more In putting the
resources Of the Snake River valley
before the people of the country than
anything else. a

We have down there the towns OF
Burley, Kimberly, and the new town

LOCAL OPTION LEAGUE

In response to a call for a mass
convention at Idaho Falls last Satur-
day several Blackfooters boarded the
morning train for our neighbor city
on the north with an earnest pur-
pose of doing their full share OF
whatever work might develop as a
result Of the meeting. The meeting
was called to order by Otto McCutch-
con chairman of the county central
committee for the republican party.
Mayor r. N. West of Blackfoot was
made chairman and Jesse H. Neil
son secretary. 1t was determined to
name the organization the local OPP
ton league, and on motion OF John
F. Shelley, a central committee OF
seven was appointed or elected to have
direct charge of the campaign. Mrs.
A. L. Campbell, George Ward and D.
G. Platt Of Idaho Falls will conduct
in the north of the county. Mrs.
Catherine Bennett at Shelley, Rev. 9.
A. Edwards, III. H. Grimmit and Pres
ident Duckworth will have charge OF
Blackfoot and the southern portion
Of the county. D. G. Platt will act as
chairman and G. A. Edwards secre.
tary. All plans and arrangements VIII
be carried out as this board directs
The fact that our Blackfoot delega'
tion made good at the mass meeting
is proven by the report given In the
Post of Idaho Falls, which mentions
that Mayor West, p. G. Johnson
President Duckworth and Rev. Ed
wards made commendable addresses
Rev. Evans was also on, hand ant
took an earnest part in the discussion

Major Reed, the greatest believer
in and enthusiast for Idaho, the most
faithful worker the state has ever
known, an organizer who achieves. "A
friend of every old pioneer and new
settler, a man who studies condir
tions before he talks about them, the
big irrigationist Of Idaho, spoke to q
large and appreciative audience at
the Armory. He came at the call Of
the -Comercial club and his speech
is here reproduced.

been accorded the distinction and
honor Of introducing to you as the

ing, but Major Reed of Idaho.
/ will say that the good people of

mind that they have one Of the best
agricultural territories in the great
northwest. Though they have been
slow in advertising this section. And
as / said to Major Reed this after
noon, that we get very few people
to cast their lot with us, that there
are some who come that have lost
train, or perchance struggled in, and
that way we have been getting them.
Major Reed has been engaged in
many walks of life, in building towns
has been building canals and cities
and counties in this state. He is
associated with people who have been
spending vast amounts in the develop
ment OF this state.
| 1t has been deemed advisabl by
our Commercial club to have him
come to Blackfoot, to look over ouI
resources, to meet our people, to look
into our faces and to discuss the
possibilities of this country, and we
deemed that it would be a good med
ium of advertising to this part OF the
Snake River valley.
