Seeking state Aid for Railroads.

The following self-eXplanatory
communication is being sent out to
every city and commercial organiza-
ton in the state of Idaho and Oregon:
Boise, Idaho, Feb. 16, 1909.
To the People of Oregon and idaho:
The Oregon-Idaho Development
Congress will be held in Boise. Feb
26-27. The objects of this Congress
are to develop the states of Oregon
and Idaho, particularly the southern
portions thereof by the encourage
ment of irrigation projects, the build
ing of railroads and other legitimate
means.
Included within southern oregon
and southern Idaho IS one of the
richest empires in the United states.
This territory has hardly begun its
developments 1t has less railroad
mileage than any other section of our
country in comparison with its
wealth and resources This terri
tory must ultimately be the home of
millions of people and with the pro-
per encouragement publicity ana in
dustry on the part of its own people
it will within a few years shelter sew
eral hundred thousand inhabitants.
one of the main objects of this
Congress is to build a railroad across
southern oregon into southern Ida
no. Such railroad would cause a
marvellous development and would
advance both states far beyond the
present stage. 1t would prove OF i'm
estimabe value to every city withln
100 miles of II and would probably
be the means Of bringing to us new
transcontinental roads from the east
Sou are urged to appoint delegates
TO this Congress and to make every
effort % have your delegates attend.
This is not a large convention. but lt
is one which is in dead earnest. The
organization has set out TO do a Ccr-
tain work and that work must be
done in the very near future. II Or
egon and Idaho are 20 be developed
as they should be, the people OF these
states must cease to wait for promo
ters to come from the east: they must
awaken and do the development work
themselves,
