BOSSNER is IN
LOVE WITH BOISE

w Fred Bossner. who formerly was
located in this city. came down from
Boise yesterday for a short business
trip and says that the Idaho capital
is one of the most progressive cities
Of the west Since leaving Ogden.
BosSner has been conducting a mo-
ports that he has met with wonderful
success in his new venture.
Il have not lost my love for ogden
and the many friends l have here.
he said today, but have fallen madly
in love with Boise during the short
time | have resided there and believe
IL has a wonderful future.
-"One of the first things that inn
presses a visitor TO that city Is its
cleanliness and modern appearance;
also the many beautiful homes. No
matter in what part of the city one
goes. residences will he found that are
surrounded with beauty difficult 10

AT the present time Boise is eX.
periencing what is virtually building
boom, there being no less than q
dozen large modern business blocks in
course of construction. This includes
a large hotel being built by the Shu-
bertS, which, it Is asserted, will be
equal to any in the west In addition
to this, many new dwellings are being
erected in every section OF the city.
The people of Boise claim popula-
ton of $4,000 and predict that within
the next five years this number viii
be doubled While il Is on a branch
OF the Oregon Short Line, the city can
boast Of two fine interurban lines and
it Is only a question of d little time
until it will find a place on the main
line of some of the many roads now
flirting with the state of Idaho.
Boise greatly resembles the pro-
gressive cities of the east and has.

getic business men than any place of

tion in all branches Is keen, but all
of the business houses seem 10 be
prosperous and many are branching

indicative of success
so far this year. | am of the opin-
ion. it has not been as warm in Boise
as it has been in ogden, and, with one
exception, the nights have been cool.
In general the climate Is much the
same as that of your own city
Boise has an excellent water sup
ply. first class fire and police depart
ments. good street car service. many
beautiful churches and schools, and a
system of education that is second to
none in the country. There Is in
course of construction at present a
new high school building that, | think.
will be larger than that being built
here
Indications are that large portion
of the state of Idaho will vote for local
option at the election called for this
fall Both sides are organizing their
forces for the final struggle. Should
the 'drys' win the election II Is diff
cult to determine what the result will
be in a general way. Conservative
people are of the opinion that no mat
ter which way the election goes, Idaho
will continue to advance without ap-
parent hesitation.
Recently the business men of Boise
adopted the phrase. You'll like Boise,
to be used in advertising the town To
my notion this was'a happy selection,
because every person visiting the city
likes not only the place but the peo-
ple. and YOU know this goes a long way
toward furthering its interests.
"I am pleased to see the way ogden
is advancing No matter how long
shall be away from here or where
may be | will always have good
word and n warm spot In my heart
for ogden and Its people
