Fourth ''Get Together" Lun cheon.
Continued from page one.)

lhls Is one OF tne pest sections In
the state and we feel that at no fan
distant date, the people of southern
Idaho will recognize the fact.
"All the towns in southern Idaho
should be in close touch with one an
other. There should not be any feel
ing OF Jealousy, there should be nc
feeling that if another town gets a
boom that 1t Is not deserving of il
and the people at all times should
work together for the advancement
of the entire country. We feel. in
Mountain Home, that any advancemel
you make in Boise we are helped
and If we enjoy a greater degree of
prosperity than another town, it will
nelp Boise just the same. We like
to meet occasionally and pat one-an-
other on the back and tell of the
great work that is being done"
F. G. Ticknor was the next speak
er introduced. eve wish to thank
the Boise Commercial club" he said
for the privilege of appearing here
before you. | think that these meet
ings will do great deal of good. We
have great many things in common
and we are glad to come here and
tell you Of what is going on Noun
tain Home has the most ideal lOca-
ton on the main line. We also hav
fire soil, which cannot be beaten
shy place in the country and the fu-
ture Is very bright down there. i oese
meetings II seems to me, promote
business interests in Southern Idaho
| caution you people of Poi g to keep
on hustling as you have been. for
l. you don't we will get YOU scat
We are doing a big business and
are going to keep on progressing.
"The Sunryside company has as
sured us that this project is going
through This will mean for GER
tain $1,000 acres of excellent farm
land. The Twin Falls company will
be ready to deliver water to a large
percentage of the tract next year and
the last project, which will accrue
TO Elmore county, is that which will
take the waters from the South Boise.
The country will very soon enter up
on an era of the greatest possible
prosperity.
Ed Helfrich was then introduced
and spoke on the tributary resourc-
es of Mountain Home. He stated
that the town of Mountain Home ex-
tends from one end of the country to
the other and away down in the Ne
vada section. He stated that Jar.
bidge is going to be good camp, al
though the reports for the last month
have not been as favorable as the
people would like. "Twin Falls
tried to knock u.s." said Mr.. Hell
frich, land to say that we were mott
on the map, but few days ago,
when installing their wireless appar-
atus, they have had to make the trip
to Jarbidge by way of MountainHomes
so we have little on Twin Falls.
However, We are not kicking, we are
reaching into the Elko country terri
tory and we are shipping great deal
into the new camp. We get all the
supplies from the Boise jobbers and
for that reason the people of Boise
ought to work with might and main
to help Mountain Home all that they
can.
"As a proof of what We can do in
the way of shipping by freight, the
records show that in 1909 over T.
, $1,000 lbs of freight were hauled to
the South Snake river country from
Mountain Home. This country of
ours is building up very fast and the
prospects are the most wonderful that
we have ever been confronted with.
Just the other day car load of trees
arrived in MountainHome for a Grand
View project. This means that thera
are 10000 more fruit trees for our
section of the country which will be
put on 1000 acres.
Insofar as the mining sections are
we think we have the
edge on the business from the min
ing camp of Atlanta. We are in
position to furnish all the supplies
for the camp, and, while Boise spent
some money in fixing up the road, the
teams were not abletomaket during
the winter, while we were able to
make trips into the district until the
middle of February"
There is great deal of talk
about the Gilmore & Pittsburg road
coming into Boise, cutting through
the Sawtooth range. Why don't you
business men tell these people that
you want the road to come around
