The Latah County Develop
ment LEAGUE

Inc Latah County Development
League has been organized and its
officers for the present year selected.
The purpose of this League is the
development of every section of Latah
County.
Latah County is, as whole, not
nearly developed. We have some.
thing like $4,000 people in the county
at this time and we have sufficient
land and opportunities to support
population Of 100000. There is
only one way to get this greatly de-
sired population. We must adver-
tise. Today desirable people are
leaving Iowa, Minnesota. Wisconsin,
the Dakotas, Missouri, Kansas and
the southern states by the train load.
They are coming TO Idaho, Oregon
and Washington. They are in
search of homes and business oppor-
tunities.
Latah county is the best county in
Idaho insofar as soil, climate and
natural resources are concerned. We
have more railroads in this county
than In any other county in Idaho.
We must have money and people to
develop our resources. By building
in, the railroads recognized the great
natural resources of the county. We
must take note of our resources and
develop them. This task is beyond
the power of our present population.
We must have help.
The Latah County development
League has been formed for the pur.
pose of advertising and promoting the
interests of the entire county. The
league has several plans for adver.
Using. Thousands of circulars are
to be distributed throughout the east
and eastern publications will also be
used.
The league has under consideration
the ACCESSIBILITY of gathering together
a car load of exhibits of the products
of Latah county, securing a car from
one of the railroad, and in this
manner actually showing the eastern
people what we have in the way of
advantages in this county.
No ether method of advertising can
produce such satisfactors results.
To accomplish this advertising we
must all get together and work to
common end. 1t takes money to
advertise and to do the other things
that are necessary and that are ex
pected of the league. Dues for
! membership have been placed at 81. 90
per year. At this figure every citizen
of Latah county should Immediately
become member of this league. We
want 5000 members OF the league the
first year.
Every class of our population will
be greatly benefited by the work of
the league. The league expects every
wide awake citizen of the county to
contribute one dollar for the purpose
of advertising aud promoting the best
interests of every section of Latah
county.
The officers of the league have hit
upon the plan of holding booster
meetings in the different commercial
centers OF the county. The first will
be held in Troy, at 1880 o'clock,
Saturday afternoon, March 90. Fol-
lowing meetings will be held everv
week or two at other towns in the
county. Large crowds should attend
these meetings.
When you read this article. if you
are an optimistic citize and have the
best interests of our county at heart,
send your name and one dollar to any
of the officers of the league, Don't
delay or postpone, But let US have
your dollar and your name at once.
