THEY ARE COMING THIS WAY.
PLENTY OF ROOM.

ter or brighter than at the prssel
time. Many things have transpirs
recently to help along this line, b.
none of them so much as the generi
movement started 10 bring the after
tion of the outside people to III
great resources of this section in
systematic way and one that is Ger
tain to bring results.
In the past the different communi
ties have to a great extent wOrkes
single handed and in so doing tn.
essential or most important features
towards getting the prospective in.
weston to come and see for himself
have been overlooked. No movement
has ever been started that promises
to overcome this one difficulty 50
much as the organisation of the Ida
ho-Washington Development league.
But this one feature Is not all this
great movement will accomplish.
Aside from getting all the people to-
gether where they can talk over the
different problems along this line
and get them to work together as
one community and as they should
do, they have already received con-
cessiOns from the railroad companies
towards getting people to come here.
People coming from the east and go
ing to the coast can now come by
the way of Lewiston for the same
cost that was formerly the fare
straight through to the coast, and
when they get to Lewiston they can
make side trips in the different di-
rections with but a nominal addi-
tional outlay. In the past this heavy
additional cost prevented thousands
from making the trip this way who
would have done so had it not been
for the extra expense. This will
mean that hundreds of people will
come in the future to see this and
adjoining points of this great prairie
and, when once they come up here
and see for themselves, there can be
no question as to the wonderful re-
suits.
But some have said: "What can
we do with the people after they
conner The land is all taken up"
This same thing has been said Of
many great mining countries where
the mines had been worked for
years and the old miner or prospect
or believed there was nothing left,
yet some other fellow would come
along and go over the same place
and find something better. Many
people looked over this country
years ago and believed that it was
it only for grazing country and
hat man could never live here and
nothing could be raised on this prai-
.ic. Many people saw the great $
treams of water rushing down the {
:anyons in this state years ago but B
did not occur to them that some 0
lay the same streams would be pro- l
Iucing light and power. Many Peo- D
lie saw the great mass of rock along q
he Clearwater river but never b
Ireamed that some day there would il
Ie immense lime quarries there. a
dany people repeatedly said it was y
for a railroad to build up S
n the prairie, and so we might emu v
aerate a thousand other things. b
Sat the people are here; we raise
be biggest amount and the best II
uality Of grain anywhere; the va m
sr power is being developed and is A
reducing light and power; they =,
ave a line quarry along he river n
nd are going to have more and big II
,er ones as we'll as cement plants -
he railroad is here and doing big O,

So when these new people come b,
he's will see many things we have
verlooked and they will make more
ioney than We are making. They Z
i'll develop the country faster than I
e are doing and we will sit back !
nd wonder Why we could not have :
