new BOOSTER
COMES TO IDAHO
Says Idaho IS the Poor Mans
Best Hope.
Was Employed n Idaho Beeth At csi-
erade Springs Dry Farm Csarss
and Became Converted By
the Products Shown.

Another Idaho booster was added
to the rolls last Saturday when C.
E. CorpOran arrived from Colora-
do Springs.
Mr.. Corporan was employed in
the Idaho booth at the Dry Farm
congress at Colorado Springs, which
adjoined that of Canada and had
every opportunity of studying the
products from each section. The
character of the exhibits from this
state greatly impressed him, and
he decided to have a look at con-
ditions.
The wining of thirteen prizes
with twenty three exhibits was
factor in his coming. but he says
that all who saw the exhibit from
this state were greatly impressed,
and hundreds of people whom he
knows are waiting for report from
him before coming That they
VIII come after receiving it there is
no doubt. He says there is no bet
ter country in the United States
and none as good elsewhere Seen
cry equal to or exceeding Pixies Peak
and the plains. water soft, cold and
clear, climate almost an exact du-
plicate of Colorado's but with DOS {
sibly more sunshine and summer
showers, farm products not excelled
and fruits best of all in the
world" is his way of expressing his
IDEAS concerning southern Idaho He
mas seen the products and the land
which produced them, and says the
combination makes the poor mans
IDEAL condition for getting ahead.
Mr.. Corporan is not stranger In
a new country. He was in western
Kansas in the early days, and one
OF the participants in a three-coru-
cred county seat fight in western
Kansas; built the first store in
cheyenne Wells, Colorado. and was
In official harness in Colorado City.
Colo, for number of years. In all
MS experience in countries abound
Ing In opportunities. however. he
says that Idaho has them all best
ed.
Mr.. Corporan is a patriotic citizen
Oh tne united States, and can see
no reason for the American imigra-
tion TO Canada when better oppor-
tunlty exist here Our fathers
Fought to make this country" he
says, "and for one, / do not pro-
pose to surrender what they gained
by moving to a foreign country.
In Colorado Springs / noticed that
those In charge of that exhibit were
anxious to have everyone register.
have since learned that all who
did so are being beguiled by attrac-
i've literature to remove there
Two OF my own sons have taken
the fever, and l told them to 90.
II they wanted to, but / proposed to
remain citizen of the United
state and enjoy the liberties and
advantages for which my ancestors
fought. If half the work was
done to attract people to the west
mat Canada is doing, our people
would not go there"
They have no advantages to offer
which equal those of Idaho. have
come to the conclusion that no
country. nor no state can offer
such inducements as Idaho. and
want to state that if there is anv-
one from Missouri who wants to be
SHOWN, l will take great pleasure
In showing them. Thousands of
people are looking for the ad-
vantages that surround American
rails. but don't know where to find
mem. 1t only takes little effort
and a little privation here for the
younger generations to build homes
ior themselves in the most health
IuI land in the world, where the
most fertile soil exists.
