when we began our plans for this
exposition we discQered that in the

pie were working together to send the
best they produced to Chicago and
Omaha. Then we went Into our own

ihe men and women Of this stata, but
the Bas. especially IN the vicinity Of
Chicago, know little. 1t was getting
along close to the time when quick
action was necessary and SO we sent
men out into Idabe, who gathered up
the best of the fruits and cereals, the
finest grasses and the records OF the
wonderful yields. All Of the products
were packed in Union Pacific cars and
sent to Chicago and Omaha free Of
charge, and there placed in the Idaho
booth of the Union Pacific, where
they attracted widespread attention.
Only a Few Years from Desert.
Idaho is one of the newest of the
reclaimed states, and yet we secured
products of the soil which were the
superior of any grown In the midwest

since Idaho was little more than des-

homes, miles upon miles Of well-im
proved, prosperous farms and some OF
the finest fruit orchards | ever saw.
That was our problem, to show these
wonderful things to the people who
were looking for homes.

thousands upon thousands Of peo!

she had to offer Our stereopticon

Get Together and Boost,

Idaho, the state of satisfied people
became more pleased with herself re.
Gently when the Union Pacific an.
nourced that s75,000,000 was to be
spent to double track the Union Pa
cific system from Omaha west to the
Pacific coast A short time later when
Gerrit Fort, passenger traffic manager
OF the system, told the world that ST.
100000, the greatest amount ever ap-
propriated by any one concern for a
like purpose. was to be expended in
telling the world of the advantages
OF Idaho and the rest of the Union
Pacific territory, Idaho took on even
a more satisfied smile and chuckled:
Before they found out what a great
water supply had, and what my lands
would do, these double tracks weren't
needed and they didn't think of adver-
tising on such scale l had q big
part in It,"
Idaho did have big part in our
plans" said Mr. Fort. I'm fact It was
the possibilities of Idaho and other
parts OF our territory that caused this
big appropriation to be made. Then,
too, the great exhibits Of the United
States Land & Irrigation Exposition
company at the Coliseum in Chicago
and the Western Land Products Ex-
position held In Omaha opened our
eyes wide. The way the people
crowded into those immense build
ings and gathered about the ex-
hibits of the wonderful fruit and grain
products took our breath away. It
was the land hunger that also helped
