THE GREATNESS OF LEWIS
COUNTY.

Lewis county is the smallest in
area but has eight of the other
Idaho counties surpassed in assessed
valuation and population. It has
more farm land in proportion to
its area than any county in the
state. It has a greater percentag.
of its wealth in the rural section
than any county in the state. Il has
nine banks within its borders, about
forty miles of railroad and many of
the best improved farms in the state.
The total value of the wheat and
barley raised within its present
boundaries in the year 1909 amount
ed to more than $1,000. 900. The
county will be the cheapest to adj
minister in government in the state
On account of its wealth and COM
pactness, and the taxes will be less
than any other county in the state
after it is organized if properly con-
Quoted, and of this there is but
little doubt.
Amy class of people who are cap
able of developing and improving
country like the farmers on Nezperce
prairie have done the past fifteen
years, under such adverse conditions,
by taking an absolutely raw prairie.
sixty to one hundred miles from
transportation and develop more than
ten millions of dollars of actual
wealth in that length of time, are
certainly able, capable and compe-
tent to govern a county of their own.
