Former Governor Brady Tells OF Bet
ter Business Conditions East
and West.

That one Of the greatest periods of
prosperity in her history is in pros
pect for the state OF Idaho and that
at no distant date. is the word from
the past brought by former Governor
Brady who yesterday returned from .
brief visit to Potlani, prior to
which he spent several weeks in the |
east, visiting New York, Washington |
Chicago and other cities.
Governor Brady returns from his /
extended trip enthusiastic in the
cause of the Gem state. All over the |
east he declares the eyes of the peo-
pie are turning towards the west. and
upon no section is the gaze more
nearly centered than on Idaho.
Financial conditions, declared
the governor, ARE greatly improved
over what they were a little while
ago. Money as more plentiful and the
business men and investors are be-
ginning to reach out for investments,
The recent stock market disturbances
have had the effect of enhancing the
value OF western securities, possess
ing as they do a greater element of
stability than majority of the
stocks and bonds of eastern COM
panies. This in itself is a good thing
for Idaho and presents a situation
which Idaho will do we'll to take ad
vantage of.
Good work for Idaho.
During my stay in the east
spent a number of pleasant hours
with Senator Borah and Congressman
French. Senator Hepburn did not
see. Our entire delegation at the
capital is doing splendid work, and
Senator Borah in particular Is look
ed upon all over the east as a power
in Washington His speaches have
drawn the attention of thinking men
all over the country, and it is not too
much to say ha he is regarded as
among he first half dozen men in
the United States senate.
While in New York / delivered
four addresses on the subject of the
west and Idaho in particular, and in
Albany ] spoke to the assembly, con-
sisting Of both houses of the legis-
latlire. which was in session.
Important Work at Portland.
At Portland we held a splendid
meeting of the executive board of
the Western Development association
at which were present among others
representatives of both the Hill and
the Hartman lines. One really good
thing we accomplished was to draw
these two lines closely together in
their efforts to help Idaho. In this
respect we succeeded in bringing or
der out of chaos as it were, and dn
. the future the two great systems will
work harmoniously together as far
as the Gem state is concerned This
/ was assured us by he representative
after we had made our position clear
to them
! We decided to send a special get.
: acquainted train east about October
! This train will carry an exhibit q,
: the best that Idaho produces in he
= way of Horticulture and agrioulturai
/ products, as well as many others
= The distinctive feature of this train
however, will be in the fact that not
/ only Will it carry a splendid exbibi,
3 to be contained in four specially dtted
: cars, but IL will have on board some
] or the best known public men of the
! state. We expect to take with n.
p ne governors of several OF the west
ern states, and we are going To pe
e among the people OF the east ana tel
q them as well as show them of IN,
= things Idaho has.
- Talk for the Gem State.
/ There will be talks by those or
q board both public and private. anf
= these Will not only be on the srhiec-
e or ldaho's resources commercially I'm,
;. have no intention whatever Of bavins
= anything to do with land If they do
D come west. In other words. we wan
e the people Of the east to know ahou'
e our public school system and the odu
- cational facilities Of the state in gen
,. eral. Our advantages in the way o.
S modern civic conditions and what ".
/ are doing for the men and women o.
e Idaho apart altogether from the rae,
Tor the almighty dollar In short. ",
viii make it our business 10 convinc,
the east that the will and WOOL,
west Is thing Of the past and ha
o In he capital civ Of our state we an
possessed Of every single advantag
Of an eastern city as well as one o
k two of which the average run o
y eastern cities know nothing about
). The elimination Of all traces of pref
e udice still remaining against tn
e west will be in large part the oh
ject of the trip. and we are layin
e our plans to make II thorough an
e convincing"
