Greetings
A convention ofyour represent

the city OF Boise, at 10 am, the
10th of September. 1912, for the
purpose of ofconsidering the follow
ing questions:
/. What steps shall be taken
bv the state of Idaho to insure
adequate and successful repres-
entation of the states developed
and undeveloped resources at the
Panama Pacific International
Exposition to be held at San
Francisco in 1915.
2. What further steps shall be
taken by the State of Idaho to
insure the advertising of the op-
portunities presented by this
state to those OF other sections
of the United States between now
and 1915 for the general purpose
of increasing the population of

accomplished, and for the partic-
ular purpose of persuading as
many as possible of the visitors
to the Panama Pacific Internat-
ional Exposition to either go to
or return from Calinfornia on one
of the many railroads traversing
this state.
The State of Idaho has already
selected one of the two or three
best sites for state buildings at
the above mentioned exposition;
it is a beautiful plot of ground
looking out upon the Golden
Gate Harbor and is Immediately
in front of that section of the baY
on which the naval manOeuvers
will be held. 1t is necessary that
Idaho shall do justice no only to
itself but to it's sister states and
to the Exposition by gathering
and maintaining there as fine an
exhibit as may be of the agricult-
ural, mineral. timber and other
resources of the state.

OVER SIX MILLION
SPENT LAST YEAR
Beck's Report Shows That 1911
Broke Record Of 1910 by More
Than 100000
Building Record

Building operations in tho city of
Richmond for the year which closed
last night showed an increase of more
than 100000 as compared with 1910.
Although 1t was realized that Inspec-
tor Bcck's figures would reach the
highest mark known since the depart
mcnt was created. 1t Was not believed
thrce months ago that the grand total
would pass the sG,00o.O00 mark.
But that is the record. Inspcctor
seek gave out yesterday his report
Tor December, together with his re-
port Tor the year showing that in 1911
inc total amount of new work and
repairs authorized amounted 10 So
olS,d99, as against sa.ol2S22 in 1910.
More Permits Issued.
While plans were approved for a
number of largo structures which
helped to swell tho grand total, there
were more actual permits and "A great
cr variety of work than In the preccd-
ing year Madison Ward, which is in
the heart of the business section.
naturally led in the table which shows
distribution by wards. yet Clay Ward,
which has taken in much of the new
territory, comes second, with Lee
Ward third. In all of the wards l,17G
permits were issued. $50 of which were
for new work and 626 for repairs. The
estimated value of new work was So
i7i2S9, while the estimated value of
repairs. additions. etc, was S5i4,4lO.
1t Is well to add in this connection
that the actual cost of new buildings
is moro often greater than the amount
set down In the application for per-
nit and also that the cost of equip
mcnt and fixtures is seldom included
In the total cost figures filed with the
building Inspector. In word there
fcre, the actual amount Of money put
into circulation far exceeds the fig
ures contained in the report.
Fine Evidence of Growth
Being anxious to mako his table
complete. Inspector Beck has shown
that the average value of permit for
new work was S6,726.l7; avcra &c value
OF permit for alterations. repairs. etc.
was ST6c,i7. making the average value
OF total permit issued s3,9aS.a3
In many respects the increase over
1910 is regarded as remarkable. and
gives nnc evidence of the fact that
the growth and development of Rich
mond has been steady, with none of
that Huctuating boom which is so
harmful in the end. Mr.. Beck said
last night that the report was n source
