performance of public work or pri-
vate task, clean and conscientious
in his attitude toward all men, his
career has been one of achievement,
of accomplishment, of success.
His activities in. behalf of the
state of Idaho have been productive
of the most beneficial results for the
state. His private interests have
been none too large to stand in the
way of doing something for the ad-
vancement of the state of his adop,
tion; as citizen he has given OF
effort, time and money; as govern.
or he gave to Idaho wise and sub
stantial administration; as the pro-
moter of the Governors Special
and later as president of the Trans
Mississippi Commercial congress he
has brought attention to this state
and created benefit that could not
have been accomplished so success
fully through any other agency, and
by reason of these things has caus'
ed Idaho to be known throughout the
union as state Of progress, of ad
vancement and stability. He Is
known as man of purpose and his
good work is commended throughout
the nation, has brought him recog
milton and renown, which but re-
bounds to the credit of his state
