The campaign is over and the peo-
pie are going about their usual avoca-
tons as if nothing had happened. The
election was not entirely satisfactory
to any party or faction. neither was
it entirely disappointing to anyone.
In consequence. neighborly and
friendly feelings are being more
quickly re-established this year than
for a great many years in the past
This fact alone is re-assuring. 1t may
be that the people are becoming more
sensible in their politics as they are
becoming better anu more thoroughly
acquainted. Great bitterness was en-
gendered during the primary. cam
paign and earlier in that for the gen
eral election. This bitterness has died
out except among very few. We do
not mean to say that the disappoint-
ments have been forgotten. but they
are remembered in corrow rather than
in anger. L is now the duty Of all
good citizens to do their utmost in
helping the duyl chosen servants Of
the people in performing their res
pective duties that good government
may be maintained and prosperity pre-
vail.
Here in Idaho since the people can
again calmly look at their own con-
dition in its true light it is seen that
prosperity is bound to exist for a
great many years to come. The har-
vest discloses one of the greatest crops
in the history of the state. Every pro-
Queer has had yielded to him a much
greater crop than he could possibly
have expected. From Idaho Falls
this week comes the news that two
solid trainloads Of potatoes had been
shipped from that point last week.
Halt as much were shipped from the
Twin Falls district The same week.
These potatoes were consigned to
Wichita, Kapsas. The trains consist
ed Of Is cars each and each car con-
tanned 1900 pounds. This is only the
beginning of the shipments from those
two districts. The Boise Valley potato
district will start to ship potatoes as
soon as cars are available. Buyers
were in this section some weeks ago.
We are unable 10 ascertain the crop
OF the Boise Valley but it viii easily
equal that of the Idaho Falls district
The people Of the east are commencing
to appreciate the Idaho potato as they
have long appreciated Idaho fruit. The
fruit, grain and hay crops were as
great as was the potato crop. In fact
the fields. forests and mines of Idaho
have yielded abundantly and in conse-
quence prosperity has overtaken and
swamped the farmer In addition
new industries are becoming vital fac
tors in the affairs Of the state. The
dairy, poultry and hog industries have
assumed immense proportions. The
sheep industry is'in satisfactory con-
dition although It has suffered some
depression for two or three years.
Another factor that will make for
the prosperity Of the entire state is
the development work already under
way and about to be undertaken. IT.
rigation projects are nearing compile
ton while still greater ones are in the
formative stage. Among these latter
are the Black Canyon and the Bruneau
projects. The former appears to be
more certain Of accomplishment now
than It ever hos. although the people
here have never doubted its ultimate
consumation. The Bruneau project
wall also be under way within three
years. The railroads have in con-
temptation great extensions and Inn
provementA The Oregon Short Line
will undoubtedly do considerable work
this coming year. Word from Winnie
