Those having the petitions on the
proposed National Park in Idaho
should forward them as soon as pos
sible to Congressman French. The
Red Fish Lake and Sawtooth Noun
tain country is about a days jour
ney from Boise; the lakes lying in
the northern part of Blaine. The
lakes are Alturas, Petit, Columbian,
the greater Reddish lake and lying
to the northeast, the smaller Red
fish lake; also Stanley lake named
for Captain Stanley. This is only
part of the scenic beauties of the
proposed Sawtooth National Park. A
petition is in the Payette National
Bank. Every voter is urged to take
a minute of time and go in and
sign the petition. 1t will be a fay-
or to the Portia Club and a greater
one to the Columbian Club of Boise,
which has taken the initiative of
this 'See Idaho First" movement. |
Idaho has been an unknown quanti- |
ty long enough among the states and
the chance is now up to bring thou
sands of tourists to Idaho. Don't
turn it down, sign the petition.
