Timely Article from the Pen of d. E

Idaho possesses practically every.
thing that any eastern state does to
attract the attention of the manufac-
turer, including mineral deposits of
many kinds; agricultural production
second to none; timber in vast guam
titles; and conditions decidedly IA
vorable for the raising of cattle, sheep
and hogs; but over and above all
other claims the state may make for
supremacy as prospective manu-
featuring commonwealth, it embraces
one UNNECESSARILY rich resource and
that is an unlimited water power sup
ply. The utilization of this resource
is at present but in it's infancy.
while water has wrought mir
acle in making of Idaho the greatest
irrigation state in the union its
value as factor for putting into mo-
ton the myriad of manufactures has
been but slightly realized, therefore,
Idaho has bright future as power
state future almost unequalled, and
capital awakening to this fact, is be-
ginning to harness the power sources
of the great Snake river and its trib-
| utaries, and with each advance made,
innumerable avenues are opened to
the manufacturer, so that Idaho may
frankly and fairly invite the location
of almost anything within reason in
the manufacturing line.

in recent years it has been necessary
to export to outside manufacturing
points, the immense production of
raw materials developed in Idaho,
and while 1t may now be truly said
that slight beginning has been made
in keeping the added manufacturers
profits at home, the state is still let
ting slip away, each year, millions of
wealth that rightfully belong to Idaho
to share with the manufacturer who
has the foresight to realize the great
riches of the state and to take advan-
tage of them.

be out of place in passing to mention
that this state possesses immense gyp-

industries and you have we'll run thu
