MAJOR REED A VISITOR.
States Booster at Frisco Exposition
Outlines Commissions Plans.

Major Fred r. Reed, commissioner of
immigration, statistics and labor, also,
executive commissioner to the Inter-
national Panama exposition, was in
Grangeville last week, coming up from
Lewiston Thursday and remaining I'M
til Saturday. The Major has been maxi
ing tour of northern Idaho, in the
interest of the Panama exposition, and
said he came to Grangeville in the way
of business, but that he had looked
forward to his visit here as one of more
than the usual business trip.
"Grangeville's people, says the
Major gave me the heartiest welcome
at the time of my former visit here. I
have never forgotten 1t, and the antici-
patton of repeating the. experience, was
most pleasant thought to me. I like
your atmosphere, l like your hospitable
manners l like to meet the kind of peo-
pic you have here, and there is no place
in the state of Idaho where a man can
go and feel more like he was at home,
than Grangeville."
Friday morning Major Reed made a
fine talk to the county teachers in ses-
sion at the new school building. at the
annual institute.
In the evening the Major Inder the
auspices of Grangeville's Commercial
of the Imperial hotel, and those who
attended are loud in their praise of his
sound and vigorous line of thought con-
corning the exposition and the interest
of the state al large.
He gave a very consise report of the
work accomplished, showing the great
advantage the state has secured by hav
ing built the first state building, and
the consequent result of much advertise
ment. He told of the real value to the
state of having representation among
the many state and foreign countries
and although our appropriation was com
paratively a small amount as compared
with many others, it had better be that
than not at all, as we would be notice
able If not represented and with care
full and conservative expenditure, we
would be able to make a splendid show
ing
Touching on other matters Major Reet
said in part:
what Idaho needs is capital and
men to work her resources Not the
pauper classes of easy money minds
We need to encourage the right kind
of people, to gain the confidence of cap
ital, and do you think it is possible foi
us to induce either to enter and stick
with us while we howl down the state
county officials who are trying t
save us from just what we are plung
ing into? No. There is nothing tina
will help matters for us more than 70

portanee into our own minds for con
sideration. If you don't want publ
funds spent for schools and other pur
poses, don't vote that way.
