The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1914-06-18


touch With the mining people of the
world and explain to them the char
acter of the res and the possibilities
acter of the ores and the possibilities
This should be done without any at
tempt to exploit prospects or sell
mining stock which would absolutely
spoil the intent of the work and therr
can be no doubt but what great
benefit would come to our state there
by. This is matter that could b.
directed by the Idaho Mining aSsocla-
ton, as they would know how to as
semble an office of that kind, and II
properly handled, there can be no
doubt as to the benefit we would re-
ceivc.
The state of Idaho should have an
office in san Francisco in charge of a
first class man who has a knowledge
of all Idaho, not just one county, but
the entire state, and he should have
maps and information and everything
that is usual along those lines, 50 that
in a dignided, truthful manner he may
tell the people about the opportunities
of our state. The land companies
should have big office With bis
exhibit down town where people can
standing of the opportunities of our
state.
The Idaho commission has appro-
priated $4,000 for livestock exhibit,
1t is not 50 much what we will have
to show although what we have Is as
fine pedgreed cattle, hogs and sheep
as can be found anywhere in the
world, but it is the fact of having the
right kind of men there to represent
Idaho and to get people to come into
our state and engage in the livestock
business. This matter will be sup
ported by D. o. Lively livestock com .
missioner for the exposition, whom
consider the best general livestock
man in the United States along com
mercial lines. and under the direction
of Dean w. L. Carlyle on the part OF
Idaho, and with such assistance as We
can all give him, there can be NJ
doubt about the benefit Of such line
Of work.
Advertising Literature.
Another important factor, the state
of Idaho has no advertising matter
The edition Of the book known as The
Dawn of Plenty" which was publish
ed by the state department of mmi
grafton, labor and statistics, will sool
be exhausted and we will have to, g
to the exposition without sulllclen
advertising matter for our counte
and state In fact, we will not haV
anything unless an appropriation
made. The writer is trying to get tn
various counties Of the state to get II
an S-page folder with a map Of tn
state of Idaho on the inside, and the

something to show of the resources

much needed. and n folder that any
one can nut in their pocket would b
the best way Of handling this item
is a mistake to load people up wit
