ROBERTS BOOSTERS
Visit SALMON

A congenial party of four of Rob-
ert's best boosters experienced a gen.
uine four days outing and business
trip overland to Salmon City and 9th
er points of interest enroute, in the
faithful Sanders Hupp.
The party consisted of Messrs.
Wells, Kennedy, Sanders and Davis,
who left Roberts on Saturday. re-
turning Tuesday. Following Birch
creek from the crossing OF the old
Gilmore freight road to its source,
thence to Gilmore which is the live
liest little mining camp i'm the dis
trict which bears its name, the party
net. some old acquaintances and en-
joyed pleasant stop over. Then out
pacing the cannon BALI of the g.
& p. to Leadore which is the head
of the beautiful Lemhi river they
traversed this stream through one of
tine most beautiful and productive
farm and ranch sections of Idaho un-
til they reached the progressive,
unique, we may say remarkable city
of Salmon. This city is walled In
With towering mountains which rise
| high above the beautiful Salmon riv-
er and is located in the center Of the
grand little valley which is dotted
with excellent homes and ranches
with flowers, trees, grain, grass, or
chards, gardens. etc from which the
good huSbandman renders the lux
urIes OF life not only Of his own flocl
but to those engaged in other pur
suits as mining. timbering, hunting
fishing, etc
Supported by mining, stock raising
farming, timbering and the tourist
the City of Salmon has developed int
a real modern city. The people arr
of the homogeneous type which built
empires. Every one interviewed ha'
the glad hand and broad smile pc
culiar to the westerner Hospitabl
disposition, welcoming the stranger

er development, always good wor'
for his neighbor and his town ant
country. The cause for such beau
tiful appearing city was too pro
nounced ln the attituoe OF the peo
pie to admit Of inquiry.
The members of toe party did no
lose sight of the opportunity to do
little boosting for Roberts but be as
sured they learned few new ones j
the art OF boosting Notwithstanding
they deny being dead ones at tn
game.
Before the advent OF modern ways
the COW yard, the old fashioned wood
pile, the Eog ''wallow, the weeds, ect
held prominent places in the heart c
this little hamlet. To suppressed
these there are now beautiful lawns
trees, fiowers fences, pavements' goo
