States Publicity Man Tells
of What Idaho Has and Needs
at San Francisco Exposition

getting the farmers for the land miners
for the hills, capital to develop our re-
sources, manufacturing to create con-
sumers and payrolls, and create home
markets. All this means Idaho's sue
cess.
To briefly state wha has been done
so far, and what we are intending to do
is as follows:
We have built state building, we
are making $4,000 feet of moving pic
lures of scenic and industrial Idaho, we
are assembling wonderful mineral ex-
hibit, we will have a beautiful fruit
display, the development of our great
hydroelectric water power plants will
be featurized, the opportunities of the
cut Tower lands of the north, the great
forests of timber, and the products of
the farm, field and stream, we will also
care for educational and social features
so the people of the state need have no
fear but what Idaho's exhibits will
compare favorably with those of any
state. But when all this is done we
have just gotten started, because we
will only be one of many states who
are assembling their products on the
same lines that we are, and if we do not
do something more than that, I have

MAJOR REED MAKES APPEAL FOR
COOPERATION AND IMMED-
late ACTION FOR DIS
PLAY AT BIG SHOW.

With view of conveying to the peo-
pie of the state the exact condition and
plans of Idaho's participation in the
Frisco exposition in 1915 Major Fred R.
Reed has addressed the following in
teresting letter broadcast over the
state:
The most important question con-
fronting the Idaho commission to the
Panama-Pacific International exposition
at San Francisco in 1915, is what can
we do to serve Idaho best.
1t is true that we have erected a
building at most reasonable cost and
have dedicated that building, and OBJ
tanned publicity that if we had to pay
for it in dollars and cents would amount
to several times the cost of the build
ing.
For the benefit of the readers l desire
to quote paragraph from a letter re-
ceived from the secretary of the Mon
tana exposition commission:
VoAt w COASIdtuidIc yOu Ou YOUR
good work for Idaho. The very fact
that the Idaho building was completed
and dedicated first of all is worth more
to the State of Idaho in the way of ad-
vertising as good, live, progressive
state than the full amount of the $780,.
900 appropriation"
This great work is not one man g
work but it is for Idaho and its people,
and it is the duty of every citizen to
take personal interest in this exposi-
ton.
1t is true that Idaho has appropriated
100000 for the purpose of exploiting
the resources of the state. 1t is true
that you have an executive commits
sioner who receives salary to create
Idaho's part in this greatest of all ex.
positions. However, Idaho is a young
state, rich in resources, but few in popu
lation. 1t is a conservative statement
to make that not five per cent OF
Idaho's legitimate resources are devel
oped and producing today. What, then
are we going to do at the exposition to
give Idaho the greatest help towards

ANOTHER JUNE WEDDING.

H. Hender and Mrs. Nancy Jones'
Cook were married Monday evening at
the F. Fl. Meader residence by Rev.
James A. Hedges. The ceremony was
quiet one, though the demonstration
of joy and congratulations by jolly
crowd of tin pan choristers following
could hardly be classed as solemn. The
groom has made his home in Grangeville
for some months at the home of his son
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Morris, while the bride has as many
friends in Idaho county, possibly, as has
any other lady. The Free Press joins
in the myriad congratulations and well
wishes.

Anticipation.

"One summer l CHANGED to be back
in the ridges Of Tennessee" said
United States Senator Blair Lee Of
Maryland, as he leaned back in his
chair, land a couple of mountaineers
got into an argument High words
led to blows, and one of the men was
killed. One of the party volunteered
to ride on ahead to the dead mans
cabin and break the news to the
widow
she was seated at a table eating
apple-dumplings when the man rode
up. He broke the news as gently as
possible. The woman listened quietly
with dumping poised in the air half
way to her mouth. When the man had
finished, she stuffed the dumping into
her mouth and said:
"'You-all jest wait till finish this
hyer dumplin' an then you-all'll hear
some hollerin'.'"

EolIowed Her vanrshed Nest.

This story of thrush that missed,
and caught its train comes from Lima
vady, in Ulster, Ireland. The bird had
built its nest under a first-class car
rage Immediately over the steam heat
ing pipe, and Notwithstanding that the
carriage travelled between Limavady
and Londonderry, the nest contained
four eggs.
The institution of the summer serv-
Ice of trains caused trouble. The car
riage left Londonderry in the evening
at 4:40 instead of 4 SO, and when the
mother thrush, who had presumably
been on a foraging expedition, re-
turned, she found carriage, nest and
eggs had disappeared. She was no
ticed at Londonderry in apparent dis
tress, and the station master appraised
Limavady Of the circumstances and
asked the railway people there TO look
out for the bird, suggesting that she
would probably arrive by the next
train. The bird duly arrived at Lima
vady either by train or air and re-
sumed her task of Matching the eggs.
The sympathetic railway officials
have decided to withdraw the carriage
from service pending the Matching of
the eggs.
