FISH STORIES
There is a good old definition of
advertising that says it consists of
getting something mentioned. The
fellows who move away from Black
foot and get interested in real estate
deals either as principals or side
kickers, have habit of writing back
for advertising in the home papers
and paying the bills in "apprecia-
ton" If the publisher is a good
sport he is liable to pass the matter
on to his readers and take note of
how many of them want some Of
it. The advertiser is usually such a
generous fellow that he sacrific S
(unloads) all he has to the new
corners, and is next heard from in
some other place with something en-
tirely different, and of course, vastly
better.
Our former nurseryman, Mr.. w.
A. Younie writes strong advertising
appeal to a Blackfoot man, and we
publish it herewith, inviting even the
blind to note its transparency. We
think is it UP to Brother Younie to
become life member in the subscrip-
ton list of the Idaho Republican, but
we wouldn't mention it for the world,
This is his letter:
March IL, 1914.
H. c. Taylor, Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear Friend: l have been think
ing l would write you a letter for a
long, long time so here goes.
There is so many good things to
say about this land of. sunshine that
| hardly know how to begin, it should
be enough when I tell you that the
coolest weather We have had all win
ter is about eight above zero, and
that I have been running my auto all
winter.
We have the finest drinking water
that man or beast ever drank, it
comes from a beautiful spring in the
side of a mountain back of the town.
The Red River Lumber company
is building one of the largest saw
mills in the world only nineteen miles
from here, when it is completed they
will work between seven and eight
thousand men, and expect to ship
forty cars of lumber each and every
day for ten years.
1t is useless to say right here that
all kinds of farm produce and meat
are high. Eggs are forty to sixty
cents and butter is never less than
forty cents while meat is almost pro-
hibitive and chickens bring from one
to one dollar and fifty cents each,
I don't like meat and chicken at those
prices, so go fishing.
I have mentioned the fish SO l
will tell you few things about the
fishing. Just allow your thoughts
to reflect and your Imagination to ex-
pand long enough to see yourself
joining me on one of these fishing
trips, where we crank the car and
take some bread and -four and start
over beautiful road through the
with it's sides lined with |
the finest fur and pine milling timber
for distance of some fifteen or
twenty miles and then arrive at one
of these beautiful lakes as clear as a |
crystal, and filled with the finest fish |
Of all kinds you can imagine; then
Imagine yourself pitching your camp
on the bank of this beautiful lake or
stream amid pines that will make
from twelve to fifteen thousand feet
Of lumber to the tree, then the first
things is to prepare your tackle for
q fish, and the first cast of your line
you hook three to five pound bass
DR. trout, If you can conceive of any
better sport than trying to land one
Of those big fellows then you have
GAL TWO
got my goat; it is useless to say that
after few days spent in this way
you return home, not only happy but
with no doubt in your mind as to
life is worth living.
Now to give you brief outline of
what we are doing in the town of
on the 5th day of Decem-
Der of last year we laid out an ad-
iition to the town of Susanville; this
was laid out in lots 50x150 feet; the
irst two days sold on this addition
'orty-two lots at two hundred and
ifty dollars each, there are seven big
tore buildings being built this spring
ind Lord knows how many resident
louses will be built this spring as
ioon as they can get some material,
n other words there is not stick
# building material in the town that
me can get to build thing. II
