what 81 great benefit would come to our
state thereby This S q matter that
could nc directed ly rho Idaho Mining
a'Nocla'lon, a> the would know how to
assemble aa office of that kind. and ii
properly hanaled. there can be NO doubt
as e the benefit We would receive.
The state of Idaho should have an of.
tlee M san Francisco ia charge of
irst.class man who has a knowledge of
aiI Idaho not just one county. but the
entire state. and he should have maps
amt information aud everything that is
usual along those lines 50 that in IA dig.
niied, truthful manner he may tell the
people about the opportunities of our
state. The land companies should have
a big office with by exhibit down
town where people could be invited to
and given an understanding of the OPP
portunitics of our state.
The Idaho commission has appropri.
atcd $4,000 for livestock exhibit. 1t
is not so much what we will have to
show, although what we have is as fine
pedigreed cattle, hogs and sheep as can .
be found anywhere in the world, but it +
is the fact of having the right kind Of
a man there to represent Idaho and to
get people to come into our state and
engage III the livestock business. This
matter will be supported by d. o.
Lively, livestock commissioner for the
exposition, whom consider the best
general livestock man in the United
States along commercial lines, and I'M
der the direction of Dean w. l.. Car
lyle on the part of Idaho and with such
assistance as we can all give him, there
can be no doubt about the benefit of
such a line of work.
Another important factor, the state
of Idaho has no advertising matter. The
edition of the book known as The Dawn
of Plenty, which was published by the
, state department of migration, will
| soon be exhausted and we will have to
90 to the exposition without sufficient
} advertising matter for our counties and
: state. In fact, we will not have any
: thing unless an appropriation is made.
; The writer is trying to get the various
a counties OF the state to get up an eight
e page folder with map of the state of
i Idaho on the inside, and then by cuts
=. land truthful statements, have some
a thing to show of the resources OF our
t respective countless this is very much
l. needed, and folder that anyone can
5 put in their pocket would be the best
e way of handling this item. 1t is a mis-
Y take to load people up with heavy lit,
j. erature at fair, because when they get
d all they can carry they get tired and us
v uallv lay it down somewhere and 1T is
d lost. 1t would be good idea for the
o commercial clubs who are getting Out
II literature to follow the advertising got
II ten out by the railroad companies, az
A. they have had great deal of expert
: ence with advertising, and if ever,
! county would issue, say 10000 of thes
folders with cuts and an honest reclta
of the resources of the county and hav
| them signed by the county commits
sioners and place them in the hands
| the executive commissioner he woul
have something to hand to people VIII
are interested. If man wants to kno'
about wheat, he does not want to carr
around a lot of literature relating
mining and stock raising and all tina
he wants to get an idea where he ca
raise the best wheat, and these folde
which. if the counties would lssn
would cover the ground very compile
and give the man who desires to kno
about Lemhi. Latah, Idaho or Bonn
| counties, or any county in the state,
| keen. concise idea as TO their merit
The executive commissioner has LAHORE
with the different commercial clubs al
they have all promised to do somethin
but it must be done quick for the til
is approaching rapidly when he fair W
omen and then it will be too late to ia
M these matters with rush.
1t would seem, now, that this is T
ting opportunity for the commerc
clubs and county commissioners and t
citizens of the state to get together
sensible lines in one splendid effort
assist the Idaho commission to
Panama Pacific International expo
ton in the work they are trying to
The cost of the folders which the go
missioner is advocating would be abb
$3.50 to $1,000 for the publication
90 900. and this office is ready to g
advice or help on all matters that wo
be of interest, and the counties maxi
| mistake if they do not provide sol
| thing of that kind, and if they !
10000 of these folders at cost to tn
as above stated, nobody would be hi
