| lueIe were bankers, n6rcnanJS, QOc
tors, lawyers, and preachers all work
ing for the same thing-good road
at the smallest cost-and they wer'
all doing good work. l was given al
invitation to try my hand, but that il
out of my line of business now and
had to decline.
''Kendrick and Juliaetta are gettins
up a rousing Fourth of July celebration
amongst. themselves and for them
selves, thus showing spirit of coop
GRAFTON between two towns whose only
rivalry is that of friendly spirit fol
the upbuilding of Latah county.
The Biggest Little Town
From Kendrick 1 went TO Troy
Troy is the biggest little town and the
most hustling one there is in the en-
tire state. There is nothing but q
spirit of enterprise and hope dominat-
ing every one you meet. Every man
knows only one thing and that is
Troy. There is great industry there.
They have brick factory that makes
vitrified brick as good as is made any
where. 1t is a success financially and
commercially. When the north and
south railroad is completed we will be
able to use all of the vitrified brick
made a Troy in south Idaho
''Troy has an abundance of every
article that enters into the manufac-
ture of the brick and the wood at the
smallest cost.
''Troy has one of the largest depart
ment stores for the size of the town
in the state of Idaho. While in Troy
was royalty entertained by the citi-
zens and businessmen and there l was
met by delegation of rs men from
Moscow, who invited me to visit Mos
cow. The committee was headed by
he president of the university, Dr..
3rannon.
"You can't go to Latah county unless
you go to Moscow. People there be-
ieve that all roads lead to Moscow,
md I admire that spirit.
From Troy I went to Genesee, an
'ther one of those active towns with
business houses and future
Possibilities
Beautiful Farm
"On the way to Moscow we passed |
place owned by a man named John |
.orang, which is called the White
pring farm 1t is the prettiest farm |
nat have yet seen in the state of
daho, barring none. The gentleman
tho owns the place must have receiv-
d his inspiration from some castle in
foreign country, as he has selected
lie ground and everything and i'm
roved it accordingly; there are foun-
lins and shrubs and wines that are
lviting to any one. Everything is of
lie highest improvement that can be
ad on a farm. l was tempted to stop
Id get acquainted with the owner. I
slieve that a picture of the farm
Yned by John Lorang of Latah ,
'unty ought to be on the front page 7
Idaho's advertising. But my COM .
lnions assured me that / should not /,
It too enthusiastic about this matter :
there were dozens of other homes >
Latah county equally as good and
egant as Mr. Lorang's. I have no
5ht to find any fault with their Y
dgment until some later time when r
shall see the country. .
Wheat and More Wheat
In this 60 miles of farms through d
rt of Latah county saw nothing but tt
leat and wheat and barley Every d
re titled, plowed and showing the
st abundant crops that are possible tt
der any conditions. Wheat is as K
ok as it can stand and as high and tc
her, III some places than the fences Ell
e barley is the heaviest l have ever
n. In Latah county it is not ques- W
n of raising the crops-it is a A
sstion of getting the men and the "A
chinery and the sacks to take care O.
it. If they can do this they will El
re all the money they need, in one 81
son. 1t is pleasure to see the
undant blessings of nature upon q lie
