position. Local Representatives
VIII be Sent to Assist in Making
State and County Known.

Wounld you like to go to San Fran
cisco to assist in making Idaho and
Power County known to the countless
throng who will visit the great EXPO
sition there? If conditions are such
that you cannot go are you willing to
contribute $1.00 so that someone else
may go to represent Power county? If
so, and there is no doubt about IL, you
will be given an opportunity to aid.
Some conditions at the great fair are
against Idaho. One Of these is trans
portation, another lack Of exhibits,
and still another is lack of interested,
we'll informed people to represent the
several sections and the many inter
ests Of the state.
Tuesday evening C. j. Sinsel, one Of
the leading business men and members
of the Boise Commercial club, and G.
8. Brainard, one of the leading citi-
zens of Payette, came unannouncel
to meet with the local people and ex-
plain their mission. When they left
everyone with whom they talked was
an enthusiastic advocate OF their plans.
Realizing that something was need
ed to get for Idaho her full share OF
the benefits of the great exposition
at San Francisco, some of the leading
men of the state met recently and or
ganized the Idaho Publicity asocia-
ton with three classes of membership
as follows:
Individuals $1.00 per year.
Business firms, organized industries
elc., minimum of $500 per year.
Municipalities, counties, etc, reas-
enable appropriations.
An executive committee will be chos-
en- of one member from each county
which will hold regular meetings in
Boise, and work out plans to bring
benefits to the state. Such director
will be chosen Monday night. This
board will largely control the expen-
diture of the funds raised from mem
bership fees. A feature rof the plans
is to keep one or more representatives
from each county at the exposition all
the time until it's close. The board and
lodging of the representatives will be
paid out of the state appropriation. A
reasonable salary and the necessary
travelling expenses will be paid by the
Idaho Publicity association and the
representatives will be changed about
every four weeks, which will give a
number of people from each county al
opportunity to represent their county
and state.
This plan has the full endorsement
of Idaho's Exposition commissioner
On March Il q lengthy telegram was
sent him by Mr. Sinsel after the mat
ter had been considered carefully by
a number OF the repres entative bust
ness men of Boise and vicinity, brlef
ly explaining the purpose of the pro
iected movement, and on March II, Mr.
Czizek, exposition commissioner re-
piled by wire as follows:
Your message received. Wish tt
state that there could be nothing more
pleasing to the commission and mysel

correspondence from all over I'M
country as we'll as find much interes

The work Of organizing and perfect
ing plans was then actively undertak
en-, and has rapidly progressed. u
April the following letter was re
ceived from Mr.. Chick:
"As stated before, you know ! DO no
