California Loyalty 10 State Attracts
Attention Of Nampa Citizen.

During my regent trip to California
where l resided for five years,
FROM As IA, SO years ago, was very
mnch interested In noting the
uAanimity that every citizen of Cali
10RaEA stands for the state OF their
a&optiOn In the entire trip through
tie state ! did not once hear q
word against any other portion OF
x4l,e state Each and every man seem
"a 10 be enthused with the feeling that
he lived In the hest state in the I'm
1cs, and he did his utmost to let that
Haf4 be known. Ii his town voted
heavy taxes for good roads, the citizens
regarded not as burden, but as q
profffable investment. Did they decide
G. seAke part in an exposition, that also
w1a regarded as an investment that
111qnM give large returns.
Twas Informed in the California
bullding at the exposition that the sew
. southern counties OF the state ex-
pended one-half million dollars In pre-
pairing and maintaining their exhibit
III fhe California building. AS result
a0f &211s anterprising and liberal way
enf lonking at public questions and ex-
ain& the glad hand to each and
4VNfy man who comes within their
1o1ders, California Is steadily attract
5nH desirable citizens from other
While conditions In many respects
IL All10rnia are not equal to those

cAFefullysslpported 1iberAlity, are with
every enterprise advertising Califor-

Collective Exhibits of the Nebraska

In Nebraska. In our advertising ex-
tibdta, we did not endeavor to adver-
tase Crete, Fairmont, Geneva, Hast
Ing3 or Brownsville, but we gathered
together the best possible exhibits in
agricultural. livestock and horticultur-
al lines which could possibly be gath
erred together In the effort to advertise
the state 0f Nebraska

TN best accomplished by work
fnK td& Stlier on broad lines ~
wish the citizens of Idaho would
work together with the unanimity with
(which the people of Nebraska devel-
ss1ped that state from broad prairies
nEto fertile farms and would be as en-
terpr1sine as the citizens of California
IA supporting their worthy enterprises
We would help to educate our own
people to give us the supreme conf
4dence IN our own unexampled resour-
s,es and opportunities, and If we greet
the people who come to see us In the
WY that Nekraskans and Californians
greet the people who come to their
borders, instead of reciting our trou-
HES. we shall speedily place Idaho in
front among the states Of the north
vest.
