Dear Sir: 1t is with pleasure that

the people of the arid west in our

the redemption Ct the STRIFE lands is
most marvellous, and it's growth 'of
settlement has aroused the admira-

This is inspiring to the people to

ergy and perserva ce of the pioneers
with warmth tof heart for their strug-
gle and hardships in an uninhabitatod

through irrigation to raise the life
giving properties to sustain vast
population to make happy homes.
1t is simply a reverance Of love to
be appreciated, to honor the zeal and
integrity Of the pioneers unsefishnesa
for their benevolent work to make
people happy, and to be useful in
their day and generations.
The settling up Of these beautiful

inspiration to the rising generation
to emulate the example of the inter-
piI pioneers, to raise from the earth
to make the people self supporting

Therefore, | trust all will honor the
emminent services of the venerable
pioneers while mortality endures.
1t is 2rand to see cur beloved
mountain homes made beautiful in ag-
ricultural development; yielding boun
teous diversified crops, to be loaded
on the cars, and transferred to steam

1t is magnificent to see the beau
tiful rivers and streams Of Idaho, her
waterfalls, her majestic mountains;
her rich lands of many colors under
the sunny skies; her mild breezes of
the Japan ocean current, are delight
full to experience. The mountains arc
wonderful to look at in many respects
different from the eastern and middle
west states.
In scenic beauty it surpasses the
