ulating on the number of emigrants
who are coming into the state than the

Idaho is the mecca for many emigrants
the number of whom easily offset the
number of people who are said to be
leaving the state. Under the law he
! is required to issue permits to stock
emigrants bring into the state and
| within the past week he says no less
than IS cars of emigrants. their house
hold goods and stock came through
the gateway of Idaho to remain here

cars came straight through from Illi-
nois. The emigrants are Germans Of
the very best kind ana their settlement
in the Gem state will induce others to
come to Idaho. Many OF them went to
the Twin Falls section while others
settled on the Minidoka tract.
| State Veterinarian Bodle also de-
clared that there is a marked increase
in the number of brands registered
with his department the past few
months over previous years which is
! taken to indicate that the incoming
settlers are adopting brands to see that
their stock is properly marked.
