The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1916-01-21

THAT TOhu nave, WITHOUT an exception
remarked, I tell you / like the looks
OF Blackfoot. 1t is one of the most
wide-a-wake up-to-date little cities
passed thru Again workmen COM
ing from that locality give glowing
reports of the prosperous condition
Of that REGION. All of this has tend
ed to rceate a desire in our hearts
to see Blackfoot. A desire we are
determined to realize some day.
ut was with great pleasure there
for that turned the leaves of The
Idaho Republican and found it filled
from 'Kiver to kiver' with sketches
OF the brave, determined pioneers
that have conquered the soil, the
water and the elements and made
Blackfoot the thriving little city she
is today. AS | read on and one of
the numbers who had come there
penniless, but few years ago and
and built up such modern homes and
model ranches, my heart swelled
with pride and wanted to cheer and
take off my hat to the western
rancher and his brave, loyal wife.
They have accomplished more, under
greater difficulties, and in less time
than any pioneers that ever forged
their way from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
II was just in the act of laying
the paper carefully away, in order
to read some of the most inspiring |
articles to my husband at the close Of
day, when my eye fell upon the gen.

Mr.. Millick. You may be sure
took the paper up again and began
studying with renewed energy, but
to my CONSERVATION the more /
studied the harder it became to de-
eide which was the best. There were
SO many best ones that had furnished
me with rich food for reflection.
After bordering for several days /
was on the verge of abandoning the
undertaking when the question flash
ed thru my mind, Which would you
like to emulate That was different
proposition and not so difficult to de-
eide, for while all the articles were
good, the description of Mr.. john
sons place in the article entitled,
Profits by Keeping Animals Com
Portable and Happy made me ex-
claim, Don't wish we could be fix
ed like that 1t seemed to a home
steader that such a dream could
never be realized, for there is so
much that should be done all at
once. However, the fact that others
have gone over the same road and 9
won out gives one fresh courage and
