The idea of the erection OF a sta

the United States appeals to me very
strongly. It will stand for all time
as a monument to those brave men
who died for civilization on the bat

show the world that we appreciate
the efforts of France during the late
war and that we appreciate the fact
that the people of France gave US the
Statue of Liberty.
AS Is generally known, the people
Of France during the eighties raised
by popular subscription a fund of
$25O,OOO.00 and gave US the Statue
OF Liberty that now stands in New

butte this amount when all other
states OF the Union are contributing,
not only we. but our children, would
regret 1t, and the same can be said
OF any county in the state which

LET'S DO 1T OURSELVES


The big idea is born that we
have waited too long for George" dc
1t. and that, If we want to get any
where with RECLAMATION, we have
got to pull off our coats, roll UP
our sleeves and say, Lets US Dc
IT."
The Idaho Reclamation association
is now year old. Realizing on the
start that the only way to be of
practical service to the citizens OF
Idaho was to arouse their interest
in this vitality important subject, rec
lamation, the association has labored
earnestly and systematically with
that end as the goal of its endeavors.
The seed has not been sown in
barren ground, and today there is
evidence of thoughtful earnestness
and determination in all communities
both large and small, to do some
thing to help themselves, and it is
this idea, whipped into practical
shape and organized, that will be our
salvation and success.
When a great idea, such as Great
ing a wedding of.land and water for
the upbuilding Of our country and the
prosperity of all, becomes fixed in
the minds of all the thinking people,
WE WIN-always have and AL
WAYS WILL.
BY the united efforts of the COM
munity, the county. and the state,
practically organized, and eliminat-
ing every factor except the big idea,
the united people. working on sol
righteous cause as reclamation,
must win.
This is what the Idaho Reclama,
tion association is going to accom-
plish.
