mercial houses have established new
records Of annual gain-amounting to
millions of dollars.
Bosses manufactures likewise show
q wonderful gain in value and volume
of their business. Boise Is headquarters
for tremendous lumber business and
most of the fancy mill work is done
here for southern Idaho. as well as por-
lions of Wyoming, Utah and Nevada.
The WHOLESALERS from Boise in 1919
were 100 million feet, about 20 per cent
increase over 1918. This product would
load q freight train 45 miles long.
Bosses next largest industry is the
meat business. Boise has the four
largest meat packing plants in the state
and is the only real stock market be:
tween Ogden and Portland. During
the year 1919 these plants killed 1000
hogs, 5000 sheep, 1000 calves and $500
cattle, which was approximately 200
animals more than were killed the year
before.
Another manufacturing business that
has assumed large proportions in Boise,
especially during the last year, Is the
candy trade. One company has or
ganized on a 100000 basis and has
started the erection of large factory
in the wholesale district covering a
quarter of a block.
The increased use of the Boise cleo
trio power and telephone systems has
reached the limit of the companies to
serve and large extensions were made
during the year and more are being
planned for this year.
RESOURCES SCARCELY TOUCHED
notwithstanding the tremendous
growth of Bosses trade and industry
during the past ~ months, her re-
sources have been scarcely touched
and the greatest resource of all Is yet
to be developed. Within a radius of
60 miles of Boise there can and will
be reclaimed more than one and one
fourth million acres of new lands, maxi
ing a total irrigablc acreage within two
hours auto ride of the city, greater than
that cultivated in Switzerland, where
over 5000, 0e0S people live. These new
lands are already served with roads
and public utilities amounting In cost
to approximately $40 per acre for the
entire tract. They contain many hum
bred actual settlers. are the lowest in
elevation and have the best climate OF
any unreclaimed lands in the Snake
nation service has withdrawn for rec
lamation development nearly all the
unsettled portion of these new lands
Boise can help these settlers and the
reclamation service in securing the wa
ter and money for this development by
her sympathy and cooperation That
her new vision, nerve, enthusiasm and
loyalty will put over this development
goes without saying and when that is
done Boise will be a city of more than
100000 population.

Board of Trustees.

Boise is a growing city. There are
SEQ more pupils enrolled in its public
schools now than these were a year
ago. The phesent enrolment is
1886, of which 1907 are enrolled in the
high school and 1919 in the grades.
The problems arising from large unex-
pected increase in enrolment cannot
always be readily and satisfactorily
solved, but to meet such q situation
the board aims TO keep the building re-
quircments and available school rooms
somewhat ahead of the immediate
needs of the district. The new Roose
welt building win cost approximately
100000 and will add eight modern
school rooms to the present equipment.
1t will provide suitable auditorium
for that part of the city. The increase
in the high school enrolment makes it
imperative that the central portion of
the high school be completed at once.
When completed it will add greatly TO
the architectural beauty of the build
ing and will provide additional school
rooms and commodious auditorium
for student assemblies and for com
munity meetings.
The present value of the school prop
erty owned by the district is estimated
at SS64,0 of which $4,000 consists
of grounds and buildings. $4,000 school
equipment ana furniture ana ABOUT
$4,000 of textbooks and library books
and other books and instruction sup
| ply. The district has a bonded in
debtedness of s4S5,000. It's monthly
payroll is over $4,000 and the annual
payroll for teachers, clerical assistance
and 1anitors aggregates about 1885, 900.
The annual disbursements vary with
| the amount of building being done, but
run generally from $250,000 to $500, 900
or more.
| 1t is the constant aim Of the board
, to make the Boise schools an asset
of the community by furnishing educa-
/ tional opportunity of the highest char
acter within the purview of the public
school system. The city is able to
have the best and it is morally respon-
sible to wide territory in this inter-
mountain country to furnish demon
stration of the best that can be worked

LOCAL CIVIC BODY
EXPANDS TOREACH
MORE USEFUL PLANE
New Democratic Principles Of
Selecting Policies Adopted as
1920 Approaches - Big
Things in Prospect.

A great movement to develop new
sources Of initiative by extending its
responsibilities as well as It's privileges
was the outstanding feature of the
years development Of Boise.s civic or
ganization-the Commercial club that
was, the Chamber of Commerce that is.
The close of 1919 found the active
forces of the city engaged in this new
movement for the expansion of civic
initiative through the reorganization Of
the Commercial club into a Chamber of
Commerce.
That the redistribution of RESPONSE
bilitfes among greater number of citi-
zens is popular issue is indicated in
the fact that whereas under the Com
mercial club plan the membership was
625. the membership under the Cham
Der OF Commerce plan is about 1850,
with the list growing daily as the cam
paign progresses. The object is to get
1000 members and the goal is in sight.
WHERE DIFFERENCE -
The essential difference is the old
Commercial club principle OF outlining
a program and the new Chamber OF
Commerce idea lies in the, method OF
deciding what Is to be the program.
In the Commercial club the powers
of deciding civic commercial and de-
velopmept policies were delegated to a
board ofS directors. The Chamber of
Commerce preserves all these powers
to the individual member or at least
places them where he can exercise
them II he chooses.
The important projects of the pro-
gram are divided among groups OF in
dividuals Interested in those projects.
The leader of the respective groups
ascertains through written statements
what the members Of his group think
the most pressing problem or need Of
the city from social, economic and
commercial standpoint.
ADD UP THE IDEAS
These ideas are then transferred to
a board of directors, who from the sum
terest and it is from this basis that
the Chamber of Commerce develops Its
program.
Thus there are groups interested in
railroad development; others interest
ed in obtaining certain kinds of new
industries; others fostering certain
civic mprovements--ande each group is
given an effective method of having
its wishes acted upon.
The fundamental basis OF the new
plan, as stated frequently during the
campaign the last. few weeks. is to
have each economic, social and relig-
ious faction and denomination In the
city representation the broad prin-
ciples of civic righteousness are rec
ognized by the leaders as demanding
concerted support. since the results
hoped to be attained are intended to
be for the benefit of the entire citi-
zenship. sG
This great movement within the civic
organization began late in 1919 and has
extended over into 1920. 1t is at its
height now. What the outcome will be
Is going to be one of the most inter-
esting local matters before the Boise
people in 1920.

By ERN G. EAGLESON
Mayor Of Boise

Boise the beautiful" "City OF OPP
portunity," such are the names that
characterize its happy homes and In
dustrial greatness, as 1t magically beau
titles and grows meath the summer
morning shadow of old Lucky peak. At
that season the golden sun floods the
valley with fragrant blossoms and
warns every living thing into it's ut
most activity and beauty. 1t was at o
time like this in the long ago that the
wee village gained its title Of Boise
the Beautiful" A good thought like a
good deed Is never lost but grows in
effect as time unfolds. Boise has
lived up to its title, and the older and
greater, the more admired 1t Is.
MILD WINTER CLIMATE
Boise's winter climate is also un-.
usually mild and invigorating, all
things considered. in this far northern
latitude. 1t is many degrees warmer
than any other town in the valley or
intermountain country. Here It was
that primitive man gathered in thou
sands for winter comfort and tribal
council. He came from all the higher
lands Of the great Snake river basin.
Boise valley was known as Peaceful
Valley" in the Indian tongue--a place
Of barter and trade. of friendly visiting
and of primitive love making--just the
same human equations tHat are DeiLS
worked out among Boise citizens today.
PEOPLE HAVE VISION
All eminent writer has said, "A con-
siderable part of the greatness Of Cali
fornia is the nerve, enthusiasm and
loyalty of its citizens" Any one who
has visited that state and seen the re-
suits of the application of those human
qualities to the climate, scenery, and
oftentimes meagre resources, naturally
wonders why any people who may be
surrounded by grander scenery, a
healthier climate, and more bountiful
resources, do not always exert to their
utmost power these same vigorous
qualities and to their greater advan-
tage. Boise is now undergoing an
awakening in the organization of a
new Chamber of Commerce that shows
her people have the vision Of q great
city. sWithrSs such Tremendous, ltlpzal
resources at hand 1t Is a certainty that
the peoples ne ne. enthusiasm and 10y

situation seemed SO favorable and new
