WattersOn Dies At
Hotel In Jacksonville

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 22.--Colone
Henry Watters0n, known TO the Am
erican people as one OF the last sur,
viying members of-the old school OF
journalists, and To his friends as
"Marse Henry died early today at 4
hotel here.
Death came peacefully, the ven
cradle editor retaining consciousness
almost to the end and conversing duI,
ing the last half hour with his wi.G
son and daughter,
Colonel Watterson came TO jack
sonville six weeks ago in accordance
with his annual custom Of spending
the winter in Florida, usually at Fort
Myers. Soon after he arrived here
he was taken III, but for the last few
days an improvement in his condition
seemed noticeable. He contracted Il
slight cold Tuesday and, while seated
in a chair yesterday morning soon
after breakfast, he suffered an acute
bronchial attack and was ordered to-
his bed by his physician. His condi-
tion grew worse during the day and
night and the end came at 6 is
o'clock this morning. The immediate
cause of his death, his physician said,
was heart trouble superinduced by
congestion Of the lungs.
Thus "Marse Henry" passed to
"that beautiful shore" where last
October he wrote his comrades of the
Confederate army he was sure "the
Bonnie Blue flag will be flying at
the fore and the bands will be play
ing Dixie on parade, and the pretty
girls will be distributing The Chat
tanooga Rebel (the newspaper pub
lished by him, during the war between
the statcs), to groups of ragged, rcd
nosed angels who have not forgotten
the rebel yell"
Arrangements for funeral had not
been completed early today, but 1T
was expected the body would be sent
tomorrow to Jeffersontown, KY, the
Watterson home.

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 22.-Henry
Watterson, who died in Jacksonville,
Fla, early today, left Louisville there
weeks ago for his annual pilgrimage
to the South, where for years he had
spent the winter. Apparently he was
in his usual health, which, however,
for several years had not been good.
News of his death was received
with many evidences of grief in Louis
vile, where for more than fifty years
he had been a notable figure. Ap-
parently he faced with calmness he
end of his span of life.
Once, before undergoing an opera
ton, he said to the managing edition
of the Courier-Journal:
II am prepared at any time to
surrender my life to God, who gave
it. We do not know about these
things and | face the outcome with
serenity, whatever it may be. Ii is
a perilous thing for a man in his
10th year to submit to the surgeons,
knife, but | am ready for it and all
that may follow"

Commissioner Barber writes d. M
Palmer, the secretary of the Kootenai
Valley Commercial Club, that he has
arranged for similar meeting at
Standpoint on August Is and also for a
meeting at st. Maries after the Bon
ners Ferry meeting Mr.. Barber states:
I'VE have had splendid success so far
with our plans and are about ready to
file articles of incorporation organic
ing company to take over the direc-
ton of the publicity program covering
a five year period. The men from
North Idaho on the board of directors
will be T. j. Humbird, of Standpoint,
Stanley Easton, of Kellogg, r. G.
Beach, of Lewiston, and w. S. Shearer,
president of the state farm bureau.
They have already selected Hunting
ton Taylor, of Occur d'Alene, as the
North Idaho member of the executive
committee of three which will have
immediate and direct supervision of
the scope of the project we have out
lined"
EARLY in July Commissioner Barber
visited Standpoint and secured the en-
dnrsement of the Standpoint Chamber
of Commerce for the Idaho publicity
project, Standpoint agreeing to raise
$4,000 towards the expenses of the plan
On June the North Idaho Chamber
of Commerce also endorsed the plan
While at Standpoint Mr.. Barber stated
that $4,000 had so far been pledged

must finance the preparation. The
views we are taking will be more than
just scenery. We have a man with us
who was claimed by Underwood &
Underwood as the best photographer
on their staff. We expect to get still
views and moving pictures, both, and
are preparing for all sorts of things"
Saying that 1925 would make Idaho
or forget it, Dr. Fisher said he and
Mr. Barber had gone into the plan
without a cent of expense money and
arrived at place where the start of
financing was demanded. Boise had
pledged $21 900, Moscow $4,000, Lewis
ton $500, Genesee $3.50, and other
places in proportion, said Mr.. Fisher.
Concluding, he said:
I'VE can do what we are setting out
to do. 1t is worth the effort. And
ask you not to forget 1925"
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1921-08-04

in the few communities visited. The
financing, he stated, would be by bonds
of $40 denominations, adding that plat
form work in 1928 and 1924 celebra-
tions and other ventures would make
it possible to retire the bond issue
although there was always the posi-
bility that the bonds would be worth
less or at least worth less than par.
The work of preparation, as out
lined by the commissioner, would be
done in 1921 and 1922. This is to con-
sist largely in a Photographic survey
of the state and the compilation of
complete data on all state industries
and assets, for use in lecture work,
press publicity and similar plans when
the basis of preparation is completed
The platform work, he said. would be
directed by Dr. Fisher on the plan of
the Panama-Pacific exposition in 1915.
for which Dr. Fisher directed the plat
form work from 1912 to 1915.
DR.. Fisher has been accompanying
Commissioner Barber on the trips over
the state in the interests of the pro-
posed publicity plan. He had the fol-
lowing to say regarding what is pro-
posed and the benefits to be derived
1.-THE crucial year in the development
of this country will be 1925. 1t is the
year of the Portland exposition to cell
citrate the completion of the great
transcontinental highways and the at
tention of the United States will be
riveted on the big trunk routes across
America. That year promises us the
first breathing spell since the war and
the procession of cars across the land
will be like the continual traffic on
Broadway.
1.-THE Portland exposition is safe.
Editor Piper of the Oregonian told me
that the board was entirely RESPONSE
BILE and would see it made successful.
The lure of the City of Roses and the
highways leading there will fascinate
the traveller. We, in Idaho, are con-
cerned with how that traveller reaches
his destination.
1.-The traveller to the Panama-Pacific
exposition went over the advertised
highways and railroads, the Lincoln
highway by car and through the Grand
canyon of the Colorado by train. Many
of the big highways traverse Idaho,
and Boomers Ferry is on the route OF
several of them.
You want these people to come
your way to Portland, and by the
plan we have outlined we can reach
! 25, 900 900 of them in two years, 1923
and 1924 We will sell our speakers
to the chautauquas. we will send our
citizens on missions, similar to the
missions of the Mormon church in
plan of operation; we will send am
bassadors to all sections of the United
States, with headquarters in II sec
items and three men to headquarters
One of these will be an advance agent
one of them a speaker and the other 2
movie operator to exhibit the slides IL
Illustrating the lectures. All of this will
be supplemented by a nationwide
press campaign and we will defy the
United States to hide Idaho. at present

nroduction comes to this country.
Suppose that cource Of supply
were shut off. Some will point to
our large stocks OF crude oil In
storage. But do you realize that
the total quantity of crude oil
above ground in this country Is
only about four months supply?
Remember this: In oil we
have either a feast or famine.
We have been having feast. With
four months supply on hand, are
we well fortified against possi-
BILE famine?
First, we must have greater CO.
operation between oil company
managers and employees, with
steadily improving efficiency In
operation.
Second, we must say to the
American public: American oil
men do not seek success by cut
ting the other fellow s throat.
'Third, American oil companies
must work together in obtaining a
firmer foothold III roreign fields,
they must follow a policy of mu-
tual helpfulness in developing for
eign sources Of supply; they must
take effective means of assuring
to their own country an adequate
share of the worlds supply not
merely for few years, but for all
time.
Fourth, the American govern
ment must back up the oil men of
America in every legitimate eff
fort to bring about this lasting as
surance, and,
Fifth the American people
must realize that this cooperative
effort on the part of their govern
ment, of oil corporations and of

Il can say truthfully that a
spirit of cooperation is PEI heating
the American petroleum industry

would have believed possible be-
