Senator Carl Brown OF Mccall was
in Caldwell "Wednesday visiting busi-
ness men and arousing interest in the
carnival.
we believe we are going to put
on the greatest show OF its kind ever
offered in the intermountain country.
said the senator People living in
this section Of the state are OF course
familiar with the beauties OF R.ayetie
Lakes in summer.
Few. however. have seen them in
their winter garb. The ride through
the canyon OF Payette river is alone
worth the cost OF the trip and the time
involved in making it.
The ice gorges. the great pines
bending under their mantles OF snow,
the lakes. frozen to thickness of more
than fourteen inches. all combine in
scenes OF changing beauty that will
never be forgotten by the beholders.
Snow conditions at Mccall are
ideal for sports OF the kind proposed.
While there is little snow, compare
lively. in the Cascade section. we at
Mccall live in a snow belt where the /
fall is always heavy and where it re-
mains until the breakup late in the |
spring.
No one need hesitate about COM
ing to our carnival through fear that
there vii not be snow in abundance.
"And it is going to be easy to
make the trip with every possible
comfort a train OF Pullman cars will
start from Boise at $50 on Thursday
