In 1859 gold was discovered in
the Pierce City region and by the
autumn of 1862 there were 10000
persons near Lewiston. A greater
discovery followed in the Boise
basin, and within year Idaho City
had population estimated at near
10000. At the census of 1870, only
$1,000 remained of the swarm of
miners of the early SOS; but 200
million dollars in gold had been
taken out of Idaho - the greatest
record in history for a similar pc
Rod of time.
It was the Mormons who founded
Idaho's first permanent settlement
in 1860. They believed they were in
Utah when they called their village
Franklin and made irrigation fact
in Idaho by building canal three
and a half miles long. They also
established that year the first
school for white children within the
present bounc aries of the state.
Agriculture made little Roadway,
however, for the feverish indus

for mineral treasures continued. Al
though the Idaho territory was
created in 1868, more lusty years
were to follow. Rich gold strikes
were made in the Salmon River

Rats Were Menace
To Citys Health

Some time ago l had occasion to
mention the invasion of Washington
by rats and how the city hired
modern Pied Piper who has done an
effective, if silent, job. This was
brought to my mind recently when
I encountered fat, black cat on my
way to work early one morning.
The cat had a guilty look, and had

riotous living and was merely
sneaking in to change his collar.
However, the cataclysm caused by
the rat-invasion in which, believe it
or not, baby's hand was eaten,
brought hasty action and l see that
it was considered worthy of COM
ment by experts, including the edi-
tors of the magazine of the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History.
The campaign began when a case
of typhus which is spread by fieas
and mites on rats, was discovered.
Traps set in the neighborhood
caught number of rats whose
blood was typhus-infected. The
United States Public Health service
got busy, shocked to learn that the
scourge of Europe two centuries ago
was possibility right here in our

when the People
Vote, They Win

The June Economic Outlook"
published by the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations, contains an ar
ticle entitled "When the People Vote
They Win" That might be in

The article points out that an "off

not only because the presidency is
not at stake, but because the poll
ticians know that general apathy on
the part of the voter has marked
those elections in the past: 1898 (off)
thirty million voters went to the
polls; (l940 (on) fifty million votes;
1912 (off) twenty-eight million; 1914
(on) forty-eight million.
The CLIO takes the attitude that
what the people as a whole want is
what they (the CIO) want, and that
the people get what they want when
they vote for it. They say: MASS
registration and mass voting is the
best guarantee of liberal progress
sive government"
They might also add that if you
want conservative rather than lib
eTal progressive government, you
have to vote for it, too. In any
case you can't get what you want un-

Democratic vote. Districts which
swung from Democratic to Repub-
lican candidates in most cases shift
ed with decrease in the total vote
. "the Republican vote remain

Does this prove that Democrats
are sleepier than Republicans, or
that the Republican is a creature of

Only recently has Idaho come into
prominence as a playground and
recreation spot for people who are
weary of make-believe life in cities.
1t offers year-around skiing, hunt
ing, fishing, swimming, boating and
other sports. Pheasants, ducks and
geese are plentiful. There are ante
lope, deer, elk and other big game
in abundance to assure the sports
man of his kill. From dog races at
Ashton when the snow is deep, to
summer boating on Payette lakes
or fishing in Pend d'Orielle, no other
state exceeds Idaho in sports of the
great outdoors.
New York capitalists and Holly
wood movie stars have found in Sun
Valley in the Sawtooth Mountains
one of the worlds finest recreation
spots. In winter, skiing is the out
standing sport, with tobogganing
and big game hunting following. In

woods in the Stanley Basin afford
boating, fishing, riding, hiking and
camping.
Idaho is state of mountains, val
leys and deserts, with variety
enough for everyone. The mountain
ranges include Cabinet, Occur
