The Governor of Idaho learn

Director of the United States
office of Pablio Roads Inquiries;

Idaho about Jane 8 insU put
himself in communication with
them. The Governor oelicit
ed the attention, of these coun
try roads inaW,snd assuring
them that the people of Idaho
are heartily in sympathy with
the good road movement
these distinguished, men cheer
fully acceded to his request, and
agreed to halt and bold a two
days Good Road Convention at
Boise City on June 9ih and 10.
On May 29 the Governor is
sued a proclamation requesting

Our neighbor, Idaho seems
to be taking a lively interest in
road making. List week the
state road commission appro
priated 7925,000 to make two
roads which will cost $00,000,
the people interested iu these
roads having - pledged the re
maining $35,000.
. The snap which Idaho evin
ces in getting out of the old ruts
in road making, and other
matters explains, why Idaho is
developing so rapidly as to sur
prise person, who in the long
ago rode over that region and
gladly left it a a land that seem
ed eternally devoted to sage
brueh, coyotes, desolate' moun
tains and thirsty plains. Idaho
is a much younger stale ,thsn
Oregon, from which it was
carved, with 10,000 Jess square
miles of land sorfaoe and as the
pioneers saw it not one-tenth
of the productive land in Oregon
and not . much if any ; betteij
miner; yet the cold fact is that
as state it is relatively grow
ing raster. 111 population - than
Oregon The per cent of in
"reare in population in Idaho
from 1890 to 1900 was 82.7 per
fhile the increase in Oregon for

the decade, 1890 to 1900. ' added
73,224 to its i population and

larger than Idaho by' 10,270

Oregon to wake up.
