The Boise and Payette valley peo
ple for several month had a ' mov
Ant picture show traveling- In the mid
dle western states, showing the re
aources of their country. It follows
very large gathering. For Instance,
this week It is In evidence at a corn
how In Iowa. Lent week It was at
Omaha, It Is very effective Bdvertln
Ing and Is doing much to attract u
great deal of - attention, not only to
southern Idaho, b'jt the entire north-vwest.-'
One scene will show a lurge
ili'Hulnte MHgebruHh district with noth
ing to even miffgent either the possi
bility of u home or commercial aetlvl;
y. The next scene will be less than
JO years Inter with several cities of
from 4000 to 6000 Inhabitants, with
branch railroad running, power lines
running across the couii'ry along coun
ty roads dotted with f-.i't and alfalfi
iarms and sheep an! cattle feeding
bout numerous huyMt cks. The.ie
pictures are not overdrawn; they are
typical of the seen" the parsengers oil
very train witness dnll;'.; Water . hrs
worked there aim "t miracles. Wlth
la the next few yea'-s hero will be no
Jess than 200,000 pejpia Shlng In these
two valleys more thai It now In the
entire state of Idio.
The city council is now cr.isnieiinis
two phases of the near beer problem.
A petition Is before them asking that
an ordinance be enacted prohibiting
the sale of all malt products. The rea
aon for this Is apparent tos all. We
have places In this city who are known
to sell almost anything contained on
.'.anal HmiA. mnmi unflnl thA ffUlfte
IIIV ,"',".' - "
of near beer or some similar malt pro
duct. Other cities in dry districts hav,
.been compelled to prohllbt their sale
And many people In this city are of the
opinion that it IS necessary nere.
Mayor Hall has been making some In
vestigation and at the last meeting of
the council presented to trie council
for consideration, a copy of the Pen
dleton ordinance which licenses the
sale of near beer, and this ordinance
ts now In the hands of a coram leetto
Is now In the hands of a committee of
the council which will no doubt report
at the next meeting. Some of the
councllmen favor licensing, but with
a number of restrictions such as pro
hibiting minors from such resort.
This may or It may not reach the de
aired end, the chances are not, but I
will be a decided Improvement over
present conditions.
As usuul the first few cold or really
winter blustery dsys we will all forget
what a delightful summer and full
and so fur, winter wo have enjoyed
There Is ample ttm yet for a great
deal of falling weather and It Is to be
hoped that it Will arrlvv on schedule
time. Just remember, however, nil
these bright sunny days we Imve had
' and do not permit yourself to com
mence knoeklng at the weather the
first time It r.ilns. shows or freezes. I.
these things did not come w woul !
none of us be here. The filets are It

to tills ve.lley t.i have one ood ill .

would then nwrei Lite the ntm- xt
v liter anil 20. nun lu res could be r;iised
In 20 days, and then those under the
.'lieh would not worry about the rain
t snowfall, they would Wn.'w that
they were secure.
There Is every leon to believe that
If the president and congress really
begin the Investigation of the workings
of the secret servlee rslstlve te UK-
Bets of certain senators and congr44
men, we may enpect several Interest
ing messages froiu tha cxe'.-ulive do--Ing

There la no question but what 10,
000 ucres on the south side of the river
enn be secured for the Irrigation pro
ject. This will extend to Catherine
crek and will ' mean th subdivision
of these present large holdings and
will be no small factor In securing an
electric- road across the valley. Irri
gation makes many things possible
that otherwise Is not.
