"Idaho, the I And of Contentment," Is
the title of a little conversational preach
ment which M. A. Camp, finmclal agent
of the Children's Honie-Flmllng society of
Boise, delights In repeating with all ot the
true western enthusiasm for hi3 adopted
country. Mr. Camp, a guest at tho Hotel
Loyal, spent yesterday In Omaha on his
way home from a visit to his old home In
Toronto.
"Never have I seen a more satisfied peo
ple than the members of our agricultural
class," remarked Mr. Camp. "The people
who a few years ago came out to Idaho
are now declaring never to return. They
have found material prosperity and the
joy of life In a most nearly perfect coun
try. "Development, particularly In connection
with the fruit industry. Is moving along
rapidly. We expect the showing to be
made by southern Idaho at the Pmaha
Land show to have a big influence In
bringing In a large number of desirable
settlers. It Is a country of real oppor
tunity for the right sort of man.
"Boll once held to be a success only for
the production of sage brush Is now grow
ing apples worth $1,000 for the crop of
each acre. I recall right now, for Instanoe,
one apple grower who sold the yield of
fifty acres for 171, M10. Our apples all go
to the east. New York gets the best of
them. Many big orchard projects are be
ing pushed forward. J. II. Lowell of H -well
Is handling a project which Includes
t.OOO acres of fruit land. All this will be
put under Irrigation. Then at Weiser the
Sunnyslde company has another big trnc.t.
Numerous land companies are at work

tain snows. A little artesian water Is to
be had. We are at the point now where
conservation of the water supply Is neces
sary. This d'es not mean that there is
not plenty of water, but rather that waste
must be eliminated and reservoirs built
to aid In the economic distribution of the
supply. Most of the Irrigation Is by grav
ity. Uttle pumping Is necessary.
"Railroad development Is at onr a re
sult of and a factor In the prosperity of
our section. The Oregon Short Line hai

Then there Is another rond project d from
Welser northvvaid. It la known on puprr
aa the Payette ft Idaho Northern. This
Is eald to he a Hiirrlman system project,
although little la known of the actual
status of the proposed line.
"There Is no Idleness out our way. The
big Irrigation projects now being put Into
material form and the numerous new en
terprises offer plenty of opportunity for
profitable employment for labor. The
workman gels from 2.h0 to $6 a day. ac
cording (o his ability and the nature of his
work."
Mr. Camp's Institution, the Children's
Homo-Finding society, occupies a hand
some pew building In Boise. The site alqna,
an entire city block. Is valued at fia.OOO.
while th- building cost 140,000.
"As might be expected In such a pros
perous country." said Mr. Camp, "our
charitable Institutions are not overworked
and they aja well supported. Most of our
chsrges come from the families of Indus
trial misfits who have floated Into the
new country without proper equipment or
preparation for conditions. H Is my ob
servation that Ignorance and 111 prepara
tion for life's activities Is the principal
cause of poverty and need. We hear a
great deal about the drink habit and kin
dred evils, but I note that It Is the man
who does not know how to do anything
