SOU!« MHO
IS BEST IN WEST
SAYS MAJOR REED
In Traveling 13,000 Miles
He Has Found Nothing to
Equal the Great Snake
River Valley.
The great Snake river valley com
pares favorably with the best sections
of the west and In many ways is much
superior to any of them. This is the
opinion of Major Fred R. Reed, former
state commissioner of immigration and
labor who is In Boise today and will
remain here a couple of weeks on busi
ness nutters. He makes the compari
son after traveling over 13,000 miles
during which he has visited every see
lion i>f the west of importance. He!
says he is satisfied to return to the]
state jof his adoption and from now on
will remain here.
"Those of us who reside in southern
Idaho and hav e our interests here, need
not flear but that our country can
compare 'with any other section," said
Major Reed today. "J have traveled
and ha e hud occasion to see the boast
ed spots of the west during the past
year. I tell you now that we have as
tine and as rich a country as can be
found out of doors. Hun t make any
mista|ke about that or let someone else
I ell ybu that he knows of a better ter
ritory.
"Southern Idaho Is coming Into Its
own. Take it from St. Anthony to
Weiser and it is all the same. Idaho
Falls,] Blackfoot, Pocatello, Twin Fulls,
American Falls, Burley, Gooding, Sho
shone, Buhl and in fuel all of the cities
and towns of this section are develop
ing tj> such an extent that it is proof
of what I say. Better times are uh'ead
for southern Idaho. It is going to grow
and tjo prosper.
"Personally 1 am glad to he hack
and ajlacl lo be able, to do ms share of
assisting in making il the ideal place
In which lo live, to assist in develop
ing t and to make it prosperous.
Southern Idaho looks pretty good to
me and it would to anyone else who
will jake the trouble lo travel about
und look over other sections. I pro
pose to boost it stronger in the future
than I liavo In the past, and no one so
far has accused me of not being a
booster."
