CONCLUSIONS. 



First: The lands proposed to be irrigated adja- 

 cent to Lewiston are of the best quality and undoubted 

 fertility, sloping favorably for irrigation and drainage, 



TRUSTS NOT AFRAID. 



My name is Trusts; I'm big and stout; 

 And, though I'm often talked about, 

 It makes me laugh- most every day 

 To hear what people have to say. 

 I squeeze them here and pinch them there ; 

 I drive them almost to despair; 

 Yet all their scolding does no harm ; 

 There's nothing causes me alarm, 

 For talk is cheap. 



In Congress, too, 'tis often said 

 That some one soon will get my head; 

 But well I know that I control 

 Both House and Senate, as a whole. 

 They talk against me, but, you see, 

 They always legislate for me; 

 So I can laugh while people scold, 

 For 'tis a proverb true and old 

 That talk is cheap.

and will justify the necessary expenditure for devel- 

 opment of water that may be needed. 



Second: The power available from the constant 

 flow, if dropped at the head of the Vollmer ditch, is 

 an asset of considerable value to the system and worth 

 development at an early period, as the fall available 

 is about 1,236 feet. 



Third: The enterprise is entirely feasible and 

 worthy of the fullest investigation and study. 



ORGANIZATION. 



The Lewiston-Waha Land, Water & Power Com- 

 pany is organized under the laws of Idaho with a 

 capital of $1,200,000 and has the following officers : 



President, Harry L. Irwin; vice-president, James 

 G. Trainer; A. G. Bagley, secretary; John P. Volmer, 

 treasurer. 



Directors Hon. Fred T. Dubois, United States 

 Senator; Henry Heitfeld, L. A. Porter, Harry L. Ir- 

 win, J. G. Trainer. 



The officers of the company are at Lewiston, Idaho, 

 and 218 La Salle street, Chicago, 111. 



But should there ever come a day 

 When people watch, as well as pray; 

 When votes are cast with purpose true-; 

 When deeds are many, words are few; 

 When men for righteousness are bold, 

 And truth is valued more than gold, 

 I'll laugh no more, for I shall know 

 The- time has come for me to go, 

 Though talk is cheap.
