Idaho Woolgrowers Back Pocatello Bid For National Meet
At the Idaho Woolgrowers convention in Pocatello the delegation was instructed to vote for Pocatello as the site of the 1909 National Woolgrowers convention. Resolutions protested federal forest administration, urged quarantine reinstatement for Idaho sheep, and opposed leasing public lands for grazing. Peter Johnston of Blackfoot spoke against Roosevelt’s grazing policy, and 38 delegates were elected to attend the Helena convention by special train.

Bridge Initiative Moves to Span Snake River
An informal Commercial club meeting at Bannock hotel last night approved constructing the Tilden bridge to connect Pocatello with lands across the Snake River. Officials expect half the $16,000 cost from Bingham county and the other half from Pocatello interests. A signatory list and committee were formed to secure remaining funds and arrange county road work, with further actions to gain county commissioners’ backing and to place Helena delegates for the National Woolgrowers’ convention.
