Joe’s Idaho dam scheme and political ascent
A long, rambling reminiscence traces Joe’s rise from mining exchanges to leading dam and electric plant ventures in Idaho. It notes his charisma, a lucrative stake in a large Snake River project, and his growing influence in Idaho politics after marrying the state’s cleverest woman. The piece hints at future prominence, even a possible U S Senate run, framed in a boastful Colorado to Idaho tale.
