HISTORY OF IDAHO
CONCLUSION
Commencing with the earliest known events affecting the future of the great state whose history has been by careful and strenuous endeavor sought to be traced, it is proper to close this narrative with a reference to the legislative act creating the "Governor's Cabinet," and the commencement of their duties ; the most important change ever made in the governmental affairs of the state, and to hope that the historian of the future will trace as the result of this new de- parture a long continued prosperity which will make the great advancements of the past seem the veriest trifles when compared with the stupendous betterments of the future. So believing and so desiring the editor most fervently hopes that from its pages some accurate knowledge may be gained that will inspire them to ever renewed efforts for the future advancement and greater prosperity of "The Gem of the Mountains."
