B. P. SHAWHAN, PRESIDENT COMMERCIAL CLUB.

No man in the Payette Valley has, perhaps, done as much to stimulate the 
unfolding of its amazing resources during the past 13 years, who was actuated 
by as patriotic and disinterested motives as B. P. Shawham.  He came to Idaho 
for the purpose of building the Farmers’ Cooperative Ditch, and he brought the 
capital to do it with.  He is the father of the New Plymouth Colony, and he 
laid it out and managed it for several years. 

Mr. Shawhan was a popular candidate for governor in 1896.  During 1898 and 1899 
he lived in far away Dawson.  Mr. Shawhan is the organizer and present 
president of the Commercial Club, and a citizen of enterprise, refinement and 
culture, who would be an ornament to any community or society.
