Idaho Daily Statesman May 16, 1895
PLYMOUTH COMMITTEE.

Chicagoans Sent Out to Report on William E. Smythe's Enterprise.

A party of prominent Chicagoans, who compose a committee sent out to 
investigate the New Plymouth enterprise which William E. Smythe, of the 
Irrigation Age, and B. P. Shawhan, of Payette, have been working up in the 
past, are in the city.  The party is composed of R. C. Dustan, A. Osterhan, 
Dr. J. B. Burns, G. Scharfhauser, H. A. Edwards, Mrs. Pollock and Mrs. ?ull.  
They are with Mr. Shawhan, who is accompanied by his wife.  The object of 
sending out the committee is to secure a report in confirmation of the 
representations made by Mr. Smythe and Mr. Shawhan.  The committee has been 
in Idaho about a week, having spent most of the time at Payette, near which 
place it is proposed to locate the New Plymouth colony.

The members of the committee hesitate to say anything that would foreshadow 
their report.  However, they state they find everything as represented.

Much depends on the report of this committee.  If it be favorable a colony 
in the neighborhood of 300 families will be located at New Plymouth within a 
short time.  The party expects to leave the city today.
