The immigration association 81 n.
Wichita Falls country is doing good wo,s
for this section. The country tributa-v
to Wichita Falls, which includes Arcba-
Baylor, Knox, Haskell, Thr0ckmorto-
and good portion of Young and Ca7
counties, is securing actual settlers GaiIy
through the work done by the Immigrl.
ton ASSOCIATION of this place. Tb,
county, having made an average NJ
twenty-five bushels of wheat 10 the ae--
this and last year, and this fact beir,
advertised by the people here no doul,
accounts for the rush of settlers to tbs
section. Everybody takes a hand in IT,
immigration work here and the counrr
officials, the city officers, the bank
officers, the merchants, tine tradesmea,
the laborers, all contribute their mite %
the general fund and take an interest il
the work. The association en-
ploys 81 man to represent and a.
tend to the work of advertisiu.
correspondence, etc. and the result j.
that the advantages OF this section arE
made known 20 those in serrch of homes,
and the best evidence that can be gi75l
that it
PAYS TO ADVERTISE
is the fact that over two hundred th0g-
sand dollars worth of real estate h-;
changed hands here in the past tTl
weeks. At least 20 per cent. Of the sai4
have been made to actual settlers, aujl
large per cent. of those are now on The
ground improving the land, ba-k
ing houses, fences, etc, while othA
have returned home for their famdie
and will be citizens of this county in tis
next few weeks. Krump 4 Newly, Th3

Messrs. Cawfield s. Kran who har;

have located several families
from Collin and Dallas COUNTS,
Brothers s. Joline, the Tarrant COUNT
school representatives, have done q
''land office" business during the past
few days in locating homeseekers troL
the "Black Wake Belt. The fact
all the land men here are kept busy az
if all the counties IN the state were o.
ganized as this is for immigration Wo'1'
and advertised their respective counue'
in the old states as this has, the unoeeu'
pied land of the state would soon
be settled by a good class Of farmers L
advertising this county the statements
made as to crops, climate, water, pEI''
of land, terms of sale, etc, are gi's-
over the signatures of the county ON
cials. This is as it should be, ana II 'H
state had an immigration assoclauvI
which it should have, the printed lnlOl,
nation sent out should have dttaehs-
the signatures of the state onclA'
that of the governor, land cOmmlssloa'
