Wichita eagle., 1890-01-21

Ization, representing your county, and
instruct said director to be prepared tt
meet all the other directors in the state
at Kansas CITY, to consult with the rail
roads, at a date that the secretary shall
notify you of and perfect arrangements
with the railroads to carry into effect
the work in this movement and, also tC
harmonic the work throughout the
state.
| For your further information I will
say that there are over eighty coun-
ties out of the one hundred and six in
| the state that are now embraced in this
work who have formally organized and
appointed their directors, and no time
should be lost by counties not organized
Tor spring excursions must very soon be
arranged for; and further, the expense of
each county for the maintenance of the
state bureau is so small that it can be
raised at intervals without any county
feeling or knowing it. 1t will be done
IN the shape Of a request from the exc
cutlve board of the bureau when needed
for the actual running expenses of the
executive department and will entail no
debt or levy on the counties. OF course
your local expense will be governed bv
yourselves. All the advertising matter
you may see fit to furnish for your
county will be distributed free in the
east If you are embraced in the state
work. and feature of the method en-
dorsed by the state convention and
which has been so successfully operated
IN other states and which we adopt in a
measure IS this: that each county have
one OF their papers devote an entire
OF
matter as will be an exposition in
fact of your county and intended to
stimulate immigration and bring people
to Kansas. and that 1000 copies of said
paper be furnished the Kansas Immigra-
ton Bureau for distribution, reserving as
many for your own distribution as you
may desire. and doing all the other ad-
vertising you may deem best. By this
means it will be seen that the bureau
will have once or twice a month at least
one-half million copies of fresh mat
ter, written by at least one hundred diff
ferent writers from all parts of the state,
to distribute in the east at the least pos
sible cost.
Organize and send the name of your
director to the secretary.
HALE CowLEY,
Sec. Kan. immigration Bureau.
