The time is fast approaching when
the Northwestern Industrial Exposi-
ton of Spokane Falls will be thrown
open to the world. Scarcely three
weeks remain when the vast resources
and unsurpassed advantages of this
section of country will be viewed by
thousands upon thousands of strangers.
Within the spacious halls of the
magnificent building the eastern and
western man will gaze with admira-
ton and establishment upon the vast
development and great prosperity of
the Pacific Northwest. The impress
sions they receive will be carried to
their homes and will form the topic
of conversation among their friends
and acquaintances. Those who visit
the exposition represent large num-
ber of people. Of those who avail
themselves of this opportunity to visit
the northwest, the majority do 80 with
the purpose of investigating the pos
sibilities and the future of these states.
The inquiries that are daily received
at the Office of G. w. Robinson show
beyond a doubt thata large number
Of people desire to locate here. From
forty to sixty each day contain the
same questions as to the desirability

in every sphere of life; the pros
poets, the climate, the price of land
and the extent of crops. 1t will
therefore be seen that it is of the ut
most importance that the resources
and products of this section Of the

the exposition will be guided in their
determination as to permanently lo-
eating in any section of the country
simply by what they see at the ex-
position.
