THEY WANT TO COME.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The following letters are samples of
those that are coming into this office by
the clothes basket full, which is the
strongest evidence that the loss of immi-
grafton to Kansas the past two years is
due to lack of information, which is
always requisite TO influence an intelli-
gent person to take as important a step
as changing their home. Every
| newspaper in Kansas should have their
people collect the name of every person
they know of in the east that is likely to
| want to better their condition, and send
this list to the State Bureau, that infor-
nation and fresh Kansas fruit may be
sent to them from this office every week.
We shall soon have 100000 copies of
pamphlets, books and papers a week to
send east. We have arrangements to
distribu. them free. Now this is work.
This is b. siness, and 1t will bring one
half million people into Kansas within
fifteen months.
Anybody that will visit the Kansas
Immigration bureau office for one half
day and read the appeals that come in
pie hungry for reliable matter about
Kansas, will certainly think that
goodly portion of the whole east Is look
visit these offices fifteen days from now
will see ton of printed matter leaving
here daily. Come again in thirty days
and YOU will see some real live lmmi-
grants. A little later every organized
e.
Immigration will have hundreds of new
people looking them over for homes.
The fair weather flag of prosperity is
out. The wave is coming. Every mail
increases and increases the favorable
winds and keep up the tidal wave for
Kansas.
We cannot stop it now. 1t has been
ordained, decreed and set on foot. Get
ready for it, every one. Send in your
mail lists anybody, everybody, of peo-
pie. You that may want to read about
Kansas, send your lists to this office Let
every paper in the state send thousand
copies of good Kansas matter, relative
to their county at least once month to
this Office for eastern distribution. The
people III the east are asking for it. Per-
haps they think we haven't got any
new pap III Ndi1SdS OI ANY SOOu
ing matter that we dare send them. They
will be astonished when they get your
paper. They have never heard of a
country one-half as good as this. Some
of their communications say that if
Kansas is one-half as good as / have
written them it is, that it will satisfy
them. The fact is, do not have time
to write them one-fourth the real facts.
One man writes: u can bring two
hundred families, all Of whom have
money to buy property and farms.
Think of it. Wanting to come here.
Waiting to come here with money to
buy good farms and property. Then
think OF the sights we can show them:
endless acres of grain, unmeasured cribs
and barns of wheat, seas of salt, for
tunes in sugar. hogs and cattle upon
every farm, products so prodigious
that every loaded car quivers under its
ovestaxed capacity. Every railroad in
the state will be burdened TO its utmost
in Its ceaseleSs tread aud endless tails of
teams that cannot even haul one crop
out of the state before another crop more
wonderful than this viii be upon Us.
These are realities.
Everybody help push. Everybody
send mail list. Every county send pa
pers. Every county contribute to the
state book. HALE COwLEY.
Sec. Kansas migration Bureau.
