TO GATHER PEOPLE

What is mostly wanted just now in
Fairhaven is people. 1t is plain enough
that We have all the resources necessary
for great city, and while the population
Is very large considering the youth Of the
place, the ancient adage 'the more the
, merriern hts her like new kid glove.
Every citizen who has a friend whom he
desires to befriend should send him some
Fairhaven explanatory literature. the
chamber of commerce pamphlets, news
papers containing articles concerning
Fsirhaven's prospects and surroundings.
In short, every citizen should make him
self an immigration committee of one.

The day will undoubtedly come when
Fairhaven will be grand and glorious
city. with every metropolitan character

ture. but under the most favorable cir

writer saw Kansas City grow from &
steamboat landing which was an adjunct
toa village a few miles in the interior, g
be a city Of 32.OO inhabitants within Nv,
years, and. although that has been only
about twenty years ago, Kansas City is
today a city Of more than 20o,0O people
and the village for which it was originally
the landing has been swallowed up within
Kansas City's corporate limits. Sine,
Kansas City took her great START IN,
cities Of Omaha and Denver. with NOR,
than 10000 each, have grown up. and
here in our neighborhood Tacoma ha,
grown to nearly 1000 within less thar
ten years, and Seattle in few year;
more Of time has gained a population
which is very great for even that length
OF time.
But neither Seattle. Tacoma. Denver
Omaha, Kansas city or even Chicago
have the natural advantages Of Fair
haven. yet none OF them cease for a
moment in the manipulation of every
conceivable project for the advancement
Of the city. and especially the increase o.
population. Here. with our wonderful
deposits Of coal and iron of the finest
quality, and sufficient TO supply the world
for century: with our inexhaustibe and
splendid timber; with our commercial
advantages; with our salubrious and in
MIGRATING climate; with our grand a,d
imposing scenery; with the opportuni-
ties for boating, fishing hunting; WITH in
short. every conceivable advantage and a
vast surrounding country where land i,
fertile, cheap and beautifully situated
nothing in praise can be said which would
exhaust the truth. and these facts should
he sent broadcast throughout the civilized
world. to the end that in a little time ia,
present citizens Of Fairhaycn may see th,
place great and delightful mpjropoli
which will make pleasant the rnmIni-
Cences of oIr pioneer DAYS.
