ADVICE IRuN BOSTON TO WASHINGTON.
Hon n II Owings, State Senator
from Thurston county, has just re-
turned from an extended visit in New
England
d" ! tell you It is blessed good thing"
said hc the other day. that Washing
ton i going Ia make good showing
at the Worlds Fair. While in Boston
! took occasion to talk my best for
Washington all the time. especially
talked IN favor Of the Nicaraguan
canal aud showed what immense ben
ciits would accrue To their own indus
tries ~ well "a to our State and the
Pacific Coast generally.
" It's no use, sal friend one day,
" these people won't believe all you
tell them. Why came home from
Puget Sound not long ago, and
though enjoyed a reputation for
hont-ty aud conservatism before I
went away, they are all too prone to
think | am romancing when | tell of
thc wonders | saw ont West. Now
tell yuu what you should do. These
people cant 90 out TO Washington
but many Of them are going TO visit
thc Worlds Fair. They will meet
yon half way You should bring all
OF the state that YOU can spare for ex-
hihtIon at the Fair They will be-
lieyc when they can see"
This strikes me as the most sensi.
hlo proposition about our State that
heard from any of those very conserva-
tive New Englanders. hope the
Washington Worlds Fair Commission
will carry out my Boston friends ad-
Vice as nsarly to the letter as possi-
hlc."
