Lead In Advertising the state.

The bonanza mines of TIRE Klondise and
the bonanza wheat crop OF Eastern
Washington have combined TO fix the at
tention of people throughout the country
on this state and the tide OF imraiSra-
ton and investment which was checked
five years ago has again set In WITH M
creased force. This is the unanimous opin-
ion Of railroad men and members or the
advertising committee OF the Chamber OF
Commerce. who have had exceptional OPP
por,un;ties to observe the growth Of the
movement in this direction. These gentle
men all agree that the people OF Seattle
should take the lead In the publication OF
the desired information on the resources
and wealth of Washington as q whose.

lieye the state would be greatly benefited
by a publication showing UP the resources.
The eyes OF the world have been attract
ed to Washington through the Alaskan
discoveries, and from what I have learned
and heard believe a great rush will be
made after the first treasure ship has ar
rived. Many Of these people viii no doubt
visit the state for purposes OF Investment,
and with reliable Information at their COM
mand will, know Just where to place their
money. The state. and Seattle In particu-
.ar. has been extensively advertised, and
far one believe in keeping up the good
work.

The land sales OF the Northern Pacific
