chaser, and has not disposed of the
same, the person whose estate has

IMMENSE IMMIGRATION.
What President MOhler Thinks
OF the Outlook for the
Northwest.

REVIEW.
President Mohler of the O. II. &
N. company has returned from
New York, evidently pleased with
the outcome of the conference he
had with President Mellen of the
Northern Pacific, when the two
agreed to disagree. He has come
back to start something, and in
Inmates his company is to plunge
into construction work this sum-
mer on a considerable scale.
II am not talking on this trip"
said he yesterday in his private car
in the Union depot yards. eff
one proposes to do something it is
not wise for him to advertise it,
and in this particular instance a
great deal depends on not making
public all our intentions prema-
turely."
"The builders Of paper railroads
have constructed IA line for you
from Moscow to the Clearwater.
Are you going to back them up
and really construct line?'
Eyes, / think we shall have to
build something" said the presi-
dent with smile. ave are going
to do some building, but l cannot
say exactly what it will be. Don't
understand that / mean we will
certainly build any particular line,
but some line.
IMMIGRATION Is GROWING.
The immigration movement is
continuing" continued President
Mohler. ~ see no sign of it let
ting up, but it seems to be growing
stronger all the time. The coun-
try is being settled at remarkable
rate. This summer l think we
shall see an immense immigration.
Where is it coming from? The
Mississippi valley for the most part.
1t is the younger generation NOV
ing westward, as their fathers be-
fore them moved from the Atlantic
coast. They come looking for
wider opportunities and better and
cheaper land than can be secured
in the more settled sections.
Gin New York City there is a
great deal of activity in financial
circles. Money is plenty and COM
paratively cheap. Capitalists are
looking with a great deal of favor
upon the Pacific northwestern
states. There has been no legisla-
ton calculated to brighten them
away, and they are coming to an
understanding that the opportuni-
ties offered here for investment are
of the best. l think l am safe in
saying that that there can be had
any amount of money at a CHEAP
rate in New York, for legitimate
development in this section of the
country. This region needs money
and people. 1t has everything
else. Money and people now ap,
pear to be coming to it in con.
stantly increasing stream"
