TO DRUM UP SETTLERS.
Novel Plan Proposed by the Harri-
man Railway Syndicate.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Record-Herald
tomorrow will say: "A novel plan for
settling the lands in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, California and other Western States
tributary to the lines of the Hartman
syndicate is being worked out by the Of
ficers of these railroads. The officials of
the systems in the Hartman syndicate
have determined to carry on progressive
campaign of competition against the Nor
gan-Hill lines not only in going after traf-
fc but i'm colonizing land that will insure
future business for the companies. par
tcularly in Washington, Idaho and ore
gon. 1t is intended to start the campaign
by inducing immigration TO take land along
the lines of the combination in the States
named. a new method is to be used to in
fiuence this settlement. The Hartman
syndicate through the officers of the diff
ferent roads, have engaged corps of lee
turers who will travel over the East and
central West giving free lectures on the
advantages of settlement in the West and
Northwest These lecturers will illustrate
their talks with stereOpticon and moving
pictures. The photographs will show the
land offered for sale and the development
of the country. They Will show the prod
Ucts, the railroad, water facilities and
everything else that tend to induce movers
from older regions of the country to the
promised lands. In addition to the lectures
the entire United States and Europe are
to be flooded with tons of literature bear
ing on the advantages of the great North
west. The syndicate will establish gem
eral agencies in London, Paris. Hamburg
and Genoa, Italy, and other points from
which to work business. These plans will
be fortified by unusually low rates during
the proper seasons for prospective settlers
to visit the points along the lines.

Soft Snow of Yesterday Hid Icy Spots

Horses and Trains.

Goloshes and mackintoshes should be
kept within reach for the next twenty-four
hours or so. The local weather man says
the outlook is distinctly threatening and
that either snow rain will fall. The
chances are, too, that it will be warmer
and everything goes to show it will be any
thing but dry under foot. The report from
Washington says fair and colder" The
citizen should be prepared for either con-
dition.
Those who faced the steady snowfall yes
terday afternoon and evening may find it
hard to believe that between the hours of
o'clock Monday night and o'clock last
night there was only One-tenth Of an inch
of melted snowfall. That would represent
about an inch OF snow. At that, more snow

PORTLAND, Ind, Feb. u.-After thir-
teen ballots in the elimination of a hard
political battle, every point being contested,
the Hon. George ". Cromer. of Muncie.
was nominated for member Of Congress in
