WAKE ,UP.....CACHE!!!

A writer from Portland, Oregon,
whose communication will be found
iE another column, offers Logan citi-
zens suggestions that are timely. lie
says that not less than 100000 eastern
ers will come west to see the Portland
Exposition, and argues that If we are
alive to our opportunities we VIII adj
vertise our recources. These visitors
will be people who have money to
travel, who have money to invest, and
many Of them will come looking for
locations This traffic will be on be-
fore many moons and il advertising is
to be done and done effectively 1t must
be gotten under way at very early
date. 1t is safe to say that much OF
this traffic will pass through Ogden,
and thousands OF travellers will stop
there and also visit Salt Lake. REAL
advertising that is truly attractive in
appearance and properly compiled,
distributed in Ogden and Salt Lake
city, on trains, in hotels and all public
places, could not but result to our
greatest advantage.
Ouray, Colorado, but 5000 in popula-
ton, spends $500 annually in Illus
trated booklets, and during summer
months, when the tourist travel Is on,
pays good talker good salary to
remain at the junction (Ouray is on
spur to interest any whom he can.
In this way Ouray has secured invest
ments amounting to thousands of dol
lars and they will yet interest
Others.
The Cache Commercial Club could
well afford to spend some good money
on nice, large pictures of the valley,
some of its institutions, scenes in the
canyons, sheep herds, wheat fields,
our canals and rivers. These proper
ly framed and hung in Salt Lake,
Ogden, Denver, Pueblo, Boise, Port
land and San Francisco public places
would be advertising worth the while,
advertising that is as sure to pay big
interest on the investment as any
other legitimate investment.
Nor Is it at all an impossible thing
for the Club to send representative
to Ogden and Salt Lake to interest
travellers in Cache Valley. A man of
fair address, supplied with well writ
ten, attractively illustrated pamph.
let's and his own sou! filled with love
for and faith in Cache Valley could in
dnce many travellers to make side
trip to the Temple City Of the north
and the ATHENS of Utah" That
representative would be in touch with
the club Of course, and when he had
interested this that or the other per
son or parties and sent them up, mem
bers Of the club could and would make
it duty and great pleasure to show
the visitors every courtesy and con
sideration.
This valley is not to be sneeZed at
In its summer garb, its delightful
atmosphere, cool nights, attractive
canyons, splendid views, II compare!
in natural beauty with any valley ir
these United States, from Shenan
d)ah to the Yosemite Get visitor:
here, treat them properly and wei
bank on natures lavishness doing the
rest. One man of capital interested
here is big return on the investment
and one man interested means that
Others will soon be interested.
This may be enthusiasm with q
capital f but If the Cache Commercial
Club is to do good work along this line
IL must go at it in business like way
and it will have TO spend money; il
must become active, thoroughly alive
see the opportunities and take ad
vantage. We believe the club is equa
to the emergency, hence the sugges
