business man and every citizen OF
the state OF North Dakota ought to
pay his share OF 1t. Why? Because
Eif this book goes out and Is circu-
lated throughout the different eastern
and middle states it will produce an
E immigration to this state will sur
prise you, and the farmers and all
men n,n already settled here will have
their lands !. advanced In price, and
their prosperity increased ID in every
way, llApplause, ID # is the number
OF people that ] want anything that
makes i, a thing valuable. II Blaine said
during the. tariff agitation that you
could have market wherever there
was was. money. The more people You
get here the more market, the higher
prices and the more money. you will
have, lApplause.) When you. get
four men on a section all over this
state, it will. he. just four times as
PROSPEROUS and the land four times
as valuable as it is with only one man
on a. section now. :.,.,. 49,. - ~, >:
Now let the facts about. your state
1 = -. bs.
get into the. hands Of the right. men
and then this organization viii have
ecomplished something. You gentle
men could not stnnd the expense 81
establishing q system Of great mum.
Eber OF paid agents to. go down into
these various states, with. all, the
necessary literature and parapher-
l MALTA, as. the immigration depart
mllents Of the railroads are doing. BIT
You can do what I have indicated and
dot In harmony and cooperation
with our immigration departments.
But il you, as a recognized association
Of the state, send committee to. the
next legislature and before that have
explained to the Individual members
Of the legislature at their homes how
their. own localitie les would be bene-
fitted by an appropriat alton for. the work
Of immigration, why, you ought to be
able to secure decent appropriation.
The state OF Washington puts out a
book costing them about twenty-five
cents. q copy. The governor of that
state told me, after. the book was
arranged, in the form of manuscript,
when I was looking it over at his re.
guest, that It was going to cost about
Twenty-Five cents for each one Of the
books got out. And I said to him,
1T is worth $422 cents and it costs
your state ~ cents Montana has
got such q book. Now the Simmons
Hardware company has perhaps Ave
hundred travelling men and they sell
more goods for that reason than the
firm with twenty travelling men does.
ESQ IL you allow these western states
tU be more aggressive and progressive
In this Find OF work than you are
you will have to be satisfied with be.
ing beaten BY them. ~, @5s .
Another project / would like this
As sssociatfon to take up is the moving
picture method Of explaining your Re,
sources. It is a great educator. Show
the eastern men BY. its means North
Dakota alive. Let them see the farm
er going. to work in the morning, see
hin him tilling his crops :; his children 60
Ing to and coming from school,, his
buildings. Let him see, his crops and
the way he lives here in North Da-
kota. Show, these pictures free; go
to the school houses in the middle
western states and organize meetings
Of, the people to see, these pictures.
4 An organization of that kind I think
would. do You more good, If you keep
at it for a couple of years or three
years, than anything else you could
do. (Applause., TT. vi <...' ',@
-. Then. after this educational work is
|done, We can follow it. up and gather
men and put them on the cars and
bring them here where you people can
sell them what they want. Gap

addressed the meeting, saying = st ,
:s44I want to say a word along this line.
There seems to besa mistake. on the part
of some of the gentlemen. who have
spoken in regard to- the purpose of the
meeting. One ofrthem said he did not
think it was proper. thing. for this
dissertation to issue literature for The
promotion of Immigration to this state.
It. IS not my understanding that this is
the purpose of this association.
The object of, the association is, to
corope with the state sdepartment of
agriculture and labor in getting out ap-
propriate literature to be sent to the
