ADVERTISE
Nevada Should Consolidate
Her Interests With Those
Of Neighbors.
A Solid Delegation Would Insure
Better Results.

THE Empire that shifted from the
Mediterranean will, in the lifetime of
those now children, bid fair to shift
once more Westward to the Pacific
To assist the eonsumation of this
prophecy of President Roosevelt is the
object of the efforts that are now being
make to form Pacific States
Alliance in which will be combined the
energies OF the best development
workers of California, Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and the
territory of Arizona. Rufus =. Jen-
nings, the active and tireess head OF
the California Promotion Committee,
the organization of which has unified
California, conceived the idea of doing
for the Pacific Coast what the Califor-
mia Promotion Committee has done for
that state. The $50 commercial or
carnations of California today are
working in unison through the central
organization, and all the chickering's and
jealouses which formerly marked pro-
motion work are things of the past
The idea of lone for all, all for one
has made California the best adyer-
tised state in the Union. 1t is the
realization of this effective work that
has brought ont the plan of forming an
alliance OF all the states and territory
on the Pacific Coast.
While formerly the counties of the
states of California, Oregon and Wash
ington were wasting their energies in
individual advertising they are now
eemented together through central or
ganizations in each of those states, to
the benefit of the counties themselves
and larger benefit to the states as
wholes, The advertisement and de-
yelopment work of the Pacific states is
in the same condition as was that of
the counties mentioned, and az all the
interests of these states are identical
it is believed that the work can be given
IN impetus by an alliance which will
work wonders in the matter of pub
iicity and also of internal improvement
1t is the object of DR.. Jennings in
bringing this alliance into being, to
form a National power. The seven
states have twelve senators and sixteen
representatives in congress. Were
these twenty-eight working together
for all the interests of the Pacific
Coast they would be power that
would make itself felt in national af-
fairs. This power working in unison
would mean internal improvements in
all of the states interested, which can
be obtained in no other way. I'm
der the Alliance when Washington,
Oregon and any other state concerned
desired federal aid or action, she would
be backed by the power of all the
representatives of the other states, and
with these men working together
there is no measure they could not
pass through congress.
In the matter of publicity a COM
bination under one central organiza-
ton would simplify the work and in
crease the power many fold. The
money now spent by the individual
states and their individual counties
would be utilized to the best advantage
for the whole section; what will build
up part of the section will benefit
the whole. With such concentration OF
energy the results would be immediate
and marked.
In addition to internal improvement
and publicity it would be possible un-
der such an alliance to form home
markets for the products OF the Pacific
states, and thus obviate the loug hauls
and far shipments which now eat the
profits of the producers of the West.
Each state could utilize the products of
the others and with the increased
population there would be demand for
home supplies which would make an
enormous and most profitable market
for everything produced in any OF the
states interested.
Initial work looking to the formation
of this Alliance is now being done by
prominent promotion workers and the
plan is meeting with hearty co-opera-
ton and commendation whenever it is
broached.
