TWO HUNDRED
FAMILIES COMING
COL0hISTS HEADED YAKIMA WAY
To Leave Sioux City About June Isl
Some of the Tourists Will Go
to kIickitat County.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, May 20.-The
fertile valley OF the Yakima, in the
state of Washington. is soon to be
the home of nearly 1000 more people.
During the month of April man
named John H. Rogers, purporting
to be from the west coast, was
through the west part of LAe state of
Iowa, interesting farmers and others
in the future of that part of the state
Of Washington. AS a result of his
brief canvass he will accompany an
expedition of immigrants to that state
From Ida, Sac, Calhoun, Monona
and Webster counties in Iowa two
hundred families will take their be-
longings, including farm machinery
in quantity, and go to Washington.
A large majority of these farmers
are men who have been renting al
most all their lives. They have saved
enough cash to purchase little home
in the western country, and all their
hopes are firmly set upon owning a
small acreage tract that they can call
their own.
The last few years has seen the
farming land of Iowa futter out of
the reach of the laboring classes and
rise skyward with rapidly increasing
values. In Ida and Monona counties
of this state many of the best farms
have been nailed up with plank
across the gateways for a number of
years for the reason that no tenants
could afford to pay the excessive
rentals demanded by the owners.
The company of Iowans who will
invade Washington and settle in
Yakima and Klickitat counties are
from the very best Iowa people, home
loving and God fearing, and they will
make an admirable addition to the
population of the state Nearly all
are moderately we'll to do, or, at
least, have a little of this world
goods. They will arrive in Washing
ton with the firm determination to
settle down and etablish good homes
and good schools.
There will be eleven coaches in
the first special train to leave the
state, and in these will be all the
women and children and all Of the
men except those needed to accom-
pany the cars containing live stock.
The household goods and farm ma
chinery will constitute another train
of seventeen cars, and will be loaded
heavily. Still another train will be
filled with livestock, blooded cattle,
horses and hogs.
The farmers will settle down as
soon as they arrive, while the others
will seek new businesses to operate.
The special train will leave Sioux
City about the 1st of June, and one
week later will arrive in Washing
ton. BY coming to Washington in
the middle of summer the new set
tiers plan to get their homes erected
and land prepared for crop the CON-
ing spring.
