"Spokano's only sire is to see all
sections If the Northwest progress. It
would cause alarm for any portion to
not prosper, and the entire Inland
country cannot grow too fast to please
us
1T is not in the power of any man
to say that Spokane will always re
main the metropolis of the Inland EN-
ptre, ii $ not within the power of any
man to say that developments in the
Lewiston country may not make this
city the metropolis OF the Inland sec
tion. and II Lewiston is destined to be-
come such a city the people OF Spo-
kan wish you Godspeed
The entire country is now in its
Swaddling clothes and the history Of
the Eastern cities has taught us that
there are big changes made within a
few years 1t may be there are other
changes to take place.
Spokane cannot attain its hopes I'M
less all of the cities of the Inland EN-
pire become many times larger than
they are at present. We have com
menced the fight for reduction of
freight rates that will apply to every
/ section as much as IT does to Spo-
kane. A fight for rates that is a fight
for the consumer which will remove
the excessive rate now charged for the
transportation of his products and will

/ We have the resources already de-
Veloped to support twenty times the
population now residing within the
1 producing territory. We grow over
/ 100000 bushels of wheat and all
other products to support millions of
people instead of less than one-half Q

Value of Agricultural Wealth.
II. L. Moody: Il am enthusiastic
over the country from the farmers
standpoint, because the wealth of the
country is taken from the ground, and
what you have shown us today has
convinced us that you have an abun-
dance of wealth.
"You have one of the greatest agri-
cultural districts in the world and
want to tell you that your irrigated
districts surrounding your cities are
one Of your greatest assets.
Every person who is living in this
valley in five years from now will SEE
the land that is now selling for $3.50
per acre finding an easy market a.
prices from $1,000 to $4,000 per acre
You cannot tell me that land that will
produce $4,000 worth Of pears in {
year and from $4,000 to $4,000 o.
peaches and other fruits will long b'
sold at such prices as are now being
quoted
IF you would make up an exhibi
Of the products Of an acre and send !
to Spokane in charge of the man ant
his wife who grew them; send them I
ness part of town and make your ow1
exhibit and have the people tell Il
their own way how the products wer
grown; leave them in Spokane for 81,
months and it will do you more goo,
than anything you can do"
Congressman Jones gave a short tai
on the necessity of taking up the wor
of promotion with enthusiasm, an
said the growth of the city since hi
first visit here has convinced him tina
Lewiston has a spirit of her own.

We have our cliques, Spokane Ia
: its cl:ques, and Seattle and Portlan

Portland has more cliques than all {
: the rest of us put together.
I'VE have more timber than Wiz
consin; capacity for more whea
, than both Dakotas; the gold and siI
yer OF Colorado; the granite Of
Vermont, the copper of a Michigan
and we have the other resources of
dozen states, and with all due respec
to Spokane, Lewiston is the most cen
trally located in this rich country.
