and 500. Most OF the letters are in
quiries for land although other subjects
are taken up and Mr.. Whyte is kept
very busy replying to these requests for

nerve are attracting the attention of
many with the result that wonderful
improvement will be shown. While the
number Of letters coming in and the
daily increase in same is very gratifying
still the secretary is somewhat handi-
capped on one subject and finds II diff
cult to answer properly and fully the
many requests ior information.
This subject Is the question of OBJ
tainabe lands and data concerning same
The cooperation OF those having o.
| knowing Of lands is earnestly sought by
tho Chamber and this cooperation
should be given by those in position

the duty OF our citizens and nearb,
