Plan of Organization.
Three Vice-pEesidents one from
each state. each one a man of the
highest standing inrhis own state, and
elected by his own state.
Eighteen directorS-siX from each
state, each one man of the highest
standing in his own state and elected
by his own state.
Three directors in an executive
committee-one from each state.
Standing committees made up in
every case, but one, of men in the
three states-there being one excep-

for reasons hereafter to be made clear.

treasurer, one secretary. each elect
ed by the body as a whole.
There will be one auditor, selected
by the directors, and he a chartered
accountant; for in this organization
must be neither snaps nor junkets, nor
graft.

and compel migration. It can be
done.

Individual prosperity-a condition that
could not arise here, owing to our
great climate, long growing season and
glorious rains.
Why is unimproved land in the
Hood River district of Oregon selling
for 5000 an acre, and still greater Dri-

two states work hand in hand in pro-

world-yet their advantages as a

How has Colorado grown? By ad-
vertising. and ii is a process never
ending for that state, since after many
years of spending, they are this year

The advantages here are so many,
and the permanency of our civilization
so manifestly a degree of destiny. that
