sible people. and that is the kind this valley wants to get. There are plenty | of facts that appeal to sensible men and there Is no need of advertising a thing that cannot be defended by every citizen as being literally true in all respects.
 ! And after sensible people have con- cluded that they would like to come here to live it will take time for them to so adjust their home affairs, dis 1 pose of their interests and move here. Many will prefer to come here and look around before they decide to leave their present homes. They will do this while the current years crops are growing and then shape their affairs tc follow later if they are pleased. This the very best way in the world for them to go about 1t if they are sit uated so they can. Not that any ad- vantage will be taken of one who does not do so, but after a man has seen for himself he is prepared to act on his own judgment and begins work in satisfied frame of mind, and fortu- nately for the valley it will be satis- fled with a mere opportunity to show the goods. The stock in trade speaks for itself when 1t can get an audience. People of that sort cannot possible become anchored here for a year or so yet and by that time conditions win certainly be just a little bit nearer ideal for the farmer than any other community has ever been in position to offer. The best results of present advertising will therefore not be ap- m C. fc., time to lose. For those who come be- fore, implicitly taking the advertisers word. the early fruits of the advertis- ing which will honestly deal with con- ditions as they are to be a year or so hence. there will be compensating fea- lures to offset the fact that there are a few thorny bushes and now and then a desert patch in this rapidly evolving Eden. They will be able to see just as clearly as the home people what the conditions will be a year or two hence and will be able to acquire a little piece of land at much lower fig ures than can be done later. Those who came here a year or so ago when perfection was still further off are not making complaints. They invested and have made more already on the in- creased value of their property than they could from its products during the same time. It is not the purpose to feature the valley as a place for speculation but as place for home building. Land buyers are wanted who will make their little farms pay an in- terest on the investment that to be modest will double anything they can get in any ordinary legitimate invest ment. If they make few dollars on the increased value of their lands they are surely entitled to it and no one will regret it. Rather. it is quite desirable that every section shall be owned by some family before the land reaches Its full value. It is the fashion nowa- days to threw in a chromo or offer some other kind of a. prize package every time a sale is made. This is the little benefit offering the valley now has to make to all the early investors and it is worth while looking into.
 This is admittedly a little argument for advertising for The Republican believes in advertising and would like to see the good work begun. But all are invited to the meeting today how
 
 haps they may be converted if they are opposed to the movement and if they have anything to offer against it that has weight. perhaps they may make converts. Anyhow there is no scheme behind it other than the avow- ed purpose and no subscriptions will be called for on this day and date. It Is expected they will be later unless there is great change in sentiment today. but today's meeting is to be only big community conference. a town talk fest. an interchange of ideas. The board of trade believes it has read the minds of the people rightly and is pre- pairing to act in accordance with the ideas here set forth, es near as a re- porter can grasp the boards ideas. But the board is desirous of acting in accord with public sentiment in this matter and desires Mir Man to get out today so it can feel his pulse. The hour is o'clock and the place is the a-I IL
