largely drawn hither by the attractive homeseekers rates. But the big move- ment begins with the first day of the exposition rates.
 ''In all our work of exploitation we have put the Pacific Northwest to the front with the exposition as great feature of trip this year. Not one visitor in a hundred who comes 70 the exposition should be lacking in gener- al information concerning conditions and opportunities in this and the bor- dering states and tho province to the north This work has been most effectively advanced by the publicity and passenger departments of the rail- road and l want to say that the North western representatives of the various lines are the most active, energetic and helpful bunch of men that ever got behind any sort of a project.
 The exposition is complete and ready. Attention has been drawn from every quarter of the globe. The visi- tors and homeseekers are coming by the tens and hundreds of thousands and it is up to the people of all parts of the Pacific Northwest to give them a welcome worth while.''

Gopher. Co.
 Launches Fine Boat

Shonea is the euphonious title of a launch just put in the water for the opher-Empire mining company of which Mr. E. c. Howard is the local representative. She has a new six horsepower engine and her trial trip showed that she is able to deliver all that is usually intended for a boat of her class to do. Shonea is a Chippewa Indian word and means money. The mines which this company is promot- ingmean money, too, as soon as their proper development is made.

'More people will visit the Pacific Northwest this year than in any per- vious 6ve-year period," says James A. Wood, director of Exploitation of the Alaska Y ukon-Pacific Exnosition.
 My prediction is fully justified by the returns from our press clipping bureaus, the letters recieved and the reports from the transcontinental railoads and their connections. St. Paul and Minneapolis newspapers de- clare that more than a million travel CTS destined for Puget Sound and the Pacific Northwest will pass through the Twin Cities. The probable extent of the movement is greatly increased by reports from all the other big cities of the United States. More publicity has been given the Alaska ukon-P a. cific Exposition during the past five months than was given any exposition held in this country since Chicago. Eastern railroad offices report a more general inquiry than was made con- cerning any other exposition. The movement is already on. It is estima-
 ted that fully 100, 900 new people have come into Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia since March 15,

There is room today in Alaska even under existing conditions, for large populaton-men and women who are made of right warp and wool. For the idle, the vicious, there is no place, but for the strong and industrious and courageous, wide field is offered for their activitles--a field in which they can, if they will become moro than hewers of wood and drawers of water; where honest and patient efforts and enlarged opportunities will bring more certain reward than can. in the very nature of thnigs, be found in the congested cities of men. To these Alaska points the way if they have some means of their oan, so much the better for them but il they can mus ter naught else save stout hearts aud willing hands, their efforts will not be unrewarded.
