NO ADVERTISING
NO HOMESEEKERS
LACK OF PUBLICITY WORK is
TELLING AGAINST WALLoWA
COUNTY.

The only publicity work on large
scale that has been done by this
county was the 10000 booklets paid
for by the county court a couple OF
years ago. A goodly share Of them
were we'll distributed and they
brought number Of homeseekers
and investors to this county. Most
of the comparatively few who are
coming here this spring were influ-
enced by that booklet, and by the
free advertising the county received
by the completion of the railroad.
Aside from that booklet, and few
leaflets gotten out by real estate
firms year ago, and folder this
spring by Wallowa firm, there has
been no publicity work done, yet the
effect of that small amount is thus
commented on by the La Grande
Star:
THAT Wallowa county is alive is
evidenced every day by the number
of new people who get off the train
here to go to that part of the state.
The Commercial clubs of that county
lave a man at Pocatello who boards
the trains at that place and explains
to the tourist how to arrange for a
stop-over at La Grande and make
the side trip to Wallowa. In the
past few days several families have
stopped off at this place, some from
the state Of New York, due to the
work of the man at Pocatello.
"The Wallowa people have also
gotten out very attractive little
booklet, all home print, that is dis
tIibuted to those going through on
the trains"
The foregoing Is misleading. The
Commercial clubs have no one sta
toned at Pocatello. An enterprising
real estate firm at Wallowa got out
the booklet spoken of in the last
paragraph and has representative
at Huntington distributing them. It
is stated the scheme is a failure as
far as general results go. The Wal
Iowa Sun, in an editorial last week,
referring to the ineffectiveness of
this method, stated a scarce half
dozen of the thousands Of colonists
had been diverted to the "best val
ley Of ALL and not one had located.
. The reason Is, as this paper has
often pointed out, colonists go to
the place to which they buy their
ticket. Advertising to be effective
must be brought to the notice of
homeseekers before they buy their
tickets-before they make up their
minds where they wish to locate.
In shot, the advertising must be
done in the East, and months in ad
vance of the colonist rate period.
The advertising for the next period,
September l to October 80, should
begin now. If it is put off until sum-
mer the thousands who will come
to Oregon next fall will continue to
pass by the "best valley Of ALL
