/ GREAT PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN.
In Behalf of Canyon County in Gen.
eral, and Caldwell and Neighbour
ing Communities in Partie-
aIar,

Since Canyon county fruit exhibits
won the most coveted prizes, in COM
petition with the world, at the recent
National Horticultural congress at
Council Bluffs, an ever increasing
tide of inquiries has been pouring in
as to what our country has to offer
home and investment hunters. More
over, as the great Seattle exposition
will open in less than four months,
thousands of discontinued farmers
and capitalists throughout the nation
will take advantage of the greatly re-
duced railroad rates to the exposition.
will come, look over and compare the
advantages of various communities
in the Pacific West, and hundreds of
this number will stop on at Parma,
Notus, and Caldwell, if the great nat
ural advantages and unembraced CD
portunities of those communities are
previously made known TO them. And
to the end that the advantages of liv-
ing and investing in this county may
be more universally made known, and
in the hope of helping to make the
county the home of 100000 prosperous
and contented citizens, instead of the
$4,000 it has today, a publicity cam
paign is about to be commenced in
behalf of the county which will be
the most systematic, far-reaching and
resultful advertising campaign that
has ever been waged in the interest
of any county in the Pacific North
west
This campaign will be carried on
through the mediums of the Caldwell
Tribune and some 500 country news
papers throughout the nation. The
campaign will be personally conduct
ed by F. w. Ellis, editor of the new
Opportunity Department of the Tri-
bune, writer whose gifted pen has
done inestimable work in attracting
attention to Idaho, and a specialist
in sketches which have been great
immigration-getters, investment get
tiers and business-getters.
The campaign will be opened by an
illustrated, descriptive number of the
Tribune on Caldwell, Parma, Roswell,
and their environs. This number will
be greatly increased in size, in thous-
ands of copies issued and in typo
graphical charm.
In connection with this campaign
Mr.. Ellis will publish some 500 letters
setting forth the county's inducements
to prospective settlers and investors.
letters which will be signed by our
representative farmers and citizens,
and which will appear in newspapers
published in the widely scattered
towns from which the signers came. |
These letters will be read by at |
least 100000 farmers, friends or ac-
quaintances of the signers-by those
who were formerly neighbors or who
knew, or knew of, the sign
ers.
Such is hint of the publicity cam
paign that the Tribune is about to in
augurate in behalf of Canyon county
In general and Caldwell and its
communities in particu-
lar. And the Tribune hopes to enlist
the enthusiastic cooperation of the
communities and people it aspires to
serve-it expects the substantial sup
port of every friend of progress in
or around Caldwell, Notus, Parma.
Roswell, Fargo. Homedale, and Mid
dleton, specialization all indeed
save dead men or from dead who fat
ter themselves that they are alive
and this latter sort of course do not
live in the Tribunes proposed field
