COMING HOMESEEKERS.

more people will visit the Pacific
Northwest this year than In any
previous five-year period, says James
A. Wood, Director of Exploitation OF
the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition.
my prediction is fully justified by
the returns from our press clipping
bureaus, the letters I receive and the
reports from the transcontinental
railroads and their connections. ST.
Paul and Minneapolis newspapers
declare that more than a million
travellers destined for 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. The movement is
already on. 1t is estimated that fully
100000 new people have come into
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
British Columbia since March 15,
largely drawn hither by the attractive
homeseeker's rates. But the big |
movement begins with the first day of
the exposition rates"
The statement Of Mr. Wood is but
one OF thousand we'll founded pre-
dictions, all pointing to the opening
OF period in which the entire North
west is to receive one Of the greatest
increases in its permanent population
that has occurred since the early
emigration days,
The immense number OF colonists
who have already come and who are
still to come will be distributed
throughout the whole Northwestern
territory and to the communities that
offer the greatest inducement for
settlement will fall the lions share Of
this new and desirable citizenship.
In view Of that fact, it behooves the
people of Polk county and its cities to
make concerted and effective effort to
bring before the attention Of these
newcomers and of prospective new
comers, the merits of this locality as
place for homeseeker. The induce
ments and opportunities we are able
to offer are real and they are plenti-
ful. The people who are coming
westward this season are Of a most
desirable type of citizenship. 1t needs
but the calling to their attention what
Polk county has to offer them, to
assure Polk county of its fair share OF 1
the westward moving homeseekers. '

ROAD BUILDING PROGRESSES
Improvement Work On Bridges and
Highways Being Carried On in
Every District.

The season OF road work in Pol
: county is we'll under way and exten
sive improvements have been planne'
and are already being carried out il
every precinct in the county.
The most extensive and also tn,
most important (by reason of the fac
that it will be more permanent thar
ordinary gravel) is the construction
Of macadam work which is being
carried on under contract by Wolf
Brothers & Bradley, of Washington
county.
The first strip OF macadam finished
this season was about $50 yards near
Bridgeport The crushing plant is
now at the Lyons quarry near Salt
Greek and macadam is being laid on
the Salt Greek Dallas road near the
Dolph farmhouse. The work in that
vicinity this season will extend over a
total Of about 1000 yards and after it
has been finished the crusher will be
taken to the Bridgeport quarry at once
and an additional 1000 yards will be
constructed in the Guthrie district.
In the Luckiamute, Bridgeport and
Salt Greek neighborhoods last season,
a total of about three miles of
macadam road was laid and the work
that will be done this season will add |
between four and five miles more to
that figure. Beside the macadam,
many miles of good gravel road was
built last season and is being laid this
At present the work of exca-
vating and grading is all completed
except in a short stretch of road in the
Guthrie district.
The crushed rock is being laid in
hree courses, exactly as the macadam
streets in this city are laid, and gives
| fine durable surface that makes
ravel, even for the most cumbersome
ehicles, at any season of the year
asy and pleasant. The improved
trips give fine avenues of entrance
Or trade to Ballston, Dallas and
'alls City, and the extensive street
uilding projects which are being
arried carried out by this city COM
inc excellently with the rural road |
uilding enterprises to insure free :
nd steady ntercommunication at all i
,asons of the year. 2
Another important feature of the 3
ork on the public highways is the a
ridge work which is being put ]
trough by the commissioners court
he bridgework in all of the road dis h
lets of the county this season will g
