LETTER.

Okanogan, Wash, May 16.-"The
Great Northern Railway is inaugur-
ating an advertising campaign for the
Okanogan country and North Central
Washington the like of which has
never before been attempted for this
part of the country" said F. T,
Holmes, travelling passenger agent Of
the Great Northern at Kansas City,
who was in Okanogan last week in
company with NJ. M. Hubert, trav-
cling passenger agent from st. Louis
The gentlemen were travelling
through the upper country by easy
stages, gaining information about
the climate, resources and possibili-
ties, to be impaired to eastern par
ties who are seeking homes in the
west. They state that the railroad
company is conducting an education
al campaign among its passenger
agents located in the various cities
of the east and middle west, send
ing them through this country to
become acquainted with it that they
may be better qualified to tell the
homeseeker what he may expect
here THE Great Northern has in
years gone by done some advertis-
ing for the Okanogan country" con-
tinued Mr.. Holmes, but that is in
significane compared with what they
have outlined for the coming year,
It's no use to advertise a new cOun-
try unless you can show the pros
pective settler that he can have rail
transportation. In the past aiver-
Using the Okanogan was a hopeless
job, but now that the railroad is
building and will be operating in a
short time, eastern people will be
more easily interested in the coun-
try. I look for thousands of new
settlers to come up here next year
when the road is in operation"
