try can make better showing. That
the investment has been a good
one can be gathered from the fact
that $4,000 new corners to the state
are reported. The greater number
are due directly to the advertising
campaigns conducted by organized
commercial forces. The prospects
for even more greater pronounced re-
suits during 1910 are gratifying, in
deed, from the present outlook.
Club secretaries report having
received 225,16 inquiries during the
year. These requests for information
about Washington and its opportun-
tiles are a part of the harvest that
must be credited to the liberal use of
printers ink. They come from all
parts of the United States, and many
of them are from persons residing in
foreign countries. The writer's plain
ly indicate that they are restless in
their old homes and want new field
for their abilities. Inquiry among
fifty thousand who have located here
indicate that their attention was first
drawn to the state by a magazine adj
vertisement. a booklet or a pamphlet
issued by some commercial organiza-
ton.
Unlimited are the powers for good
in a commercial organization, as the
many answers received indicate. Re
plying to the question, What notable
influence has your club had on the
community the secretary of one of
the smallest units in the state said:
A power for good in securing i'm
provements and sitting public mat
ters.'

The future of the west and the por-
trayai of it's advantages to residents
of all parts of the west is the object
of the United Exposition Association
of Irrigated States, which will hold
its first annual meeting at Salt Lake
April 6, 1910. Delegates to this
meeting will be elected at the con-
vention to be held at Nampa January
8 and g. Some of the advantages OF
this movement are set forth in let
ter by the League of Southern Idaho
Commercial clubs, addressed to citi-
zens of the state. The circular is in
part as follows
1.-The United Exposition associa-
ton was founded at Chicago during
December. 1909, and is the outcome
of the land exposition. Never has
the irrigated west been advertised to
the people of the world as it was at
Chicago, and never in the history Of
the United States have the people as
a whole taken such an active inter
est in all questions pertaining to ir-
rigation. The attendance at the show
was upwards Of 100000, and the
crowd was composed almost ex-
clusively Of farmers and investors.
ut was this feature which showed
to the western delegate that the time
was ripe for an organization COM
posed of western men-men whose
hearts and souls were with the west
all the time-who were developing
the west not merely for the gold
which it gave them. but because of
the opportunities It offers to poor,
half-starved human beings the world
over to come TO a beautiful country,
where the climate is glorious, man
is hospitable, and nature lavishes her
riches on all who will ask.
Several enthusiastic meetings
were held and a temporary organiza-
ton was affected with C. j. sinsel
of Boise as chairman and Reilly AT.

One Of the speakers at the Wash

vention in Tacoma recently declared
that school teachers are the poorest
paid of any of the brain-working

fact that they are too apathetic to
make any concerted effort to change
their condition. The speaker said he
had sent interrogatories to 1000
teachers on the subject and only 10
per cent Of them replied. The an
swers received showed that many
Washington teachers are obliged to
supplement teaching with other work
in order to make a living.
