them in the eastern markets
with all their beauty and color,
caused by the long sunshiny
summers; they hear about our
wonderfully fertile lands which
one year with another produce
nearly as much as the land of

bought for less than one.third
OF what IL Is sold for in those

THEN NOT TRY TO INDUCE
THEM TO COME AND LIVE
AMONG US?
A representative Of one Of our
western chambers Of commerce
gave n series of lectures on this
country and illustrated them by
moving pictures, in one of the
principle eastern cities, and the
audiences he drew were almost
equal to the attendance Of a cir
Gus held by Barnum & Bailey.
So anxious are they to secure re-
liable Information about thi.
wonderful west. that they will
f)rego many things TO talk with

They relish the matter like a

hoaj, aud have some means to|
start right Ia Ike, II Is not like
the conditions that existed here
ten or fifteen years ago, when
most Of the people coming Out
here came to locate on home
steads, and had little more than
their filing fees, therefore maxi
ing it a necessity that they live
on about half rations, and those
secured from the merchant who
was kind enough to extend them
Il line OF credit until they could
harvest a good crop. These
kind of settlers, while they are
to be coram nded, and have
made the fine st kind Of citizens,
and eventually become well-to-
d., we're ha ldicapped, and in
turn handica ped the commun-
it, ia which hey lived, for a few
years. If these same people
could have come here with con-
siderable money, they would, |
with the same application ana
push they applied when poor,
they would have made three
times the amount they have ac-
cumulated. To this extent they
have been tie losers.
But what 10 we find the con-
ditions in tie east to be? Name
ly, thousands OF families who
are the owners Of a fine l60-acre
i ranch for " Which they could Sc
cure all the way from $75 to
$50 per are. These same fam
lies consist of grown up sons
and daughters who are anxious
to get a sJart on a farm. But
can they do it? Most assuredly |
! not in the east, for the reason |
! that the old homestead in their
] locality if sold would not bring e.
| nough to start three sons prop
, erly there. The result is that |
they are looking for cheaper
farm lands. Lands that are sell
ling from SIS to $50 per acre,
improved, and in order to find it
d. they must come west. hence the !

t"The people of the state of

wrote Old Alfalfa" Coburn few
years ago, "and I'm their press
agent"
And "old Alfalfa" is still
press-agenting just as hard as he
can for the glory of Kansas and
the Kansas farmer. He likes the
Job. In fact, he is so welded to
his job as secretary Of the Kansas
board of agriculture that 1t -un-
dermines all other worldly ambi-
tions.
The people of his state once
wanted to elect him governor, but
he would have none of 1t. Then
Gov. Hoch a few years ago tried
to reward his services by sending
him to the United States senate.
Nor would he have any of that.
He just wanted to stay at home in
his beloved state. and help the
farmers.
And he is still helping, at the
age of "a years. Incidentally, he
is an international authority on
various agricultural questions.

Little effort was made to

This Day We
Celebrate

Like all other good citizens of these great
United States we are today celebrating the
anniversary of our independence
One hundred and thirty-fou years ago,
when the fifty-six members of the Continental
Congress worked through the sweltering heat
of July day in little hall, long since known
as ''The Cradle of Liberty" and signed tina,
remarkable document, THE DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE, there was not even q
railroad, to say nothing of a system of teleg-
raphy or telephony.
In those days all messages of importance
were conveyed by stage or by special mounted
messenger. Imagine the time it took to take
this important news to New York, Boston
and Richmond
Today The Times gives you the news of the
world in comparatively few minutes after il
becomes news.
Through splendid telephone system you
are able to communicate your wants to The
Times from your home or place of business
and to have them placed before thousands OF
Tacoma readers, at the outlay of but few
cents.
Today we celebrate nations progress as
well as it's independence.
