COLONIST TRAVEL
TO WEST IS HEAVY
HARTMAN ROADS DO IMMENSE
5usiNEss-HlLL LINES MAKE
NO SPECIAL EFFORT.

Chicago Jan. 18.-The colonizing
work done by the railroads to the
west and northwest during the spring
and fall of 1909 beat all records in
railway history. The increase over
1908 on the Hartman lines was fully
20 per cent, and the number of set
tiers taken into the Pacific coast terri
tory was heavier than in any othsr
year.
Figures for the movement over the
Hill lines are not available, the man
agement refusing to give any detailed
information regarding the number Of
new home makers they transported
into the northwest during the last
year.
1t is understood, however, that the
Hill lines did not make as determined
an effort to secure coionists as they
have made in former years. This fact
is said to be due TO trouble in the
colonist department of the Northern
Pacific which led late in the year to
the resignation of c. w. Mott, general
immigration agent. On the Great
Northern road the illness of Max Bass.
general immigration agent, which re-
suited in his death, somewhat retard-
ed the work OF taking homeseekers
to the northwest.

management of both the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific, aided
by the management of the Burlington,
are to make a special effort toward
populating the vacant lands along
their lines in the fertile states Of the
northwesgt.
In each year the railroads have
two short periods which they call
colonist periods The spring colonist
period is from March / to April 80.
while the fall period is from Sent. tx
to Oct. is. In the fall period of 1909.
the Hartman lines sold total of
11,541 tickets to California, Oregon.
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada
Utah, Colorado and Wyoming points.
In the corresponding period OF 1908
the same lines sold total of 6.227.
The increase for 1909 was 5.314 tick
cts. This is an increase for the fall
period OF IS per cent.
