Othello a Farming Center Now

AS farming center, OTHELLO, even
now, when less than year old city, is an
ambitious rival of North Yakima. The best
authorities upon trade and transportation
unhesitatingly assert that OTHELLO will
be the recognized farming center of the
great Inland Empire of Eastern Washing
ton within the next few years. It will be,
they say, the center of all the other farm
ing centers. 1t will be the middle of three
great cities of the State of Washington,
from west to east. OTHELLO is midway
between. Seattle and Tacoma and Spokane
1t is the one common point at the crossing
of the great farming valleys of Eastern
Washington one Of which extends east and
west; the other north and south.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-17

OTHELLO is abundantly blessed from
the material point of view There will be
plenty of business and money there. The
farm, the factory, trade and commerce will
all join to make her citizens prosperous.
But that is not ALL
OTHELLO is a beautifully situated city.
1t rises in gentle slope from the railroad
to OTHELLO HIGHLANDS, the famous
fruit lands which have been discussed so
much throughout the northwest for months
past. With first-class city water system
and adequate drainage OTHELLO is a
clean, healthful, beautiful city in which to
live.
First-class schools and churches, social,
religious and fraternal organizations, and
modern stores found in progressive cities
are established at OTHELLO, so that the
life of the new citizens is made as pleasant
and happy as possible. OTHEILO has
that Esprit" that natural, honest, sincere
enthusiasm among her citizens which 40
complishes things. 1t has that indefinable,
resistless energy which makes city great
and prosperous and justly proud of its over
mastering strength and promising future.

The coal fields of Cleelum and Roslyn are
but few miles distant from OTHELLO,
and the haul of the loaded cars from the
mines to the city is an all clown grade
haul" This, as you may readily see, to-
gether with the altogether remarkable To-
cation of the city, from the standpoint Of
shipping facilities, will appeal at once to
manufacturers. 1t was the unusual COM
bination of favorable conditions shipping
advantages in every direction, from a COM
mon point and single station and easily
accessible coal supply-which caused the
American Slate Products Company to
choose OTHELLO, from among cities in
every part of the northwest, as a location
for its immense factory, which is now un-
der construction. No less than nine other
cities, including some of the largest in the
state, offered inducements of various kinds,
some of them offering a free site and
cash bonus to secure the big factory which,
when in full running order, will employ in
the neighborhood of thousand men.
OTHELLO'S future as manufacturing
center is assured. 1t is without exception
the most advantageousfy located city west
of Chicago, from every standpoint for
manufacturing. 1t offers the largest and
most easily reached territory for the quick
and convenient distribution of manufac-
tured products. 1t is in the geographical
center of the population of the northwest.
and its railroads reach out, in straight
lines, in every direction.

A Railroad functional Point

That OTHELLO is certainly destined by
nature to be great commercial point will
be plainly evident to any one who will look
at map and see the unmatchable strategic
position the city occupies. The fact that
the command of the two great valleys Of
agriculture, by commanding their cross
roads, meant the trade of nearly half the
state, was quickly apparent to that keenest
and most aggressive of railroad builders,
President A. j. Earing, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railroad. The
Milwaukee will have lines reaching north,
south, east and west out of OTHEkLO.
There is no speculation or guesswork about
this. Read what President Earling himself
said, in an interview in the Seattle Post
lntelligencer, on the Goth day of September
last:

Quickly as possible, and upon the compile
ton of surveys that are now under way,
will build line both north and south of

already yielding and districts that will be
developed with transportation facilities. 1t
is our intention to build into the Moses
Lake district. We spent some time in riding
over that district yesterday and it prom
Uses much for the FUTURE
Already the Milwaukee Company has
demonstrated its belief that OTHELLO
must be one of the great cities of the west
by establishing division headquarters
there. Immense machine shops, where
locomotives, ears, air brakes and other
equipment are repaired and kept in condi-
ton, are now operating in OTHELLO. Ad-
|ditions and improvements to these shops
are being made all the time. A large round
house, hastily constructed to take in en-
gines Immediately, holds ten locomotives.

One Record Made by Women.

Through the activity of women, in
the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sana-
toria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions of
pieces, thousands of lectures have
been given, large sums of money have
been secured. hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many commune
ties where no movement had existed;
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods of proven
tion oil tuberculosis The work of the
women extends from the drawing-room
of the rich to the homes of the poor,
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire During
the coming year special campaign of
lectures to women will be carried ON
