Will VISIT EAST

take "traveling land products ex
hibit' into the eastern states early
this fall, visit some 250 towns and
cities, be out more than thirty days
and return to Omaha for the big west
ern land show to be held there the last
of October.
The plan is to fit up an entire train
of steel exhibit cars containing the
products of the states interested, and
carrying tons of information certified
by the state department, moving
picture show and hundreds of beauti-
full transparencies and pictures. Two
attendants will go with each car to
rerres cnt their respective states and a
general staff of six to ten persons to
represent the Western Development
association, under the direction of
which the big educational trip and ad.
vertising campaign is to be organized
and executed.
California, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Montana, Wyom-
ing. Colorado and Nebraska are the
states which are to be given the privi-
lege of each furnishing an exhibit car
for this magnificent train. Western
railroads will be asked to cooperate
and assist in making the trip over 81
900 miles of eastern roads possible.
Twelve-Coach Train.
This plan and some of its details
resulted from the meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Western De
velopment association, which has been
meeting at the Commercial club in
Salt Lake. The meeting was presided
over by Ex-Governor James II. Brady
of Idaho, who is president, and was at
tended by vice-presidents of the or
ganization from Idaho, Oregon, Wash
ington. Utah and Nebraska. Other
states in the association which could
not be represented had wired Governor
Brady their willingness to cooperate
in any plan the committee might for
mulate, and officers feel sure twelve
coach train will be sent east in Sep
tember carrying the exhibit cars of ten
states, the Pullman headquarters ear
and dining car
Following the adoption of the plan
submitted by the committee, Governor
Brady said:
H'I am personally confident of the
success of this plan and of tho results
it will bring to the west. I am much

mittee to go about this matter in a
great big way. 1t is in line with the
see America first movement. 1t will
be an exceptionally educational propo-
sition.
"The east does not know the west
ern part of the. United States as one
part of great country should know
another. We are not working together
to make America great as we should
This trip will bring brothers together
and as the east must always contribute
her people to develop pew countries
and new sections of America, the east
will send her sons after a trip of this
kind instead of sending them into a
foreign eonutry or into climates where
the ways OF farming and making q
living are so much different from what
they are in the east"
Route Through East.
The part of the United States to be
visited will be Iowa, Illinois, Wiscon
sin. Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and
perhaps the virginias and Maryland
The trip will surely be routed into
some of the great cities of the east
including the national capital. 1t wal
skirt the Ohio river country on lts
return and cross southern Illinois ano
Missouri, reaching as far as possible
the sections which are now contribut
ing so largely to the western country
as well as the far south and Canada
To make arrangements for this trlI
another meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Western Development
association will be called within sixty
days in Portland, when all the presi
dents of western railroads may be
present. These men desired to attend
the present meeting in Salt Lake CITY
but the time was short, and they de
cided to first permit the association &c
work out its plan and then join witt
it in the working out of the gigantic
enterprise.
Should the first trip prove success
ful the trip will be made an annua
event at least for the four years wnlcf
precede the Panama Pacific exposition
which the western states expect 10 pt
the climax of the present compalgr
TO introduce the east to the west.
