The heart Of the wonderful
Northwest is in her boundless
grain fields and the pulse is in
her growing cities. Beach COM
mands the commerce of a small
empire of waving grain fields in
the Golden Valley and it is here
where one can feel those pulsa-
tions that are making the North
west the greatest and richest pro.
ducing center in the world.
Beach is the city that is always
mentioned anywhere along the
Northern Pacific when the speaker
wishes to make a comparison or
give an example of the wonderful
accomplishments of the Northwest.
Beach is the hume of power-farm-
ing and it is through the great
success of it's bonanza farmers
that Beach has received SO much
publicity. It is spoken of as the
best advertised town in the
Northwest. No money can buy
such advertising and no paid ad-
vertising can inspire such conf
dence and arouse such hopes in
the breast Of man seeking a new
location. The write-ups in the
Saturday Evening Post and Golfers
Weekly sound almost like fairy
tales and people write to inquire
if they are authentic.
So we ask you to come to the
INTERSTATE FAIR, Sept. >26,

pu]sations yourselves. Come and
see the, exhibits and convince

that are to be given by a city not
yet five years old. Come and you

was nothing but a section house

bearing the name Of the future
town which is now the thriving.

Beach is on the main line If the
Northern Pacific Railway and is
the most westerly town; in North

Jos. ". Weisgram, a farmer
down in the Alpha country, was
in the city the first of the week
and brought along a sample of
wheat and one of oats for exhibi-
tion purpose at the Interstate Fair
at Beach. The wheat is fair
sample, but the oats is the finest
specimen we have seen SO far this
year. 1t stands about four feet
high and the heads are easily
from six to ten inches long. A
few such samples will make the
outside world open their eyes and
stare in amazement.

Northern Pacific Wants Samples
From the Golden Valley for
Exhibition Purposes

The following letter was re.
ceived by Secretary John M. Baer
from L. j. Bricker, general immi-

Pacific Railway and is of special
interest to every Golden Valley
farmer:

mercial club,
Beach, N. Oak.
Dear Sir: ..
note your kind offer to send
us some samples Of flax, wheat
and other grains. and will say in
reply that we will be very glad
indeed to get all of this material
that you can furnish, and if you
will have same carefully packed
and delivered to our agent at
Beach. he will see that it is for
warded promptly.
was especially interested in
your last paragraph, expressing
your regret that the various North
Dakota clubs were not in better
position financially to have space
at Chicago, Pittsburg and other
land shows.
am interested in this, owing
to the fact that this is just where
we can help you out. The North
ern Pacific is going into the ex-
hibit business very heavily this
year. We have leased over $500
square feet of space in Madison
Square Garden. New York, for
the American Land and Irrigation
Exposition, which will be held
there from November 3rd to 18th
this year. This comprises the
entire Fourth Ave. end of the
garden, and will be one of the
largest exhibits there, and we
propose to put up a show there
that will astonish the natives.
We have also contracted for
space in about twelve or fourteen
fairs and expositions Of various
kinds, in as many different large
cities in the east, and will have
exhibits there.
Last year we had one large
travelling exhibit, which we
showed for a month at a time, in
each of the following cities:
Omaha, Neb., Columbus. O.. Gin
cinnati, O., Indianapolis, Ind,
and Peoria, Ill. This year we pro-
pose to have four or five such ex-
hibits, which will tour the coun-
try, showing from couple Of
weeks to a month at each place.
In addition to all this, we will
again put out our exhibit car, and
keep it on the road about seven
months. This car did great service
for our country last year, and
there is no reason why it should
not do as we'll or better this year,
provided we can get the proper
kind of classy material to put in
to it.
l merely give you this informa-
tion to show you what we are do
ing, and the urgent need for good
material to carry out these plans.
We will transport the material
to St. Paul, have it put in at
tractive shape by an expert decor
ator, and place it where it will
do the most good. Furthermore,
