COMMITTEES, ig is likely a meeting OF all
the congressman and senators OF the
ten states will he called some time this
summer 10 block out a campaign of ad-
Ncrtislng with these men as the central
figures. 1t Is urged that every southern
congressman and every southern senator
is a continual booster" for his section
OF the country. Some OF the most prom
inent men OF the south in congress never
let slip an opportunity when talking for
the press to say something that directs
the attention OF the millions of readers 10
some particular resource. II Is further
more urged that the same method should

A .'United West
The organization OF the Western De-
Neiopment association, which has been
practically completed at the last two
Gays Sessions IN SAT- Lake, means tne
realization OF the term . a united west,
according TO Joseph h. Caine. secretary
OF the Commercial club.
This organization is fraught with
great possibilities. and the proposition is
one that Will increase in size and in ma
tlona Importance every year ii the plans
as outlined at the. last meeting can be
carried out TO any extent" said Mr.. Caine
yesterday. Within the last few weeks
VIC have witnessed an example OF the
Importance of such an organization in

tory, and Il was won despite the fact
that the united west had no real and
tangible organization al the time when
il WAS most needed Now with ten states
organized into an association Of this Kind
IL would be hard to estimate the extent
OF the power which may be welded in
national affairs.
"rhe plans OF this association as al
ready outlined mean that there will be
real team work In the campaign To in
duCe settlers 10 locate in this part of the
United States. Just team work is
necessary In building up city a com
munity or state, IL is also necessary
TO build UP such a territory as Is en-
braced in this new orga anization. If one

northeastern Montana to southeastern
California and from Omaha to San Fran
cisco. These lines will cross at Salt
Lake City. showing It to he the exact
center OF the ten states embraced in the
association.
The recent land shows in which Utah
has been represented have demonst ra ted
