The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1911-02-11
.S.P.TO ADVERTISE
STATES RESOURCES

| Flashed from the New York Offices
of the Hartman railroad system
came the word last night of an appro
priation Of $1,25O,O00 to be spent in
advertising during 1911, with especial
attention being given to the work of
inducing settlers to come to Utah and
surrounding states of the intermoun-
tain region and build up and develop
this district.
| Coming on the heels of the $75,000,-
900 appropriation for double tracking
its western lines, a large part of which
is to be spent in Utah, and contempor
aneous with campaigns being launch
ed by the commercial organizations of
the state, the announcement means a
monster step in Utah g climb towards
the supremacy of the intermountain
west
| With the Back to the Lando cry
running rampant through the crowd
ed east and a consequent exodus from
the big cities to the more sparsely
settled districts, the Hartman system,
with its great western arteries, means
to pump goodly portion of the land
seekers in this direction. Utah, as the
central state of that vast empire
which extends welcome to all who
come to take up and till the unused
land, will reap her share of both ad
vertisement and results.
/ AS the state where the greatest of
the western lines meet and intersect
the gigantic colonization movements
which the Hartman officials have in
mind, will pour into Utah, and though
thousands will go north to Idaho and
west to the coast, many may be ex-
pected to settle here in the fertile val
| leys of the Wasatch IS western slope.
Greater Fund.
This years advertising fund of the
| Hartman roads is greater by $250,000
than was ever appropriated heretofore.
| 1t will be spent to the last cent in
heralding to the world the wealth and
wonders of the west, it is said. The
bulk of it will be spent within the
next few months, when veritable sea
of literature is to be scattered over the
central eastern states and the Atlantic
seaboard By early summer the colo
nization rates will go into effect, it is
said, and from then until late in the
fall the harvest of sturdy settlers
grown from the spring seeds of adver-
tising will be reaped by the western
states. This policy has been carried
out in part, but never on so large a
scale, and never has so much of the
publicity campaign been centered on
Utah as will be done this year, it is
said.
Confirm Report
Officials of the local Hartman of
fees confirm the report from New
York last night as having already
been received in Salt Lake. D. +.
Burley, general freight and passenger
agent of the Oregon Short Line, will
have charge Of much of the advertis-
/ ing conducted IN Utah, Idaho and. the
northwest. He says that the unusual
Expenditure for advertising is but
detail of the gigantic development
plan decided upon by the Hartman
railroad system,the magnitude of which
was shown last week when the an
nouncement came of $75,000,000 ap-
ipropriated for double tracking all Har-
riman lines west of the Missouri
river
Bound for complete inspection of
the lines of which he is absolute head
to determine where and how the vast
sum shall be expended, Judge Robert
s Lovett, successor to Edward II. Har-
riman, will leave New York this week.
Accompanying him will be Julius
Kruttschnitt, director of maintenance
and operation of the Hartman roads;
j. G. Stubs, traffic director, and 9th
ers high in the railroad world.
The party will reach Salt Lake
three weeks hence, coming in from the
north. Following a consultation with
local officials concerning needs of the
Oregon Short Line out of Salt Lake,
they will continue on over the South
ern Pacific to San Francisco, whence
they will double back to take in the
Union Pacific east of Ogden to Green
River.
Scene Of Activity.
This territory lying between Hunt
ington, Oregon, on the north, san
Francisco on the west, Salt Lake on
the south and Omaha on the east, is
the scene of large part OF the pro-
posed improvements.
One of the chief results of Lovett 8
visit to Salt Lake will be the authori-
cation of a double track between Salt
Lake and Ogden on the Oregon Short
Line, according to the statement of
local officials. Fourteen miles of
double track is already in between
Salt Lake and Pennington. The re-
naming twenty-five miles will be put
in this spring, according to local Off.
cials. who are but waiting final word
from the head officers before proceed
ing.
, Whether or not the Oregon Short
Line will be double tracked between
| Ogden and McCammon is still an un-
certainty which Lovett's visit is ex-
pected to settle. Estimates have been
/, called for on the work, though it is
, said that traffic over that section is
not sufficient at present to warrant
the Herald Republican.
