western Development league be per-
mftted to exhibit The territory of
Alaska, which is part and parcel OF the
great northwest-the outlet to our
great northern territory being through
Portland, Ore, and Seattle, wash

basis and win all hold up the pro-
gressive northwestern farmer and
show the world what the fertile soil
Of the seven confederated states can

the twin city but of Helena and other |
large commonwealth are giving space |
to the news items and are in every way |
endeavoring to boost this show. But |
it is not only the newspapers Of the |
larger cities, according to Mr.. Camp

Land Products show, who are helping, |
the commercial clubs In the smaller
towns, the farmers and the small coun-
try newspapers are all doing their part |
TO help boost the northwest No one Is
tagging. Everywhere the enthusiasm
shown is such that the officials know
now that the Northwestern Land Pro-
ducts show win be a great success.
In q few days list OF the valuable
prizes will be prepared and while no
prize is so valuable to community
as q few new, good sattlers, yet at
the same time many prizes win be
given SO that the farmers who take
time to prepare the best exhibits win 1
be properly rewarded.
There is no doubt but what thous-
ands of the better class OF Americans
of the eastern and many thousands OF II
the more Industrious foreigners in the II
big cities will be brought to the north II
west next spring by the exhibits In our
own show in st. Paul, Dec. IL to rs.
