to counteract the effects OF the inter

Liberia.

Liberia, the West African negro re-
public, was founded mainly through
the efforts of American quakers, or
ganized under the title Of the Penn
sylvania Cobnist society. The chief
bar to the development Of Liberia is
a law by which white men are not
allowed to hold property In the coun-
try. Capital has. therefore, gone else

\. P. EXHIBIT CAR
DID GRAND WORK

The Northern Pacific exhibit car
has returned from its tour of the
Middle West, having been Contin-
uously in service from November
10Th to May 20. In all it has been
visited by l65, 900 people, $4,000
of whom registered their names
and addresses as being definitely in
terested in the Northwest and de-
sirous of securing full information
in regard to the possibilities for
homeseekers and investors. OF
those who registered 1000 were
interested in Washington. The
total number of visitors, namely,
l65, 900 were adults, there being at
a conservative estimate over so, ZOO
school children who visited the car,
but of whom no count was taken.
In its travels the car distributed
1O3.825 pieces of printed matter,
large share of which was taken
by those who registered as being
definitely interested in the North
west.
The car exhibited in nine states,
as follows: Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Kansas. Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. 1t
was accompanied constantly by
two representative of the Northern
Pacific who travelled with the car
throughout its tour and they were
Joined at different times by the
travelling representative IN whose
territory the car happened to be.
These men all combined their et-
forts to make the work effective by
explaining the various exhibits
and the sections from which they
came, telling of the yields per acre
which are secured by Northwestern
farmers, telling the value OF fruit
crops raised and the prospects tor
wage earners and business men IN
the cities and towns This spring
has seen a very heavy movement
of homeseekers into the Northwest
and the Northern Pacific ascribes
g0e d deal of the business to the
effect of this exhibit car.
The railway company is already
planning to restock the car with
samples of products raised TINS
season and start it out this tall IN

MORE COWS AND CHICKENS NEEDED

To conserve within the channels
of trade in the Inland Empire $40,
900 now sent east for milk, butter
and eggs is the aim of the country
life economists, who realize each
year the waste that these imports
entail upon the producers and con-
sumers of the Spokane country.
To produce the 100000 quarts
of milk which raw or manufactured
now come from the east, 10000
cows are needed. TO produce the
100000 eggs which the Empire
eats each day, 100000 hens are
needed.
According to experts who have
made the industry a study, both
of these crafts will pay a handsom e
profit. They agree further that
the cut-over valley lands of the
Empire are ideal for furthering
such industries.
The figures furnished by David
Brown, the Lakewood dairyman
and one of the best posted men on
country life possibilities in the In
land Empire, checked against
figures collected by the Chamber of
Commerce, show that the people of
the Inland Empire consume 90
OOO, 900 quarts of milk a year
which, at 10 cents quart repre-
sents the tremendous outlay of 80, =
900, 900 a year for dairy products.
The Chamber of commerce set the
consumption at $4,000, 900, all
chargeable to dairy products inn
ported from the east.
Mr.. Brown finds, however, a
growing production of milk in the
Inland Empire and sets the pro-
duct of Inland Empire diaries at
"a, OOO,O quarts of milk a year,
representing a comfortable revenue
of 81, 400 900 at the retail price of
10 cents a quart.
There is no reason said the
big dairy expert why the Inland
Empire should not be shipping car
loads of eggs, butter and chickens
to the east instead of bringing
them in here
At the very lowest calculation
therefore, it is apparent that the
people of the Empire are sending
from $1,000, 900 to $4,000, 900 a
year back east, as the price of
manufactured dairy products, such
as butter and cheese, would I'M
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1911-06-01

doubtedly bring the figures very
near the highest amount.
There is more gold in the little
valleys okthe Inland Empire than
there is in the hills, declares Mr..
Brown People have got to rid
themselves of the notion that
farm is a piece of land to specu-
late with and must settle down
and make homes. AS soon as
they begin real home making there
will be less money sent east and
more solid farming business built
up in the Spokane country.
This is the best country in the
world. The biggest men in the
country believe it is or they
wouldn't be backing their opinions
with millions as they are. They be-
lieve the northwest will be the flu
ture home country of the Union
and l believe it too.
The way to make money on
farm lands is to farm them.
Diverging to the egg problem
for a few moments, Mr.. Brown es-
timated that the Inland Empire
consumes 10000 dozen eggs day,
or 1900, 900 dozen a year, which
at rs cents a dozen means 81 ,825,-
900. Practically all of this money
goes east, according to Mr. Brown.
The egg product of the Inland
Empire is practically nothing" he
said.
This, however does not shake the
golden optimism of David Brown.
Conditions in the Inland EN-
pire are going to be better, he
said. There will be double the
amount of milk. butter and eggs
produced in the Inland Empire as
soon as people turn their heads
away from land speculation and
begin to produce. You will see a
marked improvement in the COM
ing year.
There is nothing wrong with
legitimate business. The staples
of life tell the story. Our bust
ness for April was bigger than it
ever was before. April 1911,
showed substantial gain over
April, 1911. That tells the story.
The consumption of butter, eggs
milk can't be forced. We've been
a little hysterical and need to get
down to business. '-Spokesman-
