The "Patronize Home Industry"
spirit of the West has been one
of the considerations that has urged
the Western development organiZa-
tions to send this excursion to the
eastern states seeking the best points
at which the West may buy its goods,
since it is felt that the opening Of
the Panama canal Is apt to make Eu.
ropean manufacturers close compcti
tors OF all American industries.
Elaborate arrangements have been
made in all cities to be visited to en-
tertain the men making up the party.
The train will be met upon entering
q state by the governor of that state
and other prominent men. They will
accompany the train to the border
line and turn it over to the governor
OF the next state.
In all cities to be visited the lead
ing commercial organizations have ta-
ken full charge OF the arrangements,
and there will be Il series of lunch
cons and banquets and much speech
making.
The five exhibit cars, to be part OF
the special train. will be fairly instruc.
tive Of the resources of the West.
These cars will be parked near the
center of population OF the cities to
be visited, and representatives of the
states will explain the exhibits and
offer information and literature re-
garding the Northwest.
There will be ten state exhibits and
nine governors will make the trip.
Those who started on the trip, are
Cows Hawley of Idaho. West of Ore
gon. Vessey of South Dakota, Shafroth
OF Colorado. Oddie of Nevada, Carev
of Wyoming. Norris OF Montana and
Burke of North Dakota.
The states represented on the spe-
cial will be Minnesota. North Dakota.
South Dakota. Wyoming, Montana,
Oregon. Washington, Idaho. Colorado
and Nevada.
The special will have all the COM
forts of Il first class passenger train.
Former Gov. James II. Bradley OF
Idaho has started movement to hold
a land congress in St. Paul when the
special returns. AS congress will ad-
journ for the holidays about the time
the special reaches Washington, 1t Is
planned to attach an additional car
and bring back to st. Paul the ma
tional representatives of the various
states, who will be met here by busi-
ness men and state representatives.
The object of the congress will be to
discuss the development and settle
ment of the Northwestern territory.
Mr.. Bradley will work out the details
of the proposed congress during the
progress of the governors special.
