WHERE is CACHE VALLEY?

The state Of Utas is devoting more
consideration to the matter of adver.
Using its resources than 1t has ever
done before AS n merchant must ad.
vertise his goods to sell them, so in
these days a state must tell the home
seekers what il has to offer in the
way of lands If it expects to attract
settlers. Therefore, Utah is getting in
the race for settlers along with Idaho,
Oregon, Washington and other west
ern statess.
Where is Cache Valley? Is she in
the race with the other parts of the
state? DO public advertisers know
what Cache has to offer? Cache June
ton, we think, is the only place in
the county which is doing any great
amount of advertising. The CONNER
cialBoosters club is doing some, and
is getting into shape where 1t will do
more; but the great amount that
must be done to tell the people of the
country where Cache is and what she
has, greatly dwarfs the plans under

Thirty-two out of the fCrty.siy
states are represented in the last
river and harbor hll as receiving
substantial appropriations for the
Improvement of their rivers and
harbors, these improvements having
received the endorsement of the
Board of Engineers of the United
States Army having the development
of the waterways of the country in
charge. Back of these appropriations,
which have been accepted by press
and public as being in the highest
degree free from selfish interests, and
wholly devoid of the criticism which
former river and harbor bills called
forth, staonds the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, whose propaganda,
extending over a decade and more,
has been for clean bills and com
great conventions held by the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress in
the last ten years, emphasis has been
placed on the slogan of the congress-
"a policy and not project" While
! this principle has been questioned, in
some quarters, as being Utopian, the
leaders in the movement for com
prehensive policy of internal water
way development, have never faltered
| in pressing upon the country the
needs of such a course on the part
of the federal government and out of
the educational campaign which the
! National Rivers and Harbors congress
has conducted for many years, has
come broader understanding and a
liyelier appreciation of the vast bene-
fits which viii follow ia the wake of
an intelligent development of the
streams with which this country is so
plentifully provided
