heart of the region from which
the homeseekers come.

given one coach in which TO carry and
exhibit display Of products and liera-
turc that will properly advertise its re
sources and advantages.

that the remarkable migration Of set
tiers during the last few years. both

rected effort on the part of those inter,
ested in those sections. Approaching
the fact that it is time for the west to
follow the example so forcibly demon
strated both in Canada and in the south.
the officers of the Western Development
association have decided to waste no
more time, but will take steps to iuaugu-
rate their campaign for the west. first
by means OF the train, and later by
other methods.
