aside for letter writing purposes. All
residents of the Northwest were urged
to communicate with their friends in
the hinterland, calling their attention
to the opportunities offered to newcom-
ers in this part of the land. The rail-
roads are all granting exceptional colo
mist rates this spring, so it is expected
large movement will be set in motion
in this direction.

Representatives of the Panama-Pa-
cifc Exposition, which will be held in
San Francisco in 1915, have been busy
at Olympia urging the immediate ap-
pointment of commission to prepare
for Washington participation. The rep
resentatives have the Endorsement OF
the substantial interests of the state.
When the A.-Y.-P. Exposition was pro-
jected California was one Of the first
states to give its approval. 1t made
liberal provisions and bequeathed sew
eral buildings to the state university
after the fair was over. 1t is urged the
present Legislature make an initial ap-
preparation, which will enable the
Washington commissioner to have
everything in shape for final action two
years hence.
