Get Together and Boost.
1t Pays. Says Gerrit Fort

Nr. Ysc-y- -rn9l Is easy. AS the state
grows, so do we 1t is only by the
closest cooperation between railroads
and people that either can become
prosperous Our interests are so in
terwoven that separate them and they
are so weakened that the fabric which
has been built up falls.
Values Come With Population.
Increased land values come from
settlement and building up, and with
these increased values come heavier
crops, and it is from these heavier
crops that we derive our profit, for
we haul them to market The farm
ers are the backbone of commerce
and commerce is the backbone of the
railroads, for without tonnage the
railroad must go out of business. And
without the railroad the farmers and
their towns and villages become mere
isolated human beings and communi-
ties who live but do not prosper
And that is why we are spending
more than 81 ,200,OGO to tell the people
about Kansas and the rest of the
Wes-. We know that even a con-
sentative statement Of the truth will
e nvince, ana that they will come.
an SO we will profit from their profits
in the fut6re years.
Coburn Tells of Movement.
In an article in a farm paper re
Gently F. D. Coburn, secretary of the
Kansas department of agriculture,
SIS:
1T cannot be gainsaid that condi-
tiOns among the poor in the over
crowded cities are deplorable, and

pied lands where the soil would give
them subsistence and the ample

and the Western Land Products Elk
position held at Omaha" continued
Mr.. Fort. The people of the west
and South joined hands to startle the
East with a display greater than any
thing of its kind ever shown before,
and it succeeded. And not only did
these shows, which more than $4,000
people paid admission to see, open
their eyes, but it opened our eyes as
well to the land hunger of the people
of the cities Many of these had come
from farms in the hopes of lettering
their conditions. They were sons OF
large families, and they knew there
was small chance of them ever own
ing more than a fraction of the pros
porous farms which their fathers man
aged, and so they had sought the
cities in the hopes of making more
money
kansas hadn't then fully realized
the great good which would come
from taking advantage of these expo
sitions, and so there was no organized
move, or community spirit shown, TO
make a showing OF the states won
derful resources, but the Union Pa
cific knew what Kansas could do. and
we TdllTOdU peOplc up Jul
to show the results and we did.
Gather Products for the Show.
I'VE sent out trained men into the
country and they gathered the best
of the farm products to place in the
Union Pacific's Kansas BOOTH and
that booth attracted more attention, l
think, than any other one of the shows
be cause it was a striking reminder
that Kansas is not q failure, but is
one of the most prosperous states N
our country. We not only gathered
these products, but we carefully
packed them in refrigerator cars and
then carried these cars, free of all
cost to anyone except ourselves, to
Chicago and Omaha That is one
way in which we will spend a good
part of this great advertising appro-
priation. 1t is to go for the good, not
only of the railroad, but of the state
AT the Kansas lectures alone,
where trained speakers told of the
wealth of the soil, 1900 men and
women heard the addresses. az the
skeptical were convinced. Men with
comptometers stood at the doors of
the lecture halls and counted them as
they entered. The results have been
s. own in a practical way, for hun
dreds of city men, wage-earners, have
turned their backs on the narrow
streets and the lcramped houses or
flats, and turned their faces toward
Kansas, where they plan to build
themselves new homes
Il have had men ask me Why does
the Union Pacific do this p - conticss<-s
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1911-06-10

Seventy-five million dollars are to
be expended within the next five years
to give the people of Kansas and
other parts of the West the best that
it is possible to give them in the way
of railroad equipment and track The
announcement of the appropriation of
this immense sum by the Union Pa
c1fc railroad company startled the
world, and particularly that part of it
which lies in what is known as Union
Pacific country. But the Union Paci-
fic had still another thrill up its
sleeve for the public. and Gerrit
Fort, passenger traffic manager of the
system, sprung this when he an
nounced that the greatest sum ever
appropriated in a lump for a similar
purpose was to be spent for advertis
ing the advantages of the country
through which the Union Pacific oper-
ates.
I'VE shall spend $1,000, 900 in adver-
Using the advantages of Kansas and
the rest of our country beyond the
Missouri river" said Mr.. Fort. I'VE
will show to the rest of the world the
wonderful resources of our country
and Will disprove the old lie, that
Kansas is a mortgage-ridden state
and VIII show that instead of that it
is commonwealth in which the peo-
PIE do not have to plaster mortgages
in order to buy automobiles and ether
advantages which the jewellers in the
cities have SO long considered their
own especial property.
Startle East with Display.
Chicago, Omaha and a great part
of the East woke up last year at the
great expositicns of products and facts
shown by the United States Land &
Irrigation Exposition held at Chicago

space, sunshine ana rcsh Dr:..s
health is pretty nearly ideal
| Normal and natural emigration from
town to country is a wholesome anG
healthful movement, all the time tC
be nationally encouraged"
Cne of the great purposes of the
land shows in Chicago and Omaha is
to relieve just such crowded condi
tons, by settingN before the people
the advantages to be gained by ex
changing a salaried position, which
gives merely a home for the time be
ing and provides little for the future
for a farm, fresh air, sunshine, health
and prosperity. The railroads are do
ing much to aid this move
I'VE want the people of Kansas to
be prosperous, for in their prosperity
lies our gain" said Mr.. Fort recently
in discussing the plans of the Union
Pacific. Government statistics show
US that six-tenths of the people who
move West to take up farms come
from the vicinity of Chicago. When
we looked into the plans for last
years land show we discovered that
in the Far West and in the South the
community spirit had a strong hold,
but that in Kansas and G. few other
states there was no concerted move
to take advantage of this opportunity
to tell of the states advantages. And
that is where we stepped in. We
drew on our advertising appropriation
and set to weak and the work paid.
intensified Farming Is Best
Intensified farming is the farming
of the future, and the man who will
devote his time and energy intelli-
gently to the problems of his land will
reap the reward in increased crops
greater profits and a heavier bank
account Until the underground flow
of water was discovered in Western
Kansas it was thought that the land
there was good for little except graz
ing. To-day that land, which then
could have been purchased for less
than 81 an acre, cannot be bought for
less than 500 to 5000 an acre. Diver
sifed farming is now generally prac-
ticed. and bZ-proper crop rotation the
results are little short of amazing.
In dairying alone, Kansas takes a
high rank There in in the state now
approximately 10000 mich cows,
and they bring to their owners in the
course of a year 100000 in round
numbers. The amount really is larger
than that, but I have not the exact
figures and prefer to understate them
rather than go over.
In the 1910 figures. which just re-

TO DISSOLVE COMPANY.
An End of Famous Keith Proctor
Theatrical Controversy.

Portland. Me, July 27.-With the ex-
ception of the awarding of the Fifth
avenue theatre in New York. the con-
trovcrsy in the courts between B. F.
Keith and F. f. Proctor was brought
to an end today when it was agreed
that the corporation known as the
Keith & Proctor Amusement Co.
should be dissolved. All theatres con-
troleG by the company are to revert
to their original owners, except the
Fifth avenue and Justice George E.
Bird of the supreme court is to deter
mine to whom that shall be awarded.
Pending his decision the management
of the theatre is to be entrusted to F.
NJ. Albee.
BY the terms of the agreement the ed
street, the 5Sth street and the 18th street
theatres go To Mr. Proctor and the
Union Square and Jersey City theatres to
Mr. Keith 1t was stipulated that the
lease of the Harlem Opera house should
be sold to the highest bidder, only Mr..
Keith and Mr.. Proctor to bid. and the
proceeds therefrom to become part of thu
assets of the corporation. This theatre
was subsequently bid in by MIR. Keith.
The receivership of Mr.. Proctor and
Sydney B. Larrabee of the Portland,
which was decreed in February, was va
Gated by the court and Aug. was fixed
as the time when the arguments should
be made on the question of the posses
sion of the 9Th Avenue theatre.
