now working on a course of study
in agriculture to be given in the

writing for information with a
view of coming here. Mr.. Case
says that he is receiving and an

ters of this kind every day. They
inquire about the school system,
salaries and school facilities. Not
all are from teachers, though
most of them are. The others
are from heads of families who
desire to move here and want to
know of the opportunities for the

Importance of the

ganizer of the Ocean to Ocean

We left Los Angeles on the even
ing Of the 18th of May, and ar
rived in New York on the 18th

of road followed was the one
adopted by the Phoenix Conven-
tion and later adopted by the

New Mexico from Magdalena to

there we followed the Santa Fe

through the other States to Cum

Through Illinois this road runs
