As the only official railway repre-
tentative of the Northwestern United
States and Canada, the Northern Pa
cific railway has on exhibit at the
International Dry Farming Congress
one of the best demonstrations of
what an advertising railway is doing
for the territory and people tributary
to its lines.
A seventy foot N. P. baggage car
packed to the roof with display of
small grains, forage crops and fruits
which were grown this year by the
new farmers of the northwest country
portray to the visitor the wonderful
productiveness of the states of Mime
sofa, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon.
These grasses and grains are neatly
arranged in over 100 feet OF sectional
mahogany, dust proof cases, which
form an elaborate background for
Hundreds of people showed their
appreciation of this marvellous dis
play today as they thronged among
the enormous glass jars of processed
fruit and vegetables shown in their
natural size and color, as well as
specimens of sockeye salmon, noun
tain trout, CLAIMS and Olympic oysters
which are famous for their use as
western cocktails.
This display, as has the special
car which the Northern Pacific has
recently shown throughout the state
Of Oklahoma, demonstrates what am
up to date railway is doing for the
advancement Of its territory and the
numerous settlers who are thronging
to the northwest in quest of lands
and conditions where they can make
for themselves homes well worthy OF
the name.
While hundreds of people are flock
Ing to the northwestern part of the
western hemisphere, 1t is the endeav-
or of the Northern Pacific to be of
assistance in locating these people in
q congenial climate and in a place
where they will become prosperous
and Industrious citizens of the United
States.
This exhibit is manned by a corp
of representatives who are thorough
ly familiar with the soils, land values
and climatic conditions throughout the
northwest and an earnest inquirer
will find some forty pieces of attrac
tive and authentic literature descrip
tive of the various sections, which
is free for the asking.
"The Northern Pacific, through its
system of lectures and displays"
says o. l.. Stark, immigration agent
for Kansas City, "has interested a
great many people who are eager to
take up farming, fruit growing and
dairying as well as cattle raising in
the northwest, and has assisted them
in finding suitable locations at points

the benefits of the exceptional educa
tional facilities and social privileges |
of this northwestern empire.
A thorough inspection of this ex
hibit should convince any man who |
is DESTROYS of finding a home of the |
wonderful opportunities afforded in
this territory and we have the aSSur- |
ance of the men in charge of the |
display that any man who is a work
er and willing to put forth reasonable
efforts will find this effort well re-
paid and build for themselves sub
stantial homes. The representatives
of this display are on duty here to
serve the people and appreciate the
effort of all anxious inquirers.
