When we take into consideration on
the one hand that in many states there
is an enormous expense for CONNER
cost for irrigation, while in still others
distance to the market destroys all
profits in crops, and on the other hand
there are many special crops common
to upper Wisconsin, and not included
in the above, that yield handsome re-
turns, when these facts are taken un-
der consideration, we begin to realize
what we have in the undeveloped land
of Wisconsin.
A few years ago the undeveloped
lands of upper Wisconsin were gener-
ally deemed worthless. They were so
treated by the eastern press, espe-
cially the magazines that then were
looking for the material upon which
to base their lurid articles. Nowhere
in the Federal agricultural department
could there be found man who would
say good word for this great region
am glad to have had part in chang
ing this condition. Today we are get
ting good words from the eastern pub
LEGATIONS. A recent publication under
the authorship of a member of the
Federal agricultural department gives
a description of the opportunities in
all the states and Wisconsin leads all
the rest. Everywhere people are look
ing tQ. WISCONSIN as the place for agri-
Icultr ssasssg sasion.
But tnis' is a time OF commercialisnn
and land settlement is no exception.
Concerns in ell parts of the country
are appealing for patronage. Great
railroads are making their greatest en-
deavor to settle the vacant lands along
their lines in the west and south. Many
states are making large appropriations
many times larger than Wisconsin
so that many homeseekers go to other
regions who would have done much
better to have come to Wisconsin. If
we are to get the people we should
have for the more complete develop
ment of the state, we must enter the
competition aggressively.
AS the Wisconsin Advancement as
ISOLATION is engaged in a campaign for
development rather than for the mere
sale Of land, it is essential that set
tiers shall not be disappointed when
they come to the state. My conception
land in this | am supported by my SUI
perior officers) is that we must con-
vince, not merely influence, the people
who are to be the farmers of upper
Wisconsin. We must provoke inquiry
on the substantial phases of the stu
alton, and to do so, we put forth the
following questions:
Why does Wisconsin grow larger
crops on the average than other
states?
Why does Wisconsin sell more high
priced seed grains than all other states
combined?
Why has Wisconsin more dairy cows
than any other state?
Why is the dairy industry increas-
ing in Wisconsin faster than in any
other state?
Why does Wisconsin capture more
prizes in national contest than any
other state?

MCCOY HONORED
AT BANQUET
Nearly Hundred Friends Of Local Lum-

Idaho Wednesday Evening
GAVE TOKEN OF THEIR ESTEEM
jolly Company Spend Pleasant Hours
at Banquet Board

Probably no other citizen of
Bonners Ferry has ever been
honored in more elaborate manner
than was l.. R. Mccoy, assistant
manager of the Boomers Ferry
Lumber company who leaves soon
for Minneapolis, at the farewell
banquet given for him at the Hotel
Idaho Wednesday night which was
attended by nearly hundred
people composed of the business
men of the community and the en-
ployes of the lumber company.
The occasion was characterized by
the sincerity of the regrets ex-
pressed on every hand that the
community should lose Mr.. Mccoy
as one of its citizens and the evil
dent we'll wishes of the assembly,
for the guest of honor in his new
location.
Don Lawrence was master of
ceremonies and in this capacity
proved that he was the right man
in the right place. With the toast
masters invitation to fall to" the
banqueters proceeded without seq
ond urging to test the ability of
the chef 1--WE understand it was a
cheffess) of the Hotel Idaho
kitchen. Full justice was done
the splendid repast. The doubters
can get particulars from Mr.. Buh-
row. Anyway the delicacies were
!: many, were plenty and were
served with dispatch.
When the clouds of cigar smoke
were sufficiently heavy the toast
master called upon Major Walker
, to express the sentiments of assem-
bley. The Major pleaded that on
J account of an overcrowded capacity
and by reason of having been di-
, verified on the way to the banquet
, he could hardly expect to retain
the interest of his audience. This
was all bluff for the Major out
did himself in a straightforward
heart address in which he en-
: deavored to he serious but from
, which he could not brush all the
, little flakes of wit and humour for
which he is noted.
F. A. Shultis was called upon
for story and delegated the honor

= great hit with one of his French
| Canadian narratives.
DIR. Fry presented the guest of
honor with fine walrus travelling
bag, offering the gift on behalf of
S the banqueters as token of their
= respect and esteem.
E Music was furnished during the
evening by the Utopia Orchestra.
D Messrs. Jackson and King rendered
S vocal solos which pleased and
which were roundly encored.
