THOUSANDS OF EASTERNERS ARE

Plan Suggested by c. E. Arney on How
to Get Them to go via the Pacific
Northwest

Il hope Idaho farmers who. are ac-
customed to raising products of the
soil for show purposes will plant, cul-
tivate and grade; spray, thin and pack
better than ever during the coming
spring, summer, and fall" said C. E
Arney, western industrial and immigra-
ton agent of the Northern Pacific
who was in the city from Spokane Sat
urday night.
1915 should be very happy year
for immigration work with the people
of the Pacific Northwest states. The
Panama-Pacific exposition will attract
many men and women this way who
would not otherwise see or know OF
our country.
while you are on a branch of the
Northern Pacific railway, every pas
senger and immigration agent through
out the east, where intended tourists
are now being routed to the fair, is
explaining to each prospect that the
Palouse and Lewiston branch from
Spokane to Lewiston can be used with
out additional cost; either going or
coming.
while products of the soil, to be
used for exhibit purposes through our
immigration department in the east,
or as part of the Idaho exhibit at
San Francisco; are potent factors, AMI
the ensuing year should be grown to
the point of perfection; their prepara-
ton and donations for show purposes
are but a small part of the endeavor
we must all put forth in the cam
paign of 1915 for settlers.
''The people of Idaho, Montana,
Washington, and Oregon have $3.50
differential to overcome from Chicago
points to San Francisco
Here is real work to do. This con-
stitutes a handicap which we must all
strive to overcome.
"Organized commercial clubs are
invited to participate but they are not
to be alone in this struggle for set
tiers The citizenship of these four
states have the intelligent, resource
full and Industrious assistance of such
railway organizations as the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern, Milwaukee,
Oregon Washington Railway and Nav
gation company and the Oregon
Line.
For weeks past travelling agents of
and passenger depart
nents of all these roads throughout
he east have been in the thickest of
he fight for this travel both going
md coming; but at least going or
coming And these eastern represent
atives are full-grown men, skilled in
he business or soliciting passenger
raffic. Moreover, they are organized
md as they acquire information of
hose who intend to go to the fair, they
risit them with the story of the Pa
,ific Northwest and endeavor' to send
hem this way.
"Co-operation with these agents in
eader of this paper can join in this
Most of us have some eastern
riend, or acquaintance whom we
now is intending to visit the fair. Do
ot hide your light under bushel,'
ut take your local agent into your
onfidence that he may report the
raveling prospect to his eastern
raveling agent and thus we can la
or to the end that more people will
ee our country for we can all accom-
lish more by actually showing our
ountry to strangers than in any other
ray. People who have Travelled and
other countries will agree
18th me that Latah county and Moscow
ill stand the test of inspection. You
ave the elements of which you may
ell be proud and you should, and will,
isplay real loyalty to your country
Y cooperating with every legitimate
gency to bring here added settlers
ith money, skill, energy, and all the
,nstituents which go to make up an
,tractive citizenship.
'sLet us all join in this interesting
ampaign to bring a respectable Pro-
,rtion of the multitudes who shall at
nd the Panama-Pacif1c fair this way,
ther on their journey out OF their
turn homeward."
