regardless OF the nature OF |
the story.
Mr.. Rowell informed the bureau Of
ficials that he had inaugurated fol-
In handling inquiries
from prospective settlers. He proph
esied that owing 10 the lack OF imi-
grafton and the high wages paid to
laborers that the move toward rail
road sections would be somewhat
checked and that while the bureau
should continue appealing to that
class of people, II should also branch
out into other lines.
Through the innumerable lakes
which dot Cloverland, we have a fine
opportunity for new work" said Mr..
Rowell. There are scores OF lakes
with an abundance OF fish which have
never been traversed by boats. IL
seems very possible 10 me that we
might settle these lakes by attract
ing different organizations there. For
instance, feel that II would not be
difficult TO get several numbers OF
different clubs in different cities TO
purchase land about certain lake.
These people will bring others and
the result will be that Cloverland
will attain a high name as Summer
community"
Scores Mall order
President Harmon scored the mail
order houses and suggested a plan
for combating them in his speech at
the afternoon session at which large
number OF Delta county business men
were present.
Mr.. Rowell then spoke on the rea-
sons and working OF the development
bureau. He said that one OF Its pur-
poses was to place Cloverland before
the eyes OF the people at large and
that this could only be done through
publicity.
"The securing OF settlers on farm
ing communities and along lakes was
the second reason for the activities
OF the bureau" said Mr.. Rowell. He
told OF the scores OF tourists who have
come into Cloverland this year as the
result OF publicity OF advertising in
books.
The development OF the manufac-
turing possibilities here through ex-
celent location as to shipping and
power facilities was given as third
reason for the existence OF the bu-
reau.
