Mr.. Mcintosh was followed by Tom
Hill of the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce, who told of some of the plans
they have in Seattle, for building up
our state. Thev spent S65, 900 in ad-
vertising, to which they had $4,000
replies. Eight per cent of this num-
ber expressed desire to locate in the
State of Washington. After Mr.. Hills
remarks we adjourned for the after
noon, so that we might take the trip
to Lewiston Hill. through the very
heart of the Palouse Country. When
we arrived at the top of the hill and
looked down upon Lewiston, on the
Clearwater, and across the Snake riv-
er into Clarkston, we decided we
wanted to go down into Lewiston and
see the S500000 hotel they had just
completed. 1t sure was a marvel for
small city. They are proud of it
and it is well they should be. The
climb back up the ten-mile hill with
a maximum grade of per cent was
enc long to be remembered.
On our arrival at Pullman we at
tended the banquet given by the Pull

settlers into your community as pos
sible, and by so doing we will help the
whole state.
