WYOMING A LAND
OF DIVERSITY AND
PROGRESS SAYS HILL

we are IN receipt OF the Third
Biennial Report of the Wyoming
State Board. of Immigration, 1927
1923.
This report contains a wealth of
Information on the Of the
State OF wyoming and the valuable
work performed by Chas. H. Hill
and the Wyoming State Board Of
immigration under former Governor
Carey.
Although space does not permit US
to publish but a small part of the in
teresting information we find con-
tanned therein, we do print the fol-
lowing introduction to Mr.. Hills re-
port:
With a great area of splendid, till
able land; with al Astounding and
diversified wealth OF mineral re-
sources. unequaled in any other sec
ton OF the United States; with beau
ty as rare and scenery as grand as
can be found in the known world,
Wyoming is indeed a land of divers
ity and progress, possessing at the
close of 1922, greater possibilities
for future development than any
other western state.
Wyoming, located on the Cont
mental Divide, Is so to speak, the
backbone of the continent, with
vast store houses filled with coal, oil,
iron, copper, gold, silver and count
less other minerals, awaiting capital
and enterprise to unlock the deposits
n make them available for the
comfort and convenience OF man.
The fertile soil and inexhaustible
quantity Of water for irrigation in
sures the success of agriculture for
all time to come. The advent of new
people into the state is all that Is
necessary to place these dormant re-
sources prominently before the COM
mercial world. From III almost in
accessible mountains flow the head
waters Of the Columbia, the Missouri,
the Colorado, and the Platte Rivers.
Thus Wyoming Is the fountain head
OF the great streams that find their
way into the Atlantic, the Pacific and |
the Gulf OF California.
In our valleys and or our plains is
ample opportunity for a vast popula-
ton to build homes and develop
farms. Wyoming. eighth In size in
the Union. but greatest Of all in
natural resources, invites the world
to assist in its development and to
share In the prosperity of its people.
Despite the fact that the agricul-
tural and industrial conditions
throughout the nation have been
somewhat shaken, it is gratifying to
know that the prosperity of this
state has been far less affected than
that Of the majority Of the other
states constituting the nation. Wyom-
fng's good name and her reputation
for continued prosperity in the face
Of much depression during the past
two years - her distinguished char
acteristics - sound state finances.
adequate water supply for irriga-
ton, undepleted oil and coal re-
sources. make her the envy Of other
states and the goal of settlers and in
%vestors.
Prospects for the Future
Fol the past decade or more peo-
pie have been crowding into the
cities from the country. Now, how
ever, 1t seems that a movement has
begun which promises to be the
greatest shifting OF population since
the institution Of the automobile. !
The automobile has come within
the reach Of most all people, hence,
- IS creating a demand for new and
better highways, thus opening up
hundreds of thousands OF acres of
heretofore inaccessible land. The
more automobiles purchased and
the more good highways constructed.

more cheap land in the East or
Middle West. The Rocky Mountain
states alone offer the agriculturist
the long sought Eldorado within his
Populations will o stand

Advertising Wyoming
wyoming must go out into the
open market and compete against
other progressive, fast growing
states OF the West and seek recogni-
ton. She must do this in the lace
OF the strongest competition ever
waged In the history OF the state.
Money devoted to ADVERTISING our
mineral and agricultural resources
is money invested In an enterprise
that means new population by the
thousands; II means new capital by
the millions; 1t means prosperity un-
bounded and wealth untold.
We must take advantage OF the
tide that has set in toward the West.
We must invite the better class of
American citizens to come to us and
help with their money and their
Drawn to build within he confines
OF this state a greater and more
magnificent commonwealth.
Never at any time In Its history
has Wyoming received ss much fav-
orable mention ana publicity In the
great newspapers and magazines Of
the United States a. during tho past
biennium. All advertising results
are cumulative In nature. and re-
turns that show = profit do not come
