It will show many men who have money to invest some wonderful opportunities.
It will show you a new and but partially developed field, with possibilities you never dreamed of.
Many noted men have expressed their opinion after a visit in the west, and the following is but one of a score
like it:
J. E. Defebaugh, editor of the American Lumberman, says in a letter to his paper:
"The Pacific Northwest makes a wonderful appeal to every visitor, and as he tarries the
appeal brings conviction. It is a marvelous country. It is a land of living waters, of golden soil,
of mineral wealth beyond comprehension; of forests which will bless mankind when other lands
are desolate; a laud of mountain, plain and valley; a land where continent and ocean embrace
each other, and of a people great in intellect, energy .endurance and kindliness. Its people I They
were chosen by the most rigid processes of natural selection from all the conquering races that
have made America great. There, in that golden Northwest, in a climate which, without the
harshness of the North or the enervating' softness of the South, encourages human effort and
- assists in accomplishment, these peope are building an empire. They have harnessed the
streams for power; they have poured them overlhe plains which they have converted into fruit
ful fields and gardens; they are yrestling from the earth its mineral wealth; they are converting
its forests into forms of utility and beauty, and at the same time preserving them from destruc
tion; they are building schools and colleges and are living like princes of the earth. , The Bible
' vision of i every man dwelling under his own vine and fig tree is realized there, where every man
may have a. snow-capped mountain peak in his back yard, and where every bodily need and. indi
, vidual want may be gratified. The natural wealth of that country is great, and great are its
achievements in every lino of human effort; but greater and better than all are its people them
selves a chosen race, .growing not only in numbers but in all the accomplishments and graces
which make a people mutually useful and happy."
' '
Such a land will attract thousan3s in the next few years and the man who visits the Western Land Products
Exhibit next January will find myriads of opportunities to make his moncv bring him best returns; for the untold
resources of the weSt arc barely scratched as yet, and think of the thousands of undeveloped acres in the states of
Colorado, Wyomig, UtalQldaho, Oregon, Washington and California, and the business opportunities among a
people who always secure large returns for' their crops.
The Omaha Bee and
The Twentieth Century Farmer
with to convince the people about the wondciful possibilities of the West, and they are backing up thr Western
Land-Products Exhibit because they realize that an exhibit of this kind will show people more of the real truth about
this wonderful section than any amount of pure talk; and their real interest in the upbuilding of this empire is due
to the fact that they realize that it is upon the West that Omaha must depend for its future progress and greatness.
