The many friends of Will Odendahl, Jr., will regret that his newspaper venture at Cortez, Colo., cost him a little bunch of money, for which he received a bunch of experience in return.

The Pacific Coast country, in the development of its marvelons civilization, solicits you to journey through that land. The melting snow of the mountains is a magical resource, shaped to ihe genius of electircal and horticultural wizards; those mighty forests that are the last of their kind left standing in this country; there are no such orchards, orange groves or floral landscapes in the world—nor have there ever been. On a tour of the Coast you pass through an empire, where the romance of the Spanish past has been merged v\ith tuc human activities of the new West. See your own country; see the with its fast grow ing wealth, population and intv..,, ;nab:e cities, and learn what a future it may offer to your sous; this five thousand mile journey is a broad education. 1909 offers much to tempt you.
