"The vast Increase of Inquiries from
people seeking homes and employment
In the northwest, together with In
formation contained in communlcar
tlona received from Immigration agenta
of' the railroads. Indicate that there
will be several trains come to Spo
kane every week within the next few
months, taking advantage of the low
colonist rates, which went Into effect,"
said L. Monroe, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, In an inter
view. "Illustrating the growing Increase
of requests for Information, the rec
ord kept by the chamber of commerce
of the number of Inquiries received
and answered shows that In January
the total was 1270, while during Feb
ruary the total was 2312, a gain of
1042.
"In January inquiries came from
every Mnt from Delaware, and
from alt the territories except from
Alaska and Hawaii. Inquiries were
also received from Canada, England,
Germany, Holland, Mexico, Panama.
Australia, Argentina, Belgium and
France.
"Among the states the record for
January shows Massachusetts in the
lead with 201 Inquiries, Illinois In
second place with 91 inquiries; Iowi;
third with 85; Minnesota fourth will
"73, and New York next in order with
72.
"The majority of the Inqulrlet
i'ame from the middle western states
the greatest number from that sectlor
being from Indiana, Kansas and Ne
braska. From Canada the largest
number came from British Columbia
and Albertu.
"These were principally from peo
ple seeking homesteads on Indian res
ervations or farm lunds in Spokane oi
Stevens counties.
"During February Illinois led In the
number of Inquiries with 212; Iowa
was next with 173, followed by Min
nesota with 116, and Pennsylvania
with 104. There was an Increase o.
four in January over the inquiries re
ceived from the Canadian provinces In
the preceding months, and in addition
there were two from Switzerland, two
:rom Ireland, three from Holland
.our from England and one from
Porto Rico.
"With regard to the class of inquir
ies those received In B'ebruury show
i greater diversity than In any other
nonth for several years. The home
stead locations, farm lands and oppor
tunities for employment as common
.aborvr, in clerical positions und a,
farm hands. There were a great many
:nqulrles made for small fruit tracts.
"Among the peculiar inquiries wat !
ne from a California man, who want- ,
Ivd to know If we hud fleus In the In
.and empire. Another man wanted t- j
.now what advantages this section hat
-o offer to a coffin factory. Sevora:
.isked Information concerning ft loca- 1
ilon for a bank, while others wanted
.o learn of a good opening for dry
oods stores, novelty stores, an orna
nentttl Iron fuctory, a flatiron plant
ind a small cracker factory; one man i
leslres to start a factory for the man
ufacture of wooden legs, and a Min
nesota man is seeking a location for'
.i hog farm. An Inquirer In the mld-j
lie west is looking for a tract of 7000 j
acres for a colonization scheme, and
three Nebraska men want locations for
the optlcul business.
"A very large per cent of the peo
ple announced In their communica
tions their intention to take advan
tage of the low rates which is now In
effect. In addition to answering these
letters the Chamber of Commerce has
distributed 300 pieces of literature In
Massachusetts, BOO In Minnesota and
450 In Wisconsin through railroad and
ImmlKrutlon agents. Orf the Inland
Umpire excursion, under the auspices
jf the Chamber of Commerce, 8800
pamphlets and books we'e distributed
ihrough Oregon and California."
