I m We read a whole, lot during the last presidential, campaign 'about the edu cational fampaign that was then pop ularly supposed to be in progress. An eductattonal campaign regarding the west, its soil, climate, and the habits of Its people, is Just now be ing quite fulfilled, its mission is very eppareut when letters such as a: mentioned in yesterday's paper re garding a fabulous valley, are written In sober earnest, by persons of intelli ; gence who are seeking a more en joyable place in which to make their home than they have so far found. We refer to the letter from a resi dent of Kansas, who evidently had teen Informed that there ia a valley In this pHrt of the Northwest .where there are, but a few hundreds of families, with room for loon home steads, to be had from the govern ment for the asking; where 'the sur rounding mountains are covered with the finest of timber, also free to the settler. Vulgarly speaking, the Mter writtr has been given a wrong hunch. Borne 'gazabo has had a pipe dream, r Ywinufactured on r.nd passed t :on T his neichbor. The man who WTote'the letter Is not to blame. Very vague ideas of our country, climate, resources and people exist in certain sections west of the Mississippi, and It Is up to such organizations as our Commercial club to institute tti cam ,jy?ln lt tdut'svion. which shall result iu th dlsseminkllon' of (uithbrative . Information regarding ourselves and our habits. Almost any home-seeker would Rsk about such a locality as this man fce livs to exist: and Vet. if he Is the kind of a settler the west needs and ! desires, he would much rather learn of a valley, such as ours, where he may buy improved farms at reason able prices; where there are towns ud villages, farms and orchards; where there are markets for produce and labor. It is much better that prospective settlers know Just what to expect when they start toward our country than to let them believe fairy tales, with the consentient and certalD disillusionment.
