You know of the great resources and unparalleled opportunities of this section. You know that, all things considered -no other region
offers quite the same inducements to homeseekers. Climate, beauty of scenery, the storehouses of mineral wealth, ..JJ?
derful adaptability of the soil for various forms of horticulture and agriculture have combined to make here a region of wonderfiJ possibilities
But, the Paciiic Northwest has one great need-PEOPLE! This one word touches the keynote of needed development in every form of
industry, from the farm to the factory. In fact, we have everything but people people who will aid with bram and brawn and money in
the development of the resources of this great Empire. , . . , , , ' n ,
There is now a chance, as perhaps never before, to induce settlement in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon and her sister states are issuing
immense quantities of literature describing the possibilities for the homeseeker who is looking for a larger opportunity and whose eyes are
turned Westward. Seventeen communities have adopted the publicity plan of the Sunset Magazine Homeseekers Bureau and are making
their possibilities known throughout the length and breadth of the land. Through this agency, millions of copies of hteratur e will be sent to
homeseekers. The work of spreading information is being done. What is needed is the personal element, and that must be left to tho&e vho
are vitaUy interested in the development of this section, and who will take the time to write to friends or relatives during the next two
months and urge them to take advantage of the low
ill J
In nJ
These rates are made by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company, jointly with its associated lines, the Oregon Short Line, the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific, for the purpose of inducing settlement in this section. They go into effect September 1, and will contmue
during September and October. From the principal cities of the Middle West the rates will be as follows:
From Chicago $38.00 Kansas City ?30.00 Omaha 30.00
St. Louis . ?35.50 " Council Bluffs $30.00 St. Paul ?30.00
Corresponding rates from all other Eastern points, and stopovers at all points in Oregon, Washington or Idaho. f
In order to attract further attention to the colonist rates, there are being published, in connection with Sunset Magazine Homeseekers
Bureau, upwards of 200,000 copies of folders for the communities mentioned on this page. These folders name colonist rates to the community,
and give carefully prepared information regarding it. Copies can be secured from the secretary of the organization, or from the railroad com
pany. In connection with these colonist rates, and in the added interest regarding the Pacific Northwest, there is offered a great opportunity
for these communities to secure more people and thereby further their own progress and prosperity. This is a direct personal appeal to every in
dividual in these states to help himself. One of the most important phases of this opportunity is that

In other words, if you have a friend or relative in the East whom you wish to bring West, you can deposit the amount of the fare with the agent of the railroad
company, who will telegraph the ticket to the person coming West. This is a great convenience, and should be extensively taken advantage of during September and
October. For further information about the colonist rates, or for literature on Oregon or the Pacific. Northwest, address the
