The whole plan of the North western Development League and its land show has two sides from a Minnesota standpoint and only one side from the position of any other state in the league. By bringing into one of the great cities of our state the most com prehensive exhibits of the pro ducts of states west and north west of us, it is certain that a large number of our own people will be attracted in a legitimate way to go on into Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana or the Dakotas. According to the man agement, about 100,000 people will visit the show. The same authority frankly admits that 80,000 or more of these visitors will be MinnesJtans. It would appear then that the Northwestern Development Lea gue is bringing an enterprise to St. Paul to take Minnesotans from this state and deprive us of their wealth and the benefit of their labor. But Minnesota busi ness men are broad-minded. The number who might move away if we had no land show will be lessened by the good exhibit which the State of Minnesota will make, and many of our peo ple will return to their homes convinced that after all the North Star State contains opportunities in agricultural and industrial lines fully equal to those in states be yond.

St. Paul, Minne apolis and Duluth are great mar kets. They sell the necessities and luxuries of life to the peo ple in the seven other states rep resented at the land show, and the same markets stand ready to to buy the products of this vast territory. That the land show will result in many families go ing into these other states is ad mitted by those who know best the results of such enterprises. But the people who go from Min nesota still remain customers of the St. Paul, Minneapolis ana Duluth markets. Those who are influenced to go into the Western states from Wisconsin, Illinois Tnwn. Michigan. Indiana ana Ohio, also become customers o nnr Minnesota markets for the first time. How much better it is to lose a man and his family with the nrmimulated wealth of years to one of the states in the Wes than to have the family that has made its wealth in Minnesota sel the farm in this state and re move to the South or to Canada, where they are largely lost to our markets. Taking up a piece of land and buildincr a home on it, deyeloping an industry, open ing up a mine, or otherwise mak inc the natural resources of the West available, a man who goes into the territory represented in the Northwestern Development Leatrue remains 'our man.' or, in a better sense, 'our friend.' Go incr into any other part of the American continent, his wealth and his efforts are lost to the state of Minnesota and its mar kets. Therefore, if we cannot keep all our citizens in the state and get more to come, it is better to locate those who must move in our trade territory and replace them with people from states east of us who are not now buy ing nor selling in our markets. The whole land show proposi tion resolves itself into this: Minnesota is going to keep many people in the state and satisfy them with their present lot by making a good showing of pro ducts at the land show. We are going to lose many to the states beyond us which will be able to show opportunities which we can not snow, or present tnem in more attractive form. But, on the other hand, we are going to gain many people from the states east, as a large number will come here as a result of our exhibit and will take the place of those wno leave, 'men we are going to add population and wealth to the territory which looks back to the cities of Minnesota as its market. Taken as a whole, Minnesota is fortunate in being connected with the movement. This is true for many reasons, among them being that people in the East are of the opinion that our state is one already highly developed agriculturally, one of the old states, and they are not expect mg opportunities here which really exist. The fact that Min nesota is joined with states known to be ripe for a new era of pioneering puts our state into a class where we really belong; wnere we will be understood to have as many opportunities for settlers as any other state in the Northwestern Development Lea gue. j CENTRAL OHECON j I Well Drilling Co.l ARTESIAN AND SURFACE WELLS DEPTH GUARANTEED ESTIMATES FURNISHED INQUIRE AT PIONEER OFFICE MADRAS, OREGON Shamrock TOMMY McCORMACK, Prop. titill In Suspense.
