dent home builder to realize his
worthy ambition.
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. Minnesota has other interests

to consider. 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.
