"Oregon is not getting the box
car immigrant, the man who
comes with his implements and
farm stock and gets right onto
the soil," said Louis W. Hill, the
Carrie Away Fences, future chairman of the executive
board of the Hill railways this
morning, when discussing de
velopmcnt progress throughout
the Northwest.

But now the Oregon immigrant
as a rule comes in the Pullman.
He may stick and he may not.
He is not close enough to the
soil. But Montana and Idaho are
getting hordes of the box-car
men.
"Why? Well, because you are
not getting hold of him; you are
not interesting him. You have
to show him something in con
nection with the soil, give him
opportunity to get onto the soil,
and stand by him Jwhile he is
mastering the problem. We
need that fellow out here badly
Mr. Hill is filled with enthusi
asm lor the luture of this part
of the country, but suggests that
more be done directly to get
hold of tho farmer. Replying to

They have little bearing. Father
is boss. It matters little what
offices we hold, we go on doing
about the same work all the
time."
In a jocular vein, the prospec
tive chairman of the executive
committee"said:
"I do not know whether I will
have any office. I have not been
on the payroll for awhile. They
may give me father's salary as
chairman of the board, which is
nothing. I guess I will get some
position in due course of time,
when we get around to adjusting
things."

These delegates which have been
added to the Taft list, give the

nomination.
