precedented volume o f inquiries for
information on Oregon’s agricultur

of the state and Portland Chambers
o f Commerce, including a list of
10,000 nameg turned over by the
northern
transcontinental railway
lines, the largest number received
at one time.
These inquiries came to the
railroads in response to their North
west advertising carried in national
publications. Each o f these 10,000
eastern and middlewestern people
as well as the thousands who write
directly to the land settlement de
partment, receive a personal letter
and package o f Oregon literature.
Among those who have recently,
arrived in Oregon to select farm
tracts was Emil G. Minder, a civil
engineer, o f Stayton, Minnesota,
seeking two or three thousand acres
capable o f being dyked or drained.
Representing a group o f men with
capital who have been prominent
in the development o f lands in Iowa
and Minnesota by drainage, Mr.
Minder has been directed to various
tracts o f river bottom land which
are suitable for colonization pur
poses.
