The Daily Reporter
A Good Suggestion.
Ed. Reporter:
D. C. IRELAND A CO. PUBLISHERS,
Learning that you are about to
publish a large holiday edition of the
Reporter, and writing up the county,
1 would like to suggest to the people
that now would be a good opportunity
to have these articles put in pamphlet
form and sent to the board of immi
gration. This county has made no
effort towards securing the monied
men who come from eastern and
western states to settle with us.
1 think if a move was made in
the right direction.
that
for
a small sum the publishers of the Re
porter would be willing to make up
these articles in book form and send
them where they would do the most
good. Say each town in the county
order 200 copies at a cost of $5.00 per
100 and I feel sure that the gentlemen
of the Reporter would make a good
job for the county. Let us hear from
the live men of the different towns of
old Yamhill.
