OREGON, FEBRUARY 10, 1910 10 DEVELOP SECOND Cl IY PELICAN BAY Of I HE SIATE growth is hut In its infancy. The next five years will see thin greatly increased. When It is remembered that in the vast territory lying be tween Canada and Mexico, bordering ou the Pacific Ocean, a comparatively small portion of it Is susceptible to arglcultural development it will read ily be seen that those sections offer ing the most favorable advantages to the farmer and homeseeker will be the ones first to be filled up. From what I have learned Klamath County Is particularly blessed along this line and naturally will receive a greater proportion of this new blood than many other places where conditions are not so favorable. Our firm has been particularly fortunate In the matter of getting in touch with the various sections of the Northwest and we are therefore In a pretty good po sition to pass judgment on various localities as compared with others. In view of this fact I believe Klam ath Falls Is mighty close to the top, if it does not occupy the leading place. "The people here need have no doubt of e future of their city and county, They should get tog<‘her and be <• bunch of boosters, They should learn what they have here and push it along. Unity of action at home is the greatest factor. I find here considerable optimism and prac tically no pessimism and that is one of the best of all the things for :t newcomer to find, With the right spirit and push and energy there is no reason why within the next few years Klamath Falls should not b- the second city of the State.” ♦ • LEADING PAPER OF HOI I'HERN OREGON. ♦ ♦ NO. 45 HARRIS GETS BIG CONTRACT WASHINGTON', D.
