To the Homeseeker: 



This pamphlet is intended for the intelligent progressive home- 

 seeker, who, more or less dissatisfied, desires his new home to be 

 surrounded by a bounteous nature and yet not be deprived or have 

 his family deprived of the advantages of an advanced civilization. 

 Such is the section to which we invite the homeseeker's attention. 



Joseph E. Wing, a practical agriculturist, stock-man and writer, 

 well known throughout the agricultural world, recently wrote, after 

 an extensive trip throughout the United States, "In all the long 

 journey I have made, I have never seen anything that seems to me to 

 have the natural advantages for human life and occupation that the 

 Palouse country has. It seems to me that there is the best place to 

 build a stock farm that I have seen on this trip. I never saw land too 

 good for good stock. I was under a cloud while here, sick, tired and 

 worried, yet it could not dim my enthusiasm for the glorious land. 

 Happy is the man born in these fertile hills, if he is alive to his glo- 

 rious opportunities." 



Prof. Mark W. Harrington, for many years at the head of the 

 Weather Bureau of the Agricultural Department, at Washington, D. 

 C, recently wrote, "While there we estimated what population the 

 Palouse countr}' was able to maintain. Our conclusion was that one 

 hundred times as many people could be supported by its soil as now 

 live there. The area is a little less than that of Massachusetts and 

 the population might be greater than that of Massachusetts and all 

 be supported by the soil. There are no trees or rocks to be removed. 

 Put in the plow and then plant the seed." 



The opportunity here for successful diversified farming is not 

 surpassed by an}- section in the United States; we make no exceptions. 

 If the reader is a farmer, he can surround himself here, at a small 

 cost, with fields of great productiveness. If he is a dissatisfied busi- 

 ness man, let him examine our "want" column. There are opportu- 

 nities here promising sure success. It has been thoroughly demon- 

 strated that stock raising, dairying, poultry raising, fruit culture and 

 diversified farming can be conducted here hy men of ordinary intelli- 

 gence and energy with no excuse for failure. Stud}^ the map at the 

 back of this pamphlet, note our shipping facilities, and how we are 

 surrounded by great mining centers, affording right at home a steady 

 and ever increasing market. We ask your careful perusal of this 

 pamphlet. For any other information you may desire, feel at liberty 

 to write freely to 



THE PULLMAN COMMERCIAL CLUB.
