To begin at the beginning: When the third Chicago Land Show was being planned the Union and Southern Pacific railroad companies began to plan also how they could attract their share of the hundreds of thousands that would visit the show, to their territory. Many things were discussed the first being the Idea of booths in which to display the products grown along: the lines of the railoads. "That won't do," said Gerritt Port and Charles 8. Fee, passenger traffic managers of the Union and Southern Pacific railroads. "We've got to have something different this year. Last year we showed what our farmers can do. This year we want to show what J. of us can do." Plan to Spend a Fortune. 'And right there began the plans for spending this fortune. After a dozen different suggestions had been was evolved Jh Mirashed, oyt thee fcne used, that of having two moving picture palaces built Into the Coliseum at Chicago and there showing stereop-tico- n and moving pictures not only of farm, life but of town and city life along the Union and Southern Pacific lines. Twenty thousand dollars was the sum decided upon as necessary to make the display.

Tlilrty different wen and women from different parts of the country sent out the call for their particular sections; each presenting in his or ber own way the advantages to be derived from residing there. Governor's day at the Land Show was November 28, and on that day Pacific companies the threw open their theaters to the governors of ten western states, welcomed them there, and it was there that, the messages of these states were told to Chicago. .Oherdjstinguished Tlslt-or- s yirT'lnvlted". and"lthey aJso talked tfi thousands. On the special days of the states represented at the exposition the programs were given, as a usual thing, In one of these theaters. Men stood at each door of the two theaters all day long with counters In their hands, and every person that entered was ticked off on the little watch-likmachines they held. At the end of each day the total was taken from each, and (hey were let back to zero again ready for the next day. In this way accurate count was kept of tbe 155,000 men. women and chil dren who were told tbe message of . the west. Message Stralaht to Hearts "We found that we sent our mes sage straight Into tbe hearts of the land hungry," said an official of tbe railroads who was present during the land show.
