A Letter From Scott Robinson.

Sprague, Wash., Feb 1, "09. Rensselaer Republican, Rensselaer, lad. Find enclosed $1.50 P. O. order fo«* the renewal of my sub, to the • Republican, for through it I receive the news from the old home twice «auh week, I receive the Tuesday issue on the following Frldi/, and the f ridav issue on the following Sunday and am never., disappointed ae they , almost always arrive at that time. I have been interested very; much in the final outcome of the eftor* of the Commercial Club ta land some of the factories that era wanting to get into new locations and I hope that their efforts will orove successful, for once they get m factorv located and the people See the advantages that it brings to the town it will be easier te flet others, to locate there and it Will also not be as hard to get the money necessary to locate them. Keep on boosting; don’t let the propostttta get cooled off, every citizen of the town ought to be a booster and get in the band wagon, for it is evident that Rensselaer will never grow very much larger than it is at present unless there is something in the way of a factory started there, -foil it is about as large as a town can get that depends exclusively on the farmers for its maintenance; and it requires a splendid farming country to maintain a city as Rensselaer is at present, but for a Greater Rensselaer you will have to get the factories to help out the farmers and by the combination of the two it wjll not be many years until the former citizens will have to have a guide when they visit the old home, so everybody get on the band wagon and help the cause along. If you can’t blow a horn hold some ones hat while they do. With best wish-s for the success of the enterpris?, I remain. Yours very truly, SCOTT ROBINSON, Sprague, Wash.
