Geographical Exhibit Train to Promote Northwestern States
A “geography on wheels” will tour 22 cities from St Paul starting November 7 to reach Washington on December 7. Governors from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Colorado, and Wyoming will present demonstrations of state advantages. Western officials will join in St Paul for a conference to form information bureaus about the West. The aim is to curb Canadian emigration by showing Easterners the Northwest’s opportunities and to educate children through school visits.

Commissioners Open Alley in Square No 2&3
District surveyor Hazen led the recommendation to open an alley bounded by Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets Kenyon Street and Park Road Northwest despite protests from nearby property owners. George W. Sensner, US Navy retired chief engineer, opposed the plan noting potential property damage. A petition from local owners followed, while Hazen argued the alley is essential to the block to provide an outlet to an interior alley currently inaccessible to the District.
