oregon must be up and doing to get
her share and keep progress with the
development of the west. All the peo-
pie who come are not wealthy or desir-
able perhaps, but that is unavoidable.
We believe the conditions are able
to Oregon being settled up with the
best class of immigrants who come
west.
We haYe investigated all the poin ts
aud conditions carefully and propose
to go ahead in the lines of legitimate
newspaper work to induce immigra-
tlon to the Willamette valley. We
shall not wait for others to organize
aud act but we propose to cover the
territory completely as one small and
cheap newspaper can be made to do it.
We believe the time and condition is
favorable and THE JOURNAL will be
found in the van supplying reliable in
formation to the people who are COM
ing here to seek homes. The JOURNAL
will not go into the real estate business
nor into the booming business. But it
will go extensively into the business of
inducing immigration TO the best re.

hundreds of thousands are casting
about to find home in land where
they will at least not suffer for the ne
cessities of life and where industry will
make good homes,
The first special edition of The JOUR.
NAL goes east Saturday and it goes di-
rectly to those most interested in the
western tide of immigration. All must
see the folly Of scattering newspapers
at random and among persons who
have no thought of coming west. Ore
gon has had plenty of such advertising
at the worlds fair and in other ways.
Our aim is to get sample copies into
the hands of those who are actually
coming, or preparing to come to the
Pacific coast. We can do this at very
low price and propose to do so entirely
at our own expense. The JOURNAL
will trust to the merit of its own enter
prise and the merit of our country, to
which we seek to bring immigrants, to
recompense US fully. Increased sales
of newspapers and increased advertis
ing by those having lands to sell, will
defray all expense of onr undertak ng,
At least once week we shall send out
immigration editions of from two to
ten thousand copies at our own ex-
pense. Our NEW YEARS edition will
be especially large and attractive in
this respect. There has been great
deal of money thrown away on adver-
Using the resources Of Oregon in news
papers and printed matter. Our sole
aim is TO get into direct communication
with those who actually intend COM
ing to the Pacific coast. This will be
done systematically and thoroughly
and on an extensive scale. To this end
we solicit the co cooperation Of all who
may be interested In bringing TO Ore
gon good results out OF the condition
before US. We want your cooperation
and suggestions TO make this cam
paign for the development OF Oregon
effective. We want every reader Of
this paper to assist US in reaching thell
friends and acquaintances who want
reliable Information about our country
