New blood in the Valley.

The present immigration movement
is bringing new blood into the vii.
lamette valley. The newcomer will
bring new methods, new ideas, re
newed energy to be applied to develop
ing the rich resources OF a region un
excelled upon the globe for its natural
advantages.
The best friends OF the Willamette
are ready to admit that Of late there
has been a lack of energy, a tendency
to let well enough alone, a disposition
to ignore the possibilities, the habit
of going on year after year without
displaying the spirit Of push and vim
that is essential to the upbuilding of
any community.
Nature was very kind TO the VIII
lamette valley. Nature showered up
on her an abundance OF blessings. and
as a result II Is easy "to make n liv
ing" there. But, AZ people have come
from the Eastern states and found
such great possibilities, they have In
iected new life into the Willamette
valley and the future is bright for thai
favored region. II is barely possibl,

DIRECT

REFORM
Endorsed At Wood

In Platforms of Both Parties
in Oregon
Committee at Work Draftir G
a Bill to Pass

Both political parties in Oregon have
endorsed direct nomination of candi-
dates for Office, and several large mass
meetings of citizens OF all parties have
been held to create public sentiment
for this reform. The Woodburn lnde-
pendent has the following report of
the meeting there last Saturday night:
Armory hall was filed last Saturday
night with an assemblage heartily In
favor of the proposed direct nomina-
tion measure The enthusiasm was
inspired by the prominent speakers
present from Salem Hubbard and this
city, and by music by the Woodburn
band
Those who addressed the meeting
were Governor Geer, Judge Boise, Til.
mon Ford. Il. NJ Croisan, W. T. Slat-
er and Colonel E. Hofer, of Salem; j.
b. Dimick of Hubbard aud the chair
man, Mayor S, Tomlinson, and Henry
J. Altnow, of this city, the latter being
one of the two authors of the direct
primary law now in successful opera
tion in Minnesota
Elucidation of the subject impressed
the audience with the Importance OF
the cause, and the placing of the pow
er OF nomination directly in the hands
of the people. E. NJ. Croisan, j. B
DimicS, W. T. Slater and Mayor Tom
linson, legislative candidates I'm at
etndance, pledged themselves to sup
port the direct nomination bill thai
will be introduced at the next session
OF the legislature. A large number o

Catarrh afilictions, unchecked by
treatment, are prone to extend by con-
tinuity of surface along the natural
air passages to the substance of the
lungs, thus causing consumption and
death In this connection it should
also be remembered that the afr
which enters the lungs of catarrhal
patient is every breath OF Il poisoned
by the foul secretion Of the diseased
surface. BY such air the blood can.
not be properly purified, and made flt
