In Interest of Immigration.

u. w. dlUUdTUs REPRESENTING eho
Sunset Magazine, published in San
Francisco by the Southern Pacific
Railroad, was in Corvallis yester-
day.
The Sunset Magazine has for the
past three years devoted its inter
ests to the building up of Califor-
MIA and during that time, was the
means of bringing 139,S45 settlers
to that state. During that time
the magazine has increased from
80 to 2O8 pages, and adapted as
it is to the interests of the Pacific
Coast it is an invaluable means Of
interesting prospective Eastern i'm
migrants and turning them toward
the state it advertises.
The Sunset Magazine will now
turn it's attention toward Oregon.
The Lewis and Clark Fair next
year will prove a great inducement
and a big boom for our state. This
is the object of Mr.. Hibbard's visit
through Oregon. 1t WAS his desire
while in Corvallis to have meet
ing with the Citizens League of
Benton county, but unfortunately
Mr.. Hibbard was unable to meet
but few of it's members.
In conversation with him, Mr.,
Hibbard informs US that the
average newcomer into California
is worth $4,000. Put the number
of immigrants that have settled in
California during the past three
years in Oregon and with the
average amount of wealth and in a
short time our state will rank
among the best in the Union. The
colonist rate adopted by the South
ern Pacific Company is also doing
much toward inducing immigra-
ton. They expect to place copy
of the Sunset Magazine IN the
hands of every settler on the way
to Oregon, and if our part of the
state is advertised, so much the bet
ter for us.
Mr.. Hibbard is native Oregon.
ian, having been born near Salem
His folks are pioneers of At. Mr.
Hibbard left Oregon Is years age
and he says the change for the ad
vancement of Oregon in that time
time is wonderful. The people are
getting out of the old rut, adopting
new tactics toward livelihood, the
former are turning their attention
into new lines. and with the pre-
vailing good prices of farm pro
ducts, and with the absence oi
droughts, insect pests, cyclones
etc., prevalent throughout the East
ern states, those coming from th'
East to Oregon and by energetic
efforts can do no better than set
tling here.

announcement is that the visits of an

the Bismarck district this ruling will
work great hardship to large numbers
of the settlers who have not made

make a round trip Of 200 miles to

men wanted to see it. The train was
to leave the Capital City about l p. M.
A telegram was sent to Jamestown
asking that the train might be held
until after the circus, as it had no
connections to make. The refusal was
prompt. When the farmers excur-
sion went to Fargo, Supt. Burt was
wired from Hazelton asking that the
coach might be taken to Bismarck, to
save seven hours wait for forty-two
people on the prairie at Mckenzie.
A reply to Mckenzie station was
asked. None came. And many Of the
excursionists, rather than wait nine
hours at McKenzie--the east-bound

turn. Not long ago there was Il ball
at HazeltOn. The trainmen offered to
run the engine and coach there free.
The cost for coal used in the engine
would have been less than $40. About

reply to telegram, $50 was asked.
The trip was not made. The N. z.
management is noted for its willing
ness to extend little favors to it's
patrons; and the Record believes that,

tend bit OF courtesy to people along

would take the trouble to wire St.

unitad States in the East.

William Grunow, editor of Die
Grsnzboten of Leipsic, in Analysing the
play of international interest in the far
East, says the late Field Marshal Won
Waldersee, after his return from China,
often talked with his close friends on the
certainty that the Unised States would
play leading role there. His solicit
tude for the future interests of Germany
was also connected with the United
States position in far eastern affairs.
The United States attitude toward
japan is understandable" he writes,
''because of her commercial relations
with Japan and Manchuria, and by rea-
son of her aspiration to the hegemony
of the Pacific. If the United States
should maintain her claims to pre-
dominance in the Pacific she must
reckon with Japan, either as a friend or
an enemy. For the moment the United
States interests require friendly relations
with Japan, taking into consideration
the limited strength of the American
navy and the existence of the British
japanese alliance. For the time this
alliance will check American hegemony
on the Asiatic side of the Pacific" The
editor regards an AmericanBritish-J Jap
anese alliance as a possibility.

Annie Balletti, an Italian woman,
about 40 years old, is locked up in the
county jail at Hackensack, N. j., on a
charge of having murdered Mrs. Mary
Polletia at the home of the latter, IN
Lodi, five miles from Hackensack,
Thursday afternoon. After committing
the murder the Ballet woman walked TO
the Jail at Hackensack aud surrendered
to Under Sheriff Blauvelt. The latter
sent for Justice Heath to question the
woman, but before his arrival word was
received from Lodi that murder had
been committed there by woman.
Later a policeman arrived from LODI,
and on his representations Mrs. Balle:tl
was committed to Jail by Justice Heath.
No statement has yet been made by the
woman. So far as the authorities have
been able to learn, the murder was the
outcome of jealousy. Mrs. Balletti went
to the apartments Of Mrs. Polletia We'd
nesday and tried to enter, but found the
doors locked. She smashed the lock OF
one door and obtained entrance, and
then attacked Polletia with bread
knife. She was filed with rage and
stabbed her victim repeatedly. One
thrust went to the heart, and other
wounds were inflicted in the neck. The
wound in the heart alone was fatal, and
Mrs. Polletia fell dead on the floor.
Throwing away the knife, Mrs. Balletti
rushed from the house and made her way
to the Jail at Hackensack, walking the
entire distance

Woman's Terrible Fall.

Miss Bessie Lazare, stenographer,
aged 90, was fatally injured yesterday
evening by falling seven stories-from
the eleventh to the fourth floor in the
building at Is Dey street, New York.
Her piercing screams as she shot down
the main light shaft of the building Gre
ated a panic among the tenants. She
had been sitting on a windowsill and lost
her balance as she turned to talk to some
one in the room. Her fall was broken at
the fourth floor by wire netting over a
skylight. She was taken to the Hudson
Street Hospital unconscious, suffering
from fractured skull and internal in
iuries. Miss Lazare lived in Brooklyn
and was employed by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.
