The expenses of the bureau for the
wear 1904 are as follows.

lOldl
The bureau is working in harmony
with all organizations in the state
which have for their object its settle
mer.t and development, and during
the year have taken great pleasure in
refe rring larties to the several Lewis
and Clark Centennial exposition
boards and committees as we'll as the
numerous promotion clubs and
grange organizations throughout the
city and state.
We believe we are accomplishing
results for which the bureau was Gre
ated: i. e., the satisfactory location
of newcomers into the state, and the
maintenance of an exhibit that rep
resents truthfully the products and
resources of the state,
The bureau could be rendered more
efficient if each county would see
that their own locality were well ad-
vertised, both in exhibit and reliable
information. Eli a@

The health value Of colosed clothes
Is infinitely superior to that Of sable
fabrics. You will find more microbes
to the square inch on dark than on
light garments. Black arrests the
health giving rays Of the sun. It Ia
strange that Nine. la Mode should turn
out to be only the high priestess OF
health In disguise and that the mi
crobes Of Mayfair and the bacilli Of Bel
gravia should be more afraid Of a but
terfiy Of fashion than of sable coated
doctor of medicine.-Chic.

Following is the report of the Ore
gon Information Bureau of Portland,
for the past year.
This institution has grown from
nothing into one of the foremost pub
lie bureaus in the West, in two years.
1t has been the means of locating
several hundred persons in the state.
The detailed report follows:
We have, during the past year. had
some 1855 persons visit the bureau
who have registered with us, also
large number, whose names we were
unable to secure. Total number
registered to date 1880. These
people came from all sections of our
country and quite a number from the
various parts of the world, to learn
of Oregon and its resources. Care
full attention has been given each one
and the facts as they exist have been
set before them in manner to inter-
est as well as entertain, with the sat
isfactory results of securing, in IA
large number of instances, a more
thorough investigation on their part
and with many permanent resi-
dence in the state. "a
Nine separate trips by rail and
otherwise have been made by a rep
resentative of the bureau, organizing
local bureaus or strengthening those
already formed, by holding public
meetings and encouraging them to
renewed efforts. AT the same time
we have been able to secure addi-
tional literature or valuable exhibits
of the various localities, consisting OF
splendid specimens of grains, grasses
fruits, vegetables, woods and miner
ais, also manufactured products.
During the past year we have
been able to secure the names of 4S'
persons whom this bureau has assist
ed to locate permanently in th'
state. Others have failed to inform
us.
We have received 495 letters ant
have written 944.
) Mailed and disposed of over 37,00'
pieces of literature.
The larger number of the peopf
whom we have assisted to locate hav
bought farms or located on govern
ment claims and SO far as we hav
been able to ascertain, are all wei
satisfied with Oregon and have no IN
tention of returning to their forme

big yields are not general in this

DEATH RECORD OF THE PAST WEEK

and before her sister could get to her
bedside, her life had passed out. Th g
suddenness of it all was most shocking
to those of her household but owing
to the lateness of the hour, when most
of the people had retired, the sad in
telligence did not spread until the
next morning. Miss Savin, who with
her sister, Miss Lizzie, kept a millin-
cry store and resided at the corner of
Commerce and Market Streets, had
been in poor health for several months
and had but few days before returnJd
from visit among relatives at Newport
where she hoped she would be bene-
fitted. Despite her impaired health
no one expected the end was so near.
Deceased was daughter of the late
William and Sarah (Allee) Savin and
was born and raised on farm in Ray
mond's Neck. After her fathers death
which occurred in her early life, she
made her home with her sister, Mrs.
Joseph V. Hoffecker, moving with the
family from their farm to Smyrna in
March, 1867, and continuing to make
her residence with them until they re-
moved from this town. It was then
that she and her sister, Miss Eliza
beth opened a millinery store which
they have conducted successfully ever
since. Deceased was a member of
Asbury NJ. E. Church, was interested
in all good movements for the good Of
humanity, and had large circle of
friends who will mourn her untimely
death. She leaves but one sister Miss
Elizabeth Savin, for whom there is
much sympathy. Funeral services
will be held at her late residence to-
morrow, Thursday afternoon at one
o'clock and interment will take place
at Glenwood Cemetery, Presiding
Elder Koons and Rev. j. L. Estlir
officiating.
