ADVERTISING PAYS OREGON.

While many people are impatient
with the results of advertising Ore
gon, yet the money spent by this state
in publicity during the past three or
four years has brought marvellous re-
turns in the way of settlement and
good citizenship.
The results may not be apparent to
the casual observer, but a close and
painstaking investigation will show
that the constant current of immigra-
ton which is pouring into the state,
is largely the direct result of the wide
advertising of Oregon.
Every letter written to eastern
people bears fruit. Every circular
sent out brings its return. Every
good word spoken by Oregonians in
the east ripens into excellent fruitage.
1t is safe to say that the majority of
the permanent settlers who have
come into the state during the past
three years can trace their first i'm
pulse to come to Oregon to some one
of the various advertising features
sent out by Oregon and Oregon cities.
1t is impossible to measure the re-
turns from advertising in dollars and
cents. II the state gets but one SUBJ
stantial family for every $1,000 ex-
pended in advertising, is not that an
excellent investment? One substan.
tial family located here means a
strong influence reaching into the
east 1t means an endless chain of
friendship, limitless and ever
spreading attraction which will con-
tinue to draw good citizenship to-
ward the state.
AS an illustration Of the outside
sentiment on the results of advertis-
ing in Oregon, the following editor
ial from the Boise Capital News upon
that subject is cheerfully republished.
The News says:
Oregon is receiving the benefits of
extensive advertising Of that state, It
being estimated that 1000 new people
are coming to the state daily to re-
side permanently. More than one

AU TOCRAT OF CRATER LAKE.

mountain climber of Portland. had a
conference with Secretary Hitchcock
Of the U. 6. department of the in
terror, recently, which resulted in
the secretary granting him the ex-
elusive camping privileges about
Crater lake in southern Oregon. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Steele must
not deny camping privileges to any
one Yho might desire to have an out
ing on the banks of the famous lake.
II would seem ut first that Mr.. Steele
had secured sort of corner of the
outing business there, as the right
granted by the secretary (now ex-
secretary is somewhat wide in its
scope. IT includes franchise for es-
tablishing and conducting boat SER

lines leading to the lake, etc.--Salem

GET ACQUAINTED.

Pendleton will welcome the Port
land business mems excursion most
heartily, especially on this "off year"
when there is no political campaign
to actuate the journey.
This can be made a most cordial
and profitable event. Portland should
be better acquainted with the state.
She should understand the resources
and magnitude of the state more
thoroughly, that she may more fully
realize the Importance of the fullest
development of the interior.
This is an immense country east of
the Cascades. To many people who
have lived in Portland for a lifetime,
the size and. Importance of eastern
oregon is but family understood.
1t will be a revelation to many of
the gentlemen who will come with
the Portland excursion to know that
sagebrush land near Pendleton which
three years ago was practically worth
less, is now considered a good bar
gain at 800 per acre. Fruit land
in the irrigated districts pays good
interest on valuation of $3.50 to $500
per acre. Dozens of farmers in this
vicinity have refused 500 per acre
for wheat land and today a good eve
which will shear 10 pounds and drop
lamb in April is worth S. in gold
and very few of this grade of sheep
are for sale.
Alfalfa land in the vicinity of Pen
dleton produces from five to eight
tons of excellent hay per year, worth
So to 81 per ton in the stack. This
same land a few years ago was spurn-
ed by the investor, homeseeker and
speculator and was designated by the
learned professors of our agricultural
colleges as being fit only for jack
rabbits and squirrels.
There has been a magical trans
formation in eastern Oregon and it
will be refreshing to Portland busi-
ness men to get out in the open and
rub against the big, broad, palpitat-
ing state which pours. its golden
stream into their warehouses.

\ PARK AND A LIBRARY.

Pendleton has reached that stage in
her growth when the people abso-
lutely demand something in the way
of public comforts. The paved streets
are response to this urgent demand.
Everybody in Pendleton now delights
in the pavement. How the city man.
aged to do without it so long, is now
one of the wonders.
The same insistent craving for pub
lie comforts and conveniences now
demands a beautiful city park and a
large and upto-date public library.
These features of city life are indis-
pensable. How Pendleton has passed
through all the years of her eventful
history without adding these utilities,
no one can say.
, Both library and park are with
in reach of the city 1t can no long
secure these things. The old ceme-
terry north of the river is absolutely
within the jurisdiction of the city and
can be converted into a park, it is
said by lawyers who have investigat-
ed its legal status.
The foundation for an excellent IL
brary is owned by the Commercial
why it should not be developed into
an excellent public asset.
With a library and a park estab-
lished in this city, there will be a
pleasant and inviting place to which
strangers may be taken and where
the people of Pendleton may enjoy
to the fullest the benefits of organized
society.

that time the crustacean had mani
tested such an inclination to stray that
Captain Mertz put an end to its life
but sent the shell to Mr.. Lee.
While camping at Taneytown pre-
paratory to Meade's advance to Get
tysburg, the turtle crawled into Mr.
Lees tent one night and was prompt
~ captured, but instead of turning 1t
into soup, it was allowed to crawl
away after the initials had been carv-
ed upon its back. Taneytown is IA
miles from Gettysburg, where the
turtle was found, and as that class of
animals is not famed for keeping in
a straight and narrow path, it is prob
able that, many score of miles have
been travelled during the 43 years of
travelling. The turtle was found at
the place where Pickett's famous
charge occurred.
Mr.. Lee intends to bequeath the
shell to some museum together with
an ivory gavel which was used at
Vicksburg by auctioneers in selling
slaves.

Despite the unfavorable weather of
the past few weeks in this county,
spring work is progressing rapidly
and trade in this city and all of the
county towns is excellent. The dry
weather last fall prevented consider
able seeding and causes many farm
ers to rush their work this spring, but
the result at next harvest time will not
be different from the usual harvest
season in Umatilla county. The crop
conditions of this spring are, in fact,
more favorable than usual at this
time, the ground being filled with
moisture.

billion pieces of literature have been
distributed to eastern people relative
to the advantages OF our western
neighborhood and the effect is being
felt in increased population and
wealth.
The state has not had to pay the
expense of this advertising wholly.
the railway companies joining in the
expense and in the distribution of
the literature. No state in the Union,
not even oregon, has the basis for
extensive advertising that Idaho has,
yet but little, comparatively, is being
done in that direction. Neither the
state nor the railway companies seem
to exert themselves as they should
in this direction, with the result that
the growth of Idaho is much less in
proportion to its advantages and re-
sources than it ought to be.

it in the afternoon. The necklace once
deposited there, he hurr:es back to the
house, climbs up to the balcony and
re-eaters his room. He assures himself
that there are no blood stains on him

near the window and sits down to wait
for Drysdales return.
