THE COLON|ST RATES
Thousands Of Fasteners Are
Bound for Oregon.
Low RATES UNTIL OCTOBER 81
Press Readers Should Mark This Ar
ticle and Send Copy of Paper
to Eastern Friends.

Commencing Sunday September /,
and continuing to October 81, the
lowest colonist rates known to trans
continental railway service is effec-
tive. Taking advantage of these ex-
tIemely low rates, every commercial
body in the state is making a su-
preme effort to turn the flood tide of
immigration which the cheap forces
will stimulate within the borders of
Oregon. In many places school child
rem have been organized into CORE
spondence bureaus, and individuals
the state over are taking special pains
to interest some eastern friend or rela-
tive in the Inducements put forth to
bring Oregon to his notice and the
opportunity offered him to come and
investigate for himself, the vast re.
sources the state has in store for the
home seeker.
During these two months tons of ad-
vertising matter and all sorts of liter
ature will food the east. having in
purpose the setting forth of Oregon's
advantages. but after oil of it has
been read, reread and digested. the
personal letter enclosing a clipping
from the home paper containing the
excursion rates will do more to interest
relative or friend than all else.
Try it. Think of some relative or
friond back there you would like to
see. Write him, enclosing this article,
or If you prefer come to the Press office
and we will wrap your copy of the
paper and mail it for you. BY doing
this you may have chance to see
him, for he can never come to Oregon
any cheaper. And once here he will
want to stay.

Effective September to October

cised.

his semi-final game yesterday defeating

tain to defeat his opponent in the semi
final today and the opinion is widely held
that the question whether Miles shall be
permitted to defend the title ought to be
settled before the American and English
man meet In the final match. so as to avoid
any suggestion of Miles being held IN re-
serve in the event of the American cham
pion proving the winner. as ii is thought is
almost certain to be the case.
Gould frankly admits that he is annoyed
at the way In which Miles has treated him.
He said last night:
Under the circumstances | doubt very
much whether | shall meet him if win the
challenge round. | would be in this posi-
ton: If Miles loses it will be said that he
short of practice and If he wins it Will
be said that all OF US who have played In
the all-comerS' competition must have been
a poor lot"
In the meanwhile Miles has written to
young Gould saying that II any of the com
pettors object to his playing he Will keep
to his original decision, adding that any
idea OF Gould scratching to him is out OF
the question and that unless Gould notifies
him by Tuesday that he has altered his
plans for leaving England he tMiles) VIII

COMMENTS ON THE GAME.

The defeat OF the Nationals yesterday
afternoon by the Athletics aptly illustrated
the force of the "hoodoo'' hanging over
the local team in the matter OF giving bases
on balls. No matter how well a pitcher
may be going or how excellent the players
are fielding let a base on balls crop up
and Immediately the regular patrons will
drop back in their seats with the remark
that IL is all over. Looking back over the
games played by the Nationals last season
1t appears that five times out of seven a
base on balls was costly. and this record
