East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-03-11

That Oregon is to be advertised in
the east in a most thorough and sys-
tomatic manner is shown by the fol-
lowing extract from a circular let
ter just sent out to Oregon newspa-
pers by Tom Richardson, secretary
of Portland Commercial club, who is
conducting one of the most efficient
campaigns for immigrants ever con-
Quoted in the west.
The magnitude of the work of ad-
vertising the state may be judged
from Mr.. Richardson's circular,
which is as follows:
a contract has been let by the
Portland Commercial club for ad-
vertising which will reach about sew
en- millions OF readers, making prom
ineent the low colonist rates to this
state, and giving special attention to
he agricultural resources and posi-
biliies Of Oregon.
The general passenger agents of
the different roads unite In the be-
lief that we are to have an especial
" large immigration, and urge not
state, but all citizens, to bear in mind
that these rates will continue until
April 80. and It is advisable for them
to see their station agents, and get
the exact facts. and write to ac-
quaintances and relatives in the old
er states
These rates have been given on
but it is well to repeat the fact that
tickets from Kansas City and all
Missouri river points st. Paul and all
that portion of the northwest, in
Guiding the Dakotas, as well as Ne
hraska, Kansas, portions of Oklaho-
ma. Missouri and Iowa, can be
bought to almost any point In Ore
gon for s25: from St Louis for $40;
from Chicago for s3S and from New
York for $50.
Building operations reported from
all points in Oregon show greater ac-
| tivity than at any time in the his
tory Of the state, The smaller owns
are growing just as substantially as
are the cities, and in MANY districts
Of the state new farm houses are be-
ing erected and more substantial inn
rrovements are being made than for
many years past All of the irrigat-
ed districts Of the state are receiving
manv home-seekers, and the valleys
and more thickly settled sections are
entertaining a good many visitors
who are looking for investments of
everv possible character
The demand Cor building material
Of all kinds is unprecedented. One
brick manufacturer reports orders
exceeding those OF last year at this
time thirty fold, while the orders
placed for structural steel, cement
and lumber are beyond the antici-
pations of the most enthusiastic Ore
gonians.

Mr.. Goebel is a fascinating and ell

observing conditions during that

game to be played here between the
sojourning team and a local nine.
However, the committee having the
matter in charge declined to accept
the responsibility of guaranteeing the
amount designated, and wired Mr..
Brown accordingly, Whether or
not the Aberdeen team will come
here anyway, remains to be seen.
Walla Walla Wants Games.
A letter was received here this

Vitality Of Cats,

It's an old saying that "a cat has
nine lives" and, like most old say
ings, not supposed to have any truth
in it, but from recent Investigations
it really seems that a cat can hold
on to life under circumstances
where any other creature would die.
A cats life may be proved to be at
the least three times the worth of
a dogs. Put cat and dog Of the
same age in a '1ethal chamber"
The cat will always outlive the dog.
On one occasion it was noticed the
dog was dead in five minutes and
the cat still breathing forty minutes
later. A cat has been known to re-
cover after two hours immersion in
cold water, and another came back
to life eight hours after apparent
death from a dose of prussic acid

Detecting Crime In Ethiopia.

The Ethiopian method of detect
ing crime is quick and effective and
has the great advantage of always
catching some one. A priest is call
ed, and by his exhortat on, prayers,
sorceries and drugs a youth is sent
to sleep with the command to
dream. The person he dreams of is
the criminal. No further proof is
sought or needed. The sanction of
the church is quite enough. If by
chance the boy fails to dream, he
is promptly put to sleep again by
the same process until he does, so
that he usually manages the affair
in short time.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Superstition In Calcutta.

The grossest superstition exists
in Calcutta. Not long ago an In

down from his two stored house in
accordance with the directions of a
so called magician, who was called
in to cast out a devil with which a
son was supposed to be possessed.
The poor brute was first fed with q
few bamboo leaves over which the
wizard mumbled some mantras, and
it was then pushed over the terrace.
The animal was killed, and its flesh
was distributed to the poor.

Miller of the steamer Yakima to 90

boat off the rocks where she was
grounded. The Yakima was coming
down stream when she struck a rock
and to prevent her sinking was hur-
riedly heached at a point about 80
miles up the Snake The Todd, in
endeavoring to get up the river,
broke her wheel and lost part of her
rudder, SO was unable to go above
Fivc-Mile Rapids. She returned to
AinswO'th where repairs were made
and the heavy machinery for the
White Bluffs Irrigation Co. was
loaded on the barge. This machinery
weighs between 60 and 20 tons.
Power for the pumps will be furnished
by a 100 p. gas producer engine,
the first Of the kind to be installed
