 See here," he said, "This hat doesn't fit"

REAL BOOSTING.

There is much talk these days of
boosters and boosting, much of it
that is backed by real work along
that line and good deal of 1t that
Is purely and simply 'hot air."
The real booster in town is the
man who always has a good word
for that town and its institutions; the
man who when a stranger is within
the gates of his town, will exert him
self to speak a good word for the
place.
The real booster is always to be
found lending his financial and moral
aid to any project, which has for it's
object the betterment of his commu-
nifty and one who never is found
shaking his head wisely and question:
ing the motives of the men who are
trying to do something for his town
and consequently for him.
The real booster seldom stands on
the street corner and bemoans the
fact that the town is going to the
bow-wows. He does not have time to
sit around and complain while do
ing nothing to help make things bet
ter
No, the real booster, the man who's
entitled to the name, will tell you
that his town is the best one on earth.
He will always be found on the fir
ing line and if he has a kick because
business is dull he keeps it to him
self and let's you think he is doing
more business than any one.
The real booster contributes to the
uplifting and betterment of his town
and her people; he takes its local
papers and advertises in their col
umns. He is a genial energetic,
whole-soled individual whose life is
lived that others are made happier
and better. Here's to him. May his
tribe increase.

be made to follow the example OF
the United States Steel corporation,
for example, in permitting the invest
ing public to understand what is go
ing on. The present action to dissolve
the Standard OIL company will in the
long run have been valuable, princl-
pally in the publicity to which it is
subjecting the affairs OF a giant en-
terprise.
1t may be predicted with some
safety that this prosecute with its
disclosures marks the end Of the old
period OF the Standard Oil company's
regime of mystery and secrecy From
many standpoints its management has
been superb. But 1t ought to recog-
nize the new order of things and step
out boldly into the white light OF the
fullest publicity.
1t is the intention of the govern
ment to prove that the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey is a great
holding corporation of corporations,
which absolutely dominates the pc
troleum business and allied industries
in this country. and which ought
under the Sherman antitrust law, to
be compelled to divest itself of its
monopolistic attributes.
But the Sherman antitrust law is q
very imperfect piece of legislation,
and It is hard to see what practical
and stable solution is to be secured
through attempts to enforce the ex-
listing statute.

The first American vessel to enter

TRIBUTE TO NEWSPAPERS.

Tom Richardson paid a splendid
tribute to the newspapers IN his ad-
dress the other night, says a Eugene
paper. He declared them to be the
greatest factors in the upbuilding of
a community and asserted that it
had been proven in Portland and
elsewhere that newspapers were the
most effective of all advertising me-
diums.
Thus it Is that the business man
who advertises not only helps him.

he also contributes to the making of
better newspapers, and they in turn
advance in every way the material in

The non-advertiser can never bc a

Richardson said, the newspaper
should be the reliable and complete
directory Of the business and profess
sional interests of the community in
which 1t is published.

MRS. HOwE's NEW HYMN.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, authoress
of the Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lic," has just written a new hymn
which was sung at the Boston con-
gress of liberals, as follows:
Hail, Mount of God! whereon with
reverent feet
The messengers of many nations
meet;
Diverse in feature. argument and
creed,
One in their errand, brothers in their
need.
That give far lands opposing dusk and
dawn;
Not in unwisdom are the limits
drawn;
One sun makes bright the all-perva-
ding air,
One fostering spirit hovers every
where.
So with one breath many fervent souls
aspire,
With one high purpose wait the
answering fire;
Be this the prayer that other prayer
controls,
That light divine may visit human
souls.
The worm that clothes the monarch
spins no flaw,
The coral builder works by heavenly
law;
Who would to conscience rear tenn
pie pure
Must prove each stone and seal it
sound and sure.
Upon one steadfast base of truth we
stand
Love lifts her sheltering walls on
either hand;
Arched DER our head Is Hopes tran
sDendent dome,
And in the Fathers heart of hearts
our home.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD, OREGON

The origin of the name "Oregon"
is much sought for, but 1t Is not
known. There are many theories
concerning it, but investigation proves
them to be without foundation. The
first allusion to the word was by
Captain Jonathan Carver, a native of
Connecticut, who was an officer in
the provincial troops during the
French and Indian war Of 1753-1765.
He went west in 1766-176S and reach
ed some place near Minneapolis Of
today, and in his work entitled "Three
Years Travels Through the Interior
Parts Of North America" published
In London In 1878, he speaks of "the
Oregon, or River of the West" with
out explanation as to why he used IT,
An editorial in the New York Her
aid in the spring Of 1846 says the
word "Oregon" was derived from an
Indian word meaning the backbone
of the continent" This theory Is
supported to some extent by a map
Of 1898 alluding to the "Rocky or
Oregon mountains" Mystery sur
rounds the name, however, and prob
