drizzling rain, which gradually grew into a full-fiedged downpouI that effectually extinguished all chances of carrying the contest to even a five-inning conclusion. In spite of the signs of shower be- fore the game, a good crowd ven tured to the park, but the moisture began to descend at 3:30 o'clock Half an hour later there was a slight let-up, long enough to get the game started. Both sides had gone scoreless in the initial section, and the second inning was being opened when the water began to tumble down in torrents, compelling the umpire to call the men to cover.

and stripes to twist the tail of the lion. The eagle sunk It's claws deeply into the hide of the jungle growler in an unexpected fashion when Melvin W. Sheppard of the Irish-American Ath. letic club of New York romped of with the 1.500 meter race. which the Englishmen had considered as good as won.
 Beats English Record Breaker.
 To do the trick Sheppard was forced to step the distance in 403 2-5. the same time as credited to Hallows of England, in his preliminary heat of the previous day. Strange to say, Hal. lows was poor third.
 Sheppard's great performance was really the feature of the day. While his victory was not nearly as impres. sive as that of the champion weight men of his team, it was enhanced by the fact that the Britons were so for. mldable at the 1900 meters. Sheppard had never been called upon before to try his skill at anything further than 1000 yards.
 Halstead, who was counted upon to break the English hearts. was shut out fin his preliminary heat by Shep pard.
 It was a foregone conclusion that none had any show with the Amer. ieans in the hammer throwing. This event fell to the giant New York DO lieeman. John Flanagan. who bettered his Olympic record in landing the hon. ors for the Yankees. He flung the six. teen pound pellet 110 feet 4is inches Matt McGrath. also of New York. was a close second. with 16T feet II inches just two inches short of Flanagan's previous Olympic mark Walsh of Canada. the only other contestant iu the final. could do no better than I5g feet 1Is inches.

Populate Oregon.

Every property holder and every
citizen of the state of Oregon is in
debted to the newspapers, the COM
mercial bodies, the schools and the
business men for conducting an ad-
vertising campaign through 1907
which brought 27,215 people to
this state as a result of the colonist
rate in March and April, Septem-
Der and October. y
No greater returns has ever been
achieved as a result of community
organization and cooperative ad-
vertising. This record of 227 peo-
pie for every day for 100 days is
almost without a parallel in the
history of immigration effort any
where in this country. During the
same months of 1906 the colonist
rates brought 1924, showing the
unprecedented increase of 9,001, or
in round figures so per cent.
The colonist rates go into effect
again on March 1st, and continue
until April Both, and if the same
energetic campaign can be carried
on in 1908, even this large influx Of
new people can be increased, and it
is certainly worth while.
The direct benefit of the colonist
rate is that it brings people to every
section, and builds up the country
around all the towns rather than
increasing the population of the
larger cities. And it has been con-
clusively proven, that immigration
comes to communities in direct pro-
portion to the effort expended by
them.
During the winter months, Janu-
airy and February particularly, the
farmer in the great Middle West
(from whence comes our greatest
immigration) does his greatest read
ing, and we want to be sure that he
reads the story Of Oregon. During
the past year more than five million
copies of printed matter were circu-
lated from this state, and in all of
these the special rate has been prom
inent.
1t has been the constant effort of
of the Portland Commercial Club in
its correspondence throughout the
state to impress upon all the people
Of Oregon that this low fare applies
to all points the same as to Port
land, and in all advertising this
fact has been emphasized.
immediate organization should
be commenced everywhere by the
commercial bodies and through the
schools. Oregon needs no one
thing more than additional popula-
ton.

most profitable meetings in its his
