Can You Truth

Can you truthfully answer yes?
These things are all within the con-

painstaking care is exercised in their
selection, you are pretty certain to get
first class quality and flavor.

WESTWARD HO!"

The tide OF westward coIonist move.
ment is upon us, stronger, more pow
erful and more promising than at any
previous time. The colonist rates on
the Hartman lines went into effect on
March 1 and the figures made public
show that during that month 5,37l
persons bought tickets and came west.
Last year the record for the month of
March showed total OF only 3,l23.
OF these 5,371 tickets, 1,346 were sold
to points in Idaho, 1914 to Wash
ington, and 2,S1l to Oregon. In other
words the colonist travel to Oregon
alone this year during the month of
March, lacks but little of being equal
to the colonist travel to the entire
Northwest during the same month in
1908.
But this is only the beginning Of an
invasion Of prospective settlers, which
shall reach a magnitude, during the
period in which the colonist rates
remain in force, that will be almost
inconceivable.
These newcomers are not idle ad
venturers or persons travelling from
motives merely Of curiosity. They
are men and women who are seeking
homes. The majority of them belong
to class Of substantial, progressive
people whose presence in the state will
work strongly for its good. Each COM
munity into which this new element
comes will derive marked benefit from
the new addition TO its citizenship
But these newcomers will not be
distributed at random among the
various sections Of Oregon. They
will crystalline about certain well
defined points. Portland will become
the home Of many; others will go to
Salem, Corvallis, or Albany; Medford
and Eugene and the neighborhood
lying about them will receive others.
The reason for this concentration OF
the cOlOnist travel about certain points
Is not hard TO guess. The names of /
certain towns and cities OF Western
Oregon, their industries, and the
resources Of the country surrounding
them have bee driven into the minds
Of the newcomers even before they
started to Oregon by a persistent,
systematic and well-directed method
Of community advertising, until they [
know of no other places in the state
except those. |,
Naturally then, on their arrival in
this state, they seek and settle at the T
places of which they heard so much
favorable remark before they deter :,
mined to come West.
Polk county and its cities should be
among these points OF colonist II
Already the first
month of the colonist rates has passed a
aud the influx of people during the
next few months will be greater still a
han it was in March. Every person
10 Polk county should make his or q
herself a self constituted booster
hub" and should see that every east
'ound letter from Polk county con-
aims something concerning the
and the future OF this section.
II the prospective colonist hears =
nough about Polk county before be :,
tarts West he will make it point to y y
'isit this section upon arriving in :,
)regon-and Polk county is attractive :, :,
nough to the newcomer that this ~
'isit which is nearly certain to be fol- :
owed by the purchase and settlement > :.
II new home and by the addition Of :,
ne more desirable person to our citi. - -

Fine Creamery Record

N. R. McFall, whose place is one

and vetch hay, and mill feed. There
was no pasturage during March. Mr.

UNITED IRISH LEAGUE
National Convention Just Begun at
Dublin, Apparently Under Control of
John Redmond = Usual Home Rule
Resolution Adopted.

Dublin, Feb 9-The national con-
vention of the United Irish League
opened rat Mansion house today, I'm :
der the presidency of John Redmond
Two thousand delegates were present
The convention was quickly placed on
good terms with itself, by the reading
of messages of congratulation, encour-
agement, and good wishes from Amer
ca, Australia and elsewhere.
The convention adopted the usual
home rule resolution, and declared that
this question must be made vital Is
sue at the next general election. so that
there could be no misunderstanding on
the other side of the channel regarding
what was meant. An attempt to tack
onto the resolution support of the con-
yention to the Irish party amendment,
instructing the party to oppose and
embarrass the liberal government by
every means in its power because OF
Premier Asquith's refusal to make
home rule an issue in the general cleo
tion, was defeated. 1t became apparent
that Redmond was in control of the
convention, and speeches of Sim Feln-
ers, charging that the party was too
friendly with the liberals, were shouted
down. William O'Brien was given dis
tinctly hostile reception, when he op-
posed Chief Secretary for Ireland Biz
rells land bill.

schools are to be organized.
The country people everywhere are
asking for good roads. Everywhere too
they want a parcels post and the eA-
tension of the rural free delivery.
No Bill Endorsed.
The commission has purposely
now before congress, no matter what
it's value or object. In the opinion OF
the commission, however, there are
two or three movements of the utmost
consequence that should be set under
way at the earliest possible time pc
cause they are fundamental to the
whole problem of permanent recon-
struction There should be organized
under government leadership compre-
hensive plan for an exhaustive study or
survey of all the conditions that sur
round the business of farming and the
people who live in the country, In Or
der to take stock Of our resources and
to supply the farmer with knowledge.
Each state college of agriculture
should organize as soon as practlcaole'
a complete department of college eN-
tension. Local, state, and even aatlonal
conferences on rural progress. designed
to unite the interests of education, Or
ganization, and religion should be held.
Country Overlooked.
There is need for young people OIL
quality, energy, capacity, aspiration
and conviction, who will live in the
open country as permanent residents
on farms or as teachers, or in other
useful fields, and who, while developing
their own business or affairs to the
greatest perfection, will still have un-
selfish interest in the welfare of their
communities. The farming country is
by no means devoid of leaders and is
not lost or incapable of helping itself,
but it has been relatively overlooked by
persons who are seeking great fields OF
usefulness. 1t will be well for us as
people if we recognize the opportunity
for usefulness in the open country ana
consider that there is call for SER
vice.
The suggestions of the commission
only outline a general plan whereby the
strong resident forces in the open
country may themselves build up new
and better rural social structure. TO
accomplish this, the entire people must
be aroused. The time for this is al
hand.
