'DAY LETTER" NOW
GOES BY WIRE

The "day letter" was established on
March by the Western Telegraph
company. On and after that date so
words may be transmitted and deliver
ed with promptness and care at all
points, at a cost of one and one-half
times the regular day rate for 10
words.
For example, the regular rate for a
l0wOrd day message from this city to
New York is 81. For a day letter,
containing so words which may be sent
at any time during the "a hours, the
rate will be $3.50. For any additional
number of words of 10 or less a charge
of one-tifth of the total rate for 50
words will be made, which, in the case
of message destined to New York,
would be one-ffth of 81 so, or 80 cents.
The day letter may be handled by
telephone, the same as all other mes
sages now collected and delivered
through this service by the telegraph
company.

OREGON WILL HAVE
IMMIGRATION OFFICIAL

Officials of the Oregon Development
League, who had worked for the pass
age of the bill providing for state
immigration commissioner, were non
plussed when Governor West announced
last week he would veto the measure.
They succeeded, however, in inducing
him to change his mind by waving any
claim to the S25. 900 appropriation the
bill carried, so that the law will give
the state the benefit of the United
States immigration Bureau work in
placing desirable immigrants on the
Oregon lands.
Lacking the necessary appropriation
to carry on the work, public spirited
citizens of Portland will shoulder the
expense. The passage of the law Will
at least provide for state Endorsement
of promotion literature that shall be
issued to attract immigration and this
will make this matter authoritative so 1t
will carry more weight and at the same
time guard against boomer matter.
This will be for the benefit Of the
whole state and not any section alone.
A state book, showing Oregon's ad-,
vantages, will be issued under the seal
of the new commissioner.

HARTMAN CHIEFS
MAY VISIT HERE

Judge Robert S. Lovett, head of the
Kruttschnitt, director of maintenance
and operation, are coming into Oregon
this week from California on an in
spection tour of the coast properties
of the allied roads. The plans Of the
officials are not published as their trip
is one of purely business nature, but
it is believed that they may make a
stop in Hood River to look over the
extensive Improvements which are
being contemplated by the O.-W. R. &
N. in this vicinity. The new local
depot and yard facilities, together with
the plans to double track the line along
the Columbia, will attract the officials
to a careful inspection of this part of
the lines. The visit to Hood River will
probably be some time during next
week. The pair of high officials are
travelling in special train.
The eyes of the Hartman interests
are turned toward the development of
Oregon and the Northwest as the
recent appropriations for construction
and publicity for this section are show
ing clearly. The Deschutes line is
being rushed this year and now the
next thing to receive attention will be
a line across central Oregon from Vale
to point on the line up the Deschutes.
Plans are also being made to build a
line from the Southern Pacific &C asst
line to the Oregon of northern Califor-
MIA coast. Besides these new lines and
the construction of the North Coast in
Washington much double tracking is
to be done.
Much advertising of the resources OF
the country is being done and an appro.
priation of a million and quarter
dollars has been made to spend in
advertising alone during this year.
This will be expended in cooperation
with local commercial bodies to large
extent as has been done in the past
and the whole will be devoted to bring
ing in the settler to develop the
country.
