SUMMER TOURIST
RATES DECLARED

Summer tourist fares to Pacific coast
points and return during 1913 were
placed on the same basis as prevailed
last year, at meeting of the Trans
continental Passenger Association held
in Chicago last week.
These,rates go into effect about June
|, and Portland is one of the first cities
on the coast to receive direct benefit
from the lower fares, for the reason
that the annual rose festival, one of
the big tourist attractions of the coast,
is held shortly after the rates take
effect, the next festival dates being
June 9-l4. The railroads make the
best possible use of this as an adver-
tising feature for the eastern pleasure
seekers to come to the coast early in
the summer and stay as long as they
can.
Fasteners can buy these round trip
tickets any day from June to Sep
tenlber 80, and they have return limit
invariably fixed at OctoDer 81. The
transcontinental lines are usually gen
erous in allowing, stop over privileges
in either direction in what is known as
the general western territory"
Besides Chicago, Milwaukee and Pc
oria will have the $72. so round trip
rate; st. Louis has a $40 rate St
Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth Kansas
City. Omaha and Sioux City $50 rate
and Denver, Colorado Springs and Pu-
eblo a S55 rate.
A choice of routes, in either drec-
ton, is permitted under the terms of
the summer tourist rate schedule.

BAKER PRAISES
PAISLEY PROJECT

1T was very much Of surprise to
me, says W. j. Baker, who returned
last thursday from Paisley. where he
had gone to inspect the lands offered
there by the Northwest Townsite Co.
The lands are just as they are repre-
sented in the literature put out by the
company. Because of the effect of the
hcJ lake there the climate is surpris-
ingly mild. The chief engineer of the
company told me that during the years s
time he had spent there he had seen $50
days of beautiful sunshine.
"A large company. composed of New
York men, is putting in large soda
works on Summer lake. They are in
stalling their evaporators. and the peo-
Pile feel that it will not be long until a
railroad taps the fertile district.
Paisley is $50 miles south of Bend on
Summer lake. The closest railroad
station at present is Lakeview, forty
miles away. Mr.. Baker made the trip
from Bend to Paisley by automobile.
When we get our automobile road
opened up from here to The Dalles and
up the Desehutes, he says, "as far
as that portion of the road between
Bend and Summer lake is concerned, |
can vouch that it will be one continual
joy ride.
Mr.. Baker, who has taken the local
agency for the company, received the
following communication from Geo. NJ.
Bailey, president of the Northwest
Townsite Co., after his return here:
I'VE are willing that each investor
VINO does not go down to Paisley and
who takes your word for conditions of
things to receive from you a written
agreement that if he visits the prop
erty at any time before the second
payment is due and finds conditions
different from those represented in our
printed literature and advertised mat
ter, that we will refund his money.
All of our printed matter, including
our subscription agreement and con-
tracts, were submitted to the Desert
Land Board before they were issued,
and we are working in direct and per-
feet harmony with the state authori-
ties. This is the first Cary Act pro-
ject inaugurated in the state of Oregon
in which the settlers are receiving
square deal. "

Last week the stockholders of the

In the letter enclosed to the stock

called to the reasonably good market
that had been found for the lower and
cooking grades of apples. The union
will handle potato shipments this year.
However, growers are advised to con-
fer with the management before max

which is going through a process of

He also alleges thai with Democratic
success ii Is certain under those con-
ditions that the tariff will be re-
vised and that the large industries
of the State will suffer in conse-
quence.
The letter in full follows:
MY Dear Senator Wakelee:
II hope that your State convention
at Trenton ON the oath of October will
of enthusiasm there shown will be an
n effort of a result favorable
to the Republican ticket in New Jer-
sey. Certainly a State which is a per-
feet hive of industries and is largely
dependent for the prosperity of her
industries upon the reasonable pro-
lection of a tariff ought not to re-
gard the coming into power of a
Democratic President and a Demo-
cratic Congress with any favor. As
certainly as the sun rises they will
revise the tariff without the slightest
regard to the protection theory, just
exactly as they have attempted 10
do in the present Congress.
by opening our markets to a de-
structive competition they will injure
your industries, paralyze business and
halt prosperity. / cannot think that
the good people of New Jersey will
welcome such a result, or that by
their votes they will assist in bring
ing it about. | know that hard work
is necessary under the conditions to
carry New Jersey for the Republican
party, but | believe 1t can and will be
done. and / congratulate you, Mr.
Chairman, and all the working Re-
publicans on the organization tat
you have effected and the progress
YOU have made toward assured vic
tory. Sincerely yours.
