That rhyme flashed through Dr. Ro land Dwlght Grant's mind as the for mer Oregonlan looked from hla berth on the bhaata Limited as the train from San Francisco crossed the Oregon line, bearing the noted lecturer to Portland on the last lap of hla kith trip across the American continent. "Oregon! Oh. Oregon!" exclaimed Dr. Grant. "This great stats Is home to me. after all. I am glad to be back here even for a day to breathe this One air. to find that Portland and the whole state are growing and thriving as never before. Dr. Grant is known to almost every one In Oregon not only as a pulpit orator, but aa a lecturer, scientist, man of letters and "high priest of nature.' He has always bad a warm spot In bis heart for Oregon and at one period of hla career remained long enough In Portland to build the White Temple. Dr. Grant has addressed 11.200 an dlencea and has traveled 1.J50.000 miles on trains, averaging more than 60.000 mllee a year, or encircling the globe twice every 11 months. And every where he goes he has something good to say about Oregon. He la father of the slogan. "See America First." an address he delivered at the Lewis and Clark Exposition being entitled by him. "Go to Europe if You Will, But Bee America First." Probably the secret of Dr. Grant's success as a lecturer la xound in hla own definition. He said: "A lecturer is a word merchant.

More than S& par cent of the newcom ers are determined already where they want to go and do not tarry except to see the sights of Portland. All these say they have been helped In making up their minds by the publicity given to Oregon through various agencies. The railroads seem to bsve done a large share of effective advertising; ths com merclal bodies of Portland and of other enterprising communities have won good results and many private concerns also nave Induced a few to come. The per- sonal appeals of friends hss had as great effect as as any other, but In most esses these invitations were supplemented with literature, newspapers and general printed information on the subject. United Exploitation Telling. A man who sold hla farm In Nebraska last week to take up a new location at Corrallls said that he first heard of Cor vallia through an advertisement printed In a newspaper that fell Into his bands. Then be wrote for detailed Information and was sent an Illustrated booklet. After atudylng this he decided that Cor- vallls was the place for him to bring up hla family. A large number of Eastern people who passed through Portland yesterday were bound for points on the Oregon Trunk Railway. If yesterday's passengers were sn average more than 80 per cent of the colonists are recruited from Iowa. Kan sas. Nebraska. Missouri. Illinois, Okla homa and Indiana. Not one from any where east of Indiana was reported, al though many from the Atlantic Coast are expected to arrive later. A num ber of prepaid tickets fcr persons tn New Tork and the New England States were sold at the local offices and the persons for whom they were Issued are due to come In this week Five persons from Des Moines, la., went through here to Grants Pass yes terday. Advertising sent by a private land company attracted them. A man, woman and three children from Kearney, Neb., went to Corvallls. having been In duced to go there by literature sent out by local commercial bodies. Twenty Kansans came in late yesterday evening after having atopped at several points In Idaho and Eastern Oregon. They will leave today on a trip up the Willamette Valley and expect to find suitable loca tions. Must of them had considerable money. Fruit orchards and farm land are sought by them. Big; Rash Continues. A special car left Canton, Okla., yes terday morning and will arrive in Port land over the Great Northern In a few days, bringing dS former residents of that city who are determined to take up homestead land. Although all the figures are not yet available It is believed that the previous day's estimate of an arrival of 2500 per sons yesterday wss by no means too high. The first section of O.-W. R. Ac N. train No. 6. brought In 171. The sec ond section carried about the same number. The two sections of No. 17. which arrived last night, carried an ag gregate of nearly 400. It Is estimated that the local trains delivered fully 100 colonists who had stopped at points east of here before en terlng the city. As many more left the train before they arrived In Portland. This makea the number carried into the city by the 0.-W. R. a M. Co. alone nearly COO. The Great Northern s contribution via Seattle and via the North Bank road was almoat aa great. Train No. i. which ar rived from the East over the North Bank yesterday brought 9 persona No. 1 laat night bad more than 100. The Northern Pacific, too, carried a great many, the figures for that road being as high aa that for the others. Advice was received yesterday that a special car carrying 40 men, women and children left Kansas City for Portland Inst night. It will arrive over the O.- W. R. a N. line Bunday morning.

"Tha women cleaned up Seattle," , . n'iiii.M T Puma vtitrrla.V- He saia n i",u visited In Portland on his way to San Francisco, leaving ror i,aniorni on the Shasta Limited last night. "The agitation to get votes for the women stirred up the men to a realization of the real conditions. Then when the women grot the ballot In their hands, they proceeded to wield It to advan tage. I have no doubt that If we secure an honest jury Wappenstein will be convicted." Detective Burns praised Seattle's administration, saying the city officials now In ffflc are working; for the In terest of the people, not for the In terest of crooks. He spoke especially of John F. Murphy, the newly elected Prosecuting Attorney. "Before Murphy was elected," said the detective, "he told the voters he would clean up the city if they would elect him to office. Be has fulfilled his pledge. He did not know before his election that I had evidence at hand against certain officials, ready to pre sent to the grand jury. But as soon as the evidence was brought forth he pre have declined because he Is a lawyer. But he believed It his duty to serve as other citizens are doing." The purpose of Mr. Burns visit to sented It and Indictments resulted. There was such an exodus of crooks after that as I never saw before. "One of the men on the grand jury was C. E. Corliss, a Seattle attorney; In fact he was foreman. He could Portland was not revealed, but as the Federal grand jury was in session yes terday. It Is probable he was here to lay before the jurymen such facts as he has gathered In connection with the Humboldt gold bullion robbery. Frank G. Taylor, of Seattle, manager of the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company and Harry Durand, postofflce Inspector, were also In Portland yesterday. Mr. Burns has no doubt that both the ex press package of gold, and that stolen from the mall will be recovered. Engineer Candidate Files Protest, The Civil Service Commission yester de.y placed on file a letter from John K. Sod en, complaining about the mark ings In a recent competitive exami nation for the position of chief elec trical engineer. Mr. Soden failed to pass and charged that the examiners made it possible for O. W. Morrell, his sole competitor, to pass by giving him answers to questions. Mr. Soden waa present, but did not ask to be heard. He declined to say whether or not he will carry the case further. The courts are his only source of appeal. When the CooK.
