The newspapers of the tats, without exception, have come to .-i'ens aid of the Oregon Development league, aed at the present time this league Is composed of 45 regularly or ganized commercial bodies, all using letterheads made local In every psrtlcu- - 1ST. The thousands of men who are In tha employ of the great transcontinental railroad Unea, whose terminals are In Paclflo coast porta, are working not only with the organisation as a whole, , but with each and every one of the cor responding officers of the different . bodies throughout the state In advertis ing Oregon - as a state and each and very pert of It.

The newspapers of the state are work ing In harmony with the secretaries of the organisations, and ooples of Oregon (newspapers are being sent out telling why the people should come here. The extent of this advertising cannot he measured. Just one item, however, will .surprise e great many Journal readers. Fifty-two thousand letterheads are now tn use by the 41 local clubs and the general officers, and every sheet of this stationery tells the story of Oregon's greatness in a brief way, and makes a special point of advertising the Lewis and Clark centennial exposition. This stationery also contains on the back tha names of all the organisations hold ing membership, and when a letter la addressed to a party at a distance It glvea the recipient an opportunity to write to some one In all portions of ths state for reliable data and exact Infor mation on any subject. Many of the local organisations which hold membership In the Oregon Devel opment league were organised before the convention at the Marquam Grand thea tre last summer. There Is not an or ganization In the state which haa not derived benefit as a result of the forma tion of the state league, and many of the local bodies, which were dormant and Inactive before, have become splen did factors In the advertlatng, advance ment and upbuilding of our great state. The publicity department of the Lewis and Clark exposition has supplied each and every one of the local organisations with printed mstter advertising the fair, and with pamphlets snd circulars treat ing special subjects, like agricultural and timber resources in fact, furnish ing material which will enable all the secretaries to give Intelligent and re liable Information regarding all the Im portant resources of Oregon and the great Paclflo northwest. The local organisations composing the Oregon Development league are In dally touch with the Portland Commercial club. A greet many of them have of f erred special prises for articles on lines similar to the contest Inaugurated by the Portland Commercial club for best articles on ths state. The proviso of the contest that mads these articles especially effective, was that they had to be printed. In newspapers or other publications outside of the state of Ore gon. Many of the clubs are Interesting the school children, snd most of them nave sctlve correspondence committees, which are doing greet work towards the advancement of the local community represented and ths state ae a whole Tha Journal haa asked me to ssy something relative to community build ing and ths part the active commercial body has In the promotion of a city or a state, and I know of no better way to present this than to give a few de tails regarding the dally work of the Portland Commercial club. In the first' place, the Commercial club gathered ths addreases of thou sands of people at a distance by bavlng citizens of Portland end Oregon supply the addresses of their relatives, friends and acquaintances In older states. These persona were first sent' a copy of the booklet "Oregon," and thla was accom panied by a postal card giving the name and address of the Oregon friend st vhose request this publication was for warded. This special postal card also requested the recipient of the booklet to acknowledge receipt, not only to the Portland Commercial club, but to the friend who had caused the booklet to be forwarded, and thla naturally re sulted in an enormous amount of corre spondence for the Portland Commercial club, and also caused the renewal of many old acquaintances and the inter change of thousands of personal-letters. Many of the local organisations In other cities and towns of Oregon have adopted this plan with good results. The busi ness men of the city ware then asked to addrees the school children, and ' to give some Idea of the outcome, these children sent out 11,600 copies of this seme booklet, "Oregon." Other Work Accomplished. Special articles and special editions of Portland papers have been sent out to people making Inquiries regarding thla city and state to the active officers of the commercial bodies throughout the United States. Mexico and Canada, and in each and every Instance a postal card or special letter has accompanied this advertising matter and this newspaper, and In all ths history of advertising in America the results obtained by the Portland Commercial olub hold the rec ord. In fact, it Is ths opinion of ths active railroad officials throughout the country that this plan, which they have believed In for a long time. Is the very beat yet adopted in advertising the ad vancement of any pert of the United States. The enterprise and patriotism of the people of Portland and Oregon has been evidenced by the fact that the names bsve kept coming In, not only from peo ple residing in this city, but from those in all portions of the state. There has never been a day since the birth of the publicity department of the Portland Commercial club, the first of last June, that a list of names of people residing In other states has not been received. The Immigration departments of the great transcontinental lines are In dally correspondence with the Portland Com mercial club, and If the clerical force of this organisation was twice aa large as It Is now. It could not keep up with Its correspondence or satisfy anything Ilka the demand made upon It for news paper articles to be printed throughout all portions of this great republic. Splendid meetings of state-wide Im portance have been held by the Oregon Development league at Baker City and Grants Pass. In the first instance, many points In eastern Oregon were repre sented, while the meeting st Grants Pass was second In importance only to the Initial meeting held at Portland, and while all southern Oregon participated. one of the chief factors In the success of this magnificent meeting was the energy and enterprise of the people of Roseburg, who came to Grsnta Pass 100 strong probably the largest dele gation that ever went from one Oregon point to another for the sole purpose of advancing the general Interests of the community. Clubs la the In addition to these general meetings there have been a greet many local meetings in the different cities and sssmWivh Ln ' g ' "sssl ssM '' sss-H SSsV " 'isSSSSSSZ E. L. Smith, President Oregon De velopment League. towns of Oregon, and these wsre held with the sole purpose of organising the local bodies. Many meetings of this kind will be held during January and February, and It has been thought best by many of the officers of the state league, aa well as the active workers In the local organizations, that a special conveatton of tha Oregon Development league ahould be held In Portland some time In February. The letterhead used by the several organisations of the stats league, aa reproduced by The Journal, tella Its own story. On the back this letterhead car ries ths following facta relative to Ore gon, followed by the organisations which make up the state body: "This organization was perfected at a convention heM under the auspices of the Portland Commercial club. In the Marquam Grand theatre. August 1 and t, 1904. It was decidedly the most rep resentative gathering of solid and sub stantlal business men ever held ln the state of Oregon. The chief object of the Oregon Development league Is to work ln co-operation with ths news papers and the Immigration departments of ths railroads, and to give persons at a distance someone to correspond with m every Important point ln thla state. "Oregon stands first among the states In timber, salmon fisheries and the pro duction of hops occupies second place ln the output of wool has more money available for irrigation through the United States government than any other state "Her fruits are nnequaled, and this Is especially true In apples, cherries, berries and prune a.

D OCTORS neve always played an important part ln the history of Oregon The man, whose triumpnant mm winter riae across the continent la ssld to hsve saved tho country to the American flag Whit man waa a doctor. And like many j other members of his profession met . his deeth ln the discharge of his duty. The real cause of the bloody uprising which swept the little Whitman mis sion out of existence Is said to have been the noble yet mistaken seel with which Dr. Whitman endeavored to ex tend tha blessings of medical knowl edge to his Indian charge. His efforts were successful; brilliant cures were wrought, the confidence and gratitude of ths tribe enlisted; but by e bitter stroke of the Irony of fete e fierce epidemic of some contagious disease, supposed to have been measles, sud denly broke out ln the tribe and deci mated their ranks ln a few short weeks. This, according to the crude philosophy of the Indians, waa an expression of the wrath of their ancestral spirit for listening to the teachings of the new healer, or else the direct result of his enchantments, and their vengeance wes ea prompt ae It waa lamentable. Doctors hsve been prominent ever since ln Oregon and are today: but I am happy to say thst their labors are more adequately, or at leaat, more pleasantly, rewarded. It Is en Interesting fact, not widely known or properly appreciated, that the Intelligence, pr jgi sesiveness end health ful nee of a community Is In exact pro portion to the number of physicians which ft contains. For Instsnce. smong the civilised nations Turkey Is at the bottom of the list, with about one doc tor to every MOO of populstlon; Russia comae next with shout one doctor to M0; then Anstrle with one to 4.000: France and Germany with one to about 1.50; England with about (HIS to 1.500; while the United States ceps the climax with about on physician to svery 000. Oddly enough, tu spite of ths expects Von of cynics to the contrary, the death tabs IS largest where the communitj seems to have the least use for doctors, snd steadily snd rapidly diminishes as we go up the scale snd Increase doctors In numbers. ' In Turkey, for instance, the desth rate Is neerly four times that of ths British isles. Tet It Is very simple. The secret of the whole matter Is that doctors are such good fellows, and aet such an excellent example In right living and are such energetic sani tary reformers, that they compel people to live well snd to get 'well, whether they want to or not. Oregon Doctors ta First Beak. According to this standard Oregon Is well In the front ranks of the van of civilisation, for she has upwards of 800 physicians to her about 460,000 pop ulation, which gives every 650 persons one physician exclusively devoted to tbelr Interests. And the quality of tho supply is aa wall up to standard as tho quantity. Many men are to be found In their ranks who have reputations ex tending all up and down the Pacific coaat, and a fair sprinkling whose fame Is national and even International in extent. 'Westward the star of empire" has ever taken Its way, and the most Independent and progressive minds of the profession hsve frequently been found to strike out Into fresh fields and paaturea new. Assuredly any mosa grown practitioner who drifts westward across the Rockies, under the impres sion thst eny kind of a dSctor can make a living out west, will find himself In the midst of sn atmosphere of pro fessional progress and competition which will be an unpleasant surprise to him. . Nor can any on complain of the lack of variety either as to Individuals or to schools. Old school and new school, regular and Irregular, allopath, homeo path and elect le. vltopath. naturopath and osteopath. Christian Scientist, faith healer. Indian. Chinaman and seventh son of a seventh son; every patient ran gratify his particular therapeutic taste, however exotic that may be. It must not. however, for a moment be supposed that the Ingredients In this motley list are present ln anything tike equal proportion. The first mentioned enormously predominate; for instance, out of the 800 nearly (00 describe them selves aa "regular," 50 to 75 more as homeopathic, while the latter Ingre dients named ere-present like garlic end mustard, in mere pinches, for the sake of variety and flevor. Can Cope With Any Epidemic, Such en army as this would readily, with the- assistance of the state and local sanitary authorities, be able to cope with any epidemic which might arise. Its mettle ln this regard haa never yet been tried as, partly from our situation and partly from our climate. Oregon haa most fortunately been free from eny Invasion ln any serious degree of grave epidemic disease. Possibly also because there were so many doctors thst even the pestilence shrank back afrlghted. Neither cholera nor yellow lack. In the days of their glory, aver penetrated Its borders, and although smallpox has been prevalent ln large numbers at times ever since the Cuban war. It haa always been In an exceed ingly mild form and la now almost ex tinct. Owing to our swift streams, porous soil and cool summer nights, that most serious soil dlrease which undermines the bselth and Increases the death rate of a community malaria Is practtcslly unknown In the stste, except In a few valleys toward the southern ltne. There Is simply no place In Oregon where the malarial mosquito, the deadly Anopheles, can find a congenial breeding place. And tli unanimous edict of the medical world now is "No mosquttos, no ma laria!" Incidentally it need not be men tioned what en addition to the pleasure of existence the almost complete ab sence of these pestiferous little Insects le People In Oregon have almost for gotten to say thnt they feel "malarious" and take a dose of quinine, whenever they happen to be bilious Quinine Is literally e drag on the .market. Of, the other disease which might possibly become epidemic, typhoid fever, though mora prevalent than It should be ln so now snd Intelligent a commun ity, has barely one-third the deetb rat which It numbers In ths satrn state. Scarlet fever and dlphthrla are both Infrequent and mild In character. For Instance In 1 904 there were barely to death from the one and 16 from the other, sad In the entire state, with Its population of 40,000. Hospitals aad sTagees. Nor I the stats deficient In those next moat Important agenda ln the war against disease snd death, hospitals and trained nurses. For these latter, "slsters-ln-medlclne", of the profession, there are no less than six schools, thrae a sBsrL ! wk id' Dr. Woods Hutchinson. In Portland, one ln Seism, one In As toria and one ln Pendleton. In addition to ths numerous graduates of ths Insti tutions here, there ere number of nurses trained in . the beat school end hospitals of the east, so that there Is scarcely e locality In the stet whare the services of s graduate nurse cannot be secured within IS hours. The hospital, however, ere Oregon's greatest pride, and It can be truthfully said that those ln Portland are aa per fectly equipped and wall manned, ln all essential particulars and Improvements, as any to be found In the civilised world. Moreover, on account of the wide area of country, of which Portland is the natural center, much of which 1 devoted to mining, lumbering, ranching and fish ing Industrie, her hospitals ere among tha largest of any city of her popula tion In the United States. St. Vincent's heads the list with 100 beds; e splendid brick building upon the slope of the hill overlooking Portland and a superb view of the river and distant snow peaks. This Is under ths management of the Sisters of Charity of Providence end was founded In 1875. .. Next cornea Good Samaritan hospital with 260 bed and a series of buildings in pavilion style, founded by the Rev. R. Wlstsr Morris, Episcopal bishop of Oregon.

A OOOS &A' From the Chicago Tribune A well known lawyer of Philadelphia, whose office I located close to the city bell, received e tremendous shock th other dey. He was counsel for a men charged with larceny, and, aa tha evi dence was conclusive he advised his client to plead guilty. "You know thet you have a had record and you have practically confessed your guilt, ssld the lswyer In a soothing manner, "and you will be sentenced to about three years In Jail." This last sentence completely dum- founded the prisoner, but after h had looked about hi cell for several min utes he turned to hi attorney, and In a serious manner said: 'Will you kindly go out and get me a good lawyer r A soon a th lawyer recovered from the ahock h told th prisoner be would argue the case for him.
