' Nineteen hundred-five is the year in which all , Oregon looks for a time ot prosperity. ' We loon for the much desired emigrants to come and take an interest in our state, and help to mature our resoroes.

We will not g t much Of the immigration that rightly belongs tons. The plumbs will be plucked by the other fellow. We oan do nothing advertising in the east because our advertising re sources are too limited. The Lewis and Clark Fair will do the advertising all over the world.

All the oitt es in Oregon east of the Blue Mountains should put their khold- er to the wheel and advertise all they oan In Portland. The business men of La Grande and vicinity should cause to be printed, a few thousand ot circulars every month and place them In tin hands of some good Union county man who Is going to Portland to atay a we; k and let him put a circular iuto the h inds of every homeaeeker he meets. The late laud fraud cases now under trial in . Portland has set up quite a feeling of dietrast In the mlads ot hrimeseekers. They are afraid the titles to the land are no good and so hesitate. Bealestste men are cutting esobother's throats by telling that the other fellow's title is no good. Better come to Union county. Post.
