BIG RUSH OF PEOPLE
WILL SOON BEGIN
It Is ax pec ted that by next week the
vanguard of tbe great army of colonisti
and bomeseekers will begin to arrive in
Oregon and Washington. The colonists
rates frm the middle west and north
west are now in effect on all the trans
continental railroads It la a one-way
colonist rate and will be effective from
March 1 until May 15. It applies to
second clasp travel only.
The railroad officials are unauimoua
in predicting for Oregon and Washing
ton tbe largest influx of settlers and
bomeseekers this Spring in Its history.
They say that each time the colonist
rates go into effect, which is generally
twbe a year, me travel to the north-
eat always establishes a new record.
But this Spring the travel Is expected
to be exceedingly heavy, owing to the
extensive advertising that has been
done for the Lewis and Clark exposl-

Attacks On Newspapers
Budding legislators who seek fame
oaa gel as much as lies within their
power of attainment by some better
method than attacks upon newspapers
It is becoming the regular thing at
eaoh session of tbe legislature for
some gentleman to introduce a bill
designed to enmesh newspapers more
closely in libil laws. It is a choap
way to get notoriety.
A visitor from another land, read
ing of these bills, would imagine that
Pennsylvania newspapers sre criminal
by profession and character destroy
ing by preference, whereas the exact
contrary is tbe ose. If the news
paper should tell all thty know about
gentlemen who are prominent among
those who would bind and gag them
the prisons would be overpopulated.
It ia said in explanation of this bi
ennial bunting o! the newspapers that
it is inspired by officials who object to
publio chronicling of their sine of
omission and com tn lesion. We are
not incliued to believe this, for every
oflioial knows that his aots are law
fully open to review.
Generally speaking, the newspaper
press is a bulwark against official ras
cality and publio lawlessness and ev
ery man ia more or less aware of the
fact that no bill designed to cripple
the prss deserves an instant's atten
tion. Harrhburg (Pa) Tolegram .

Uon In nearly all tbe advertising
that bas been sent out, Portland is one
jot tbe predominate features and
Oregon and Washington always receive
a oertaia amount of attention
In this way Portland and the north
west has been brought to the attention
of thousands and thousands of eastern
people who heretofore have notrealii
ed their importance. They have beard
more of California than they have of
Oregon or Washington until recently.
The railroads also have in (he last
three or four ytars made greater efforts
to induce immigration to tbe north
west. -
Tbs railroad men base their predic
tion of a reoord breaking immlratlon

fact that the railroad offices In tbe east
have been swamped with inquiries
regarding t-"l olty and the immediate
