No news that hu. bee received by the people of Oregon dur ln.f the last 24 months Is ho Important us the announcement that tha trans- continental railroads will make a rate, beginning March 1 and continuing un til April 30, from Kansas City, Omaha St, Paul and Minneapolis, Winnipeg and other similarly situated towns, to all main line railroad points in .Ore gon, for 25. The people of no state In the union have profited more by these one-way tickets than have those of Oregon dur ing the last four yearn. The rate from Chicago Is $3), from St. Louis $30.59 with a proportionate low fare from all points in the United States. This should udd many thousands of actual settlers to the population -of Oregon. These are one-way tleki ts, and i travelers desire to return to their for mer homes in the older eastern states they would have to pay full fare. Every commercial club and adver tising bureau In the state, as well as every ral estate firm, should begin immediately to advertise these rates Every citizen of Oregon should write personal letters to out friends ynd a o r.Mrtinc" reminding them .hat tV rate Is good to their town.
