Portland, Jan. 18. (Special corres
pondence.) 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. But tin
ticket most be bought to the p-dnt ol
destination it's Just as cheap to the
most distant Oregon point as to one
Just over the border of the state.
On the 12th the Uoseburg Commer
cial club celebrated the opening of Its
beautiful new club, built expressly fo-
them. Guests from different parts of
the state were present, and an elab
oiate banquet was served by the La
dles' auxiliary of the club.
' The welcome thaw extending over
the Pacific northwest did not inter
fere with the Walla Walla-OaMfornta
excursionists, who reached Portland,
last Saturday ns expected. A car ride
over the city, dinner and evening re
ception at the Portland Commercial
club, were features of their entertain
ment. 1
Two events of Interest last week
were the meeting of the Oregon State
Assessor's association from the 12th
ic the 14lh, and the Fourteenth An
mini convention of the Oregon State
Poultry association, both In Portland.
Closing the most successful year ol
its organisation, the Portland Chamber
of Commerce gave Its annual dinner
.m January Ulh, with almost 3o0
guests gathered around the tables,
aueouver. Wash., has employed P.
C. Lavey, one of America's most ef
fective advertisers, a splendid orator
and organizer, as secretary of Its Com
mercial club. They are determined to
raise $10,000 for an advertising fund,
and at a recent meeting $4000 was sub
scribed In an hour.
