No one will remark, "who Is Tom Richardson?" That would be admission of never of Oregon, for Tom Richardson has made good as the leading pubillcity man of the coast In doing this, Port land and this state Lave gotten the . benefit I Now it does not matter who pays Tom's salary, or whether he gets a salary; you must Judge the man by bis work. .. , The concrete essence of any propo sition is the result. Tom Richardson has got results Portland was Bleep ing Just as many people In Union county are now sleeping until Rich ardson was attracted to this state. The first thing he told Portlanders ; was to wake up and spend some mon ey. Their hands went up in horror, for they had led the simple, con tended lire, hardly getting out of the way of Btreet cars. But Richardson Insisted and told them where money pent would bring returns. He got them to loosen a little, and a little more. Later he forced them to plunge right down In their hip pock ers and unroll their bank book. But it was not long, until things began to happen. New additions were laid out for Portland, Just as new ad ditions will soon be laid out for La Grande, admitting that things will ; run here on a much smaller scale than they did In Portland. Then came ' the easterner who knew nothing) about Portland and the northwest un- til he read some of Tom Richardson's ITOBpel truths. The easterner saw opportunities that the moss backed ! settle In Portland had walked over for ' for fifty years. He saw where waste ' land could be made to produce. He' saw a power site that could harness a stream and turn nature's power Into a commercial product He saw corner lots In Pertland, and bought them. And then the fireworks begun. Portland real estate more than dou- bled and many said, "Oh. it Is too. high. It Is a fickle boom and will, drop." . But Instead of dropping It dou- Diea again and again People grew rich In a week. Sev en story buildings are now common In Portland. Big deals are being made every day. 0 GEORGE PALMER, Pres P. J. HOLMES. TIiulP... ft .- t F. L.

It Is reliably stated that Francis Heney will soon leave the west and locate In New York. Rather a natu ral course for Mr. Heney to pursue. He will no doubt be better satisfied in the metropolis, for here in the west after a man has been as active as Mr. Heney has, there would be a long list of enemies ready to bom bard him at the least chance. His stay in the west has brought a great deal of good. It has helped start things in a better way, but Mr. Heney has fought his best fights. Con tinuation of his former course would grow monotonous to the people es pecially when so few convictions have followed. f AH will admit 'it was well for the west that Heney took an active part admitting also that things 'will be run ho tor TwAiiBn of his action, but the same people feel it is no mis take on Heney's part to locate In New York. Old Iowa with her republican foun dation stones firmly "set In a bed of party cement cannot see the new tar iff measure through Taft's glasses. Iowa says It Is wrong and shows why she thinks bo. But that doesnot mean that Iowa win leave the repub lican ranks. It merely indicates that she Is not in line with one issue that a republican president believes Is right. Iowa will try to convince Taft and failing to do so will ad here all the more closely to the re publican party and endeavor to right what Bhe believes to be wrong in the next national convention. And that Is the way to do business. When Louis Hill of the Northern Pacific railroad, reached Burns we would like to know what was the first thing Frank Davey said to him. Perhaps Is was what the gov ernor of North Carolina said to the governor of Couth Carolina, but more likely Frank rose to his full height and swore In sage brush language about the blankety blank neglect the railroads had been giving Harney county. Baker City has employed Mr. Ash ley, former private secretary for Wm McMurray of the 0. R. & N. as her publicity agent. This is the first time Baker has tried the paid booster prop osltlon and we sincerely hope she will get rich returns from her Invest ment. , "Wanted A lady. .
