London, March 30. -Both tho Ooid
and Cambridge crews have practically
Sn'shed their training for the treat
annual boat racf , which Is t bo rowed
Saturday aver the usual course from
Mortlake to Putney. Public tnterest
in the great acquatic event is unusual
ly keen this : year. ; For week, the :e
p rs have devoted columns :o the daily
work of" the two eights, while Una
veek the Thame's has been lined with
spectators to witness th- '
spins and to form opinions 83 to the
condition of the contestants :
It stems to be the general opinion
hat there will1?be a grant struggle.
The Oxonians are slight :., favorites,
which. !s due largely to the fact that
'hey got into ihape earlier in hf
season and have st:adily Improved In
Torm and steadiness. Like all crews
stroked by Mr, Bourne the Oxonians
have a steady swing and nice' rhythm
In ; their early practice work the
Cambridge nun were unlucky In los
ing the services of their second coaub.
In the borne waters the crew showed a
slower stroke than was desirable, but
since they appeared at Putney ; there
baa ben noticed . a steady improve
nen. It is now conceded that ever;
man In the crew Is a good worker
and that there is not a weak snot in
th; boat. The members of the crew
are for the mo3t part a very power
ful and heavy sat of men and many
experts incline to the opinion that
ambridg'e will quietly wear down 'Ir
rival crew in the Jatt:r part of th-
race. ' : . ' -
This will be the 68 "i race brt--
the two universities. Oxford hT jt'
the winner in thirty-six ' iozw.' ' r-'
Cambridge In thirty, while the cm -
1877 resulted in a dead heat. Theirs
time over the four-mile course, 18m

Montk-End Cnrtallment In Expense
Comes for Two Days This Month
One of the first month-end curtail
ment of txpenseg In many months was
ordered by Portland offices of the O.
W. last night and with the exception
of a few machinists, and a man or two
In each department, the entire O.-W.
machinery Is at a standstill today and
will be so again tomorrow.
This Is In harmony with the general
curtailment orders given out early In
the month when several train crews
were laid off and a large number of
other employes given temporary lay
offs.. The month-end curtailments will
likely be continued until the summer
business picks up again..- ,

"I would Be Glad to Trade
my Outside Investments for
Imbler Fruit Land."
This was the remark recently made by a man in
the Grande Ronde valley who listened and was
tempted by the oily agents for wireless stock, the
dignified agents for Portland city lots, the talkative
men for Seattle and Tacoma additions. : . ,
He bought some of all of them, believing the great 1
chance to make money was in another man's gams.
Now, he has awakened to the fact that "hills look
green far away" but that home securities and home
investments that can be looked after occasionally
beat anythinng offered by the "fly-by-night" agent. '
This man now realizes that there is plenty of money
on he coast to grab anything that looks like an in-r
vestment destined to return big dividends. Men do '
nothing but watch for such things in money centers
and they never let the good things get away.
What do they market away from home?
Here it is: f Several men go in together, and get
options on a piece of property. Little money is put
up except for hiring salesmen. Tnis "syndicate"
hires the best talent obtainable, gets out glowing lit
erature with pretty pictures and starts operation in
the interior country. ;
' One salesman said to a friend recently: "I always
like to sell from a blue print. It is far more attrac
tive than the property and besides the rough land,
ravines and brush piles do not show up on the print."
. .This syndicate pounds at their salesmen who work
very hard and the rersult is that the addition or what
ever it may be is finally unloaded and the stockhold
ers of the syndicate pocket a handsome profit, while
the people holding contracts cannot under any cir
cumstances sell their lots at what they paid for them.
The man referred to has bought something of all
offerings made by the outside men lately and he is
through. He now admits he would like to trade his
entire holdings for Imbler fruit land.
Is it not likely there will be others who will gladly
make the, same offer after :' they investigate what
they have been buying?
Bear in mind, there is nothing so staple as fruit-"
land, nothing so sure of bringing returns and at al(
times having afull value in your security The man
, with a few hundred dollars can now handle such land
with as secure protection as can the man with thous
ands..; Investigate what is being offered to you right here
at home before you send another dollar from this
community.
.Those having meritorious fruitland investment
offerings in the Imbler district are:
