Last year the fall colonist rate' period brought 13.000 people to Oregon 6ver the Harrlman lines, but this number, I am eure. will seem inalgnliflcant compared with the traffic we may look for this fall. ; ; v "The Harrlman Unea have spent for tunes In advertising Oregon In the east and it seems that the work will bring excellent results. It appears that the extensive publicity that has been carried on by the railroads and the commercial organizations Is now really beginning to bring results'. "The people In the east are getting more and mora interested In the west, and they are eager to seek their for tunes, in his new land, as they regard Oregon. '' ' " ; . -'- i, ' "Wi have already ascertained that It will be Impossible to handle the great colonist movement with our reg ular trains and bo It has been decided to operate special colonist trains to Oregon. These trains will reach Port land dally. They will be especially equipped for the traffic and will carry a special dining car Bervlce with oth er accommodations not heretofore af forded tlw, colonists. "To me it appears that Oregon, la Just becamlng known to the masses In the thickly populated sections of the east and I therefore look tor a re markable Increase In the westward colonist movement" : - ' Charles F.
