A Flag Station.
A recent order of the manager» of
tne Corvallis A Eastern It. It. went in­
to effect tlie first of the week, whereby
all Station agents of the company’ be­
tween Albany and Detroit, with the
exception of Mill City, are dispensed
with, and all stations except the saw
mill city arc made flag stations. This
order throws station agent O rilf King,
of Kingston, out of a job, and causes
consternation am ong the Stayton
shippers. Considerable freight goes
from this place over the 0 . & E., and
the am ount is fast increasing. W ith

that point, shipments from Stayton

*Wc have heard no reason given for
this action on the part of the railroad,
hut it was probably dune on the score
of econom y. Now that the S. p . owns
the C. it E. road, it evidently thinks*
that it will handle all th^ freight to
ami from this place via W est Stayton,
and consequently docs not need the
Kingston
station.
However, this
change will cut down the shipm ent»
from thi» place, and considerable
freight will go out by team. For in­
stance, the mills can haul Hour to A l­
bany cheaper than they can haul to
West Stayton and ship around by rail.
A petition has been presented, sign­
ed by business men, asking that a sta­
tion he again made of Kingston and
it is hoped the com pany will act favor­
ably upon the matter.
parts of tlie Stale, realizing the im ­
portance of these rates, are announcing
the ilctails about them to their c o n ­
gregations and are asking that they
write to their relatives and friends at
a distance and tell them how cheaply
they can com e to Oregon.
Get your com m ercial body, or some
one of your business men to offer a
prize to the boys and girls wli6 will
write the greatest number of letter»,
or who will get actual results in bring­
ing another family into your co m ­
munity.
The wotk of advertising these co lo ­
nist rates is up to each com m unity
and each individual. If we could add
a hundred thousand to the population
of Oregon in the next year it would
mean many millions of dollars of ad­
ditional wealth to the State.
The school population of one district
in Tillam ook County was doubled in
six months thru the correspondence
of the pupils. Corvallis caused the
sale of $600,000 worth o f land through
advertising in well-known agricultur­
al papers in the older state». The
Oregon Development League received
over 16,000 inquiries from people
wanting to know about Oregon farm­
ing lands.
There is an intens desire to com e to
the Pacific Northwest on the part of
the people of the United States and
this is particularly true of Oregon.
Make it. intensely true of your com ­
munity. See your local agent and
