It's a loue time since Portland busi

and thirty points are vhdtod. Both

are included, and ull t' e big jumps
that consume time are travelled in the

busiuoss men comnoKo the party, aud
as a result of this four days spent in
western and southern Oregon thev
will net a better id-'a of the universa
prosperity aud ndv .nanuopt of these
communities tlui'i ther could gain in
a year from their offices
A number of prooiintnt citizens of
Oregon have rucoivcd invitations
throuuh lion John Barrett, director
of the bureau of American republics,
to be present at the dedication ot the
new building at tho nation'! capital
April aflth. One of the most lieautiful
rooms in this attract ve bmliling is
finished throughout with Oregon fir,
the mill work made right in Oregon
from special design and furnished by
the Oregon & Washington Lumber
Manufacturers Association. Distin
guishod personages to speak at tho
dedicatory oxercises are President
Taft, the seorotary ot state: ambassa
dor of Moiioo, Senator Elihu Root and
Mr. Andrew Carnegie.
For the last three voars Orogon has
been chief among the states in attract
Jug Western iumiiuratiou and while
it is too early for comprehensive fig
ures on this year's colonist travel it is
already oertaiu that tho'total will be
the biKgest yet, Trains havo been
running iu from two to four sections
to accommodate the travel, aud owing
to the active work or tho Oregon Ve
velopmeut League in furnishing ad
vance information through the oom
meroial bodies in dozens of Orogon
communities, thoBe newcomers have
their minds definitely made up as to
location, and buy their ticket to that
point.
Tho port commissioners of Tillamook
havo agreed to improve the channel
from the bay. This will make the
town more easily reached by vessels,
and aid considerably in retaining the
commercial supremacy of that point.
It seoms strange that men with large
holdings of valuable town property,
dependent lor future mcieuieut in
value upon the ship channels being
improved aud kept open, will oppose
such work, but Tillamook is iu part
oom posed ot soma very uear-sightod
laud speculators. Thoro are the others
wholes that publio improvements in
crease laud values, aud boost accord
iugly.
In Wallowa County the deposits of
marble are enormous. Recently at
tontiou has been again called to the
fact that the best lime iu all the west
is mads from it. With reasonable
consideration from the transportation
oombiue of Oregou this valuable asset
will be dovi loped, aiidlande now very
nearly worthless except for the timber
or pasturage will be of immense value
Tho people of Joseph. Wallowa
County, are hoping that the O. R. &
N. will build a million-dollar hotel
there for tourists who wish to see the
wonderful scenery, timber, hunting,
fishing, etc, which boats auythiug
Switzerland has to show. The scenery
is on exhibit all the year round with
out any millioii-dollur hotel, and some
troops ot nature-lovers have already
taken it in.
Orogon novor got an advertifomeut
o wide-reaching or so striking as a
lull page advertisement, witli Port
laud as the central feature, which ap
peared last Sunday iu the Now York
World, Indianapolis Star, Ohioago
Record-Herald, Chicago Tribnue,
Minneapolis Tribune, St. Louis Ulobe
Oemocrat, Kansas City Star aud
Omaha Dee.
An association of honest farmers in
uoitheru Now York is contemplating
renaming one of its bills Mount Hood,
aud thereby scouring a legitimate
label tor its apple orchards for miles
around. This boats moving to Oregon.
UnivorBal elation is felt over the
assurance of horticultural experts
that the fruit crop of Oregon will
break all records iu 1910.
The good roads movement purposes
to permit counties to issue bonds to
build roads with. "
Banquet to Be Held at Eugene
Probably one or the most unique
banquets ever held iu the state is to
be held soon by students of the Uni
versity of Oregon. It is a "Know
Oregon" banquet, at which none but
Oregon products will be on the mpun
Every commercial organization will
be asked to furnish its reasons whv
its locality is the best in the state
aud these reasons will be set forth iu
characteristic booster speeches by
prominent students from the various
counties. Likewise, on the belief
that the "proof of the pudding is in
the eating, ' ' each commercial organi
zatiun must back its reasons with the
goods. Thus Hood River will vie
with Medford for apples, Marion
county with Lane for cherries, Astoria
will show salmon, Yamhill go against
the world for walnuts and potatoes,
and so on through the list. It is ex
pected that the banquet will be a time
of great merriment and at the same
time serve to show the students the
great resources of all parts of Oregon.
"The greatest commencement week in
the history of the university" and
"Everybody comes," were the slogans
adopted at a rousing meeting or. the
University of Oregon alumni held the
12tli. Plans were disoussed and oom
mittees appointed to assist in, making
the week a notable one. The class of
'85 will hold a groat celebration iu
honor of its twenty-fifth anniversary
and elaborate reparations for the
event are being made. It is expected
that every member will return. Like'
wise, anniversary celebrations will
be held by the classes of 1890, 181)5,
1!)00 and 11I05. Alumni Day, Tueday,
June 31, will be orowded with events
from morning to night. The Alumni
banquet will be held in the new gym
nasium Wednesday afternoon and the
Alumni ball in the Armory Wednes
day evening. ,
For the first time in the history of
Oregon, the Southern faoino has
granted reduoed rates for attendants
at the University of Oregon Summer
School. The reduoed rates go into
effect Saturday, June 18, and continue
through ttie session to its close, Sat
urday, AuguBt o, thereby making it
possible for teachers attending the ses
sion to save materially in railroad
fare. Reduoed rates have also been
grauted for the two state durational
conferences to be held at the univer
sity the week previous to the opening
of the summer school, aud for the ex
eroises of commencement week, JuneJ
19-23. Lvery indioatlon points to an
exceptionally large attendance at all
of those events.
H. L. WARD WRITES
Jefforsoo. Ore., April 18, 1910.
Editor Courier: In answer to in
quiring friends I would like to tell
them through the columns of your
paper about Jefferson, my future
home. Jefferson is situated on the
north bank of tho Sautiam river,' fi8
miles south of Oregon City, 16 miles
by county road south of Salem and 9
miles north of Albany, in one of the
most fertils spots of Oregon, highly
developed in some lines.suoh as dairy
ing, fruit raising and general farm
ing. Tin re am sitll hundreds of acres of
land uncleared, settled bv homestead
ers. Some of tne larger traots have
been cut up into smaller tract i and
planted to fruit, and in a few years
the owners have realized double aud
treble what they paid for tho land
There is no better field for invest
ment today than right around Jeffer
son, where telephoue, rural delivery
faud good roads are being extended in
every direction. There is a good
market for everything a farmer has
to sell aud a fair ohauce for one who
wants to work out.
Jefferson is finely situated on the
Santiam rivej and has many beauti
ful homes aud cottages of modern ar
chitecture and the bout school iu the
state for a town of its size.
A new bridge will be built across
the river this summer to cost not loss
than $00,000, and Jefferson is also oil
the survey of the Oregou Electric Rail
road from Salem to Albany.
The industries of Jeifersou at pres
ent consist of one sawmill, a flour
mill, city electrio plant, city water
plant aud creamery, besides an opeia
house, four other halls, blacksmith
shops, two hotels aud twelve bnsiness
houses. Respectfully yours,
H. L. WARD.
P Tho development of both tho Colum
bia aud Willamette rivers has been the
topic of important meetings during
the past week one at Pasco, the other
at Albany and both had splendid attendance.
The February number of the Uni
versity of Oregon bulletin has been
received, announcing ror next year
tlie courses offoied by the Uuiversity
School of Education. The University,
by means of the School of Education,
is now prepared to train teachers for
high school subjeota and departments,
superintoudenoies, priucipalships and
administrative positions, and special
teachers of musio aud physical train
ing. The Bivme requirements for ad
mission obtain in the School of Edu
cation as in the other departments.
Among other things the Bulletin n.tes
that while the demand foi tenohert, in
the different subjects fluctuates from
year to year, there are certain strong
tendencies evident in all western uni
versities, one of whioh is toward an
oversupply of teachers in English and
history, and scarcity of teachers in
mathematics and physics.
Western Orogon has produced con
siderable gold and silver in past
years, but the bulletin describes only
tho Bohemia and Cracker Creek dis
tricts, in whioh comparatively little
work is now in progress. The Bo
hemia district, where mining has been
done for years, lias produoed perhaps
1 100, 000, mainly in free gold. Pros
pecting iu the region is carried on
rather vigorously, and it is reasonable
t) suppose that other workable de
posits will sooner or later be discov
ered despite the dense mass of vegeta
tion that conceals them. The Cracker
Crook district, in tho Blue Mouutain
gold belt, lies across the famous
'mother lode. Ouly one mine was
producing at the time it was visited,
but it was expected that others would
soon bogiu produotiou.
The studonta of the Engineering
School of the Orogon Agricultural
College gave an olootrio bIiow Friday
and Saturday night which proved a
great success. Many electrio freaks
were exhibited aud some of the re
markable wavs in whioh eleotrioity
Ims boon applied to present day prob
lems were illustrated. A comnleta
electrical home equipment, an isolat
ed power piaut, a wireloss telephoue.
an antouiatio telephoue, an X-ray
maunine ami two nn nature Hying ma
chines were among the exhibits.
Tho students in charge of the show
were, A. Fiulav, R. L. Davidsou,
O. P. Richards, C. A. Vincent, D. 11.
Kowe, F. E. Pernot, H. D. Marsh,
E. A. Sorousou aud A. II. Schmidt.
Among the novelties of inveution
described in the Mav Popular Mechan
ics is a teakettle that whistles olioer
ily, to let the housewife know that
the water is boiling and that the gas
may be tamed down.
The Habit uf'Outdoor Sleeping "
Find out all you can about it. Then
suggest a trial of it. Talk to that
eud, Plan to that end. Finally re
solve that you will do it.
Put plenty of bedding underneath
as well as over. The danger of tak
ing cold is reduced to a minimum
when one is entirely out of doors. It
is not to be compared with sleeping in
a room with the windows open where
drafts play to aud fro.
The whole world is on a crusade
against tuberculosis, which is one of
the most common results of impure
air. If one doubts the eilioaoy of out
door sleeping aud living, let them
compare the phys cal strength of cat
tle herders with bookkeeper The
picture needs no explanation.
The habits ot indoor sleeping and
outdoor sleeping form as great a con
trast and the latter habit will go a
long way toward 4uildiug up strong,
healthy boys and girl for a vigorous,
long lived niaiihood aud womanhood.
Better Be Safe Than Sorry
The check account does more than furnish the
user safety.
There is the convenience of writing a check for
the exact amount to be paid. In addition to
having indisputable evidence of each transac
tion, the man who pays by check has a simple
method for accuracy in business.
" The check account is safe, simple and conven
ient It will be all of this for YOU.
Anti-spitting ordiuimces, laws and
regulation iu more than five-eighths
of the oities and towns of the country
are not enforced as they fhoald be,
alleg-sthe National Association for
the S udy aud Prevention of Tubercu
losis in a lulletin issued recently.
Whilj most of the larger ciiiej of the
United States have sunh laws on their
books, in the great majority of cases
they are ignoted or oveilnoked.
The bulletin is preliminary to a
more extensive study of the subject
whioh will be presented at the next
mooting of tin National ' ABSooiation
in Washington ou May 8, by Robert J.
Newton of St. Louis. It covers in de
tail the enforcement of the anti-spitting
ordinances in 80 of the largest
oities iu the country. During the
year 1909 in these 80 cities, 8,431 ar
rests were made for violation of the
laws regarding spotting in publio
places. Over 3,900 convictions were
seoured and ft, 100. 87 was collected iu
fines.
New York City had more arrests
than any other oity, having had 3,613,
with 3,099 convictions, aud $ 1, 936. 80
nolleoted in fines. Baltimore comes
next with 214 arrests and an equal
number of oonviotions. Pittsburg is
third in rank with St. Louis in fourth
place. St Louis, however, would
have been in second placo, if the sani
tary police who enforce the law in
that oitv had been at work iu 1909.
In 63 cities out ot the 80 the law was
either not enforced at all or very
poorly enforced. Of the remaiinug
28 oities, less than one-half of them
coutributed mure than three-fourths
of the arrests for spitting and of the
fines collected.
On account of the fact that National
Tuberonlosis Sunday will be observed
ou April 24, the National Association
is calling the attention of clergymen
in all parts of the country to the ad
visabiliy of bringing tefore their con
gregations the necessity for bettor en
forcement of the anti-fpitting laws.
For Constipation
Mr. L. H. Faruham, a prominent
droggiat of Spirit Lake, Iowa, says:
"Chamberlain's Stomaoh and Liver
Tablsets are certainly the best thing
on the market for constipation "
Give these tablets a trial. You are
oertain to find them agreeable aud
pleasant in effect. Price 25 cents.

The Y. M. O. A. iu Portland is con
ducting classes iu a number of useful
lines of industry. Practical equip
ments and careful instructors set
other ideals before the young meu
than trying with their wits to secure
what others produce The young man
of today is too much inclined to look
upon speculation rather than useful
industry as a desirable method of living.

UNION PACIFIC LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY
OF PORTLAND, OREGON-
Why Capital Stock at a Premium ?
It is customary for financial institutions to charge a PREMIUM for their capital stock in
order to realize sufficient funds to have a SURPLUS in addition to their bare capital.
If a life insurance company ouly realizes the PAR VALUE of its capital stock from its
subscribers and then should purchase a leab pencil it would be insolvent.
The capital stock of a life iusurauce coLupauy is a LIABILITY and must under the laws
of the state be invested in first mortgage securities of at lett double the value of tke amount
loaned, aud can n'o't be used for expenses or to pay death claims.
In the early history of a life insurance company it should have a LARGE SURPLUS be
cause the public is timid about taking out insurance in any company, and especially cautious
about a small or young company, that has a small surplus.
The FOUNDATION EXPENSES of its organization and establishing its agencies upon
a good working basis should be properly provided for.
ADVANTAGES
of Union Pacific Life Insurance Co. Over All New Companies
Because the CAPITAL STOCK of the UNION PACIFIC LIFE INSURANCE COMt"
PANY will be scattered among influential men all over the country, who will take ah interes
in the-enterprise. " .
Because it will OUT RANK and have a GREAT ADVANTAGE over the company that
Mas NO SURPLUS or the one that is owned and controlled by a few men in any particular
