AS YOU READ THE FOLLOWING, REMEMBER ALL ENORMOUS AMERICAN FORTUNES HAVE BEEN
MADE THROUGH THE RISE AND FALL OF THE STOCK MARKET. AFTER EACH FALL OF BIL
LIONS THE MARKET GOES UP BILLIONS. TO MAKE MILLIONS IN EVERY RISE AND EVERY
FALL, ALL THAT IS NECESSARY IS THE TRAINING TO KNOW WHEN TO BUY AND WHEN
TO SELL AND POSSESSION OF THE MACHINERY TO BUY AND SELL. REMEMBER
THIS AS YOU READ, AND THAT SOME OF US HAVE THE TRAINING.

Citizens' League Prepares
Pamphlet Showing Ex

Climatic Conditions of Best, and
County Exploited as Equal In
Healtli-Pronio'on to Any
in World.
BAKER CITY., Or.. Aug. 8. (Spe
cial ) Believing that a rumor whlcH
soemed to have gained wide circulation
that Baker Clty'a water supply had
suffered damage from recent cloud
bursts In the mountains, W. J. Patter
son, an officer of the Citizens' League,
has comoiled i.he following data 'rela
tive to the water system, and with it
some general information relative to
Baker City and County which will be
published in pamphlet form at once and
circulated broadcast. It follows:
Haker City owns and operates Its own
water pyBii-m, installed In 1WI3 at a cost of
$:joo ooo In point of purity of Its water,
and the abundance of Its supply. Faker City
is exceeded by no city In the United States.
Far up amonic the highest snowbound
peaks of the Elkhorn Mountains, which
rise in charming: majesty to the west of
the cltv. Is Marble Iake. fed by ever-Uvlns
uprlnjra and melt ins; snow. Here, at an
elevation of about So0 feet, is the beginning
of the water system that supplies Baker
City.
The water from this never tainted source
Is conveyed through pipes, along the moun
tain about S4 miles to Salmon Creek.
From this point the water Is soon In
creased In volume by the waters of another
stream, the Little Salmon Creek. By means
of many miles of steel and vitrified pipe the
water Is conveyed onward until It finally
reaches the city reservoir, which is located
on a foothill at the southwest limits of the
city and 200 feet higher than the street
level. The capacity of this reservoir is
about 1 ooo.ihio gallons. The Vlty also ues
the waters of Klk Creek, which makes Its
way down the eastern and southern slope
of the Klk horn Mountains.
In addition to the above named aources
of water supply, the city owns three more
valuable streams, which can be connected
with our present system when necessity re
quires, to furnish a sufficient water supply
for a city of over 200.000.
Baker City in lighted with electricity and
furnished with electrical power by the
Baker Light Sc. Power Company. The waters
of Rock Creek. In the Elkhorn Range,
northwest of Baker City, have been har
nessed by this company and afford a sup
ply of electrical energy which 1 amply suf
ficient to meet the demand made upon the
company at the present time. This plant
was Installed In 1!"3. and has a capacity of
about tHMi K. W., or lH.OoO candle-power
lights. There Is a substation In Baker City
where a delivery of 22,50" volts from the
plant Is transformed down to 230O. Thia
company has an auxiliary steam power
plant located In South Baker. This plant
can supply added electrical efficiency to the
extent of 50 K. W. or i0u candle-power
lights. Several mines In the immediate vi
cinity of Baker City are supplied with light
and power by this company.
Baker City's neighboring mountains con
tain no end of possibilities for the devel
opment of electricity by water power. When
he city is ready for It there will be plenty
of power for all purposes Incident to a
great city
Few. Indeed, of the resources and possi
bilities of Eastern Oregon and Baker County
have been exploited less than those which
appertain to climate Influences and local
and general sanitation and health condi
tions. Baker County is admirably situated, being
a rich basin of land, almost surrounded In
crescent form, by a gap In the Blue Moun
tain Divide.
The drainage is perfect, which is ap
parent. In part, from the rapid current of
Powder River and also from the clear fact
that no stagnant lake or swamp ts within
a hundred miles of Its vicinity.
The altitude Is about 35H) feet above sea
level, absolutely above all miasmatic .In
fluences and yet not of such elevation as
to Induce the slightest distress or discom
fort to persons afflicted with pulmonary or
heart irritations. In this section of Oregon
we get more than 300 days of entire sun
shine In the year (and the thermometer
ranges from zero to ST or 90 degrees in the
shade, extremes rarely exceed this), and
the cold weather is singularly In keeping
with the warm as the daylight atmosphere
moderates both extremes and tempers the
season to unusual but pteasant equability.
The nights are cool, tonic and sedative,
hence the reconstructive effect of sound re
pose Is obvious. The Summers, Autumns
and Winters are ideal, and with the excep
tion of a few harsh days in March and
April, the climate for continuous outdoor
work, and general salubrity, is unsurpassed
anywhere on earth.
The mountains most picturesque In their
perpetual snowcaps are covered with dense
forests of Oregon pine. nr. tamarack and
cedar, which exhale continuously a pleasing
resinous odor.
The annual rainfall Js about 1? Inches,
just enough to germinate, in good season,
the various grains and grasses until the
time for artificial Irrigation is ready (will
remark that the water supply from the
mountains Is practically unlimited and In
chemical reaction contains scarcely a trace
of organic matter, and Is. otherwise, of the
softest and purest quality. Beside this,
the county, owing to is volcanic formation,
abounds In mineral springs of hot and cold
water.
In this remarkably well tempered climate
not too hot; not too cold the comforts
to man and animal life are, I belle ve. In
comparable. There are no venomous rep
tiles, scarcely, no poisonous insects; In fact,
none more annoying than the common
housefly. No rodent to carry bubonic or
other plagues, only a few mosquitoes and
those of the nonstygmatic species which do
not disseminate malaria.
The air Is fine, bracing and rich In ozone,
and believe the opinion Is substantially
correct, that less consumption or tubercu
losis is Induced here than In any other sec
tion of the country; that It Is preferable to
Arizona or Southern California.
Of all forms of disability to which this
climate Is peculiarly and undoubtedly bene
ficial. It Is to those unfortunates suffering
from nervous exhaustion and Impaired men
tally, the return compliment of our strenu
ous rare In life and Its conflict with Na
ture's Inexorable laws. Amongst the most
favored hygienic Influences In the treatment
of thene diseases are first a thoroughly stim
ulating and reconstructive atmosphere, and
-secondly coatlnus djLily sunshine without
superheating.
European physicians who specialise on
these sub-facts, send their patients to fol
low the snow line from the Alps and Pyren
nes They live an outdoor life In tents and
rustic abodes, are dieted on cheese and mild
butter, egg and wine, and the results are
astonishing. Surely, if this Is the accepted
doctrine of thw hour, no place Is pregnant
of greater possibilities In the pursuit of
science than in the towering snowcapped
mountains Immediately overlooking Baker
City.
HERMISTON GROWING FAST
Many New Swelling Houses
Course of Construction.
In
HERMISTON. Or.. Aug-. 9. (Special.)
There la much activity In the build
ing line, both In the town of Hermis
ton and on the Umatilla Government
irrigation project. A person acquainted
with the town of Hermiston 90 days
ago would be surprised to see the
large number of houses Just completed
and In course of construction.
Many new houses are being built oa
small tracts all over the Umatilla pro
ject. At one point, two miles east of
town, several house are being built on
adjoining tracts until it now looks like
a small village. The buildings are of a
substantial nature.

MAIS RESKRVOIR, BAKER CITY WATER SYSTEM
ONLY PRUNES LIGHT
Other Fruits Average Crop in
Clark County.
RAINS CAME AT BAD TIME
Washed Pollen Off So That Little
Fruit Formed Good Outlook
for Apples and Pears and
Big Hay Crop.
VANCOUVER, Wash!. Aug. 9. (Spe
cial.) The highest estimate made with
regard to the prune crop of Clark County
for this year places the yield at 25 per
cent of that of last year. The year 1907
was a banner year, the county producing
250 carloads or 5000 tons, whereas this
year the chances are that there will be
not to exceed 1250 tons. What fruit there
Is, however, gives promise of being of
the finest quality.
A. J. Stalnaker, one of the large prune
buyers, has been all over the county, and
he figures that the yield will not be more
than 63 carloads. H. G. Smith, who is
one of the big fruitgrowers, thinks a quar
ter crop a conservative estimate, while
Scott Swetland, who buys for Armsby
& Co., does not think that there will be
more than 25 carloads, though the un
usual excellence of the fruit will partly
counterbalance, in his opinion, the small
yield. The price, this year, also, will be
below that of last year, for the prune
crop abroad and in California is large.
Bearing Orchards Scattered.
Some localities suffer more than others,
and yet the orchards that are in bearing
are scattered over different parts of the
county. On the Mill Plain most of the
orchards . will have three-fourths of a
crop. In the vicinity of La Camas some
fruitgrowers will have half a crop while
others will have as good a yield as last
year. On Fourth Plain the prune crop Is
a total failure. In the Lake Shore and
Fruit Valley section there will be about
half a crop in most of the orchards.
Around Hawkinson and Proebstel there
will be very little.
Rains Came at Wrong Time.
The cause of this failure this year
which failure Is very unusual was not
due, as was thought at first by some, to
the frost, but rather to the fact that rain
came just when most of the prune trees
were ready to pollenize and the dampness
prevented the winds from carrying the
pollen from tree to tree. On the whole,
the better-kept orchards had pollenlzed
before the rains began, and thus with
them no Injury resulted from the storms.
Other Crops Do Well.
Other kinds of fruit, such as peaches,
pears, apples and small fruits, will this
year have their average yield.
The hay crop in Clark County this sea
son was a big one and has proved most
encouraging to the large dairying inter
ests. The growing of hops Is one of the com
ing Industries of Clark County. There
are no big hopyards as yet, that is, none
over 25 acres, but quite a large number of
farmers have been experimenting for sev
eral years with the hops and they have
found that yits section is admirably suited
to the growing of this plant, and the re
sult was that last year saw large fields
planted to hops, and this year still more
territory will be given over to this industry.
WATER WORKS FOR JOSEPH
Preliminary Operations for Obtain
ing It Under Way.
JOSEPH. Or.. Aug 9. (Special.) The
denial of the motion for rehearing In the
case Involving the Portland charter was
made the starting point by the Joseph
City Council for preliminary work in the
matter of installing a complete city water
system here.
Joseph's new charter, which permits the
property-owners to vote bonds for city
water, was In the same condition as that
of Portland, and the majority of the
Council ' being in favor of a city water'
system, the matter will be pushed as fast
as possible, since all uncertainty has been
removed. The system will be a gravity
system, the water being obtained from
Wallowa Lake. The officials are corre
sponding with various engineers and con
struction companies in regard to the matter.
LOGGING CAMPS RESUME
Large Number of Men Again Put to
Work Xear Kelso.
KELSO. Wash.. Aug. 9. (Special.) The
coming of genuine prosperity Is plainly
Indicated by the -opening of two large
lumber camps in this vicinity this week.
The Tongue Point Lumber Company has
again commenced operations and In a
few days will have a full force of men
at work, while the Weyerhaeuser Company
is hiring its quota of loggers as rapidly
as possible.
It is reported that other camps will com
mence operations in the immediate future
and everyone is rejoicing accordingly.
BLOW OUT BEECHER ROCK
Improvement Planned for Eugene
Mapleton Wagon Road.-
EUGENE, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) In the
Improvements which the County Court has
authorized for the Eugene-Mapleton wagon
road, the most noteworthy is the order to
blow out Beecher Rock, and Commissioner
Price will soon take up this big task.
Beecher Rock, which overhangs the Sius
law road, will be remembered by every
one who has made the trip to Mapleton.
as the most dangerous point on the trip.
The rock, which is a mammoth one weigh
ing thousands of tons, will be blown to
pieces and & better and safer road cut out
In the side of the mountain.
A
To the American People:
.... - ....4U fAlA
If ever In the past I have earned consideration ior vrui.i
and warnings flown. I now demand for the statements that follow
your best thought and closest' heed. This is the first of three ad
vertisements displayed today in like e-pace in the great newspapers
of the world, and to be repeated tomorrow and the day after in
like space in tne same publications. I have never written snau
never write, anything of graver import to you and to myself.
I purpose to set down your actual financial condition, the un
derlying moves by which you have been cornered, what your posi
tion means to you. and the instable consequences ahead. My facts
are too stern for breakfast-food smoothness. You must taKe
ttraight. strong man-fashion talk if you would get good from what
I've got to offer. ' '
Tho. three advertisements are preliminary 10 a iuim,
irhich I shall put before you a proposition, the most startling ever
nnde by a responsible financier. A proposition radical as an air
ship, though sound as a diver s ben. ui io gr.t "-""---

The situations
FIRST. The reign of Roosevelt Is over. His eat-em-allve teeth
have been drawn by the system's expert painless .den''try-h "'3
papier mache battering ram. which made echo for his war whoops.
Las crumpled up against the hard, yellow metal bulwarks of the
dollar hordes. The muckrakers, having laid down their tools are
busy enameling the glossy surfaces which they scratched: the daily
papers bulge with accounts of the charities dispensed y Morgan
and Rockefeller, with the people's money; the weeklies 1 prat the
photographs of these financial guardian angels, and throughout
the land resounds the trusts' new slogan, "Let us alone.
' f , ...1.1. nf tho v-tem-i nettv officers are In Jan. a lew
more intermediaries have committed suicide and the sjstera has
been deprived of the services of some of those- "Higher ups. who
prefer the European climate, but the system banks and trust com
panies have been fumigated, the sianaara jiis, im "-"""'hi.? "h
Union Pacific have been re-varnished, the system havl"S.furblshed
up its old tools, sees its opportunity again at hand, and Is ready
. v.i, it. hnslnns T know the workings of the system.
I have complete knowledge of the methods by which
past 50 years, the system masters have appropriated to themselves
the billions that belong to the people, the same methods by which
.1 . onr,o. th neon e'n earnings in 1908. I Know
hot?. ; by use of thl. ! stolen wealth; they "have acquired authority to
such a degree.
FIRST That panics which wreck system-opposed banks, trust
companies, railroads and industries, wiping out in a.ay the people s
savings of years, can be and are produced at the will of a few men.
SECOND. That Presidents can be, and are, forced upon the
people at the bidding of the system.
THIRD. That Senate, Congress and Courts can be and are,
tricked and corrupted into legally compelling the people to bend
their necks for each additional burden.
FOURTH That the price of the necessities and luxuries of the
people can be, and are. made and controlled by direct and system
made taxation, amounting to billions of dollars annually which
billions go to swell the fortunes of those few whose only right to
this wealth Is their ability, by the use of these fortunes, to compel
the people to do the system's bidding.
My opportunity:
Realizing the power of the system, the means through which it
had been attained and how It is even now being employed I know
it would be frivolous for me to come before the people and request
them, in any ordinary way, to help me destroy the system.
Years ago I began to marshal my plans, and, single-handed, I
have hewn to the lines of them, now inside the system's camp, now
outside in the courts and Legislatures, then shoulder to shoulder
with the head of the Government, in the press. In magazines and
in books sometimes apparently losing ground. I have made constant
headway until at last I have reached my objective point.
I have waited until men could see for themselves that these
financial potentates upon whom they looked as the great person
ages of the land were the meanest of thieves, that they dally com
mitted crimes worse than those I laid at their doors years ago, when
the world exclaimed, upon reading them: "He must be crazy." and
that the mighty power they possessed was superior to the will ot
the people and overrode the law, institutions and Government of
our country.
For years I have maneuvered for the position which is mine
today. In that time the system has tried by all the ingenious, un
scrupulous tricks of which it is the master, and through all the de
vious powerful agencies which are at its call, to discredit and crush
me At the cost of millions to itself It has falsified my predictions
(as in Yukon), causing enormous temporary- losses to my friends
and bringing down bitter criticism upon myself.
I am now ready with tha instrument by the direction of which:
Boston, August 10. 1908.
' FIRST The American people will come into the bllllona
savings out of which thev have been plundered during the past hall
.century' by that adroit, monkey-consclenced. all-powerful few whom
I have lantern-slided to the world as the system.
SECOND. Such robberies will be rendered impossible for the
future.
THIRD. There will be wrested from Wall Street and the Bystem
vast sums annually during the coming years.
FOURTH. These millions will go ,to the people, from whom
they have been stolen by Wall Street and the system.
FIFTH. Every man and woman possessed of a single dollar can
turn it first Into i2, then into 10; every man and woman with J100
can turn it first into 2J), then into J1000. This will be made so
plain that all will see and understand.
In the accomplishment of these things this Instrument will be
come the most powerful financial engine In the world..
It will make and unmake at will the prices of billion of stocks
and bonds which today represent the practical ownership of the
Nation. It will become a power in politics until scheming Presi
dents, mercenary Senates, venal Congresses, grasping Rockefellers,
unscrupulous Harrlmans and arrogant Morgans will be made by it
abject servants of the people.
All this sounds like a tale from the Arabian Knights, but those
who read must bear in mind that it is put out by a sane man who
respects the opinion of his friends, and acid tests those of his
critics, by a business man who knows the value of the $10. noi)
which it costs to print these advertisements by a man who Is not a
dreamer, but a doer.
My own equipment:
In demanding the attention of the American people to this
series of advertisements, it is necessary for me to Justify my own
capacity as the right agent for the work. I desire, therefore, to
point to the fulfillment of scores of startling, and. at the time the
were published, apparently absurd predictions and to the accom
plishment of many seeming Impossibilities in finance.
v FIRST. I am the only man who has publicly and world-wldely
advised and predicted In finance who has lived and retrained solvent
long enough to point to the fulfillment of his predictions. In my
time three generations have come to Wall Street, and two have
gone from it, and yet in the last year my thirty-fifth In finance, I
paid to the press more money for advertising than any financial
advertiser ever paid in his lifetime. The amount of money paid to
the press by an established and continuous advertiser is the best
evidence of the soundness of his published advice.
SECOND. I have made mistakes, but I have piloted the public
into hundreds of millions ot dollars of profits.
THIRD. For almost 40 years I have been active In the finan
cial game, during the last 20 of which, while playing for position
with an eye to the day for launching my remedy. 1 have played hob
with Wall Street, the system and financial powers, producing bull
panics and bear panics, and. during that time, although opposed hy
the greatest power In finance, I have succeeded In selling to the
public more dollars worth of stock than any other man or group
of men.
FOURTH. In that long time I have never once been cornered
by Wall Street, the system, or anyone. On the contrary. I have
made for myself scores of millions of dollars and attached to myseir
a personal stock market following of hundreds of thousands of
responsible and intelligent people located in all parts of the world.
FIFTH. My last advertising campaign (Yukon Gold), only four
days' long, although opposed by the powers of Wall Street and the
svstem culminated in a whirl which monopolized the entire ma
chinery of Wall Street, State Street and other financial centers,
and resulted in a volume of stock dealings which broke all financial
records.
SIXTH. At the end of 40 years bitter warfare In Wall and
State Streets, I am now more closely associated with the directors
f finance,-business and Industry than ever before, not because they
want me, but because they need my help.
SEVENTH. In all my 40 years' work I have told the public
what I believed was for their interest, regardless of its effect on
myself, my associates or the system.
There's enough here ' to Justly me In demanding that every
American who wishes to better his condition and make life more
attractive to himself and those depending on him, should follow
with .the closest attention the argument set forth In these adver
tisements. Then, I ask only that he study my Instrument, and. if
satisfied, that he then take boldly into his own hands the means
which will give him his Just share of the vast wealth out of which
he has long been defrauded, of the richest and most productive
land the world has ever known.
MIND YOU my fourth last advertisement will contain the
most astounding proposition ever made by a sane and responsible
- financier.
This advertisement will be continued here tomorrow.

FORTY BUSHELS TO ACRE
First Eastern Mnltnomah Wheat
Threshed Shows Up Well.
GRESHAM, Or., Aug. 9. (Specia;.)
The first threshing in Eastern Multno
mah County was done near here on Sat-
urday by Stanley & Neal. on their own
farms and with their own machine.
The yield was an average of 40
bushels Br. acre for wheat and 50 bush
els for oats. The entire section will
average about the same, and there is a
large acreage widely scattered in small
fields from Mount Tabor to the Cas
cades. There are four threshing crews
ready to start out, and they expect to
clean up the whole territory in about
two months.
