THE MORXIXG OK EG ONI AX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1910.
Contest Is Talked Of Everywhere
OTHELLO Company Will Give Away Fruit Land, City
Lots and Cash Certificates to Readers of This
Paper Who Will Write an Advertisement.
Some people say there is a science
of advertising. Also some people say
that only by mastering a long course
of technical training can one acquire
the secret of writing an interesting
story. But the Othello Improvement
Company, the most progressive group
of City Builders in the Northwest, be
lieve differently.
The famous "Sunny Jim" adver
tisement, said by many experts to
have been the greatest series of adver
tisements ever published, were writ
ten by, a young girl, not yet out of
her teens. She had never had any
training for the work of advertisement
writing, or even in the art of compo
sition. Jack London, one of the greatest,
if not indeed the greatest, of modern
story writers, boasts of the fact that
he has less than the average "school
learning."
Neither of these cases, however,
prove that a liberal education is not
to be desired. But they both prove
that the brightest, freshest, most na
tural ideas often spring from the mind
unhampered by the traditions of
schoolroom and rule book.
The Othello Improvement Co. has
employed advertising experts, trained
writers and teachers to write for it
a little story to be entitled "WHY
SHOULD I INVEST IN OTHELLO."
The officers and directors of the com
pany have tried their hand at the
same subject, but without satisfaction
to themselves or their associates.
"All the efforts have lacked thai
snap that vigor that unaffected na
turalness which makes a story ring
true and real.
So the OTHELLO IMPROVE
MENT CO. has decided upon a novel
OREGON GOING EAST
Great Northern President Has
Unique Plan.
PRODUCT-CAR TO TELL ALL
Til Letter to Oregonian. Railroad
Magnate Outlines Advertising
System, Which Has Proved Ef
fective in Other Instances.
(Continued From First Page.)
that plan of advertising. The commer
cial clubs and business associations in
Oregon cannot afford to overlook this
opportunity for co-operating with the of
ficial head of the Great Northern, who
frequently has asserted during the last
year that the time for this work of col
onization was never more opportune.
It has been the observation of 3r.
Mill that there never was a greater de
mand on the part of the people in the
more densely populated districts of the
East for homes in; the Pacific Coast
states. For that reason he expects a
heavier movement of emigration from
the older settled districts to the "West
during the next year than ever before.
To, get its full share of benefits resulting
from this advertising. Oregon must be
equally active with the other states in
the Pacific Northwest.
This missionary work "by the Great
Northern is being done in concrete form.
These products are collected from the
various sections along the line, of its sys
tem and then exhibited in various parts
of the country. The company has no land
of its own to sell the homeseeker, it
being the only transcontinental railroad
that was built without the aid of a land
grant or a subsidy of any kind. It Is
Interested, naturally, in building up the
population in the territory tributary to
Its lines.
The exhibition which Is now being
conducted by this company in the Eastern
Ftates is not confined to any one state.
Oregon is not very satisfactorily repre
sented in the exhibit but the display Mr.
Hill plans to assemble from his state
next year will be both complete and con
vincing. The display is being exhibited by the
company in various Eastern cities and
consists of fruits and vegetables from
Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Oregon and
Washington.
"Almost Incredible," Says Comment
"The display of fruit from the Pacific
Northwest." said the Boston Evening
Record, "is attractive to the degree of
fascination. A description of the exhi
bition of vegetables would almost tax
the credulity of one uninformed of the.
wonderful productiveness of the Far
Western country."
These products are displayed during
the day in the car, which is stationed as
nearly in the center of the city as it is
possible, and in the evening an illustrated
lecture is given in a public hall. Repre
sentatives of the passenger and immigra
tion departments of the railway company
are in charge of the car. An idea of the
public interest taken in both the exhi
bition and the lecture is found in the
dally reports which are made by the men
in charge to E. C. Leedy. general immi
gration agent for the road at St. Paul.
The following statement was forwarded
Trom Youngsville. Pa., on the 9th Inst.:
The car was brought here at 8 A. M. to
day and this place has been advertised and
filled for miles back in the country. As a
result It Has Drouent in town.
small place of only about 2000 Inhabitants,
one of the binnest crowds they have known
in a long time. The little narrow cause
line from Sunar Grove and vicinity brought
In a special tralnload and It might be well
to say that the company held the train
tntll after the evening; lecture. AU day
Ions- the center of town and around the
epot had the appearance of a fair or
Mrcua day on account of the Innumerable
rigs and -wagons of ruralist- who had
Irlven Into Youngsville fpr the express pur
nose of visiting the car and attending the
lecture. Scarcely was the car in readiness
before the throngs were in attendance and
ft Is no exaggeration to say that at times
there were fully 100 people awaiting their
turns to enter the car and we were forced
to keep the people moving slowly with
Invitation to again return during the duller
hours, after many were required to return
to their rural homes as far distant as
15 miles.
However, the rush never stopped and It
was a constant flow of people all day until
time for the lecture. The majority in
this section are the higher class of Swedish
farmers and very Industrious. The inter
est was especially enthusiastic and we will
surely get good results Xrom this place
later.
There were at least 1600 people who visit
plan of securing the , little story it
wants to use in its advertising mat
ter. It has concluded to give away
as awards for merit to thosn readers
of this newspaper, who will fke the
time to sit down and dash off a brief
little story upon the subject, "WHY
SHOULD I INVEST IN OTHEL
LO," valuable gifts as follows: (
For the story declared by the judges
to be the best, an acre of fruit land
at Othella Highlands will be given.
For the story declared to be next
best, a beautiful building lot in Othel
lo will be given.
For the next, or third best, a cash
certificate, good for $100 upon the
purchase, price of any lot or fruit
tract at Othello, for sale by the Im
provement Co., will be given.
The value of the awards should in
duce every readev of this newspaper
to sit right down and write a little
composition of not more than 500
words and send it to the OTHELLO
IMPROVEMENT COMPANY'S OF
FICES in this city, 219-220 Commer
cial 'Club Bldg.
It does not cost one cent to enter
the contest. There is no condition
whatever. Any person can enter. The
winning story will undoubtedly be
submitted by some one who least ex
pects to win.
In order to give full, information
to those who may not know all the
facts about Othello, the company has
had a little booklet published, con
taining full details. This booklet will
be given to anyone asking for it at
the company's offices in this city;

ed the car. and of these 462 registered,.
In regard to the lecture: Long before
the hour of starting people were waiting
to have the doors opened, and within half
an hour every inch of space was taken in
the largest hall in town. They monopolized
every inch of standing room and we were
finally forced to turn away several hun
dreds who were unable to gain entrance
at all. many of whom had driven far. We
made it an iron-clad rule to allow no one
of the children in the hall unless accom
panied by parents. There were about 600
crowded within the four walls, and the in
terest was the greatest that has prevailed
thus far. A great crowd remained after
ward to learn more and ask questions.
At Corry, also in Pennsylvania, over 1400
visited the car. according to the following
report of February 7:
At this place we had a most attractive
location: in fact, .a place could not have
been built for better display, the car having
been placed in the exact heart of the city,
along the 'building line and on the edge of
sidewalk, where It was necessary for all cit
izens on the streets to pass, and within half
a block of the postofflce. As a result, the
car commenced to fill before we were
scarcely ready, and within an hour people
were scrambling for entrance, this rush,
continuing until we closed the car. Were
It not necessary to vacate the car for the
lecture, we could htave taken care of easily
several hundreds more. There were at least
1400 people in the car during the day, of
whom 469 registered, a large percentage of
whom showed especial interest.
The lecture was given in the evening In
the High School Auditorium, which is the
largest and handsomest hall in the city.
The seating capacity Is about "iQ0 and the
hall was almost filled to capacity. The
people showed great interest in the lecture
and pictures, and after the meeting many
Interviews were enjoyed wltn many who
wanted to learn more of the Northwest,
particularly the fruit lands and the Mon
tana homesteads. t
Zero Weather Has Xo Effect.
Below-zero weather at Kane, Pa., failed
to reduce the number of visitors to the
company's car on exhibition February 11.
Even under adverse weather conditions
over 1000 people viewed the exhibit, re
ported the comrJany's representative as
follows:
At this place today about 1200 people vis
ited the exhibit car and 543 registered.
Kane Is called the coldest spot in Pennsyl
vania, and all day the temperature was
xero or below, with snow and a strong wind,
but in spite of the weather people who were
interested came, crowding the car all after
noon, with as many as 25 or 30 waiting part
of the time to gain entrance. In the car
more questions were asked concerning
Washington land, although, the card signs
regarding homesteads bring out a number
of inquiries In regard to this subject; then
In the meeting the subject is covered fully
so that more interest in homesteads is no
ticeable after the meetings.
x About 400 people attended the meeting at
this place, giving undivided attention to
every word and detail of the pictures
