He believes that his knowledge of the West, gained during the four years he has been in Portland, will be Invaluable to hlm. The Presbyterian minister preached at Kutgers Church two Sundays while attending; the sessions of the general assembly at Atlantic City last May. When he returned from his trip to Kdlnhurgh and Oberammergau he was urged to take the pulpit, but declined.

Thorburn Ross, president of the de funct Title Guarantee & Trust Company, of converting state funds to his own use. have signed a petition for Boss' pardon. Ross is now experiencing a delay in the taking up of a five-year term In the Oregon State Prison while the United States Supreme Court Is passing on a writ of error In the case. One of the petitions for pardon bears the name of John Manning, who, as .Dis trict Attorney, directed the Ross prose cution. The petitions for a pardon have been circulated by Ross" brother, John T. Ross, of Astoria, and by his nephew, E. D. Ross, of Portland. Just how many signatures have been obtained la not disclosed, although it Is known that the petitions are bulky and probably contain many thousand names. Acting Governor Bowerman will likely be called upon to net upon the pardon. While the exact date for presenting the request Is not set. it Is understood that the cose will be brought to a climax be fore the change of administration occurs. Wallace McCamant. as attorney for Ross, will present the arguments favor ing a parden. It will likely be argued that Ross already has suffered acutely for any wrong he has committed. The assertion will likely be made, too, that he has been made the victim of strong public feeling to a large extent. Mr. Mc Camant. however, declines to discuss the case at this time. Ross" ense has been In court since March. 1908. AlUiough several charges against him grew out of the wrecking of the Title Guarantee & Trust Com pany, he was Indicted on the charge of converting to his own use interest on money deposited with his bank by the state. "When brought to trial he was convicted after a hard-fought trial. Five years' Imprisonment and a line of JS00.000 was the penalty first Imposed. This was taken on appeal to the Oregon Supreme Court, which modified the sen tence. Inasmuch as Ross, being unable to pay the fine, would, by the terms of the sentence, be compelled to remain In the County Jail something over .00 years. , The Supreme Court opinion was writ ton by Justice Eakin. There was one dissenting voice, that of Justice King, who took the stand that no crime had been committed by Ross.

Company will within a few days start these machines and lecturers on a tour of the middle Western and Eastern States for the purpose of showing the people of those states that part of Oregon known as "The Klamath Country" and the Butte Val leys of California and the towns of Klamath Falls and Worden, Oregon, and Mt. Hebron and Dorris, California. Our idea is to bring at least a trainload of homeseekers to this country when the tourist season again opens. We will have in all six machines and lecturers (three of the machines being shown here). We firmly believe that the Klamath country is the great comer of this wonderful state, and we propose tell ing the people why, also how to get there. We have consistently worked for that part of Oregon for the last year, and we have brought many families into the state. While we will give our special attention to Klamath and her wonderful opportunities, we will talk about the whole state and its wonderful possibilities, and thus do our part to build up this great empire. We have not and will not ask financial aid in this work from any commercial club or individual. P. C. Lavey Company will bear all the expense, and if we are the cause of helping other real estate firms to gain business we will be happy because there is room in this great state for all of us. If you have any particular photograph you would like to have us show, we will be glad to show same everywhere we go. You may label it yourself. What we want in this state is smaller farms and more people on those farms. We believe this to be a great work, and we are glad we are in the harness. This firm is progressive and ag gressive, and has just finished a wonderful year s busi ness. The future looks bright and promises a greater year's business next year than this has been. Let's all cheer up and work together for a greater Oregon, and do this without holding our hands out for contributions. If you have any new ideas as to how this campaign should be carried on that you think will help us, we ask you to write us today.
