COLONISTS LURED
BY CITY IS BEGBET
Commercial Bodies and Rail
roads Prefer Them to Seek
Unsettled Parts.
60 PER CENT TARRY HERE
Jkewcomcr Are ot Discoursed in
Aim to Stay 1b Portland, cot
Out!d Opportunity Is Pnt
Firs Influx Steady.
Fully t per cent of the colonists
nterlca; Oregon sinca the present re
duced rates went Into effect coma to
Portland, either to remain permanently
or to cast about for suitable location
clwwben In to state.
The remalolnr Pr cent seldom
ae the Union Depot or the orth
Bank station, exceptln to I to a
nurb; restaurant tor meals. Ir they
have made up their mlnda as to tha
particular part of tha state la wblcu
taey want to locate tbey are In a nu"7
to et there and do not tarry In this
city. The no-called slbt-seelnr classes
are composed of persons who are un
decided whera to bo. Tbey Tlew tha
attractions of Portland while lnYestl
;tln the opportunities of the state.
It has been Impossible for the com
mercial bodies or tha railroads to de
termine definitely tha percentage of
lmmtsraats who become permanent
residents of Portland. While they do
not e-a- to discourses people In their
Intentions to remain here, they en
deavor to point out tha advantages of
coins; to tha small towns and to forma.
The clasa of people most desired as
swttlers la composed of thoea who have
small amoonta of money to Invest, and
It Is admitted that tha percentages of
this clase Is not as great as expected.
The uxbt of men who aro merely
"look In for a Job" Is too great In
proportion to thoso who want to be-
coma farmers and land buyers.
e
City Lurrs Too Many.
' For several days members of tha
Commercial Club have Interviewed In
coming travelers to learn what line of
activity they Intend to follow. While
mora than half expect eventually to
establish Uiemaalvca In the state. It
Is feared that If li per cent of the
newcomers remain In Portland that Is
about par cent too many.
Ji all tie advertising of tb Harrl
xnaa railroads Is tha past they have
pointed out the desirability of having
the state settled and the Inadvisablllty
of remaining In Portland.
To all Inquiries received at tha local
Jlarrlman ofrtcea with reference to the
chances of securing employment In this
city replies have been sent that local
men are given the preference. In spile
of this, hundreds of "Job hunters" con
tinue to poor In.
Many of those who coma to Portland
from the East over the O.-W. R. fc It.
lin-s have tickets reading through to
Seattle, as tha railroads made the same
rate to the Puget bound as to Port
land with stop-over privileges In this
city. Tha majority of these men ex
press the Intention of first visiting
Portland to study conditions here and
to' obtain employment here if possible.
If they are unsuccessful they continue
to the Washington cities.
Sound Tried First.
On tha other hand, those travelers
who reach the Northwest over tha
northern route. tha Great Northern,
the Northern Paclflo or the Canadian
Parinc have tickets that allow them
stop-overs In Spokane. Seattle and Ta
coma. with their destination In Port
land. They first try to obtain work
In tha cities of the northern state and
If unsuccessful, come to Portland. As
it Is understood that work In those
towns Is more scarca than here. Port
land would seem to receive the irreater
number of men out of work in the end.
"In the last analysis, our Invitations
to people of the East to come here Is
founded on a rather selfish motive
after all. said C C Chapman, manager
of the promotion committee of the
Commercial Club. "We want people
to come here and help build up the
state and not people who will live on
those industries already here. We
want producers and not consumers.
The same sentiments have been
-rolred by railroad officials and they
"Believe that they have been successful
In their endeavors to keep the ma
jority of Immigrants away from the
city, la previous yeara the colonists
cams to Portland and remained here.
Only a few drifted out Into the state.
Through repeated assertions In the
newspapers and In ail advertising sent
from the state the tide has been turned
to the farm, but the number remaining
In the city Is still too great.
The Influx yesterday was slightly be
low the high records set lost week. The

THE DALLES. Or- March . Spa-
claL The Dalles Business Men's As
sociation and local realty dealers are
receiving calls and Inquiries from a
large number of colonists who have
taken advantage of the cheap rates to
come West.
"The show windows of the exhibit
building at tha depot are viewed all day
long by strangers, said becretary r iso.
"It would be conservative to say that
tha exhibit building has been seen by
not lesa than 100 colonists since last
Monday. In Tho Dalles at present
there are about (0 homeseekers. some
of whom have bought homes already.
Others are negotiating for land and
othera are looking at tracts to decide
which suits them best. Five from Kan
sas have about closed a deal for 330
acres of fruit land. Iowa colonists are
negotiating the purchase of 80 acres
of partially Improved land for which
they will pay 1S,000. Several arrived
from Germany Wednesday. They could
not speak English, but had an Interpre
ter with them. They have made a suo
cesa of raising ducks, chickens, aspar
agus and mushrooms, and are looking
at different locations. Another party
came In Wednesday and bought a small
tract of land to engage in raising high
clasa exhibition and fancy poultry. Sat
urday 11 arrived, tired and dusty, but
smiling, who undoubtedly will find
suitable land here.
"It would surprise many, even our
Oregon people, to know that In the ex
hibit building we display cherry and
peach tree branches In full bloom
picked and brought In today.
"Before the colonist travel began we
secured a list of vacant houses and also
a list of housekeeping rooms that those
who wished to go at once to housekeep
ing In preference to the hotels could do
so. The association building being so
near the depot, we could sea that all
colonists were taken care of properly."

The largest number to arrive In one

was made up of families who had sold
their homes In tha East and were look

numbered ten members, and the aver
age was large.
Most of tha demand Is for small
homes tracts of approximately ten
acres suitable for fruit culture or

Another change was made at the State

commie ry department at that Institu
tion, tendered his resignation. What
there is behind thin resignation Is still
kept quiet, but from what can be gath

a possibility that more will follow.

He would make no statement tonight
as to his reasons for leaving the Insti

expected among those on tha outside who
are acquaintea witn nira.
Warden Is Quarantined.
Following protest by citlsens of the city.
Warden Curtis, of the State Penitentiary.
Is In quarantine at hla home owing to
scarlet fever In his family. One of his
sons was infected with the disease, be
came convalescent and a second son was
taken 111 recently and is still 111. It
became known that Warden Curtis had
not been quarantined at hla home and
had visited tha penitentiary and other
places.
When these facts were) divulged re
cently. 8unr1ntendent James thought
another guard was furnishing Informa
tion to criticise the management oi tne
Institution. and reprimanded Guard
Miles, declaring that criticism of the
management must cease and practically
ordering Miles to be relieved. This
came about through a peculiar coinci
dence, the name of the City Health, oi
flcer also being Miles.
James Goes After Miles.
Superintendent James had heard that
one Miles had divulged Information to
tha effect that there was unquarantlned
scarlet fever at the Curtis home and was
at first of tha opinion that Guard Miles
waa responsible for this talk. He became
aware of the mistaken Identity and re
Instated the guard.
The City Health Officer expresses the
opinion that there has been no danger
of spreading the contagion because War
den Curtis has been free up until today,
to go and come as he wished. Dr. J. N.
Smith, who has been attending the
Curtis children, expresses the same opin
ion. He says the Warden visited the
penitentiary only one day and declares
that Mr. -Curtis has not been In
that part of the house where the chil
dren are confined.
Warden Curtis was in Portland Satur
day. Because of protests, however, ha
will be kept at his home until all chance
of contagion Is post.

DRIVES OUT
o RHEUMATISM
The primary cause of Rheumatism results from weak kidneys, constipa
tion, indigestion, etc., forming impure accumulations in the system. These
sour and ferment, causing uric acid, which is absorbed from the stomach and
intestines into the blood. This changes the srirculation from a thick, rich
fluid to a thin, acrid stream, depositing inflammatory matter into themus
cles, nerves, and joints. The longer the blood is allowed to remain in this
-Impure condition the more severe will Rheumatism become. Gradually the
muscles harden and lose their elasticity, the joints begin to stiffen, and fre
quently calculous deposits form knots at the finger jpints. There is just one
