Bova Walt All Night to Be Sup plied Los Rrpmcnted. A an agency for advertising the su perior ilrtnlft of Portland a residence and commercial center and of Oregon as a state of diversified re sources aaaltlng development. 120.00 copies of The Oregonian's annual edi tion irsued yesterday are of Inestima ble value to the city and common wealth. m a means of attracting settlers, homereekers. new Induxtrles and addi tional wealth to the state, the yearly rtctorial, statistical and analytical supplement to the rerular news edition has proved more powerful than any other single medium. Thla is The Oregonian's annual con tribution to the advancement and de velopment of the state. The work re quired In computus; the information and llluatrai lona contained In the 74 panes was done reirardlesa of expense. It was the aim and purpose from the tart to prepare the beet. most com plete and most accurate analysis of the oi.l y ear's achievements and the new year's possibilities thst more than SO years of experience and well-orpantxed effort on the part of a large staff of enthusiastic workers would permit. FaJtloa Pvbllaked at !-. The paper. Ink. labor and mechanical effort required In printing the com plete paper exceeded In cost the re ceipts derived from the sales. From a circulation standpoint The oregonian operated at distinct loss. The adver tising patronage, which, in most such enterprises, affords some financial re lief for the lossea In the circulation de partment and the heavy expenses of the art and r.ews sections, wss not an Im portant factor. It was apparent that many of the city's shrewdest adver tisers failed to recognise In the annusl edition the effective means tl:at It of fred of rearhtntr people in the Kant. Whatever deficit waa experienced In the cnuntinroom Is cheerfully accred ited to the Interests cf the future wel fare of the city and state. Illustrative of the wide circulation that the annual edition will have In other parts of the world Is the fact that fully 100.00 copies will be mailed. The regular circulation of The oregonian (week-day) Is approximately 61.004. It Is estimated, from actual ex perience of previous years. that more than SO per cent of the reg ular subscribers, after carefully read Ins; the paper, wrap It up and mall It to frl-Dos and acquaintance In the Kast. If J0.000 copies of the regular circulation were mailed out. these, added to the S7.0OO special copies, will give the annual edition a circulation outside the Northwest of approximately S7.000 copl-s. The demsnd was stesdy all day yes terday and last night the prospects of printing a supplemental edition of 0 copies was considered. It Is be lieved that when business men. who remained at home yesterdsy, come to their oflces and stores this morning the demand will mske a supplemental run necessary. While copies of the psper were Bent to all parts of the world, the destina tion of the great majority Is the Middle Vest and the Kast. The addresses on a specimen bundle taken from one of the mall boxes late yesterday after noon were: ililersburg. Fa.: Buffalo. N. T.: Perkely. fal.: Rochester. N. V.; Kenton. O.; Mumford.

Mont, and Mow bridge, s P. More than 400 newsbovs vied to sup ply residents with copies of the paper, eo eager were they to engage In this business that many of them remained at The Oregonian office all night, that they might be the earliest on band In the morning. Beys Watt All Mght. Whivn the business office closed at It 'clock Sunday night more than 10 lads were watting In lire. Although the night was cold they remained fstthfully until a o'clock yesterday morning, when the first papers were placed on sele. The office established a rule lim iting the sale to each boy at 140 papers. None bought fewer than tbls maximum. On the other band, many an enterpris ing youngster multiplied his purchases by five or six by forming In line re peatedly and each time buying ISO papers. Many boys had taken orders In advance and acre able to dispose of their stock Instantly upon receiving It. When it became apparent that the nova would create confualon In their ambition to be first In line, four police men were aligned to the task of keep ing them II jrder. To facilitate their work a rop waa tied to the door of the office and stretched along Sixth street against the fronts of the build ings. The boys were lined up behind the rcpe and were served In order as fast as they filed by. A cash register placed on an Improvised desk on the sidewalk on Aider street enabled the circulation clerks to candle the busi ness wan dispatch. ! Mrl Wns Papers. In the rooms of the circulation de partment 100 men were employed to js-roble the four secilons and to place them Inside the green wrsppere for mailing. As faet as they were pre pare .1 they were piled In the business otflce. from which they were dlspeneed to ma litt.e street merchants. Groan ing under their loaJa of added weight the regular carriers made their way Industriously over their routes. Many p. them had taken orders for extra copies and eagerly assumed the addi tional burden. bales on the streets opened before AV break. Most boys supplied their patrons with stamps and had writing material for addressing the wrappers on hand. The mailboxes failed, to hold the slightest i.-caotage of the bundles. The paper., ware piled up en the sidewalks around the boxes, and the collection wagons from the I'ustoftlce made extra calls. An extra forv-e of distributing clerks was required at the Postoltlce. They started the papers to their destinations as rapld'.y as they were collected. Kvery train that left Portland yester day carried Its share of Oregonlan an nuals Business houses sent in long lists of names with Instructions that papers be mailed from The Oregonlan office. These were seat out yesterday. i14 ".'U - i" I 1 . an neA 4 Tr '-f " ' ' ' . 'A a w38 A. s 1 -V' " vl AY L - ' .V'rv .?

Tha industry displayed by the news boys was but the outgrowth of sev eral months of steady and relentless energy on the part of The Oregonian's regular staff. Farly In tha season plans for building the annual edition were laid. Several representatives of the paper started to work In October to gather facts and atatlstics. As the first of the year approached, other members of the staff were assigned to the task. Writers who specialised In their work prepared atorles on their particular subjects. A staff of pho tographers was required to work many days to obtain tne pictures with which the paper is Illustrated. The lt-page photo aectlon. bearing full-page Illus trations of Portlsnd streets seemed to meet with grstiflcatlon on the part of The Oregonian's pstrons. This aectlon presents In striking form the activity In the city. It -as a revelation even to many reside; ,s of Portland. The statistics on the varied Indus tries of the city and state were com plied from actual records and are ac curate In every detail. The edition as a whole Is a perfect mirror of the remarkable and triumphal progress of Portland and of Oregon. NOVICE'S GAS-PLANT KILLS Everett Man Strike? Match to Seo IT Contrivance Works. EVERETT.
