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.

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.

Rig Task Reereeeatee".
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.

RIGHT for 25 Port
land people by giving them
their choice of the largest
and finest of the 75 sites,
now ready in Westover
Terraces, for the sum of
$4000, which is the price of
the cheapest lot in the tract.
Nearly everybody in Port
land knows the property and
can quickly see what a hand
some New Year's starter this
will make for the 25 fortunate
first purchasers. So all I need
add is, that every live and wide
awake person who can lay
hands on the necessary money
will do well to come up right
away and make an early selection.
' To the 25 first purchasers I say this; -Within less than
twelve months from this date you will find that the
amount you invest in Westover Terraces will have in
creased 100. That is, I think, the boldest statement I ever
put in any advertisement, but I believe I can prove it and
in less than five minutes, over the phone. So be it -further
resolved: that today I will take the first step towards
Westover Terraces by calling: up or calling: on

ing of gaa. you can make up your mind
that you need something to stop food
fermentation and cure Indigestion.

aid In the nourishment and strength
of your body, you must rid your Stom
ach of poisons, excessive acid and
stomach gas. which sours your entire
meal Interferes with digestion and

Sick Headache, Biliousness. Constipa
tion, . Griping, etc Your case Is no
different you are a stomach sufferer,
though you may call It by some other
name; your real and only trouble is
that which you eat does not digest,
but quickly ferments and sours, pro
ducing almost any unhealthy condi
tion. A case of Pape's Diapepsin will cost
fifty cents at any pharmacy here, and
will convince any stomach sufferer five
minutes after taking a single dose that
Fermentation and Sour Stomach is
causing the misery of Indigestion.
No matter if you call your trouble
Catarrh of the Stomach, Nervousness
or Gastritis, or by any other name
always remember that a certain cure
is waiting at any drug store the mo
ment you decide to begin its use.
