Aavertlaiaa: He Part'le. -The object for which the Ad Club fins taken up this movement la to eliminate fake and misrepresentation from the advertising business and to Increase the efficiency of advertising. When advertising has been purified un til readers will have the same con fidence In the statements made In an advertisement that they have In the news published In the papers, there Is no estimating the importance that ad Tertlslng will reach In the business world. At the present time so much of misrepresentation has crept Into It that the genera! public Is not Inclined to give over-much credence to what an advertisement says. What we are after ts to drive out the fakers In all depart ments of advertising and place the business on a basis of sincerity that will merit and Inspire public confidence. The existing state law Is a weapon of sufficient strength In oiir campaign, and we purpose to use It. -The reliable merchant Tins nothing. to fear from the activity of the com mtttee. for Its energies are directed solely at those who are harming legit imate business, injuring the public and destroying the peoples confidence In the advertising business. The move ment in Portland Is not unique; It Is merely a part of a National movement that has sprungui In recent years for a general 'clean up In advertising met hods." waay t ! Aid.

The committee Intends to work ac ttvelv to curtail, by exposure, fake ad -erllsing schemes brought forward by transient visitors In the form of programmes, directories and similar ih:ites. " I hae never been In any. other iil." said Mr. Schell. "where so many schemes- of this kind were being brought out. Most of the men who are promoting them are persons fiat lave come here from the Kast and are using their wits to raise enough money to get away. Roughly estimated, the mer chants of Portland threw away more than Jlo.O'io last year on advertising in fake mediums of tills kind. Merrhaala Re Wareei.

Schulderman. who lives at 55 Fast Glisan street, and under the Inspiration of T. J. Newblll. princi pal of th Woodlawn school, there will be one central garden for demonstra tion purposes and about 600 smaller home gardens, so that Woodlawn will be almost a continuous garden the present year. ilr. Schulderman gave the use of two and one-half acres of lard near the Woodlawn school, in whlrh will be planted a demonstration garden by garden experts. Practically 'every pupil In the Woodlawn school will have a little garden at home. The central garden at the school will be the place where the pupils will see garden experts at work anl will be able fo put in practice what they learn at the central garden. A strong organization of the citizens of the community has been formed to assist in this garden movement. Kvery home is being visited by a special com mittee, who will give information where and how to get seeds, how to apply fertilizers to the soil and, in short, how to make a first-class gar den. The general plan as worked out will give tli" children attending the Wood lawn school instructions equivalent to a full year's course In an agricultural college, starting from the central building down to the homo gardens. Kverythlng will be thorough ami prac tical, so that the ( children of the Woodlawn school will know all about developing a garden at the end of the season. This will he aside from the financial gain which will come from S0 home gardens. The organization has appoiutcd the following advisory committee: Princi pal T. J. Newblll, chRlrman: A. Krtt ger. Rev.

Efforts will be made by Mr. Me Cusker and other supporters of I .a Follette to Induce him to remain in this state at least a week nnd possibly ten days. This would enable him to cover the state thoroughly, and such an Itin erary is deemed indispensable to La Toilette's chances in this state by his friends. n. p.

Fred f. linker, editor Tillamook Headlight Roosevelt sentiment In this county Is not as strong as it was a week or so ago. Henry Sengstacken, Marsliffeld Coos Bay is for Taft by a large majority. Alfred A. Ay, I -a Pine The general sentiment in this pnrt of Central Ore gon is that Roosevrlt cannot be nom inated. In order to avoid having a Democrat go Into office, Taft Is the logical man to support. U K. Bran, Eugene, chairman Lane County Taft committee Conditions are looking very much better here. I find Taft sentiment growing. J. II. Peare, chairman t'nlon County Taft committee, 1a Grande Kvery thlng Is looking good In this county.

Grants Pass The situation here, as I see it, is very favorable for President Taft. There Is no question In my mind but that this county will go strongly In favor of Taft for the next President. Charles T. Karlv, chairman Hood River County Taft committee. Hood River Appears to me that Taft has murli the best of it In this county, and I have made quite a little Inquiry and have not found any one whose Judg ment differs materially from mine. K. J. Sommervllle. chairman I'matllta County Taft committee. Pendleton We feel very confident of the result In our county, but It Is our deelre to get out every vote for Taft we can to offset soice other district that may not look so good. Henry O.

I am of the opinion the Presi dent will carry this county. W. W. Smead, chairman Morrow County Taft committee. Heppner We will give Taft a good majority In this county.

M0T0RB0AT MEN ACT BEFORE CONGRESS SAID TO IiE MENACE. Proposed Measure to Require Gaso line Craft to Carry Two Men Feared by Fishermen. All owners. of motor boats are Inter ested In efforts to defeat a bill that has been Introduced In Congress by Representative Sherwood. This bill, known as house bill 18.7S8, it is alleged, would destroy the gasoline engine busi ness on the Pacific Coast and would damage the fishing industry of this Coast, as, if passed, it would require all motor boats more than 40 feet in length to carry two licensed men. The bill. It Is believed, was Intro duced at the request of the Eastern steam-propelled boat operators, as the gasoline boat is not much used for commercial purposes on the Atlantic Coast, but Is used largely on the Pa cific Coast for passenger and freight business and particularly In the fish ing industry. To require the small operator to carry two licensed men, it is held, would be ruinous. This, bill has been drawn to the at tention of Portland shipping interests and they Intend to Interest the Port land commercial bodies to take some action to have Oregon's Representa tives In Congress use their efforts to defeat It. or at least have It amended so as not to refer to motor boats on the Pacific Coast. Fleet's Departure Not Delayed. The sailing of the Alaska fishing fleet, which is now in progress, has been delayed In former years by dif ferences between the owners and the fishermen as to the terms that the lattdr were to be allowed during the season. This year there has been no discussion, as that matter was adjust ed a year ago, when the representa tives of the Fishermen's Union signed a contract with the Alaska Packers' Association, which will be in force for three years. This contract governs the prices paid by all the other compa nies. Marine Note.

In the parade were tho- locked-out shingle weavers, tho walked-out sawmill employes and the striking longshoremen, r. W. W. leaders had charge of the display. One platoon was composed entirely of Greek laborers. Another section consisted of 40 women, each pushing a baby carriage. Banners bidding de fiance to millowners were displayed and socialistic and I. W. W. literature was distributed along the route. As Hoquiam has a population of but 10,000, the parade attracted consider able attention. I. W.

A Wave of Enthusiasm. American agrents of the- Canadian Pacific Land Department, from the Dakotas, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Ne braska, I'ennsvlvania and Oklahoma, met in Chicago tho other day and were addressed bv the assistant to the president of the ruad. Ho said that 200,000 Americans will seek homes in Western Canada this vear. "This is no gi;ess-work," he added, "but is substantiated by rarefully tabulated fiprures supplied by agents of the company." The announcement created a wave of enthusiasm among the agents, each, before his departure for his station, declaring that hereafter he would shout louder than ever the company's appropriate slogan, "Get Your Canadian Home Krom the Canadian Pacific:" A Pendleton Editor's Exuberance. Most newspaper readers in Orepron know, personally or by repu tation. Bert Huffman, poet and former part owner and editor of the Kast Oregronian, published at Pendleton. A couple of years asr it sold his interests and settled on a railroad section north of fheartle. not far from Calvary. We cannot print a quarter of Mr. Huffman's spirited letter conrerninfr the country. It is too lengthy for that, but read these excerpts from it: "From the knoll on the western edge of my railroad section north of Chradle I can see twenty-six new homes lifting their shining crests above verdant prairie. Twenty-six new homes in a little district eight guiles square is not a bad record for six months. "Only a few months ago Cheadle was a water-tank side track and a nam on the Canadian Pacific Railroad map. Now it ts making a very honest i laim to the title of a country village. It seemed only yesterday that all the. business at Strathmore was transacted in the box-car 'station. Now it can write its population in ,four figures, and it is racing speedily ahead. "Twenty-six new homes not all pretentious, to be sure but homes ju?t the same. Each one shelters a settler's family. Each one means from 1 to Ho acres of sod plowed out and seeded And. later, that will mean train lnads of golden wheat and oats, new houses on a larger scale, better teams, more comforts, more education, more independence. It is the beginning of tho new order. "The wondrous wealth of Alberta's soil and the lavish bestowal of her opportunity have lured the landless, the home hunter, the adventurer from every clime under the sun. My nearest neighbor is an Oregon banker who has become wealthy in land Investments and who knows a good thing. On the section south is a former Dakota wheat raiser, who wouldn't trade hia section in Alberta for a county back in the Iakotasu A mile away to tlio north Is a man from Montana. Kstwards two miles are two gallant bach elors, one from New Zealand and one from Australia. Farther on is B, Miasourian, and adjoining him an Ontario Scotchman. "To the west is a German from Wisconsin on a tract of Irrigated land; south, toward Cheadle. are two more hardy sons of Dakota and one old coun try Scotchman; and on toward Cal gar v a few miles are two prominent farm ers and capitalists from the State of Washington. Strange minglinjj of races In the Alberta wonderland! Strange jostling of shoulders in this wide, free empire of the Northwest: "One man will quit his raoprv changing to follow the trail of Alberta. Another gives up the editorial desk to turn farmer. Stilt another shakes ofT the mustv air of some other life-long profession to buy a team, build a shack and regain the freshness and virility of young manhood in the tangle of the new-plowed prairie and the sweet breath of the soil! These neighbors have seen other new countries develop. They are not tenderfeet. Some of them saw Oklahoma opened up tu settlement. Others went in advance of the railroads Into lyegon and Washington and others broke new sod where the thriving towns of the Dakotas. Kansas and Nebraska now stand. "But they are now all Alberta boosters. None of them would go hack. They have good land: they bought it at low prices and on easy terms. One or two fair crops will pay for it. So they are the happiest, best contented, most cordial, neighborly and jolty lot of people that ever got together to plant the banner of civilization in any siot on the earth." There Is Life in the Foregoing! Mr. Huffman is a live one and in a live country where there are SIX MILLION ACItKS of the richest farm lands lieiieiith the canopv of heaven, being peopled tiv an educated, inte.1 lipent, hUKtlins. busllih? people.

The farms of Alberta arc ready made. There arc no ciant trees to fell or stumps to dynamite or prub. One may mount his plow and ride the very day he buys his farm! Advance in Prices. It Is hoped no reader of these advertisements will deceive himself with the thought that Alberta's rich acres will lone bo sold at pres ent prices. The railroad company at first put a low valuation on all its lands distant from its mavn line or branches. The soil was as rich as anv. but markets were not as handy. Now that the gov ernment has pruarantecd the bonds of other roads which will run riirectlv through these lands, and which must be constructed this and next year, prices will soon be advanced to conform to those of farms adjacent to the company's own roads. The company's official publication, which reached this city last Saturday, prave notice of this advance. It Is likelv that the $10 to $15 per acre land will he put up to $15 to $20. and mav, in fact, go to straight 520, and the $20 per ai re soil to $25 per acre or more.
