-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

schemes- of this kind were being
brought out. Most of the men who are
promoting them are persons fiat lave

Through the public-spirited assist
ance of P. II. 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.

Although Wisconsin and Nebraska
will hold Presidential primary elections
prior to the Oregon election on April
l. supporters of each of the three Ke
mihiican candidates for the Presidency
are. planning particularly aggressive
campaigns In quest of the ten dele
gates from this state to the Nation
al convention. Consequently Oregon
electors mav fortify themselves for an
abundance of political oratory In the
concluding three weeks of the cam
paign. They will have the privilege of
hearing the Issues discussed from at
least three different angles from a Re
publican viewpoint.
Of the trio of candidates for tn
Presidency. Senator I -a Follette will
he tho onlv one to visit the state b
fore the election. Thomas MeCusker,
manager for the Wisconsin man, has
received advices that I.a Follette W
leave Washington ubout April 1 and go
to Nebraska, where he will devote a
few days to addressing the voters. He
is expected to arrive in Oregon between
April 5 and April 9.
W eek's Stay la I nted.
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. Hudson, representing Tloosevelt,
gave renewed assurances yesterday, be
fore departing for Ienver. that speak
ers of National reputation from the
Kast would come to Oregon and plead
the cause of the ex-President. He was
not able to say who the speakers would
be. hut said announcement would be
made in a few days by the National
Roosevelt committee nt Chicago.
- The Taft people will inaugurate their
campaign with Imported speakers as
the atractlon at Ontario next Friday,
when ex-Representative in Congress
Scott, of Kansas, will deliver the first
of a number of addresses that will be
made by the Kansan throughout Kast
ern Oregon. It has been arranged so
that Mr. Scott will conclude the cam
paign in this city.
Taft Committee 'Working.
In the meantime the various Taft
committees throughout the r.tato have
not relaxed their efforts to promote
the President's candidacy for re-election.
Especially effective work Is being
done In nearly all of the counties from
which good reports are being received
at Taft headquarters In this city. The
following are excerpts from letters re
ceived by Chairman Ayer rocently from
Republicans, all over the state, who are
actively supoi ting Taft:
William H. Cadle. chairman Polk
County Taft committee Polk County
seems to be strongly anti-Roosevelt.
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.
The Taft sentiment Is growing dally,
and by the time April 19 arrives there
will be nothing to it.
Joseph K. Starr, Fossil, secretary
Taft committee. Wheeler County Indi
cations are that Taft will carry this
county by a very large majority.
Joaepblae Outlook Good.
Joseph Moss. chairman Josephine
County Taft committee. 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. Miller, chairman Yamhill
County Taft committee. McMlnnvllle
Roosevelt's anouncement did more good
for our candidate thwn anything else
so far. 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. So far as I can see. he will
carry this county by at least three to
one over any one else.
R. I. Cooper. Grass Valley Taft will
unquestionably carry Sherman County.

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.
The steam schooner Coaster, which
sailed from San Francisco on Saturday

The sister ship to the Xann Smith,
of the Smith Lumber Company, of
Coos Bay. that Is being built at the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company,
will be finished early this Summer

The derelict that has been reported
off the coast several times recently
has been definitely decided to be the
schooner Ida McKay, which turned
turtle several weeks ago while taking
a carpo of lumber from f oqullle to ban
Francisco. Her crew took to tho small
boats and all were saved.

I-atourell Hill road from Columbia
Heights down to I.atourell. on the Co
lumbia River, has been partly cleared,
and it Is ssid to be on a much easier
grade than the present road. Wednes
day Henry and Charles Latourell. Mar
tin Lund and others cut out the brush
on the new route from the heights for
a distance of one-half mile. The La
tourells have had a survey made which
they say will reduce the'grade.
Tills movement for a new road down
the Latourell Is Important, as it will
be rart of the Hood River road at
least until the road has been built to
Troutdale, near the railroad. Automo
biles will uso the hill road for some
time at least. Outside of the Corbett
road, the Latourell road is tine only
road running down from the height."

A Company of 500 Farmers
and Business Men Formed
at Waterloo, Iowa, Going
to That Province
Mr. K. J. Daly. Alberta Government, Colonization Agent, reports
the formation of "a body of 500 farmers and business men at Water
loo. Iowa, and these will depart for Alberta in a few days, some to
farm and others to engage in business in the new towns opening
along the numerous railroads now building in that Province.
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. They are, the CRKA.M of the country, from all
walks of life and the CIIKA.M because they were ambitious to bet
ter their condition, knew where to gro to accomplish tho desire, and
bad the snap and grinfter in them to pet nay from the old into the
new. where there is opportunity for both farmer and business man
the like of which, it is believed, is not at this (line to be found else
where on earth! 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. This "jump" may come at any
time.

What the Internal
Bath Is Doing for
Humanity
Under our present mode of living the
large intestine (or colon) cannot get rid
of all the waste that It accumulates so
it clogs up. and then biliousness, con
utipation, is the result, and that lack of
desire to do, to worn, to mina.
This waste in the-colon, as we all
know, is extremely poisonous, and If
neglected, the blood takes up the poi-
sons and brings on countless very
serious diseases appendicitis is di
rectly caused by waste in the colon.
If the colon is kept clean and pure
you will always feel bright and capable
never blue and nervous always up
to "concert-pitch."
There is Just one Internal bath which
will keep the colon as sweet and clean
as nature demands It to be for perfect
health that is, the J. B. L. Cascade.
Manv thousands are using it. and
doctors prescribing it with great suc
cess all over the world. It is now be
