The general opinion seems to be that on the opening of the Panama Canal there will be a large influx of Immigration to the Pacific Coast and as an observer I have noticed that most of the California cities are making the nducements which will have great weight with those who intend to settle in some part of the Pacific Coast country. What has Portland done in this mat ter of vital importance to her lnter- sts? One of the first things the new settler will look to Is the cost of liv ing and I must say that in that re- pect fortiana oners no inducements, for the cost of living ls higher here than In any city I have lived In on the Coast. There must be a reason for this nd I do not think we have to look far to find the cause. The markets are in tne nanus or tne commission men. If the city would establish mar- ets, where the farmer could bring his upplies and dispose of them from his wn wagon or stall we would at once see a marked reduction in the price of butter, eggs anu other produce of the farm besides the benefit of fresher sup plies.

You are being called upon to pick and choose from line after line. Traveling representatives visit you and you are enabled to see the best the market offers, in quality, style and workmanship. The representatives of the most progressive houses who wish to sell you goods, will doubtless tell you of the fame and name and popu larity of the goods and will offer you some sort of aid. In view of your buying the line, to help you sell it to your customers. Right here ls where you should put the newspaper proposition up quarely to the manufacturer's rep resentative. If the manufacturer really wishes to help you let him choose the one sure method that hits the mark for you here In this community. The way to sell goods to the peo ple of this town ls to advertise these goods in The Oregonlan and other first-class newspapers. That is the only kind of manufacturer's advertising that will help you. Adv.
