EXPERTS IN COLONIZATION
J-'onjier Newspaper Writer Tells
What Minnesota and North Da
kota Investors Have Done In
Obtaining Honicseekers.
SALEM, Or.. Aug. IT. (Special.) That
he sale of the Oregon Central Wagon
Koad lands to Minnesota and North Da
kota Investors means much to the settle
ment of Southeastern Oregon Is the belief
of W. F. Dunlap. of the State Printing
Office, who was formerly a newspaper
man In North Dakota. Ho bases his opin
ion on his knowledge of the work these
men have done In North Dakota In the
way of colonlizng large tracts of land
purchased front the Northern .Pacific
Jtallroad in that state.
Richard Sykes is a colonizer." said
Mr. Dunlap today. "He came from Man
chester. England, and understands how
to reach the class of people most desir
able as settlers In a new country. K. A.
Johnson & Co. are steamship agents, real
estate men and Immigration agents, and
have been largely Instrumental in bring
ing colonies of Scandinavians into North
Dakota.
All in Colonization Scheme.
"W. B. S. Trimble is well known in
North Dakota as a dealer in lands In
undeveloped sections of the state. Of the
other men mentioned as connected with
the purchase of the Oregon Central
Wagon Road lands, I have no knowledge,
hut the fact that they are associated with
the three men named assures me that
they are also in the colonization work,
and 1 have no hesitancy in expressing
the opinion that Oregon has not in many
years acquired the assistance of more
valuable investors than these who have
bought the half-mllllon acres of land re
ferred to.
"Of course, I do not know their plans,
but if they operate as they did in North
Dakota, they will bring about a wonder
ful change in the region in which they
liave invested. in North Dakota they
bought cneap lands and. then went
through the Eastern States and Canada
and to Norway, Sweden and Germany
and found Industrious, frugal families,
xuch as make a auccess of home-building
in a new country.
"They rrought these people to North
Dakota, sold them land on easy terms,
helped them get a start and in a few
years the unsettled lands were peopled
by prosperous, contented, patriotic cit
izens. Are Not Land Sharks.
"These men are not land sharks,
' jrrasplng: money-lenders or ordinary
speculators. Of course they are buying
the land with the expectation of selling
It for more money, but when they sell
it they will bring homeseekers to Ore
gon. They are not the kind of men
who sell a man a farm on partial pay
ments and foreclose on him whenever
they can make a few dollars by doing
so. They help the settlers get started
and give them every chance to pay for
the land from the crops produced upon
it.
"Unless I miss my guess, you will see
Southeastern Oregon get some effective
advertising as a result of this purchase.
These men know how to advertise a
new country in order to attract those
people who make desirable settlers and
they are in a position to reach the peo
ple most likely to be interested in such
a region as that in which the Oregon
central lands are located.
Will Advertise the State.
"They spent much money advertis
ing several counties in North Dakota
and Northern Minnesota and made
every dollar of it effective. It was a
fortunate day for Oregon when they
decided to undertake a colonization en
terprise in this state, for they have
the experience, the money and the en
ergy to make it win."
BANQUET IN BUENOS AYRES
Secretary Root Is Accorded Great
Ovation by Business Men.
BUENOS AYRES, Aug. 18. Secre
tary Root and the members of his
party yesterday visited the port and
docks here. Besides smaller functions
last night, a grand banquet was given
at the opera house in honor of the
American by a leading representative
of banking and commerce. Speeches
were made by Senor Drago and Secre
tary Root.
The banquet was one of the most
Important functions since his arrival
here. Senor Drago, former Minister of
Foreign Affairs, in proposing the health
of President Roosevelt, Secretary Root
and the people of the United States, said
the moment was propitious for drawing
closer the bonds of amity uniting the
two nations and adding to the material
and moral solidarity of American integ
rity. Mr. Root, when he rose to reply, was
accorded a great ovation. Tracing the
policy of the United States for over a
century, he said the United States had
never employed and never would employ
her Army or Navy for the collection of
debts contracted by governments or pri
vate Individuals. Such measures, he said,
lent themselves to speculation and were
based on sordid subjects. He was an ad
vocate of arbitration and mediation and
all other elements that made for peace.
These matters were in the hands of the
people, who should be Inculcated with a
spirit of humanity and just considera
tion for others, so that neither Govern
ment, Presidents, Congresses could enter
upon a war policy which was destructive
of all 'the higher 'qualities of mankind.
The Secretary spoke of the phenomenal
progress of the: Argentine Republic, . ad
ding that what he had seen during his
brief stay here had rendered all his
previous knowledge of the country, ob
tained from books, magazines and news
papers, of little value as indications of
the present greatness of Argentina. Mr.
Root concluded with an eloquent tribute
to Buenos Ayres, Its people, institutions,
hospitality and splendor, and resumed his
seat amid the greatest .enthusiasm, flow
ers being showered on him from all parts
of the house. The banquet will long be
remembered by the Argentine people and
may he considered to be the Inauguration
of a new era in the relations between, the
United States and Argentina.
The earthquake in Chile may alter the
itinerary of Secretary Root.

the forcible collection of public debts,
but of all pecuniary claims. Argentina
was routed on all points in the discus
sion. The committee on patents, trade
marks and copyrights concluded its
work today with the adoption of a res
olution recommending the formation of
an American union of patents, trade
marks and copyrights, with co-operating
registration offices at Havana
and Rio de Janeiro. It Is also recom
mended that each contracting country
shall remit monthly to all other coun
tries in the union all records of pat
ents, trademarks and copyrights
granted by it. ,
ROOT EXPLAINS HIS SPEECH
Tells Argentine Press He- Did Not
' Advocate Alliance With Brazil.
BUENOS AYRES. Aug. 18. Secre
tary Root visited the naval library and
arsenal and made a tour of the' ar
senal grounds today. , He paid a visit
to the naval school. Afterwards he
called at the Government bank. Lunch
was served at the Palraero Garden
and the party then started for home.
Forty motor cars were used to convey
the party. Secretary Root will depart
Sunday evening for Bahia Blanco,
where he will meet the cruiser Charles
ton. Secretary Root today emphatically
contradicted the Interpretation of the
Argentine press made on his Brazilian
speeches to the effect that he had ad
vocated an alliance of Brazil and
America.- On account of the rivalry
between Brazil and Argentine this In
terpretation of the speech caused much
discussion and irritation.
STRIKERS STOXE ROOT'S . CAR
Members of Argentine Party With
Him Slightly Hurt.
BUENOS AYRES, Aug. 18. .While
Mr. Root and a party were returning
Thursday from the Chascomus ranch,

HOME BUILDING
The necessary essentials in home-building are location, neigh
borhood, convenience and scenery. The building instinct is so
highly developed in the average Portlander that the good points
, of a building site are readily and quickly appreciated. If
you are satisfied and thoroughly contented -with your present
surroundings, then, ""Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be
wise ' ' ; but if you are awake or awakening to the fact that
your surroundings can be improved, or that you should enjoy
some of the largely increasing values that are occurring in
Portland real estate, then put yourself in full possession of all
of the facts about your home city, and when you have done
this you will thoroughly agree with us when we state, that the
Buckman Subdivision, containing twelve full blocks "on East
Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets, between Davis and Glisan streets, combines in location
and general environment every prerequisite for the ideal home.
The scenery is surprisingly fine, and the improvements will be
strictly modern and flrst-class. The elevation of these lots is 130
feet. They are only 15 minutes' walk from the business center.
The values of these lots are steadily increasing, and the
history of all growing cities will be repeated in Portland, so
that in a comparatively Bhort space of time the 'residences in
this locality will give place to business houses. It is pleasant
to know and think that the value of your home is daily
increasing.
These lots can. be purchased for $2000 per lot. and upwards,
including all improvements. Just Btop and think' for one
moment. In what city of 150,000 population that you know of,
or ever heard of, can lots 15 minutesi walk from the heart of
the down-town district be bought for such prices T
These lots have a future, and a bright future. They are big
money-makers at this price. These are not cheap lots, but the
price is arranged to allow the buyer the chance of making an
immediate profit. Cheapness is regulated, not by what you
pay, but what you get for what you pay. Do a little thinking
for yourself. Do not take the advice of any man who has other
lots for sale. Ve will help you in any way that we can.
