THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN; PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 15, 1907. STATE IS HELPED By ADVERTISING Rich Harvest Is Reaped in Settlers and Actual Money Invested. MANY COME TO OREGON Xiow Colonist Kates Are Also At tracting Thousands of Settlers. Counties and Cities Get Good Returns From Advertising. PARTIAL KKSn.TS OF PRESENT STATE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN.

Total population thus added to Oregon In 6 months, 100.000. Five thousand per cent yearly Income on the" money Invested, $40,000,000 total, Is the profit estimated" from the present advertising rampalpn being conducted by the Oregon Development .League, accord ing to Tom Richardson, of the Portland Commercial Club. "Nothing like 1t has ever been known In positive tangible results In America," Bald Mr. Richardson yesterday. "Oregon ss a whole has so far this year Invested $125,000 in advertising the towns, cities and counties of Oregon.and also the stato In general, and the fact that the Trans continental Passenger Association is granting special low rates till October 31 only to colonists is also of great benefit to the state. The returns have been al most beyond belief. "For instance: The Portland Commer cial Club has invested $1100 In display ads In various farm papers, and journals covering a circulation of 7,000,000 readers. From our investment this club alone has received over 16.000 answers. We not only reply to each one ourselves in the manner that each inquiry seems to demand, by letter, printed matter, maps, newspapers, or any other Information tho writer hap pens to want, but we al.so pass this list on to the 75 commercial bodies out over the state, which compose the Oregon De velopment League. Theso organizations In turn bombard the 18,000, prospective colonists with Information of various kinds. But added to this list- of names are the lists, each body has of Its own. The result Is wonderful. "According to the railroads, as proved by the tickets for this low rate, collected last March and April, over 14,000 people came Into this state to live this year. Most of them came from the Middle West. Iowa led in those she sent to us. with Minnesota a close second. Ninety-four per cent of the newcomers are Americans, and practically all of them have been people who sold out back there and came here with an average of $2000 apiece. But few were young men looking for land to take up. Most of the newcomers bought farms outright. In Benton County, for example, $400 was invested in advertis ing this rate and so far this year the records show that over $600,000 was In vested in Benton County land by the colonists. There Is a return of 150,000 per cent on the money Invested. But Benton County is successful above the average. Still all told Oregon this year lias on the Investment of $125,000 received about $2R,000,000 cash return from money the colonists have actually brought from the Middle West to this state and invested, mostly in farms. Add $12,000,000 as a very low estimate of the increased values. In all ways such an increase of population and cash capital has brought to the state and you have $40,000,000 as the return of $123,000 invested in state advertising. Has this ever been equalled In the United States before, or in the world for that matter. 1n either Government or private advertising? "It is safe to say that for every $1 in vested in advertising the state this year iwe have received $500 in return. Of course It cannot be reduced to the exact conditions of a bank statement, but as near as any man can calculate it thbse ere about the figures. "The league has not only used display Space but has invoked that best of all advertisements, the personal letter. Prizes FREE CONTEST FOR CASH PRIZES. $3000 in cash prises for articles published about Pacific Northwest: First prize ...$1000 Second prise. 500 Third prize 250 Fourth prize 200 Fifth prize 175 Sixth prize 150 Seventh prize 125 Eighth prize 110 Ninth prize 100 Tenth prize 00 Ten prizes of $75 each 750 Ten prizes of $50 each 500 Ten prizes of $25 each . 250 Twenty prizes of $15 each 300 Twenty prizes of $10 each 2O0 Three Judges to be named by Hon. George E. Chamberlain, Governor of Oregon 300 Grand total $5000 Open to the world (except Oregon and Washington publications). Guar anteed by Portland Commercial Club. Free from all monetary conditions. are offered In various towns to the school boy or girl who writes the best personal letter East to another, telling about the chances out here in Oregon. Then there Is this $5000 contest of the Portland Com mercial Club for the best articles pub lished in papers anywhere except In Washington and Oregon. This money Is guaranteed by the leading men of Port land, and Is absolutely free. The only requirements are as follows: "Articles must appear in a regular edition of some newspaper or other publication dated on -or before Decem ber 31,. 1907, printed outside of the states of Oregon and Washington, said publication (complete) to be in the hands of the Judges no later than Feb ruary 1, 1908. Articles must be sealed and addressed to 'Prize Contest, care Portland Commercial Club, Portland, Or." They will be opened by the judges Prizes will be strictly on the merits of the articles. Contestants can treat any phase of the subject that appeals to them Natural Resources, Scenery, Ir rigation, Agriculture and Horticulture, Timber, Dairying, History, Educational and Religious Advantages, Climate, So cial Conditions, etc., or In a more com prehensive vein. The judges will be absolutely untrammeled in making their decisions. "Now here is one thing I want to call particular attention to: These colonist rates may never be granted again, be cause of the laws about rates recently passed. These rates apply to all parts of the West. That means that the state that does the best advertising: right now gets the best returns. Ore gon must fight practically all the other Western states for colonists, to say nothing of Canada. So the best rustler among the states gets tYt lion's share of the people coming this way. The state that works the hardest right now and for the next few weeks gets the best. ' - "This Is not a home-seekers' rate, nor granted by any one railroad. Tickets under the old scheme were sold only from certain points to other certain points on certain trains and days of the week. This rate is over all the lines in America, good on all ordinary trains, and on sale every day while- it lasts. "Of the various towns and cities Corvallis got the best results, 600O answers all told. Astoria is spending the most money, not even excepting Portland. Portland is receiving about 250 replies a day right now, all new ones, too. The country papers all over the state deserve the greatest credit, perhaps, outside the commercial bodies themselves, for many of them keep the table of rates running at the head of their editorial columns, or on the front page of every Issue, and that costs money." At the Chamber of Commerce it was learned that hundreds of new colonists are arriving in Portland daily. How many are reaching the other points in the state direct cannot now be cal culated with any sense of surety, but the indications are that the months of September and October will far ex ceed tho months of March and April In the settlers attracted to Oregon. The railroads coming Into Portland report that more people are arriving daily in this city than during the Expo sitions The baggage rooms are Jammed full, and surplus baggage has to be piled up outside under the shed till there Is room for It Inside. Four box cars of baggage stand in the station yet unloaded. The people arriving are, by the tickets collected by the O. R. & N. for the week ending September 8, as follows: Reached Huntington this year, 1450; last year, 687. Of these 1450 newcomers 245 went to Portland; 345 to Pugct Sound points; 126 to Spokane; 457 to points north of Port- SPECIAL, LOW RATES TO ORE GON. Special- low colonist rates. .

AIM BLOW AT POLYGAMY Methodists Would Give Government Power to Suppress Practice. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 14. (Spe cial.) The Puget Sound Methodist Conference today unanimously adopted a series of resolutions demanding that Congress submit a constitutional amendment giving the Federal Govern ment power to punish polygamlsts. It Is declared in the resolutions that the Mormons have not kept faith with the Federal Government, and are still prac tising polygamy. The states are aaid to be powerless to enforce state laws, because of Mormon activity In local politics, and the Methodists Insist that the Federal Government be given au thority to regulate the creed. The resolutions were offered by the reform committee without any previous notice and were adopted without any debate by a rising vote. The following ministerial delegates were elected today to the national con ference: Presiding Elder B. F. Brooks, of Ta coma district; Presiding Elder S. S. Sulliger, Bellingham district; Presid ing Elder George A. Landen. Centralia district, and President E. M.

Sept. 15. (To the Ed itor.) In Fridayfs Oregonian is an article headed, "That Big Cucumber." Now, I have a cucumber that was picked oft the vine more than a week ago, that still weighs 3 pounds 3 ounces, and measures 14 inches in length and 11 Inches in circumfer ence. It would have weighed several ounces more when freshly picked. It is of the Long Green variety, and grew in dry ground. They attain a large size before the seeds form. It has been suggested I exhibit It at'the Pure Food Show. A. WEBFOOT. GERMANY i OF FLEET'S MOVE Hinted That This Nation Is Cause of Hurried Transfer - to the Pacific. TREATIES BIND NATIONS England Must Help Japan if Latter Fights- Two ' Powers at Once, Hence Little Cbance of Jap " anese-Amerlcan War. BY CHAUNCET TPOMAS. According to certain powers that be the real reason why the American fleet of battleships is being rushed to the Pacific rests in one word Germany. Considerable speculation Is in the air concerning the real motives of the War Department, although perhaps not over half a dozen men in America can tell just the reason why the big boats should leave- the large Eastern cities "exposed" at this time, and hurry into- Western waters. The war talk involving Japan is more or less Idle International gossip. Japan Is out of money, and could not fight without the financial backing of some wealthy nation. Then there is stllf another reason, why a war with Japan is practically out of the question: Japan Is under treaty with England to assist Eng land if England gets into armed trouble; in return England must help Japan in case Japan is fighting two powers of the first class. If Japan crossed .swords with the United States at present Russia would without doubt lose no time in digging up the hatchet and sweeping down into Man churia and Corea. This would pit Japan against two first-class powers indeed,) and, according to treaty, England would then have to fight the United States. Japan Cannot Fight America. The idea of England and America at war over the brown man is absurd; hence if Japan let herself be dragged into a war with America she would find her self against not only Russia and Amer ica, but without any help; in fact if necessary for international or territorial reasons, England would no doubt side with America under almost any1 circum stances. So the chance of wAr with Ja pan is small' lnjdeed now and for some time to come. The troubles between hobos in San Francisco and the Japanese are of the same caliber as the tempest in a teapot in Vancouver between the Canadians and the Hindus. Neither is of more import ance in an international sense than the recent black and white riot in Atlanta. But the American fleet is hurrying to the Pacific; and with every evidence of something serious in view. The Ameri can vessels in thePhllippine waters have Just come home to the Golden Gate. Why? Perhaps because Germany has more float ing metal in the Pacific just now than has the United States and thin-skinned cruisers are safer for a few weeks under the guns of the Golden Gate than thou sands of miles away from all help in the Philippines. Panama Canal a New Feature. Russia, another power on the Pacific In the long runi has no fleet, so our warships are not looking for bear. And if America feared the only other Pa cific power she would surely keep the fleet near the big cities on our Eastern sea board. The Panama canal will soon put a new piece on the board of the interna tional chess game that never ends. Only within the past three years Germany came within a hair's breadth of getting San Domingo. Nothing prevented it but the menance of American guns, and the problem was not solved, but merely post poned, by President Roosevelt's taking practical control of the black republic, but whose efforts 'were practically re versed for political reasons within our own borders. Within the past year Secretary Root, one of the two right-hand men of Presi dent Roosevelt, has made a tour of South America, the one continent where Ger many hopes to get a permanent foothold. At the present time the other right-hand man. Secretary of War Taft, and perhaps the next President of the United States, is on his way to the Philippines, then direct to Germany, where he will have a talk with the Kaiser. The next Congress will no doubt undertake to revise the tariff, and the American tariff has always been a sore point with Germany. Germany wants, and for trade purposes badly needs, a stronger foothold in the Orient. During the late Spanish war Ger many several times put a chip on her shoulder in Manila bay. Swinging for a moment nearer home: Only last week Secretary of The Navy Metcalf made s hurried trip along the Pacific Coast in person, then direct back to Washington and to the President. At once the sailing time of the battleship fleet was hurried up one month, changed from December 17 to November 17. Turning again to a wider view: Eng land and Germany have not been on over cordial terms concerning world trade for the past decade. "Made In Germany" has become a hated trade term in England. Selling German steel in Sheffield has rankled the Englishman for the past ten years. - "With all the above facts to judge from, no one need be surprised if a deal either to take or to buy the Philippines suddenly bears fruit with the root in Germany. The interests of England and America on the Pacific are too nearly alike to give rise to the slightest war cloud; and with the American fleet in Pacific waters no Ger man fleet will ever try to reach the east ern coast of America. If it does. It will naturally And the English fleet between it and home, a situation more dangerous to Germany than to anyone else. If the American fleet, after cruising Pacific waters, finds them still pacific and returns to the eastern seaboard. It will probably mean that the Kaiser has thought better of whatever he may now have In hand or mind. Such will no doubt be the outcome of the present movement of the American battle fleet, but behind it all lie hidden the real reasons of which few men are in a position even to hint. SUES MRS. BAUMGARTNER Man Run Over by Automobile Would Collect $15,000 Damages. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 14. (Special,) Edward B. Evans, the employe of the Postal Telegraph Company who was knocked down by an automobile on First TALENTED ACTOR WINS RECOGNITION. ; - t - . v - t 2- V s - (, 4i VtUti n 1-ir.r. iHMTO a-l.i m.i-tt Lee Wlllard. The career of Lee Wlllard, who has appeared here during the past week in "A Texas Ranger," is of unusual in terest. It also serves as an incentive to all young men and women who undertake the stage as a" career. Mr. Wlllard is a graduate of Washington State University arid a young star of scholastic attainments. He , has ap peared' In Portland a number of times and has always left a favorable Im pression. He Is ambitious, to reach the highest levels to which an Ameri can actor may attain and seems like ly to do so. He has the unmistak able touch of genius which is required of those who seek success in sock and buskin, and if no untoward thing hap pens him he is sure to make his mark. Those who have watched his work feel very sure that Lee Wlllard will soon assume the position he de serves to occupy as one of the really great American actors. , avenue, driven by Mrs. F. P. Baumgart ner, of Portland, a few days ago, today began suit against Mrs. Baumgartner and her husband for $15,000 damages. Evans alleges in his suit that the auto mobile dashed around a street corner with great speed and ran over him, severely Injuring him. Evans was riding a bicycle at the time he was struck. Mrs. Baum gartner was in Seattle visiting her mother, and had brought north with her the auto mobile, with which she won the first prize in the Portland rose show. Road, Beyond Law's Reach. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept 14. (Special.) A coroner's jury today held that the Great Northern switch engine which struck and killed M. Tsukuno, a Japanese banker and business man, while he was on his way to the Great Northern dock with flowers for Judge Thomas Burke, Banker M. F. Backus, Ambassador Thomas J. O'Brien and others, was running at the rate of 25 miles an hour, in violation of the city ordinance. The jury endeavored to hold the railroad responsible for the accident, but the point where the killing occurred is just outside the speed limits. KILLS RATS FOR A LIVING? NO, HE DOES IT AS AN ART Laik, Rat-Catcher Extraordinary of Russia, Has Come to Portland to Bid the Town of Rodent Pests. THOSE persons who have believed heretofore that cats and poison were the surest mediums for killing rats and mloe must-necessarily revise their, views of the matter. Neither cats nor poison have anything to do with modern rat-killing. The up-to-date extirpator . of rodent pests is of the human family, and he relies on no assistance from the feline species or from the mixtures of. chemists. The peer of human rat-killers, the man who relieved Russia of its sur plus rodents "back In the plague days, has Just been hired by the local health authorities to apply his art to local pests. The term art is used for. the sufficient reason that this slayer of rats and mice has placed his work on an artistic basis. It is elevated above the mere skillful handling of imple ments which marks the artisan. With him. It is a matter of temperament, of Innate understanding and study and long experience. He has mastered the psychology and habits of the rodent tribe, until mice simply stand In line for the honor of being put out of ex istence by his masterly method. The mice-killer's name is Laik. He emanates from Russia, where for sev en years he was official rat-slayer in the City of Odessa. His services were secured yesterday by the health au thorities, and his salary is provided for under the City Council's, special enactment of recent date. Laik will begin operations bright and early tomorrow morning. Health Commissioner Pohl has instructed him to apply his genius first to the water front. - He will accordingly open hos tilities in ' that vicinity, and continue until the last of the rodent hosts is dead. Laik, -who Is a Russian Jew, past E0. bearded and silent, declines to speak of his methods. Not even the city authorities are able to learn how he operates. In fact, he says it would be impossible to describe his modus op erandi, for the reason that, like the work of other artists, intuition plays so large a part in what he does. He warrants results, however, and brings a long string of credentials to show that his is a master hand when it comes to exterminating pests. His most recent commission was to rid the City Park of its rodent inhabitants, and in this he was eminently success ful. There has been some speculation as to how Laik operates. Some say he uses a subtle lure in the shape of a chemical compound, and then sprays the hapless creatures with deadly poison. Others Insist that he follows the time-honored formula of posting himself at a rat-hole and making a noise similar to that produced by a piece of cheese. However this may be he gets the results, and that is what counts. It is claimed for him that in one pest-rldd.i . coriimunity he deprived some 91,000 rats of their, cor poreal existence. Do not for a moment get the Idea that Portland is swarming with rats or mice or any other pests, excepting; perhaps, a few pessimists. Rodent pests are really scarce out this way. but following the general policy of improvement, it Is the desire of the city to do away with everything in' the rat line that at present infests the community. Wharf rats will go first, and then a new Held of operation will be provided for the city's new official, whose formal designatn is Chief of the Bureau for Extirpation of RaU. VACATION DAYS ARE OVER FALL TERM OPENS TOMORROW IX ALL SCHOOLS. Increased Attendance "Will Result in . Crowding of Many Buildings Xew Ones Are Still Unfinished. To the average person of mature years today is Sunday day of rest and peace and tranquility. To the juvenile mind it is an occasion of more far-reaching sig nificance the day before school opens. Willie and Johnny and Harry must es chew the shady swimming pool, the rip pling Ashing place, the inviting hills and the places that are dear to the youthful heart In vacation time. It Is arithmetic reading, spelling and grammar that must hold his attention henceforth. He must forget the cooling river and the wily trout for the less pleasing but infinitely more necessary requirements of algebra, Latin, geology, natural history and the like; while Nellie and Florence and Jessie must put aside pretty Summer dreams for the .more material pleasure of. ascertain ing what 2 y plus 3x equals. Indications are that there will be an un precedented Increase of attendance over the opening of the Fall term in the Portland schools last year. In fact the probable Increase is placed somewhere be 1000 and 2000, which means that many of the schools will be crowded for a time, for the additions and new school struc tures are mainly unfinished, even as last year. When school opened last September some 13,964 children responded to the cali of Dame Erudition. It was more than there was room for at the time. The days had to be divided in order to ac commodate the pupils of several crowded buildings, although, of course, none was turned away. This year the estimate of probable at tendance is fixed In the neighborhood of from 16,000 to 17,000; in which event there will be more overcrowding, temporarily at least, and the corps of 620 teachers may have to be increased. Only one of the half-dozen school additions has been com pleted and this is a two-room affair at Irvington. At Portsmouth, Vernon, Cres ton, Arleta, Montavilla ' and Terwilliger the additional schoolrooms have yet to be completed. . At Arleta half-day classes will doubtless be required for some con siderable time to come, that all may be accommodated. The new Vernon school is far from ready. Several da-s must elapse before the schools will be -able to settle down , to routine work, owing to changes of text books. These changes apply to all classes except those graduating with the end of the Fall term. The county schools, as well as those of the city, open their doors tomorrow, and a heavy enrollment is looked for in the rural places of learning. All county schools open in the morning excepting three, which began the Fall term last Monday, the Russelvllle. Sandy Road and Cedar schools. Changes of text books occur also in the county schools. BLANKETED STORE'S SIGN Furniture Company Complains Against Foster & Kleiser. Acting on a complaint filed with the City Auditor by the Independent Fur niture Company, the City Council will be asked to declare the Foster & Klei ser billboards at the southeast corner of First and Morrison streets a nuisance, and a detriment to the mer chants of that vicinity. M. M Sugar man, manager of the company, says that when he rented the store at-106 First street, his people were ap proached by representatives of Foster & Kleiser who desired to bill the two story wall on the south side of the building. The firm offered to paint one-half of tho wall with the sign of the furniture company and use the other half for other signs. Mr. Sugar man did not accept this offer, as he wanted the entire wall for his advert tieement, but told the representative of Foster & Kleiser that he would con sider their offer to paint his sign on the wall. The man made a bid which seemed too high, and Mr. Sugarman would give no answer. He looked up other sign painters and receiving lower bids, refused to give the work to Foster & Kleiser. On the next visit of the representa tive of Foster & Kleiser, Mr. Sugar man told him that he had given the work to another painter. Whereupon the representative of the eignboard people told him that should the work be done by an opposition firm Foster & Kleiser would place 20-foot signs all around the building, thus shutting in the Independent Furniture sign from view. Mr. Sugarman told him to go ahead, and gave the work to an inde pendent signpalnter. Inside of two weeks Foster & Klei ser carried out their threat and raised 20-foot signs around the Independent Furniture Company's sign, completely hiding it from view. On the sign boards were placed advertisements of other furniture companies. Hence Mr. Sugarman's appeal to the Council. Changes In Oregon City Schools. OREGON CITY, Or., 'Sept 14. (Spe cial.)
