Why William Harder, general agent for the Great . Northern, returned to Portland ( from a recent hunting ex pedition with the feathers largely picked off his pheasants, is an interest ing tale. The birds hardly bore any resemblance to the gaily-plumed Chi nas that thrive so well throughout the Willamette Valley, for they had been robbed of their brilliant plumes. The reason was that a musical comedy com pany boarded the Southern Pacific train at a Valley station and the chorus girls, were so delighted with the beautiful plumage of the pheas ants that they begged the feathers. Mr. Harder, always gallant, allowed them to pick what feathers they want ed and 'this left the btrds largely plucked.

PENDLETON. Or.. Oct. 17. (To the Editor.) The Oregonlan states that Bull Run and Portland are names known all the world over. While to some extent this is true, I will venture to assert and do not believe it can be successfully contradicted, that If a letter is posted anywhere- east of the Rockies and the word "Oregon" is not affixed to the word "Portland," the mail will go to Portland, Me. This the writer has tried and found to be the case. This was also tried with the words "Seattle" and "Tacoma" and each letter reached its destination, without delay. Still another reason why the word Port land stands for nothing locally or of the West. Let some of our good Port landers get away from the Pacific Coast or their Immediate circle, and the writer thinks they will see many reasons for the change although a ' shorter name would no doubt be better than Multnomah.

I am continually asked: Why does Portland have its poorest streetcars on the lines which bring strangers to our city? Portland street cars -and street-car system are, gener ally speaking, a' credit to any city, but the Jefferson-street cars, and. In fact, the entire car system . to and from the Union Depot are made up of cars that the citizens of Portland are themselves ashamed to use thus giving to the stranger who, perhaps, only gets as far as the hotels or downtown districts, a bad impression of our city. In the last few days, I have had several New York visitors in my of fice who spoke of Portland as the city which God had mentioned for man to fcjlve In. and they were surprised to see Electric Light In Your House BRINGS Convenience and Comfort J CHEERFULNESS AND HAPPINESS In the home, if not altogether dependent upon convenience and comfort, have the greater opportunity for growth and development where they exist.

Call Telephones: Main 6688, A 1675 for Information Portland and such a hustling, beautiful city. They had met friends who told them that Portland must be a dinky little place, judging from the streetcars they had seen up town. The people who spoke of these cars are traveling men who go from place to place on the Pacific Coast and seldom use a streetcar ex cept to go to and from the depot, to a hotel or up town. Seattle has her best streetcars to meet the stranger. Tacoma sends her best pubic conveyances to meet them, and to make a good Impression on the speculator, the homeseeker and the tourist. As a Portland booster, it hurts me to have people from Seattle and Tacoma everlastingly poking fun at our "henhouses on wheels," as they call those cars when run to the depot, to meet the enthusiastic stranger com ing to our most beautiful city for his or her first visit. Can the Portland Railway Company not be induced to give us better cars for our depot service? DR. OLIVER O. FLETCHER. "BULL" STILL ON THE RUN More Letters on Name of Portland's Water Supply.
