For the young man who is seeking to branch out and launch into business for himself, and
who is brimfull of ambition, the manufacturing and business sites of BURLINGTON offer
untold advantages. A magnificent waterfront, with depth to carry vessels of the deepest
draught, together with the fact that it is already a junction point of the Northern Pacific, is
the site of the ferry to Sauvie's Island and will be the rail shipping point for the farms of the
Tualatin Plains, assure the investor that BURLINGTON will undoubtedly be one of the
greatest industrial centers of the Northwest. .
Not only does BURLINGTON present these industrial opportunities, but for the man
who enjoys sitting on the porch of his own home, after the turmoil and grime of the day's work
in the city, and gazing across a fertile v.alley, watered by two beautiful streams, towards a
range of snow-capped mountains with three of the most magnificent peaks-in the West in
full view, BURLINGTON offers an opportunity for a suburban home site not to be disregarded

NEWS HAS DRIED UP
Washington Under New Regime
Dry Town for Reporters.
TAFT SHUNS PUBLICITY
.Passing of Roosevelt Brings Dull
Days at Capital Half of t-
partment Heads Adopt
Clamlikr. Policy.
OHEGOXLAV NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington. May 1 News has become a
scaroe article around "Washington since
Theodore Roosevelt retired from the
"White House. Congress has been the
chief producer since March 4. and almost
11 Important stories emanating from
"Washington during the past few -weeks
hvs come either from the halls of Con
gress or from Individual members of
Senate and House. The "White House.
r once the source of unlimited news, is
now one of the dullest spots visited by
newspaper men. The Government depart
ments. taking their cue from the White
i House, are producing very little "covy,"
i and officials of the Administration, when
they can be seen, have little to offer in
the way of Information. From the news
paper man's standpoint. Washington has
become a "dry town."
1 Itoes "ot Like Fnolleity.
The fact Is that President Taft is not
much of an advertiser; he does not care
for and does not like newspaper notoriety.
He has a host of friends among the
.Washington correspondents, but he does
not talk with them as freely or as
frequently as did bis predecessor. Admin
istration policies are no longer made the
subject of conferences between the Presi
dent and the newspaper men. Correspon
dents wishing to see Mr. Taft must do
so by appointment made through Ms
secretary. And these appointments are
not to be had except when the President
Is- willing to discuss some specified sub
. Jeot. Even the Sunday night story that
, was a feature of the Roosevelt Admin is
: t ration haa gona out of vogue, for Mr.
Taft keeps away from official cares on
Sunday, and does not labor on that day
-except In cases of the utmost urgency.
It la not correct to say that all the
Government departments have closed
their doors to newspaper men, for they
have not. Perhaps half the members of
the Cabinet are readily accessible, and
are mora or less free to discuss the busi
ness of their departments. The other
half. however, operate behind closed
I doors, and rare. Indeed, Is the newspaper
man who penetrates the sanctum. He
, savar gats In unless h waits an hour
or two, and there are few men on few
missions who can afford to cool their
heels In the outer office of any department
for that length of time. In all the de
partments, however, subordinate officials
have been suppressed, and are no longer
at liberty to discuss official matters for
publication.
Press Bureaus Suppressed.
There has been another great change
with the change of Administration, yresa
bureaus of a number of Government
bureaus, which had been maintained for
purely advertising purposes, have been
closed. It had become auite a. fad in
official Washington in late years for
every enthusiastic bureau to establish a
press bureau for the dissemination of
news. Information and advertising matter.
Several of the press bureaus eventually
overlooked the news and devoted their
efforts almost entirely to the exploita
tion of the work of their respective
bureaus and the laudation of their respec
tive officials. The bulk of the product of
these bureaus was never published, espe
cially In the larger dailies, but it did
find its way Into the country papers.
It will do so no longer, for press bureaus
operated on those lines are obnoxious to
the President. Only such bureaus as
produce un colored news items are now
allowed to operate In officialdom, and they
are very few.

ARMY COOKS OUTDO CHEFS
Xovel Contest In Paris Proves Sol
diers Readier of Wit.
PAEIS, May 1. (Special.) This year's
great novelty at the Paris culinary ex
hibit Is the competition of 90 soldier
cooks with the best chefs of Paris. These
regimental culinary artists have been se
lected from different military kitchens
in Paris and the provinces by M. Cher
on. the Under-Secretary for War. who
has done so much for' the improvement
of the conditions among soldiers.
The Minister of Agriculture, M. Ruan.
visited the exhibit, which Is held in the
gardens of the Tuilieries. and was re
ceived by the chairman of the committee,
M. MartTuery, the well-known restau
rateur. The soldier cooks scored by
answering questions which, by their sim
plicity, may have staggered many a chef.
"How many litres of water are re
quired, and how much salt, to make a
good soup for a hundred men?'" they
were asked: or again, "How many onions
and how much spicing are required to
supply 120 mess-tins?""
These questions were promptly and
well answered by the soldiers.
MUDSLINGING IN IRELAND
Do-wden Assails BirreU and Cherry
Rnshes to Defense.
DUBININ. May 1. (Special.) Mr. Cher
ry, the Irish Attorney-General, has re
cently adopted the somewhat unusual
course of writing to the newspapers to
protest against the misrepresentations
and personal charges which he says Mr.
Eirrell and himself have been the vic
tims. In a letter to the Irish Times he
complains that at a recent meeting in
Dublin Professor- Dowden called the Chief
Secretary a thief, and. by comparing the
principal law officer to one of the most
degraded characters in Shakespeare, im
plied that he was both corrupt and in
competent. He further complains that
J. H Campbell, M. P.. the late Attorney
General, in addition to charging-the Chief
Secretary with almost every crime known
to the law, has, on various occasions,
charged his own successor in office with
various disgraceful acts, including the
forging or falsifying of police reports in
the Castle and openly encouraging crime
and outrage in the country. Mr. Cherry
protests against "this system of wild and
reckless personal accusation, which cor
rupts and degrades public life."
Professor Dowden replies that what he
charged Mr. Birrell with was a breach of
the eighth commandment, in that he had
taken "the crown jewels of Justice and
mercy" and pawned them at Mr. Red
mond's office for what he could get. As
a Shakespearean student, he objects to
the Chief Constable's subordinate in
"Much Ado About Nothing" being styled
"a degraded character." Did not the
Chief himself describe him as "a most
quiet watchman, for I cannot see . how
sleeping should offend?"
Boy Wears "No Jam" Tag.
New Tork Cof. Philadelphia Record.
A sturdy 7-year-old English lad. carry
ing a big basketful of eatables, has just
started from New Tork to Bisbee, Ariz.,
on the second and last stage of a lone
some Journey from England. Pinned to
the boy's coat was a big tag reading:
"This boy is going to a loving mother in
Arizona- Treat him as you would have
your own boy treated. Don't give him
any jam.'
The boy. Jimmy Holland came to New
York on the Teutonic. ,

mouth of a girl who is singing.
