A crmpany with $500,000 capital has been incorporated at Port land, the site has been selected near the very jint on the Willamette reached by Captain Clark in. April, ISOfi. The leg islatures ot the various states will be asked to make appropriations, and it is believed that an appropriation from congress is practically assured.

Standard Oil Company Wants Pro duct of Bakersflcld. BAKuisriELn, Cal., January 8. It is learned here that the Standard Oil Com pany has ascertained that California oil is much better adapted to the manufac ture of kerosene than was at first sup jiosed, and, as a consequence, will great ly iucrease the manufacture of that product, and has ordered its agents to contract for oil wherever it can be ob tained without placing any limit upon the amount to bs taken, With the order to purchase all the oil in sight comes also the additional statement that the amount now availa ble does not meet the present require ments of the refinery at Point Rich mond and the contracts already made for supplying fuel oil. Near Salem is found one of the larg est nurseries 011 the Pacific coast. It comprises 200 acres, with packing housde, IMPORTANCE OF Oregon, Washington, and California Contain Onethird of the Standing Timber of the United States The-impnrtance ff the Northwest can easily be seen when we remember that in 1S50 there were only 2,0CX),000 jeople in all the West, while now the same area has a popnkition of 21,000,000, which is more people than the entire Cnited States had in 1S50. In the mid die of the last century the imputation of the West was alxmt 1-10 of the entire population of the country while now it is more than '4. Fifty years ago the West produced KCOO.OM bu-hels of grain, while the production oi 'cerals now is' 2,400,000,000 bushels annnally er nearly thirty times as lunch as then and is uow the grain producing part of the world. Live stock has made almost as great a gain. Theu it was a poor coun try filled with poor people, no it is the most prosjerou8 part of the glolnj with the wealth more evenly -distributed. Few people may have thought abont it, but Oregon, Washington and California contain one-third of the standiuglim ber of the United States and the largest mi'ls in the world are in thce states, with a lumler cut of nearlv thirtv hun SAILORS ROBBED Sailors No Sooner leave Attacked by Thugs and Thieves.

He adds: "After nearly 40 vests' experience in many seaports, I have ii hesitation in saying that for open robbery anil organired pillage of bluejackets, Bremerton nrpasw ell oilier towns I have known.

The anthracite commission made announcement this morning that hereafter long sessions settlement of th issues involved. The examination of nou-union men fered abnse at the hands of anion men was Idaho, the western part of Montana and the southwestern part of Wyoming. This territory lias an area 307,000 square miles, and since 1S50 the population has increased from less than 14,000 to 1,600, 000. It has an aggregate wealth of about 12,000,000,000. The main purpose of the exposition w ill be to advertiai the resources" and possibilities of the Pacific Northwest with a view to encouraging settlers and investors to come here from the east and middle west and establish new homes and industries. - Low railroad rates will be in effect be tween the east and the wett in that year and over all parts ot the stales of Oregon and Washington to enable the visitors, to see all parts of these states and visit any point of interest that they may see fit. HE IS REMEMBERED HERE. Grafter Reaping Harvest All Along the Line. The grafter who so recently "done" a number of jieojile in this city ia evident ly making a fortune out of his business. In Medford he is credited with having secured f 200 and he roaped a bounteous harvest in Ashland and other towns along the line. His fame does not teem to precede him. lie keeps ahead of it. He works the same game in every tow-u and the wonder is that the prospective victims do not 'jecome "wise" in ad vance. Ho has however, such a witch ing flow of language that it is doubtful J if any amount of knowledge on the part 01 his hearers coulu prevent their giv ing money to him.

Practically the entire area of these states is susceptible of devel jement i:i ng'i'.-nltural and other industrial pursuits Another very important fact ia favoi of Oregon is that in IHTiO the death rat in this state was th lowest in the Union and in 1900 the city of Portland, the only city of any large population in the state was the second healthiest city in th Unite. 1 States. These thiags taken in consideration with the fact that we have the mott equitable climate in the world and that onr natural resource are unexcelled and offer rare opportunity for capital and labor makes jj a desirable place for the active, and energetic yonng man to come to settle.
