for two weeks following that

reduced Kites than occurred in

September and October 27,000
settlers came to the Pacific
Northwest. This figure did not
include those who came by way
ot Puget Sound points, estima
ted at 5000, and which won id
increase the total to 32,000 new
settlers. During the present
year the colonist rates go into
effect on March 1st, and from
Omaha, Kansas Cily, St. Paul.
Winnipeg and Duluth, aud all

points, tickets can bo secured
to any railroad point in Oregon
for only $30. Through these
