The Best Field For
Colonization
Says President Louis W. Hill, of the
Great Northern "Oregon presents a
better field for colonization than any
other state today, not alone because of
the lack of development of a large
portion of it, but also because of the
fact that almost any variety of climate
that may be found from Maine to Ma
son and Dixon's line, or between the
Atlantic coast and the Mississippi Riv
er, may be f. und in Oregon." Mr.
Hill and the great financial interests he
represents are backing their judgment
regarding this state by investing mo-c
millions in this field than have ever
been spent here in a similar period.
The North Bank Road, across the
Columbia River, was built almost ex
clusively for the purpose of developing
the great trade of the Willamette Val
ley, Central Oregon and the coast re
gions of the state. The construction of
that road was followed by the absorp- J
tion of the Astoria & Columbia Rail-'
road, the Oregon Electric and United J
Railways systems and the building of
a road into the long-neglected Central
Oregon country and to the Pacific Coast
by way of Tillamook and Nehalem.
The possibilities of the region now
being Invaded by the Hill lines are so
great, however, that it is hardly pos
sible that the present aversion to rail
road invetsments will extend far
enough to retard construction of the
necessary feeders in Oregon and Wash
ington for a period of great length.
In view of the unsettled financial
condition in the East and the hostile
sentiment that is preventing invest
ment in railroad securities, it is some
what surprising that the work on both
the Hill and the Harriman systems in
this state is progressing as rapidly as
it is. The combined mileage of newj
track which will bo laid by these lines
in 1910 will exceed that of any previous
year of railroad building in the history
of the state. In order to got this new
territory which is being opened up into
traffic-producing condition the railroads
are making Btrenous efforts to Induce
immigrants to come to Oregon. Pub
licity work now carried on in the East
is the most effective that has ever been
undertaken.
CATALOGUE BUYING.
Many Disappointments Resulting From
Sending Money Away.
There are limits to the possibilities
of making purchases from no better
guido than a catalogue picture, aud
many must bo the disappointments re
sulting from it. Suppose that the trust
lng woman's eye Is taken with the
print of n gown described by the opt!
mlstic recorder of suqh things as Alice
blue. It sounds safe. Blue has always
been her color, and she fills out the
blank. Then comes the business of
choosing the hat that is to go with It
and supplement Its work of electrlfy-
lug the citizens of the humlet In which
she lives. Aud of course there Is a
hat that just suits, and the text prom
Ises that It will be furnished In any
one of six colors, one of them being
providentially Alice blue. Gloves, veil
and parasol, all of them are supplied
by the merchant In the same lovely
shade, and It looks as If a costume of
surpassing beauty and completeness
were about to be acquired.
Later It arrives, all Its several parts
Intact and "Just as advertised." But,
oh, shades of Alice, can It be that the
daughter of a president lent the sane
tion of her name to this variety of
blues blues that represent almost the
whole gamut of tints and in comblna
tion are nothing short of distressing?
New York Herald.
Courage
Oh. fear not In a world like this
And thou shalt know ere Jons
Know how sublime a thins it is
To suffer and be strong!
And thou, too, whosoe'er thou art,
That readest this brief psalm,
As one by one thy hopes depart
Be resolute and calm.
Longfellow.
