"Within the past four years a tide of settlers has
set in this direction, small at first but steadily grow
tog each years as the new comers spread the news
and thus helped to attract their friends and ac
quaintances. The railroads for their part have done
their full duty in this respect not only in scattering
attractive literature but iu reducing, rates so as to
induce the right sort of settlers to come here and ex
amine things for themselves. Other public bodies
have aided in the work but yet it altogether was not
nearly so far-reaehing and systematic as to coin
pletely meet the demand.
It is now proposed to go far beyond anything
heretofore attempted not merely to advertise the
country, but its products and to make them stand
forward as they do in the enterprising state to the
south of us. This is a big undertaking and it re
quires general co-operation to make it a complete
success, it is not tne wort or one section or oi one
class of people for a special interest, but it should
be made the work of all the sections and all the
people for the whole state. It should be appreciated
that anything done for any part of Oregon will
surely help every other part of Oregon and that no

The Pan-Amerloan Railway
In th United State they continue
to cherish the scheme of an inter-con-tlnental
railway which will connect the
systems of North and South America
through the Isthmus of Panama, and
ultimately create a continuous line
from New Turk to Buenos Ayrea. The
report of the commissioner appointed
to study the possibilities of the ques
tlon has now been published, and he
points out that certain Important
events have been working; together of
late to give It a more hopeful aspect.
Mexico has been gradually working Its
systems down to the Guatemala bor
der, and has now only ITS miles to
go to reach It It Is still prosecuting
the work In that direction, while the

Nicaragua, and a similar activity Is
beginning to appear In Costa IUca,
.The United Fruit Company has lines
on the Atlantic coast which It proposes
to extend to Boca del Toro, In Panama.
At the same time, says Mr. Pepper,
indications have become more favor
able at the South American end. "The
boundary dispute between Argentina
and Chill has been settled, and the
latter country has concluded an ar
rangement for the construction of a
tunnel through the Andes under the
government guarantee, which will re
