Attractions Are Jfot paraded. , Portland is tha least advertised oltr on tha Paclflo coast, according to R. V. Qray, tha Morrison street clothing , merchant, whs has just returned from a tnrta months visit to southern Cal L Morula, recuperating from a serious 111 , ness. Thousands of wealthy eastern tour-lets spend a portion of the winters In and around Los Angeles, who scare e- ;- ij snow tnac roruand la on the map, , and no effort is made . to enlighten , - yortlaad Vot Kentloned.' , ' 1 Spent seven weeks at the Coronado fceiaJftfOronado beach, and three weeks ma .Alexandria hotel.

I heard Tacoma and Bait Lake .mentioned a hundred times . to where Portland was spoken of once. It is neediest to argue the relative im portance of Portland and these two cities,--, - -'.V r&buoitr veeded. i ' "The eastern people who come out to spend the winters in southern Califor nia have plenty of money to spend In seeing the country and if wa win but let them know that wa have something worth seeing, our hotela would now be crowded with returning easterners. 1 heartily approve the plan of tha Commercial club and kindred bodlea In seeking to fill Oregon with a good class of settlers, but X also think that soma effort ought to be made to present our many attractions to tha wealthy eastr ern tourists. "Another thing I noticed while In tha south. Is the . Beaming discrimination against Portland on tha part of tha Associated Press and other newa bu . reaus. I nsver picked up a Los An geles or Ban Francisco paper that I lid not sea a big scare-head story . from Seattle, while it was the rarest thing that I saw a Portland data.

It seeme not Inappropriate to apeak to the women of the elty of Portland on behalf of the remarkable movement undertaken to formulate publlo opinion on the question of tha liquor traf flo.

' Children taken rrom senooi, mother turned wage-earner, vainly striving to fill a double place In tha world, and to keep tha little remnant or a family to gether, and to give the children a chance.

'- . It hss also been decided that a copy of Dr. Chapman's earnest, forceful and logical address should ba placed In tha hand of each person who attends church on that day. How shall we get the booklets, that is tne only question! Oregon needs about 100.000 corlea in Order to do thla thing. They can ba printed at a cost of about one and one- half cent a piece; 'that' means, 11,500. But wait a moment At tha meeting Monday night, over $800 waa pledged, Now It only remains for tha people of Portland to respond with tha remainder of the sum. It should not ba a dlffl cult task In this wealthy and prosperous city. Not so difficult. Just think a mo ment that the 25 cents which you,, girl. wife, or mother, were about to spend for a box of candy, will print 19 of these bookleta, which may ba tha means of reaching aa many thoughtful voters who shall help to solve the question for us.

Mine waa a dear, and tha only advertisement on It was tha hotel's name in light purple ink on the outside stick. : There were no flowers on tha de sign, but there were Insertions of lace, which I painted violet. The sticks I painted so deep a purple that tha ink did Tiotshow, and a violet ribbon to match tha color of the lace gave the finishing -touoh, Even when I get' a good fan I alva It some distinguishing touch to add to Its unique appearance."
