THE OREGON SUNDAY V JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY '' MORNING, JULY ' 23, 1807. : Iff ' ;i V.-V'.,i MONTH ONLY ONE MORE TO ADVERTISE STATE Homeseeker Rates From Missouri River Points Go Into Effect September 1 and Continue Until October 31. Fare to Portland and Vicinity $25, as Usual. P Bffi ORGANIZED "Homswker rate from th Mlddls Tft to Oron go Into sffsct 8-ptsm-br 1. and continue untlj October II. Ther remains but one monto in wnicn the various communities of ths stats are to do their advertising, and everything noanlble should be done to attract set tiers In this direction." aald Tom ' Richardson, secretary of tha Oregon De velopment league, yesterday In discuss Ins the outlook for fall immigration. rnnflnnln. , BAld: Thi rates are 125 from all Mis souri river points, and from bt Paul wesi, to almost n; puiui. iu with a reduction on each ticket of 2.I0 for points east of Umatilla. Tha rate from Bt. Louis Is MO. Chicago til. i New Tork City $60, and a proportion ate rate from any poini in me enure east, and If the millions of people ! throughout the crowded sections of the : older states could only be told these ' rates bv a letter direct from some per aonal friend, relative or acaualntanoe In Oregon, the population of the state eouia be aouoiea in a snort una Agree oa Population. "Oreron people may disagree about many things, but all agree that In creased population Is absolutely neces i airr to make the state orosDerous." Mr. Richardson said. "Oregon welcomes the tourist and the latch-string Is out at all seasons of the year for visitors, out above all she welcomes the homeseeker, and It la the one-way colonist rate that brings the homeseeker. "Now we oan't entirely depend upon the railroads doing this advertising be cause the same rate that Is good to . Oregon Is also good to Canada and Cal '. If orals, Texas and Georgia, In fact all ? of the railroads agree to put on a col . on! st rate for these two monthd. and - those eomlng to Oregon get about the longest ride available in the unitea States for their money. "Tickets are sold at the same price from a point In Illinois or any other s state to Ashland as to Portland, bat 1 they must be bought to their destlna : tlon from the ticket agent back east, and the only reason a large number ' bought their tickets heretofore to Port land was because the smaller eommuni ', ties In the state have failed to do proper and effective advertising. The mar velous prosperity of Corvallls and vicin ity, brought about through intelligent ' and effective advertising and without the expenditure of any great amount of money, la an example that every community in the state or Oregon . gnouio. rouow: "Personal letters from the men women and children of Oregon to old friends In the ast Is the best possible advertising, but unless the commercial organisations take It upon themselves to see mat people actually write ice letters ao letters will be written. In one School district In Tillamook county the population was aouoiea in x monms tnrougn the work of the school children, assisted by their parents, and this can be repeated In every portion Tt the state. Ministers Should Boost. Is there any objection to havlnc the ministers of tha state explain to their congregations -whet the colonist rate means to the community, and how It can be effectively used? Ia there any better work for the women's clubs, can Hood River, and It Is the point that does the beat advertising and gets the great est lnterewt excited In their particular place that secures the people, snd there Is no work anywhere comparable to di rect personal letters, and to get that does not coat money, but It costs work, and a good, effective committee In each and every community of this state, with the assistance of the newspapers, the preachers, the commercial bodlea, the real estate men, and the patriotla clt lsen who wants to see Oregon grow, can get the results. "The Pacino northwest is In the minds of the people of the country as never before. i ne competition between Hill and Harrlman for the control of this portion of the United States, from a transportation standpoint, has been printed In the papers throughout the ..nlted States and served to awaken an Interest In this section. Untold Wealth Here. 'That we have here untold wealth In timber resources Is almost universally known. There la a vugue appreciation of the opportunities in irrigation, stock raising, fruit-growing, mining and In the development of water powers, and thou sands are on the point of changing their place of residence. Much good ad vertising has been done and at no time In the history of the state were so many commercial bodies carrying on an active campaign as at present, out to reach success the community must be active and alert, and constant diligence Is ab solutely necessary If we are to divert a great travel In this direction. "The cllmatlo situation la always a source. of Interest, but above and beyond everything else the low priced colonist ticket attracts the people, and there is nothing so fetching as a personal ap peal, through a letter from someone with whom they are acquainted- Let tera written at once give their recip ients time to think, and these letters should go out by tens of thousands ev ery week from this time forward and this Is an opportunity which can be Improved with profit and without anv great cost." CONTROVERSY National Bank of Commerce, With Heavy Capitaliza tion, Will Take Over Com mercial Business of Ore gon Savings & Trust Co. Organisation of another strong na tional bank was effected In Portland yesterday, with the full capital stock and a surplus subscribed.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN BURN TO , ( . - ' 1 DEATHIN BOAT Excursion Steamer Catches Fire in Lake, Passengers Rather Than Meet Death in Flames Jump Overboard and- Drown Several Perish in the Fire, ' (PsbUshers rrsss by Special Leased Wire.) Ithaca. N. T July IT. At least nine persons war drowned and several. It la feared, perished In the Are which de stroyed the Cayuga lake steamboat Frontenao off Farley's Point today. A score of badly burned persona were taken from the biasing craft and brought here or sent to Auburn for treatment The bodlea of Ave women and two children were taken tonight from the lake. The following have been Identified: Miss Alalia McCreary. conoes. New Tork. Mrs. Homer Deung, Ohio. Carl Deung, son of Mrs. Deung. Three dead women and a. little girl remain unidentified. Among the badly burned are Mrs. Ab-sl of South Bloomlngton, New York; Ells. TutUe of Middle town. New Tork, and Charlotte Brtgham of Syracuse. The boat, plying between Ithaca and Cayuga, was in mid-lake when the Are was discovered. madly for sho Although It raoed the boat waa of. so re. flimsy construction that - the flames made frightful progress and many of those aboard referred drowning to death by fire, and leaped Into the water to swim to laoa. Captain M. P. Brown hurried bis charges to tha forward part of the boat aa far aa possible from the flames whe the alarm waa sounded. Ordering fu speed, and steering straight for Far- lev'a Point. Aa the lire gained head wa v end their rafuae errew smaller and smaller, tha passengers began plunging from the deck, despite the crews efforts a check the Tianlc. So little room remained for those who stuck by the craft that the clothes of many of the passengers were on nre when the landing waa reached and four women suffered burns which may prove fatal. . flnme of those aboard were exourslon lata hnnnii tar a.mna on the lake shore, but the majority were residents bound for a ball gams here. The fire started about an hour after the boat left Cayuga. . -li the state sunerlntendent. the countv su perlntendents and the teachers or the city and state do a better work than In seeing; that the facte of these rates are put before the different communities so . that they may become a part of every . letter that goes out of the state." Mr. Richardson said every community should Issue small circulars, giving the i acts or tneae colonist rates to tnat exact Station and a few statistics rela live to the country, and these circulars should be so light that they would not , add to the cost -of postage, and they ' ahould be put In every letter that goes uui oi ins stale. "These one-way rates bring- to thie state people who come to stay, said Mr. Richardson, "but they must buy their tickets' when they leave borne for the point they want to reach, and each and every city and town in the state must keep this one fact before their people all the time. Purine last March and , Apru nunareas or people came to port land who wanted to go to points on the coast and down through the different vaueys ana as rar away as Klamath Falls, who had bougn. their tickets for Portland when they left home, thinking that the extra cost of setting from this city to their point of destination would be trifling, and the result was that they either located somewhere else or returned disgruntled snd dissatisfied. "We make no headway by blaming the railroads, blaming Portland, or blaming anybody.

The Vatican, In de clining Russia s offer to use Its in fluence to get an Invitation for It from the powers to take part In the delibera tions of The Hague congress, has per formed a political act of extreme grav ity. In acting thus It has Itself solved what we call the papal question, -which Is nothing more nor less than tha ques tion whether the pope has not still rights over his ancient temporal sway. It Is evident by his reserved attitude Plus X has renounced his claims. Leo XIII, his predecessor In the pontifical chair, at the time of the first peace conference In 1899, still clung to this mirage and moved heaven and earth In the hope of having his pretended tem poral sovereignty taicen seriously and recognised by the powers. Pius X. who ia more mvstlral than the last pope, will not accept this little trick to heighten the orestlare of the apostolic see. He counts upon the pow er of the faith and the aid of heaven to save the church, which Is today trembling on ita foundations. I Thla new attitude has caused great I Indignation among the "Black" society at Rome, and the fact is that the papal I abstention at The Hague marks the end I of the attempt to regain the temporal I Independence of the see of Rome. As a human power, the church, I think, has said Its last word. Drops XKire XatolL After having been on the point of contracting a marriage of love, a prin cess of France Is now obliged to resign herself to a "marriage d convenience." I am speaking Of Princess Jeanne Bonaparte, daughter of Prince Roland. It is saia ana i nave every reason to believe the news IS correct Chat she is engaged to one of the sons of the king of Greece. when marrvlnr her this vounc crlnca Is doing an excellent thins for himself if, that Is to say, princes and kings can now without being ashamed of the fact. espouse the daughters of the plutocracy as formerly they wed shspherdeases. Princess Jeanne Bonaparte's mothor waa the daughter of M. Blanc the ten ant for over 10 rears of the gambling taoies or Monte cano. it waa in this trade that he heaped together his Im mense fortune, and thus his arrand- daughter, Princess Jeanne Bonaparte, la tne possessor oi several minions. She brings her husband indeed a "dot" of $6,000,000 a year, which for a Greek prince is more wealth than an Eldo rado. We have seen msny strange things In our time, but all the same we should have been astonished even 10 yjears ego if we had been told that a prince of the blood royal of the purest strain should without any scruples con tract a marriage with a family who wealth had been sot at the most cele brated and most evil-reputed gambling taoies in the world.

KING OF ALL CATFISH As "Old Joe" He Is Known to Fisher men and Pilots of Cumberland. Just how or when he received his cognomen no one seems to know, but Should you call the name "Old Jos" anywhere along the Cumberland river above Celine, Tennessee, your hearers will at onoe become attentive, . and usually the query, "Have you seen hlmr or "Who saw him laatr will greet your remark. "Old Joe" Is an Immense catfish, eight to nine feet long, and It is thought will weigh more than 200 pounds. He was first seen about 10 years ago In th Cumberland river where Marrow bone creek empties Into that classic stream in Cumberland county. Since that time hardly a week passes during the fishing season that snm on does not see this huge fish, writes a Glasgow correspondent of the Louisville Courier Journal, and always near where he was first seen. The furthest point that he has ever been known to roam was s mile. Many plans to capture or kill "Old Joe" have miscarried, and from the way he has eluded the vartous traps and snares set for him he must be wise as : well aa large. Fishermen anxious to possess "Old Joe's scalp have camped on the river for weeks, rsmained all day waiting for a chanos shot, placed poison In the river, dynamited all along for a mile, and' after becoming worn out would leave In disgust, only to learn from some one that "Old Joe'' had been aeen the day he broke camp float ing neat the surface of the water, evi dently enjoying; a sun bath. Aftsr "Old Joe's" habitation was es tablished steamboat men began to look for him and there are very few pilots on the upper Cumberland that have not aeen "Old Joe." If at any time a pilot spoke of having aeen a log or snag in that locality h waa promptly told K was "Old Joe." Recently a well-known pilot on the Cumberland liver had a good look tt the King or tn upper Cumberland, ana in speaking of his observations says: "Some time slnoe I had the pleasurs of seeing this enormous catfish. In length I suppose it would'measure close to sight feet, possibly more. I was In a position to get a good view of him while on duty in the pilot-house, being so hlsrh abovs the. water I could him clearly. Noticing a break in the water I thought it was a large snag. I had moved to th opposlts side of m wheel In order to steer around what thought to be a snag, when I saw what It was. I called to the clerk throv;h the trumpet to get his gun and get That big fish. I was getting close on him when the clerk appeared with his sun. and be oould only see the waves that the kins of the Cumberland made on bis descent to the deep. xia Joe s habita tion Is la the neighborhood or the mouth of Marrowbone creek. This fish, I sup pose, would weigh more than 20i unaa. ms tau seemea to De larger IS years of ags; counts, viscounts and barons of the empire, elected by their peers for a term of seven years; mem bers nominated for life by the emperor and, finally, 16 members eleoted by the taxpayers, and confirmed oy tne em peror in their power for seven years Electors SOO members of ths cham ber of representatives ars restricted to males at least 16 years of age and pav ing at least $16 a year in taxes.
