ADS WILL BE READ BY
Within, the next week advertisements
will appear for the Oregon Development
league In all leading agricultural. Jour
nals of the east and middle west, ag
gregating a - weekly circulation among
20,000,000 readers. These advertise
ments are written with a view of at
tracting the attention of the eastern
homeseeker and securing his presence
In Oregon. The lea-rue Is following out
a special line of effort to stimulate the
coming spring immigration movement
on colonist rates granted by the trans
continental railroads.
A-valuable advertisement of Oregon
and the whole Pacific northwest will
appear In the next edition of the Tarr
physical geography. Professor R. 8.
Tarr, who occupies the chair of physi
cal geography in Cornell university, has
recently written several letters to the
Portland Commercial club, first asking
for. facta and Illustrations . regarding
the development of this region, and later
writing tot more aetauea information
and. additional- pioturea. ... Ue has - feeea
supplied liberally, including photographs
of Portland harbor and of the city of
Portland, with Mount Hood in the dis
tance. He made special request for
the two pictures named.
In a letter Professor Tarr said the
next geographies would necessarily
have to be greatly revised so far as they
concern tho Pacific northwest. He said
developments in this part of the globe
are bringing about great changes in the
world s commercial movements, ana
that the geographies must recognize
these ohanges. -

Against Mail Delivery.
Residents of Wasco county tributary

postal authorities holding mall for Du-
fur. Waplnltla and Tygh valley points
in The Dalles until 6 o'clock In the af

For soma reason, which the postal au
thorities have' not explained to the
satisfaction of the Wasco people, the
old system of delivering mall by tsage,
ao that the Tyah Valley residents se
cured mall the day after It was sent
from Portland, was riven up end In
stead It is allowed to wait In The Dalles
all day long, and usually lies In Dufur

When the Great Southern was com
pleted the government awarded the con
tract lor carrying the mall to tho rail'
road and It was arranged that the trains
should not leave The Dalles until 6

wers very emohaUc in their statement
that the councilmen were on the wrong
track in trying to find the existence of
trust among the furniture men of Port
land.
Mr. Beharrell criticised the council
man for giving mo much notoriety to the
proceedings, saying that Its only purpose
so far had been to tnlure the furniture

iiKaiiun. rar. uhubut went a iiuw
further and said that since the dissolu
tion of the various furniture associa
tions following - -the investigation by
the federal government, the furniture
business has been practically ruined.
The only point made today was wnen
Mr. Gadsby was questioned as to a
statement made previously by Mr. Be
harrell to the effect that he refuses to
sell to Independent Furniture company
because he would lose Mr. Gadsby s
trade.- Mr.' Gadsby said that he had not
made such a statement and added that
be would not withdraw his patronage
from Mr. Beharrell, who is manager of
Hsywooa i.irotnsrs &. . waxaxiabi -aom.-pany.
if he sold to the Independent com
pany.
Both Gadsby and Beharrelll stated
that If thav wished to refuae tn sell to
any man that it was their personal right
to ao so, ana tola tne committeemen
that they would do so. They claimed
they have the right to refuse to buy or
sen any person or rirm and said they
did not think the city or anybody else
could tell them they could not so Ions
as tney aid not comDine to restrict sales
or fix prices, which they claimed they
were not engaged lp doing.
After hearing the testimony of the
witnesses the committee adjourned-to
meet Monday morning at 10 o'clock,
when other furniture men will be called

holds that the question of releasing

on a change of venue, but according to
Judge Snell that does not hold now.
