To the busi ness men and property holders jof Porj. land In May, 1(04, tha Portland Com mercial, club introduced a publicity de partment, and the supervision of this work was assumed by an executive com mittee of nine members, of which I was made chairman. .

Fleischner. - "The members of ths committee at a recnt meeting decided to continue their work during 109, and several of them announced - that they would double the amount of their subscriptions. For Instance, the Portland Railway. Light & Power" company voluntarily increased their subscription rrom . iioo to izuv per month last year; for 1909, the First National bank, which bad been sub scribing $100 a month, made theirs 1200 monthly; the United States Na tional bank. . which had paid 150 a month.

"Today there are 8 regularly organ ised commercial bodies doing active work, and li men outside of Portland regularly employed in as many differ ent towns of Oregon to devote their ex clusive time to the advertisement of their communities. It is - universally conceded that there is a better charac ter of literature, and mote of It, going out from this state than from any other In the union. "The year 1108 will witness a large travel in this direction.

Clarence narrow, at torney for Christian Rudowltz, the Rus sian revolutionist ordered to Washing ton preparatory to surrendering him to the Russian government, made pub lic the contents of the report of the csar's agents concerning, revolutionary movements throughout Russia during 1908. The report epitomised is as fol lows: The military court of Tekatonoslav pronounced sentence of death upon 2102 persons, who were shot and hanged. The number sent to Siberia and Sakha lien penal colonies for life was 17,247. Shorter sentences were given 26,000. Twelve strikers were condemned to! be shot for having participated in the rail road strike in 1905. Forty-eight others were sent to the mines fojr long terms. The increasing severity of the gov ernment in dealing with revolutionists ts shown by the monthly list of execu tions. In -February there were 27 per sons shot by sentence. The number gradually increased until jt was 183 in September, 201 In October,"v298 in November and 227 in December. The fourth douma is showing si ens or insurrection, and drastic measures against some of its members may be come necessary-- Resistance to the im perial will is no longer confined to ihe Socialists but has spread to the Octo berists. who are rapidly becoming dis affected. Other radicals throughout the empire are agitating rebellion, and methods of suppression may .again be necessary to quiet the disorderly ele ments. . Attorney Darrow is Informed ' from lother sources. that-the Social Demo- active in tne Lettish provinces and that the extradition, return and exe cution of all Lettish fugitives Is eagerly sought by the csar. The seal of the government Is Increased by the actlvltyof the Social Democrats in the douma. They demand an Investigation into the methods of the Imperial po lice in Its treatment and summary exe cution by court martial of political of fenders and students who are mere philosophical revolutionists. .
