Court street, opposite the Golden Rule Hotel Few Foreigners Coming to Oregon the Great Number of Homeseekers Americans Should Know More of, Their Native Land and Can Develop It Faster. , "The homeseekers who arc landing every day In the city of Portland and who arc being distributed throughout Oregon by the railroad comnanics now operating under the reducer-rate agreement, are about 99 per cent na tive Americans and all desirable citi zens," says A. L. Craig, of the O R. &. N., to the Oregon Daily .Tournnl. "During the year 1901 there were hut 528 foreigners who landed at Castle Garden en route for Oregon," said Mr. Craig, "and of this number 500 were over 12 years of age. When it is taken into consideration that the total immigration for that year through the port of New York was 412,416 persons. It will be readily un derstood that Oregon's percentage of the foreigners coming into America is indeed a small one. "During 1902 the number landing at New York and heading for Oregon was 959, and of these 888 were more than 12 years of age. The total for eign importation of human beings at New York for that year was 551,569." Mr. Craig then went on to show that the immigration into Oregon had been numbered high among the thous ands and that, as the above figures show it was not the foreigner who came, those who did come must have been American people. Americans Are Best. "I made the statement to The Jour nal some time ago," said Mr. Craig, "that by far the largest majority of those coming West are just the kind of people this country most needs. The figures I am now able to give prove my former statement to have been correct. "I do not mean by this that the foreigner would not make a good citi zen nor that foreigners are not good people in many ways. That is far from the fact. Foreigners in a great deal more cases than not develop into thrifty, painstaking and thoroughly reliable and trustworthy Americans. But they .ire not. of the class that tends to at once develop the latent resources of the Northwest It will at once be seen that the American can quickest grasp the necessities of this Western country. It Is the Amer ican who can make his wants known, it is the American who knows what he wants before he tries to ask for it, and It is the American who, while he may not have any greater amount of energy than his foreign rival, knows better how to apply that energy In order to make It count. This is noth ing against the foreigner for why should not the American know more about his own country?" VACCINATION AND DANDRUFF. There is as Sure Prevention for Bald ness as There is f Smallpox. It is now accepted that vaccination renders the vaccinated person exempt from smallpox; or at worst, he never has anything but the lightest kind of a case. Now as sure a preventive and cure for dandruff, which causes falling hair and baldness, has been discovered Newbro's Herpicide. It kills the dandruff germ. C. H. Reed, Victor, Idaho, says: "Myself and wife have been troubled with dandruff and falling hair for several years. We tried remedies without effect until we used Newbro's Herpicide. two bot tles of which cured us." Hundreds of similar testimonials. Sold by F. W. Schmidt & Co.

Had Heard of It Congressman Champ Clark, of Mis souri, has a very bright and preco cious son named Bennett, who is about 12 years of age. The boy, like many other sons of members of the house, is apt to be on the floor when it is announced that his father will speak. One day Champ Clark made a set speech, and it was quite a credi tahln effort, wlnninir for him nraise from both sides of the house. But Bennett wasn't there that day. Tho next time he showed up he was asKeu in exnlain hiB absence. "Oh. pshaw." replied the lad. "I heard that speech no less than three times when mam ma, was tparhinir It. to him at home. What did T want to hear it aeain for?" All of which goes to show that states men will occasionally rehearse at home. Washington Leuer. DRIED FROITS 25 pounds of fancy dried prunes only $1.00.
