axe now hopeful that better results!
may be secured. I
It Is now desired to have Individ
ual subscribe personally to the fund
between now and May 7, the date up
on which the real estate men of the
county are to gather here.
In order to once more lay the sub
ject before the property owners of
the city, D. B. Costuma. Pendleton
manager for the Columbia Land
company, has addressed the follow
ing letter to nearly 100 of the city's
leading property owners:
Pendleton, May 1, 1908. Dear Sir:
The real estate men of Umatilla
county will hold a meeting at the
Commercial club on Thursday even
ing. May 7, at 9 p. m., for the pur
pose of discussing
planning an active
and definitely
publicity cam-
palgn In behalf of the city of Pen
dlton and Umatilla county,
It Is needless to et forth the ad
vantages that Umatilla county
nog.
aesxes for homeseekera. aa we all 11 "M Decn DOPa V Popie or
know too well that with proper at- ' ""mlston to have the secretary pres
tentlon. we are destined to be the ent at the t,me of tne opening of the
richest county in
the state Of Ore-
-jron.
While other cities In our state have
been bending every effort to adver
tise to the public of the United States
their resources and possibilities, we
have been practically sitting supinely
by, doing nothing, notwithstanding
the fact that we can boast of greater
possibilities than any city In Oregon.
The time Is ripe for decisive action
and - aa the real estate men of this
county are spending their time and
tbelr money, It cannot be considered
fn any other light than an Injustice
that we do not receive the financial
'Support of the property owners of
thla community.
There are no considerations, po
litical, .economic or otherwise that
should In any sense act as an excuse
or tend to retard the progress of our
city, and as the advancement of the
real estate value depends entirely on
the development and colonization of
our uncultivated lands, you owe It to
yourself and to. the community In
general to aid In this movement.
The business men are only too will
ing to help In this publicity campaign,
but aa you are property holders are
the greatest gainers, it Is not fair to
expect either 'the business men or the
real estate men to bear the entire
(burden. i
Aa has been set forth, the fund
collected Is to be spent by the Com
mercial association under their ab
solute and strict orders, and not one
dollar Is to be spent for any purpose
other than for the benefits of the cty
of Pendleton and -the towns adjacent
thereto.
It Is to bo sincerely hoped that you
will forward to Mr. R. R. Wilcox, be
fore Thursday, May 7, your month
ly Mibscrlptlon for whatever sum you
can afford, so that when the real es
tate men have gathered, they may
feel assured, by the showing you will
have made that the motive for pub
licity la sincere above all other con
siderations. D. B. COSTUMA.

Bitter Invective
Delivers
Against
"Subsidized Press."
ADMITS THERE ARE FEW
HONEST NEWSPAPERS.

Worst and Call Tliem Imp of Pelf
ami Greed -Six-cdi Fncqiialed for
UltfcrncH and Fury of Utterance in
Hull of the Senate.
' "Washington, May 1. United States
Senator Jeff Davis lashed the "syn-dlcate'-'
and the "subsidized 'press of
this country today In a speech, which
for bitterness of Its invective and the
fury of its utterance has had no
equals within the dignified walls of
the senate since Senator Tillman laid
aside his five pronged fork.
Davis admitted that there were
some honest newspapers In the coun
try, but declared that those Journals
that criticized his remarks last De
cember were subsidized by the trusts.
Swinging his long arms wildly above
his head, and raising his voice almost
to a scream, he defied the correspon
dents In the press gallery to do their
forst.
Turning to his colleagues about him
he solemnly warned them that In the
country they were regarded as the
defenders of predatory wealth and he
urged them to purge themselves of
the odium of this opinion by "doing
something for the people."
He declared that the trusts influ
enced the senate In an Indirect man
ner, but that the men who made up its
membership were possessed of the
same weakness as other men.
Closing, he said: "I challenge the
subsidized press to do their worst
with me.
"Oo, damnable Imps of pelf and
greed. I defy your taunts. Tear to
fragments my political career If It' Is
comport with your
execrable will.
Stifle, distort my utterance, If such
be your hrutal frenzy. Lash my poor
form Into Insensibility, howl In
wretched beastlallty as my Innocent
blood drips from your fiendish visa
ges. Drag what remains upon the al
tar of Baal or scatter It to the crows
of the field. I care not."
