The most dangerous man to a business
community is the one whe has no confi
dence in his own integrity or that of his
neighbor, says an exchange. His power
ior evil is in proportion to his influence.
Fortunately, the people Boon "catch on"
to such a man and his influence is next to
nothing. The people soon learn to know
that his lack of confidence in his fellow
man is but the reflection of a lack of in
tegrity in himself. Such a man, if op
portunity offered, would be just as dis
honest as he thinks his neighbor is. Be
ware of the man who thinks every other
maa is a scoundrel.

The Albany lodge of Elks, according to

While a Chinese Elk is a rather strange

Elks went te Salem to attend the special
initiation, that such a thing as a Chinese
Elk, actually does exist. In the party of
Elks, as identified te the S. P, Conductor

When pointed oat by Mr. Dawson at

. Two hundred and thirty new people
found homes in Oregon every day from,
(September 1st to October 31st as a result
of the colonial one-way tickets, and
through the help of the newspapers, the
population and wealth of the State has
been enormously increased. Tbe txact
number of tickets sold as reported by
William McMurray, General Passenger
Agent of tbe Harriman Lines, for 1907,
waa 13,753. or the same time in 190u
it was an increase of 48S3 or about
sixty per cent being made. This of
course does not include tickets sold to
Oregon over the Canadian Pacific, North
era Pacific, Great Northern, or any other
roads hose tickets came around by way
of Pnget Sound. The Oregon Develop
ment League has made the colonist rates
the chief feature of its work. The Port
land Commercial Club circulated 400,000
leaflets with this low rate its central
leature, and pre bably no advertising ever
done by any State in the Union has
shown better results. The rates will be
on again during March and April, 1903.
