OKI.OO DEVELOPMENT LGAUUE
Portland, August 2, 3-One Fare
for Round Trip.
Portland, July 25. That the
Oregon Development League Con
vention, to be held at the Mar-
quam Grand Theatre, in Portland,
under the auspices of the Port
land Commercial Club, August 2,
and 3, will be a magnificent suc
cess is now assured. It is desired
that all delegates who can do en
will be at the Marquam Grand by
9:30 so as to register and receive
badges, as it is especially desired
that the convention be called to
order not later than 10 o'clock and
get down to work immediately for
complete and effective organiza
tion. There will be but few set
speeches and these will be deliv
ered by practical men in the dif
ferent industries, and after each
address delegates to the conven
tion will be given an opportunity
to ask the speakers such questions
as they desire and to comment
upon the facts presented. It has
been suggested that it would add
greatly to the effectiveness of the
work if the delegates from differ
ent communities will perfect an
'organization of their delegation
before leaving home.
If each and everv delegation
will prepare condensed reports of
actual production, giving Dot only
the actual results accomplished by
growers and producers but the
name of that grower or producer,
in the same plain, direct language
that an Oregon farmer would use
in writing to an old friend in one
of the distant states, then we will
have matter tor the use of the
newspapers and the immigration
departments of the railroads that
will secure results. These reports
should be written in duplicate, not
only for the use of the Portland
papers, but to insure a complete
report of the proceedings. If the
convention can take the form of
an experience meeting, in which
long speeches are left unsaid, and
bright, pithy, striking points are
made, it will insure not only the
permanency of the Oregon Devel
opment League, but will be of
benefit to every section of this
state.
A round trip open rate, good for
everybody, has been put on by the
railroads, and tickets are good on
all trains arriving in Portland on
the afternoon of August 1 and
morning of August 2, good to re
turn until August 4, except that
fares of 50 cents or less will not
be reduced. It is advisable that
those attending the convention
should get definite particulars
from their local agent aa to tbe
time of the departure of trains.
Residents of Oregon who take
advantage of this rate and are not
delegates to the convention, will
be welcome to attend the conven
tion, occupying seats in the bal-
cony and gallery. The seats in
tha parquet will be used exclu
sively for delegates. Desiring to
keep a record of this convention,
not only in type but in illustrated
form for general circulation, a
snap-shot photograph will be made
exactly at eleven o'clock Tuesday
morning, August 2. The taking
of this picture will occupy a
minute or two of the convention's
time.
A committee from the Woman's
Club of Portland will have charge
of a trolley ride to be given to the
wives, daughters, sisters and other
ladies accompanying delegates to
the convention, for which four
large cars have been supplied with
the compliments of the Oregon
Water Power and Railroad Com
pany, luis special train of trol
ley cars will leave the corner of
First and Alder streets exactly at
3 p. m., August 2, for a trip to
Oanamah Park, beyond Oregon
City.
Delegates to the convention and
ladies accompanying them are cor
dially invited to attend a recep
tion as the guests of the Com
mercial Club Tuesday evening
from eight to eleven o'clock, and
during both days of the conven
tion, the rooms and especially the
tower of the Commercial Club,
will be open for the use of visitors
and delegates. All those who
have never had the pleasure of a
birds-eye view of Portland should
improve this opportunity.
The convention will adjourn in
ample time to give all the dele
gates and the ladies accompanying
them an opportunity to enjoy a
trolley ride over the city, in which
ten open cars will be used, jointly
supplied with the compliments of
the City & Suburban Railway Co
and the Portland Railway Co,
These cars will start from Third
and Yamhill streets Wednesday
afternoon, promptly at 3 o'clock
and two citizens of Portland wil
be upon each car to point ou
places of especial interest.

THE MAYtXOWEK GftOUP.
Arrangement are I!eiug Made to
Patent This Property.
Dan Stalter, the discoverer of the
Mayfliwer mine in the Greenhorn
mountains, arrived in Canyon City
Wednesday. He c-ime over to take the
preliminary steps toward securing a
government patent for his quartz prop
erties.
The Mayflower quartz property was
discovered and located by Mr. Stalter
several years ago while working with
sheep in the mountains. The group is
located on the 6outh slope of the Green
born range between what is known as
the east fork of Big Boulder creek and
Beaver creek. The property was sold
to the Heppner Mining Co., and with
Mr. Stalter the entire stock of the com
pany is owned by Morrow county peo
ple. Tnis group is composed of ten claims,
on which they bave five distinct ledges,
which average from six to forty feet in
width and all bave ore that assays well,
a I as far as developed, containing free
milling ore except one claim. On the
ten claims Mr. Stalter's company has
over KM) feet of tunnel and 200 feet of
shaft. They are now working in their
longest tunnel which is in at a depth of
409 feet, and expect to continue work
until the tunnel on that property is
completed to a depth of 800 feet. They
have between 200 and 300 tons of free
milting ore on the dump at the present
time, and with the vast amount of like
ore in sight on their group, makes Mr.
Stalter confident as to its future. They
will erect a five stamp mill next season
and from all assays they have had on
their ore, their property is destined to
become an important producer in the
near future. Long Creek Eagle.
A Retraction-.
Ladies' Home Journal for June.
In the Mav number of the Ladies'
Dome Journal we published, in the ar
tide entitled "The Patent Medicine
Curse," an analysis of "Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription," in which that
preparation was represented as contain
ing, among other ingredients, tincture
of digitalis, tincture of opium and alco
hol. I mmediately on publication of
the number a suit for damages was in
stituted by the R. V. Pierce Medical
Co., of Buffalo, N. Y.. proprietors of the
preparation in question, against the
Curtis Publishing Company, based
upon the claim that none of the three
ingredients were contained in the med
icine :
Upon the filing of the eui
we, of course, immediately looked irto
the published analysis. It appears that
this particular analysis had been made,
if made at all, fully twenty-five years
ago. We thereupon employed three
leading chemists in different cities to
make an analysis of the preparation
from bottles bought in the open marktt
These analyses, one and all, now show
to us conclusively that not a single one
of the ingredients mentioned by us in
the analysis quoted that is, either digi
talis, opium or alcohol was contained
in tie bottles analyzed. We then, the
president of this company and the writ
er, personally visited the R.Y.Pierce
Medical Company, at Buffalo, and were
there convinced that the officers c f the
company were absolutely truthful in
their claim that not one of these injuri
ous ingredients wr.s contained in "Dr.
Merce's Favorite Prescription." Na
turally, since the analysis we printed
has been proven erroneous, the deduc
tions made in connection with this pre
paration were unwarranted and un
founded. Under these circumstances it is now
perfectly plain to us that this magazine
waa unintentionally, but nevertheless
abnoluielv mi-led in making the origi
nal statement, nd we hereby, of our
own volition, make this unqualified ac
knowledgment ..f our mint-ike to the R.
V. Pierce Medical Company and to on
readers.
The mistake was honestly made, but
it was a mistake.

SEXATOIC JI1TCIIKLI, IIO.T1K.
EJon. John H. Mitchell, senior Sena
tor from Orreon in the National Con
gress, has arrived in Portland, much
wearied from his legislative duties and
pleased of the opportunity to secme a
rest. He will remain during the sum
mer. According to an interview had
with the Senator, published in the Port
land Telegram, he has not the slightest
doubt of the re election of President
Roosevelt, this fall, and thinks that the-
only state Parker stands a shovr
of carrying, if any at all, will be Nev
York, and there are grave doubts of his
ability to carry that. When asked as to
the outcome of the election Senator
1 n 1 ,.t- , . . ,
Mitchell said : "Everybody in the East
feels confident of President Roosevelt'
election. I believe that he will bo elect
ed by a greater popular and electoral ma
jority than was the late President Mc
Kinley." He intends stumping the
state in the interest of President Roose
velt's candidacy. In regard to irriga
tion in Oregon, he said :
"Yes, the Government is goiDg to do
a great deal for irrigation in Oregon.
The greatest difficulty thus far encoun
tered has been that of conflict with
private irrigation schemes. Delay has
been occasioned through the occupancy
of rights 6t way by private companies
and the adjustment of these differences
has served to retard progress of thp
Government's work. The Depertment
of the interior has set aside $300,000 for
carrying on irrigation work in Oregon,
and I believe the enterprise will bf
pushed. This will in the end be of very
material assistance to the state by way
of developing its latent resource
through the reclamation of new ami
tracts, and will lend a special impetus
to encouraging Westward immigration.'
Irrigation in the vicinity of Kenno
wick. Wash., has increased the value of
land from $15 and $25 per . acre to $50O
per acre, and the returns received by
the farmers are sufficient to warrant the
prices now paid. Similar results are in
sight for the land around Pasco, for
years regarded as one of the most
worthless portions of the entire Pacific
Northwest. One advantage accruing
from the cultivation of these irrigated
lands is that the fanners cannot grow
wheat at a profit on $500 per acre land.
This results in more "inters" farming,
and, instead of one family on a thous
and acres, as is frequently the case with
wheat farmers, there will bo ten fami
lies on a 100-acre tract, and all of them
will be making'somtthing more than a
living. If all of the land susceptible to
cultivation in Oregon and Washington
were farmed as carefully and to such
good advantage as is the case with the
irrig'.ted districts, the population wouM
run into millions. Oregonian,
Pendleton Tribune : The tfrat periov:?
grain fire of the year occurred Saturday
on the farm of Lowell Rogers, about
one and a half miles from Adams, de
stroying 500 sacks of wheat, three wag
ons, including the cook wagon, a hay
stack consisting of several hundred
tonp, and burning a horse so badly that
it died in a few minutes. The loss i.
estimated at neatly -!0u0. Tbe lire
was caused by the two little daughter
of the woman engaged by Mr. PvOgert
to cook for his crew during t lie harvest
season.
About a month aso the Great South
ern Railway Company made a proposi
tion to The Dalles that if a certain
amount of money be subscribed by the
citizens of The Dalles for a right of way
through land belonging to Seufert frroa,
and P. F. Laughlin, that the terminus
would be located at The Dalles. The
amount necessary to consummate the
transaction was $G,500, which hus been
subscribed. The road will be in opera
tion on or before Aug. 1, 1800.
