Lewis and Clark Fair will Bring Thousands. Charles J. Gray, representing the Northwestern railway, who was in Heppner yesterday, eajs that his oom pany is getting right in line and will do much for the fair and Oregon and the northwest in general. "The Northwestern has 9200 miles of road, oo ering territory in Iowa, the copper district of MJchigar, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraeka and South Dakota and as the territory that we oover is so muoh more densely populated than this country yon can see that we are in a position to reaoh a great many people with the advertising matter that we are to put out which we hope will be ef- feotive," said Mr. Gray.

"I think that the people who come for sight seeing only will be a small part of the visitors to the northwest this year, as the rates which are the best which have ever bsen male to the Pacific northwest will be looked upon as a business proposition," said Mr. Gray. "It ought to be pounded into the peo ple of every cummunity in this country the neoessity of using more personal it- fluenoe among Eastern people. In every community there area number of people who have friends and relatives in the East who could b9 reached in a more tffeotive manner by personal letters than any other way. The North western would be glad to furnish in formation and place names on their im mense mailing list if the people will write to them." he was arrested, charged with viola tion of the local ojitioi law.
