Colonist OREGON The management of the Oregon Rail road & Navigation Co. takes great pleasure in announcing that the low rates from Eastern cities, which have done so much in past seasons to stim ulate travel to and settlement in Ore gon," will prevail again this Spring DAILY from March 1 to April 15, inclusive. People of Oregon The railroads have done their part: now it's up to you. The colonist rate is the greatest of all home-builders. Do all you can to let Eastern people know about it, and encourage them to come here, where land is cheap and home-building easy and attractive. Fares Can Be Prepaid At home if desired. Any agent of the road is authorized to. receive the required deposit and telegraph ticket to any point in the East Remember the Rates From Chicago, $33; from St 'Louis, $32; from Omaha and Kansas City, $25. This reduction is proportionate from all other cities. WM, MCMURRAY General Passenger Agent Portland, Oregon ORGANIZE ALL OVER EASTERN OREGON ORGANIZED PUBLICITY EFFORT BIG INTEREST MANIFESTED EVERYWHERE. Portland, March 22. Eastern Ore gon cities are tremendously In earn est in perfecting their commercial organizations. During the past week, under the joint auspices of the Oregon Development league and local bodies meetings were held at Baker City, La Grande, Pendleton, and The Dalles, and each was ad dressed by Tom Richardson, secre-, tary of fcthe Oregon -Development League. The gatherings rere extra ordinary in attendance and Interest. Baker City had the largest at tendance ever gathered at a pro gressive meeting. The leading cit izens, after a conference, determined to raise a large sum of money and advertise Baker City thoroughly. At La Grande a newly built re vival tabernacle was turned over to the business men and a great meet ing resulted. Almost every town and community in Umatilla county was represented at the Pendleton meeting and there is a determination tc make a great canvass of that section and to take advantage of the state law providing for a special tax for advertising the county. At the meeting at The Dalles, every seat In the hall was occupied and stand ing room was at a premium. Many prominent mem .were out who had never before attended a meeting of this character. These meetings show that Eastern Oregon is earnestly at work to get all the benefits- of intelligent pub licity and the value of this organ ized effort will appear as time passes. A. L. Mills, president of Port land's biggest ba:;k, evidently knows what he is talking about when he sayg the Pacific Northwest is the most prosperous section of the Uni ted States. He says capital of the country is easy and It is coming this way for investment in large quanti ties. Prospects for this year are the best, he says, the Northwest has ever known. He naturally at tributes a very large part of the Rates and the Great Northwest activity at d hue le hereabout to the large mo unt of railroad building now under way. This work, he says, is showing- the confidence the lead ers in the financial world have in this section, and it naturally breeds confidence in others. John F. Stevens, president of the Oregon Trunk railwav. now under construction up the Deschutes to Central Oregon, say 6000 men are at work on, the 109 miles now under construction and the whole thing is being pushed' with the utmost possible energy. The present plan is to build south . only as far as Bend, although maps have been filed from Bend south" to the Klamath Indian Reserva.ton. Despite heavy weather of the past winter, inquiry iato crop and stock conditions show that losses have not been eo general as was feared. Some stock was lost on the range but the percentage is not large. Piospects in the extensive grain dis tricts of Eastern Oregon are re ported to be excellent for a bumper crop. Grain prospects In the Wil lamette Valley are said to be some what less satisfactory. Because of the unusually heavy snowfall in the mountains during the past winter, mere will be plenty of water for irrigation purpose this year.

By Professor William James, De partment of Philosophy, Harvard University. Truth must run through the clas sic stages of a theory's career. First, you know, a new theory is at tacked as absurd; then it is ad mitted to be true, but obvious and inslgnlflcent; finally ft is seen to be fllllU so important that its adversaries claim that they themselves dis covered It. Osteopathy has already passed through each of these phases. Osteopathy is a simple method, too, based upon rational theories which have been thoroughly proven in practice. Primarily It is founded upon tthe great principle, now acknowledged by every school of medical practice, that the bodv forces themselves really perform the cures, no matter what the system of treatment. Admitting this one great truth. it becomes manifest that the very most anv healine method can accom plish Is to assist nature; and, far In advance of the old systems which rely chiefly upon drugs. Osteopathy renders this aid to the body in a most skillful and masterful manner and gets results. Right Way. Ladies Auxiliary Meeting.
