In a' letter requesting the address
of his paper be changed temporarily
to 1a Grande, M. L. Harris says he
saw alfalfa being cut and raked in
the Grande Ronde valley when he
went out the first of last week, and
that some wheat fields looked well
with wheat nicely headed out, but
much of the grain looked late and
backward.
Mr, Harris says the Adams show
that was here a week ago Saturday,
lost one of its snakes In this town,
while the Wild West show lost a
bob cat at Union, One of the shows
has a small elephant left and the
other a smaller coyote so they con
tinue in business, but Mr. Harris
opines if some enterprising fellow
would catch what the two shows lost,
and get him a second hand tent, he
iwould have the best show of the three
Mr, Harris is taking treatment for
rheumatlsm at La Grande, He says
L. Coueh's Htte daughter Is. recover-

SATURDAY EVENING POST TELLS
FIVE MILLION PEOPLE ABOUT
BEST STATE.
PorUand, June 29. "Oregon is
the place for you", has been the
slogan brought to the attention of
uiuu5u io vne attention or
5,000,000 people of the country through
a big advertisement in the Ratnr.
Dig advertisement in the Satur
day Evening Post, placed by the Port
land Commercial club, and the same
message has been sent to 1,000,000
more through other publications.
Reasons why Oregon is the state of
opportunity have been presented.
The 92 . commercial bodies of the
state having membership in the Ore
gon Development league have been
given an opportunity without cost to
them to answer immediately thous
ands of new inquiries about Oregon
Never before has Oregon been so
well known and interest in the state
so generally aroused. All that is need
ed to get the best results is for the
commercial bodies to take advantage
of the opportunity and make these
home-seekers familiar with their sec,
tions by sanding them literature and
answering Inquiries.
(This is the largest and costliest
adv. ever placed at one time by a
western commercial club and will
elicit thousands upon thousands of
replies from real homeseekers, set
tlenj. and Investors. These names
will be sent to all the commercial
clubs of the state, including Enter-
prise, but will do us no good as
there is not a line or scrap of litera-
ture extant about this city and the
gmt resources of this county all
directly qr indirectly tributary to
thla city, There Is no fund to pay
the postage on the literature even
if we had the literature. There 1

no money to pay the clerk hire neces
sary to mail the literature if we had
it and someone would donate the
stamps.
. By far the hardest and costliest
Part of advertising is furnishing
the medium. This is done gratis for
p" t0W"a 0t the 8Ute by
I rortiand, and some towns can't even
take advantage of it because of neg
lect to furnish the descriptive mat
ter. This Is plain speaking and
maybe unwelcome but it is the truth
and should be known.)
