' "- WAT, KSCMURfiAY 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 lh, 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 Bakeir City, La Grande, Pendleton, and The. Dalles, and each was ad dressed by Tom Richardson, secre tary of the Oregom Development League. The gatherings ,were 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 eum 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 waa represented at the Pendleton mestdng and there Is a determination to make a great canvass of that section and to take advantage of the slate' 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 & premium. IMaay prominent men ,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 bank,- evidently knows what he is talking about when he says the Pacific Northwest la the most prosperous section of the Uni ted States. He says capital of the country is easy and ltis coming this way for Investment in large quanti ties. Prospects for this year are the best, he says, the Northwest baa, ever kno,wn. He naturally at tributes a very large part of the Rates and the Great Northwest actlvity and hue le hereabout to th large - amount '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; commence in otners. . . , John F. Stevens, president of the Oregon Trunk railway, now under construction up the Deschutes to Central Oregon, says 6000 men, are at work on the 109 mllee 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 Reservation.' Despite heavy weather of the past winter, inquiry into croD and stock conditions show that losses have not , been so general as was feared. Some stock was lost on the range but the percentage la 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 ln thev mountains during the Dast winter., there will be plenty of water for irrigation purposes, this, year. , McCOY BUYS 8TUBBLEFIELD PLACE ON THE IMNAHA The James Stubblefield place of 160'acres on lower Imnaha has been bought by J.

By Professor Williami 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 la ad mitted to be true, but obvious and lnslgnlflcent; finally It fat seen to be IIII1U 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 1 every school of medical practice, that the body 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 any healing method can accom plish te 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.
