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. ,

THE COURSE OF TRUTH.
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.
