Trying N ew Scheme A new sceme has been hit upon by the Oregon Infonmtion Bureau, Union Depot, for advertising Ore gon. Instead of the glowing de scriptive pamphlets they aro lodging the immigruts and visitors with the monthly bulletin of statistics issued by the Weathor Bureau. The effect is very gratifying to those in charge of the work nnd the recretnry says it is ono of the beet means of inducing prospective settlers to locate in Oregon that they have yet hit upon, as the visi tors cannot but bo favorably im pressed with the climate whou com pared with that of their own locality. The comparison is placed before them in comprehensive form by the monthly bulletin.—Telegram. The Firemen’s Ball on Saturday night, the 12th inst., was well at tended and the fire laddies made the room look very bright with their rod shirts with M. P. F. D „ em broidered on the front.
