EFFECTIVE BREVITY.
The last word has not been
spoken regarding the benefits and
advantages of the protection policy.
Representative Campbell, of Kan
sas, proved that something new and
strong In the way ol condensed fact
might be said when, in his recent
speech, he declared:
The policy of protection has pre
served the American market for
the products of American manu
factures, and American manufac
tures have made markets for the
products of American farmers, and
together they have established the
high standard of living and made
possible a high scale of American
wages.

To the Republicans of Lane

Whereas, the results of the elec

ing influence on our national affairs,
nud especially on the nomination
iitul election of that peerless Ameri
can, Theodore Roosevelt; nud
Whereas, the republicans ol Lane
comity do not know thsir full
strength, nor fully realize that the
republican majority has been gradu
ally itictcisiug during the lust
eight years, being almost nominal
in i8yG, 100 it: 1900, 1902, and that
this year there is a safe majority of
H50, which can, by individual nud
nctive work on the part of loyal re
publicans lie increased to 1000; nud
Whereas, in the past, and owing
to the republican majority, our op
ponents, the democrats, have sacri
ficed almost nil their candidates In
truding them off for republican
votes, thereby electing n chosen

Resolved, by the advisory board
of the republican county central
committee, assembled this nth day
ol May, 1904;
Thnt we pledge ourselves, and
do most earnestly ask, that each
nud every republican of Lane
county do nit in his power, and to
work most strenuously from now
until after election, for a most fitting
endorsement and the success of that
peerless American, Theodore Roose
velt, and the entire republican ticket,
state and county.
The eyes ot the East, South, nud
West nrc upon us. We fire the
first gun of the presidential cam
paign. The result of our election
will have great Influence upon the
presidential contest this fall. Our
voice will be heard throughout the
United States and our verdict is
being waited for with the greatest
concern on both sides. If we are
weak in our indorsement of Roose
velt, his enemies will Ik comforted,
ami we will discourage our ftieuds
in the Hast, North and South. Ore

state. The trusts and plutocrats of
the Easture making every effort to
defeat our favorite. Therefore let
us bestir ourselves in such a man
ner that after the votes are counted
in June we can wire to the grand
American, Theodore Roosevelt,
that Oregon has given him a ma
jority of 20,000, and that Lane
county has given 1000 and elected the
entire rcpubllcen ticket, for the first
time In years, a most fittug endorse
ment, indeed.

each and every repub.icnn feel that
the success of his ticket will be his

need to trade votes to elect any man
Do not trade.
The result ofthe coming election
will be far reaching. Upon it -depend
the prosperity of our nation,
the welfare of our stnte, the future
growth of Lane county and not last
nor least, by any means, the price
of your day's labor and the value of
your farms.
Once itgnin, let the watchword of
the campaign be:

HonitMiA Nugoht: After a long
and continued silence which I pre'

who have noticed it, I lmvc con
cluded to again transcribe a few

I am nt present temporarily lo

regular passenger trains into the
city every day and on special days
special trains will be run
The strawberry season is opening
here and already we are feastieg on
strawberry short cake, strawberries
and cream, in fact strawberries in
any style desired.
This is a great strawberry dis
trict; it will require more than
8000 hands to pick the strawberries
raised within a radius of 12 miles of
this place and there will be about
five hundred cars of berries shipped
to points Bast and West.
This strawberry district has but
one rival, the Hood River of Ore
gon. The Hood River district
ships a great many berries east
into Montana, Colorado, Nebraska
and other Basteru points while the
Southwest Missouri district ships
as far west as Salt Lake, Boise City,
Denver and other Wsstern points,
however the two districts are not
competitors, as the Hood River
berries ripen generally a mouth
later than the Missouri berries.
It is said by the best horticulturists
that the Hood River and South
west Missouri berries are the only
ones crown in America that com
bine perfect flavor, symetnea
shape, elegance of color and pure
taste, conseaueutl) tuey bring tue
best price on the market and as a
esult the growers m ootti markets
are making large profits on their
business.
Oregon is evidently missing a
crand opportunity to do some ex
cellent advertising just now in this
part of the great Central West.
Thousands ol circulars, pamphlets,
etc.. could be well placed at small
cost under prevailing conditions
within a radius of 300 miles of St
Louis.
The talk in this couutry among
those who have an idea of going to
the far West greatly worries an
Oregdnian. Everybody seems to
think there are only two Pacific
Coast or Western states, California
and Washington. When Oregon
is succested they seem surprised
The facts are the majority, about
90 per cent, niver read an article
nor saw a pamphlet or circular on
Oregon or any one of its resources
or districts. The only advertising
the state has ever received is that
which is torn from cans of salmon
and the articles published in the
daily papers when Harry Tracy
awoke the people with bis 30-30
and most of the people think that
happened in Washington.
There have been twenty-two
people whom I know personally
left here since March tst for the
West, 18 of whom bought tickets
for Seattle and other Washington
points, and the other four went di
rect to Los Angeles, Calif.
It is quite strange to me that ev
ery child, man or woman I meet
cnu tell me sufficient about Wash
ington or California to make a small
volume of interesting reading mat
ter, while not one out of ten cau
tell on what river l'ortlaud is lo
cated. In fact it seems strange to
me why one can't eveu get people
to talk about Oregon, and yet one
ought not to be surprised when the
conditions are tnkeu into consider
ation. I was talking to nu official of the
Unrriulan lines, Southern Pacific
and others while in Kansas City a
few days ago nud he told me that
Oregon need not expect anything
from railroads until she gained rec
ognition by sheer force. I nsked
him why and he replied: "All
effort is being put forward by the
Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific railways to build up Washing
ton. The hand of these railways is
seen In congress and throughout
the commercial world working with
might and main to make Washing
ton seaports central shipping points
for the far Bast and for all Alaskan
points; while the Southern Pacific,
in fact the entire Ilarriman system,
011 account of the bitter warfare
with the Santa Be system is com
pelled to put forth its every effort
in behalf of California thereby leav

hope for a share of the immigration
when she by individual and inde
pendent effort brings the great
natural resources to the front.
When she docs thnt she will turn
the tide of immigration and will re
ceive railway recognition and not
before."
This-statement by an official of
the railway companies who abso
lutely control the state of Oregon
ought to awaken the people to a 1
realization ol their situation. I
This gentleman suggested a
method that I consider quite feas
ible and which I think would bring
about good results but I can't out- ,
line it in this letter but will do so
in my next.
He informed me that in bis opin
ion Oregon is much superior to
Washington but being under the
absolute control of one system of
railroads whose main interests were '
elsewhere she could not hope for
much in the way of railway adver-1
Using.
There are hundreds of people
throughout Southwest, Mo., who
would like to change locations and I
who have money but most of them
011 account of advertising will go to
Washington or California. I have
been pretty well over five counties
since my arrival here last February
and have made dilligent inquiry but
have uot seen or beard of a person
who ever received one of the pam
phlets gotten out by different towns
throughout the state of Oregon last
summer aud sent to railroad head
quarters in Chicago for distribution.
The facts are I do not believe much
of an effort was ever made to dis
tribute those pamphlets excepting
in the shops and factories ot the
larger cities.
This letter may sound a little
strange to Nugget readers, but I
may have occasion to write one
later on that will sound even more
so. Very Respfy.
