RICH HARVEST

The Low Rales are Bringing
Thousands From the East
The Best Rustler Among the States
and the jBest Rustler Among the
Counties ol Oregon Will Get the
Lion's Share.
Five thousand per cent yeaily in
come on the money invented, $10,
000,000 total, is the profit estimat
ed from the pteseiit advertising
campaign being conducted by the
Oregon Development League, ac
cording to Tom Kicluudson of Hie
Portland Commercial Club.
"Nothing like it has ever hie"
known in positive taugibia result
in America." said Mr. Richardson
yesterday. "Oreion as a whole I

000 in adveitising the towns, chits
rind counties of Oregon an I also
the Mate in general, and the fact,
that the Trans-Continental Passen
ger Association is granting special
low rates till October 'M only to
colonists is also of great benefit to
the '..tato. Tho returns have been
ulniost beyond belief.
'For instance: The Portland Com
mercial Club has invested $1100 in
display ads in various- farm papers
and journals covering a circulation
of 7,000,000 readers. From our in
vestment this club alone has re
ceived over 111, (.100 answers. We
not only reply to each one our
selves in the manner that each in
quiry seems to demand, by letter,
printed matter, maps, newspapers,
or any other information tho writer
happens to want, but we also pass
this list on to the 75 commercial
bodies out over the state, which
compose the Oregon Development
League. These organizers in turn
bombard the 111, 000 prospective
colonists' with information of vari
ous kinds. Hut added to this list
of names are the lists each body
has of it own. The result is won
derful. "According to the railroads, as
proved by the tickets lor this low
rate, collected last March and April
over 1 1,000 people came into this
stale to Jive this year. Most ol
them came fiom the Middle West.
Iowa led in those she Bent to us,
with Minnesota a eloso i-ecoiid.
Ninety-four per cent 01 tho new
comers are Americans, and practi
cally all of them have been people
who sold out back there and canio
here with au average of jjL'ooo
apiece. But few wero young men
looking lor' land to take up. Most
of the newcomers bought farms in
15eiito'i county, for example, $oo
was invested in advertising this
rate mid so far this year, the records
show that over $000,000 was in
vested in Benton County land by
the colonists. There is a return of
150.000 per cent on the money in
vestep. But Ponton county is suc
cessful above the average. Still all
told Oregon this year has on the iu
vestment of $125,000 received about
$28,000,000 cash return from
money the colonists have actually
brought trom the Middle West to
this state and invested mostly in
farms. Add $12,000,000 11s a very
low estimate of the increased values
in all vvaya such an increase of
population aud cash capital has I
brought to the state aud you have
$40,000,000 as the return of f 125,
000 invested in state advertising.

"jN'ow here ic one thing I want !

to call particular attention to:

New Zealand is a very small coun

right, it started right, early in its
career, while we have gone on be

Men of the West Too Spirited to Settle
Down With Any Asiatics.
New Haven, Sept. 28. In the
course of an address to the local
aerie of Iiagles last night Congress
man Bell of California, national
head of the order( in speaking of
radical couditious on the Pacific
coast, said:
"We on the Pacific coast, when
we look upon the ingress of Orient
als, think we have discovered a war
cloud. We will require common
decency the decency required by
law; we will not tolerate men who
prey upon weakei men, upon the
weaker sex, to triumph over us.
"We have a race in the great
west, a race full of American
blood. We do not purpose to settle
down with any Asiatic, Chinese or
Japanese.
'Here you live in peace with
Europe; there we look to th Paci
fic. We do not know how to inter
pret what is coming over the Paci
fic. You don't know. Do not
settle down easily, my brother
Eagles, aud sa llint we should not
heed. The middle classes will evi
dently have to fight this battle, as
they have, done in the past."

Held at Eugene Last Week
a Success
More Progress Made in Lane County
Durmg Past Year Than Ever Before
M.-s. Eva Wheeler, of Cottage Grove
Re-elected President.
The annual Convention of the
Lane County Woman's Christian
Tfluperar.ee Union held in the Bap
tist church at Eugene, last week,
was one of unusual importance.
The sessions, devoted almost entire
ly to business, was intensely inter
esting from start to finish. Mrs.
Wheeler, the county president, said
in her annual address, that during
the seventeen yers Lane county
has been o.ganized no one year has
perhaps shown sj much progress
in all Hues (if work as the one just
closing. New departments are be
ing worked. The Ij. T. L. work is
comiug to the front. We now have
eight active unions, three L. T. L's
two V's and one union not holding
regular meetings. Our finances are
in the best of condition ever known,
medal contest work is also being
pushed, more copies of our state
and national papers are being tak
en, and more interest manifested
in temperance literature. . Prohibi
tion is prohibiting more and more
throughout the county. In con
clusion she said:
"We must work to get each city
council to pass an ordinance pro
hibiting the shipment of intoxicat
ing liquors into prohibition terri
tory. Salem, California, has done
this and the Southern Pacific agents
from Portland to San Francisco
have been instructed not to accept
shipment of liquor to Salem."
The Irving union, on account of
the faithful work done under ad
verse conditions, was declared
unanimously to be the banner union.
