REGULAR PORTLAND LETTER
Portland Aids to Make State
Fair a Success
GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION IS AGITATING
Vanguard of Colonists Beginning
to Arrive from the East
and Middle West
Portland, Ore., September 20
Portland Day at the State Fair at
Salem was one of the biggest
days in the history of that organ
ization. Excursions from Port
land took 2400 people from the
metropolis. The weather was
perfect and a warm welcome was
given the visitors upon their ar
rival at the capital.
The excursion from this city
was run under the auspices of
the Portland Commercial Club
and special greetings were given
by city and state officials at Sa
lem. The Portland visitors were
highly pleased with their recep
tion and the general excellence
of the fair, which was a credit
to the whole state.
Roseburg is the latest com
munity to testify that consistent
publicity work pays. Within the
past month 44 families have
notified Publicity Manager
Schlosser, of the Roseburg Com
mercial Club, of their intention
to locate in the vicinity of that
place during the coming Winter
or Spring.
Portland people will turn out
to Pendleton's "Roundup",
which will be held on September
29, 30 and October 1. The Port
land Commercial Club will or
ganize an excursion including
many business men of the me
tropolis who want to see the Wild
West stunts of tne cowboys and
the many attract'ons offered.
There will be thrills a plenty for
the visitors. The program as
now outlined offers many things
reminiscent of the real frontier.
The State Good Roads Associa
tion is very anxious for the peo
ple to become better acquainted
with petition 354 on the ballot,
which reads: "No county shall
create any debts or liabilities
which shall singly or in the ag
gregate exceed the sum of $5000,
except to suppress insurrection
or repel invasion or to build per
manent roads within the county,
but debts for permanent roads
shall be incurred only on approv
al of a majority of those voting
on the question. " Those at work
for the passage of the amend
ment permitting the bonding of
the county for read work say it
will be the biggest step Oregon
has made toward permanent im
provement for a long time.
The vanguard of the Fall colo
nists travel from the East and
Middle West to Oregon is arriv
ing on every train. Reports from
the immigration officials of the
railroads are to the effect that
this travel will be heavy and that
a large number of new citizens
will reach Oregon this year.
People of the state should make
special efforts to welcome the,
newcomers and make them feel
at home in their new environ
ment Help should be given in
helping them find suitable loca
tions. Oregon people have a dis
tinct duty to perform in giving
aid and comfort tc the homeseek
er who will be with us in large
numbers this fall.
Chehalis, Washington, is doing
some good work in advancing
new methods of burning out
stumps on logged off lands. The
Citizens Club of Chehalis recent
ly held the demonstrations of the
char pit method of burning
stumps and the tests were very
successful. It is thought the
general adoption of this means
of clearing cutover lands will be
of great value to the Pacific
Northwest.

F. B. Mulkey at Eugene
Following is a notice from the
Eugene Register, and is a report
of a speach made by B. F. Mul
key, at Eugene, showing his
views on the subject under dis
cussion. Hon. B. F. Mulkey,' of Jack
sonville, who is a candidate for
the nomination for congressman,
was then introduced. He made
an eloquent and forceful plea for
the emancipation of Western
Oregon from the slavery of ex
orbitant freight rates, and saw
in the present movement of the
Lane County Asset company a
means of freeing the people of
Eugene and this section of the
Willamette valley. He said it is
the duty of congress to keep its
eye on Coos Bay and deepen the
harbor so that battleships could
anchor there. He spoke of the
time when the railroad was built
to Yaquina Bay, how the price of
the Willamette valley farmer's
wheat and other products went
up and the cost of table necessi
ties was lowered, but this road
was gobbled up by the corpora
tion that has its hands on the
throats of the people of western
Oregon and the same old condi
tions again prevailed. Mr. Mul
key made the statement that as
soon as a railroad from Eugene
to tide water is built, this city
will be enjoying the same advan
tage that Los Angeles is now.
His address was well received
and heartily applauded after its
close. He made a spledid im
pression on his hearers and while
no politics were injected into his
speech, he won a good many
votes in the audience.

just take his side on every ques

teacher or your neighbors' child

with him, right or wrong, in all
his disputes. This will give him
a good start in the downward
path. Yamhill Record.
