Various organizations in the Oregon
Development Lengue are adopting a
pecial letter-head for use during
March and April only something so
triking that the colonist rates can-
not be overlooked by its recipient.
BiiMiicss men are using the same eta-
tionery. Already answers are arriving
to advertisements inserted in the great
est agricultural, fruit and dairy jour
nals of the country by the League
about the middle of February, and
long lists of enquirers are being sent
to tho ditVerent commercial secre-j
taries Whose organizations tifliliated
with the Stato body. Hundreds of
thonsunds of pieces of literature are
going fast from every part of Oregon.
Every mail carries its .message. Es
pecially valuable are the fruit bulletins
and report of the Oregon State Dairy
Association Kent from the home office.
The Los Angeles Information Bureau
maintained by Oregon reports a num
ber of people coming north immedi
ately as a' consequense of its few
weeks' work.
"The trend of civilization has always
been westward," said Henry Watson
Cornell in a lecture recently delivered
before Portland Business Men, "since
it crossed Asia to sweep through
Europe. Immigration is now flowing
West through the United States 4with
irresistable force, but the Pacific Coast
is tho limit of this great tidal move
ment, and here iwill be found the
greatest cities of the world. The soli
dity a.nd 1 substantial character of
Portland must impress any .visitor',
while the vast tributary district of
"bothOregon and Washington repre
sents greater wealth than can ever be
taken from the erold mines of the
continent."
Marcht15th has been named by the
judges of the Commercial Club's $5,000
contest as the date when their labors
will probably be completed.' It is
proving an arduous task to judge the
