HALL Bsfora tha Paolfle Coaat Advertising Association at Victoria, B. C, July 21, 190S. The following paper was read by Rinaldo M. Hall, advertising agent for the O. R. & N. Railway Co., be fore the Paci6c Coast Advertising Association at Victoria, B. C, July 21. and it makes good reading, es pecially to those people who proph esied that Oregon would be as dead as the world-famed mackeral alter the 1005 Lewis and Clark Fair closed its gates to the public. While Mr. Hall's chief business is to look to the interests of the O. R. & N. Railway, he never loses an opportunity to bring to public no- tice the beauties, advantages and great opportunities Oregon offers to the homeseekers. In lact, he is one of the best known railroad men in the East, where he is just now centering his attention and adver- Using matter, and it is directly through his untiring efforts that thousand of people have settled in this state, to be followed by thous- ands who are looking for a chance to better their condition, and what N, of aI1 the people that Mr. fr ,a,Atrt or. , " 01 me oeucr cia.s, anu incv win prove a desirable addition to the population of Oregon: With the Lewis and Clark Ex- position at Portland, Or., as the . , . great magnet ot attraction in IQo5. 1 thousands from the East and Middle West took advantage of the low railroad rates and visited the Pacific Coast, the majority ot them for the firvf tfm Raltrvid tranTVrtarinn I t I was so arrangea mat noiaers 01 licit- ets had choice of routes southward to California, thence north along the coast; or northwest to Victoria, Se attle or Tacoma, and south along the coast, but all through Portland, the "City oi Roses." More than two years before the Exposition gates were opened the Harriman lines began a most active campaign ol advertising, over 2.000, 000 pieces of literature being print ed and sent out, exploiting the wonderful resources ot the section, advertising the Lewis and Clark Ex position and introducing the West to the East. The result of this campaign of education is best told by quoting from a recent article by General Manager O'Brien' of the Harriman lines: Largely as a result of our adver tising prior to and during the Lewis and Clark Exposition, there came into Portland over the Oregon kail road & Navigation Company, be' tween June 1 and October ij, 1905 the following passengers: From Oregon, Washington and Idaho, 83 654; from Montana, Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, 17,101; from Missouri River points, 48,866, making a total of 149,611 At the same time that the railroads were carrying on these heavy camp aigns the publicity bureau of the Lewis and Clark Exposition was working night and day along similar hues; supplying 9000 papers with a weekly story, each story containing 2000 words of interesting matter re lative to the Exposition; but never a letter went out without containing something in reference to the City of Portland and State of Oregon. Photographs speak in all languages, and realizing this fact Secretary Keed, prior to and during the Ex position, furnished 21,000 photo graphs to illustrate the stories sent out from his bureau. During the same time 2,000,000 pieces of printed matter were distributed, each carry ing a message in reference to the section. What was the result? Thous ands read them and thousands came, and the best part of the story is the fact that the visitors found condi tions in Oregon much better than had been pictured, and at once fel in love with the country, those who did not remain carried home with them the story of our delightful sec tion They found its valleys gardens of productiveness and beauty; its rivers and mountain streams clear as cry stal and reflecting the grandest IIILLSUOKO scenery in the world; its farmers the capitalists of the country, producing the products that the markets de mand, counting their customers by the millions in the Orient, the Al aska cities and the countries of Eur ope. They found the soil, climate and all conditions unsurpassable for the successful pursuance of varied industry; happiness and content ment on every hand; the spirit of progress everywhere, and new hnmn. new churches and new Uchoolhouses being built by the - hundreds. In manv places where there were sagebrush prairies only L few years ago they found towns - nd cities had arisen, almost as ll - Dy magic; millions ot acres of waste land having been redeemed by J water and caused to produce crops Phenomenal in their ulentv. anoth er evidence of the extraordinary ad- 1 a- " ' vantages of the section. They discovered that Oregon has ,or citizens the best class ol settlers from the oldest sections of the East anij Middle West, the foreign im migration of the highest standard, the percentage of those who usually contribute to the agricultural deve lopment of a comparatively new re- gon being relatively large; the ed ucational and church advantages equal to those found anywhere; the climate most delightful, the opport- unjtes the best in the land, and the natural scenery unsurpassed. Great was the reioicinir when the Kates 0f , he Exposition opened, and . , , ' especially wnen me attendance sur- nassed the most sancu ne emecta- tjons the receipts being sufficiently large to pay a substantial sum to the subscribers of stocks, something that was not done by the great ex- positions of the United States. There U onnther aid Vivr Xt was not aji sunshine. for in ad dition t0 the occasional distiibution 0f moisture there were pessimists t 1 j 1- t- - ana croaicers Dy me nuuurcua, who predicted that at the close of the ex position the town clock would cease to mark the hours; that property values would sink so low that resuscitation would not be pos sible; that there would be no money in property for rental; that the city sr. S ass .. 01 rortiana wouia be leit witn a conglomeration of "newcomers" that would be a disgrace to the sec tion, and that it would be a quarter of a century before the good old steady city would regain its equili brium. But what are the real facts? The Exposition was a success in every particular; no years in the history of the City of Portland has been so successful in every line as the one following the Exposition; real estate values have trinlrl! x 1 rentals were never so large in num ber; the population has increased beyound all expectations; the city has dressed and cleaned up and taken new life; the pessimists and croakers are on the other side of the fence, all singing the same happy song and working shoulder to shoulder with the same aim to make Portland all God intended it should be, the most beautiful and progressive city on the Coast, ever ready to extend a helping hand to its sister cities in the North and to the sister cities on the south, in order that they too may move for ward on the great wave of prosper ity set in motion by the Lewis and Clark Exposition, which was your rair as wen as our own. Until futher notice, the Southern Pacific will refuse lumber shipments for San Francisco and Oakland he. cause of the congestion of traffic at me yay uty. where it is said 5000 cars are waiting unloading. Con signees are unable to provide for the storage of the contents of tnese cars and the railroad is forced to stop the receipt of cars for the South.

Opinion of tPH Esprssssd at the Fees" Dairymen's Mooting Hals' at Salem. That Oregon can produce butter cheaper thaa any other state in the Union and that Oregon creamery- men are nevertheless figuring on importing cream from Minnesota, were startling asrertions made at a dairymen's meeting held at Salem last Saturday. Professor McKay, of the dairy department of the Iowa State Ag ricultural College, was the principal speaker. He said that although his state produces more butter than any other state, he freely acknow ledged that this is a more advanta geous region for dairying, for the reason that the climate is less sub ject to such extreme conditions. He said Oregon should not import a pound ot butter, but should be an exporter when that product can be shipped to New York for two cents a pound and to Liverpool for two and one-half cents. He urged the extension of dairying as a means of retaining farm fertility. Director James Wuhycombe, of the Oregon Experiment Station, said that the dairy products in this state this year will have a value of $8,000,000 and in a few years dairy ing will surpass lumbering, which is now our greatest wealth-produc ing industry, tie saia tnat one creamery operator is figuring on importing cream from Minnesota, and deplored such a condition, when the Willamette valley will produce ten to fifteen tons of green corn feed or thirty tons of green al falfa per acre. Dairy Comiuissioner.J. VJ. Bai ley spoke in a similar strain, saying that he has seen hay offered for sale this year at $2.50 a ton in the field and yet the farmers had no stock to sell. - Justice T. G. Halley told of his successful dairy experience at Pen leton but added that the Willamette Valley is superior to Eastern Ore gon tor this industry. He spoke of the cow as a cream producer ma chine, and condemned the practice of many farmers who put their har vesters under sheds to protect them from sun and storm, but let the cows stand out unsheltered. Manager Morson, of the Hazle wood Creamery, said that the great drawback in the dairy industry is the difficulty in securing milkers. He hoped to see dairying become such an important industry and milking such an honored occupa tion that Oregon girls will refuse to marry men who cannot milk. Ex-Traveling Freight Agent Louns berry, of the Southern Pacific, gave figures to show that dairying has made farms valuable in Iowa under conditions not as favorable as in Oregon. He predicted that dairy ing will become Oregon's greatest industry. No Better Region. The American Sheep Breeder says: "We nave oucu wondered where a better sheep country could be found than that lying in the great Willamette valley of Oregon, extending 150 miles in length and fifty miles in width, and unsurpassed in fertility and geniality of its cli mate. Some day the entire valley will be dotted with Cotswolds and Lincolns surpassed by .none in the world." Inferentially, the writer means to say that no better country tor the purpose can be found, and his won der probably is that far greater numbers of the most valuable sheep are not in it. i et some aay" the industry will have grown to several times its present proportions. Willamette valley wools, pro duced by men who gave the busi- ness close attention and bred up carefully, have long been noted for their superior excellence, and what a few have done, hunareusand even thousands can do, each on a com paratively small. scale, so that "some day" there will be many small flocks of the highest grade sheep wnere there is one flock now. The Willamette valley isthe fin est hop region iu the world, and tens of thousands of acres of good hop land never yet used for that crop can be bought for $50 an acre or less. It is a srlendid fruit country, especially for prunes, that will not always be commercially in the dumps. It is an ideal dairy country, and can produce millions of dollars worth of dairy products for export annually. It is a good grain countiy too, though raising grain for export is not profitable. It has abundance of timber and water, and a moderate climate, and is beginning a new and great de velopment. The Sheep Breeder is right in putting the Willamette valley at the head of regions especially ad apted to raising fine sheep and wool, and it will do more and more, but its fruit and dairy industries will grow even faster. Ex. A Portland daily says that the group of capitalists attracted to Port land by C. E. Loss, who seeks to in terest them in the Uuite Railways proposition have returned to Califor nia, after looking over conditions. Mr, Loss will remain in Portland to superintend the carrying out of the United Railways projects. Those interested in financing the scheme says that success has attended their efforts and every thing seems favor able to the earring out of the pro positions originally started by J. W. Evans, of Los Angeles. Mr. Loss states he will head the subscription with from 450,000 to 100,000 and others interested will do likewise. The bonds, it is said, will be taken by financial interests out side of the usual channel of New York trust company financiering. A Tragic Finish. A watchman's neglect permitted a leak in the great North Sea dyke, which a child s finger could have stopped, to become a ruinous break, devastating an entire province 01 Holland. In like manner Kennetn Mclver, of Vanceboro, Me., per mitted a little cold to go unnoticed until a tragic finish was only avert ed by Dr. King's New Discovery. He writes: "Three doctors gave me up to die of lung inflammation, caused by a neglected coia; dui ut. King's New Discovery saved ray life."

Professor G. L. McKay, in charge of the dairying department of Iowa State Agricultural College, at Ames, will address the business men of this city at the court house this Fri day evening. The talk will be de livered at 8 o'clock and matters of general interest to the dairy and creamery interest in the state will be considered. Prof. McKay has held -meetings in Albany, Eugene, McMinnville and Salem, every one of which was largely attended, considering the fact that this is the farmers' busy season. In addition to Professor McKav and Commissioner Bailey, Dr. James Withycome and T. G. Hailey are among the experts and authorities who are addressing the gatherings of farmers and dairymen at the var ious points. It is the belief of Com missoner Bailey that the meetings will have, the effect ot rousing the dairying interests of the state from a long period of semi-lethargy, and help to put this industry iu rank with the foremost in the state. Let there be a big turn out of everybody interested in dairying, for Prof. McKay will give an ad dress full of interest to people both from city and country. Farmers are especially requested to be pres ent. Attack Mall Order .business Jefierson City, Mo., July 21. Governor Joseph W.

"We wish the city merchants to build up, but we also desire the country merchants to prosper. I do not belive in the mail order citizen.

The law providing for the exem tion from taxation of householders' property to the extent ot $300 first went into effect in 1854. Since that time it has been continuously in op eration up to the present time, with the exception of 1904, when no ex emption was made, due to an act ot the Legislature, which was subse quently annulled. The decision of the Supreme Court rendered Tuesday holds that the ex emption law is unconstitutional. This means that the tax list of Mulnomah County will be increas ed approximately $1,500,000, and the tax list of the entire state ap proximately $6,000,000. This change will go into effect during the present year and will necessitate a revision of the tax lists: It is given out on good authority that a bill will be introduced in the legislature next winter to increase the number of judges of the supreme court from three to five. It is a well known fact that the supreme bench is behind in its work aud at the present time a very large number of suits of importance are piled up awaiting consideration. In many instances this works a big hardship on the litigants and in some Instances the decision come too late to give the remedy they other wise would carry. As it is, the judges are overwork ed and it is always a temptation to hurry in the work and not give the cases the time and attention they are entitled to. However, it has never been said that this has actually occurred in Oregon, but the supreme judges are only human and, like every one else, could possible do the work better if they had less of it to do. It is not known what member of the legislature will be sponsor for this proposed bill, but it has been asserted that a section will be includ ed making it compulsory that not more than three of the five members of the new bench shall be of the same political party. The trend of events in Oregon has recently been toward non-partis anship in public office and this is especially true in regard to the judiciary. It is believed that this provision can be included in the bill provided it is made into a law. It must be considered that the general public does not appreciate the volume of work that the supreme court has to do, but there is little doubt but that the entire bar of the state will sign a petition to increase the number of judges in the state's highest court.
