PAPCR RCAD BY R. M. 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

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

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

and all conditions unsurpassable for
the successful pursuance of varied

THE BEST STATE
FOR DAIRYING
OREGON THC BEST IN THE U. S.
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.

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

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

Governor Joseph W. Folk, in ad

"We are proud of our splendid

"We wish the city merchants to

Tax Exemption la Oregon.
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. Salem Capital.
