Corvallis receives more attention than any other point in the Willa mette valley, while lledford leads in Southern Oregon Ralph Ack ley, secretary of thctyAitnook De velopement League, has issued a personal letter, which gives in a very brief and effective way the re sources of his city and county, and the results will certainly be gratify ing. Many other points in Oregon are at work and the commercial and in dustrial bodies of the state should get out their very best advertising matter and into the mails without delay. The Portland Commercial Club added $2,480 to the fund with which it is advertising the state ol Oregon at a dinner last Tuesday night. . The newspapers of the state are doing a grand work in calling atten tion to this opportunity to increase the population and wealth of the state, while the teachers and in some cases the preachers are mak ing it their business to interest the citizens of Oregon in inviting those who live in the older sections of the country to come out and make their homes in the Beaver State. Tillamook Editor Sued For Libel iiuamook, Or., Feb. it. Fred C. Baker, editor of the Tillamook Headlight, was sued today for libe by Sam Earl, who claims l.sooo damages. In giving a list of cases and the names of the jurors who tried a number of local option cases to this city since the local option law came into effect, the Headlight made a typographical error in sav ing the "Sam Earle case" instead of the "Jesse Earl case." For mak f ... . . , mg tnis trivial error Sam Earl claims that his reputation has been damaged to the extent of$sooo. Jesse Earl was charged some months ago with violating the local option aw; and in two trials the juiiesdis agreed, but in giving the list of all cases and the names of the jurors and how the jury stood in the case the name of Sam Earl was published instead of Jesse Earl. The Red Cross Society of Wash- ington is sending large sums of money and seed wheat to the starv ing people ot China. A woman suffragist amendment has been passed by the lower house of the legislature, and the question again to be submitted to the people. Last year America produced 90,- 000,000 railroad ties. The drama tic profession can no longer com plain justly of the ingratitude ot an unfeeling public. The people of Oregon adopted a law to abolish railroad passes. The all-wise legislature enacts a law to give all the officials passes. Selah. Salem Capital. . President Hill of the Great Northern railroad says he must ther double track his present line built a new one across the continent. While the congressional patty of investigators were on the Isthmus of Panama an alligator tried to eat one of the members. Both the al- gator and the congressman were saved. House bill No. 250, requiring that a permanent record be kept by the county clerk ot each county of all elections held within the county, passed the senate. With but six negative votes, the house passed Beal's bill providing for the appoint ment by the State Food and Dairy Commissioner, of a cheese and dai ry inspector and a cieamery and dairy commissioner. These ap pointees are to receive an annual salary of $1500, and an allowance of $1000 per annum for traveling ex penses. The bill was favorably considered by the house in commit tee of the whole with Rodgers, of Marion, in the chair. Special until March 1st. Torch Paris Panel, only $5.00 per dozen.

J. Hill fail in his efforts to increase the capitalization of the Great North ern sufficiently to enable him to make a double track system throughout its entire length it is said he will get around the difficul ty by organizing a new company and building another transcontinen tal line. This would be considerably more expensive than merely doubly track ing the existing road, but, where necessary, money expenditures do not count for much with Hill in carrying out his purpose. The first step in the construction of such a new road probably would be the building of a line from St. Paul to the western end of North Dakota and this would serve to re- ieve the congestion of the Great Northern where it is most severely felt.

The Dalles Chronicle. A few years ago the Ladies' Home Journal, now one of the best and most widely circulated month- y magazines, sought favors of the country press by sending out editor ial copy tor papers to republish, with a certain fixed credit to be giv en. The Observer is free to confess that it was among the thousands of country sheets that used it. But there came a time, after the maga zine had got unlimited practically free advertising and had gained a remarkable circulation, when it dropped its country friends and un suspecting boosters and absolutely refused to consider its benefactors any longer as worthy copyists or subscribers. Now comes another ladies' maga zine, just as good and as well known and published in Ohio, with the same manner of copy and prac tically the same proposition. Not saving it will accord the same treat ment, the Observer intends and would advise other papers to leave it alone and let the large periodicals hoe their own rows. Victory (O.) Observer. Mint!
