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.

Last year America produced 90,-

If Efforts te Inereese Capitalisation
Fail, ee aa te Double Track
the Great Northern.
Chicago, Feb. 13. Should J. 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.

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.)
