OREGON IS GROWING
All Parts of the State Are
Prosperous,
AN INFLUX OF HOMB SEEKERS
The Low Colonist Rate Are Bringing
Many Thousand People Into This
Prosperous Commonwealth.
Portland, Or., March 11, 1907.
A contract has been let by the
Portland Commercial Club for ad
vertising which will reach about
seven millions of readers, making
prominent the low colonist rates to
this state, and giving special atten
tion to the agricultural resources
and possibilities of Oregon.
The general passenger agents of
all the different roads unite in the
belief that wc arc to have an espec
ially large immigration, and urge
not only the commercial and indus
trial bodies of the state, but all citi
zens, to bear in mind that these
rates will continue until April 30,
and it is alvisablc for them to see
their station aecnts, and get the
exact facts, and write to acquain
tances, friends and relatives in the
older states. These rates have been
given on several occasions m these
columns, but it is well to repeat the
fact that tickets from Kansas City
and all Missouri river points, St.
Paul and all that portion of the
Northwest, including the Dakota,
as well as Nebraska, Kansas, por
tions of Oklahoma, Missouri and
Iowa, can be brought to almost any
point in Oregon for $25; from St.
Louis for $30; from Chicago for $33,
and from New York for $50.
Building operations reported from
all points in Oregon show greater
activity than at any time in the
history of the state. The smaller
towns are growing just as substan
tially as arc the cities, and in many
districts of the state new farm
houses arc being erected and more
substantial improvements are being
made than for many years past. All'
of the irrigated districts of the state
arc receiving mauy home-seekers,
and the valleys and more thickly
settled sections are entertaining a
good many visitors who are looking
for investments ok every possible
character.
The demand for building mater
ial of all kiuds is unprecedented.
One brick manufacturer reports or
ders exceeding those of last year at
this time 30 fold, while the orders
placed for structural steel, cement
and lumber are beyond the antici
pations and expectations of the most
enthusiastic Oregonians.
In all the fruit belts of the state,
many thousands of additional acres
are beitie put into orchards; in fact
there is prosperity on all sides. The
appropriations by the government
for water-way improvements are
especially liberal. Railroad build
ing is under actual operation in a
good many districts and all persons
who come to this state, either on
the colonist rates or tourist rates
which follow, will find all of Oregon
both inviting and prepossessing.
The commercial organizations
are more active than ever before,
but this does not excuse those that
are sleeping on their rights and
each nud every one that is not al
ready active should get busy.

NEW LODQE IN BEND.

A local lodge of the Knights of
Pythias was organized in Bend last

bership of 16 knights. Visiting

continued until 7:30 the next morn
ing, making an all night's job of it
At 12 o'clock the knights and can
didates took a recess and repaired
to the Hotel Bend where a three-
course banquet was served a
spread that elicited much praise
from the knights. Work was then
again resumed and carried on to

WILL SERVE PRISON TERM.
J. N. Williamson, Dr. Van Qesner and
Marlon Biggs Lose Their Cose In
the Circuit Court of Appeals.
Ex-Congressman J. N. William-
son, Dr. van Gesner and Marion
Biggs, Princville men, have met
with an adverse ruling from the
Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting at
Sau Francisco.
By a decision handed down last
Monday the Appellate Court con
firmed the conviction of VanGesuer
and Biggs and a term of prison now
stares them iu the face. William
son's appeal was dismissed by the
above court because he has taken
an appeal to the Supreme Court at
the United States. The govern
ment attorneys state that he has no
possible chance of winning a favor
able decision. The ruling by the
appellate court is considered a great
victory for the government.
These three men were thrice
tried and f.nally convicted on the
charge of complicity in Oregon laud
fiauds. Upon their conviction,
Williamson and Biggs were sen
tenced to to months' imprisonment
and a fine of 500 each, and Van.
Gesner was given five months' im
prisonment and a fine of $1,000,
Williamson's hearing iu the Su.
oreme Court will probably occur in
about three months. It is gener
ally couceded that these tneu will
uot be able to escape serving their
sentence in prison,
