McMURKAY General Passenger Agent, Portland, Oregon Oregon, the Land of Opportunity, The following editorial taken from tne Evening Telegram of Portland contains suggestions of great im portance which should be read by every citizen of this county. Oregon should have a population of more than 5,000,000,000 of people. Our orchard lands, mines and lumber in terests will Justify this statement: "Oregon is truly a land of oppor tunity, yet the fact is just becoming known imperfectly to the nation at j large. Stump land now worth $5 to $35 an acre hides the future or chard that will be worth $S00 to J $1000. Rich river bottoms and slopes, either wastes now or pastured .at little profit, are the future truck land garden farm, the berry patch jand the small orchard. Verdant hills that never shed the green mantle : outline to the observer the greatest dairying and livestock district of the j world. j "Who knows this? Only a few. Have the thousands of thrifty, pros perous American farmers rushing to ! the Canadian Northwest heard the j orchard story? We fear not. Has the scientific horticulturist ' of the ! Middle West, where frosts, drouth and hot summer winds attack his j fruit alternately, been told properly of Oregon's latent orchard wealth? .Surely not, else he would have come before. How many of the busy na tion realize that there are 4.000,000 1 acres of peerless fruit haul in this state, an area capable of producing the choice varieties of the whole country, which land when properly planted yields from $100 to fUtiu, gross, per acre each year? Certainly few as yet. Does the average invest or grasp the wealth of this timber paradise, this balmy home for live stock, this land that has rich soil, moist airs and tempering breezes? He cannot and give them so little at tention. "Good work is being done but not enough. Something more effective is needed. The state must have more graphic description, more wealth of fact. Living, Irrefutable examples must be held up continually. Every great success must be dinned Into the Eastern ear every day of every month. All of the people of all the state would have to feel the prompt ings of this duty, and never fail to herald Oregon as the land of un numbered opportunities." Sell Liquor, (io to Jail. This was a bad day for Pendleton bootleggers, three of them having been arrested, prosecuted, convicted and sentenced to jail in short order. One of them was serving his sen tence within an hour after the com mission of the crime. One of the trio is a white man, one a half-breed and one a negro. They are James Myers, Frank Parr and Rufus Fletcher. Fletcher, the young colored man, made the mistake of delivering the bottle of booze to the wrong Indian woman. A similarity of size and shawl proved his undoing, for the squaw to whom It was delivered be ing a Carlylo graduate and a re spectable Indian, promptly turned the firewater over to the police. The arrest and conviction was but a mat ter of minutes. A fourth bootlegger Is under suspicion and will probably be arrested tomorrow. -Oregonlan. liiiildlng Tor Sale.

KIks Herd at Roseburg, On Saturday, soon after noon, the special train of the II. P. O. E., Ash ! land to Roseburg, stopped for a Jew minutes at Grants Pass to take or members of the order and to alio the excursionists to mingle with the local herd. The train was composed of three coaches and one baggag car, all appropriately labeled with purple banners. The Ashland concert baud and also the Ashland Chinese band discoursed music and the pur ple goat was given an airing. They picked Dr. Flanagan, C. E. Harmon, Jno. Russell, W. E. Mc- Grew, Tom Gilmore, A. Fetsch and D. W. Ileni and then proceeded to Roseburg where they were met bv thousands of Douglas county citizens and visitors and given a royal wel come extending far Into the niirht. The Ashland team had charge of the stunts and it Is safe to say that the "branding" was done In the most approved manner. The Roseburg Strawberry Festival of which Saturday was the closing day, was the most successful event in the city's history and hospitality was dispensed which will be long re inem bered. The Drotlicihooil Convention. Portland Presbyterians are putting their best foot forward in their ef fort to get ready for the Brotherhood Convention, June 8 and 9. The Portland Commercial Club has been secured for the opening event, which will be a banquet, or fellowship sup- ier. Mr. Robert Livingston, one of he well-known citizens of the state, will preside. It is expected that W. W. Cotiou, general attorney of the llarrinian lines in Oregon, will give in address of welcome. Wallace Mc- Camant, of the Portland bar, will speak upon "The Appeal of Historic Presbyterianism to the Men of To day." The moderator of the General Assembly will probably be present and will respond to the sentiment, "The Presbyterian Church of Today.". President Charles S. Hoyt, of Chi cago, will speak on the "Presbyterian Brotherhood." The convention theme will be the claim of the church upon its men. "The Man and His Master," "The Man and Ills Minister," "The Man and the Family Altar," "The Man and the Bible School," "The Man and the Boy," "The Man and Ills Com munity," "The Man and Education," The Man and Missions," "The Man end Personal Evangelism," will be presented by some of the leading Presbyterians of the state. Among the speakers are: A. C. Schmltt, of Albany; J. F. Ewing, E. C. Herlow, Judge E. C. Bronaugh, Dr. J. R. Wil son, Jesse J. Ross, all of Portland; R. B. Morton, of Pendleton, and W. Cragln, of McMlnnvllle. A round table conference and open parliament will be conducted by the national of ficers. Wednesday evening a popular mass meeting will be addressed by Dr. Landrlth and President Holt, and Dr. Foulkes, of Portland, the latter speaking upon the theme, "The Pa cific Presbyterian Brotherhood." Jlbsolutely Ture Renders the food more wholesome and su perior in lightness and flavor. The only baking powder tnada from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar. llaiiquet to Japanese Officers. The Japanese visiting fleet is in Puget Sound and has been invited by the Chamber of Commerce of Portland to that city, but Roar Admiral Ljichl declines to take the fleet so far inland but has excepted the invitation for himself and twelve of his officers and promises to arrive in Portland on the morning of June 7. The Japanese residents of the city will take the party In charge on their arrival and In the evening the Chamber of Commerce will banquet them at the Hotel Portland. The president of the chamber says that the banquet will be open to all mem bers of the organization and that few, If any. Invitations outside of the membership will be extended. It Is claimed that the banquet will be no ordinary affair. The Portland Chamber of Commerce has the good taste and Its members have the money to give the officers of the Japanese fleet a proper reception and banquet. The people of the state of Oregon will bo pleased with the courtesy extended to these visit ing strangers. WITH TUB CHIKCHKS 10 votes with a case of Sampson's i pears. ti:y Tin: monev-imck CUM'. H)l!

There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that Is by constitutional re medies. Deafness Is caused by an inirlnined condition of the lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed, deaf ness is the result, and unless the In flammation can bo taken out and this tube restored to Its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
