VM. 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.

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."

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.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach tho diseased portion of the ear.
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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
