Many Emigrants Are Coining to the
Coast They Should be Directed to
the Unoccupied Sections.'
A few of the leading citizens of Port
land recently subscribed a fund amount
ing to over $16,000 for the purpose of
establishing a Bureau of Information for
the state. At a meeting of the sub
scribers to the fund Bve trustees, viz.,
Chas. E. Ladd, of Ladd & Til ton, bank
ers; W. M. Killiogsworth, capitalist and
real estate; T. D. Honeyman, of Honey
man Hardware Co.; W. II. Beharrell,
of Heywood Bros. Co., wholesale furni
ture, and R. C. Judson, industrial
agent for the O. R. A N. Co., were
elected trustees of the fund. These
trustees subsequently organized and
elected Chas. . Ladd chairman, W. M.
Killingsworth, searetary, and Ladd &
Tilton, bankers, treasurer. At a sub
sequent meeting of the trustees Colonel
Frank V. Drake was chosen superin
tendent. The purpose of this organization is to
ascertain and tabulate the resources of
the state, gather an exhibit of its pro
ducts and be prepared to tell all about
Oregon and the resources of the severs!
counties to all persons desiring inform
ation on the subject to direct settlers
and capital to opportunities awaiting
them in the state.
Concessions have been . granted by the
leading railroad and steamboat lines for
transmission from their various stations
. to Portland, free of charge, of all sam
ples and exhibits that may be sent to
the Bureau for display. Negotiations
are in active progress to obtain like con
cessions from all the transportation com
panies, with every prooability of ob
taining their co-operation. The en
couragement on this line is very 'gratify
ing. In the great exhibition room equal
space will be allotted to each county
desiring it for the display of its pro
ducts and resources and the distribution
of such descriptive printed matter as it
may forward for the purpose, each
county to have equally "fair show."
The board of trustees ask the citizens
of each county, at the earliest day
possible, to havo prepared u map of
each county, showing township lines
and drawn to scale of miles, on which
shall be designated all streams, county
roads, railroads, if any, navigable wat
ers, if any, harbors, if any, rnountain
ranges with principal elevations, and by
appropriate coloring and notes defining
the location of lands suitable for grains,
. flax, hops, - fruits and the like; also
grazing lands, mineral lands, timber
lands, arid sections, and such as are
available to irrigation; also the locations
of water powors, if any, cities and vil
lages with number of inhabitants and
schools in each, and such further in
formation as may be of public interest.
These maps are to be sent to the bureau
at Portland, where a set of uniform
maps will bo prepared for use by the
bureau and the originals returned.
With each map should be sent a con-
-cise statement, in suitable pamphlet
form, containing full data of crops of all
kindB, climate, mineral products, num.
ber and variotios of stock, manufactures,
mines, mills and the like.
Competent persons will be in charge
of the exhibition room to give informa
tion and distribute the literature with
out expense to localities 01 counties.
To Suppress New.
The Western Union has provided its
operator at the state house with a "se
cret sounder." This is a small instru
ment which is held to the operator's ear
by a spring over the top of tho head,
says ttie Salem Journal. It contains a
small sounder which checks off the tele
graphic signs in such a low sound as to
be inaudable exept to the operator.
Whilo the ordinary sounders were being
used an operator could stand a few feet
away and hear the message received.
Now there is no opportunity for eaves
dropping around the telegraph desk.
One of the operators employed at the
capitol during the lust session said:
'If my shoes could talk, what secrets
they would tell." Now not even the
operator's right ear hears. This is the
only secret soundor on the coast.
Aocltlent au Wallowa Hill.
Monday, reports the La Grande
Chronicle, while William Mars, of
Joseph, was driving a six-horse team
attached to two freight wagons which
were heavily loaded, at a point in the
Wallowa canyon not far from the Half
way house he happened to glance back
while going up the grade and saw to his
dismay, that the rear wagon was sliding
off the grade, the roads being icy. He
jumped, thereby saving himself from
serious injury, if not death. As tho
grade at this point is 30 feet above the
river, the whole team went down; but
while one horse was senonsly injured,
none were killed.

THE NEW POOR FARM.
Coat 911,000, bai 40 acre of alfalfa
1400 fruit tree.
The Charles Chapman farm, which the
county court recently bought to convert
into a poor farm, lies two miles west of
Pendleton at the point where the old
emigrant road crosses the McKay,
says the East Oregonian.
The bottom land is black loam, which
lies on the level of the creek bed and
is therefore sub-irrigated in a high de
gree. The farm contains today 40 acres of
alfalfa from which three crops are cut
each year, averaging rive tons of hay
per acre per year. There are 120 acres
of land that can be made to produce al
falfa, with sufficient water covered by
unquestionable water rights, to irrigate
the entire amount.
This 40 acres of bay land, producing
five tons of hay per acre, will yield the
county from 01500 to $2000 per year,
and it is the intention of the court to
sow more land to alfalfa each year, un
til the entire body of land available is in
a high state of productiveness.
There is one acre of strawberries and
an orchard of 1100 trees. Of this or
chard 1000 trees are winter apples free
from pests and thrifty. The trees were
purchased of Aaron Miller, of Milton,
and are now five years old. The var
ieties are so numerous that the list
could not be included in a short de
scriptive article. There are 400 assorted
pear, prune, plum, cherry, peach and
apricots, all bearing, thrifty and healthy
trees. Besides tho orchard, there are
every known variety of small fruits in
abundance raspberries, blackberries,
dewberries, rheubarb, currants,, goose
berries and grapes, besides a large bed
of asparagus.
The farm is in a high state of cultiva
tion, as Mr. Chapman has conducted a
market garden on a large scale, and has
paid the strictest attention to the care
and cultivation of the land.
Taken as a whole, the new county
poor farm is a complete home with pos
sibilities of largely 'increased value by
Beeding more to alfalfa and planting
more orchard. The purchase price was
811,100. .

Morning theme: "Living Epistles."
(Cor., 3-2.)
1. Living epistles are the most legible
kind. Some hand writing is difficult to
read; ideas as well as penmanship are
frequently indistinct; but living epistles
a child may read. Indeed we are
"Known and read of all men."
2, They are likewise the most con
vincing. With great elaboration emi
nent men have penned large volumes;
splendid arguments and evidences have
been adduced,in favor of chiiUianity.
But a christian life, a living epistle is
much more convincing.
3. Living epistles are most persua
sive. The christian lives of associates
have done more to win people to the
divine- standard than all other efforts.
The gospel truth embodied; the "word
made flesh," is mighty.
Living epistles are the most enduring;
because of their intrinsic worth they
havo often been counterfeited. Note,
too, that they aro more willingly read
by many.
Evening theme: "What Must I do to
be Saved?" Saved from what? Saved
in what sense? For what purpose
saved? This will be a full and frank
discussion of the question in the light
of the scriptures which boar on it uuder
the dinpensation io which we live. -
"WOULD BE CHEAP'
SPOKESMAN-REVIEW IS AFTER
WASHINGTON LEGISLATORS.
T-Aria1af am WKt Ufa Ca11 Ant a
alVgUtWVViS VV MV JUR WWU Wat V
Railroads for Less Than $20,000
Each, Will be Jobbed."
Under the above captian the Spokesman-Review,
which is leading in the
fight against the railroads of Washing
ton, and favors the commission plank in
the party platform, recently published
the following: .
Cold facts prove that Washington
legislators who may be selling out to the
railroads for less than $20,000 apiece
have put themselves on the bargain
counter.
They are being villainously "jobbed,"
either by the railroads direct, or else by
the middleman with his secret rakeoff.
One reason for the railroad fight
against the commission bill is that the
commission cause is coupled with a plan
to make the railroads pay their just
share of taxation. This alone would
save millions of dollars to the taxpayers
of Washington,
For example, if the railroads of this
state were taxed on the Massachusetts
basis they would annually pay nearly
$4,000,000 more than they are now re
quired to pay.
The figures, as given by the inter
state commerce commission in its an
nual report for 1900, page 07, are in
contestable. In Massachusetts the
railioada pay annual taxes of $1411.93
per mile. In Washington they pay
$173.97 per mile, a difference of $1237.96
per mile, or $3,713,880 for the 3000 miles
of railway in this state $7,427,760 for
the two years covered by the lifetime of
the present legislature.
It is entirely plain from these official
figures that the defeat of the commission
bill would be ridiculously cheap at a
million. If the lobby bought 50 votes
for $1,000,000 every member selling his
vote would be entitled to $20,000. ' But
rather than be forced to the Massachu
setts basis the railroads could afford to
pay $2,000,000 and then save $2,427,760
in taxes alone, to say nothing at all of
rates.
On this basis 50 vo tea would be worth
$100,000 each.
To legislators who are determined to
be dishonest grafters The Spokesman-
Review would say:
"Don't be a cheap skate." If you
are resolved to boodle, get what is com
irrg to you. Don't let the lobby buy
your vote for a mere trifle of a tnousand
or two. Don't allow them to flim-flam
you with any false plea of poverty. If
they try that, refer them to page 339 of
the report of the interstate commerce
commission for 1900, which shows that
the earnings of the Pacific coast rail
roads are greater per train mile then the
earnings of any other group of railroads
in the United States. x
