The Portland Chamber of Com
merce has inaugurated a fine
new plan for giving Oregon and
Portland a much-needed round
of advertising. The new idea is
to be christened "Letter Writing
Week,'.' and is to. be participated
in by every, residentrof Oregon.
The week set aside will probably
be the third week in January. On
this week every resident qf Port
land and Oregon will be expected
to write several letters to friends
and relatives in the East, extoll
ing the grajideur of our Oregoa
scenery, the immense crops, and
the value of our great cities and
small towns as resident, centers.
There will bo appointed by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce
professional let,ter,writgrs, whose
duties are to. set forth the' facts'
in their most alluring light3.

Another feature of the, cam
paigns will.be a giant letter box,
which will stand on Sixth street,
and into whi?h every one is ex
pected to deposit thejr letter,?,.
The box will be, so equipped that
an endless series of tramcars will
carry the mail to the postotjice.

kulpritg leavine no trail, There
was, however, outside in the al
ley the unmistakable tracka of a
wide-tired wagon, which had
been backed up to the rear door,
and the stuff loaded in. The rear
room, whch was used as a store
room, was almost depleated of
its abundant stock,' and nothing
of any consequence" was left.

front rponi, escaped completely

ception of one or two open pot

scattered qp and down'the alley.
Were the truth known, it has
been stated by several prominent
citizens, these depredations would
not have to be traced far to lo
cate the evildoers, ahd'if the case
was put into the' right' hands it
itwould doubtless result in some
startling discover! jb.' There are,
in and around Beaverton, several
places, which have been deserted
so' long they are musf y ' and in
fested only by lowly rats. Why
not keep, en, eye .otvsueh places
as these? Or else condemn them
and have them removed as a
public nuisance. . .. ' 1
