PUSH O REG O N TO T H E F R O N T » ft— On April 29 last, The Oregonian published a special industrial edi tion, devoted exclusively to the ex ploitation of Oregon. It probably contained more special and miscel laneous information about Oregon than any one publication that has ever been issued. It is peculiarly useful and valuable to the home- seeker, because it g iu s the latest and most reliable information about so many different subjects that the homeseekr is naturally interested in Almost every department of indus try is specialized, and both descrip tive and statistical information of a highly valuable character is given extensively aud in entertaining form. Residents of Oregon who know it* advantages ae compared with the congested and depleted east, and who still have friends back there whom they woukl like to see here enjoying the good things of this fa vored state, can aid in a splendid work now without cost and very little effort. IPyou think your friend would be interested in knowing more about Oregon and might eventually become a valuable citi zen, send his name and address to the general passenger agent of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Co and a copy of this special edition, wi£h. a coTnplete summary of the several subjects treated, carefully indexed, will be mailed to him promptly. In this manner you may lie the means not only of doing your friend a good turn, but of helping to stimulate the growth and prosperity of Oregon.
