THK OAZKTTE-TIMES. HEPPXER. ORE., THURSDAY. PRO. 2S, IStS FflUSMHSr TO HEAD OF OREGON Clipped from The Oregon ian of December 10 V .:r I '.we joa any relatives or any fiis in that faraway region gen- :.. ; ik'-ribe! somewhat indeiinite !y aaJ iiuttlequciely as "back East?" Of course you have. What do they know about Oregon? Probably not much. Why (ii.n t you let them know something about it? Supply your own answers. Will you join in a campaign of uni ted effort, along with the other peo ple in Oregon, to bring this state to the attention of the remainder of the country? This latter question soon will be asked by the Portland Chamber of Commerce. In a form to fit each particular community of the state it will be asked by the people of all Oregon by their respective commercial organi-1 zations. It will be asked of the students of all t! e schools, the colleges and uni-'? vers-'tes and nothing but an affirma tive answer will be permitted. S :hat this idea of informing the folks "back East" of the particular attra 'ions of Portland and of Oregon may be thoroughly Impressed upon ever, resident of the state the Cham ber f Commerce has decided to set aside a "letter-writing week." Tho name suggests the object. During this one week probably the third week in January you are ex pected to write to all of your friends and your relatives and tell them of ' me oupfiiui ttiuacuuns ol ureson her attractions for the tourist, par ticularly and for the prospective set tler incidentally. Meanwhile, the Chamber of Com merce urged, try to think up ail the nice tilings you can about your city ""and state. Try to enumerate the ad vantages of visiting here if visiting ! here. If the climate appeals to you J as something worth mentioning that is, favorably why note it I down and when 'letter-writing week' rolls around, tell your Eastern ac quaintances about it. The same applies to the scenery. If you are a good letter writer you can compose a communication of your own, sufficiently appealing, no doubt, to attract some of your folks out here next Summer. That is the idea, anyway, of this ieLLer-wruing campaign. If you are not so handy at w riting letters, why some of the accomplish ed young men of letters around the headquarters of the Chamber will supply blank forms that you can fol low. These same young men now are working on various form letters to fit. almost every kind of situaton. They will prepare a letter to be sett to business acquaintances, only. It w iil be quite formal, but somewhat cheery in tone and cordial enough to make the man who receives it un derstand that the writer really is sin cere about asking him to come out and give this part of the country the "or?e over." Then there will a be set of letters, altogether different, to be sent to your boyhood or your girlhood chum:-. They will contain blissful reminders of some of the intimate incidents of early young manhood, ai.-i contrast them with the peculiar ar'ivUies of the Northwestern coun try i,i such a way that the friend of your yo'jth will want to take the next train for Oregon. The expert letter writers will not attempt, of course, to supply you with words for letters to your imme diate families, but they will deal out an abundance of facts and informa tion that you can use to fill in with when you write to the folks at home. Meanwhile they want everyone to pet busy and think of all the persons with whom they are on writing terms even those to whom you have nev er written, for that matter. When you think of them note down their names and addresses. Then you will be in shape to do your share of the good work during the established letter-writing period. This letter-writing idea has been under consideration by the Chamber officials for the past two or three weeks, and the more they considered it the more the plan appealed to them as a good, sensible, practicable way of bringing Portland and Oregon to the public attention. The whole scheme was turned over to the publicity and conventions bu reau, which proposes to labor with it until it is carried to a successful and glorious conclusion. Yesterday J. C. Ainsworth, chairman of this bureau, appointed the following committee to handle the details of the work: Julius L. Meier, chairman; Frank C. Riggs and Frank E. Smith. This, apparently, is a committee of many novel, original and effective notions of its own. One of the first acts was to arrange for co-operation with the postoffice officials. Postmaster Frank S. Myers was more than willing. So one big attractive of letter-writing week will be a giant mail box in the middle of Sixth street, Just west of the postoffice. At noon every day a big whistle will blow and everyone will be expected to deposit his letters in the giant box. A series of tram cars, operated by an endless chain de vice, will carry the mail from the bottom of the box to the postoffice. All this will be in direct charge of the officials and employes of the pos tal department. ! it ; i ' ; l It ' I !

"When the coffee market dropped because of the closing of many European coun tries to coffee importations, we "dropped" the retail price of ROYAL CLUB and GERMAN AMERICAN giving the consumer the benefit. We were the only coffee roasters on the Pacific Coast to give the public the bene fit of this reduced cost. Other roasters feared to reduce the price because of the necessity of raising it again when- the market should advance. They pocketed "the increased profit and said nothing. It has always been our theory that it pays to be "square" with the public that there is never anything lost by taking you into our confidence and giving you the benefit of any saving we ourselves enjoy. AVe had faith that you would appreciate the saving we had shared with you and would understand when necessity forced us to increase the mce again. That necessity is now a reality as shown by the article reproduced herewith. High grade coffees are advancing steadily. These highest-grade Central American coeffes together with the expensive Sumatras (used only in the most expensive blends) are all a part of the ROYAL CLUB blend. All have advanced decidedly.

Carpenter, man ager, has said: "Our plans are to give greater at tention to Western Farmer's stock department and to serve our entire circulation with special stock articles at frequent intervals.
