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.

"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.
ROYAL CLUB will advance to its former price of 40c January 1st. Lay in a sup
ply now at the old prices and save money. '

Two Farm I'apers Unite.
The consolidation of two of Ore
gon's leading farm papers took place
last rtonth when the Western Stock
Journal, published at Oregon City by
Judge Dimick, was absorbed by the
Western Farmer, of Spokane and
Portland. The purchase means that
the 6000 subscribers of the Western
Stock Journal have been added to
the Western Farmer's circulation
list.
Jn discussing the new policy of the
Western Farmer growing out of the
consolidation, D. L. 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.
"Subscribers to the Western Stock
Journal should feel very much grati
fied, as the change of publishers gives
them the opportunity of getting spec
ial stock articles from Western Far
mer's editor, E. E. Faville, a most
effcient agricultural editor and a man
whose activities in the betterment of
Northwest farm stock is attested by
his work as secretary of the Wash
ington Purebred Livestock Associa
tion and also as secretary of the Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana Swine Breeders' Association,
"The Western Stock Journal has
always been a high class stock publi
cation. In purchasing the journal
we feel that we have acquired a de
sirable property."
