AND NOW THEY. ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER
For a good many year The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
aeriea of experiments having aa their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it ia interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just aa cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burley tobacco, grown
m this country; toasted it aa you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
"LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette,"
and offered them to the public. '
The result has been the greatest demand
jpver created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time. -y-
The change produced by toasting ia not
only most wholesome, but the flavor ia
greatly improved, just aa cooking improvea
meat, for example.

Instead of Going After Things to
Benefit Oregon, Mr. Harley Bays
State's Representation Only
Writes Polite Letters.
By F. C. HARLEY, Mayor of Astoria
.Washington,' Feb. 4. (Special)
Your Uncle Samuel, Bitting at the
head of the Nation's table, around
which are gathered his big family
of states, has "With generous hand
been carving and passing along
choice morsels to his favorite sons.
But how- has-Oregon, fared at this
festive board?
Well, "Old Man Oregon," as we af
fectionately call him at home, has
been getting the crumbs the leav
ings. The prime cuts went to those
states that made known their wants
in unmistakeable terms. Oregon
forlorn and neglected, sat off at the
far corner, too bashful, too modest
to make a noise like a regular board'
er, and naturally was overlooked.
Request at Least Needed.
Put this down for a fact: Every
day will be meatless day for the guy
who won't demand meat when he
sees it brought in on the platter.
In the past two years I have been
frequently in Washington trying to
do something for Oregon, for the Col
umbla river and for my town, Astor
ia. It has not been my privilege to
put my feet under Uncle Sam's ma
hogany, so to speak; only the elect
or the elected the members of the
Senate and the House of Represents
tives are invited guests at the feast
But from the gallery above I have
been an Interested onlooker, and my
bird's-eye view has enabled me to see
some things the banqueters' did not
observe.
Getting down to brass tacks, and
calling a spade a spade, I am speak
ing, of course, of governmental re
cognition extended to other states
contrasted with recognition extended
to Oregon. Never in history has this
government of ours made such vast
appropriations as in the past two
years; never before has it let so many
contracts or had so many favors to
bestow upon states and communities
that were able to supply its wants
provided they had the backbone to
insist upon getting a fair share.
Oregon's Share Small.
The war business alone: What has
Oregon gotten out of that? Only the
crumbs, as I said before.
Oh, yes, Oregon Is building ships.
Sure. But why? Because the Ship
ping Board had to have ships, and
could not get as many as it needed on
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, That's
Don't let him get like this

i irui'i
why Oregon got ship contracts. But
Oregon has not got as many contracts
aa Its yards can handle; not by a jug'
full. Tberea a reason.
And spruce. Yes, the government
la buying spruce in Oregon, millions
of feet of it, because It can't get it
anywhere else, except In Washington.
Oregon and Washington have all thb
spruce there Is. The East can't fur
nish it; the South can't furnish it; it
doesn't grow in the middle West. So
Oregon is now selling spruce to the
government for aeroplanes.
Other States Get Rewards.
But while Oregon is selling the
spruce, Oregon is not manufacturing
that spruce into aeroplanes. They
are building aeroplanes in Washing
ton; building them in California, in
Michigan, Illinois, New York and
Connecticut building them of Ore
gon spruce.
Why don't Oregon manufacturers
with all that spruce right at hand,
have a chance to build aeroplanes?
Why doesrf't Oregon labor have a
chance to turn out the finished prod
uct instead of the raw material,only"
Why don't some of the vast-Sums
paid out to labor in aeroplane factor
ies go to Oregon workmen?
' But lets see how Oregori has fared
in other lines of war activity. Last
Spring, when the draft bill passed, In
fluential Senators got busy at the
War Department and when the 32
Army cantonments, costing $7,000,
000 to $8,000,000 apiece, were loca
ted, they went to states whose sen
ators had been most persistent' in
their demands on Secretary Baker.
No cantonment was built in Ore
gon. They went, some of them, on
wind-swept sand dunes; into river
bottoms; one of them in the South
went into a bog. Washington got
one and should have had it., Amer
lean Lake today is one of the finest
cantonments. But Oregon did not
get one.
Oregon's Wants Ignored.
The people of Oregon wanted a
cantonment; they petitioned their
delegation for it; the telegraphed and
wrote for It. But "Old Man Oregon,"
as personified in Congress, did not
raise his feeble voice, and the canton
ments went to states whose senators
were not backward about coming for
ward. Therefore, if It was not un
patriotic nor selfish for other Sena
tors to ask then It was not unpatriot
ic or selfish for Oregon to expect to
participate in the distribution of the
war pie. -
How many soldier's lives that have
been snuffed out In improperly loca
ted cantonments by pneumonia and
spinal meningitis might have been
saved had even one of these canton
ments been built In Oregon, where
conditions are healthful; where the
Winter has been mild; where epidem
ics are unknown? -
Not only Oregon, but the Army it
self has been the sufferer because
Oregon did not get fair recognition
in this matter.
Portland Practically Ignored.
And where and how is the Army
buying its supplies? Is there a gen
eral purchasing depot at Portland?
No only a branch office that buys
mainly for Vancouver Barracks. Se
attle has a general depot; San Fran
cisco has a general depot; Portland
has a dinky little subordinate pur
chasing office. Yet the Army Quar
termaster today Is one of the busiest
buyers In the American market, his
purchases run into the millions mon
thly, and he buys according to his
rank and importance of his office.
Oregon today hasn't got a single
Army post within .Its borders, unless
you want to class antiquated and ne
glected Fort Steven., as a "post."
When Senator Warren was chairman
of the military affairs committee he
got appropriations year after year,
until he had built up Cheyenne the
biggest and most thoroughly equip
ped post in all the United States,
Fort D. A. Russell.
Oregon has no Fort Russell; it has
only Fort Stevens, a seacoast "defen
se", so notoriously behind the times
that a hostile fleet headed for Port
land would with a single broadside
blow It sky high and steam on up the
Columbia without even hesitating.
Its normal garrison is about 200 men.
What defense have we, anyway, at
the mouth of the Columbia River?.
The Army War College, our highest
military authority, says the Columbia
River is the natural gateway to our
Western interior. I came to Wash
ington two years ago to get an appro
priation for a naval base on the Col
umbia. The necessity for naval de
fense of our river was apparent; the
need has since been testified to by the
Helm Board. But has the Columbia
been provided with adequate defen
se? ' Not a dollar.
The Atlantic Coast ports are well
defended; they have had Influential
and active representation In Con
gress; the Gulf Coast harbors are all
better defended than our harbors,
though less liable to attack, but the
Oregon coast and the Columbia River,
after all the warning sounded, is as
inadequately defended today as it
was at the outbreak of the European
war.
Oregon Gets Only a Report.
All we've got, after two years Is
a report a report Secretary Daniels
didn't even consider when he sent his
estimate to Congress in December.
And that report is all we're going to
get for some time, unless the Oregon
delegation awakens out of Its lethar
gy. Aa for appropriations, generally,
what has Oregon obtained from Con
gress in recent years? Well, it usual
ly got what the Secretary of the
Treasury, was kind enough to recom
mend, but not always that The
House took the river and harbor es
timates for Oregon, as for other sta
tes, and grouped them into a river
and harbor bill; that bill would pass,
and go to the Senate; there millions
would be added for other states,
but no additional appropriations
were authorized for Oregon not in
late years. Oregon has been getting
what the House allowed, and no
more. The Senate has not raised
the House's ante not for Oregon. .
Surveys and Promises Are All.
And irrigation projects! What a
record? Here Is Oregon dumping
more money than any other state ex
cept -North Dakota, into the reclama
tion fund, and getting back a fraction
of what It put in. If the law had not
been amended some years ago, Ore
gon would have fared better, but that
is past. The reclamation law was en
acted In 1902; Oregon was early al
lotted two projects; neither of them
is anywhere near finished yet, though
begun 15 or. If years ago, and as for
new projects, ail Oregon gets Is sur
veys and vague promises of some
thing to come in the dim and distant
future. In irrigation matters, Ore
gon is the goat.
Of course Oregon has had a few ap
propriations for public buildings; its
National forests are administered af
ter a fashion; it has got a couple of
fish hatcheries, and a lot of sundry
items of that sort. But what do they
amount to? Look what other states
are getting.
Other States Reap Harvest.
When it came to passing the Ore
gon & California land grant bill, Ore
gon didn't get anything like what it
was entitled to; it got what an active
little bunch of conservationists said
it should take. The Oregon delega
tion was simply shoved aside and
told, "You take what we give you."
What is the result?- Millions of dol
lars that will come from the sale of
grant lands and grant timber are go
ing Into all the other states that had
no legitimate interest in or any claim
to our land whatsoever.
What's the reason for all this?
Why -its perfectly clear to anyone
who will spend a few weeks in Wash
ington watching the Oregon delega
tion at work it's hardly fair to use
that word let's say, watching the
Oregon delegation perform.
We've got in Congress a fine bunch
of letter-writers; they write nice, po
lite communications requesting this
and that be done; they never Insist.
But letter-writing is all wrong down
here. Letters don't get you any
where in official Washington.
Action Is Required.
The Senator who delivers the goods
to his state is the Senator who doesn't
depend on letters, but who puts on
his hat, calls a taxi, rides down to see
Secretary This or Secretary That, and
talks turkey straight from the shoul
der, requesting nothing, but stating
very plainly and directly what he ex
pects for his state and why he expects
it. And be doesn't do these things
till he's posted on his subject. He
knows what his state needs; what it
can dp along a certain line; what It
is entitled to, and all about it.
Jn other words, the Senator who
delivers the goods Is, by training, a
business man, accustomed to busi
ness methods. He knows his goods;
he knows how to dicker; he shows
some pep as well as knowledge, and
he carries home the bacon.
We've got to have such men repre
senting Oregon or we'll continue to
pay the penalty for supporting a fine
young bunch of "ready letter wri
ters." We need men who know Ore
gon, and, knowing the state, know
how to present Oregon's case at
Washington. Congress is filled with
lawyers; but we are not living In the
age of law; we are living in an age
of business big business. We need
business men to look after our inter
ests. If we don't pick them we won't
get our share of Uncle Sam's busi
ness; we'll get crumbs. (From the
Portland Oregonlan, Sunday, Febru
ary H, 1918.)
Time For War Risk Insurance Ex
tended. The following telegram has been
received by the State Council of De
fense for Oregon from George F. Poi'
ter; Chief State Councils Section,
Council of National Defense, Wash
ington, D. C.
"The time ,for filling applications
for war risk insurance has been ex
tended by Congress until April 12th.
Automatic insurance, however, has
ceased entirely and no man is now
insured by the government unless he
has applied. This makes voluntary
application doubly important.
The time limit originally set was
February 12, but the extension grant
ed by Congress is due to the large
number of men who have so far
availed themselves of the opportunity
to take the Insurance. Relatives and
friends of enlisted men are urged to
call their attention to the extended
time in order that every man will
yet have a chance to put in his appli
cation for the war risk insurance.
