An up-state victim writes The Jour nal r questing that the public be warned against agents who sell sutur ban lots in Portland at prices far be yond their value. He purchased a lot on representations of boom literature sent broadcast to all kinds of people. The literature contained gilded statements of glitter ing profits to be made by a purchase. The purchase was made, and after wards an investigation. The investi gation revealed that the lot was miles distant from the city and that it bad been purchased at several times Its true value. There is one rule that buyers should adopt. First, they should bear in mind that Oregon has been passing through a period of inflation and spec ulation, and that the process Das brought on a vast crop of boomers with various plans of getting rich quick and easy by real estate manipu lation. They are not legitimate real estate agents. There are many realty firms who are substantial, stable and de pendable They do a square business and patrons are perfectly tiafe in their hands. It is the cormorants and camp fol lowers of the business that must be voided. They are harmful to the business and harmful to Portland. Their same in some instances is nothing short of a confidence process. There is. however, one rule that will aave buyers from being victimized. They should make it a rule never to buy a lot without first personally in specting it. To buy without such in spection is to take a chance, that has yielded many a victim. GERMANS SEEKING LANDJN OREGON Tour Being: Made of State To Secure Agricul tural Tracts Oregonian : Through the agency of the agricultural committee of the Oregon Banker's Association, three or four representatives of a colony of German farmers row are looking over available agricultural Itind in the state with a view to purchasing enough land to accomodate 3500 people.

The people with which it is proposed to populate the land, which the-e men are seeking, now live in various parts of the United States and Canada, while some will come uircet from their homes in Germany.

Frequently an advertiser decides to withdraw his support from newspapers on the ground that he is not getting any returns from bis outlay. Ninety-nine times nut of a hundred the fault lies with himself. He either does not live up to the promise of his advertisement or his clerks are inattentive and careless. There are a thousand ways in which an advertiser can kill the value of his publicity work. Advertising, to be valuatle, must be backed up with performance : witn eourteous and honest treatment: with a desire to make the casual customer a permanent bujer. When trie public reads that a et re has something of stated worth to sell at a stated price and finds that quality is lacking, that customer is apt to look askance at all otner premises the mer chant may make in bis advertising. There is a good deal of truth in some one's remark conctrnirg adver tising that when "our odorless kerosene ftove is not smelling, our overshoe! are leiking " waierprooi , r 0 vn Four Everywhere throughout the United St;esis in progress a moral uplift sued as the world has never witnessed.

Tammany is objecting seriously to the appointment ot National Commit tce;;.ar, 11:. ot Portland, aa a mem her of the Hoard of Customs Appraisers at New York.

A, Worthington, of Portland, was in Lakeview this week, on business before the U. S. Land OHlce.
