This state does hot object to the tourists, for a tourist pas sing through Oregon Is easily trans formed Into a homebuilder, if the right work is done.

The thousands of letters sent East to local papers from people who have become enamored of the country have helped. The shipments of. fresh fruit and can ned fruit and dried fruit have helped. The big conventions have helped to ed ucate the country about us to adver tise California. Enough, the list might be extended indefinitely, f There are literally hundreds of forces which have contributed t& establishing California's present pre-eminence. But any one or all of them would not have produced the effect which has been secured if they had not been welded together by the greatest of all ADVERTISING. "No state, as a state, has ever, been advertised so generally. No name used to designate any particular section of the -globe has ever been" so thoroughly dinned into the ears and displayed be fore the eyes of the world as this word CALIFORNIA. And you are part of It. Being so. Is it good business sense for you to attempt to alter the good opin ion which someone may now hold of any particular part of the state. Re member that the reputation has been built for California as a whole a state hundreds of miles long,! embracing every variety of climate known to the eastern' resident and others of .which he has merely dreamed, offering him all of the eastern vocations as well as hun dreds which are as. mysterious to him as those of the Orient. .

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY The Registration Aleady Ex ceeds Last Years High est' Record AN INCREASE OP FIFTY PER CENT QVKR THE PAST SCHOOL TEAR EXPECTED IT IS EXPECTED THE DEBT WILL BE PAID VERT SOON. (From Saturday's Daily.) Willamette University Is booming, and its growth this year exceeds the fondest hopes and dreams of Its friends. Testerday the registration of students In the College of Liberal Arts was 201 one more than the high: water mark of last year and President John H. Coleman predicts that the number will reach 300 by January 1st, next, as stu dents are constantly arriving, and many more have been heard from who will enter later, having been detained with work on the farms and in the fruit orchards throughout the state, - President ColemaA Is Jubilant over the splendid prospects. He thinks that, at the present rate of progress made 4n the subscriptions for the payment jpf the debt of the University, more than enough will be subscribed by '. Christ mas to pay all of the indebtedness of the old school, when active work will begin to increase the endowment to a much larger figure than it now is. President Coleman goes to The Dal If s on next Sunday, where he will begin the active campaign for the win ter in the interest of the pioneer school, and from this time orr he will probably fill the pulpit of some Methodist church in the state nearly every Sunday, when he will put in sledge-hammer biows for Willamette University, thus Insuring by his, active and able work a bright future' for Salem's old and honored Institution of learning. The year's sports at the University promises to be the best ever had in Salem. Football again Is taking up the thoughts of the young athletes at the school, and yesterday a suoscrip tlon paiier was circulated at the Unl ver'sKy for the purpose of raising funds for the winter's work. In one half hour $110 was secured and more money Is in sight for the purpose of fostering the field contests of the college boys. A PIONEER PREACHER REV. T. F. ROYAL, OF SALEM. VIS ITS OLD SCENES 1ST ROGUE RIVER VALLEY. (From Sunday's Daily.) Rev. T. F. Royal, of Salem, the plon- heer Methodist preacher, who has been visiting in Ashland during the week, revives memories of the early days in Jackson county. In the Spring of 1853 when the mining excitement was on good ani strong, considerable of a re ligious emigration arrived in Jackson ville most ofthem coming from the middle and western slates of the Un Ion. Among the number was the Meth odist preacher. Rev. Joseph B. hinitn, whi was assigned to the- Jacksonville charge, and who afterwards was elect ed to Congress As a Democrat. He oc ean the erection of a church In Jack sonville which was uswd as a Jolirt idace of worship by the Methodists and Presbyterians. It ' was afterwards r-e moved to the place where it now stands and completed by the Rev. T.- F, Royal ii-hi ( now In hit 82d year, and who attended the session of the Oregon Conference at Grant's, Pass last week Mott of the funds to build the original structure were collected by two youngl la MisMest Royal ' and OverbecK Thev went from miner's camp to min amn. Boflcitins' funds- for the work, and donations of dust and nug eets were most liberal. They wer flush times In those early day those days of gold and the sporting element and ramblers also chipped in quite uo erally to start the building of the new church. . It was in 1854 that the Rev. T. F. TinvaJi who succeeded Rev. Jos. Smith as pastor, completed the Jacksonville church. The lot on which it stood was donated to the Conference by James niuc-raee. and the work finished by Tvie & McDonough and David Linn The building was dedicated in the fall of '54 by the Rev. J. H. Wilbur, who was the presiding elder of the Wilbur restrict The Royal family have ever since those early days been prominent in Methodist church affairs In the Oregon Conference. Ashland Tidings. MANY NEW BUILDINGS XOW IN COURSE OF ERECTION IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF OREGON. (From Saturday's Dally.) A stranger In Salem might think the -lt was having a boom: but it ts jum a good, steady, healthy- growth: ! The several large blocks going up on State and Liberty streets ere being nurnea to canvnletlon by large forces or wore men, and If the fair weather continues for a few days, nearly mil will be well iimlr fOVr. .,......, t rtn the sneusloff . building, corner of ,j T.ihrtT streets, s, force of aive men is working under the dl rection of Contractor Richard Ely, -who i in (bam of the work.

SCOTT IN EUROPE : HIS TRIP. SAID TO BE IN INTER EST OF IIIS SENATORIAL . . : : CAMPAIGN. -(Ftom Sundays Dally.) -IL W. Scott, editor of the Portland Morning Oregonian, arrived today in Liverpool, England. Mrs. Scott is with him. They will tour the continent, re maining away from be United States until January, when the Legislature wilt meet; Politicians are asserting with posi tive assertions that Mr. Scott was pre-c vailed upon by, some of his friends to leave America and entrust the man agement of a campaign for United States Senator from Oregon in the hands of those friends. The Muttomah CoVnty Republican Legislative delegation will probably in dorse Mr. Seott for, the United States Senate. The matter is now being ar ranged. Mr. Scotfs managers, who were. given the task of electing him to the Senate, are-' conducting a quiet campaign anl inducing members or the county Mega tlon to promise to vote for Mr. Seott. It I understood that a namlK-r are already pleilged, and that Mr. .Scott's managers are conn- dent that they will convince the re mainder that it wilt to their inter est Ui vote for Mr." Scott. A3 a consequence of the assertions thfrt Mr. Scott has gone o. Europe to permit his munaKers to elect him to the United States 'Senate, the other candi dates are "feelin' mighty 1lne. A well informed politician told The Journal today that he knew that Mr. C. W. frUlton appreciatwl the" dangers to bis candidacy of the present situation, and that he felt that he might lose the lead he Is now conceded to hold over his op ponen!8. " One thing has developed opponents of Mr. Scott will ierhaps be able to defeat him. inasmuch as he becomes the most conspicuous candidate from this time on, and will therefore be the target at which all will shoot. The Senatorial candidates are being mixed with other matters and prospective legislation, as usual, is going to be In oculated with the virus of trading and dealt and secret agreements. Portland Evening Journal, Saturday, Oct. 4. KANTNER COMING HOME AFTER EXTENDED VISIT TX HIS , ; BOYHOOD HOME IN THE EAST. Rev. W. C. Kantner, pastor of the First Cons:regational Church, of this city, who has been spending his vaca tlon at his boyhood home and tne scenes of his former labors n Penn sylvania, wired yesteiday that he will arrive in Portland this (Tuesday) morning. He will probably reach home on the 11 o'clock train today. That Mr. Kantner has been busy even while enjoying his vacation Is evi- lenced by articles in Pennsylvania lo cal newspapers received by a friend here. He preached on every Sabbath excepting the last one, while In Penn sylvania. He had three calls to hold services on that Sabbath, but was ob lized to decline them. Following are clippings from the articles mentioned: "Rev. W. C. Kantner, pastor at Terre Hill about 17 years ago, now pastor of a Congregational church at Salem, Or- visited his many friends of Terre HiH and community and preached in both the Evangelical and United Evangel! cal Churches over Sunday last. By previous arrangement there were union ervlc-s of thse two congregations. In the morning the services were conduct ed in the Evangelical Church and in the evening In the United Evangelical Church. The audience on both occa slons were very large and Intense In terest was manifested. The theme of the morning sermon was The Heroism of the Church;' that of the evening ser mon The Christian's Hoi.' Both ser mons were delivered very eloquently and were full of very apt Illustrations which assisted the minds of the hear ers to retain the precious truth spoken The visit was much appreciated by both' Rev. K. and his many warm friends of Terre Hill and communMy; a longer stay would have been desir able. He left on Monday noon for his native home In Creesona. Schuylkill DO YOU GET UP WITH ALAJIE BACK?
