Tom Lawson Breaks into Print; "Discovers" Oregon is on Map

BY THOMAS W. LAWSON. Author of "Frenzied Finance." Portland, Ore., July 31. For a language juggler to so string words that his audience will see things is the easiest stunt of the writing game. To biograph his picture so that they will Corot the imagination, engrave the memory and tch the very soul of his readers' mentality is another and rarer feat, one which can only be flagged with the lantern of fact swung with the fist of truth. The trouble with the world and we puny two-legged crawlers on its stubbly surface is our vision is in a chronic state of gush inundation, we are all victims of the self-interested kodaker. The etheral world picture of the any-thing-to-sell-town-lots boomer as it appears in the railroad anything-to-make-transportation pamphlet, visions as good as, or better than the bubbling-from-the-heart reality photograph of the skeptic who has first to be shown. Thus it is the modern life, social, political, business, is a-Jam with unbelievers. "Don't give me that, Ive heard it a million times before and about Mudville-on-the Meadows. Pizen-on-the-Peaks and a thousand and one other no-good localities." is the comment frequently heard at the end of an enthusiastic flieht anent the unusual advantages of this or that new country. If it were if it only were a penitentiary offense to overstate, what an easy job you Oregonians would have tin turning your God-favored state into jone unvacant-lot city; if it were only in the power of mortal to vision to the .indolent capiral-barnacled hordes of ithe East and Europe what I have actuj ally seen and bit into during the past I two months, inside of five years Ore- ; gon's marvelous strides would be the i wonder of the world. I came to Oregon over eight weeks ago came to stay three or four days. If it were possible I would stay on and on and longer. Quite a fat statement, for a very busy nan to honestly make. (Interpreted, it reads: "Oregon is the best country I have ever seen." An even farter statement, but I mean every word of it It is common belief amongst surface thinkers that a stranger is not as well qualified to size the advantages of the ; place he visits as the dweller thereof. ;A11 wrong. Familiarity with the advantages and the outs of a locality ; blurs the vision to the goods and 'acmes it to the bads. Let me tell you (why I say Oregon is the best place I (have ever known, but before I start in must prelirninarize a bit I have no i self-interest in saying what I do I"m j more or less an expert on the "nnufsual" of man and nature I've hunted 'em. studied 'en and high-iow-jaeked jVm in all parts of the world and under 'ail conditions. Which means I know j the unusual when I see it. I have seen as good people as Orejsoniar.a; I have tubbed in as exhili-

I have seen as wonderful woods (as marvelous mountains as exquisite rivers and- shores and beaches; I have seen as rich farms and orchards and ranches and as relined cities, and have touched finger tips to as remarkable money-making possibilities as those I have seen and actually known in my two months' investigation of Oregon, but I have never seen, and I believe no man has ever seen in any part of the world, old or new, all these in combination (unless possibly in the Washington and Idaho country adjacent to Oregon.) More, I do not believe there exists in all the world a country which possesses 60 per cent of Oregon's advantages; from the bottom of my soul I mean this. Sixty days investigation of a country as vast and as unsettled as Oregon may not mean much to some, but as I have done it, on the go from early morning until late at night, living almost ilVlhe time in automobiles and with, my f J-ilities to get at people and 4itothe jde of things, and with my ajrf experiences tinned to my sleevV, Isay, I Iiqw" your possibilities better than majjy of you who have bunked with them fyl your lives; I have seen ypur peopflp, all classes, in their home, at their business and at their play- fViaw inspected your orchards, rode ypur ranches, tramped your woods, gmnbed your mountains and waded your streams, looked on open-mouthed at the reaping of your grain and your alfalfa: I have traveled on your railroads, sailed your superb rivers, breasted your grand ocean and basked on your exquisite beaches, and all the time I have kept a weasel eye and a ferret scent for flukes and flaws, but, with my hand on my heart and my heart a-saddle my conscience I say, unqualifiedly. I believe there is no place in all the world which holds forth within 40 per cent the advantages to man. be he young or old, be he rich or poor, triple refined or in the raw, as Oregon. And more, my belief is as firmly rooted that there does not exist in all the world a country which holds for capital small capital or bloated capital Zf per cent the advantages of Oregon. I mean 50 per cent of the all round advantages. Yes, I realize the tremendousness cf my statement, but I make it not because I have to or because it is to my personal advantage, but solely because I deem it my duty to humanity particularly the sweating, crusher, despairing hordes of the crowded East, to hang my pointer to the fast multiplying sign boards which face toward an easily attainable Paradise, and more, I stand . ready, with pen or voice, to prove that my belief is soundly foundationed.

Would to the Lord I had found them earlier, but I thank Him that I have found them in time to point them to my children and I pray that He will let me live long enough to see with my eyes the fulfillment of the vision that is as clear to me as yonder snowcapped mountain. After swinging the circle of your state I sought a resting place to cud the wonders I have seen. Experience has shown me there are few resting places. I have found many places where one could loll, laze and loaf, but few where one could rest mind, heart, soul where one could sleep and dream with open eyes and throbbing heart and soaring soul to the moaning and the groaning and the lullabying of all Mother-Nature. Such a rest means a spot far from the crowd, near to the woods and streams, the ocean and the mountains, a place where the deep-sea denizens and their shelled cousins play with the speckled zchildren of the brooks, where the forest monarchs hold converse with their four and two-footed domesticated brothers, where the giant firs and the trailing wild cucumbers and the salmon berries pat the ocean rollers; it means all these things so near to the hives of man that running water, dainty beds and the luxuries of the table are so plentiful that nne's rest is not jarred with reminders of the missing city's comforts. I found such a place, and, would you believe it. at the end of ten days the jolliest ten days of my life, when hey told me I must get back to harness, I wept. The host and his good wife, when they wished us godspeed, asked: "Have you rested?" "In all my life I have never worked so hard, 1 aave never rested so restfully, I have never seen the match for you and your home-like inn. Say to all inquirers from me that of ail the for man and beast nooks of Europe and America I have never seen your equal your equal for all that goes to make man contented with the day, and with the night, and with himself contented in his contemplation of the misting yesterdays, the glowing todays and the beckoning tomorrows."

It is related of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the dramatist and statesuiau. that, always iu debt, he bad among his creditors ibe brothers Chalie, who were th partners iu a wine firm In 1775. Oue day wben be was giving a dinner party to some distinguished people SUeridau sent for oue of the brothers, told him be was now able to settle his account and Invited him to the dinner party, asking him to come before the hour for some private conversation. Chalie arrived early, and be was no sooner in the bouse than Sheridan sent ' off a servant with a uote to the clerk. ' desiring him. as Mr. Chalie was favoring him with his company, to send as soon as possible three dozen of burgundy, two dozen of claret and two) dozen of port, with a dozen of old hock. The unsuspecting clerk sent the wine, with which the guests were so pleased that they asked where It came from. Sheridan, turning toward Chalie, said, "1 am indebted to my friend here for all the wine you hare tasted and am always proud to recommend him. It was not until the following morning tbat Chalie realized the double meaning In Sheridan's words. Tho debt was canceled. Answering the Dean.
