Frineville formerly , belonged to the State Chamber of ; Commerce, but this year paid no at-; tention to an inquiry sent out re- j questing an official and up-to-date ; list of officers. Wheninterviewed by W. F. Brown of the Ochoco Land Co., as to why ; Prineville, was left out, Mr. Brewer! of the State Chamber stated that j they had written three letters to the j Prineville Commercial Club, and as there had been no response, they took it for granted that the organi-; ration had passed out of existence.' Steps should be taken at once to see 1 that Prineville gets back, in favor with the State Chamber. j Agricultural development and land ( settlement are the principal planks In the platform of the Oregon State ! Chamber of Commerce. How to ad-i Tertise our state and interest the prospective settlers; how to sell to, bim the agricultural possibilities of t our state are the problems upon which this organization has been ' working consistently and untiringly. The following is a summary of the plan the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce has for bringing new set tlers to different parts of Oregon, as outlined in the latest news letter of the organization: "That the time has arrived when this state should bend every effort toward fostering rural immigration is evidenced by a tew figures from the census report tor 1920. These figures show that the average densi ty ot population throughout the United States was 35.5 persons per square mile of land area. Califor nia has 22 per square mile, Wash ington 20.3, while Oregon has only 8.28. The rural population of the neighboring state of Idaho at the last census was 312,829. The gain in Idaho for the past ten years was twice as great as for Oregon. In other words, the state of Oregon, which is second to none In agricul tural possibilities, is actually losing ground in rural immigration, com pared to adjoining states. Oregon has many inducements to offer the prospective settler, but In ducements must be advertised. The irrigated areas of the state have in creased no less than 100 percent, during the past ten years, and there is a prospect of a greater reclama tion program from the funds avail able through the proposed Smith Fletcher Bill and other sources. The Federal Farm Loan Act will be one of the great factors in the agricul tural prosperity of the state. The ambitious road program now under way will be of great help to our small farmers. The small fruit in dustry will receive great impetus if the proposed $10,000,000 corpora tion for financing and developing canneries in Oregon and Washing ton becomes a reality. The Logged Off Land Bill which was passed by the last session of the legislature, providing for the organization of im- in motor car' peratioa The manufacturer of your automobile recommends, la the Instruction Book for your car, that the crankcase b drained out and flushed and then refilled with fresh oil at regular intervals. This is necessary because engine operation causes a steady accumulation of road dust, carbon, fine metal par ticles and other impurities in the crankcase oil This gritty Oil circulates through your engine, impairs its performance nd ultimately leads to rapid depreciation and repairs. But cleaning the crankcase is a job generally disliked nd neglected. To meet this need, Modern Crankcase Cleaning Service has been established by first-class garages and other deal ers co-operating with the Standard Oil Company. These garages and dealers use Calol Flushing Oil, the scien tific agent that cleans out old oil, dirt, grit and other Impurities, and does not impair the lubricating efficiency of fresh oil used. The cleaned crankcase is refilled with the correct grade of Zerolene. Look for the garage or dealer displaying the sign shown below it means "Better operation and longer engine life. STANDARD OIL COMPANY ICaliforok) 'is MODERN CRANKCASE CLEANING SERVICE We uw CALOL RUSHING OIL AM ZEROLENE fin-better operation. and Ion engine i proved districts ot rogged-oft and burned-off lu mis will open up still further areas tor agricultural development. It is evident, therefore, that the problem of the future development ot the state Is a problem of sufficient advert'siug only. After careful con sideration ot all unities of this pro blem we believe that we have evol ved a plan which will bring results. For months this olttce has kept ki touch with the general situation In the middle western states, west ot the Mississippi, including Pakotas, Iowa. Kansas. Nebraska. Colorado, Wyoming. Montana and I'tah with a view ot sounding out the senti ment in the various communities In these states. Many Inquiries have been received from these sections ot the country withiu the last few mouths which disclose the fact that many farmers are coutemplating a move westward. Many different ways of advertis ing have been tried. The State Chamber hus found that the most effective meuus of advertising is a personally conducted campaign with a man on the ground. Believing that the time, is at hand tor the de velopment ot a broad-gauge plan for advertising Oregon, the executive committee of the State Chamber of Commerce is planning to .send ad vance agents to this section ot the country this spring armed with data on the agricultural and Industrial resources of this state. These men will personally Interview the farm ers ot the different communities and. cooperating with the railroads serv ing these communities, will gather together a large group who will move to Oregon in a body upon a fixed schedule and a certain date. Cooperation from the railroads serving this state has been assured. The homeseekers rates which were suspended during the war are again in effect and definite assurance have been received that the railroads will cooperate with the proposed plan. Arriving in Oregon, the party will be met at various points by. automo biles and a personally conducted tour over the entire state would be gin. Representatives of the State Chamber would bewith the party at all times and every effort will be made to direct the party to the ex act localities in which they are interested. The routing of the party through Oregon would be iu the hands of a committee from the State Chamber. This committee would select the most favorable itinerary which would enable the Bettlers to investi gate the wool and wheat growing sections, the irrigated lands, fruit districts and all the agricultural and industrial resources ot the state. Great care would be used in select ing this itinerary, so that every re presentative district of the entiie state would be covered by the party in the shortest space of time consist ent with a thorough investigation. The principal object of the trip Is to show the middle western farmer what can be raised In Oregon, the cheapness and fertility of the land and the potential resources of the state in general. One of the duties, of the advance agent, operating in the middle west, would be to find out from each prospective settler ex actly the part of the state iu which he is interested and he will be di verted to this locality. The different commercial organi zations throughout the state will ap point committees who will secure specific tracts of land for sale on ap praised values based on crop produc tion. The party would be made up, not only of farmers, but of bankers and business men who would be interest ed in the industrial as well as tho agricultural possibilities of the state. To those who are interested primarily lu the Industrial possibili ties, many sections of the state will have a great appeal. The cheap ness of water and power and the re sources awaiting development would be impressed upon them. t'pon arrival in Oregon the party would be entertained by the various commercial organizations along the route. Advance preparations would be made for their reception and each community would endeavor to im press the visitors with the attrac tions they have to offer. Local or ganizations along the itinerary to be assisted by representatives of the state chamber, who would be with the party over the entire state. Co operating with the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce would be the various organizations and associa tions including the newly formed Oregon Tourist Bureau, the Farm Bureau, the Oregon Motor Associa tion, the Wool Growers and Fruit Growers associations,, the directors of the 1925 exposition, together with various civic and semi-official bodies. Data will be compiled relative to all branches ot the state's resources especially In regard to the possibili ties of the various communities thru which the party will be shown. In regard to state-wide agricultural j possibilities, the exhibit ot agricul Ititral products In tho Oregon Build ling, the fluent exhibit of Its kind west of the Mississippi river, will speak tor Itseir. Many settlers from the middle west have been placed in Oregon through correspondence. Hundreds are preparing to move westward with the coming ot summer. By grouping them together and bring ing them In a body, under the direc tion and care of representatives of the state chamber and with all ar rangements for their entertainment made lu advance and assured ot a royal welcome along the route It Is believed that a Urge number ot sub stantial cltlxens can be added to the state." There la uo doubt that rrtnevllle and the Ochoco project would have much to gain and nothing to lose by cooperating with the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce In the luud settlement plan. HKI I KOSS NOTK.S (By Mrs. Asa W. Battles) The local chapter of the Bed Cross has rendered service to 17 ex-service men since opening its own service office in November, 1920. I'luliihiied Liberty Itombt The finance officer ot tho United States Army also holds 4,800 un claimed Liberty Bonds, and home service sections are requested to help in locating the men to whom those bonds belong. In many In stances the finance office baa been unable to obtain correct shipping In structions, and in other casus the bonds have been shipped and return ed unclaimed. American Rod Cross workers who recently returned to Warsaw from Lida, a city ot 12,000 inhabitants, which was one ot the last to be evac uated by the Russians in their de feat, report the entire city starving. Food was immediately dispatched by the American Red Cross when the need became known. Vnclnimed IilM-luirge Certificates The finance office of the United States Army has In Its vaults 6,600 original discharge certificates, which are being held awaiting receipt ot proper postoffice addresses to enable their return to their owners. These (discharges were originally sent In by ex-service men in support ot claims ' for sixty-dollar bonus, travel pay, arrears of pay, etc., and in many 1 cases checks in full settlement of claims are attached to discharge cer tificates so held. The division office has a list of names of those men whose discharge certificates are in the finance office. Home service sections are requested to give as much publicity to this matter, and It men come to them who believe their discharges are among those held" in the finance of fice, names of these men should be sent to the division office for com parison with the list.
