The special train bearing the 75 visitors arrived in tne citv at 6:10 o'clock. The committee of Hepp ner business men as well as a large number of t citizens were at the de pot to meet them. It was a meeting of bueiness men, in fact a business proposition all the way through, consequently there was no Hare of trumpets, not even a brass band, however there was not a lack of enthusiasm on the part of Heppner business men and citiaccs. Owing to the fact that the traiD arrived at the dinner hour a num ber of the visitors were engaged in refreshing the inner man when the train pulled in. They came leis urely up town from the depot in different eqnads. The visitors spent the early part of the evening in groups in look ing over the town and were enter tained by the different business men. At a little before nine o'clock the visitors with a large number of citizens assembled at the ath letic room of the Commercial Club! house. Prior to the main meeting, the center of attraction at the club rooms was the display of coal from the Willow creek coal mines which had been placed on exhibition by Geo. Conser. There was only one thing to mar he pleasure of the meeting and that was the scarcity of seats. Many people were forced to stand up during the meeting owing to the large number of people present. E. L. Freeland acted as chair man, and after stating the objects of the meeting introduced F. E, Beech, of Portland. Mr. Beech delivered a short ad dress which bad the ring of bus iness all the wav through. " We want the interior cities to realize what is in store for them. and we want to see every locality united and palling in the same di rection," Baid Mr. Beecb. The speaker impressed the au dience with the fact that while the business interests of Portland were well represented, the business men making up the excursion were not here to take orders, but were here for the purpose of stirring tip a feeling of encouragement, and if we had any special questions of interest in Heppner that they were here to help us along in every way possible. As an illustration Mr. Beech took Baker City. He said that the citizens of that town wanted a better railroad station building, and now that Portland business men understand the situation. Baker City can safelv relv uDon - S - the hearty co-operation of Port land in gaining the desired end. And it was the same way with Heppner, continued Mr. Beech. If there was anything to make Hepp ner more prosperous, Portland was ready and wanted to take hold of the matter and help. He said that Heppner had the reputation of being a large distributer of merchandise and Portland busin ess men wanted to eel bpffpr . yoar tongue to Snd look in the glass you will see the effect You can't help puckering it makes you pucker 'jto think of tasting it.
