R., spoke to an enthusiastic crowd last evening at Roberts' hall. The subject of his lecture was "Pa triotism'' and in his discourse he showed that patriotism and love of country could only be sustained In the raising of the standard of citii zenship. Mr. Haynea said "that the 'Almighty dollar' was upper most in nearly every American's mind and not so much as tb&t of producing a good healthy body and mind." The lecture was very interesting from start to finish and the stories of the war of the Rebellion were pleasing. Mr. Haynes ppoke to the school children at the school house in the afternoon. He left for his home in Portland on this morning's train. The Oregon National Guard is very active in its efforts to obtain a suitable and permanent rifle range near Portland. Besides beirg immediately available io for tbe nse of six companies, including those stationed at Vancouver, Washing ton, the range would attract ar y United States cruisers and other naval vessels to this port, since this practice is re quired of the navy as well. The matter ha been taken np with the United States War Department an . strongest possible endorsement has gone forward from the Portland Commercial Club and other organizations of Portland, In celebrating the pening of the new electric interurban line between Port land and Salem on February 18th, the latter city entertained numerous delega tions from the various cities of the Wil lamette Valley. Over a hundred busi ness men went frem Portland in two special cars. Great enthusiasm was aroused by the speeches of both visitors and S ileal men, and all united in em phasizing the necessity for wide-awake aggressive advertising to develop boih citv and country. Salem contemplates an immediate campaign as a result. A branch of the work of the Portland Commercial Club which many people know nothing about is the maintenance of an Ore on It formation Bureau in Los Angeles, whioh has been wonder fully successful in its efforts to so inter est Californian tourists that they may return to their Eastern homes by way of Oregon. Oregon literature is distri buted from several of the most ceutrally located ollicts in Los Angeles, and it i eaaerly taken. The colonist rates, and particu'ady the $30 fare from the great middle West to all stations in the "Bea ver State" is emphasized in every pub lication given out. Kastern lectures are also employed to a limited extent, and Mr. Robert J. Weyh, Jr., of X -w York Ci'y, has just reported a most success ful series, with aud'ences frequently numbering in excess of one thousand adults "They take in every word about Oregon," tie writes, "and then tire questions at me."
