Made-ln-Oregon Baking Powder. At the Corvallls Made-ln-Oregon gathering at the Commercial club I State Will Give Preference to Made Oregon Products. The Made-in-Oregon campaign was given great prominence In the two daily newspapers at Corvallls the past week, and the public rally held by the Corvallls Commercial club was attended by a large crowd of the prominent business men of that place. Four representatives of the Manufac turers Association were at the meet ing Thursday evening. The college was represented by Prof. E. D. Hom ier of the industrial department and several of the faculty. It. W. Ray mond, representing the Llonlte Safety Powder company of Portland, and Ar thur C. Callan visited the. Agricultural college and addressed the students In the interest of the Made-ln-Oregon movement. A. F. lilies of the Central Poor and Lumber company and Col. K. Hofor (if Salem visited the Corvallls High school and addrersed an assembly of the students, kindly called by Supt. Kirk, formerly of Newberg. Kach of the 200 students was Riven an Oregon First Consumer's lingua pledge to tuko home and have their parents sign the snme and return them 'to the su perintendent who turns them in to the Made-ln-Oregon campaign man ager to supply them with literature. ( orralllH Was KntliuslHstic President Allen of the Commercial rlub gave the Made-ln-Oregon cam paign a fine endorsement and pledged the hearty support of hi organization. L. Samuel made the opening address snd pinned an Oregon First button on every citizen present. The Made-ln- Oregon campaign tins had ten thou from flour from the Fischer mill of that city. Corvallls has developed quite a trade In riour and breakfast cereals. The Incident is well worth noting because our state, which is one of the greatest milling states In the union, Is also the dumping ground of enormous quantities of eastern flour notably the Washburn flours of Minneapolis advertised on the cover pages of the magazines and the La dies' Home Journal and the Saturday Evening Post where a single page costs $.000 a week. The eastern man ufacturer Is thus able to force his products into thousands of homes where the head of the family has not given the Made-ln-Oregon Idea any consideration. Portland manufactur crs of rolled oats, wheat and other breakfast foods, and eastern and western Oregon flour are certainly worth giving the preference when this state produces the wheat and the oats from which they are made and Ore- Ron flour is from one to two dollars n barrel cheaper. But the price of the eastern products have to pay for the thousands of dollars spent weekly for the high-colored advertising. Made-in-Oregon products enrich the home people and the home manufac turer Is learning to advertise.

Oregon City manufacturers have joined the movement and the date of the meeting will he announced In a few days.

The annual banquet of the Manu facturers AsBocla.ion was held at the Multnomah hotel and was attended by about 250 members of the organiza tion, A feature of the affair waB the fact that the furniture and many of ,the furnishings of the hotel, and the iblll of fare, excepting the wines, were I made in Oregon factories. Mr. A. F. IllleB of the Central Door and Lumber company was one of the lapeakers aad referred to the fact that 'the Pendleton asylum was being built by a Montana contractor and nearly all the construction material had come from outside the state. State Trea surer T. R. Kay said in letting work to the loweBt bidder such was often the case, but the state board had (lecioen mac an tne rurnisiilngs as far as possible should be given Ore gon manufacturers. A letter was read from Secretary of State Hon W. Olcott saying that he was cooperating with the state purchasing agent to give preference to Mado-ln-Oregon products In every Instance. As the Oregon man ufacturers wore the heaviest taxpav ors It was no more than right to give their products preference, price and quality being equal. Just before President McMonies de livered his address, considerable in terest wbb aroused by a display of a "Made In Oregon" substitute for rub ber, which wns passed around the tables for the Inspection of the guests. To all appearances the composition Is rubber, and It ta claimed that It can he used for 70 per cent of the pur poses for which rubber Is now, em ployed. The Portland made substitute which will be turned out In a local fnc tory under a locally-organized com pany, Is snlil to cost only about 25 per cent as much as real rubber. The following director were elected for the ensuing year: Dan Kelllher, T. S. Mann, F. L. Knight, D. M. Dunne, John Montag, W. II. McMonies. A. N. llolton, and W. F. Scott. A number of guests at the banquet before the busi ness Bession was closed sent In appli cations for membership. President McMonies rend a very able annual address, reviewing the progress of the "Made-ln-Oregon'' pro gram, lie said It was the duty of all manufacturers and their wives and employes to demand of Oregon retail er that they keen Oregon products. President McMonies' Address. "It Is with considerable pride that I call this meeting to order in the Ho tel Multnomah," he said, "for the rea son that In the construction of the hotel the owner have observed the niade-ln-Orcgon' slogan and pur chased vast qunntltle of 'made-ln-Or-egon' materials and goods, and because the lessee. In furnishing and equipping this magnificent hostelry, bought all the goods he consistently could from Portland manufactureis. "As you know, the membership of the Manufacturers assoclaUon Is com posed of manufacturers and others who are striving, through the officer and board of director, to upbuild the manufacturing Industries of Orcein thorugh the extension of the 'Made-in- Oregon' Idea and by Increasing wher ever available the number of factories in mi state. tlons and employers of labor gener ally, has had a deterrent effect upon I the Upbuilding of industries, not only upon the Pacific Coast, but every where else in the United States. Cap ital does not know where all the agi tation will end and therefore is chary. ' and small Investors take their cue, of course, from the large capitalists and the large investors. Until capital Is given more assur ance that It can operate with a rea sonable degree of safety and without being harrasBed by every muckraker and self-seeking office-holder, the in dustrial progress In this conutry. and naturally on the Pacific coast must suffer. To the thoughtful citizen it is apparent that the tendency of much of the state and national legislation is to depress rather than encourage ac tivities which make for the country s material advancement and prosperity. "In the meantime this great Pacific Northwest, thl land of wonderful re sourcefulness and boundless possibil ities of remarkable energy and con structive ability Is to some extent made to suffer. Until some radical change In the treatment of corpora tions and Industrial companies gener ally is brought about, we will continue to feel the slowing up In business which has been notlcealbe for several years. I am happy to state that in spite of the conditions of which I have spoken, Portland and Oregon have been unusually well favored, compared with condition in other sec tions. The city has held its head above water, and, generally speaking, Is the most prosperous city on the Pacific coast. All statistical matter obtain able goes to prove this statement. Portland Is the most talked-of city In the Unjted States today. "If we, each of us, who are here tonight will gee to It thnt he aBks for 'Made-ln-Oregon' goods first, and has his family do the same, and also has hi employes. It will not be very long before we will have a dozen factories to where we now have one. "There are few of the necessities of life that we do not make here In Ore gon, and all that Is asked of the people at large Is to insist on the retailer supplying; the 'Made-ln-Oregon' pro duct. Have your wives demand 'Made-ln-Oregon' spices and breakfast foods and flour and jellies, flavoring ex tracts, soaps and washing powders, and baskets and woodenware, and 'Made-ln-Oregon' cloth for their suits, and you will be doing a eood thing for yourselves and for the entire Btate. "There Is no limit to the possibili ties, but each and every one of you must do your share and make It a point first to inquire of yourself be fore buying anything, Is the article I want 'Made In Oregon?' If so, I will give the 'Made-ln-Oregon' goods the first chance. "Carry the 'Made-ln-Oregon' Idea into your business life. "Talk It to your office force. "Talk It to your factory force. "Talk it to your friends. "Talk 'Made in Oregon' to your family. "The result of your personal activity soon will bring results to you snd your business which will be readily apparent. "I will briefly review some of the recent accomplishments of the Manu facturers association. "The association conducted a 'Made-ln-Oregon' exposition at the Meier & Frank store. Forty-five of our mem bers put in exhibits of their products, and not a few put in working exhibits. "The association succeeded in hav ing established two factories, and we exnect soon to be able to announce the addition of several more to Portland's growing Hat. "The nienace of prison-made goods has long threatened to make extensive Inroads Into the Industrial life of this state. The Manufacturers association, after lengthy consideration, took tin the matter with Governor West with good preliminary results. "Yon will he Interested to know thai through the efforts of the Manufac turers association the Multnomah Ho tel company placed orders for over $1 10.000 worth of goods with local manufacturers. "The Manufacturers association has carried on a general 'Made-ln-Oregon' propaganda through the newspapers of this state. This special feature was Inaugurated this year, and we have received clipping from various news papers which, when pasted together, would make 20 pages of the Oregon Ion or the Journal or the Telegram. The clipping received do not fullv tell the tale, as many papers printed the articles anil did not send the clip pings to the office of the association." Secretary Vincent read bis report for the year' business, showing a nice balance on hand. A letter was read from Hon. Ren W. Olcott, who as a member of the State Hoard of Public Institutions pledged himself to do all in his power to promote the "Made-ln-Oregon" Idea and give the preference to the pro ducts of Oreuon Industries. Ills letter waB warmly applauded. L. Samuel spoke of Oregon millers who put up their flour In sacks made In the east, when just ns food sacks could be made here. He spoke of the loss of the Pacific Monthly, hnvlng a I aalarv snd expense list of $l.',n.0OO ne inspiaveu suit he wore "Made In Oregon" all but the buttons. Mr. Holman of Howe, Davis & Kll hani spoke for the printing trades having a payroll of over a million per annum.
