' ATCLUB ROOMS LADIES' AUXILIARY PROPOSES A GET' ACQUAINTED AFFAIR Tell Corvallis Business Men That Del- egation in Congress is Working for Development of the State, and Pre dicts Big Growth. HONOR OF THE JACOBS LI Congressman Hawley is a real booster. At the Commercial Cluh last night in his address on "'The Development of Oregon, " he made , statements more ex travagant than, Tom Richardson, champion booster , of, them all, has . ever -made at any. time. Mr. Hawley . predicts 6,000,000 people for Oregon, and gives Portland 2, 500,000, in less, than a half century, and proclaims an agricultural, horticultural, min ing and lumber development un surpassed by that of other states in their palmiest daya Coming from one so certainly. conserva tive, so slow of speech, so clearly a hard-headed business man, these statements take on added significance, and when it is con sidered that Mr.; Hawley makes such statements only, after ex tensive travel and investigation throughout the state, and fol lowing a sojourn at Washington city where he has been in close touch with eastern sentiment to ward the West, there is no good reason for minimizing the worth of his prediction. Congressman Hawley spoke for more than an hour, and it was all . boost. He pointed to the fact that within his recollection Oregon land has jumped from $15 an acre, to $2200 an acre, when the latter acre happened to have on it a pear orchard seven years old. He believes that there is a tremendous lot of Oregon land that will, be devel oped in value to something near the latter figure and he sees teeming; thousands coming to Oregon to get this land. Mr. Hawley , insisted that Oregon has had to buck Calif ornia and Washington, and even without railroads has forged to the front to such .an extent that all eastern eyes have, now turned : to this particular commonwealth. The point to Mr. Hawley's ar gument came in' his statements ' of what Oregon's delegation in Congress is , striving to accom plish to help along the develop ment of the state. He told how all members of the delegation have worked for open harbors, open rivers, restoration . to the , .homesteader oi certain . lands m the forest reserves, restoration ; to the public of certain railroad lands, and he told how he and others are causing .the ... Govern' ment to co-operate more and more with the Oregon people in their effort to care for and pro . v protect their fruit, reseed their ranches with a strong grass, etc., etc. - Mr. , Hawley T said the Governm ent can do great things . for Oregon and that nothing is being left undone to ' iaduce the Government to . take necessary aetioiC - In ' Mr. Hawley's opinion the The . regular meeting, of the Kebekah lodge last , night was turned into a farewell in honor of the Jacobs family, the mem' bers of which, are. leaving to make their home at Portland. The Jacobs were among the charter members of the " order here and ever, active in the work, hence the special honor. The affair was informal. Mrs. Roy Woodcock, No.ble; . Grand, ex fellow" members and invited those present to a sumptuous banquet in honor of the depart ing. This was a feast; of jjthe soul as well as of the, body." At an opportune time Mrs." "James Osborne in appropriate words Yoicepl the, widespread grief, at this parting,: and; ; best wishes, for theia. future welfare , of . the guests of honor. Af ter " I . the banquet therewas, social " chat and good-byes. The Jacobs family was given high testimony of the lpye and esteem in which its members . have ever been held.
