OREGON DEVELOP MENT LEAGUE The Observer has not yet soon the constitution and by laws adopted by the Oregon Development League on August 3rd at Portland, and therefor is unable to give information as to the details of the organ! ratl in. Bat from what we can gather from the Portland papers the organization affected at Portland will act as the contral force, with sub rdinate clubs in the revere! counties These subordinate clubs will represent Us special locality. To il lastrate. Suppose a club should he formed In Union county and deem it beneficial to have a fruit canning plant established therein and capital attracted thereto, and induced to Mi vest therein, the local club would colleot data as to the quantity of fruit and kind thereof grown in this county, probable cost of a plant or plants BUflloient to meet the demands of the Announcemt nt Jim Jun pe pie, the transportation facilities and freight ratea to ma-ket. This data will be forwarded to the central organ ization which will assist In getting ef pereuced fruit can tiers and capitalists to take bold of the enterprise. Where there is more than one club in a oout ty, and one locality d sires to push a s pecial enterprise, it will oou.- munloate with the other oounty clubs, which, incompliance with the spirit of the league movement, which is to as set all sections and pull down none, will b 'Ok np the move and give it a hearty supp rt. The united effors of all' the cnuuly cluhs will be forwarded to the central club which will put enterprise In touch with oapitalhts. But nothing in the cooperations of clubs will prevent the local club from doing all it can individually. It is a plan to unify the energy ol the etato and "make a long pull and strong pnll and a pull altogether for the 1m provement of Oregon." BIDS REJECTED. BY LAND BOARD Salem. Or , August 5.
