Far too small was the attendance
at the sessions of the Oregon-Idaho
devlopment congress this morning,
Of course the disagreeable weather
had something to do with keeping
farmers at home- but the people of the
city kre missing a big treat wheu they,
stay away from these meetings. The
foremost orators of the state are In
attendance, and every speaker la auj
authority on his subject. . ' . :
Because of the necessity of attend
ing to a professional call, Mayor M.
K. Hall was unable to be present at
the morning session and : President
John Collier, of the Commercial club,
fittingly welcomed the. delegates and
visitors.
Colonel Hofer, one of the most
'ardently patriotic of Oregonians, In his
response to the speech of welcome,
outlined the purpose an dalms of the
preaent meeting, and was followed by

Sheikh Ul Islam, who la head of the

ground that the Sultan violated the
laws of the Moslem religion by Inim

continued all day. , It Is certain that
the Sultan will be stripped of his large
