There was a woolmen's gathering at Baker City, and as a matter of course, there Is plenty of discussion regarding the ways and means by which' the woolmen's Interests may be advanced, aya the Portland Telegram. Natur ally there is bound to be some high tariff talk, that always occurs; and there Is bound to be discussion con ccrndng transportation problems as they are presented in the matter of Ire) ght rates, and also of the action best to fee aken which will lead to the , widening of tlx piarket or the crea tion of a new market, foy eyrb pur poses do the woolmen gather l f rentlpn, and there Is no doubt thai nFP!$ ?UP. eneule from such 'gather lugs'. ranced with apology, it seems evident 9 pa hat tbe woolmen and men In terested n the wool business in this state pf Oregon have persistently ov- rl(!eKe3 th9 most promising bpior- mission -tunlty that exists In the line of new time get real wool In what he wears market creation.

I consumers In Oregon will be deprive of what advantage they might Just as well enjoy. There Is a big community interest in the development of woolen manufac tures In this state, and It is also true that that Interest ought to develop along extraordinary lines. This phase of the subject has been reviewed' in this paper many times before; but em- tihatlc reiteration Is not amiss. We can make woolen goods in Oregon bet ter than they, are made anywhere iu the world. We have the wool, and the power, and the water and the climatic conditions which manufacturers say are not to be excelled anywhere. We also have the market, and if not in full demand for the entire Oregon product. It is rapidly developing to that Upon the opening of the canal, that sort of development is bound to b"? stimulated, probably more than most of us Imagine. The state of Oregon and the Pacific coast will people more rapidly than we have ever dreamed they would.
