- This party of business and profes

fields, embracing 800,000 broad acres,
are surrounded by mountains of A1-,
pine proportions and beauty. And
"live wires" these men are, every one!

agreeably surprised at our seven miles
of paved streets, modern buildings,
fine surroundings and general air of
prosperity and prdgress..
Their loyalty to home was attested
during the evening by their "booster

Glory, Hallelujah:
Roseburg, Roseburg, how . we love
you,
And we'll come back again,"
Their loyalty to the whole state
was shown by singing, both before the
river valley.
Citizens of Ashland should manifest
more Interest in occasions of this kind.
Through such methods cities are. stim

At the banquet which was an elabor
ate affair and elegantly, served, Hon.
Dexter Rice acted as toastmaster.
Among those there assembled wero
Jive mayors From La Grande, Hot
Lake, Island City, Sutberlln and Rose
burg. : While "five cooks may spoil
a broth," these Ave. mayors were in
entire harmony with the occasion,
which, proved one of the most enjoy
able "held here In a long time. Hon.
Blnger Hermann welcomed the visit
ors in an abl address which was
eloquently responded to by Attorney
Chas. E. Cochran, of La Grande. At
the suggestion of Jolih Collier, presi
dent of the Peoples Store of La Grande
the visitors sang, "Oregon, My Oregon"
Mr. Collier is the dean, organizer and
general chaperone of this party. His
business partner' is Chas. Clements,
formerly of Roseburg. The song was
followed by an address by Bruce Den
nis, owner and publisher of the La
Grande Observer. . He is a live Ore
gon booster at all times and backs,
his faith by his works. He also paid
a high tribute to Roseburg'B publicity
manager, G. P. Schlosser. '
Hon.- Walter Pierce, former .jstate
senator, now proprietor and manager
of the famous Hot Lake Sanatorium,
gave perhaps' the most eloquent "ad-,
dress of -the evenlng'in which a mag
nificent future for the whole state
was forecasted. Judge J. W. Hamil
ton closed the speechmaklng with an
able dissertation on the great natural
resources of Oregon, including- also
the great Institutions which aro being
built up, especially along educational
linos. He holds that the public prob
lems of today will be solved by the
young men who . are being educated
In these schools.
After the banquet, the assemblage
at the Commercial Club was a brilliant
one. Music, games, aancing ana social
converse sped the time right mer
rily, Roseburg being the only place
on their trip where the ladles turned
out to greet these visitors from East
ern Oregon. - The guests pronounced
themselves as being greatly pleased
thereby and that their reception here
waa therefore the finest they had ex
prlenced during their nine days Jour
ney. '
, This trip has been a general get
together meeting for the whole state.
They did .not come either to sell their
goods or their products, but simply
to get acquainted and together, help
to. build up a greater Oregon. . The
boundless hospitality shown them at
every place was extolled and the ex
periences of this trip will be a treas
ured memory for life. Besides this
their only expressed wish was to carry
away with them a Bhare of the love
and esteem of the excellent people
they had met in this historic and now
progressive city of the Umpquas.
