LUMBER tO. La Grande, Ore. COMMERCIAL CLUB DINNER (Continued from page 1 ) remarks with some comeback shafts, but the keynote of his address was a brief review of the elegance of Com mercial club quarters in every town visited, showing that La Grande . is . neither here nor there when It comes I to public pride in a Commercial club j house or quarters. ' ' Lcudlngr Farmer Eloqucut. I . Fresh from the furrow where all i day he had tramped behind the plow, worn out and tired from- a strenuous day with the horny-handed sons of toll, C. D. Huffman, prominent ranch er and granger, handled the theme, "Community Progress.' He did it splendidly and his concise speech em phasized the fact that Union county's farmers, have the ability to hold their own with the most brilliant city folks In dispensing of sober thought or fun ny joke at a big after-dinner pro gram.' He dwelt on the fact that many small efforts bring the big results, and brought home the truth that such a policy should be ithe aim of every community, Bruce Dennis talked on "Publicity bb the junketers saw it." Dr. N. Molitor was heard in a liter ary gem. Parabollcally he told in a masterly way bow, figuratively, the, junketers had all died on the way south throwing much fun into the demises -but coining to' the south the splendid elixir at llfo. which Is com monly known as. publicity, and which permeates the' southern atmosphere, caused the resurrection of the dead ones, and with their awakening, each delivered a homily on his particular vocation in life. Masterly English and diction was shown. : The doctor was the "life preserver" of the crowd and the toastmaster had fittingly as signed him such a topic. . -. - William Miller uncovered some of the secrets pertaining to the good C' things In store for patrons of the 1912 Chautauqua. . He likened . the local chautauqua to that of Ashland and stated that in his opinion it would be the chautauqua that would hold the 'state's attention to 'La Grande as the rose festival does Portland, the round up Pendleton. - John Collier ' responded to "The Booster Boosted." He told some of the striking Instances of spirit the' visitors found in the south, all of ' which made it clear to La Grande that . they are just a step behind. -j Attorney George T. Cochran carried his hearers ten years into the future. In a short but snappy speech he pic- I tured what "La Grande needed'' in a recital of what she would undoubted ly boast of at the end of a decade. E. S. Norrls, another well known rancher, who stands at the . head of the Farmers' unions, spoke' ot co-op-orarion and without fear of offending, which bis speech came far from doing, told many truths in a straightforward manner of what is needed tr cement the city and the farming community He went on record as opposed to bonding for better roads and told of what co-operation really Is and what will accrue 1 co-operation is carried out. Now Commercial Club Discussed. H. E. Coolidge, a member of the new board of directors, was well along on the i.rogram of speeches, but ho sew ed the ragged edges together, forming the rudeus of a new commercial club explaining the policy of the new board which in effect is that no-one person Is to ' be burdened financially in the upkeep of tbe institution but a ona dollar a month- charge from each member will be the policy hereafter. To do this requires a big membership, a membership which towns la South ern Oregon of a four or five thousanl population boast of 500 and 600. He told of some of the things the club proposes to do during the coming year but his aim and purpose was primar ily to bring to a focus and united front the drift of the speakers pro ceding him, and he did. Membership lists were signed freely at the conclu sion of hlB address, and the board will continue the campaign tor members on the $1.00 a month plan. Mr. Cool idge went far in bridging the real or imaginative chasm between the city and the farmers by urging the farm ers to Join the Commercial club and warmly inviting them to appear be fore the club at any time they had any grievances and it is clearly the policy of the club to fulfill the admonitions of E; 9. Norrls, to wit, co-operate both ways. Walter M. Pierce was the last num ber of the set speeches. He defended himself from the previous attacks growing out ot Incidents -while on the trip and in his proverbial eloquence sent the crowd away with ringing or atory uppermost In their minds. TELEGRAMS ARE CUTTIXG, Entire, Culled States Sends Shafts of Mirth ut HiiiKiuotcrs, From Salem' to Washington covers territory represented by - aerograms read by Toastmaster Knowles.

Polack was struck by & message from Publicity Manager SchloBser ot Roseburg, who wanted the grocerman to return to finish a solo dance commenced while the visi tors were .' in Roseburg. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., got Into the limelight by forwarding a message to Senator Wal ter M. pierce asking for the cash terms demanded by Pierce if the lat ter would withdraw from the race; Congressman A. W. Latterly was on the job and admonished George T. Cochran and Jerry Rusk to ' bring their wives along should both or eith er win the congressional, election and go to Washington. Anna Hold Xot Bnekwnrd. An event dating back to the Sunday evening that the pilgrims hit Port land was brought to the forefront by Anna Held from San Francisco. She regretted, in a message to George L. Cleaver, that he had not. attended her performance In Portland but that she did enjoy Mr. Clover's tete u tete after the' performance. "Parathentically It might he said t,hat Mr. Cleaver quit the, bunch when the Heilig became their mecca. The pun was popular as the audience was "next" to the facts in the case. A sandwich man, John Jones, at Ashland, demanded that Sam Brooks return and pay over the nlckle which '.Mr. Brooks beat him out of, Joseph Fels Heard From. Joseph Fels, the soap maker and single tax father, thanked Walter M. Pierce for his earnest efforts in be- Jinlf of the single tax and urged him to further work. In parenthesis let 'It be said that Mr. Pierce likes single tax like most people do snakes, ij The Commercial club at Medford In quired by telegram If any of the visi tors at Medford from La Grande had lost a portion of a speech apparently entitled, "The Crime of the Age."
