The Chamber of Commerce Drive
How to maintain a chamber of commerce that is active
and do away with the cost of the institution is a problem
that many cities of La Grande's size have wrestled with
for many years. '
Just now there is a campaign on for membership in
the local chamber. It has the bucking 0f the board of di
rectors and while it increases the amount to be paid by busi
ness houses generally, it at the same time provides a bud
get for something like $7,000, a portion of which is to
lie used to advertise La Grande and Union county. Here
tofore, the chamber of commerce as operated merely fur
nished sufficient funds to hire a man whose duty it was
to meet strangers, maintain an office and arrange for the
Tuesday luncheons. To all intents and purposes it meant
raising funds to pay office rent, pay a stenographer and
pay, a manager whose activities ceased when the luncheon
Rndj strangers were taken care of.
Kr---.Some believe it is better to have a larger budget and
.accomplish more, while others believe that the act of main
,taining a chamber of commerce is but a formality which
jail -cities must engage in that their place in the sun may
jbe maintained.
) In an eastern city wlfl:?er 3f managerial form of govern-:
merit, similar to the one used here is in force, the chamber
;of commerce hti3 been placed in the ci'v hrll with the city

pasl year, merely maintaining; a secretary and an office.
; The question that confronts every business and pro
fessional man in the present chamler of commerce drive
is what plan does he approve of, what docs he desire to
jhave done. The institution lives wholly on donations, as
jnow operated, and any donation is up to the man who does
the donating, or the firm that does the donating;.

Science and Children
This business of soarchinir out fai'ta and unaiiKiiiK tlii'in
bo as to develop thcorirs and conclusions from them; tlii.s
business of science, in other wordu, has been n Rieat bene- j
fit to mankind. . !
UK
Sometimes it seems, however, that the scientist jtoos ai
little too far in his zeal to carry the torch of reason into'
hitherto unexplored areas. There is a realm of familiar
ideas and phenomena which, in the opinion of some per
sons, olitfht to bo RiyfeKtiardcd against intrusions on the
jmrt of this roleiit-imiuirer.
, There is, for instance, a vast body i.f childhood Icdiror
domain of a therapeutic, nature inli icr.lely devised ivnie
djes for nose blcedinir, U ' stubbing, wai l removin;-, and
things of that nature, which the scientist can never hope
to approach with the resiiect'to which such prescriptions
are entitled in view of their ancient origin. These things
do not harm, and they furnish infinite delight to the juv
enile practitioner. If you have stubbed your toe, the p:iin
is nl once eased by rubbing the stubbed toe with a small
lump of cobwebs gathered in a barn nnd wadded up con
veniently for tho application. To slop nose-bleed you swing
around your head a dead rat on a string securely lied to
tho tail of the deceased rodent.
, '. Of such' is the delightful medical folk-lore of childhood,
but what chance does this folk-lore stand against the pa
tient but relentless inquiries of a scientist'; ,

Portland aers will be, ."Portland faces a water shorlnjve."
