VOLUME ,IV

Is Visit of Portland Business
Men’s Excursion.
ALL SUPPORTERS OF NESMITH
Several Impromptu Addresses Deliver­
ed in Public Square.—Reception
Declared Most Cordial of Any
Tendered Them.
About seventy-five representative
business men of the Oregon metropo­
lis spent thirty minutes in Cottage
Grove yesterday, arriving from the
south at 12:55 on schedule time and de­
parting at 1:25, continuing their itinery
homeward, after having visited the
principal cities along the Southern Pa­
cific to the California line.
The excursionists were greeted at
(the passenger station by thé members
,of thé Commercial club and citizens
generally. Some were escorted to the
headquarters of this commercial organ­
ization, where a brief period was spent
in social intercourse, while others vis­
ited the business establishments of eus-,
tomers and friends. The short stay of
these substantial Oregonians did not
permit of elaborate entertainment, for"
which Cottage Grove enjoys an envi­
able reputation. In fact the announce­
ment of their coming requested that no
special plans be made for their recep­
tion, the object of the itinery being to
meet the citizens and “view the man­
ner of the town” in a general way.
The reception committee of the Com­
mercial club had one hundred handsome
rose buds, tied with a tiny ribbon on
which appeared the words, “A Nesmith
County Boutonniere,” and each excur­
sionist was presented with one of these.
Upon reaching the club headquarters,
or rather the square in front of the
club, Mayor Kime mounted a chair and
with a welcome to the visitors intro­
duced President Hazelton of thè Com­
mercial club, who extended to the ex­
cursionists a greeting from the club
members. .Mayor Kime then introduc­
ed Edward Ehrman, president of Ma­
son, Ehrmari & Co., who stated the ob­
ject of the itinery was to draw the peo­
ple nearer to the bosom of Portland.
He took occasion to heartily thank the
club and citizens of Cottage Grove for
the cordial reception tendered the par­
ty. John F. Carroll managing editor
of the Evening Telegram, appreciated
the reception given the excursionists,
and mentioned the Nesmith county
proposition, saying “we are all in favor
of it.” L. Samuel, general manager
of thé Oregon Life Insurance company,
in a neat little talk, was followed by
C. Reuger, assistant manager of the
Pacific Hardware & Steel company,
who said the teip was in the interest
of development, and that being the case
he could see no reason why every mem­
ber of the party should not be for the
proposed new county.. Dr. Andrew C.
Smith was delighted with the reception
accorded the Portlanders, saying there
was more true Oregonianism exhibited
here than the party had seen on the
trip. He suggested that three cheers
be given for Nesmith county, and thèy
were given with an earnestness seldom
witnessed on such occasions.
“All Aboard” rent the air at this
juncture, and the party hurriedly' re­
traced its steps to the passenger sta­
tion, and continued its way northward,
the train leaving amid shouts from vis­
itors and visited, the former cheering
for success of Nesmith county and the
latter bidding its guests God speed.
A considerable number of the gentle­
men forming the party had previously
visited Cottage Grove, and expressions
of surprise at its material advancement
during the past year were heard on all
sides. The improved appearance of
Main street, the handsome brick struc­
tures erected last year, the new cement
sidewalks, and the general air of pros­
perity which prevades the town were
noted and favorably commented upon.
Not a few of the excursionists made in­
quiry as to proposed Nesmith county,
of which this city is the proposed tem­
porary county seat, and the sentiment
prevailed that our‘cause is just and
that'the county should be created by
the people at the November election.
The party represented practically
$100,000,000. Their train was one of
the most magnificent the Southern Pa­
cific could supply, not lacking in a sin­
gle feature of equipment.
The party was composed of the fol­
lowing gentlemen:
Tom Richardson, president of the
Portland Commercial club.
