Interest in the chamber of com­
merce has taken a sudden spurt,
as was evidenced by the crowded
table for the Tuesday noon lunch­
eon. Much of this interest is due
to the activities of Secretary Men
denhall and much to the adoption
of the luncheon plan. Fifteen new
members wore reported.
Favorable action was taken upon
the proposal that a number of
chamber members attend the har­
vest festival to be held tonight at
Hebron by the Farmers’ union.
Secretary Mendenhall reported
numerous inquiries from California
and eastern points for information
and literature. Fifteen inquiries in
one ilay was the record, hi' said.

“I have no time to travel far
The trails that lead to Nowhere,
For I must learn where riches are
And follow roads that go there;
I could not well afford,” he said,
‘To wander where some cowpath led!
Twas years ago and miles away
I heard this declaration,
But I am wiser grown today
And know its refutation;
And I have seen how tragic is
The fate of men with hearts like his.
I chose a charming trail one day
They said would lead to Nowhere,
But I went blithely on my way
To find what flowers grow there,
For I was seeking happiness
And courting Nature’s kind caress.
I followed far this sylvan lane,
Enchanted by its beauty,
Forgetting quite all hope of gain
And thinking naught of duty,
When suddenly I found that thing
For which my soul was hungering!
I found the fortune which my friend
Had sought in vain on highways;
I found contentment at the end
Of one of Nowhere’s byways.
Here was the chance at last, I knew,
To do the work I wished to do!

Objections to Washington Avenue
Paving Are Not Renewed.
A contract for the paving of
Washington avenue with two inches
of black top was let Monday night
by the city council to the J. C.
Compton company, the only bidder.
Awarding of the contract had
been held over for a week upon
request of property owners who
had questioned whether the price
was reasonable and whether two
inches of black top over the prea-
ent ma milam would make a good
street. At the Monday night meet­
ing no one appeared to object to
the awarding of the contract.
The reason that there was but
one bid was because no one could
compete in price with the J. C.
Compton company, which has the
other street contracts. The price to
be paid is the same as that to lie
paid on the other streets being
paved.

attention and he was removed this
morning to the county hospital.
The attendance at the fifth an­
nual camp meeting of the Oregon
Methodist conference has become
so large that practically all eamp­

additional families have arrived on
the camp grounds during the week,
bringing the «mp ground family to

side points are quartered in private
homes and the hostelries of the
city.
Conversions range from 40 to 75
each day and the total is several
hundred.
Practically all Methodist pastors
of the southern Oregon district were
on the grounds Monday afternoon,
when a conference was held. This
brought the total of preaehers to
