Every resident of this area should have his or her good deed for the day to perform —and first, in the way the Pilot thinks, is honest advertising, to friends, the area in southw est Oregon. Picked up by United Press were stories about the re-birth of the area once a lumber milling town of note, due to lilies—although this United Press article mentioned lumbering as one of the p rin cipal industries. Lumbering is and will, for a long tim e, be a prin- cijwl industry, but not to the point where it can supply lum ber in quantities to Enid, Oklahoma, T erra Haute, Indiana, or other places as remote. Right now, some four or five hundred homes would be built ahr)ost in this immediate area, were lumber available in such quantities as people over the world have been lead to believe. Rsidents good turn should be to tell your friends, those who plan location in this area: "Opportunity is here in untold am ounts— there’s no limit to the resources now untouched but please do not expect to get a home soon, unless you can build im m ediately for yourself." Such would be much better than to left them become disappointed, once they arrived here. Residents' good turn should be to tell your friends, those who the settler who wishes to locate somewhere than this imm ediate vicinity. However, people under-financed would have difficulty in locating here with comfort, when those who are so endowed, a l ready here, have been unable t o get many necessities, such as new houses, homes for rent, and even suitable building sites. Ihts area is virgin in almost any angle you care to view’ it. Development must be done, and certainly it takes jieople to do just that but inform people who wish to come to a country for such opportunities of development. This area is no place for idlers. ■ ’ - ........ .............................. ......
