COMMERCIAL CLUB NEEDED BADLY Planning t o organize a movement for the developement of the territory surrounding each of the commercial clubs throughout the state, Tom Rich ardson, who has probably engineered more such undertakings than any other one man in the United-States, has been engaged by the Executive Committee of the Portland Commercial Club to give the greater portion of his time to this line of work in the future. With the development of each com munity in the state to its greatest pos sible extent as his object, Mr. Richard son will devote his energies and his ex perience to assisting each individual commercial body in raising fund« and in inaugurating a campaign wide i n scope and aggressive in character for the betterment oi »heir own home ter ritory. One of the main ideas in this w ork will be to place the idle lands of the state within reach of homeseekers at reasonable prices and, when estab lished on the land, the newcomer will be assisted in every possible way to make a success of his venture. If Ore gon is to profit by the great movement of tourists to the Coast in 1915, each community should commence prepara tions to that end at once. Is it not about time for Stayton to wake up and get into the game? Be fore many months have rolled around, the Panama Canal will be open for trade and the San Francisco Fair will be in full swing. Are we to get no benefit? There is no use talking, if you don’t teil people what you have, you will be passed up as a “deadone.” \ live commercial club is just as necessary to a town as advertising is to a business man. You can get along without both, but a little boost don’t hurt anyone either throught the adver tising columns of your city paper or the efforts of a commercial dub. Wake up and get in the game or get out of the way for some one who will. CITY COUNCIL MEETS TUESDAY The city council met in regular sess ion Tuesday eveuing.
