who went in search of the Holy

probably be lonesome in such a
world. We do not expect to see
such religion without cant, wealth
without want, or virtue without
vice; but we would like to see
the human race devote itself to

An snnouncement of a state
wide campaign that will be con
ducted by the Oregon State
Chamber of Commerce and the
part Stayton is to play was out
lined today by W. L. Miller
representing the State Chamber
who visited Stayton in connection
with a survey of the state now
in progress.
The campaign, its purposes
and aims, was discussed at length
by Mr. Miller with J. W. Mayo,

man o f the Stayton executive
committee which will co operate
with other cities o f the state in
the state-wide movement. Assoc

The Oregon State Chamber of
Commerce has undertaken plans
to play a big part in the future
development o f the state. Funds

tensive program o f activities.
Among, these will be an adver
tising camprign to set forth the
opportunities to be found in
Oregon and encourage land set
tlement; administration to pro
mote irrigation; extension o f
railroads; refund on reclamation
fund; extension of highways
both for commercial purposes
and through national forests; co
operation with agricultural and
lumbering interests and numer
ous other projects, the develop-

Other representatives o f the
State Chamber o f Commerce will
visit Stayton later and complete
the oaganization work for the
state-wide movement which it is
declared will benefit every sec
tion o f Oregon from the largest
city to the smallest hamlet.

good results without injuring the
