SATURDAY, APRIL 9 REMEMBER THE DATE Thousands Expected to Be En tertained Booster Day. Many Attractions in Store for Visitors Meetings of the Commercial Club are quite froqueut of late, making ex tensive plans for April Dth, Booster Day.

An Open Letter to Oregon City People April 9 is to be "Booster Day." As a newcomer to Oregon Oity, may I offer a few suggestions? As I un derstand this phrase to mean, it is symbolical of anything aud everything that tends to advance the material intorests of Ore '.'.hty, It everyone does their part, humble though it may be, the occasion will spell success. It is not improbable that there will be many newcomers here at that time. Individuals from other places will be present to see what opportunities Ore go u Oity can offer that excel those of other locilitieB. It would seem proper, then, that everyone see to it ihat their promises anu their places ot husiiiHt'S shall be neat, cleau ami orderly at that time. Dispose of old garhaHe heaps, clean tiie streets, purify the hack yards, mow the lawns. Then, again, everyone should stand eady to extend the welcome hand, not perluuctorily, but genially, heart ily, as thuugn they were really glad to see the etrang.:r. Suon an act gooB a great way to help I he stranger to overcome thut leeling of loneliness, of hoiuosicknoss, ami ttr,tuguueH8 so depressing to the immigrant. Tell these people that you aie glad to Bed' them, and say it as though you uieau it. These first impressions go a long Way with the newcomer It is not snlticieiit for tho residents of Oregon City to taotily acknowledge that they have the greatest and finest waterpower iu Oregon. It is not enough to know that the threi great est paper mills ou the Paciiio coast are here, or thut there U the great est woolen mill ou tho coast. It will not do to rest satisfied that Oregon City has greater advantages tor maim facture, tor sociil aiivaucemuut, for educational or religious opportunity than auy other town iu the Willamette vallev. Nor will it sullice to know that this beautiful Emerald city is surrounded by a noli., Bud fertile re gion, fresh from the hand of God, whore one needs but to tickle the soil with the harrow, to make it suulo in bouutoous crops. You know all these things are true. Justify the faith that is iu you, aud proclaim the glad tid ings throughout all the earth to the inhabitant! thereof. Emerson somewhere says iu effect that it you can do something a little better than anyone else, or give some thing better than your neighbor, the world will beat a pathway to your door. Don't keep all these things to yoursolvos. Toll the world that Oregon Oity and Olackamiis county offer the great est advantagoa. Speak of it; write to vnnr friends in loss favored localities, Bolioving it yourselves it should not be dillicult to convince others. A flood of inquiries reaches the pub licity department of the Oregon City Commercial Club every day. Dis satisfaction aud rest Ussunss are rife all ovur the East, Middle West aud South. All eyes are turned on Orogou. The Commercial Club is doing a great work, but the publicity depart ment welcome the humblest aid. Did uot the writer feel a genuine interest in aidnif to the best of his humble ability thi upbiilding of this com munity hv would, never have come here. Did he not sincerely desire to see all etlorts to this md crowned with success, tins would never have been wnteu. Now then, lot us all give "a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all to gether," aud "Booster Day" will be recorded in the archives of local his tory as the red loiter day of Oregon City the date of the Great Awaken ing! Here's to succtss for" Booster Day !" CHAS. E. SAWYER. Heo. Pub. Dept., Oregon City Commercial Club.
