TO GO RIGHT TO WORK Local Buaineia and Profesaional Men Are Raeolved This County Shall Have Its Share Of East ern Travel. With the avowed Intention of rais ing a fund of 10,000 for publicity work In Oregon City and Clackamas County, a committee consisting of W. A. Shew man, R. C. Ganong, C. H. Dye, Grant B. Dlralck, Theodore J. Gary, James V. Campbell and Dr. E. A. Sornmer, baa been appointed by Thomas F. Ryan, president of tho Commercial Club of Oregon City. These seven men will get busy this week and attempt to secure monthly subscriptions among the business and professional men of this city to make up the required amount If they are successful, the Commercial Club will Immediately embark upon a campaign of advertising and will obtain the ser vices of an experienced booster to take charge of the organization and promotion work. The appointment of this committee followed bard on tbe heels ot the ban quet that was held in the Masonir Temple last Saturday night and which marked the opening of the Commer cial Club. The presence of Tom Richardson and the speeches of other enthusiastic men has caused a gen eral waking up among those who at tended the affair, and these men have apparently made up their minds that Oregon City has lagged behind in the march of progress long enough and they propose to enter Into the public Ity work with a vim. While probably 60 per cent of the men who attended the banquet were not members of the new organization. after hearing some of tbe rousing talks, 17 men Joined the club, making the total membership close to 100. Allusion wag made to the promotion work that ig being done by Hood River, Eugene, Salem, Albany and many other Oregon towns, at laat Saturday night'a banquet, and com parisons did not show up Oregon City In a favorable light. Local business men fully realize the great natural advantages and resources of this coun ty and have at last awakeded to tbe full realization that it Is only a ques tion of spending little money to make old Clackamas come Into her own.
