COMMITTEE 18 APPOINTED TO
RAISE MONEY TO ADVERTISE

Local Buaineia and Profesaional Men

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.
