the week of the I'.ose l estivHl. June 10
to IS, as a result -f personal invita
tions 'extentlert lliem by Lloyd W. Mi
Powell. Industrial acnt of the North
Bank road, and Will A. Campbell, of
St. Paul, secretary of the Northwest
Development IaRue. who have just
completed a tour of the entire terri
tory between Portland and St. Paul.
McDowell returned to Portland yes
ierday after a week's stay In St. Paul,
where, he conferred with U V. Hill,
prerldent of the Creat Northern Kail -wav
Carl R. llrav. president of the
North Bank, and other offlrials of the
Hill lines. He says he heard no au
thoritative report while in St. Paul
that Mr. Hill is about to retire from
the presidency of the Great Northern
to take charne of the Oregon W ext
ern Colonization Company's 800.000
acre development project In this state,
of which he has Just secured control.
Mr. Gray will return to Portland to-
"'The prime object of Mr. McDowell s
trip was to arouse Interest In the an
nul meeting of the Northwest Devel
opment Congress In Seattle from June
t to . and which he believes will be
a. treat benefit to the entire North
west. Immediately after the close of
the meeting the delegates, anion
whom will be the Governors of ore
Eon. Washington. Idaho. Montana.
.North Dakota. South Dakota and Min
nesota, will come to Portland to at
tend the Rose Festival.
I.aad Show to Be Supported.
fter the Hose Festival the efforts
of the organization will be directed
towards maklntt a success of the Min
neapolis land show In November to be
known as the Northwest Products Kx
posltlon. A similar show held by the
leacue In St. Paul last year attracted
Interest all over the country and was
attended by more than 93.000 people.
At the close of the Minneapolis ex
position. November 23. the exhibits rep-iK-ntative
of the seven states identi
fied with the league will be loaded In
bantcaKe cars and taken East and
throuKh the Middle West for a series
of expositions In cities of 10.000 to
75.000 population. The larnest public
halls or auditoriums will be leased and
the expositions put on free of chanre
for a week. This undertaking will
require about five months.
The June congress at Seattle is al
ready attracting a irreat deal of atten
tion throughout the Northwest." said
Mr. McDowell. "On this trip Mr. Camp
bell and myself visited Aberdeen. Ho
niitam. Seattle. Walla Walla. Boise and
Pocatello. Idaho. I-eadlnK business men
In Idaho are looking forward to the
Seattle meetine- and will send a larpe
delegation. 'The work of Mr. Camp
bell and his associates in pulling off
such a successful exposition in St. Paul
last year, has led to an early demand
for space at the Minneapolis exposition,
and the prospects are that this show
will be much larger than that held at
St. Taul. and the attendance far great
er. In Montana we met with commer
cial organizations in Butte. Helena. Bil
Mngs and other places. In I.ewiston
Mr. Campbell delivered an address be
fore more than 230 of the leading busi
ness men.
Coas-reM Will Be I-arge.
"With the Governors of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota. Montana,
Idaho. Oregon and Washington appoint
ing representatives from the various
counties in their respective states to
attend the congress as delegates and
the commercial clubs interested in the
magnificent work the league Is doing,
there Is every reason to believe Seattle
will be the scene of one of the most
successful gatherings ever held, which
has for ltB object the discussion of
subjects looking to further development
of the Northwest.
"Oregon has an opportunity to make
it splendid showing at Seattle. Mr.
Campbell is co-operatins with C. C.
chapman, of Portland, in the work in
this state. In a very short time a. sys
tematic campaign will be started to
Interest every commercial organization
In Oregon and Washington In the Seat
tie congress and there Is to be a united
effort to attract between 600 and 600
delegates. It is expected that Governor
Kberhart, of Minnesota, will head a del
egation from that state. Governor
Norris. of Montana, will come and
Iwls Penwell, of Helena, president of
the Northwest Development League,
will also be present. Governor Vessey,
of South Iakota, says that his state
will be well represented.
"Governor Hawley. of Idaho, and
Governor West, of- Oregon, will both
be at the congress and with Governor
Hay. of Washington, there will be seven
Governors present to discuss the needs
of the Northwest, Its world-wide ex
ploitation, the circulation of authentic
literature'and the many big schemes for
the rapid and permanent settlement of
the "zone of plenty," as James J. Hill
refers to the seven statea comprising
ttie Northwest Development League.
-Several railroad presidents will at
tend. L. W. Hill, president of the Great
Northern, will deliver an address. It
is also erpected that Secretary of the
Interior Fisher will be present. At the
. onclusion of the meeting the seven
Coventors are expected to visit the
Cortland Hose Festival and It Is possi
ble that they may call a Governors'
Congress before leaving the Coast.
"It Is now but a few weeks before
the opening of the Seattle congress
and It Is to be sincerely hoped that the
commercial bodies in Oregon will work
enthusiastically to maJce the gathering
a success, realizing, ag they should,
what it will bring to the state in pub
licity and the good they will derive
from being present at the meeting,
listening to the address of the Gov
ernors, officers of the league and prom
inent speakers from the states. It will
be an excellent message to carry to
their home organization and they will
he In a position to give business men
of the community they represent first
hand information regarding the plan
nd scope of. the Northwest Develop
ment League, an organization which
has for its sole aim the upbuilding of
the Northwest and the settlement of
the geven great states.
