"See America First, the slogan so extensively used by railroads in the! advertising:, has taken on a broader and truer significance following the discovery" of the Pacific Northwest by the delegates to the convention of the American Association of General pas senger and Ticket Agents who passed . Monday In Portland. The word "discovery"-is used advis edlv from the fact that 90 Der cent of the party, which consisted of 150 of the passenger representatives of every rail road in the United States, had never before been farther west than St. Paul and had.no first-hand knowledge of this section of the country, its develop ment. Us resources and its opportuni ties. When the party left at midnight last night for San Francihco, following sightseeing tour of the city and sur rounding country, they possessea first-hand knowledge of Portland and vicinity. Surprise la Expressed. They uniformly expressed surprise with the magnificence of the country, pledged their hearty co-operation In furthering the development and peo pling of the state. In return, the rail road reprehentatives, who were the guests of the Transportation Club at a. banquet at the Portland Hotel last night, were assured by speakers rep resenting the various civic and com mercial organizations of the city of an earnest desire to work hand in hand with the railroads, realizing that through co-operation alone were the best results to be attained in the fur ther growth of the state and the profit . able development of Its resources. Action of organized labor of this city several months ago in distributing broadcast throughout the country cir culars mlsrepresetning industrial con ditions and the opportunity for settlers in Oregon was referred to by Garrett Fort, of the Union Pacific, one of the speakers at the banquet. "We thank you for your hospitality, which Is as boundless as the- Pacific Ocean and your forests," said Mr. Fort. "You have an immense empire await lng settlement and development, and you need our help and we are going to give it to you. But the work of the railroads In their efforts to help you in the last year were . seriously handicapped by the circulation of lit erature emanating from your state, whtcn representee that much or your citizenship was subsisting on charity. that all your arable lands had been taken up and that the balance consisted of a vast wilderness of forests and mountains.

G, Clark, president of the Ad Club: Eu gene Brookings, president Progressive Business Men's Club; John F. Carroll. editor and manager Evening Telegram. and C. S. Jackson, publisher Oregon Dally Journal. Trip Great Success. The trip was a great success from start to finish,'" said A. M. Cleland, gen eral passenger agent of the North ern Pacific, who was personally in charge of the two elegantly equipped special trains. "Everybody enjoyed himself thoroughly and the trip was not marred by the sickness of any member or the party for a single day. Tjeventy-rive per cent of the mem bers of the party had never been west of St. Paul. Of the other 25 per cent. probably less than 10 per cent had ever visited the Pacific Coast before, and then only in the last four or five years. The trip and what they have seen of the Pacific Coast country have been a wonderful revelation to the passenger agents. The Northern Pacific feels gratified over the success of the trip and the part it played in bringing the party into this section of the country. Both or the special trains were made up exactly alike and consisted of the same high-class equipment. The trains are said to have been the finest ever assembled for a transcontinental trip. Each consisted of four compartment sleeping cars, one standard sleeper, one composite library car, two dining cars and an observation car.

The President, it is known, would b pleased to see the name of his becre tary of War at the head of the New York ticket, but in line with his policy of keeping out of state politics, It was considered doubtful if he would take any aggressive part in the selection of a Gubernatorial candidate. Any man decided upon by the leaders probably will be acceptable to the President, du It is believed he will let the leaders know Just what he thinks of the avail ability of any man proposed.

Mr. Taft added that he considered Murray an efficient Controller and did not believe he had displayed any activity in politics. The President received a letter from Senator Brown of Nebraska last night. announcing that the Republican or ganization there intended to resort to the courts to take anti-Taft electors off the state ticket.

Knapp, president of the Cham ber of Commerce, who spoke .later, reverted to the remarks of the railroad man and repudiated the circulars that had been referred to and explained that they were Issued . without the knowledge and certainly without the indorsement of any of the commercial organizations of the city. He pro nounced . the literature as false and malicious and assured the passenger men of a desira by the business men of the state at all times to co-operate with them In all efforts to upbuild Oregon and make it the state Its vast area and large resources warranted. B. S. Josselyn, president of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Com pany, was toastmaster and welcomed the visiting railroad men to the city. The formal address of welcome was made by J. E.

"I read recently that the population of Oregon was six persons to a square mile. - In New York the population is 163 to every square mile, in Pennsyl vania 132, in Massachusetts 215. After what we have seen of the great de velopment and your natural resources I believe the ratio might properly be . reversed. It will not be long until you will have a population equal to that of many of the Eastern states. The passenger agents will do their part. 1 -take pride in knowing that the rail roads have had something to do with .the development that has taken place in the paciric Northwest. C A. Cairns, retiring president of the association, of Chicago, spoke in a simi lar vein, declaring that what be had seen of the Pacific Northwest had been an inspiration to him. "Oregon is a great state, and I hold evidence of it in my hand," said Mr. Cairns, exhibiting a monster potato. 'This potato was produced on land that a few years ago was a veritable desert In the Interior of the state. That sec tion has since been traversed by two railroads which have played an im portant part in the development of lands that formerly were non-productive. Of all, the Western and Pacific Coast states we have visited, Oregon undoubtedly is most susceptible to de velopment. Your Interests are diversi fied, embracing every form of industry. We will do our part In promoting your development." V Vim and Force Impress. "I was profoundly impressed with the development that has come to this section of the Pacific Northwest in such a short period." testified W. J. Craig, vice-president of the association, of Wilmington, S. C. "I have been much impressed with the agricultural development and the growth of your cities, but I have been more Impressed with the vim and force of the men you have here the men that have made t'ls development possible. I have im b bed that vim, for it is catching, and I shall take it home with me." ' C. h.

Wallace, general passenger agent of the Erie, New York City, and president of the association. This was thefirst visit of Mr. Wallace to thi Pacific Coast "Our advertising departments have always paid considerable attention to the Pacific Northwest in publicity work,"' said Mr. Wallace, "but we all came west at this time to acquire a new supply of adjectives. What we have seen on this trip fully justifies their use. equally complimentary in his re marks was J. M. Chesbrough, general, passenger ageni or tne Pennsylvania Company. Pittsburg, Pa., who, lrke the great majority of the prominent rail road men in the party, had never vis ited the Pacific Coast. The party disbanded in Portland, but 125 of their number organized another special tram and at midnight departed ror California in a special train in the personal charge of C. S.
