There are many tilings, however, where Port land has been weak, "I believe the principal reason has been that our energies have been di vided amongst too many specializing organizations. 'We should have the strong central body, which can take up mv matter that affects Portland s busi ness and the prosperity of our citizens. "With our big organizations under a svstem of operation that permits mem bers to initiate activities that are for the public good we will have an instru ment of gigantic power. Our property owners and business men, instead of feeling indifferent, will rally to ,the support of such an organization. They will feel the organization belongs to them and w-ill serve them in all mat ters which organized effort should un dertake. "Country business. In rural districts, is good at present, and indications are that it will Jjnprove further this sea son. Part of this i due to what the Oregon Development League has done in helping settle our farming country. We are reaping big dividends from this investment of time and money. While this work should be continued, there are some things here in Portland that should be taken up. We should pay more attention to visitors, especially the investing class. "We should have small folders, or even a little card, that every business man could carry in his pocket, so when entertaining an Eastern visitor he will be in a position to give correct answers. i f - f - I M.
