THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1916. Midsummer Automobile Exhibit, August 21-26 Inclusive at Meier & Franks, Basement Balcony, Admission Free i Here Are a Few Samples of the Values That Are Bringing Hundreds More People to Profit by v Visit of Editor Myrick May - Mean Farm Loan Bank. Tuesday Double Savings Day at Meier & Frank's MEETING HELD IMPORTANT IS CHAfJGE SHOWN t Chamber Calls for Attendance of All Persons Interested In Having Rural Credits Institution Established Here. It Is thought probable that the visit here by Herbert Myrick. editor in chief of the Orange Judd Farm Weeklies, may have an influence on the location . of a branch of the farm banks author ized by the farm loan bank bill which establishes rural credits. Mr. Myrick is to speak at the Cham ber of Commerce in Portland next Sat urday night at 8 o'clock. The members of the managing board, charged with the duty of putting the new loan system into, operation, will be in Portland September 6. They are coming here to investigate the advisa bility for placing the district bank here. The district bank will govern Oregon, Idaho and Washington, through branches. From Portland Mr. Myrick goes to Spokane and then East. It is believed that he will meet the members of the board somewhere east of Spokane and give them the benefit of his informa tion as to the interest being displayed in the new law. Opportunity Is Shown. To many Portlanders it is apparent that Portland and Oregon will be neglecting an opportunity if they fail to make a showing Saturday night next. It is being urged that a capacity crowd should turn out to hear Mr. Myrick. The Oregon development bureau of the Chamber of Commerce has sent notices to all associated commercial or ganizations and to all banks in the state. They have been asked to send representatives here for the meeting. It is thought that upon the interest shown in Saturday's meeting may hang the future of the bank. "The new law gives the farmer rural credits," said Whitney L. Boise, of the Chamber bureau. "We have got it after asking time and again for this sort of relief and now that we have got it there are many of us who know very little about it. Little la Known Here. "We know so little about it that there may be a question as to whether we can make practical application of the system. "Mr. Myrick is considered an author ity on the subject. He has studied rural credits for years and has advocated the system through the farm papers of which he is editor. In his address Saturday night he will tell us how to utilize the plan . for the better and stronger development of the farming interests of the Northwest. "From many angles the visit here of a man of the standing and ability of Mr. Myrick is worthy of our atten tion. He should be given a good crowd nil in the crowd should be the fore most men of both city and farm." SCENERY CLAIMS UNITED NORTHWEST CAMPAIGNS TO BE CON DUCTED UNDER one: HEAD. Beauty Spots May Be Presented to Tourist More Effectively by Com bination, It la Believed. The whole Northwest contemplates entering in a joint campaign to adver tise to tourists the scenic attractions that it has to offer. George E. Hardy, of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, returning yes terday from Seattle, announced the launching of the movement at a meet ing held Saturday at the Arctic Club, at which representatives of ten com munities of the Northwest were present. Another meeting has been called for September 6, in Seattle, at which the programme will be worked into more specific form. Representatives not only of the central communities of the Northwest, but of the transportation lines, hotels, tourist agencies and other organizations will participate in the meeting. It is believed that by combining their efforts all of the scenic centers will be able to exploit their attractions to the tourist more widely and more effec tively than if each section worked alone on its publicity campaigns. Glacier National Park, the Georgian route in British Columbia, the Canadian Rockies. Rainier National Park, the Columbia River Highway and Gorge Park, Crater Lake National Park and all the other scenic attractions of the Northwest will be combined and presented to the tourist as one wonder land trip. The combined financial back ing of the various communities will make possible more extensive publicity and the results are expected to be much greater for all sections partic ipating. The meeting in September will be at tended from Portland probably by Julius Meier, S. Benson, John Teon and other men who have been prominently identified with the development of the Columbia River Highway. .
