For the diversified needs and ac tivities of a city only a Chamber of Commerce can epeak. When it comes to a presentation of the common needs and interests of a state, the duty devolves upon a state chamber of commerce. Next comes a province to present the needs of the west there must be a -western federation that can urge the needs of any part of the west with the assurance that the entire west is behind it. These were salient points in talks made before the Oregon State Cham ber of Commerce smoker at the Mult nomah hotel last night, when over 400 Portland business men listened to the aims, the ideals, the hopes and achievements of the state chamber. 9I.V,0OO Canipaien Nlatrd.

"We only have to tell the truth about Oregon to get the people here," . opined George L. Baker, "and the etate chamber of commerce is one means of getting every person in the state aroused to the needs of the state." "There are not enough people in the state," remarked Dr. Henry Gaines Hawn, "but, after all, that only means that those who are here must work the harder.' John L. Etheridge, who presided, said the state chamber was the only . body which could speak for the en tire state.
