The papers will be ready this week, at
which time they will be placed In the
hands of a force of clrculatora. They

With harmony and a united and a
common purpose as their motif. H rep
resentative business men from Puget
Sound. British Columbia and Western
Canada provinces assembled at the
Portland Commercial Club last night
and were told of the many advantages
and attractions of their various local
ities, spoke of a coming greatness for
the entire West, and advanced methods
for most expediently aiding the West to
realization of that greatness.
The visitors left Seattle yesterday on
a journey of the enure length of the
Pacific Slope, that Is to end at Los An
geles February . After that they will
visit at will the various parts of Cali
fornia. The party Is traveling In a
special train, under the auspices of the
Ol-W. R. N. in conjunction with the
(Southern Pacific
Wrlcesae Is ExteadX.
Marking the end of th first stage
of their Journey after leaving Seattle,
the party reached Portland at o'clock
yesterday evening. They were met at
the station by committees from the
Chamber of Commerce, the Commercial
Club, the Portland Kose Festival Asso
ciation, the Oregon Development
League, the Elks National convention
committee, the Rotary, the Ad. the
Press and the Progressiva Business
Wen's Clubs, and wese shown about the
city In automobiles.
At o'clock dinner was served at
the Commercial Club. After the dinner
the travelers had an hour left In which
to view the city. At 10:30 P. M. their
train left the Union station for Its
aouthera destinations. Short stops are
scheduled to be made at Grants Pass,
Medford and Ashland today.
President Piper, of the Commercial
Club, presided at the dinner. He spoke
of the growing spirit of harmony be
tween the Coast cities, and Introduced
all of the speakers. Those speaking
were Joseph Blethen. manager of the
Seattle Potlatch: George U. Hyland. of
the Portland Rotary Club; Robert Lee.
district passenger agent of the 0.-W.
K. N. at Tacoma; Tom Richardson,
P. X. SIcTavlsh. of Vancouver. B. C ;
Uua C Moser. chairman of the enter
tainment comlmttee of the Elks con
vention, and B. H. Thompson, of Cen
tralis, -Cmmt Spirit" Ke4 .
Mr. Blethen dwelt upon the need of
fostering what he termed "a Coast
spirit."
"It Is one of the assets of the states
to the north, and. !( we take a step
farther north, of British Columbia, that
every one beUeves his city the best
eUy," he said. "But there haa arisen
a Coast spirit that Is Just as Important
aa the Individual civic spirit. Ctvlo
organlsaUons are realising that as long
aa they talk Individual things they are
missing opportunities.
-There are two reasons why differ
ent localities try to get publicity. One
la to get people to make their homes
with them, and the other Is to get busi
ness. For the former, the Individual
aptrlt la the proper thing, but to ee
eore the latter, a broader, a more gen
eral spirit. Is necessary.
"For altogether proper reasons we
are now Journeying toward California.
We are not going to Sacramento or Kan
Francisco or Los Angeles or Paso Ro
bles. but to California. Why not re
verse that programme and aay to the
people of the East and the Engllah
peaking world. "Come to the Wsst In
July and August.'
Call te Ceaat Urged.
"The traveling public doesn't care for
Seattle aa against Portland, or Port
land as against Vancouver, but It doea
ear for the pleasant Summer weather.
Let ns combine and tell them that the
West Is a manufacturing plant of
weather, scenery, auto roads, yachting
advantages and courses that cannot be
equaled by boiling Sweden, Switzerland
and Norway In one chunk."
Mr. Blethen spoke of a plan whereby
all of the cities of the West would ar
range entertainments during the Sum
mer months, such aa the Rose Festival
and the Potlatch. and advertise them
In common, as the most efficacious
means of attracting people to the
West.
"We are not after the thousands or
people from cast of the Mississippi," he
aajd, "but we want the people from
the hot states around us, who are In
the habit of going East, and it la that
plan that Is going to bring them out."
A large pair of scissors waa aus
pended from the celling at one end of
the room, which. It waa explained, rep
resented -consolidated optimism." With
It, one speaker said, the West could
"clip the wings of ths world."
HylaaeTa Rsssarka Dsswresa
Mr. Hyland paid a high tribute to
tne Canadian people. "You people
across Use Imaginary line of this
continent are our own people Intensi
fied." he said. A humorous rhetorical
flow, -In which he painted the picture
presented by "the twin peaks. Mount
Tacoma and Mr. Rainier." provoked
considerable mirth among the guests.
After speaking seriously of the
wonderful progress made by Portland,
Robert Lee told. In a semi-humorous
way, of the achievements of Tacoma.
"It la the city of big things," he said.
-Amons other big things we have the
largest totem pole In the world, and we
made it rlRht at home, and didn't have
to go to Alaska to steal It, as Seattle
dUl hers."
Tom Richardson dwelt on the timber
body on the Pacific Coast, which he
raid would furnish cargoes when the
Panama Canal was opened, and Mr. Mc
Tavlsh. of Vancouver. B. C. told of
the Immense wheat production of the
Canadian provinces, and of the great
progress being made by his city. In
111 Its building permits were $13,900.
