PROGRESS SURPRISES CLUB Portlanders Straggling Back From California, on Realizing Posslblll itlea of State, Organize to "Know Oregon First." BT MARK WOODRUFF. ABOARD THE FREIGHT TRAIN. RETURNING TO OREGON. May 31. (Special.) A portion of the Portland Ad Club delegation to the Pacific Coast convention at Sacramento has just left Medford agrain. Sunday before last at about this time the delegation sailed into the metropolis of the pear belt on a gaily bedecked special train, uniforms were white and clean, faces close shaved and all Jackson County grath- ere at the depot to receive the crowd from the Northwest and to afford the travelers a glimpse of the wonderful orchard development of the Rogue River Valley. A few hours before that Roseburg hospitably entertained the Oregon Washington crowd at a straw berry feast. Today there was nobody except a po liceman at the Medford station to greet the returning remnant. By stretching out flat on the bottoms of the cars the boys avoided causing the officer any iroume and the necessity of "cr 11 Ing" Medford's Mayor who had tendered the freedom of the city on the occasion ot our first visit. If good luck shall continue with' the expedition the Port land party will slip' thraugh Roseburg witnout attracting attention. Oregon's Prosmn Shown. On the down trip to Sacramento and until the lights of San Francisco and Oakland faded away behind them last merit the Ad Club delegations from Oregon and Washington have been happiest where the cameras were thick est, but today the only time they have ventured to pull a stunt ' was In cross ing the state line, when the Oregon men risked discovery by singing "Ore gon. My Oregon." The Portlanders grafted the Spirit of Spokane with the Portland Rose and changed the San Francisco-Oakland slogan from "Hands Around the Bay' to "Hands Up and Down the Coast," they secured hun dreds of pledges from Callfornians to -visit the Rose Festival in June, but today the delegates freely admitted woeful Ignorance of what is actually going on in Oregon. The expedition has been taught something of Califor nia, and it has, through two stops in its home state, been given just a glimpse of our own progress. The yellowed grain fields of the Sacramento Valley made the green slopes of the Rogue River district a welcome sight,, a comparison of Wil lamette Valley milk cans with canned olives was all in favor of the home in dustry, and the result was the forma tion of a club of men under the ban ner of "Know Oregon First." Towns Grow MarvelooBlr. . The Ad Clubbers marveled at the three-year transformation of Roseburg from a small county seat village with one mal nstreet, to a little city of sub stantially constructed business houses and paved streets, but it remained for the Medford men to furnish the lesson one what is being accomplished on the lands. Hustling the delegates into automo biles the Medford people whirled their machines through the apple and pear orchards to Ashland. The visitors were taken to the tops of high hills and shown a panaroma of 195,000 acres of arable lands. 65.000 acres of which are now planted to young orchards and from which 2000 cars of fruit will go out to market this year. By 1914 it is estimated that Medford will send 6000 cars of fruit to the consumer. In anticipation of this activity Jack son County is now considering a good roads activity which calls for the ex penditure of $1. 500,000 in substantial highway construction, and which will he ready to carry the machines of the 1915 Ad Clubbers on their journey to the convention at Los Angeles. Of Medfgrd itself the up-to-dateness of the appearance of the city, its parks and lights and the splendid spirit of its people, will make It necessary for the "Oregon. 'First" Club to give the city place on its regular itinerary The citizens are doing things, and as J. A. Westerlund, State Representative remarked. "She ha? more money per individual in the banks than ever in her history." Sacramento Is Prosperous. Medford compares in spirit with that of Sacramento. The little California citv spills hospitality at every pore and . is proud to show off her orange groves, her olive plantations, her parks and her Industries. With not a single vacant business house in the retail district Sacramento is considered one of the most prosperous cities of the state to the south. Just recently Sac ramento purchased S00 acres of the J. B. IlaKKln farm for a park, and al though 2 "4 miles from the. city the park is being improved at this time. In good roads California is far ahead of other Coast States, and the oil roads of that state appear especially adapt able to Oregon. They are made with a base of crushed stone, on which crude oil 18 poured until a surface ts secured. In cool weather, such as usually pre vails in Oregon, these roads would toe Ideal. Their only wea" appears to be a tendency to soften under ex treme heat. The Portlanders who are straggling in on this stockyards special do not know what kind of a reception awaits them at home, but they have done their best to inculcate the "new Coast spirit" of getting together for a great er West and have tightened the grip of friendly hands on all sides of the big city where "water grade meets ocean trade." DALLAS PUTS IN PAVING Hard 'Surface Streets and Xew Build ings Are Marks ot Progress. DALLAS, Or., May 31. (Special.)

Hill, of the Hill lines, and party arrived In this city Friday morn ing and visited for an h6ur In the Com mercial Club rooms. Mr. Hill talked for 20 minutes and related how the Oregon Electric had been bought by the Hill lines. He said that when the Oregon Electric was first offered ho made a trip West and went over tho Willamette Valley and Washington County. He returned to New York and was late at a session that was consid ering the advisability of purchase.

When he had concluded the board of directors reversed their de cision and the purchase was made. The speaker complimented, the club on its handsome home and said that many cities of more than 10.000 were not so fortunate. Referring to the Willamette Valley. Mr. Hill said that he considered it the "garden spot ot the world," and greater in production, considering acreage, than any terri tory invaded by the Hill systems. ' Ha predicted an Immensely greater popu lation within a few years and said that Washington County reminded him of the suburban farm country outside of New York and Philadelphia. President Young, of the Spokane. Portland & Seattle, made a five min utes' address, and said that after the Hill interests had Invaded Oregon ter ritory It had meant millions of expen diture in railway construction, and that the advent had caused the South em Pacific and Harriman lines to make four rails grow where formerly there were but two. F. W.- Graham, the Industrial agent for the Great Northern, asked for and received data as to production and as to Hillsboro's needs in manufacturing industries. Mr. Hill and Mr. Young were driven out a mile, were taken to a mill site, club officials explaining that Hillsboro is w-ithin 25 miles of the big Nehalem timber belt and that logs were already being shipped here for manufacture into lumber.
