At a meeting of the directors it was
decided to postpone the election of offi
cers until next Wednesday. Mr. Mc
Mahan. who was one of the first to sug
gest the organization of the associa
tion, said because of the European war
it would be difficult to predict what
prices would obtain this year, but ne
had no doubt they would be satis
factory. The yield in Europe, he
thought, would be much less than nor
mal, which would make a shortage
there and a consequent greater demand
for the Oregon product.
A constitution and bylaws, prepared
by John H. McXary. a lawyer of this
city, were explained by Mr. McXary.
They were adopted without comment.
Professor McFherson, of the department
of economics. Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, said the association would be of
Inestimable benefit to the growers and
the industry generally.

Sensational Paper Scored and The Ore

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, March 20. (Special.) Phil
S. Bates, editor of the Pacific North
west, addressed the Oregon Agricul
tural College Commercial Club this
week on the subject of the utilization
of the Dress for advertising purposes.
Mr. Bates dealt chiefly with the
adaptability of the big city dailies,
National magazines and trade or class
publications to the different require
ments of effective advertising. Of
these he named the dallies as the only
medium of advertising absolutely re
aulslte to success.
"A ourely sensational paper," he
said, "that distorter of news and bom
bastic liar that makes a sensation out
of nothing and blankets the good side
of life always showing the bad side
of it. is a journalistic monstrosity and
should be suppressed.
"The great papers of the country are
grand in character, wide in circulation,
maintaining their integrity and giving
to the people enough of the trutn ana
not of the unwelcome side of human
affairs, to satisfy any reasonable mind.
Among these are The Morning uregon
ian and the Springfield Republican
both known nationally for high Intel
lectual and moral tone. These qual
ities are of distinct value to adver
tisers, both on account of the character
of their readers and their air of re
liability presaged by the news and
editorial columns.
"Trade In the great centers is limited
and the liberal advertiser gets the
most of it. other things being equal.
The thousands and thousands of visit
ors to every large city read the dailies
while in town and buy largely accora
ing to the advertising found in them.
Advertising also creates demands and
moulds conditions, especially by ap
peals to the definite group of buyers.

Frank Reeves Tells 'Wenatehee

Vv;NATCHEE, Wash., March 21.
(Special.) Frank Reeves, member of
the Legislature from Chelan county,
made an address last Sunday night
at the Twilight service at the Con
gregational Church on the suDjeci,
"The Difficulty of Securing Moral Leg
islation During the Last Session of the
Legislature." As a result of his 60
days' service in the Legislature he
is now an avowed advocate of the
commission form of government for
the state-
Accord ine to Mr. Reeves, the three
difficulties in obtaining moral legis
lation were the indifference of the
public: the present unwise system of
eeislation and partisansnip. ne saio.
that it mattered not which party was
in power, the vice interests would
work with the strong party.
Mr. Reeves said that the chairman or
the public morals committee was an
officer of the Seattle Brewing Com
pany, and secretary of the State Brew
ers' Association. A bill directed at the
white slave traffic was introduced into
this Legislature, and referred to this
committee. He Kept it in nis pocKei
for 38 days, although it was asked for
every day In the House, and the rules
stated that it must ne reported wiinin
ten days. At last a motion was made
that it be brought Irom committee.
This man made a motion that he be
allowed ten days' more time. ?his
was granted, and a distinctly moral
bill was killed because the Legisla
ture had adjourned before the expira
tion of the ten days. Mr. Reeves be
lleves that this bill would have had
two-thirds of the votes in its favor if
it could have been brought to vote.
