Strahorn Line and Lumber Situation Among First. In the adoption last Tuesday night of the extensive development pro gramme the Chamber of Commerce, through its board of directors, has committed itself to three big policies that it intends shall be made its main lines of endeavor. For the prosecu tion of those three policies most of the staff will be used and the majority of the funds will be appropriated. Those three big policies are commer cial expansion and development, indus trial development and Oregon develop ment. The commercial expansion plan adopted by the Chamber provides for a most aggressive effort in respect to the extension and Improvement of the commerce of this community. The gen ial outline of this work has already been approved in the form of a report submitted to the board by the trade and commerce bureau, of which Na than Strauss is chairman. Working Tinder authority given by the board, Mr. Struass' committee has already undertaken several concrete efforts in respect to the improvement of com mercial conditions, working nearly en tirely along the lines of establishment or water transportation. Lack of Shipping One Weaknem It is the view of this committee that the greatest weakness of the commun ity today is the aDsence 01 snipping, The fact that producers, manufacturers and Jobbers of this region are denied the opportunity to compete in the mar Jcets of the Pacific aid the foreign markets of the world. Is clearly hav ing an injurious influence upon devel opment of the community and the ter ritory around It. Therefore, tne com mercial expansion plan provides for giving chief attention at the begin ning to the matter of providing water transportation. Mr. Strauss' committee is giving practically its entire consid eration to the subject of new water lines. The industrial development work, which will be under the direct guid ance of the industries and manufac tures committee, of which John Tait is chairman, is also comprehensive. IT undertakes to provide for the existing industries, as well as new industries which the community would seek. All if the details of this work have not been formulated, but Mr. Tait's com mittee, consisting of 11 leading manu facturers and business men, is busy with the problem of getting adopted some aggressive, conservative plan wherein the community may be invited to aid in the establishment of indus tries and wherein the maximum pro tection may be given investors. Bureau to Lend Influence. One of the first efforts will be to aid the existing industries. The bureau, of course, has no funds to Invest. All it will undertake to do is to bring the investor and the Industry needing cap ital together. Surveys will be made of raw materials, economic conditions, etc.. and this data will be put before Interested parties freely. In addition to this work in respect to new industries and manufacturing additions, it Is the purpose of the bu reau to work out a concrete and com prehensive plan for stimulating Inter est in home products. It will not be the object to make this plan narrow or exclusive In its nature, but yet to render all reasonable aid to the local manufacturer In the matter of getting cis goods introduced in the territory wnere ne operates. Many other features of the work are under discussion and will be evolved as quicmy as tne committee and sub- committees can get at the task and can secure the necessary funds to carry out xne wont, Oregon development or development or iriDutary territory, which is the third essential plan of the Chamber, differs from former work in that it contemplates going directly after spe- cuic projects or opportunities that are revealed fdr Increasing the business, Industries and population of the ter ritory tributary to Portland. Strahorn Line In Mind. - The first proposition of this charac Ter that will come before the Oregon Development Bureau will be Robert Gtrahorn's new railway for the central part of the state. This ereat enter- prise has been slowly progressine. Until fv fii.Qhnrn t- 1 -V 4. A . J ne Derore fortland and the other communities of the state with a defi nite announcement of the cost of the work and discuss with the people here end throughout the state the propor tion of financial support that should bo rendered by Oregon. The manage ment of the Chamber regards this great enterprise as one of the most opportune things that the Chamber can 'seize to help develop the state, and the Oregon Development Bureau will be in readiness to co-operate on Whatever line is finally agreed to by Dy atranorn and the Chamber. Many other state problems are to be epproached as rapidly as they can be reached. Drainage of portions of the Willamette Valley, reclamation of arid lands or semi-arid lands in the eastern part of the state, the flax in- dustry. cheese production, fruit pack- ing, fruit by-products, and manv other opportunities for concrete work have been suggested and are being developed as rapidly as possible. These will eto before the Oregon Development Bureau and, through this branch of the Cham her, the entire organization and. as the board of directors hope, the city will be put back of them for all the help that can be rendered. . In adopting three essential lines of work it is not the purpose of the board of directors of the Chamber to do away entirely with other lines of ac tivities. All of the bureaus that were organized a year and a half ago will be maintained and the managing- com mittees of each will be in the harness. This Includes civic, taxation and legis lation, retail merchants, publicity and conventions and grain standards. It will be the purpose to have the work cf these bureaus performed as largely as possible by the managing commit tees themselves or voluntary commit tees named by the chairman of the b reau and to try to relieve the staff much as possible from heavy duties ties ige- tire in connection with It. This arran ment will need practically the en funds of the Chamber for the three main lines of activities stated and will permit the organization to put a drive and a pressure upon these important activities which will mean early suc cess. Lumber Problem Big One. The lumber bureau, which Is th ninth bureau of the organization and the most recently organized, will given most Important consideration. Arrangements are being made whereby it is hoped that this work may be con ducted jointly by the Chamber ot Com merce and the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Association. If so, the main burden of the lumber bureau would be taken by the lumber manu facturers generally who are members of the West Coast Association, but the Chamber would give it all attention and consideration that is needed to de velop this leading industry of the en tire Northwest. One of the -greatest studies in the industrial and commer cial line that will be urged upon -the community is full protection and ex pansion of the lumber business, because it is recognized that this industry will for years and years employ vastly more men than any other industry here. The financial statement rendered to the board of directors at the -meeting Tuesday evening showed a very rapid FORMER PORTLAND PASTOR RETl'RV!

The obligations of ther Chamber are being paid up very fast and within a short time It should have everything In the way of debts taken care of.

In the ad ministrative department alone the re duction in operating cost has been about $2400 per month, and other im portant economies have been intro duced in respect to the building and the club. The board of directons' meeting Tuesday evening declared that, with a slightly Improved membership sup port, the Chamber would quickly take care of all of its obligations and then nave a substantial fund for use in the great development plan which it has adopted and which is to be given pri mary consideration in all future work.
