Programme of Entertainment to
Reflect Genuine Portland Hos
pitality; All to Register.
The sum of $120,000 will be spent
during buyers' week In Portland by the
visitors who are coming "from all sec
tions of the Pacific coast, not taking
into consideration the merchandise
orders that will be placed, in the
opinion of the committee in charge.
Plans for taking care of the crowds in
a way to reflect Portland hospitality
to the best advantage are being worked ,
out.
During the week 2000 buyers are
expected. It is estimated that these
men will spend an average of $10 a day
in Portland on hotel accommodations,
meals and amusements. This will mean
$60 per person for the entire six days
for Buyers week, or $120, OOy in all. As
a large proportion of the buyers are
bringing their wives or famines to
Portland for the week, the above esti
mate is considered very conservative.
Portland hotel men are working out
plans for taking care of the visitors
In the best possible manner, and the
care of the buyers in this respect will
be greatly facilitated by the registra
tion plan which has been adopted by
the Chamber of Commerce. Each buyer
is supposed to register at the Oregon
building immediately upon arrival here.
In the ev-ent that some of the buyers
will prefer private homes for sleeping
accommodations during their visit, ar
rangements are being made by the
chamber for listing such available
rooms and people who have places
which will be open during that week
are requested to telephone the informa
tion to the Chamber of Commerce.
"yrE CORDFALLY invite you to visit our store Make it
your headquarters and enable us to demonstrate our readi
ness to make your Portland visit pleasant and helpful.

bank, are especially indicative of the
success of the experiment. Last fall
he spread 20.000 pounds of sulphur over
his 200 acres. He expects to harvest
within a short time on a 20-acre tract
that was sown to alfalfa with a nurse
crop of oats 100 bushels to the acre.
On a 40-acre plot the increase in pro
duction will amount to one-half greater
than last year.
The coBt of the sulphuring; was $5
an acre, which included the expense of
distribution over the land. The bene
fits will be noticed for four years, with
the best results in the second, and third
years.
