Sensenich and Cam- Growth of Cities and Towns Visual ized Roseburg Hospitality Is Typical of Spirit of All. ROSEBUEG, Or.. Oct. 18. (Special.) Portland business men representing the Chamber of Commerce tonight ex pressed their gratification that in the six-day trip through southern Oregon there has been manifested at every point a spirit of friendly interest and willingness to co-operate in the move ment for a greater Oregon. The growth that has been made by cities and towns and general advance ment of their trade territory has been a surprise when visualized by visits to the places where more than $25, 000,000 of goods are sold over the counters annually. Statements of traveling salesmen laid down on the desks of executives does not convey the understanding that is gained by a personal visit, nor does it have the effect in creating good will resulting from acquaintance with the individual whose name is signed to orders that come through the mails from the road forces of Jobbers and manufacturers. The exhibits of Oregon manufac tured goods in all of the towns was one of the features that aroused local interest in the coming of the delega tion to the five cities Included in the itinerary, and novelty, artistic merit and diversification of ideas carried out disclosed that there are expert window dressers in the smaller cities of Oregon. Towns All Favor Highway. Ashland. Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, Medford and Roseburg are all a unit in furtherance of the plans for the great highway system that is under construction to connect the tourist attractions of the whole state. Each has its own local problems re lated to progress of the whole com monwealth, in which the moral assist ance of Portland is sought. Substantial aid in the way of financ ing some of these projects is a mat ter for individual action after study of each particular project. Nathan Strauss, chairman of the excursion committee, today called a meeting of the delegation which was held in the observation car as the train left Rose burg on the last leg of the homeward journey, to discuss the information obtained and formulate conclusions that will be embodied in a report of the chairman and supplemented by recommendations to the directors of the chamber by the four board mem bers accompanying the party on the trip. The reports and recommendations will not be made public until sub mitted to the directors of the cham ber for action. However, it can be said that the impression gained has been such that the heads of big busi ness and representatives of the lead ing banks are intensely interested in helping the people of southern Oregon to achieve some of the things out lined at the various places visited during the week. Growth of Business Seen. The investigation of trade condi tions, the industrial situation and commercial relationships bave been made by the travelers with care and keen discernment of the assured growth in volume of business and de velopment of lateet resources now just gaining headway. It has been a seriously considered array of interrogations that have been presented, and the business men have replied that they desire to culti vate the trade territory of all south ern Oregon, in which they propose to give service, maintain high standards of efficiency in regard to the civic questions and transportation matters, such as the Strahorn railroad at Klamath Falls, the cut-off. The open ing of the Indian reservation, exten sion of the railroad now built out 15 miles from Grants Pass to Illinois valley, backing the movements for highways. The official utterance on these matters will come from the official beard of the chamber, but the delega tion at conference tonight revealed that, to a man, they, are all boosters for southern Oregon, united in the purpose to impart to every member of the chamber and to every business man of Portland the comprehensive knowledge gained of the region. Cordial Reception Delights. One of the pleasant surprises of the trip was the cordial feeling manifest ed by business men everywhere. Oc casional citizens of some of the towns visited lodged complaints, but on the whole there was only rejoicing that the metropolis had sent a delegation truly representative of its modern spirit of co-operation and good-will, reflected in warmth of welcome that left no doubt of mutual pride of state. One speaker at a banquet expressed the apparent feeling of the people of Southern Oregon, when he said that they would not become a part of an other state, even if they could, that they were so happy and proud to be citizens of Oregon and working to gether with Porotland it angered them that a pound of their products went to the ultimate consumer with any other than an Oregon label. Al most every man in the delegation had some suggestion to make to the com mittee in charge as to recommenda tions that should be made to the di rectors of the chamber. All of these were directed to the same general ob ject of aiding in practical ways the ambitions for development, through loyal moral support of worthy enter prise. Oregon manufacturers received wide publicity and aroused enthus iastic support in the cities of southern Oregon through the display of pro ducts in windows of stores. The as sociated industries of Oregon awarded prizes at each town for the best show ing of manufactured products of the state. Roseburg Gracions Host. Roseburg welcomed the visitors with genuine hospitality, providing autos for trips into the surrounding country and wherever the individuals wished to go, resulting in several at tempting to lure the festive trout from the Umpqua. After luncheon the entire party was taken for a tour of the valleys in the heart of which nestles the seat of Douglas county. The drive included visits to apple and prune orchards where the pack of fruit is in progress, straw berry fields, with ripening fruit, from which were supplied the berries served at the dinner. Some dairy farms and several of the scenic at tractions of the locality. W. C. Harding, president of the Roseburg chamber of commerce presided at the dinner which was served by the women of the mental culture club. Covers were laid in the assembly room of the First Fresby- CROIX DE Gl ERRE AWARDED TO PORTLAND SOLDIER SOW IN HOSPITAL.. ji .'

R Cook of 430 East Fortieth street North, that he has received the French croix de guerre with palm for valorous action with the 2d division in the Cham pagne offensive. The captain of his company was killed immediately-after going over the top, and, although Lieutenant Cook was slightly wounded by the same shell, he took command of the company and led it until his unit - was recalled, eight days later. This was his first experience under fire. In a subsequent action in the Meuse-Argonne drive he re ceived a wound in one arm, which resulted in his being re turned to the United States late in December. He was a pas senger on the Northern Pacific when she went aground on Fire island. Lieutenant Cook is now at Letterman hospital, San Fran cisco, where he recently under went an operation which is ex pected to restore his arm to its normal condition. At the time of entering the war he was in the employ of the Equitable Savings and Loan association. eron Squires, of whom the four first named are directors of the chamber. and with Chairman Strauss of the excursion committee the official rep resentatives or the civic body of the trip. All of the addresses were in optimistic vein. With a total volume of business ag gregating 14.700,000 annually it was stated that approximately 90 per cent of the trade goes to Portland jobbers, wholesalers of manufactures, and the remainder goes to distant points for goods not readily obtainable except from their sources of supply.

"Much of the present industrial un rest will be dissipated when the church and organized labor come to an understanding." declared Rev. D. L. Schultz, of Pittsburg. Pa., in an address before an audience of men at the local Y. M. C. A. last night. Dr. Schultz, who is known throughout the country as the labor evangelist, is a member of 11 unions, and is a rep resentative of the Federal Council of Churches in the American Federation of Labor. In his talk last nisit Dr. Schultz told of conditions in the mining dis tricts in Pennsylvania with which he is familiar, and which are among those conditions which he is working to prevent. The breach between the church and these organizations is caused by false impressions of the church among working people and also by the fact that the church mem bership is not wholly supporting the Christian doctrines which the church represents, he said. Miss Edna Ferguson, soloist of the Calvary Presbyterian church, sang delightfully two songs, "Little Mother of Mine" and "My Task." with Miss Ruth Agnew at the piano. Ilome-Xurslng Course to Open.
