Poultryman Contest Sponsored by Argus “Oregon owes a great debt to early mission tries in this territory such as John Smith (¿riffin, for they left the cultural things that endure.” Thus Rufus ('. Holman, descendant of Oregon pioneer stock and now serving the state as treas urer, paid tribute to Oregon’s pio neers at the opening service cele brating the 125th birthday anni- ver*ary of Father Griffin, founder of the local Congregational church, here last night. "'The missionaries brought culture, law and order out of the rough pioneer world,” he declared. Opening the talk on “Oregon's Debt to the Pioneer*,” Mr Hohn.an gave a brief sketch of the life of Father (¡riffin, recounting his early education, missionary work and hl» a*signment to the Oregon country. Mrs. Griffin was the first white woman to come into the Tualatin plains when Father and Mrs. Grif fin came here in 18 40, according to the records. In 1841 he founded a church in the Tualatin valley that w i* the predecessor of the present Congregational church of Hillsboro. ‘•This is a material age in which people are judged bv their material wealth and not by their deeds/* stated Mr. Holman. “Such men as Father Griffin have left their mirk for all time in the founding of churches, colleges and govern-1 ment.” Trlecrams o f congratulations from Herbert Hoover. Franklin D.1 Roosevelt and Julius L. Meier were read by George McGee, who pre sided at the anniversary meeting.; “Land of the Empire Builders/’ was sung during the program by Claire Beeler. The telegram from Albany read, “It is a privilege to join with you in a tribute to the memory of John Smith Griffin on the 125th anniversary of his birth. It is well for us to be reminded from time to time of what we owe to him and other pioneering leaders who had so much to do with the wonderful heritage that has come down to us. I sincerely hope that I may have the opportunity at some time of visiting the historic rpot where in 1841 Father Griffin held his first services.—Franklin D.

I had put Tillamook in a hole with Co-operative Power League of Oregon Formed at Meeting Saturday i State Aid Sought Government Willamette Production on River Asked Dr. J. O. Robb of Hillsboro was elected president of the Cooperat ive Power League of Oregon at the organization meeting last Sat urday in the Portland Chamber of Commerce rooms. The group was organized to promote legislation to the end that the state will devel op and transmit power, and sell it at cost to municipalities and power districts, and to start Oregon municipally owned powrer projects looking forward to the time when the federal government will bring into operation the •*ower from the Willamette and Columbia rivers Representatives from 10 cities were present at the conference. Project Explained Before the federal government will launch a project of any mo ment, such as the development of the Willamette and Columbia rivers, it is necessary to provide a market for the power, stated Dr. Robb. Of necessity this market cannot be created overnight and it is tlpe pur pose of the league to get valley cities lined up with their own trans mitting and distributing lines oper ating to be ready for the time that the government will have power to sell. The key to the situation lies, not in the manufacture of power, but in the transmitting and distribution systems, declared Dr. Robb. The league is working on a plan similar to the one operating in Ontario, Canada, according to Dr. Robb. This project was begun in 1903 and began supplying power to cities in 1910. In 1928 the Dro- ject was supplying 550 municipal ities in the province. At th.it time the toal investment amounted to *286,164.715 and was yielding *34,- 056,707 in revenue annually. Dr. , Robb declared that at present the ! investments had increased to $685,- 000,000 without the cost of a cent i to taxpayers. Representatives Present Representatives from Vancouver, Wash., Tillamook, Eugene, Salem, McMinnville, Newberg, Beaverton, Portland, Hillsbor«^ and 'The Dalles attended the first session of the Co-operative Power league of Ore gon. A brief resolution which passed at the meeting follows: Whereas it appears that through coopera tion of many cities in the building of one large power plant, instead of many small isolated power plants, very great economies can be made available to all of such cooperating cities, and Whereas it is difficult for such cities without the cooperation of the state, to jointly finance the construction of such a large distant power plant and it appearing that the state of Oregon is now author ized to engage in the power busi ness and can come to the assis tance of many widely scattered cities and power districts by virtue of the passage of the Grange con stitutional amendment at the re cent election, therefore, Be it resolved, that a permanent organisation be formed by the elec tion of officers for the Co-operative Power league of Oregon, with authority vested in the president to appoint new members from other Oregon cities. The objectives are as follows: 1. Urge state legislation provid ing for state development and transmission of power (tax free) and sale at cost to municipalities and power districts, also for sale direct to wholesale users of power at suitable prices not less than cost following a policy designed to “Get the Business** for Oregon, cities and districts to provide own distribution systems and sell power at cost in conformity with the precedent established in Ontario, Canada. 2. Request Oregon delagation in Congress to urge goveiment engin eers to make public plans and est- [ irnates of cost for building dams and locks in the Willamette valley i to Salem to control floods and give cheap slack water transportation, with power to be developed at ’ such a dam, and a bill authoriz- (Continued on pa»e 8) Hilhi and Forest Grove Clash Thanksgiving; Tillamook Victor a long punt to the one-yard line.
