The annual banquet and election of directors of the Baker Commercial club was held Monday evening, when 10 new direc tors to fill the. places of those who retire and one to fill a vacancy caused by a resignation, were chosen. The annual report of Secretary Meacham showed that during the last year the club did much to promote the general welfare of the county paying special attention to the things that benefit the farmers and ranchers, with always th Idea in mind that on the growth and development of the county at large depends the progress of the city. The action of the county court In cutting orr the appropriation for the county fair, which the club- has successfully staged the past three years, was de plored, bu it was said that possibly the club my be able to finance the fair unaided. The court's refusal to provide for a Baker county exhibit-at the San Francisco fair, while disheart ening, does not mean that it will be given up, for the members say they will attempt to raise money for that purpose. , In the program for next year a mem bership campaign will be the. first thing in order, and the club has al ready laid plans for a "Made in Baker" campaign, with the idea of promoting the use of home-made goods by the people of the city and county, so far as possible. . .-" j - , Good roads worlc will also be one of the important details of the club's work the next year,' and in this regard it will probably find the coufrty court cooperating with, rathej- than work ing against it. The routing of the Lincoln National highway through this county over the route of the. old Ore gon trail lias been secured, and with the cooperation of the automobile club and farmers, who the past few years have taken much interest in the good roads movement, much can be accom plished in this line. ? The business interests of the city are supporting the club well and it Is In good financial condition, with an as sured monthly income that will allow the booster organization to finance, unassisted, many of its plans for the next 12 months.

John Barrett, director general of the Pan-American union, has c"ome to Portland with a trade message from the Latin-American republics "Portland should have a very direct and very great interest in the busi ness; opportunity presented, especially at this time, by the countries of Cen tral -and South America "The trade of Latin America is $3,000,000,000 a year. It is perhaps the most valuable trade in the world to this country, because it represents practically a 100 per tent purchase of manufactured articles and a 100 per cent sale of raw products. "Our trade with Europe has been greater than our trade with j Latin America, but remember that Europe that . is, western Europe buys prin cipally our raw material and sells us its 'manufactured products. This kind of a trade, dollar for dollar, has- not one-tenth the economic value to this country that a trade like Latin-America has to offer. "The extent to which Portland will profit from trade with Latin-America will; depend upon the extent to which this; city avails itself of the trade op portunity. Portland has something to sell , to these countries. Let Portland organize to make the sales.' Doing business with South or Central Amer ica isn't different in principle than if Portland should extend business re lations from Oregon over into Idaho. "The Panama canal Is an important factor in the building up of trade re lations with Latin-America. It gives both coasts of the United States equal opportunity. Not at once will Pan ama! canal benefits be realized. The business already handled through the canal is surprisingly large considering war! conditions, but it will be a matj ter of comparatively slow growth." I Mr. Barrett says that in eight years;'! the i commerce of Latin-America has1! practically doubled. More now than; ever before the republics of the two; continents have sense of their unity! I of interest and their representatives;) are iworking together in a way that would have been considered impos sible a rew years ago.
