It was all set as for a play. No minor detail of the set ting must be overlooked. . Sud denly a curtain ascended some where and the picture was re vealed a large canvas of 7 by 11 feet. In the half light it was very real. There lived again those splendid pioneers, gathered upon the river's bank, in front of the famous old warehouse of the In the mdteground, under Hudson Hay company. It seemed a scene rather than a painting, with the life-like appearance of the men and the sunlight per meating the center of the assem blage. The outstanding feature of the drama portrayed was the moment when Jospeh L. Meek stepped out of th3 building, ap peared with uplifted hand and called for "a divide." His op ponent. Father Blanchette. the leader of the Canadians, is seen with elevated, chin, and back turned: to Meek, an expression of victory written upon his face.

Out of the darkness behind us came the voire of the old man, but it was not the voice of an old man now. " It was instead the voice of eternal youth, the voice of an artist of one who bad created something: "Four years ago 1 cam? her it, look over the possibilit es; to pe what there was, and I saw the wonderful historical value ol .uh a jiaintins. : But the arduous rrft rt showed, me that there was iH!! rraterial;to be icund to sirt me.

I MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT! TO BE READ (Continued from page 1) I ;V: SALEM -COMMERCIAL CLUB MEMBERS To balance business in Salem, more and more industries are re quired here Factories tchich are subject to seasonable fluctuations wilt not alone help to make Salem the city it should, and can be. . ' : ' . Industrial devel&jrment along lines which will provide fairly regular employment the year 'round are particularly needed. . , - - - Sevtral towns in Washington have had located in their midst, plants, which by virtue of their products might just as icell have been situated in Salem. ' K : It is true tliat in some cases inducements have been offered the owners, but there is no reason why similar inducements should not be pre pared by Salem and offered where necessary if it means the difference bettceen a factory locating in Salem or elsewhere. - Other towns In the State of Oregon desire new business undertakings. Bull believe that the one way to get anything is to go out and get it! In other words I shall receive at the annual general meeting of the dub on Thursday night, nomination as Industrial Director for 192 1 for . the club. And I think that by "going after it". I shall have a better chance of success. ; Probably an advertisement to. solicit rotes for such an office may be a little unique, but I take the Salem Commercial Club seriously, and I am convinced that such an organization does even more to mold the des tinies of a community than even a city council. Coimcillors cdveiiisc for support, and I consider it logical to do the same. 1 Therefore? Gentlemen, I respectfully solicit your votes for tvhich in return, I will, if elected, offer devotion to the office in addition to doing what I can to advocate the mast rigid economy in the management of the club (even trading of f a billiard table, if necessary so that a little money miaht be available for prizes for d Salem Corn Show a Salem Flower Showr-n Salem Poultry Show, and competitions in accord tcith the "Salem Bcautifur movement.) .And I will, should ever the occasion arise em phatically denounce any movement which might hare a tendency to cause a clique. - :::' " f y . - ' ' . . ; ; r.'; .y- ; ..; . , -..
