He said that Oregon with her diversified climate, crops, in- ' tfnstries, mining, sports' and na ture lore should be more on the map of fame than she is. He said the whole trouble with, the Ore gonians were that a large percen tage of them did not have faith in their state and were pessimistic to strangers who might want to settle within bounds of her terri tory. He gave comparison with. Oregon's friendly rival, Califor nia, and showed how every Cali fornian was enthusiastic about things they had in their state and brought out that Oregon has twice as much but that half of the peo ple do not realize it. He said that there was not so much need to boost Oregon but that the people needed to give the state a break and quit knocking and let people come into the state see in without the usual pessimis tic remarks of native citizens making them prejudiced.
