What seem necessary is that an earnest effort shall be made, either under the present organization or some other to lie mutually agreed upon, and that agents lie apjxiintcd throughout Oregon, Washington aud Idaho, who sliall make an earnest and simultaneous appeal to citizens generally, so that all shall contribute, if only a trifle each, and the rich men of Portland, especially those who were early pioneers, should, it seems to us, feel pride iu lending their name to lead the movement with liberal sunn subscribed there t.
