acres practically in a lump. There

TOGGED OUT; LITTLE
OLD FRISCO IN SHADE.
"Why this town ha more
ration up for the Round-lf'
San Francisco had for the a,
fleet!" said a woman passing a.
Main street Ituit evening. Her V
mark seemed commonplace at first,
but to her hearer It occured that
perhaps she was right,

this year's Hound-Up like It never
did before. The visitors who are

the spirit. Maybe the strange wo

AT
Retail Employes Agree Regard
Ing Wants but Fropositonsj
Offered by Various Business
Houses Are in Variance
In an effort to reach an understand
ing and agreement satisfactory to
both sides, five members of the exe
cutive committee of the clerks' union
will meet with representative mer-
chant Monday night for a conference
regarding the proposed new scale ot
hour and conditions offered by the
clerks. So far seven local business
house have signed the argument and
are willing to stand, by It.
Although the retail clerk of the
city have come to an agreement re
garding their wants, the lack of or
ganisation among the various kind
of retail business house haa resulted
In a different proposition from nearly
every different businessman who haft
been approached. Some think they
will lose heavily If their stores are not
opened by 7:30, some object to a S
hour day, some want to keep open la
ter than i:S0 Saturday nights, and
othef ' considerations are offered.
Monday night's meeting will be an ef
fort to explain fully the union offers
and attempt to bring the merchants to
an agreement among themselves.
Member of the union point out
that If all house agree alike on
opening and closing hours, none will
suffer. They assert that their re
quests are reasonable and that few
cities, small or large, open their shops
before 8. In most towns the Saturday
evening open has been done away
with entirely.,
The clerks had a closed meeting
last evening at which time they took
t'D their request and outlined plan
for Monday' meeting. They are
hoping for a favorable report from
Monday's meeting.,

COUNTY TO BE ASKED
TO AID Iff ADVERTISING
Umatilla county, with the SS other
counties in the state or Oregon, will
be asked to appropriate S1000 for a
state advertising! lan t dvertlse
Oregon and the resources of the state
to the entire world with the idea of
developing the state from an ogricul
tural standpoint and attracting far
mers. The plan was adopted by the State
Chamber of Commerce in Portland
Thursday and the proposal will be
presented officially at the annual
convention of county officers.
It is proposed that the state cham
ber shall be designated to spend the
$36,000 first in preparing a booklet
that will present In intimate detail the
Particular resources of each county
and its peculiar -fitness for specialized
igrlculture, and second. In advertising
the booklet widely so that prospective
settlers may be attracted to Inquiry.
The county court of each county
shall prepare the section ot the book
let applying to that county, thus eli
minating any suspicion of special in
terest in presenting facts. The entire
work will be vouched for by the state
chamber as authentic In fact and fl-
rtire. A distribution scheme that will
Tive prompt circulation to the booklet
imong people who are actually possl
ble settlers will be worked out.
To Boost Enfire State
"Our difficulty has been in adver
ting Oregon." said E. S. Bramweil.
'fce-prpsident. "that individual cham
bers of commerce have expended
their own money to hearld their own
"vares. The effort has been unavail
'ng In almost every case and not al
vays alone due to the fact that po
lucers of such advertising permitted
too free and Imagination to guide
'he'r work. In the present plan It
's our hope to offer the prospective
settler exact data as to conditions and
possibilities In every county In the
nate. If a valley farmer raises SO'I
Hushels of wheat to the acre we will
ay that. In place of 50 or 75. Truth
ful Information will prove a greater
attraction than glowing falsehoods
that bring discredit first and deser
tion last. '
