"Yes, I think it is," I said. "Until

hurt others, I would not be satisfied
to be away."
I hojied, as I said this, that my

my mother as it did to me.
Peeling that I could not bear her
sympathetic' scrutiny any longer, I
made an excuse to leave the room
and Charles followed me. He (vmeht

shook me gently by tne imprisoned

"Yes, I think he would come."

murmured: "The strange credulity of

To the Gditor: I am taking the lib
erty of addresstntf vnn on the suh-
Ject of the Oregon State Chamber of
Commerce and the' first annual meet
ing which is to be held on December
29, 30 and 31 at Portland, Oregon, at
the Portland cluvmber of commerce
rooms-tm the 7th floor of the Oregon
Building.
I consider the Oregon State Cham,
ber a great asset to the state of Ore
gon and feel that, without fail every
one who can should attend this meet
ing for the benefit of the great state
of Oregon, and of course, more par
tiularly our own section.
I can say with pride that, up to
the present time Salem and Marion
county have been the greatest support
to the State Chamber. during Its first
year, and through the efforts of the
manager of the Salem Commercial
Club, Mr. T. E. McCrosxy, we have
accomplished more in Marion county
in the way of definite organization
and development wrk than any
county in the statfe of Oregon, and it
is up to Marion county to keep up this
reputation, not only the renutatton for
doing things, but actually doing them
and one way to do them is to attend
this meeting. We want to have a
strong enough representation there so
that we will again be recognized, as
we were during the organization meet-!
lng, when among the directors a resi-
uent of iNUem was chosen, as there
was also on the various committees; j
that is, on the Important committees;

Mlom. Oregon, Dec. 16.
New York, Dec. 17. Broader activ
ity. In the open to bring about the
lioinlnritlnn hv the T?pnnhllcan TCatinn-
ai Convention of Major Gen. Leonard
Wood for the presidency is expected
almost immediately, as one of the
results of the selection of Col. William
C. Proctor of Cincinnati as chairman
of the Leonard Wood National Cam
paign committee.
One of the probable early results of
this Increased activity will be, it is
stated on excellent authority, the
lining up with the Wood boomers of
certain erstwhile Proeressives. one of
whom is George W. Perkins, whose
connection with the last two national
campaigns gave him' great distinction
as a campaign asset, although In each
case he was on the losing side.
The friends of Gen. Wood under
stand that he will not resign from the
army, but-will "follow the example of
Gen. Hancock" and remain a soldier
until actually nominated. This means
that he will probably lose the delega
tion from South Dakota bv fail ins- tn !
me tne declaration of principles which
tne state law there appears to require.
However, the Wood managers, an-
parently at the Chicago conference,
reached the decision that this lnss can
be made up later.
It is Understood to be the Intention
of the Wood manegers not to attempt
to get delegates in Illinois, where
Gov. Lwden is practically assured of
a solid delecmtinn- In r-rif..i

making a tight for the delegation
from Ohio, notwithstanding the pos
sibility of Senator Harding being a
candidate for the nomination.
