Patriotic Lecture.
D. J. Haynes, lecturer for the
G. A. R., spoke to an enthusiastic
crowd last evening at Roberts' hall.
The subject of his lecture was "Pa
triotism'' and in his discourse he
showed that patriotism and love of
country could only be sustained In
the raising of the standard of citii
zenship. Mr. Haynea said "that
the 'Almighty dollar' was upper
most in nearly every American's
mind and not so much as tb&t of
producing a good healthy body and
mind."
The lecture was very interesting
from start to finish and the stories
of the war of the Rebellion were
pleasing.
Mr. Haynes ppoke to the school
children at the school house in the
afternoon.
He left for his home in Portland
on this morning's train.
The Oregon National Guard is very
active in its efforts to obtain a suitable
and permanent rifle range near Portland.
Besides beirg immediately available io
for tbe nse of six companies, including
those stationed at Vancouver, Washing
ton, the range would attract ar y United
States cruisers and other naval vessels
to this port, since this practice is re
quired of the navy as well. The matter
ha been taken np with the United
States War Department an . strongest
possible endorsement has gone forward
from the Portland Commercial Club and
other organizations of Portland,
In celebrating the pening of the new
electric interurban line between Port
land and Salem on February 18th, the
latter city entertained numerous delega
tions from the various cities of the Wil
lamette Valley. Over a hundred busi
ness men went frem Portland in two
special cars. Great enthusiasm was
aroused by the speeches of both visitors
and S ileal men, and all united in em
phasizing the necessity for wide-awake
aggressive advertising to develop boih
citv and country. Salem contemplates
an immediate campaign as a result.
A branch of the work of the Portland
Commercial Club which many people
know nothing about is the maintenance
of an Ore on It formation Bureau in
Los Angeles, whioh has been wonder
fully successful in its efforts to so inter
est Californian tourists that they may
return to their Eastern homes by way
of Oregon. Oregon literature is distri
buted from several of the most ceutrally
located ollicts in Los Angeles, and it i
eaaerly taken. The colonist rates, and
particu'ady the $30 fare from the great
middle West to all stations in the "Bea
ver State" is emphasized in every pub
lication given out. Kastern lectures are
also employed to a limited extent, and
Mr. Robert J. Weyh, Jr., of X -w York
Ci'y, has just reported a most success
ful series, with aud'ences frequently
numbering in excess of one thousand
adults "They take in every word
about Oregon," tie writes, "and then
tire questions at me."
