in the air. You can't boost Oregon by
patronizing flour mills in other states.
They pay no wages or taxes in this com

Meet Jas. J. Sayer in Infor
mal Gathering Tues
day Evening.
The meeting wan a few days late, but
it was a good one just the same. An
nouncement had been made that Jams
J. Haver, secretary of the Oregon Devel-
Mrs. A. F. Yonnu, E. Bergstrom, Sara'l
Esteb, Willie Bergatrom, Cody Ber
nette, Floyd Fraser, Carl Bergstrom,
Arthur Wilkins and Glenn Ball. The
four fi -st na med were initiated in the
regular, ritualistic way, by the initiating
team, which is a competent one anu one
cf the good features of our Local.
After the business meeting and a
short recess a creditable program was
rendered. Frank Barlow, our nr esidpnt
ana Moee Ashbaugh, from the Eight
oprnent League, of Portland, would be Mile Local each delivered an interesting
talk on tlie benefits of the Farmers
Union et;. The last number of the
program was a cracker eating contest in
which fonr or five of our heartiest eaters
participated and which was very amus
ing to behold, Chas. Barlow coming out
bead first end Newt King a close sec
ond. A cake and a pie were given as
prizes.
After the program, sunner was next
in order, and such a gorgeous and coDi-
otis supper wni never before spread in
ttooseherry. l wo tables 30 feet long,
frirly grosned under the weight of the
well prepared viands to which each and
all did ample justice.
A box of oranges was next distributed
among those present, after which they
departed for their respective hon.es.
We sincorely hope hope this good work
may continue and that we may enjoy
many other similor meetings.

with the boosters at their regular meet
ing last Friday evening, but Mr. Sayer
did not tiet connected up 'unt right to
reach Heppner at that date, and his ar
rival on Tuesday evening was not her
aided until he was on the ground, and
this tertians accounted for the tact ot a
smaller attendance than there should
havo been.
The Palace hotel management had
the diciiir room in shape and seated
with sufficient chairs, and the room was
quite well filled. President Woodson
called the mooting to order, and in a
few remarks introduced Mr. Sayer, who
addressed the boosters for a short time,
explaining the. objects of his trip over
Eastern and Central Oregon ; also giving
an outline of the worfc being done to ad
vertise the State of Oregon bv the exec
ntive committee of toe Portland Com
mercial Club, and showing how this
oreanizati ti is lining up with all the
Uical clubs and leagues to promote the
interests of every locality in the state
The Portland commercial organizations
realize that it is necessary to get people
"back to the farm" in order to properly
build nt) their own interests, hence the
idea of eliminating the boosting of the
city, except to bring within its borders
manufacturing and kindred industries;
knowing well that the city will naturally
grow and prosper to tbe extent tnat trie
rural population is built up and its in
terests made to prosper. For this work
in advertising the farming and agricul
tural industries of this state and South
weste'n Washington, which is directly
tributary to Portland, the Por.land
Commercial Clib has spent $93,000 the
oast vear. and is now raising a fund of
$.'00,000. all contributed by business
men of the city, to continue this work
for the next two years. All of this to
piomot? the state outside of Portland,
and the advertising is bringing results
that at the present time are flattering.
Mr. Saver presented abundant proof of
the results derived from persistent and
faithful advertising, and encouraged the
Morrow County boostets to eontinnethe
good work now begun. The work of
the Portland Commercial Club iB felt all
over Oregon, and they are fully demon
strating the fact that they are on the
right track.
Mr. Payer is gathering up statistics
along different lines of development
work, will ascertain as lar as possiDie
what sections are getting the benefit of
the present colonist movement, and what
ner cent are actually locating in tne
state, and is nUo reiuvinating and re
organizing defunct and dilapidated
boost clubs, development leagues and
commercial organizations in the terrr
tory through which he is passing
While not an orator, Mr. Sayer is a
Dleasant. matler-of-fact speaker, and a
good personal worker among the busi
ness men of a community and will be
the means of arousing interest in the
development work of the state.
Following the tBlfc of Mr. f'ayer eorne
discussion was had relative to the
proper steps to be taken on the reduc
tion of the tariff on wocl and mutton,
now before the special session of con
gress. A letter trom l)r. aicuiure was
read, nrgiug concerted action on the
part of the woolerowers, and a commit
tee coxistmf of T. J. Mahoney. Ueo. J.
Currin, C. A. minor, and C. E. Wood-
sin was appointeP to draft a letter, to
be sent to each sheepman, giving an
idea as to what ought to be written to
our congressmen, and calling up on me
sheepmen to write at once, putting
themselves on record as being opposed
to any change in the present tariff rates
and asking our representatives at Wash
ington to stand against a change being
mde.
No further business was transacted at
this meeting.
