General News In Portland Letter County Judges And Commissioners To Get Together Rose Fe3tival. Portland, May 3. The Oregon pal ate Is never without a relish for l ;ool warm soaking, growing rain, ut never has It tasted more like a full meal than during the last days it dry, record breaking April. "Raise more hogs and get more vealth by sending the Oregon brand if packing house products to every narket of the world" is a motto that ihould be announce 1 from every school and pulpit, and be emblazoned m the walls of every commercial arganlzatlon in the mate. The Horsa and Cattle sales U Portland ha oiened tho eyes of live stock breeders ii every part of th iJnlted States and Canada to the fuel lhat Oregon Is the be it market fo good things in that Hue In the Unltei (States. Witho it regard to the exact spo .n which 'they may reside, Oregon poo )'e are beginning to realize fully th tremendous bene! 11 of the Annun .loae Festival, which this year boglu,, lune 7, continuing until tho 12th This Feitival emphasize-) to peoploat v distance the extremely favorable .:llmatlc co:nlltl)ns which make pos :lb!e the prodm t on of tho finest oses 'n the world. County Judge J. B. McsHlck of Ha- er co '.in by, upon the re iuest of sever il county courts of the state, has Is med a call for a state meeting of the County Courts and County Commls lioners, at whli:h It Is expected to jerfect a state organization similar to .hose exlstant In other states. Judge .lonel R. Webster, of Multnomah county, will act as chairman of the' iteceptlon committee, with power to lame his associates. The gathering will convene at ten o'clock Tuesday morning, June 7, and continue through the day. An arrangement as been made for the county courts ind Judges to secure a point of vant age to witness the Rose Festival pa rade Monday night and also the one Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday morning the convention will close Us session, ievotlng the afternoon to the fes tlvltles. Cojnty Commissioners, Sheriffs and Engineers have derlvel great bene it from their organizations through out the entire United States, and It is certainly meet that the county courts and county commissioners, who practically handle the public af Tairs of each county, should get to ?ether for the benefit of each other's experience.
