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.
Oregonlt.ns don't wish anybody
hard luck, but they never get uf
ificlently sympathetic, when the fruit
crop fails In tin older states, to
"mark down" the price at which we
"hold up'' the balance of the world
for its best apple.
