44&&&t4GQQte
(By Dr. C. H. Dunsmore)
Now thnt the great exposition has
closed, visitors, participants and rep
resentatives returned to their various
places, the thought naturally arises,
"Was it all worth while f" Have
She results justified all the expense
and trouble f Speaking for the stnte
of Oregon, and from close observa
1ion of more than ten months I have
no hesitation in saying that possibly
no state, not excepting even Califor
nia, will protlt to larger extent. The
Oiegon building, with its own unique
individuality, the great variety and
diversity of the Oregon exhibits, not
only in our own building, but also in 1
six of the palaces, were a continual
revelation, to many of the hundreds of
thousands of visitors. The fact that
Oregon produced anything but stock
and timber, seemed to be news to
many, especially those from the ex
treme south and east. And of tTie
various districts represented, viz:
Eastern Oregon. Southern Oregon,
Coos and Curry counties, Klamath
county and Willamette valley, none
aroused more interest or greater ad
miration than our own wonderful val
lev. '
As the representative for Polk
county, of course it was my duty, and
always a pleasure, to tell of our var
ied products, the opportunities and
possibilities offered the investor in
farm lands and the many advantages
attending life in our favored county.
As day after day, for nearly ten
months, the countless thousands pass
ed through our building, there were
continual inquiries concerning our
valley in general, and Folk county in
particular. If there is any value in
advertising, (and none will deny that
there is) then surely Polk will re
ceive large returns for its money ex
pended. Of course, it is too soon to
expect mnch in the way of practical
returns, but the fact that many in
quiries are being made of commercial
club and real estate dealers by po
tential prospective settlers is very
significant. Only this morning, the
president of the local Commercial
club has shown me a communication
stating that the writer had talkVd
with this county's representative at
the exposition, and wishes to learn
further concerning certain possibili
ties. And I have been told, that such
inquiries have been coming in increas
ing nnmberi all through the latter
summer months. The advantages and
possibilities of our county have been
told to many thousands of people dur
ing the past summer, people from all
points of the compass and with our
splendid Willamette valley exhibit as
an object lesson, we never had any
difficulty in impressing our visitors,
or arousing their interest. But it is
only in the months to come, that the
real vital benefit our county has re
ceived, will be clearly shown, as the
results of the exposition are made
manifest.
I might just state concerning the
markets oened up for certain of our
products, for instance prunes and lo
ganberry juice. Previous to the open
ing of the exposition, we were told
that Oregon fruits, especially apples
and prunes were not found on the
'Frisco markets. And as for logan
berry juice, or the evaporated berry,
it was practically unknown. As a re
sult of our effort, more than forty
dealers in the city of San Francisco,
carry Oregon apples and prunes, evap
orated loganberries and the juice, and
orders and letters of inquiry have
been received from nearly every state
in the union. The opening of a mar
ket for these products alone, will he
of incalculable benefit to the valley
and Polk county, in particular.
Concerning the booklet sent me for
distribution. I will say that all were
judiciously distributed, save about lot)
copies which were reserved to be sent
with the permanent exhibit which
will be installed in the Chamber of
Commerce in Portland, for distribu
tion there.
Our relations with the state com
mission and the other representatives
in the Oregon building, comprising the
"Oregon Family," were always con
genial and pleasant, and all seemed to
have but one general object' and pur
pose, the interests of Oregon in gen
eral, and their own district in par
ticular. It was always a matter of
rrest pleasuie and satisfaction to
meet and greet people from Polk
county, and so far as possible, to help
make their visit pleasant and success
ful. Many old acquaintances were
thus greeted, and many new ones
made, and it will he a continuous
pleasure to renew such associations,
as we may meet in the months to
come.
As regards my relations with the
state commission, might say I have
insf received A letter sioned: hv the
secretary-manager for the state- com-
iKsiun, expressing meir pleasure au(i
satisfaction of my efforts during the
entire ten months of my work in the
Oregon building, and of my no-operation:
and hearty support of everything
that' made for the well-being of our
state.
With hearty appreciation of the
privilege i nave naa lor tne past ten
months, and with' gratefulness for the
opportunity, I am, very cordially
yoors, It Chas. Dunsmore.

has materially increased in late years
since road conditions mane year round
travel a possibility. The city being
the center of trade it must co-operate
with the rural communities in the
tilings which will go toward the up
building of both, for without the one
the other is worse than useless. The
merchants and commercial interests
in Dallas are doing everything pos
sible to supply local demand with lo
cal products and products of the coun
ty. This coming together on a busi
ness footing of the people of Dallas
and the people of the rural districts
is certain to mean the upbuilding of
he city. As the territory round
about richens, just so will the city
lichen.
Conservative progression is to be
desired in the conduct of municipal
affairs in Dallas. The country gen
erally is not apt to notice any boom
conditions within the next year, but
happily Dallas is more or less outside
the effect of this feeling. We are not
going ahead by leaps and bounds in
1916 simply because we will not be
able to do so. But we will continue
the upbuilding of the community with
all the steady vigor that conditions
will allow. Our city finances are
rounding into shape, and we will start
bright and early in the new year with
the execution of plans for street im
provement and general civic better
ment. When the tide turn and pros
perity again sweeps the land Dallas
will stand pre-eminent above other
towns of the country having a like
population, and will be better prepar
ed to handle the rush of settlers to
our country and the increase of popu
lation in our city. For such prosper
ity is coming to the Willamette valley
as the most optimistic has never
dreamed.
