Portland, Oregon, December 14
"Sneaks and thieves don't ad
vertise, ' ' was the text of an immi
gration sermon recently delivered
by a McMinnville minister. He
followed this up by showing the
value of intelligent publicity
work in attracting settlers to the
Pacific Northwest and the bene
fits alike to the newcomer and
the country settled. Each settler
means added wealth to the state
and in return the Pacific states
offer greater opportunity to the
man from the cider sections of
the country. The Northwest has
a duty to perform, believes this
pastor, in bringing people from
the overcrowded districts of the
East to this land of opportunity
and live cities in the Northwest
are making the most of their ad
vantages in attracting settlers.
The Portland Flouring Mills
will maintain its position as the
chief flour manufacturing con
cern of the Pacific Northwest
and during the past week pur
chased the Hammond Mills and
holdings in Seattle and vicinity
at an approximate cost of
$500,000. The property conists
of the largest flour mills in
Seattle and has a capacity of
2000 barrels a day. T. B. Wilcox,
head of the Portland Flouring
Mills, and associates conducted
the negotiations leading to the
purchase. He said the growth
, of Seattle has made it advantage
ous to have a mill there and the
purchase includes a number of
warehouses in Washington and
the agency of the Hammond con
cerns in San Francisco. The
Portland company now has ,14
mills running night and day in
different parts of the Northwest
and is turning out an enormous.
product.
State dairymen and fruit
growers held their annual con
ventions in Portland during the
past week and-both were well
attended and very successful.
Both these great industries will
receive a decided impetus from
the gatherings of the past week.
Better acquaintance of the men
actively engaged in darying and
horticulture has resulted and the
interchange of ideas is always
valuable. Thursday night a re
ception to the two bodies was
given by the Commercial Club.
A valuable suggestion was made
by President H. C, Atwell of the
fruit growers, who advises an
annual fruit show in Portland at
which all sections of the state
shall be represented. This idea
is being taken up actively by all
interested in the development of
the state along these lines and
the advantages that may be ex
pected to result are very great,
Dr. John McLoughlin and his
work in aiding the early settlers
at Oregon City will not be for
gotten and by a ' decisive vote,
this pioneer city has declared it
will maintain the historic home
of Dr. McLoughlin as a public
monument to his ' work.; This
tribute to Dr. McLoughlin will
meet with the hearty approval of
all right thinking people every'
where.
Spokane will run an excursion
of business men to California
next month, and the party will be
entertained here on January 18.
This will be the first of a number
of excursions to be run from
Washington cities through Port
land to California during the
Winter,
