I v J El -V ltd Ll VoL III REEUL1R PORTLAND LETTER Portland, Or., April 18-To carry the message of progress and to encourage the commercial bodies of the state to greater ef forts along publicity lines, Field Secretary Sayer, of the Oregon Development League, has left the Portland headquarters for an extended trip through Eastern Oregon. He will cover 2100 miles on his journey and will call upon many commercial bodies that have never received an official visit from the League. Mr. Say er will advise with dormant com mercial clubs and help revive them and will establish new ones w here they are needed. The country to be traversed, Eastern and Central Oregon, is developing fast, due to the new railroads now being built, and it is considered important that the new cities get a start along the right lines in publicity work. Intelligent methods will do much to win settlers for this region of great future possibilities. Umatilla County cities will work together for .the common good to better advantage because of the enthusiastic rally held at Pendleton during the' past week, when C. C. Chapman, Secretary of the Oregon development League, made an address and urged them to stand together. Ihe sa'uiebentimeiii' Wis brot,glU out by other speakers and an era of better feeling among Uma tilla communtities may be said to have begun. It is a great county, raising 5,000,000 bushels of wheat, or one per cent of the crop of the United States, which it more than any other, county grows. Fruit, too, is an. im portant asset and now that the different towns are co-operating, with Pendleton building up the' good will of the whole district, irrespective of distance from the county seat, ' it will be worth while to keep an eye on Umatilla for you will see her grpw. The biggest month in coloni zation movements Oregon has ever had has just closed, bring ing thousands of new citizens to the state. Favorable rates at tracted people from all parts of the country who are valuable ad ditions to the population. Every part of the state has profited by the heavy gain in new people. It is up to the older residents to make the newcomers - feel at home for if they like this state they will induce their friends back home to come out also. Madras wants a land office to handle the business that now goes to The Dalles or Lake view from the vicinity of that town. With the settlement of Central Oregon and the many newcomers filing on land, there is business enough around Madras for such an institution and Senator Cham berlain has been asked to estab lish one there. Salem Elks came to the aid of the Portland lodge during the past week by giving a minstrel snow and the proceeds will be sent here to help entertain the Grand Lodge in 1912. Over $500 as secured for this purpose.
