At La Grande a newly built revival tabernacle was t ir.ied ovi-r to the business men and a great meeting re sulted. Almost every town and com munity in Umatilla county was repre sented at the Pendleton meeting and there Is a determination to make a great canvass of that section and to take advantage of the state law pro vldlng for a special tax for advertis ing the county. At a meeting at Th Dalles, every seat in the hall was oc cupied and standing room was at a premium. Many prominent men wcr out who had never before attended a meeting of this character. These meetings show that Eastern Oregon Is earnestly at work to get all the benefits of Intelligent publicity and the value of this organized ef fort will appear as time passes.
