Stark was in Portland this veek. i The preparation for a great state promotion convention to be held at Portland in August is attracting at tention and is causing speculation. Portland has awakened to the fact that Oregon is ready to go ahead. "Barkis is willin'." But how let the rest of the world know it? Must we court the bride to win her? The misfortune has attended us in Oregon of imagining that our boundless, imperial resources woBld eves' of the world. We haye not com ted success. But the fatal gut of imagined confidence in the draw ing power of our own resources has been the greatest obstacle to devel opment. While we have waited. hoped and dreamed the eyes of the world have been lured elsewhere, nri t.bn Rwarmine streams ot hu manity have passed us by as n undeserving white chip. Now we are going 'to arouse, get a move on, get up and dust, paw the earth and let them know that we are coming down the pike at an autopace. We shall quit the dream ing, waiting and hoping that acci dental greatness will overtake us in spite of ourselves while we are sucking our thumbs Too many of our enterprising as pirations for development of our country have, when rounded up, consisted of a deBire for govern ment appropriation.

Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Alexander fro John Alexander and Mrs. A. unday. purning at Newport. 1 m ing something done for us out of the public treasury, what have we ever done for ourselves? If our whole promotion work this time don't stop right there, we shall have advanced a step. Until we shall be able to do something for ourselves without drawing on the public treasury for inspiration, we shall not even make good use of our treasury grafts. Who praises our St. Louis exhib it but thosa. on a salary there or some one connected with them? We are lone on graft; we recognize and reward only our brazenest self seekers; we put people on guard who cannot hold a gun, and then we kick because the world docs not consider us a great and wonderful community. We put our Log Cabin, crazy- quilt exhibit at the St. Louis World's Fair in charge of Old Man Williams, a sainted, white- whiskered populist, of hold-up re nown, from Jackson county. Ine biggest politicians . in, the state recommended him. When visitors come in and stare at the skins tacked on the walls, he opens his dreary eyes, takes his pipe out of his mouth long enough te say: "Have a chair, ladies, and eoea to sleep again.
