T'nclor the provisiouH of the bill the
rxpi'iidilnrp of the monoy will be ill
root oil by a board of five oonsistinjs
of the throe members of the Htate
board of control and two to be named

Mipirvimon of the disbursement of
the funds allowed.
The state chamber of rommerce Is
an organization fostered by the vari
ous chamber! of commerce through
out the state end has boon financed
chiefly by membership dues and con
tributions at large. I. K. Vining is
president and A. S. Dudley is man
ager. Itecently Mr. Vining visited
the east where be came into contact
. with hundreds of manufacturers and
potential investors in the northwest.
Ilis work was favorable and broadly
, commented upon and bus been viewed
as exceedingly constructive.
Last year Mr. Dudley succeeded by
perHonal solicitation in tuducing the
northwestern railroads to join in an
extensive advertising campaign for
Oregon. IL is with a view of carry
ing on this work of tlio chamber along
this and other productive lines that
a move has started to provide the
etato organization with sufficient
menus to function.
Those interested in the measure
express themselves as convinced that
the state chamber is an institution
of great worth to the state at large
and one which .should enjoy state
wide support.
