Sydney B. Vincent Is the author, and here are excerpts from the article, which has r been sent to the press of the state for publication by the state chamber: "Leading'ln many things, proud of her tecord of the past, and looking forward to 'the future with the hope ' of great achievement, Oregon citi zens have organized the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, the coordi nated creation of many minds who have studied state development. In Oregon and elsewhere, to determine Jost how best to bring about the maximum of results in state develop ment with the minimum ot expense, distributing the work Incident to the organization as equally as possible, and yet Insuring the proper meshing of all parts of the chamber machin ery. ."Without doubt, the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce Is the most perfect example of state unity and cooperation existent in this country today. "Meetings were held In two Wil lamette valley cities, Albany and Salem. The business men of those communities got together. There was no understanding between the interests of the two sections. The same Idea apparently occurred In two distant places at about the same time, but It was an idea that grew, Then came the old, old story. "Who Is going to form this association? We can't do It. We haven't the ma chinery, and we haven't the time. Why not let Portland do it? Oh no, Portland win want to run the whole thing1, and the valley folk and the Eastern Oregon folk, and the Central Oregon folk and the Southern Ore gon folk, would be hanging on to the tail of Portland's kite. Not much. Nothing doing. We will form our own organization.' "But a broader view prevailed, and the Portland Chamber of Commerce, experienced In organization, laughed at themselves for not think ing of It before. How easy! Just give the 'outside counties' control of the delegates. Nothing to It. That was the idea, and In a few days It had been perfected, and today is operating successfully, and Portland has been relieved 'of the stigma of wanting to 'run things. an undesir able odium attached to her by some small communities, because Port land does things and usually does n,nn than her share In matters ot state-wide importance. Th work of the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce is unbounded unlimited in its possibilities. I'nity of action, determination and unsel fishness can bring to Oregon an everlasting prosperity .which .will make her stand forth as the queen state of the nation." The above reads fine and if car rled out to the letter means much to the whole state. And there is no reason why It should not be carried out to the letter but, here is an other paragraph, possibly written hurriedly that proves, the Portland bunch a short-sighted group, unable to see beyond the horizon of the Co lumbia and the Willamette. Read if- "Oregon stands well towards the top in many things. Her vast un developed horsepower some day, per haps will, be turning the wheels of Industry, and her sreat rivers, the Columbia and the Willamette will be humming with the whir of com merce." So the great rivers, the Columbia and the Willamette, will be "bum mins with the whir of Industry." You will notice that not one word is said of the Umpqua, the Rogue, or the Deschutes rivers, all great streams and capable of developing thousands of horsepower. Are the mountains so high and the fog so dense that the Portland bunch cannot see the greater portion of the state? As for rich natural re sources and chances for Investment, Southern, Central and Eastern Ore gon have the Portland district skin ned a. city block. Is it to be the same old gag? Due to an overnight yesterday,, no type tor the editorial column of the Courier was' produced. The fore- man, desirous of using something to (111 the column along the same lines the editor had been writing about, selected a choice article on fertilizer." . . 'garden OroRon workers should favor Oregon products -for by so doing thpy place some of thulr own pay wheroMt goes directly to support other Oregon work ers on other Oregon payrolls. By helping each other they will bo helping themselves the finest kind ot loyal co operation. I'SE HOME PROni'CTS Home ImluNtry Ikw of Ore.

One hundred and four years ago, at this season, the war of lgl? was prac tically over.

On December 28. one of the American sec retaries left Ghent for London and on January 2,. 1815, he left England for New York, where he arrived some time In February, and his new was Im mediately delivered to the citizens by printed handbills.

Willingly the Portland chamber consented. George Quayle, who had had the manage ment of the Development Bureau of the chamber, went to work. "First," he argued, 'we must dis pel the Idea of some sections of the state that Portland seems to want to run things. We want the tip-state districts and the down-state districts and every' district In Oregon ' to rea lize that Portland Is .100 per cent unselfish In this matter.
