and in such communities as have
no organization of this kind mea­
sures will be taken to organize at
once.
Most encouraging progress has
been made in this direction al­
ready. Memberships have been
taken in the league by the follow­
ing commercial bodies and the
price of admission paid: Cham­
ber of Commerce of Astoria, Ir*
rigon Commercial Club, Marsh­
field Chamber of Commerce,
Hood River Commercial Club,
Hillsbore Board of Trade, Oreg­
on City Board of Trade and the
Portland Commercial Club. A
meeting of the executive board
of the Oregon Development
League has already been held,
and at this meeting it was decided
that each vice-president become
an organizer of branches, the
territory to be allotted and work
commenced at once.
The
executive board consists of the
president and the five vice-presi­
dents.
When once the country is
thoroughly organized the process
of advertising will begin in earn­
est . One of the strong points in
this campaign of advertising will
be the personal effort part. Each
branch will make a specialty of in­
ducing Oregon’s new citizens to
write letters to their friends and
acquaintances in the East, telling
them about Oregon, and thus in­
crease immigration.
Manager
Tom Richardson of the Portland
Commercial Club,
who
is
thoroughly familiar with the effi­
ciency of this method of advertis­
ing, says that the amount accom­
plished within a short time if it is
systematically conducted will be
as surprising as it is simple.
