Tho Development Congress
meeting has dono considerable
toward awakening interest in tho
movement toward railroad buil
ding and other necessaries look
ing to the upbuilding of South
eastern Central Oregon. Stato
owned railroads are not such a
"bug-a-boo" as somo would have
us think since it has been put up
to us in tho proper manner.
These outside men who make
pilgrimages to attend such meet
ings aro not all working for a
selfish purpose. They really
want this portion of the stato
and Coos Bay to como into their
own. They realize that the idlo
resources of theses sections must
be brought into usethcy are
needed to advance tho state of
Oregon.
Reilly Aitkinson gave some
good advice to the people of
Burns in his talk in response to
the address of welcome by Hon.
Frank Davey. Mr. Aitkinson
hit tho point when he suggested
planting more trees, lawns, gar
dens, flowers etc and otherwise
beautify our little city. Ho has
seen what such work will do for
a place from his experiences in
Boise. We ore going to have one
of the finest towns in interior
Oregon and the quicker our cit
izens realize it and get busy the
better.
TUB CONQRESS.
Owing to the non-arrival of
President Hofer tho Oregon-
Idaho Development Congress did.
not open its sessions on Thurs
day morning as advertised. The
first gathering was presided over
by Geo. H. Shullenbergar of
Boise on Thursday evening and
the meeting was well attended
by a large audience. Mr. Shull
enbergar took occasion to com
pliment this section in his open
ing remarks and briefly outlined
the purpose of the congress. He
impressed upon local citizens the
importance of such work and
urged their co-operation. Ho
was followed by Hon. Frank
Davey who welcomed the outside
delegates to our little city in a
most able and pleasing manner.
Reilly Aitkinson, secretary of
tho "Boise Commercial Club res
ponded with "Thank you" and
then a good talk on what was
good for us. His remarks were
well received.
"Old Man" Bennett was an
other speeker of the evening and
pointed out some very important
features of this section and Coos
Bay. Mr. Bennett interspersed
his address with some good
stories and had his audience in
the best of humor throughout
He said he had just returned
from a 1154 mile drive over this
county but didn't get much ac
quainted with it, but expected
to. His description of riding a
horse called "Sour Dough" over
at the P-Ranch was quite vivid.
The Misses Agnes Cawlfield
and Lou Davey each recited with
good effect Among tho musical
numbers was a solo by Mrs. Wm.
Farre which was most charming
ly rendered. A chorus of mixed
voices and the male quartet also
rendered music for the evening.
The arrival of Colonel Hofer,
president of the congress, yes
terday injected new life in the
meeting and although most of
the people werts at the race track
at the beginning of the afternoon
program Col Hofer gave those
present a rousing speech and
showed what the development
congress was really accomplish
ing. He was followed by Will H.
Gibson, Ex-Secretary of state of
Idaho, whose subject was Irriga
tion by pumping. Mr. Gibson is
a very pleasing speaker and gave
his hearers some good ideas to
study about Mr. Gibson em
phasized tho necessity of organi
zation and unity of purpose in a
community to accomplish results
and advocated the banishment of
tho knocker.
William Grimes one of the sub
stantial and consistent boosters
of Coos Bay, gave a practical
talk. His people have organized
a holding company and started
the survey of a railroad which is
intended to be a link in the Boise
Cocs Bay line. This organization
is qn a solid basis and interest
bearing bonds are issued and tak
en up by public spirited citizens
of the community, The survey
is now being made and all rights-of-way
etc. are being looked after
Jifanrlr.h TirJnMwlrt tflfccaJL
lH,6ds. Mr. Grimes is one of
th members of the Stato High
ways Commission recently ap
pointed by the govornor and is
one of tho practical mon of the
stato. Ho is not an orator but
has tho ability to grasp a situa
tion readily and to oxprcss his
vlows forcofullyand with convic
tion.
Tho evening session was greet
ed with a packed houso nnd with
Col. Hofer to prcsido in his usual
happy manner it was an enthusi
astic mcotinr. Tho Colonel too'i
exceptions to tho remarks of
Addison Bennett of tho previous
evening, ho having been told Hint
tho "Old Man" had given itnwny
that ho (Hofer) was n married
man. Col. Hofer was "roasting"
tho "Old Man" when tho latter
arose in tho audienco and inter
rupted him with tho announce
ment that tho ladies of tho audi
enco wished tho Colonel to pray
for rain. That was too much
for Hofer who at onco beckoned
tho mnlo quartet to como on nnd
sing to reliovo the situation. Col.
Hofer had suggested in his Salem
Capital Journal ono day last week
that tho pcoplo of his neighbor
hood pray for rain. This was
dono nnd they wero visited by a
fine down pour immediately fol
owing. Geo. H. Shullenbnr of Boise
gave a brief outline of tho Idaho
law for state and district owned
railroads which was closely fol
lowed. Ho mado each essential
section of tho law quite plain nnd
before taking his seat ho extend
ed an invitation to the congress
to meet in Boise during the Stato
Intcr-Mountoin Fair Oct 11 to 1G
Ho is ono of the directors and
Will H. Gibson is secretary of
tho Association nnd Mr. Shulcn
bergnr assured all a warm wel
come and tho freedom of tho fair
grounds. Tho matter will re
ceived serious consideration and
it is quite likely a meeting will
be arranged for that date.
Miss Lea Robinson recitcd'The
Chariott Race" most effectively
and was recalled with enthusiasm
when she responded with "A
Woman's Rights."
Col. C. E. S. Wood was then
introduced by the president nnd
with little preliminaries entered
upon his subject of stato owned
railroads. Tho Times-Herald
would like to give this speech ex
tended notice, but does not feel
equal to tho occasion. He made
one of tho finest addresses ever
listened to in this section nnd
was very explicit, going into de
tail covering the proposed amend
ment to tho constitution which
will enable tho people of Oregon
to help themselves in tho matter
of transportation lines and dis
proving tho fallacy that it would
bankrupt tho state or that such a
move would finally bo taken over
by big corporations. As soon as it
can bo had The Times-Herald will
give this speech in full. It was a
most convincing argument and
every objection that has been ad
vanced against such a policy was
logically met and over come.
xnis morning a short session
was held to close up tho business
of the meeting and listen to the
report of the committee on re
solutions. Unon invitation of Wm. Grimes
the next meeting will be held at
Coos Bay on Aug. 20 and 21 at
which time tho election of offi
cers will take place.
Will H. Gibson moved that an
executive committee of three bo
nppointek, one from the Coos
Bay section, ono from Harney
county and the third from Idaho
to be the head of tho railroad
work to which local committees
of the various organizations who
have chargo of district surveys,
rights-of-way, etc should report.
The president will announce this
may become ono of the world's
great dcop sea harbors,
Bo It Further Resolved that a
direct railroad route to the Pacific
Son Board would bo most advan
tageous to tho people of Central
Oregon nnd Southern Idaho; that
owing to tho fact that Cooa Bay
harbor is nearor to this torritory
than any other harbor on tho
Western Const; that Its harbor is
land locked, ndeqanto in size,
and sufficient to nccommodato
largo vessels and is underlaid by
vast deposits of coal, and sur
rounded by forests of Inoxhnusti
bio wealth, together with its com
mercially strngotie position to
command tljo commerce of "tho
orient make it advantageous to
tho pcoplo of Central Oregon and
Idaho that tho westorn terminus
of tho proposed railroad bo on
Coos Bay. and wo recommend
that our Representatives and
Sonntors in Congross whenovor a
survey of tho Coos Bay, Central
Oregon nnd Boiso railroad is
completed, bo requested to secure
such dopnrtmflntnl action as may
bo necessary to obtain tho right
of way to said railroad across all
public lands.
Tho Oregon-Idaho Development
tropolU of Central Orerai.
We endorse the splendid spirit
and disposition to help themselves
manueflteu uy the people of Coos
Hay in undertaking a survey to
nnu a ieastuio routo over tho
coast range, and wo earnestly
urgo tho communities on tho pro
posed routo to tako immediate
action to socuro pormnnont sur
voys by districts across tho states
sought to bo dovolopcd. Tho
ti'mo has como for tho cities of
Contrnl Oregon and Southern
Idaho to Bupplomont agitation by
working to socuro actual location
and right of way nnd join with
tho pcoplo of Coos Bay in tho
expenso nccessnny for tho com
pletion of such preliminary work,
either by joint action across the
two Btatea or by districts.
This Congress wishes to espec
ially commond to tho pcoplo of
tho two suites tho Bpionuiu sup-
Cort given to their fight to socuro

The St&& is ono of the latest and boat additions to the famous
Doore Line of Riding Plows. Is light in weight, simple
and durable in construction full of genuine merit,' and has
shown its mettle and utility in every test it has been put to.
It has amply demonstrated by its cood work its right to be
classed as a strictly up-to-dato, high-class farm tool. It ia
certain to suit the most critical farmer and be a money
maker and a labor-saver for htm.
"If It's a Deere-If s Right"
and does its work perfect ease to the operator and team.
It is manufactured and sold as a tongueless plow n tonguo
not being neceraary to best results, but one is supplied at
slight cost to those who perfer it that way. The St&U is tho
simplest riding plow bnllt,-anyone who can hook up a team
and drivo 'em straight can. operate jt successfully. It pos
sesses mtny superior features, not found on other plows,
and it takes n whole book to illustrate and dlscrlbe them,
Better write for it today and all the information' you want
about this superior implement.
