A. C. Callan of- the Portland
delegation spoke next. He was
enthusiastic over this big coun

for the Portland people to be
, present and participate". He
stated that Portland wanted to
help develop this great and glor
ious Valley and hoped the next
delegation to visit us would be

A. 0. Hunter of Bend made an
excellent talk on oc-operation.
Mr. Hunter is one of the most
energetic and practical boosters
in the interior and his advice
along these lines is always sound.
He emphasized the importance
of the entire interior working in
harinon, standing together with
the raihoads, the government
and every interest ha ing for its
purpose the upbuilding of Cen
tral Oregon. Mr. Hunter l re
posed a resolution to be adopted
by the League to call an irriga
tion convention hawng for its
purposo placing the Carj Act
companies on a business basis in
order to be a real benefit to the
state. As they are now it is a
farce and a detriment.
Miss Louel Smith sang a solo
and responded to a hearty en
core. Judge Worden of Klamath sug
, gested that all the counties com
, posing the Central Oregon De
Jvelopment League go together
and get out n general booklet of

who were not afraid to work.
Phil Bates was on the program
for a good roads talk but the ma

Rinehart's talk" as Bates put it,
he was unable to give his illus
trated lecture. It will be given
this evening at the Ugo theater
between C and 7 o'clock.
MORNING SESSION
The particular feature of this
morning's session was the pledg
ing of sufficient support to assure
the establishment of experiment
stations in Central Oregon at
once.
W. E. Coman, Gen. Pass. Agt.
of the Oregon Trunk, was sub
stituted for Mr. Gray on the pro
gram pieaged ms railroad to
i2500 for this purpose. R. B.
Miller of the Harriman system
pledged a like sum. The con
ditions arc that $10,000 be raised
t j carry on this work until the
meeting of the Oregon legislature
to provide peimanent support.
The stations are to be under the
charge of the agricultural college
and the railroad systems will pro
vide $5,000, Cential Oregon $3,
000 and Portland $2,000. This
has been assured and is one of
the great things accomplished by
the Central Oregon Development
League.

Marshall N. Dana. Oregon
Journal, Portland.
This is Get-Together-Day in
Oregon. The red blood of Kla
math, Lakeview, of Portland has
come to meet the red blood of
Bunns, of Harney county, and;
joining forces, has formulated
the most practical development
plan ever known to Oregon.
The day has produced pledges
of the people, of the Hill and
Harriman railroad systems, to
raise money enough for establish
ing two Central Oregon experi
ment stations and to maintain
them until the state recognizes
its obligation to perform this tre
mendous service by a sufficient
legislative appropriation to meet
the demand for soil education for
all time.
Harmony notes have been
ringing out like joy bells. A
knell has sounded for petty
sectional jealousies. The spirit
underlying all expressions is that
no person or community has any
right to criticise any other per
son "or community unless the sin
cere intention is to make it bet
ter for all.
What do we of Portland think
of Burns?
We think it the potential city
of a great agricultural communi
ty to be. The hospitality, the
energy, the hope of Harney's
people are amazing and delight
fulthe foundation of a magni
ficent future.
i We are glad that storm and
distance did not turn us back on
the long road. There will al
ways hereafter be the sense of
warm, personal acquaintance,
i relationship and interest.
I This is a prediction The auto
mobile train that brought the
1 transportation and commercial
interests of the outside world
will unfailingly soon be followed
In the steel highway, the rail-
! road.
The world with its tremendous
i interests is reaching out toward
Harney because of what Harney
has done. Lot the people of
Burns continue to get ready for
the new era. The long wait is
nearly over.
Seeing is believing, and, see
ing, faith in interior Oregon is
redoubled. The expression of
that faith will be investmentand
