Thursday, November -1st, will be known in Oregon as llooe Industries day by pro-tarnation of Governor Wet and Mayor Riiahlight and other mayors of titles and commercial bod ies. On thai day the first conven tion t,f manufacturers from all over the state will be held In this city, tout hiding in the evening with a grand banquet given the guests of the city by the Manufacturers' asso ciation of this city. That organiza tion will expend a thousand dolla's entertaining their guests from all over Oregon In royal style. The loial committee consists of T. J. Mann of the Pacific Stoneware company, Arthur II. Oevers of Cios set & Devers, O. K. Helntz of the Pa cific Iron Works, A. M. Haradon of Haradon and Son, W. F. Scott of the Davis-Scott Belting Co.. with Col. I). M. Dunne, chairman of the executive ronimlttee master of ceremonies tt the banquet hall, ensuring a grand entertainment. One thousand Invitations have been sent out to the manufacturers all over the state, and with a thous and more factories at Portland, great and small, here Is material for a rousing big meet of the men who employ thirty thousand operatives and produce an annual product of two hundred millions of dollars. The program will Include an ad dress by Governor West on the Im portance of tho home Industries, and a response by Mayor Rushlight who himself Is a manufacturer according to the terms of the United States cen sus which Includes plumbing estab lishments as factories. There, will be addresses by big men on trans portation, power, labor and subsidy problems.

The manufacturers' association have secured the assistance of Col. K. Hofer, president of tho State Press association In the handling of their publicity work. A committee has boon appointed to raise a $2.", nni) publicity fund to advertise the products of the Oregon factories, and with an organization to be known as the Woman's Home Industries league reach every homo for extension of the consumption of made in Oregon products. There was never a greater move ment for the upbuilding of the state than this one for the extension of thj industries. The energies of ttie state have gone largely into boosting land values and farm and orchard products, and the time has come for a concerted movement to place the factory along side of the farm and fruit tract. The manufacturers' as sociation proposes to work ha'nd In hand with the state development league, the chamber of commerce and all the live organizations In Ore gon. The work Is to be carried on broad lines for the development of every Industrial center In Oregon and to plant Industries wherever the community wants one and will offer the proper encouragement.

Thatcher, the pii t art-sq ie apostle of good roads who k preaching the faith througti; out ihe length and breadth of the land, having driven into Grants Pass Monday with an outfit fully as pic turesque as his personality, has found his sermon one of pulsating interest to the people of this locality. Monday evening the colonel was the center of an audience at the lob by of the Josephine Hotel till a late hour, and when he departs he will have left many suggestions to grow land hear fruit In future days. It Is upon the question of a great national boulevard that Thatcher warms the quickest. He wants na tional highways and state highways, and he tan point at once to the rea son and the benefits. n speainng of the coast divisions of the Yellow stone lloulevard, Mr. Thatcher said Tuesday: "The natural route for the Seattle and Portland divisions of the Yel lowstone Uoulevar from New York via the Yellowstone National Park to San Francisco, lies through Grants Pass and Crescent City, Cal. It is a foregone conclusion that there w ill lie two north and south state high ways through California. Naturally from San Francisco north one w'll follow close to the Pacific ocean to Crescent City and then to Portland via Grants Pass. The other great north road will go from San Fran cisco via Sacramento up Sacramento valley to Lower Klamath Lake, thence to Portland via Klamath Falls and Central Oregon. "The most powerful factor that has prevented the development of Ore gon is bad roads, and no roads at al! in many sections. Roads are just as necessary arteries of common e ns deep waterways and railways. When we consider that we have always had deep waterways and for many years railroads, and the resources of tlie great commonwealth, Oregon, are scarcely tapped, fie subject f good roads becomes the greatest subject of import before the citizens of this country. It Is your duty to cause) to be tapped these hidden mines of wealth which abound In quantity of ocean dimensions, in mountain, hill and plain in the glor ious state of Oregon. And the ina" Ic wand that will cause these streams of wealth io How Is a network of per manent highways throughout the en tire commonwealth: highways that can lie traveled with perfect ease every day in the year. "The greatest handicap to the farmers of the Pacific coast has been an inadequate home market for their products, and because of these con ditions the farmer has been robbed of the just fruits of his labor. And these conditions as well as robbing the farmers has filched the mer chant of millions of dollars and has been a giant obstacle in the way of industrial development. With an adequate system of state highways east and west, and north and south, throughout Oregon tlie entire coun try will develop by leap and bounds. Tens of thousands of the best of cit izenship win be attracted within the borders of this wondrous Oregon. Demand for manufactured products will have increased a thousand fold. I'nder new and more prosperous con ditions hundreds of industries will be attracted to Oregon, this land of Yoeit In order to reduce stock and make room for other goods we will place on sale THIS WEEK AND UNTIL SOLD, some extraordinary values in WHITE SEWING MACHINES fi,n is dT? heaid' drawer on a side full set of attachments and complete in every particular regular price $55.00, now $32.00 cash.

"The products adapted to central and eastern Oregon being restricted on account of climate, thus another monster home market is created for fruits and vegetables. The farmers and merchants of the Pacific coast basking beneath the Intoxicating rays of the happy sun of progress will Increase in wealth by millions. "The logical way to raise this money for these great state high ways Is by a generous bond Issue. We should not start out with less than $25,000,000. The loss to Ore gon every year by not having a per fect system of Improved highways Is at least $25,000,000. So you see at a glance that the construction of these roads Is not a tax, but an in vestment that brings a larger return than that coming from any other known legitimate means. "The future children and tens of thousands of citizenship attracted to the state by these highways will pay the largest part of this bond Issue, and the present citizenship will reap tlie greatest harvest.

IXt'KKASK KATK FOU HAlLIXti OKL H.;,.: The Waldo mine has been paying $8 per ton for the hauling of ore from the mine to Grants Pass for shipment to the Mammoth smelter at Kennett, California, but as an In ducement to get more teams on the job the rate ha3 been Increased tj $10 per ton, and all the teams avail able will be put at work. During the summer months a big auto truck was employed In hauling ore from the Waldo mine, but this discontin ued some time ago and the teams were again substituted. Good wages are made by teams In this work while the roads remain good, as a reasonably heavy team will easily haul two tons of the ore at a load, while some of the letter teams have brought In as much as three tons at a single trip. From four to five days are required for the hound trip, the time depending again on the roads. The work done by the county during the past season on the road to Waldo has made a great difference In the earning abil ity of a team engaged In ore hauling, and was really the determining fac tor In making a shipper of the Waldo, property.
