This was brought oat at a meeting at the Hillsboro Chamber of Commerce rooms Monday evening of this week. Mr. Workman spoke at some length of the advisability o f or- ganizating a county chamber ot commerce. According to the speak er, these organizations have been of immense value wherever they have been in operation. He told of their success in Lincoln, in Klamath and Tillamook counties and in other states. His talk idkated that the principal value o f such an organiza­ tion lay in land settlement work, but told o f incidents wherein thl* sort of organization had helped a- long other lines. Many of those present spoke In favor of such an organization but several seemed skeotical as to where the money could come from Ed. Moore, secretary of the Hills­ boro chamber o f com’-terce thought that possible a start might he made by having a part time clerk work from the office of the Hills­ boro chamber.
