SALEM GATHERING RECOM-
' "Hi
Meeting Valuable to Boosten-En-thuaiasra
Runs High Bright
Future (or Gilliam Opin
ion ol Mr. Weinke.
, T. A. Weinke returned last
evening from Salem where he
attended the meeting of the Ore
gon Development League as n
delegate of the Gilliam County
Booster Club. ' Mr. Weinke says
that more cnthUHiam was .dis
played at Salem than at any oth-
' er mooting of its kind he had
ever attended. Somo of the
most prominent men of the
Northwest were -present and
gave talks that were of vital in
terest to every one interested in
the advancement of Oregon.
Judge Colbfc, 'President of the
Med ford Commercial Club, ex
plained the "rapid advancement
of that city in the past few
years as being due to the fact
that all knockers had been -run
out of the town. He said that
one knocker- in a town would do
more damage than 20 boosters
could make up for. At the end
of the meeting tho League ' en
dorsed the movement to get the
legislature to appropriate $30,
000 annually fof tne purpose. of
systematically advertising the
resources of O-cgon. In order
that a new- department would
not have to be created it wa3 de
cided to let this fall under 'the
, head of Bureau of Statistics.
In this manner each county
, would receive an equal share of
the benefit arising therefrom
and tho tax for "that purpose
would be paid by everyone and
would not allow the heavy end
to fall on a few for the benefit
of many. Tho meeting was a
decided success and will prove
of great value to the boosting
element of Oregon. Mr. Weinke
; said this morning '.'Since my re:
turn, Condon never looked bet
ter to me than now. I believe
that with tho live bunch of busi
ness men that we have here
that we can make Condon, the
Wheat City,, the best town for
its size in the state. All we
need is to get together and with
the natural resources of the
county behind us we can present
to tho homeseekor and investor
the best proposition in the state
Its me for, Condon, first, "ltjst
and all the time." .

Question of Licensing Saloons up to Council.
The City Council will nieet next Monday night to discuss
and probably settle the question as to who shall be issued
liquor licenses. The liquor question has been the main top
ic for discussion since election and many and various means
have been suggested for the regulation of the traffic. Some
say that only two or three licenses should be issued while
others are of the opinion that anyone who wants to pay the
price should be given a license. According to Mayor Wood,
the only means of regulation lies in the actions of the City
Council.. It is up to them to say whether or not the disrep
utable features which have hitherto characterized the paloon
business in this city shall be continued or not. And wheth
er they will be doing business in the future depends upon
the actions of the saloon men. They will soon be on trial.
It ia now up to them and the council. ' ;

The following article from the
Weston Leader expresses the
opinion of the editor of that pa
per regarding the suggestim
that the vacant normal school
building be used for a cannery:
"The Leadrr is surprised and
displease- at the suggestion
made elsewhere by R.. F. John
son as t- utilizing the vacant
normal plant : A cannery, for
sooth! Why give .Orejron food
when it wants drink? Oregon
voted for booae and knocked out
two of its Normals. We sug
gest that a distillery be estab
lished in the young ladies' board
ing hall and & brewery in the
40,000 main building. Oregon
will then recognize our enter
prise with glad acclaim. This
state is not so slow. There are
some things it appreciates, ever.
though it doesn't want trained
teachers for its children."
