During the firsts six months of the
present year 214 families settled on
farms in Oregon and invested $650,
374. That is the official record of the
Land Settlement department of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce whose
work is co-ordinated with that of the
State Chamber in serving those who
wish to come to the state to engage
in agricultural pursuits.
If a complete survey of all counties
were taken, it would doubtless be
found that the number of actual set
tlers is nearer the 1000 mark than the
records show.
In its work of encouraging real far
mers to come to Oregon to develop the
farming area of the state and in
crease the upstate population re
sponse comes to the department from
widely separated geographical points,
according to W. G. Ide, who super
vises the activities of this department
of the development work.
From Java, in Dutch East India is
coming a young Hollander to devote
his sturdy efforts to irrigated lands
in Orgeon. At present manager of a
sugar factory, Mr. Von Stietz will
bring to his new farm home technical
training in agriculture acquired in
Holland, as well as practical exper
ience which he will direct toward
general farming with poultry as a
specialty.
Inspired also with a desire to come
to Oregon in the near future is Ger
man Bannert who now dwells in Chile.
Accompanied by his family which in
cludes 11 persons Mr. Bannert hopes
to select lands in which he can make
a substantial investment for farming
purposes. ,
The success of the land settlement
organization continues to justify its
establishment. The committee has
been in existnc about two and one
half years, during which time be
tween 1800 and 1900 families have
been in existence about two and one
on farms, the capital investment be
ing in excess of $8,000,000. During
this time no complaints have been
made by any of the settlers about be
ing disappointed in what was offered
through the land listing and appraisal
system. ,
BOARDMAN
MRS. A. T. HEKEIM, Correspondent.
Boardman organized a commercial
club last week with S. H. Boardman
president. A. E. Porter, vice-president,
Lee Mead, secretary-treasurer. The
board of directors is composed of the
above officers with C. S. Calkins, T.
E. Broyles and H. H. Weston. The
membership is to consist of all on the
project who are interested in the wel
fare of the community. The mem
bersip fee has been made low enough
so that any one can join, being only
one dollar a year. The general pur
pose of the organization is for com
munity betterment. At present a good
deal of attention will be given to the
settlement question, endeavoring to
secure settlers for the vacant places.
The local organization will cooperate
with the Land Settlement committee
of the Portland Chamber of Com
merce. Boardman at one time had a
live-wire commercial club which like
many other organizations fell by the
wayside, but no doubt this will flour
ish and much benefit will be derived.
Let's all get behind the organization
and work for the good of the project.

The Boardman project was visited
Saturday by Mr. Gounoux, agricul
tural representative of the Union Pa
cific, and Mr. Foster, field man of the
Land Settlement Committee of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce. They
were shown about the project by Mr.
J'orter and Mr. Boardman. They are
here in the interests of the land set
tlement work and visited the various
farms and discussed matters with
different ranchers who were anxious
to dispose of their places. Mr. Foster
explained the work of the committee,
its functions and methods. He ex
plained his plans to go to the middle
west and east this fall and will inter
est prospective' settlers in those sec
tions. He stated that the hardset task
the committee had was to sell Oregon
to the Oregonians. He also said ch it
while every farmer might be asking
the question, "How can I sell my
place?" he should ask himself two
more questions: first, "Where wouid
I go to better myself?" and secondly,
"What would I do if I sold?" The
questions are not pointless and are
worthy of deep cogitation.
The Grange held an interesting ses
sion Saturday night at the school
house with a large attendance. The
lecture hour was of especial :n teres',
as outside speakers were heard. First
Mr. Swayze of the Hermiston bank
was given the opportunity to explain
the necessity of making the oCc
monthly service charge, a policy
which they adopted this month. He
explained that of the 1,024 depositorj
one-third of whom carried a balance
of less than $10, and of course these
accounts would not cover expense for
postage, check books, etc., and in or
der to pioitct themselves it was nec
essary to make this charge. He men
tioned that if not mor than funr
checks were issued during the month,
the service charge would not be made
and asked that if there waj any one
who did not understand thb question
to come to h!m personally as the bank
was very anxious that it shoald lose
no depositor because of a misunder
standing. A pianj solo was given by Margiret
Smith followed by a tiik by Mr. Fos
ter who stated that Orogj i has oniy

eight people to the square mile and
a third of this population was in Muit-
nomah county and one-half m the
Willamette valley. He stated that the
Portland commission was endeavoring
to bring more settlers to Oregon. Mr.
Foster was sent last year to Ashland
where he met all incoming tourists.
He asked what this particular com
munity was doing to interest outsid
ers. He said he saw no signs along
he way telling passing tourists what
v.e have to offer, no invitations to
stop and look over the project. Mr.
Foster expressed the willingness of
the Portland chairman to cooperate
with the settlers here.
A piano duet by Linda Hango and
her teacher, Mrs. Lee Mead, was
greatly enjoyed. Mr. Gounoux then
spoke and among other things said
that he could tell the farmers how
'o beat the 50c service charge at the
bank. . Some good dairy cows, a few
hundred good hens, a brood sow
would eliminate the need for the ser
vice charge for the bank account
vould never be less than the required
$50. He stated that he was very much
like the negro who said the chicken
was the usefullest animal. We can
eat her before she's born or after
she's dead. He mentioned the oppor
tunities here and spoke of the fine
corn raised this year on the Porter
ranch and suggested that it might be
the beginning of a splendid strain of
seed corn.
A piano solo was then played by
Alice Calkins. Last on the program
was a short talk by Fred Steiwer,
nominee for U. S. senator of the re
oublican party. Mr. Steiwer did not
discuss campaign issues but gave a
general talk and spent his time more
in getting acquainted than in active
campaigning. He spoke of the oppor
tunities of this project, touching
briefly on the development of the
Umatilla Rapids project and sketched
some of the history of the project
for the benefit of the Portland vis
itors, speaking from the viewpoint of
an eastern Oregon man.
Luncheon was then served to all
the visitors in the cafeteria.
