Willis, of Pen dleton, outlining the object of the or ganization, committee of five were ap pointed to draft resolutions and report at the morning session Wednesday, at which time the organization was com pleted and the Third District Devel opment League was launched and to borrow an expression from one of the speakers, "ready to peddle hot air". At Lexington, those at the station waiting for the train made up their minds they would have to walk or wait for the regular train, as from some cause the engineer of the excursion train failed to stop until he ran by the station nearly half, a mile. B. F. Swaggart, who was a passenger from Pendleton, informed the train crew that he lived here and ordered them to back up te the station as there were people there who wanted to go. The people of Heppner were untir ing in their effort to amuse and ac comodate the crowd that came to their city. The Commercial Club rooms were thrown open that those who desired might amuse themselyes there. For those who enjoyed tripping the light fantastic a ball was in prog ress on the first floor of the club build ing. The Third District Development League will be in touch with parties through the Middle West who are de sirous of coming to the Pacific Coast. H. C. Willis, the secretary informs us that the Umatilla County Development League was receiving twenty-five to fifty letters of inquiry each week, from parties through tile Middle West. These inquiries will be sent to the Secretary of the different Commer cial organizations throughout the dis trict, and each Secretary will answer these letters exploiting the advantages of that locality. . . The Inland , Empire will thus become better known and the parties from the east will soon become aware of the fact that the best part of Oregon lies east of the Cascades. At Lexington these inquiries will be re ceived and answered by W. E. Leach Secretary of the Lexington Commer cial Club. Some may say that there is consid erable hot air connected with the work as outlined, there may be, but ts President Johns remarked: "It takes a large amount of hot air to develop a country. The Pendleton Fair was the result of hot air. The Third District Development League is the product of hot air. Give us plenty of hot air and we will develop the Inland Empire." Boost! Boost!!
