. Tbi UtaiB of a supplementary cam
palm for memberships of the Meilford
CBamber of Commerce are now being
SrraBged. This campaign Is consid
ered aa belbg justified on account of
the accomplishments which the Cham
tier bag found It possible to attain dur
ing the past year.
There were approximately fifty citi
zens of Mod ford and immediate vicin
ity who became members of the Chum
ber during the past year, at the same
time there was a loss of a similar
number through death, removal from
the county and by the cancellation of
tbe board of directors of those who
signed la the heat of the expansion
cam pal en who ought never to hare
dose so because of their Inability to
meet the financial pledge undertaken.
The membership at the present time is
therefore tbe same as it was a year
ago, althongb there are a greater num
ber who can be depended upon to
make good the financial pledge which
they hara undertaken.
- Due to the large organization ex
pens of a year ago as large -an

of this big labor organization.
Krom the Glasgow, Liverpool, Car

rank and file are challenging the right
of the railway men's national execu

their wages which brought about tbe
strike in the coal Industry, Is justifi
able but they do not consider that tbey

A Message to the
People of Oregon
By Governor Olcott
XT IS with pleasure I talce the opportunity thus
afforded me to urge upon the people of the
state the importance of rallying around Oregon
industries by the purchase of Oregon products.
The prosperity of all of us is very closely linked
with the prosperity of such industries. When
Oregon people invest in Oregon industries by
the simple method of buying their products, they
are making an investment which cannot help but
bring large returns to themselves.
I sincerely trust thnt this campaign to rducate the
people of the state into the knowledge that the
purchase of Oregon products means a greater and
better Oregon for each and every one of us will
meet with success from the start.

The tallowing Interesting letter has
ben received by K. ,M. Hlldreth of
Medford and Butte Knl'r from lis
grandson, Clyde Hlldreth, 'describing
his experiences in Manila and particu
larly the feeling regarding Japur. in
Vncle Sam's eastern posseKsions:
- "Think I have something to write
about this time that will be Interest
ing, and that Is a description of a trip
I took last Sunday. 1 went to a
place called Pafrsanjan wllh a friei .
which is a small rlty of about 10,000
and about 70 miles from her, and
although there are no Americans liv
ing there, It is one of the most pro
gressive places in the islands. Has
electric lights, being one of tho eit-'ht
towns In the Philippines with that
convenience, an ice plant, clean
streets, beautiful houses with iciv
few of the bamboo shacks you nee so
many of here, nnd Is the only .try
town in the Islands, li is in Ligun.i
province In the center of tne co-
connut raising district, and theie ure
miles of cocoanut groves wlih-h are
very beautiful. There are many lich
planters there, and they send their
sons and daughters to tho U. S. to gel
college educations, and so that ac
counts for their progress. There Is u
delightful little hotel, neat and clean
as a pin, and they serve excellent
mcnls in the American style and verv
cheap. Tho big attraction nmd the
thing that Americans go there for is
tho trip up the gorge to the falls.
Pageanjan is in the mountainous
region and not flat like Manila, al
though wo can see tho nioun tains
fromhere. You go up the gorge in a
native boat culled a banea. which is
like a canoe nnd hollowed out of a
log. One passenger with two boys to
pnddle. Tho whole trip takes nbout
four hours from. Pobkiiiiimi. First.
you go along a bcnuti'ul liver with
tropical trees on each cide and ail
sorts of strange birds and oilier
things, and then you oiitv the gorge.
t Is only about ns wide r.s tin ordinaiv
street in Oakland, and th.? walls are of
rock nnd go straight up for -,hi-ee hun
dred feet. livery little whltj yiw ti me
to rapids and ihe natives jump out
ond wade in tho water n , to thi-lr
necks and while you stay In the canoe
they haul you up tho rapids. Some
times they have to jump from rock to
rock, and when they .-dlo y u get a
thrill. They use a rope tn Home i s
tent, one going ahead sod fust-pie
it to a rock, while the other holds lli i
canoe, and then if they lose the cmoe
the rope holds it. There were two
places whore we had lo et cut into
the. river and step from rc:k lo roi k
ns the rapids were too swift and they
had to carry the cmoe on tneir hi nds.
Needless to say, it is necessary to
wear a bathing suit on this trip. After
about .four miles, tho gorgo comes to
a complete stopand the wnole river
omes pouring down over n ilifr for
over two hundred feet into n deep
pool. The natives say they have
never been to the top of tho falls and
do not' know what is up there or
whoro the river comes from. I mean
to find out somo day. There Is some
sort of superstition connected with
tho place, but 1 couldn t get it
straight. The gorgo was certainly
formed by an earthquake. as nny
placo you look, you ran see that the
formation on one side would exactly
fit into the other. Then you start
back down the river, and coming
down you shoot the rapids, nnd cer
tainly travel in somo places. The na
tive boys mannge the banca wonder
fully, turning this way and that, nnd
scorn to know every rock In tho river.
It is a common thing to upset, but
no one ever gets arownea as inese
boys nr about half fish and always
pull their passengers out of the river,
even big, fat Amorican women. I
saw lots of smashed canoes on the
ocks. Although I got wet I did not
upset, but my friend's bancs got
swampod in the middle of the longest
old and sunk under him nnu ne nnu
to swim, Tho hoys got the bout up
ind emptied it nnd we went on. It
was lucky that I had the camera. Our
pictures did not turn out good, ns it
was too shady in the gorge, i intend
o make tho trip again nnd think it is
n placo I would never tiro of.
Wo don t know what they will no
with field clerks here after next June.
t Is rumored that we may be all sent
homo then, but I don't think It likely.
We henr lots more about war with
Japan here than I did in the states,
and thero aro frequent articles in the
papers about it. The Japs nre hated
crv much hero and Jnpnn is very
close. Tho Americans here are mnk-
ng very few visits to Jnpnn ns they
aro not treated well nnd they hold
up their pass ports and suspect them
nil of being spies. The transports have
bud trouble In getting cleared nt
Nagasaki If they hnd nny military
prisoners aboard, and the Japanese
authorities are very nosey. Hut I guess
It is not serious.

SALEM, Ore., April 9. F. W. Wil
liams, chairman of the State Public
Service commission made the follow
ing public statement yesterday: "Thru
tbe city attorney's office of the city of
Portland I have just received a draft
of the petition for rehearing in the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph com
pany case about to be filed with this
commission, fixing the date for a
hearing on the petition April ISth,
1921.
"Seldom is a member of a tribunal
clothed with judicial duties justified la
commenting upon a matter pending,
before final order, but personally I
feel In this instance that there are
misapprehensions as to the law and
facts involved that impose upon me
the obligation of an explanation.
"I believe without reservation that
the commission should encourage the
greatest latitude in the presentation
of this case, thereby inviting every in
dustry or class affected to participate.
There should be no undue restriction
and there should be evory endeavor in
order to prevent any inequalities or
discriminations. I also would advocate
that such measures at the time of re
hearing as developments warrant
should be adopted by the commission
as will properly and effectually pre
serve and safeguard the Interests of
all parties. Kvery angle of the case
should be discussed in detail in order
that there may be the fullost under
standing of nil the questions involved.
"If there were false premises result
ing In this order then at the rehearing
all the facts should be full presented.
This is the fairest and most expedient
way for the case to be settled.
"On lis face this petition shows that
a careful study has been made of the
several issues involved and apparently
every element bus oeen thoroughly in
vestigated with a fixed Idea of pre
senting all questions which may havo
a bearing upon tho situation, it not
only states specifically tho grounds
upon which the application Is based,
but also clearly and analytically the
reasons for a reconsideration. The
petition likewise shows facts nnd cir
cumstances arising subsequent to the
order which might have much weight.
Wo shall by the time set have had
nearly two months of actual perfor
mance under the new rates for our
guidance.
"If the order is wrong then I am
only too glad to have facts or law
presented which will justify its cor
rection. "In my judgment from such an ex
amination as I have been able to make
of tho petition it would justify a re
consideration of tho case nt tho earli
est possible date."
