"This result is due to the harmony that prevailed In the Oregon delega tion in congress. The whole delega tion is entitled to the credit for this E. J. Adams of Eugene, private ! and not one more than another for secretary to Senator Robert X. Stan- every one of them did his full share, field, was the principal speaker at They all pulled together in the same the annual business meeting of the chamber of commerce held at' the Hotel Medford last evening. Among other things he referred to the Oregon state highway system and Its value to- the state, lie referred to the campaign of six years ago to obtain. the approval of the people to the six million dollar bond Issue that started the construction of that splendid highway system. He erred to the statement' he made In an address at the old Star Theatre in Medford at that time to the effect that the motor license fees would pay the principal and interest and accu mulate a surplus of nine million dol lars by the time the last bond . was paid. This statement has, he said, been more than verified since. !: "There are now outstanding 3S xrdlliou 4llurs of state highway bonds and the motor license and gas tax will pay both principal and Inter est and leave over a million dollars a year for maintenance and new con struction." said Sir. Adams. "The people of Oregon will never be re quired to pay a cent in property-tax to retire the state highway bonds. "There is no cause for alarm on account of the bonded indebtedness of Oregon. The largest part of It are the highway bonds and nearly. all of the balance was for money loaned to ex-service men. which will be fully repaid, both principal and Interest by the borrowing soldiers. "The state of Oregon has been blessed with lavish gifts of natural resources far beyond other stales of the union. The great middle western states had but a broad expanse of fertile acres of soil upon which to build great commonwealths and with less square miles In area have several times the population of Oregon and many times the taxable property. Oregon has not only the fertile soil as a natural resource, but she has a climate unexcelled by any state and oenery mat Is not equalled any wnere, inis Is a material and valu able asset that attracts hundreds of inousands of tourists that will in a few years sprinkle our highways with money that will In years equal in the aggregate every year the total cost of our highway system. This means a large market at home for our pro- oucis, me customer coming to the gate or me producer. ' "In addition to this we hove great water power In our numberless streams, big nnd little, thnt when harnessed and converted Into electri cal energy will bo sufficient to sup Ply the needs of five million people in power, heat and light. This means eminent nnd thoap power that will attract Industries. "And yet the Crentor was not sat isfied, but He covered the landscape with a growth of timber that has taken a hundred years to grow nnd mature, ready for the harvest. The crop Is now ripe and, ready for the harvesters thnt are now coming in ever-lncreasing numbers. , "One fourth of all the standing limber in the United states, or fifty billion feet, is n Oregon; enough to koep a mill of one hundred thousand feet per day capacity working for 16.666 years or enough to build forty tnllllon six room houses; enough to house all the people la the United States and then thnt many more. "This Is disregarding growth. This meanB wonderful activity n the tim ber industry hero in the ner futurc and with caro in tho harvest can bo made n pormanent und porpotuul In dustry l Oregon. "Wo can do much for ourselves, but theso things need federal help reclamation, highways, und river and harbor improvement. I am delighted to report the success that has been attained by tho Oregon delegation In getting federal help. direction at the same time. Team work and harmony, and this is the result." Other speakers of the evening were Bert Anderson, I'aul B. McKee. B. C. Harder, E. H. Hurd. J. C. Barnes, iri I. Walther ond others. RIALTO NOW PLAYING I .
