Continuing, Mr. Hall said : "I assure you I am pleaned to be with you tonight. In tho beginning ot my few words 1 want to make a confession, and that confession in that I am in lovo with your town, your valley and people. 1 admire people who do thing, and tlial'n why 1 love you all. - "Weil do 1 remember when our big immigration bureau wan being organ ized, and wo were nuking the various townn to put out printed matter for the Harrimau ageutn to distribute In the Kant ami Middle Went.

"And forming a pioturestiue back ground to the valley is Mount Hood perpetually covered with suow, an the aaccusiou of whose summit is the trio of all mountain trips In our matchless sceuio wonderland of the 1'acillo .Northwest. "With all this lavish handiwork of nature at your very door, who wool not want to live at Hood K'ver or in vour famous valley, where the be of everything grows to perfection) Yours in a veritable paradise. Jn tin spring time, nature makes a truly wonderful disnlav: your fruit tree seeming to vie with each other iu clothing themsevles In gorgeous robes of most beautiful shades of pink and white blossoms, and a few months later these same trees fairly groan un der their weight of choice fruit, which lends the world in quality and prices. "Wonderful has been your record the pHst few years, but 1 see in the future a brigl.ter and greater story. Von have my best wishes. 1 thank you." Mr. Jayne then Introduced Koswell Shelley of Udell, referring to him as the proprietor of the "Little White Store," whnie pen and volco were evor ut work singing tho paeua of praise of the valley. Mr. Shelley congratulated the club on the stand it had taken in deciding to include the valley iu the member ship of the organization and told of bin alibiing faith in the future devel opment of Hood Kiver and the coun try lying back of it. He said that it had everything to make it prosperous in the way of natural resources and told a story related by Senator Scott iu tho Senate about a Baptist minis ter who had a couple of incorrigible bofys who Insisted on playing cards despite ids earnest remonstrance. Cue day while they were playing up in the attic they heard the old gentle man coming up the stairs and burr eilly slipped the cards into the pocket of au old long tail coat that their father lined at immersions. The next day the minister had occasion to use tiie coat in baptizing some newly made members at his tlock, and as he stepped out into the water the tail of tiie coat tloated out and one by one tho cards came into view, first came tiie ace, then tho king, queen, jack and ten spot. The horrified mother of the boys turned to them and said. "Uli, boys, boys; see what you lmve done I You have disgraced your poor old father." And one of the boys smiled and said, "Why, mother, if father can't stand on that hand he ought to sink." That, said Mr. Sbel lev, was the way he felt about Hood Kiver. That they had everything here that man could wish for; that it only remained for the people of the valley to take advantage of it, and th, t it wan only a question of time and a very short time at that when the conveni ences of electric light and transporta tion would be extended up the valley, making it the ideal country for both business and pleasure. The toast ranter, with a gleam of humor in hin eye, at the conclusion of Mr. Shelley's talk, said "We have with un a gentleman from Portland who ban consented to address us this evening, and 1 take pleasure lu intro ducing Mr. Walter Moore." Mr. Moore iu responding said that he had not conseuted to address the gentlemen, as speech making was uot iu hin line, and that when he had ac cepted the invitation to attend the bauqi et he had no idea that he would be called on to do so. He was uot hero, he said, for the purpose of mak ing a speech, but for the purpose of doing something which he hoped would be a great benefit to the valley j and that be intended to stay here a ay or two Icoklng over the project. He said that be would not announce what it was at present, but later would, do so. That after listening to the re marks of the gentlemen wbo bad poken before bim be telt that be was worth a good deal. more than when he bad sat down to the table, aud that he had interests here he bad decided to dispose of, but after bearing the glowing talk and witnessing me great enthusiasm of this gathering of Hood Kiver citizens, be felt that be could not afford to do so, and was going to bold onto them. Mr. Moore's remarks made a very deep impression on the miuds of his hearers, and quite a rip ple of excitement was created among them as to what the project he spoke of was. . M. P. Isenberg was the last speaker to be called on by the toastmaster, bnt as Mr. Jayne said, be proved to be far from the least interesting, a bis remarks were mainly reminiscent of the past history of Hood Kiver end its growth since His .'esiaeno iipip which dates from the year 1H91. He recalled the fact that be first saw Hood Kiver on the same day that the presi dent of the club, U. V. Davidson, did, and told about meeting that gen tleman in toe small rjnnaiug wnicn stood where the Mt. Hood Hotel it now located and which "as tbe Vmly Dlace that bad accomodations fur guests. There weie no churches here at that time, and in fact very little to Indicate that it would ever become the thriving city that It has. The strawberiy industry was limited to seven acres all told, but wtieu . tie learned of the magnlctieiit returns be ing secured from tbis small acreage, notwithstanding the fact that he had a lucrative government position, lie gave it up aud settled in Hood Iiiver and bad neier regretted it, out on me contrary had seen the wpuderful strides which the towu and valley neu made in these comparatively few years. He said ne "welt on trie pasi history of the town to show what had been done, but that be was just as oi- timistic for the future, which he pre dicted would be surprising. It wan after midnight wben rtrie last speaker had concluded and Judge Cake arose and said that ne wanted to see the Hood Kiver Commercial Club with a membership of 150 strong, and then proposed three oheers for Hood Kiver aud the club. Mi. Smih quickly arose, however, and said that the judge was usurping bis privilege and proposed the cheers himself, which were given with a will. Judge Cake then not to be outdone, proposed that tbev uive three more, which were given so vociferously that they must have awakened any one who was try ing to sleep in the hotel. ' The banquet ended, the guests wove loud In tbolr acclamations that it was one of the best things that had evor been done to create good feeling and a genuine spirit of business develop ment in Hood Kiver. .
