situations to Idealistic holghts, and
ouo phaso of his talk entitled "Re
mombcr," to anothor, ho carrlod con
viction and lessons In homoly, Irro

Mr. Bobbltt Is a vorltablo gatllng
gun speaker. Ho lived up to his rep
utation as tho fastest speaker In his
homo county, and It was evident
that in addition to being tho fastest
speaker that ho must also bo class
ed among tho best. This dedicatory
addross was a gun, and among tho
list ot public speakers ho must bo
classed on a piano with that on
which bo placod beautiful Crater
lake, ho having, during tho courso
of his talk, roforrod to it as rtA
thing of boauty, fashioned by tho
fingers ot tho omnipotent Qod, and
hung as a lavnllor on tho broast of
naturo.
It would roqutro too much spaco
to rovlew, Mr. Dobbltt's address In
dotall. Brlotly, it was a call to tho
porson to rlm down to tho Klamath
river, stick a flngor In tho water,
pull It out and thon look for thp
holo. That will Ulustrato Just how
h,K tno vacancy will bo when

spoakor.
"Romomber," said Mr. Dobbltt,
"to boost nnd not knock, build up
and not tear down, push, and not
hold back, and above all stnllo and
not frown. Tho world has no uso for
tho "neutral," nor tor tho chronic
knocker," but tho optimist, tho per
son who works wholo-heartodly tor
community betterment Is tho Bort ot

cession as ho drovo homo his points,
nnd thoro was not a porson In tho

President E. D. Hall, ot
chamber ot commorco, oponed
program with a rovlow of
the
tho
tho
achlovemonts of tho chambor
commerce, particularly since T.
of
L.
Stonloy assumed tho oftlco ot secre
tary. From a membership of 121
In Juno tho chamber has grown to
617, and now mombors aro bolng ac
quired every week.
Tho chamber, said President Hall,
was Instrumental In securing the
$1,213, QQ0 appropriation tor irriga
tion purposes, chiefly through Its
Interest In .the Link rlvor dam con
troversy, which was finally settled
with satisfaction to tho American
Legion, to tho government, and to
the California-Oregon Power com
pany, which held the contract to
build the dam.
Tho home building campaign, de
signed to relieve ,the shortago of
housss hero, was due to the efforts
ot tho chambor- ot commorco, $25,-
000 of tho capital stock having al
ready been subscribed, thus enabling
the company to build 8 or 10 houses
early fn the. spring
These, and oth-
or things comprobonslvoly rovlewed
by President Hall, his talk leaving
tho Impression that tho chamber ot
commerco Is an extremely worth
while organization In this county.
Tho first musical numbor was a
song by Mrs. A. J. Voye, Mrs. E. D.
Johnson, and Mrs. Mlnnlo Henry.
Thoy wore roundly encored.
Dr. E. D. Mallctt, tenor, sang
"I Had My Lovo," and responded
to tho oneoro with ono of Frank B.
Robinson's songs, ontltlcd "Attor."
Mr. Mallctt Is a vary pleasing slng
or. "On tho Road to Mandnlay," sung
by Arthur Bean, elicited two en
cores.. Mr. Bean possesses a volca
of rare appeal.
Johnny Downoy, a local boy with
a big and pleasing volco, sang two
rouBlng songs.
Tho chamber of commorco quar-
totto furnished splendid ontortnln-
ment .lively songs, and parodtos, apJ
pllcajilo locally, bolng their contri
bution.
Tho audlonco closed tho formal
program by singing four Improvised
songs, to popular airs, after which
punch and cako wore served by the
ladles of tho chambor ot commorco.
Tho chamber ot commorco audi
torium was too small to accommo
dato the crowd, which was forcod
to find standing room in the otflcos
adjoining, tho open dcors between
tho offices and ,tho assembly room,
however, enabling thorn to hear,
even though they could not' soo tho
participants in the program.
Numerous expressions ot approv
al ot tho now chamber of commerco
quarters wero heard on every sldo
and It Is evldont that this auspicious
opening will havo a stimulating ef
fect upon tho llfo ot tho organiza
tion.
