FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3fl, 1008. w 3. n t. . ., V it tt; J. ; TEAM WORK TRANSFORMING All OF WESTERN OREGON A String of Cities Springing Up That Glitter Like Jewels On the Breast of a Queen ADDRESS 1Y TOM IHCIIAItDSO X, SECRETARY OV THE ORE GON DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE, AT THE OREGON STATE FAIR AT SALEM, MONDA Y, SEPTEMBER 11TII. Oregon Is prosperous. The cities and towns o tho state are building better business houses, good streets, and almost innumerable homes, when ono would Judge, from news paper reports, at least, tnai more was a partial cessation of such activi ties In many sections of tho United States. Factories are locating In all parts of tho state and transportation fa cilities, both by rail and water, nre upon tho lscrease, while every part of Oregon Is adding to its population and Increasing Its cultivated acres. ThlB result has been brought about by as fine an example of "team work" as any stato in tho Union has over witnessed. Tho newspapers, tho commercial bodies, and the different associations which have for their purpose the advancement of tho fruit and dairy lntorests, tho Improvement of the highways, and all organiza tions which mean the betterment of tho stato, aro doing effective "team work" for tho common development of all. Tho actlvo workers of tho Rogue rivor valloy have only good to say about tho other parts of tho state. ThiB is truo of tho energetic citizen ship of tho Wlllametto nnd Umpqun valloys, and nil of Eastern Oregon actually rejoices at tho prosperity of tho western part of tho state. Prniso for Portland Jn tho nows papors of tho ontlro commonwealth has taken tho place of tho sneers and consuro of a fow years ago, and all Oregon is a chorus for advancement and prosperity. Ono of tho best known railroad officials of tho country recently made a trip through Oregon, and while ho admired tho resources and at tractions of tho stato almost beyond expression, ho contorod his cominont upon tho harmony, unity, and to borrow his own words, "tho splendid team work" of tho Orogonlans. At a meeting held in tho Wlllam etto valley only a few yoars ago, tho easiest way for a speaker to got ap plause was, to mako a caustic remark rolatlvo to Portland. Dut that Is a thing of tho past, for It seems to bo universally understood today that tho roputatlon of any Individual com munity within tho bounds of Oregon has olthor u bonoficlal or prejudicial effect upon tho stato as a whole. As an entirety, tho peoplo of Ore gon nre not given to boasting of tho state's attractions, but they havo laid aside tho pessimism that ruled beforo tho successful Lowls and Clark exposition, and tako greater pleasure In saying kindly things thnn was truo In formor years. The advertising campaign being carrlod on todny by tho Oregon com munities is easily tho most compre hensive of any stato west of tho Missouri river, and as that great area Includes somo of tho most pro gressive commonwealths In tho Unit ed States, this statement is a strong ono but absolutely truo. Tho active business organizations of the different communities aro ag gressively selfish, but it is becoming the custom whenever thoy inn to lo cate a given Industry or ontorprlso to try to find somo other advantageous location for that project within tho confines of tho stato. Kindly ex pressions about many portions of Oregon nre to bo found In tho papors of every part, and thiB Is "team work" of tho very highest class. Tho peoplo of this whole stato havo rejoiced ovor what thoy havo accept ed as an assurance of a railroad lino Into Central Oregon, with Just as whole-hearted an enthusiasm as though it meant an additional trans portation strength to tho lmmodlntu locality in which thoy reside. Tho Salem man will toll you with pride of tho forward march of sister towns, and Is delighted to toll about other communities building hnrd surfaco pavement in harmony with tho street improvements of tho Capi tal City. And this spirit is indicative of tho 8ontlmont prevailing all ovor tho Deavor stato. Portland business mon havovlsltod ovory section of Orogon, and tho business mon of other communities havo mado it both tholr plcasuro nnd duty to becomo hotter acquainted with their Burroun'dlng towns. Tho pessimist can always find a vast number of things to object to. Finding fault has nlways beon and always will bo a human weakness, but honestly, I bollovo there is ns lit tlo of It today In Oregon ns In any other community under tho sun. No ono man Is deserving of nny special pralso In whnt has boon ac complished in this stato, nor is any ono community to bo croditod with tho progress made by nil Oregon, but It is duo to systematic "team work" in which ovory man, woman and school child havo participated. As a consequonco every pnrt of Oregon has becomo bettor known thnn ovor beforo and thousands of peoplo havo como horo to mako their homes, nnd whllo tho shndows nro darkening around somo othor sec tions of our great country, Orogon Is prosperous. This Is truo of tho west, tho east, tho south, and the north, and is soon to bo even more forcofully truo of the great core of tho stato, which has long beon with out much-needed transportation. If a man earnestly favors the deepening of Coos Bny ho doeBn't wnnn lmo and find enemies by ob jecting to tho Improvement of tho Columbia river. It uoosn t. runner tm imnrnvnmont of the Willamette to mako an objection to tho expendi ture of funds on tho Upper Columbln. An appropriation for n public bulld int? nt La Ornndo doesn't hinder ono at Baker City, and no peoplo believe In this doctrine moro thoroughly thnn do Orogonlans. Tho divided community Is not prosperous. A small clique cannot mako a great city. It takes "tonm work" to win all must pull together. Tho fruit grower or tno stnto long since rejected the plan of "going It alone and tho devil tako tho hind most," nnd is pulling with his fel lows In associations which illustrato tho highest perfection in "team work" to bo witnessed in America, and ns a result tho Oregon nppio brings tho highest price of any pro duced In tho world. "No man can pncK his own np plos" 1b tho ouporlntlvo of good old common horso scnBO, nnd it is the character of "team work" that counts. The fact that tho Orogon Comlco pear has roachod tho climax of American high-priced fruit Is a result of tho same kind of co-opora-tlvo organization. "Team work" among tho creamer ies of Orogon somo might think tho word "trUBt" nppllcablo horo has gained for tho Orogon dairy produc or a hlghor prlco for his butter fat thnn is paid anywhoro olao, and this prlco Is within n cont and a half a pound of what tho best croamory buttor commands nt wholesale. Tho consumer payB a good round prlco, but ho scorns to bo willing. It Is common to go away from homo to hoar tho nows, and thoro la no saying In tho world truer than that "DlBtanco londs onchantmont to tho view," but lot's look nt homo and wo find much to compllmont. At tho Alaaka-Yukon-Paclflo expo sition to bo glvon noxt yonr nt So attlo, Orogon loads; In tho perfec tion of organization of hor business utrnncrtti nn n. wllfllo. fillO lends: III 0 TO of hor communities nro working llko ono man than Is truo In any othor stnto. In fact, Orogon oxcoods thorn all In splendid "team work," and It is a plcasuro to Bay that tho harness which binds this great team togothor embraces almoBt ovory man, woman and child In tho stato.
