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

tion of organization of hor business

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.
