PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 12.--Noticing
that there is to be a public meeting held
Wednesday evening to take action on
receiving the members of the Press as
sociation October 4th, / wish to say that
we want you folks to go to as little
trouble and expense as possible. When
the association discussed the matter
last year, it was decided and acknow-
lodged to be compliment not only to
The Dalles, but to Eastern Oregon. The
association knows that Eastern Oregon
has never had fair deal at the hands of
congress: We want All open river to
the sea.
The object in going to Astoria one
year ago, was to bring the Columbia
river before the public rs much as pos
sible, and it was the same thing that
prompted the choosing of The Dalles as
our next place of meeting.
Not only The Dalles, but the entire
state will be benefited by the session
soon to be, and every newspaper should
be represented, especially every publ
cation in Eastern Oregon. Let none re-
main at home.
We are going to The Dalles for pure
business. If there are any points about |
opening up this grand old river that you
can show our members, do it, but don't
ask the good citizens to go to unneces-
eary expense, especially when they will |
only get small portion of the benefits !
to be derived from the visit.
Having paid close attention to the |
amount of advertising given Portland by |
the country press during the month fol- |
lowing the annual meeting two years
ago and having placed a money value
upon it by taking the regular rates for |
advertising it amounted to $4,000, and |
in addition created better opinion of
Portland than the press ever before had |
AS to the Astoria meeting, I figure that
that city has received IS 900 worth of I
advertising during the past year, that
can be traced directly to the press meet
ing.
This year there are 164 publications
in Oregon. Those not represented at |
the meeting will mention the fact any !
way, of; the meeting, where held, object |
of its going to your city, ETC., and while |
the mention IN some of them will be |
short, you may rest assured that every |
line written about The Dalles and the /
press meeting, if cut out and charged |
for at regular rates, between now and |
the next session, would foot up aome-
thing in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Asilto the number who will attend, it |
u - ta say, but / will place 1t at 100,
!. n..s.s= - my Office; doubt
from letters nov -- S"shington
if it exceeds that. AS the ezs,.---e
press association meets the same day
many of our members wish to pay a
fraternal visit and return home by waysl
of the sound. The Union Pacific has
rendered transportation to Spokane, and
the Northern from Spokane to Portland
via the sound.
ALBERT TozIER, Secretary.
On motion the committee adjourned
to meet in the county court room at
9:15 p. m. Friday Sept. 10th.
