The president called attention to sug-
gestion made to him by General Charles
P. Mattocks of the advantage that it
would be to Portland to have in Chicago
some office as bureau of information
for the proper distribution of printed
information of the advantages and at
fractions that Portland offers to tourists
and summer visitors, which might be
maintained for six months in the year, at
a moderate cost to our citizens. The
PROJECT was favorably received and re-
garded as of great Importance, but ac-
ton deferred for the present.
A communication was read regarding
attempts that are being made to place
restrictions upon the Canadian railways
by discriminating acts in Congress which
would be of vital damage to New Eng
land traffic. The matter was referred to
the special committee on transportation,
of which Colonel Fl. S. Osgood is chair
man.
Industrial matters were discussed at
some length, and several members ex-
pressed the hope that early efforts would
be put forth to have grand industrial
exhibition in this city, as being the one
thing especially needful to give Portland
an impetus and vitality in this direction.
Regarding the prospect of the visit of
the National Educational Association to
Portland next summer, President Wins
low said he thought the chances were de-
cidedly in favor of the excursionists ac-
cepting the invitation.
