The railroads haye made a rate of
one fare for the round trip from all
points, tickets good on all trains ar
irving in Portland on the afternoon of
August | and the morning of August 2,
good to return until the evening of
August 4.
The Commercial Club makes the fol-
lowing suggestions, for the guidance of
delegates IN presenting the facts re-
garding the resources of the county:
"ln order to secure the best results
every element of boom should be elimi-
mated. Exact reports as to what indi-
vidual growers have accomplished are
what is desired. Plain and direct state
ments are wanted, giving actual results
as to cultivation, growth and marketing
OF all agricultural products, fruit and
livestock, accompanied by the name of
the grower and location of the land.
Generalities, no matter how delight
fully put, are of little value"
The great railroad systems traversing
oregon have several thousand men ac-
lively engaged in securing immigration,
and these same railroads have industrial
departments which will cooperate with
cities and towns on their lines in the
location of manufacturing enterprises,
and they want to know just exactly
what has been accomplished and reports
will be asked for from all of the inter-
esls represented through delegations
and no feature of the program will be
more advantageous and interesting
than this.
The Oregon Water Power and Rail
way Company have rendered the use of
four large cars for trip to Canemah
Park, beyond Oregon City-one of
the most delightful trolley rides in
America. A committee from the Wo-
mans Club of Portland will have
charge of this party, and it will be re-
strcted to the wives, daughters, sisters
and ladies accompanying delegates to
the convention. These special cars will
leave from the corner of First and AL
der streets exactly at 8 p. M, Tuesday,
August 2.
For Wednesday, August 3, a grand
trolley ride over the city with ten open
cars, Jointly supplied by the courtesy of
the City and Suburban Railway Com
pany and the Portland Railway Com
pany-these cars will start from Third
and Yamhill streets exactly at in the
afternoon. This will give the delegates
splendid opportunity to see the city
thoroughly and afford ample room for
the ladies who accompany them, as
those who reside in Portland or near
the city will not care to participate. Two
residents of Portland thoroughly fa-
miliar with all interesting points, will
go upon each car.
An informal reception for ladies and
gentlemen will be given by the Port
land Commercial Club at its rooms on
the eighth floor of the Chamber of
Commerce building, Tuesday evening,
from s to II O'Clock. During both days
of the convention and at all hours, the
rooms and especially the tower of the
Commercial Club, will be open for the
use of delegates. Portland and its en-
virons from this elevation is thought by
many to be the most delightful birds
eye view of a city to be obtained any
whore il this country.
