was rare and confined mostly to
the regular clergy living in mo-
nastic communities, it became the
fashion to illustrate the gospel narra-
tives by means of more or less realis-
tic dramatic representation. This
method Of instructing the unlettered
was borrowed from the old heather
mysteries. and the monks and nuns
who devised the pious scheme made
every effort to impart reverential un.

FOCUS ATTENTION ON THE WEST

Tom Richardson came to Portland
two years ago from New Orleans to
accept the position of manager and
publicity promoter for the Portland
Chamber Of Commerce. He at once
called a mass convention for the or
ganixatin sof the Oregon Development
league. It was considered the most
successful meeting Of its kind in the
history OF the state. Other like con-
ventions have been held and the de-
velopment work Of our sister state has
Increased apace In the last two years.
Commercial bodies were formed in
81 Of the important cities of the state.
and all of them banded together in
the Oregon Development league. Lit
erature descriptive OF the resources
of the state wf1e tired broadcast
among the eastern states where it was
considered to be productive Of the
greatest good. The names OF the Sec
retaries of the several commercial
clubs in all parts of Oregon accom-
panied each letter. and eastern people
dustries of the state were requested
to address the commercial clubs for
specific information
Direct results followed at once. and
thousands of immigrants who have
come to the state can be traced to the
information they received through Tom
Richardson's Oregon Development
league.
Now there Is movement on foot
for the extension Of this development
work to include the entire Pacific coast
states. Cooperation shall II the
watchword by which the Pacific states
region shall extend its influence and
prestige throughout the land. The
eyes Of the east are upon the west. Let
Idaho commercial bodies unite with
the other western states in this general
promotion movement.
