Now as to delegates. Every mem
Der of the Oregon Development league
is entitled to name delegation to in
clude any desired number-the section
convention should be borne in mind in
appointing delegates so that men from
the different industries are named.
Every editor in the state is dele
gate at large, because it is through
the newspapers that oregon will gel
her publicity Where there is no or
ganization holding membership in the
league, the appointment of represen-
tatives devolves upon the mayors OF
towns and the county commissioners
and it is especially desired that several
sections of the state not now affiliated
with the league should organize and
Join us. Every possible permanent
benefit should be secured as result
of the enormous western travel that is
now a certainty.

President
