Do you want to see publicity bu-
reau organized in Pendleton 80 that
the attractions and resources OF the
city and county may be advertised for
the benefit of those who are seeking
homes In the west?
II you do, be at the court house
tonight when the mass meeting will
be held for the purpose Of listening
to Tom Richardson, the official boost
er and secretary of the Portland COM
mercial club. He will be here tonight
and he wants to meet the business
men, the property owners, profession
al men, workingmen and all others
who are interested in the work Of
building up the city and county.
While in eastern oregon Mr. Rich
ardson has been in all the principal
towns and as a result many Of them
are now planning publicity CAM
paigns. 1t is now up to Pendleton to
do likewise.
Time Is Ripe for Action.
With the colonization OF the irri-
gated section in the west end now un-
der way the time is ripe for public
ity campaign and Pendleton is ex-
pected to take the lead. Since this
city is the business center Of this Sec
ton 1t is held that II should assist in
the work OF exploiting the lands that
are being reclaimed.
Should publicity bureau be decid-
ed upon the funds for the same will
likely be raised Jointly from the prop
erty owners and business men of this
city and by the companies now plac-
ing irrigation lands upon the market
1t is understood that those now en-
gagged in colonizing their lands are
anxious and ready TO assist in the
publicity work in which case the ex-
pense will not have to be borne en-
tirely by local people.
The meeting tonight is being held
at the instance of the Commercial as
sociation and President Alexander
asks that every member of the or
ganization attend. However, II will
be a mass meeting for the general
public and the fact that one does not
belong to the, association should be
no bar TO attendance.
