Portland, Or, June Is, 1908
While cyclones and floods are
visiting the South, East and Middle
West, and the rising waters are de-
stroying millions of dollars worth
of farm and city property, Oregon
is enjoying beautiful weather, de-
licious fruit, and looking forward
with the confidence inspired by as
sured crops this Fall.
On June 9th Portland business
men will be the guests of Eugene.
A special train will leave for the
University town at seven in the
morning and the party will partici-
pate in the opening of the new de-
pot there, will attend the Com
mencement Exercises at the Uni
versity and be entertained at re-
ception rendered by the Eugene
Commercial Club.
The house warming of the Port
land Commercial Club in its new
eight story steel home, which was
held last Friday night, brought to-
gether large and enthusiastic body
of prominent citizens, and it was
probably the happiest event that
has occurred in this city since the
Lewis and Clark Exposition.
