Three years as president of the
Willamette Valley Open River Asso-
citation, during which time hard
work was done to get a state appro-
priation for the Free Locks and Ca
nal at Oregon City, and the appro-
priation was put through congress,
under which the river will be freed
of corporation control and that wa
terway of western Oregon will be
opened to commerce and forever be
regulator of freight rates.
Two years service as president of
the Oregon-Idaho DEVELOPMENT con-
gress, which held 10 conventions
across the state and called attention
of the Hill and Hartman interests
to the undeveloped condition Of the
great central region of Oregon, and
as result two trunk lines are build
ing across the state.
This work has been carried on
without a dollar of salary having
ever been paid to the man who did
1t, and 1t was carried on by putting
his newspaper back of his work and
giving hundreds of pages to the
cause of upbuilding a greater Ore
gon.
Ii is not pretended that the peo-
pie of Oregon owe Col. Hofer an Of
fice for what he has done, but he
has a right to be considered a live
man among men, and a man who by
his works has shown that he loves
the state which he has made his
home, and that in his hands the
honor and reputation OF the state
and the pride of its people in their
magnificent commonwealth would
not be allowed TO suffer al the hands
OF any interest or influence.

Within the brief space of one
year the Oregon-Idaho Development
Congress has become a recognized
and potent factor in the progressive
industrial life of two states. For
its achievements, credit must be Civ
en- largely to Colonel r. Hofer, its
president. Regardless of any eriti-
cism that may be directed at him, IL
must be admitted Colonel Hofer is
a live wire. He is the kind that
can't let things drag. He does
things. He's developer. Tom
Richardson has done a great work
for Oregon. John Hartog has
brought Eugene prominently before
the public. They have been criti-
cised, but their work stands. The
state owes them much. In his Wig
Ourous campaign, Colonel Hofer may
have stepped on some toes; but he
has done an enduring work for two
states, and he has done it at the
sacrifice Of time and expense to him
self. Oregon and Idaho cannot do
better thing than to, employ Colo
mel Hofer, il his services are to be
had, though the cost be $4,000 a
year, and keep him in the field to
