have had to meet these situations fol
years. Things to avoid will be dis.
cussed as frankly as things Of good
report.
Secretary c. G. Chapman of the
League is a man who has had world
of experience in these things and he
will be expected to come to the front
with ideas and suggestions.
Coming from a victorious campaign
in Southern Idaho, where a strong
league of commercial bodies has been
kept in line for a long time and is
now stronger than ever, Reilly Atkin-
son, secretary Of the League of South
ern Idaho Commercial Clubs, will
have much to tell of his work and the
things that have made 1t successful.
He has just been unanimously re-
elected. making it plain that his work
has been Of high order.
Secretary ]. E. Barnes of the
Southern Washington Development
Association, is an alert, aggressive
organizer who has bound the COM
munities of Southwestern Washing
ton into a strong, centralized machine
1t is doing things and Secretary
Barnes will tell about 1t. His address
will probably include some things
that, are rather startling, for he
speaks plainly, without seeking out
the honeyfed phrase. Considerations
OF policy never interfere with him in
telling the plain truth.
Secretary c. A. Malboeuf of the
Medford Commercial Club is an ex-
railroad man who grew up In the
traffic department of the Southern
Pacific. He is making Medford bet
ter known and will be heard from as
to the right methods to use.
Secretary j. s. Van Wrinkle, a
capable executive, will tell of the
things being done to help develop that
Willamette Valley center. Secretary
"A. S. Ashley OF the Baker Commercial
Club also came from the railroad
service and is making success of
his work In Eastern ,orsgon>-- ,~.--

agreed on the purpose OF the Oregon
Development League and will show
their sympathy with it, 1t is pro-
posed to establish an immigration
bureau and statistical bureau,
both under state supervision, and the
opinions of the two leaders of these
matters will be of interest.
Francis Hope. of the California
Development Board, which is doing
a great deal to forward the interest
of that state, is on the program for
Monday evening. Secretary r. j..
MacLean of the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce, who has one of the most
effective publicity organizations on
the Pacific Coast, will tell of his
methods. Secretary A. l.. Sommers
of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce,

the youngest. commercial executives
on the Pacific Coast, has made big

Matter of Precedents.
1t has been asserted that this flood
was without precedent. or course II
was. There have been but three prece-
dents After each you rebuilt your road
and no one OF these three was as serl-
dent? II takes a railroad and flood tc
make precedent OF value in considering
this question. In the Missouri river you
can measure the height of water on a
gauge and that constitutes a precedent
When A railroad occupies a narrow wa
ter-way there are q roadbed. and bridges
aud water tanks and section houses and
stations. and ties and lumber. and cars,
and telegraph poles, and wires and other
material which viii augment jam
When food gets high enough some OF
these things begin TO sail down stream.
Something, catches and other impedi-
menta following behind pile UP in an
imnrorised dam. If II is sufficiently
Wedged. a reservoir collects behind II.
dam. and make It thicker and higher.
Under such conditions IL doesn't take
long 10 make a new precedent. measured
by water marks on the canyon walls.
About the only definite knowledge you
have about such precedents Is how much
did each cost? We believe you gentle
men know when YOU get enough Of any
thing. especially Of presidents in the
Meadow Valley canyon.
Purpose Of Letter.
The purpose OF this letter is TO Offer
some suggestions and perhaps give some
information which will help in this
dreadful situation, We assume that you
will build a new line TO escape Clover
valley and Meadow Valley canyon. The
line We respectfully present for your con-
sidcration Is as follows;
Starting from near Crestline, go 70
Meadow valley by easiest route, prob
ably hitting Il below Panaca- Intersect
The Phoebe branch; follow It 20 about
mile post 81: 60 on UP Lake Valley over
or SIX miles west OF Delamar; continue
down the valley until II is necessary
10 take the hillside to go by easy grade
To head OF the Muddy, Then let the
topography decide where 1t is best to re-
turn 10 your old line.
We believe that grades by this line
would be easy water sufficiently abun-
dart. and that nowhere on the line would
construction be heavy, From cattlemen
who have ridden the range in this coun-
icers who have travelled on official bust
ness and from all who had or seemed
to have had experience which would en-
able them to speak with assurance, we
have tried to ascertain the truth.

roading is traffic. The next essential
