HON. r.. A. BOOTH MAKES RiNGlNG
SPEECH ON FATRONIzING HOME
INDUSTRIES AND BUILDING UP
THE STATE.

In a ringing speech al conyocauon
at the Oregon Agricultural college at
Corvallis last Thursday, the Hon. H.
A, Booth, OF Eugene, told the students
of the oregon Agricultural College OF
the possibilities open TO them in de-
yeloping the resources Of the state
through the use of Oregon produce,
mo citizen of our state can disre-
gard the Injunction Of the executives
proclamation and heed the states best
interest" said Senator Booth. 1T
may seem like a common place thing
to urge our citizens 10 the use OF Ore
gon grown, oregon made articles, but
II is fundamental TO our success as
community that seeks wealth and COM
fort
ITO guard against undue lmporta-
ton is elemental in its economic force
and therefore Is a patriotic duty. The
greatest stimulus to continued and
better effort Is the success Of effort ex-
crted at home. Home comforts from
the home land might well become our
slogan. II resident Of Oregon asks
bread from any but Oregon -four he
might better be given a stone,
"The oregon home-keeper who sup
plies her table, furnishes her apart
ments and adorns her parlor with
Oregon products is Of infinitely more
value to oregon society than the one
who robs our common treasury by
sending away for articles that have
no real worth. Blessing on the Oregon
woman whose sentiment is founded
upon good sense!
"The fir and pine, the oak and ash,
the maple and myrtle that form our
forests are fit to house a king, and
llingly Oregonians employ them. For
an Oregonian to be misinformed as to
the good qualities of Oregon products
shows a wilful disregard of common
knowledge. To he persuaded by sill
ly vanity to bring from other places
what Oregon can supply is on a par
with exchanging domestic wealth for
foreign titles. Why cannot this be-
come the day from which shall date a
new loyalty born Of patriotic good
sense? From this day none shall be
disloyal but to be condemned. Let the
word 80 along the, If serve you, you
must serve me in return use your

"our professional men, merchants,
and bankers, owe their present oppor-
tunities, their success and their for
tunes largely to the producers of
Oregon, Let them then be true to the
Oregon producers interests or be
gone. If the performance of a plain
duty to Oregons interest heretofore
has been from thoughtlessness, let It
not be condoned hereafter. With our
own people, welded to our climate,
cheered by our scenery, made hopeful
10y promised riches on every hand,
there will be no faltering hereafter,
certainly, so far as home consumption
of home products is concerned; and
cheered by such substantial increased
aid as may thus be offered our farm

double their efforts, increase their
poyrolls and multiply their outputs" 4"

G. F. Propst of Chicago, who rep
resents John j. and Walter j. Cum

after having spent two days i'm the

H. E. Hance of the Mankato COM
| pany, considerable credit for the
progress he had made with the rail
! road, and stated that although the
first years in railroading no matter
where, were hard shedding, he had
no doubt but what this company
would make good in MankatO, and
expected within a few years to see
considerable more trackage laid.
Mr.. Propst touched upon the mat
ter of bridge across the Minnesota
river, and said that the people of
North Mankato needed the service
all right and the company would
be glad to extend their lines there,
but not until a new bridge was
built.
1t is possible that if more track.
age is laid, another line will be made
on the north end of Mankato, max
ing figure 8. This new extension
would begin at the corner OF Main
and Fifth streets, run north along
Fifth and finally come back to North
Front about Vine street.
Mr.. Propst was very enthusiastic
about the situation here and he stat
ed that the company would soon be
placed on profitable financial basis
and would naturally help to make
further improvements. He said that
if the demand was big enough for
more extension work and the COM
pany would be assured that such ex-
tension would be patronized sufficient
ly the company could easily raise
enough money to make such I'M
povements. The question now was,
whether or not such permanent I'M
movements were demanded. MT.
Propst is considered one of the ablest
of railroad men, and knows WHEREOF
he speaks.
