SOUTHERN OREGON DEVELOP
MENT LEAGUE.

MENT LEAGUE.
Tomorrow's meeting OF the South
ern oregon Development League will
give Grants Pass an opportunity to
prove her boasted hospitality and
place her name in the very lead Of
progressive western cities. This city
was fortunate in being named the
seat Of this important convention, and
she will show that no mistake was
made in staging the meeting at this
point. Primarily the meet is held to
arrange for the exploiting OF oregon's
resources, and to make the visitors to
the Panama-Pacific exposition in 1915
acquainted with the possibilities OF
the state. AS the Rogue valley is the
gateway between California and Ore
gon, the movement starts from right
In this locality II is proposed that
display OF Oregon products. and =
showing OF Oregon resources, be made
at Ashland during the exposition year,
and the next legislature will be asked
to make an appropriation to aid in
the work. But while this is a definite
object OF the league, the possibilities
OF the organization are much more
comprehensive, and when the plans
are unfolded at the meeting Thursday
the great scope OF the work will be
seen. II will become more than a
localized institution, and will embrace
a state within It's field OF operations.
