Sunday Oregonian The impor-
tance of a suitable permanent exhibit
at Ashland to call attention of tour
lists to Oregon's resources is regarded
as almost equal in Importance to the
showing this state shall make at the
PanamaP Pacific Exposition in San
Francisco, in the opinion of o. NJ.
Clark, chairman of the Panama-Pa-
cific commission of Oregon, who also
will head the delegation from Port
land to the Roseburg Development
Convention, Thursday, December 4.
One of the principal subjects that
will be discussed at this convention
will be the plan for establishing such
an exhibit at Ashland. Delegations
from all parts of Oregon will be
present at the convention, which is
the third of series of development
meetings which are being held under
the auspices of the commercial or
ganizations of the state, headed by
the Portland Commercial Club.
I'VE will have a building at San
Francisco" said Mr.. Clark, discuss
ing plans for Oregon's exhibit,
which will tell first of Oregon's tre-
mendous timber wealth. 1t is to be
arranged for the comfortable enter
tainment of visitors from all parts
of the world, and a pleasant home
for Oregon visitors to the exposition.
Ashland Exhibit to Aid.
Meetings like the convention held
at Medford, Grants Pass, Roseburg
Albany and other places do a great
deal of good in interesting people to-
ward helping the commissioners
make an exhibit at San Francisco
and feel that a comprehensive show.
ing at Ashland will add greatly tc
the results achieved by the exhibit
at San Francisco. In fact, those in
charge at Ashland can give cards Of
introduction to those who will be in
! command at the Oregon building
and in charge of the Oregon exhibits
throughout the various show palaces
of the San Francisco exposition. The
same will be true relative to those al
San Francisco-they can insure q
large attendance of people at Ashland
who are already interested, and these
two showings will certainly convince
"The prime necessity, however, OF
all Of this work is that each county
and every community in Oregon must
have thoroughly comprehensive ex.
hibit at San Francisco. The strong
impression made at San Francisco
will prepart our visitors to Oregon
when they arrive at our front door
at Ashland, to expect to see all that
is good in Oregon.
Meetings Unite People"
Meetings like the one to be held
at Roseburg December bring our
people closer together, and as there
will be present at that time repre-
sentative business men from all
points between Portland and Ashland,
it is worth while that Portland
should have a thoroughly represent
atiVa doleqation of har 1aodinu oiti-
zens there"
Whenever the business men of
Portland get together for a trip to
any part of the Portland trade terri
tory it always results in lot of
good, but to be a member of the
Portland delegation to a meeting
which is for the purpose of the de-
velopment of the state like the one
at Roseburg, Thursday, December 4,
Is q sDecial Measure" said laul De-
