II. v Chase, who is head of the Town

prominently in the recent merging of
the various commercial organizations of
Portland into one chamber Of commerce,
was the principal speaker at the dinner
at the Marion hotel last night at which
about twenty representative business
and professional men of the Capital
City were present to discuss the con.
solidation of Salem s business interests
into one efficient body. The dinner
was informal, Those present were
heartily in accord with the merging
plan and authorized further investiga-
tion into the matter
The meeting resulted in the board of
governors of the commercial club being
instructed to look into the proposed
merging plan, and also to investigate
into the possibility of employing Mr..
Chase in perfecting the organization.
They are to report their findings to the
entire commercial club at a meeting to
be called sometime in the future.
Personal Service Needed.
Personal service" declared Mr..
Chase, I" is what is needed more than
anything else in building up city.
Three things are also necessary-men,
money, and motives. Money is one Of
the neccessaries but city with the
right men behind it running it in the
right way is sure to go ahead.

it needed plainly discussed.
If it is decided to secure the aid o.
Mr.. Chase in perfecting the amalgama
