Campaign to Link UmatiIIa

ber of Commerce Official.
CIVIC H0GGlSHNESS- MUST
BE LAID ASIDE HE SAYS
r. S. BramWeII Helped in Or
ganizing Effort to Bring To-
uether Southern Oregon
Towns After Fight 10 Years.

A close bond of friendship between
all the towns of uInatilla county is the
aim of F. S. Bramwell. vice president
of the Oregon State Chamber of Com
merce. who was in Pendleton today to
arrange for a campaign starting next
Monday. Mr.. Rramwell, who is from
Grants Pass. has been a big factor in
bringing together Grants Pass, Med
ford and Ashland for the common ad-
vancement of southern Oregon and
hopes TO get similar results for Pen
dleton and the eight chief towns of
the county.
Civic hoggishness is the trait which
Mr.. Bramwell says must be laid aside
in most communities and district con-
siderations substituted The large
town is looked upon as selfish by the
smaller towns around it while the
element of jealousy is thought by the
larger town to be working overtime in
the small towns. 1t is the mission of
Mr.. Bramwell to show both large and
small communities with such common
ties as county, district or state that
their opinions are largely based on
thin air and that cooperation will
bring mutual benefits.
Mr.. Bramwell left today for Port
land to keep an engagement tomor-
row in Clackamas county. He will re
turn Monday morning and will meet
with the board of managers of the
Commercial Association Monday to
outline plans for bringing together the
farmers and business organizations of
all the principal towns of Umatilla
county.
After Grants Pass. Medford and
Ashland had fought each other for II
years, we made an effort to bring
them together for the common good
offthe southern oregon country" Mr.
Bramwell told today. They said il
could not be done. After a little, or
ganized effort. however we managed
to get BANQUET at Grants Pass which
was attended by $40 from the three
communities. Now the three cities
nre working hand in hand for the dis.
trict and all are sharing equally of the
| benefits, 1t worked in southern Ore
