BRINGING SETTLERS
TO OREGON IS AIM

tNote-The following report by sec
retary Quayle was adopted by the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Oregon State
Chamber of Commerce in meeting on
March 25th. The plan as outlined Is
the result of careful investigation or
the situation in the middle western
states, and is based upon the known
fact that large western movement Of
the rural population is contemplated
this summer,)
Agricultural development and land
settlement are the principal planks in
the platform of the State Chamber of
Commerce. How to advertise our state
and interest the prospective settlers;
how to sell to him the agricultural pos
sibilities Of our state are the problems
upon which this organization has been
working consistently and untiringly.
That the time has arrived when this
states should bend every effort toward
fostering rural immigration is evidenc-
ed by few figures from the census re-
port for 1920 These figures show that
the average density of population
throughout the United States was 35.5
persons per square mile Of land area.
California has 22 per square mile.
Washington 20.3, while oregon has only
S,2S. The rural population in OMgon
in 1920 was 329,370, while the rural pop
ulation Of the neighborlng state Of Ida
no at the last census was 312.S29. The
gain in Idaho for the past ten years was
twice as great an for oregon, In other
words. the state OF Oregon which Is
second to none in agricultural possibil-
tiles is actually losing ground In rural
immigration, compared to adjoining
