JOHN H. FULLER
ATTENDS STATE
c. OF. c. MEET.

Secretary John H. Fuller, of the
Chamber OF Commerce left last
night for Portland to attend a meeI-
ing OF the State Chamber which will
consider the matter OF eolonl2ihg
eastern farmers in Oregofi
Incidentally he took with him ]
skecth OF very fine monument pro-
posed by Frank Jordan TO be erect
ed at the state line to mark the
boundary line between Oregon and
California. The sketch was designed
by Architect W. T. s. Hoyt, of Ash
land The proposed monument will
stand forty feet high shaft on
each side of the highway-wlth an
Ashland granite base some two feet
thick on top OF which will be red
wood block about l2 #. around and
five feet high. Above that will stand
a large fir log, perpendicular ana
ON top OF that large round ball cur
from Oregon pine. The marker will
be an attractive one and will splen-
didly tipify Oregon natural pro-
duets.
II is hoped to interest the State
Chamber in the erection OF the shaft.
1t would be reasonable for them to
do so as it is intended to make the
boundary between these sister states
and should be q matter of state
pride. II Is believed that most OF
the material used in the construe-
tions should be donated by those
who desire to advertise their mills
and quarries by a tablet on each
side of the specific materials used In
the structure.
