.OREGOV'S S SCENIC
BEAUTIES LAUDED
Brotherhood Holds Regular Meeting
Monday Evening and Many Argu-
ments for Advertising Oregon Ad.
vanced.

That Oregon should advertise her
scenic beauties and thereby bring
into the state many new and desirable
settlers, was the conclusion reached
at the Brotherhood meeting Monday
evening. In the absence of the sched-
uled leaders in the discussion Chair
man Waters called upon many of the
men present and variety of ideas
were expressed as to how the adver-
tising should be done, and what re-
suits could be looked for.
C. C. Calkins handled the subject
from the angle of the 1925, or 1927
fair in Portland, the substance of his
remarks being that the fair, because
OF its immense expense and the doubt
full results to be obtained, is form
of advertising that should be dis
couraged. S. E. Notson dwelt upon
some of 0regon's scenic wonders and
said that the folks here had become
SO used to them that they failed to
appreciate them properly. He advanc-
ed the theory that Oregon people
themselves should become more fam
iliar with and more appreciative of
our beauty spots and thereby be en-
abled to boost them more thoroughly
and intelligently.
That the fine roads and other at
fractions of the state are more for
Oregon people than for the fast NOV
ing tourist, was expressed by Pro. E.
H. Hedrick, who said he seriously
doubted if the tourist left enough be-
hind him to more than pay for the
wear and tear of the roads over
which he travelled. This speaker be-
lieved, however, that our scenery
should be advertised providing it can
be done at no great cost, Somewhat
opposed to this idea was that advanc-
ed by Roy Pickens. who maintained
that advertising the state was and
should be made a paying matter and
that II properly done would mean
wonderful returns to the state.
Talks were made by Harvey Launtz,
S. A. Pattison, Rev. J. R. L, Haslam,
Spencer Crawford and Gay M. Ander-
son, all along the line of favoring
the exploitation of our attractions,
and each incidentally putting in an
objection to the big Portland fair.
But to keep the meeting from being
monotonous in its expression. Charles
Thomson spoke quite spiritedly in
favor of the fair, saying that it
would prove winner and would more
than justify its cost. He maintained
that while people Of the world might
be hard UP, they all have money with
which to have good time, and would
be in Portland in throngs, and it was
his contention that great part Of
those throngs would be induced to
not only travel over the state, but a
large part of them would remain with
US and make this their permanent
home.
Very pleasant features of the pro-
gram were the songs by Mrs. C. Dar-
bee and the readings by Miss Osea
Gray, which were highly appreciated.
A vote of thanks was extended them,
and also to the hotel management for
the splendid luncheon which was pre-
pared.
The next meeting of the Brother
hood will be held on November 13,
and strong membership campaign
will be put over in order to increase
the attendance at least 100 per cent
For this purpose committee con-
sisting of C. C. Calkins, P. NJ. Gem
mel and Frank Turner was appointed.
