THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1908. SCOPE OF Commercial Club Will Increase Its Fund for Advertising Oregon in the East. ALL INTERESTS TO HELP Executive Committee Frames Circu lar Letter Setting Forth Plans and Calling for Subscriptions. Tells Success ot Past Work. Publicity work by the Portland Com mercial Club during the past year in ad vertising the State of Oregon and the City of Portland was so systematically and intelligently done that the executive, committee, at its meeting held yesterday afternoon, decided not only to continue the plans now In operation, but greatly to enlarge the scope of the work. In order to provide the necessary funds to carry out the elaborate scheme of pro motion outlined by Manager Richardson, the committee authorized the issuance of a circular letter to be addressed to the financial, manufacturing, mercantile and shipping interests of the city, m which the purposes of the plan should be given, a summary of the work already done and a request made for additional financial support. The members of the committee, who are among the leading business men of the Coast, expressed entire satisfaction with the manner in which the work had been carried on, and are heartily In favor of Increasing the amount raised last year for publicity and colonization efforts. Mr. Richardson said last night that all the business men talked to on the subject willingly agreed to stay on the list of monthly subscribers and .that a large number either doubled or materially in creased the amount of their subscriptions. At the meeting of the committee, held at the offices of Theodore B. Wilcox, all the members were present with the ex ception of I. N. Fleischner, who was ab sent from the city. The following were present: Theodore B. Wilcox. William M. I.add, A. U Mills, Robert IJvlngstone, T. D. Honeyman, J. C. Alnsworth, J. Frank Watson and Walter F. Burrell. Funds All Spent on Promotion Work A report was received from William K. McKenzie, expert accountant, in which he certified to having checked the ac counts of the promotion fund handled by the executive committee of the club, and reported them correct, with the fol lowing notation: It may be worthy of note at this time to state that no expenditures nave been made except for actual promotion work, and that no salaries or expenses have been paid to any member of the committee with the exception of the manager. All bills for disbursements are approved by the chairman before being paid. Mr. Wilcox reported that he had ad vised Governor Chamberlain that the 15000 prize contest of the club had termi nated on December 31. 1907, and requested the Governor to name the three Judges to determine the awarding of the 80 prizes, these appointments to be made absolutely without conference with, any club official or member. It Is not known exactly how many ar tlcleg have been filed in this contest, for the reason that during the past month the submitted articles have been deposit' ed each week in a safety deposit vault without keeping a record of the number. It was also decided that the committee would submit no publications containing articles that carried a date later than December 31, although' Beveral are now at the Commercial Club, printed in news papers Issued since the first of the year. Sending Out New Tear's Oregon lans In addition to the advertising litera ture referred to in the committee's cir cular letter, the office force Is busily engaged in sending out 100,000 copies of the New Year number of The Ore fronian, which contains many pages de voted to the farm and orchard prod ucts of the state. These papors are distributed also to the 74 commercial bodies of the league, which clubs send them to their correspondents upon in quiry. ' The club has arranged a contract with Mrs. Frances K. Headlee, in charge of the Information Bureau of the North Pacific, at Los Angeles, to represent this state. The contract calls for the display and distribution of lit erature regarding Oregon in railroad and steamship lines, offices and other public places, and for a dally illustrat ed lecture In the Chamber of Commerce where the audiences are largely busi ness men and tourists from the East and South. About four months ago the executive committee voted an Increase of salary to Tom Richardson, manager, from $6000 to J7500 a year, to go into effect January 1 of this year. At the meeting of the executive committee yesterday, Mr. Richardson told the committee that he Intended to pay into the advertising fund this year 3125 a month, the amount of the Increase. Several mem bers of the committee advised against this action by Mr. Richardson, but he adhered to his determination, saying all his Interests are now centered In Portland and Oregon, and he desired to do his personal share toward upbuild ing the state. The circular letter of the executive committee reads: Circular Letter of Committee. PORTLAND. Or., Jan. 22. 190S. The executive committee of the Portland Commercial Club was organized in May. 1!4. and has had full charge of the fund whtrh has been expended in advertising the resources of Oregon, aud in handling rthe correspondence resulting therefrom. The committee -has devoted Its principal attention to the development of the natural resources of the State and to the bringing In of desirable population. It has co-operated with the Oregon Development League, composed of the commercial bodies, of seventy-seven wide-awake Oregon communities, which well represent all portions of the. State There will he no cessation In this com mittees work, but In connection with the Oregon Development League and with all I'ortions of the Northwest, we feel that the time hn arrived when this city should have a well-equipped press bureau, and that a character of high-grade, artistic advertis ing, showing the special attractions of Port land and Oregon be circulated, not only threunh the I'nlted States, but In other countries. High-class. Illustrated advertising Is ex pend e. its distribution also costs money, but that It pays has been' proved by many communities The future of this city is as sured, but through the activity of the people It can be made to grow as much In ten years as It ordinarily would In twenty years, and there is no good reason why there should be any let-up In the development of Portland as the result of Wall street panics. Presidential year, or for any otber cauy. for there has never been a time In tha his tory of the Pacific Northwest when the ae tlvttles of th lumber Interests and the WDEN ROM MM PHYSICIANS DISCUS Cooper's Views of Human , Stomach Noted by Medical Men. A recent article In the New Orleans Item gives an account of tbe effect upon the medical profession of that city wiih regard to L. T. Cooper's theory that the human stomach Is re sponsible for most 111 health. The arti cle is as follows: "The astonishing- sale of Cooper's preparation In this city has now reached, such immense figures that the medical fraternity have been forced Into open discussion of the man's theories and medicines. "The physicians seem to be divided with regard to the young man's suc cess In New Orleans some being will ing to credit him for what he has ac complished, while others assert that the interest he has aroused is but a passing fad that will die out as quick ly as It has sprung up. "In a statement recently obtained from a well-known physician of this city, the position of those In favor of Cooper Is well voiced. The doctor said: 1 am not a believer In proprietary medicines, but I must admit that some proceeds of the crops of the farmer, the fruitgrower and tbe dairyman will afford as much money In the entire Northwest as will come here during 1908. Visitors Always Increasing. For several months past the hotels have been crowded. The number of people visiting- the Pacific Northwest is constantly upon the Increase. Portland Is each year adding many thousands to her population, and Ore gon la rapidly becoming known as having the best Summer climate in the United States. ; The railroads reported 27.213 people arriv ing in March and April, September and Oc tober, 1907, or 227 people a day for this period of four months, as a result of the colonist rates, and by reading the daily papers we are familiar with this remark able one-way travel, a great majority of it remaining as permanent residents. This travel will begin again March 1 of this year. The committee desires to asknowledge the obligation due the newspapers of Portland and Oregon for helping along this work, for without such hearty co-operation as we have received on every hand, little good would have resulted. We send all the papers of Washington and Oregon a weekly letter, and the clippings that xve have received from this source during the last year' fill more than a thousand pages 10x14 Inches, and as a matter of fact, do not get one-half of the matter that Is printed. The business men and people of Port land circulated 75O.000 leaflets In their cor respondence last year ,to every portion of the United States, as well as other coun tries. Every one carried special emphasis on the colonist rate, and the half million that will be used In the Spring campaign of the present year are now being prepared and will soon be calling attention to the low rates prevailing between March 1 and April 30. The press bureau work of the club Is al ready quite extensive, as articles are being supplied to numerous publications, while stories of news value, giving facts of im portance, have been published in hundreds of papers, and this has been particularly true of the country papers In the older states. Our advertising in agricultural pa pers and the weekly editions of the large city papers has met with remarkable suc cess, and 17.000 Inquiries coming through this source have been supplied to all the 77 organisations now composing the Oregon Development League. When one understands that more than one-half of these commer cial bodies are replying to these inquiries. It shows an extraordinary circulation of Oregon literature. As a "direct result of the work of the Oregon Development League, over $100. 000 has been raised by commercial bodies throughout the State to be expended In advertising, and some of the communities are spending a very much larger sum pro portionately than Is Portland. Astoria Is carrying on an especially active campaign, and Coos Bay and its active towns are doing their part. The same is true with Ash land, Medford and Grants Pass In Southern Oregon. Eugene. Salem. Hood River. Cor vallls. Baker City. The Dalles and many of the smaller places. Carry on Work on Larger Scale. The great activity of the past year In real estate, the unprecedented amount of new building In every city and town, the metropolitan crowds of people on the streets of Portland, the scarcity of houses not wlthtsandlng the creat number built last year, the better sidewalks and streets, and the general prosperity of the Northwest, have all been contributed to largely by the work of the Commercial Club and Oregon Development League, and we want to keep all of this work going, and to carry it on on a mdeh larger scale than formerly. We have arranged to retain our resent man ager, Tom Richardson, for the year 1908, with W. L. Crlssey as assistant. The committee's fund was supported for the first year by 30 subscribers; the next year a few more came in; now there are lltt names on the subscription list, which Is a very small portion of our community directly beneflted by the committee's work. After going over the work thoroughly in all Its details, the members of the committee are unanimously of the opinion that Port land. Or., and the Pacific Northwest have received far greater benefit than many times the expenditure, and we should have not less than 500 subscribers In order to pro vide funds for contemplated increase in work. The committee asks the co-opratlon of the financial, commercial, industrial, and property-owning interests of the city. We want to advertise Portland more exten sively than heretofore, and we want to keep up the good work in the development of Oresron and the Pacific Northwest. During the next few days we intend to ask. for additional monthly subscriptions, and we expect a liberal response. THEO. B. WILCOX. Chairman. A. L. MILLS. W. M. LADD. WALTER F. BURRELL. .1. C.

Application tor a franchise to operate in Portland was made at yesterday's ses sion of the City Council by the St. John Gas Light & Heattnp Company. The ap plication was referred to the streets committee. It will be considered there in the usual routine, and the committee will then report to the Council. The company sets forth in its petition that it will have a plant sufficient to give good service to a large district, and that It will Increase its output and fur nish gas to both St. John and Portland, If the franchise Is granted. It offers to put up a good bond to secure the city and to complete 3200.000 worth of work within the corporate limits within six months after the franchise becomes ef fective. It la proposed to furnish first class ...umlnating gas at 90 cents per 1000 cubic feet. ONLY THREEDAYS' MORE Saturday' ends the administrator's sale. See today's ads for extra special bargains.

NEW THEORY of the facts recently brought to my attention concerning this Cooper medi cine have gone far toward removing the prejudice I had formed against them when I first heard of Cooper's new ideas and medicines. "'Numbers of my patients whom I have treated for chronic liver, kidney and stomach troubles have met me and stated that Cooper's medicine has ac complished wonderful results for them. I notice particularly in cases of stom ach trouble that the. man has relieved several cases that were of years' standing and proved very obstinate to treatment "I do not wish to stand In the way of something that may be for the pub lic good, simply through professional prejudice, -and I am Inclined to give Cooper and his preparations credit as deserving to some extent the popular demonstration that has been accorded them in this city.' We sell the Cooper medicines. They are proving remarkably successful throughout the entire United States. The Skldmore Drug Co. , LOXE STREETACK EMPIOITE SAYS HE WORE MASK. Arthur Swanson Accused of Trying to Board Car, But Protests His Innocence. Arthur Swanson, 24 years old, was ar rested this morning after 1 o'clock for what is believed toy Fred Loy, night fore man of the car -house of the Portland Railway Company, to have been an at tempt to hold up a streetcar at Union avenue and Going,- street. Loy was in charge of the last car on the Alberta line, the rew .-having gone home, and alone he was running it into the barn for the night. At Going street Loy asserts that Swan son ran out from the sidewalk and with a black mask covering his face attempt ed -to board the car. Loy ran the car at full speed and the man was struck and knocked down. Two blocks further down Union avenue Loy reported the facts to Policeman H. Adams, who re turned with him In the car to where the man lay. Loy was positive that Swan son had worn a mask and believed that his effort to get on the car was nothing more nor less than an attempt to hold him up. Swanson, however, when examined, had no weapon, and no mask about his person. He stoutly denied the charge and said that' he had been drinking- a little more than he should and did not notice that the car was not for pas sengers or that it was going- in the op posite direction from that in which he lived. Loy demanded that the man be locked up and took him and the police man in the car to the police station. Here Swanson said that he lived-at Sec ond and Couch streets, that he was a steamboat employe and that Loy must have been badly frightened to Imagine that he had worn a mask or was a holdup man. Swanson had $64.15 on his person. PLAN PUBLIC WORKHOUSE Council Will Investigate Prisoners' Aid Society Scheme. A public workhouse project, a reform measure brought forward and strongly advocated by the Prisoners' Aid Society, will receive attention by the City Coun cil now, a resolution having been passed by that body at its session yesterday afternoon, authorizing Mayor Lane to name a committee of three to confer with the County Court. The committee will be named soon, after which action will be taken. It Is the desire of the Prisoners' Aid Society to secure the establishment of a workhouse as a means of solving the difficult problems Involved in handling the criminal element. That this la a better means to the desired end than an Increased number of jails is the convic tion of those who have made the matter a subject of much investigation. When the City Council took up the matter of? a proposed city and county jail the officials of the aid society be came Interested to the extent that they sent in a communication to the Council, asking that something be done looking toward the establishment of a public workhouse. As a direct result, the. com mittee of three has been authorized. HUGHES' RECEPTION FIXED Republican CInb Fixes January 31, as Suggested. NEW- YORK, Jan. 22.
