There Is every Judication -that the reo
ord made tor Oregon of 27,000 colonists
during the months of March, April, Sep
tember and October. 1907, will be in
creased during lt"08 in spite of the slight
advance in the cost of transportation.
This 27,000 sold-tickets does not Include
those that read by way of the Canadian
Pacific, Northern Pacific and Great
Northern around by Sound points to des
tinations in the different parts of Ore
gon, and It is no exaggeration to esti
mate that 5000 more came that way,
making a total of 82,000 people who came
to this state during the past year on one
A way tickets, and as all these would have
w to pay full fare to return, added to the
fact that they caaie here to stay, It Is
reasonable to suppose that the majority
of them are now citizens Qf Oregon, or
at least that is the concensus of opinion
expressed by many of the newspapermen
in attendance upon the Oregon Press As
sociation. When it is understood that this means
227 people a day for each of the 120 days,
not counting the 6000 estimated as coming
by way of Sound points. It Is not difficult
to appreciate the urgent necessity of all
the people of this state making it a per
sonal matter to write to their friends In
thu older states to coma to Oregon when
they can buy tickets from Kansas City,
Omaha, St. Paul, .Winnipeg and Duluth,
as well as all the country surrounding
Uicse cities, for 10 to'all rail points In the
slate of Oregon, and for $2.50 less If their
destination is Umatilla br east of that
point.
Advantages From Colonist Kates.
V. M. Barry, editor of the Dayton Op
timist, in discussing the advantages de-
rived by his community from the colonist
rates during the past year, said:
"The Dayton Board of Trade is one of
the 70 odd bodies composing the Oregon
Envelopment League, to which were
transmitted the inquiries that came to
- tho Portland office of the league relative
to farming opportunities In Oregon. We
answered, as many of these inquiries by
personal letter as our limited means
would allow, and as a result quite a num
ber of the colonists bought land and
other property in and around Dayton."
President B. W. Johnson, of the Benton
County Citizens' League, is an enthusiast
on the subject of colonist rates, and It is
his estimate that several hundred thou
sand dollars' worth of Benton County
lauds was sold to persons who took ad
vantage of this rate and are now citizens
of Ills county.
"We believe," said Mr. Johnson, 'that
advertising during January, February and
3Iarch, sent to farmers in the Middle
. West, and particularly in that magnifi
cent belt where they raise good crops,
but have to suffer a most severe Winter,
jtcts the best results, for they are housed
in and have a great deal of time to read
nml thoroughly digest the (advantages
afforded them by, any all-the-y ear-round
mild climate such as Oregon has.
rtosulLs From Publicity Work.
"During 1907, as I understand It, some
thing over 5,000,000 pieces of printed mat
ter advertising Oregon and paying par
ticular attention to the colonist rate, was
circulated all over the United States.
The business men of Portland scattered
broadcast the leaflets Issued by the Port
land Commercial Club in fact, I under
stand that 400,000 of these were used In
fix weeks, and as these rates were adver
tised as good for Portland and other Ore
ton points, it resulted in a very fair dis
tribution to all parts of Oregon, but of
course those places which were the most
persistent in presenting their claims got
tlin bulk of the travel.
"The pupils at the Oregon Agricultural
College, as well as those in attendance
upon the schools ot Corvallls, were In
terested, and I am informed that this
practice lias been followed all over the
slate."
I.. H. Ward, editor of the lone Pro
claimed For the last year, and longer
than that, for that matter, we have been
riintlng a weekly letter rrom Portland,
which lias presented the colonist rates in
every possible shape and form. The lone
Development League has done some good
advertising work, and we have secured a
sood many new citizens as a result of the
colonist rate.

Delegation to Coast Convention at
Oakland Will Carry Leaflets

The Invasion next week of Califor
nia, the home of the fiesta Idea, by
the Admen of the Pacific Northwest,
laden with thousands of leaflets ad--rert,lsing
the Portland Rose Festival,
will mark the beginning- of the pro
Kressive compaign of exploitation
which the Festival Association has
undertaken. The score or more of
delegates who left for the Oakland
convention last night were carefully
tutored in the plans of the association,
and Portland will have enthusiastic
boosters, not only in the delegates
liaiiing from this city, but in those
who Joined tlie party which left here
last night, and coming from a dozen
or more towns of the Pacific North
west. President R. M. Hall, of the Pacific
Coast Advertising Men's Association.
gave unqual ified assurance that this
organization would hold its next con
vention in Portland during: the Fes
tival, and arrangements have been
made by him to have at least two
of the speakers before the conven
tion outline the broad scope of the
celebration which Is to take place here
next June.
The East Side businessmen have as
sured the Festival Association that
they will do their utmost to raise a
fund for the brilliant illumination of
several blocks on Grand avenue -during-
the Festival in return for the
routing of one of the leading parades
of the Festival through the East Side
business district. This arrangement
has been considered for some time
and it will devolve upon the business
Interests of the East Side to deter
mine on just how imposing a scale
they desire to make this particular
function of the Festival.
Either Joaquin Miller or Bert Hoff
man, both sons of Oregon, will be
asked to compose an ode to the Fes
tival of such a character that It may
be set to music and sung by the boys
and girls in the mammoth school
children's parade, which will be an ac
companiment to the official welcome
of Queen Flora.
Invitation will also be extended to
Luther Burbank and Paul de Longpre,
each of whom has done much in the
floral realm. They will be urged to
be present during the Festival and to
participate In such functions as may
be fitting. Joaquin Miller, it Is hoped,
may be Induced to appear In one of
the street pageants.
J. W. Harper, the master float build
er from St. Louis, who is now in the
city, will be ready .to begin the actual
work of designing: the floats which
will appear In the two leading floral
and Illuminated parades. Arrange
ments have been perfected whereby he
and his staff of assistants will be
given the free use of one of the build
ings at the Lewis and Clark Fair
grounds for a workshop. Mr. Harper
has scores of typical historical and
allegorical designs with him, such as
he has prepared at various centen
nial, anniversary and other celebra
tions which he has put on in Eastern
cities, 'and from this list the executive
committee of the Festival Association
will soon select the floral and electri
cal pieces which will have place in the
main parades of the Festival.
MAY LOSE THEIR LICENSES
THIRTEEN SALOONKEEPERS TO
BE GIVEN HEARING.
Hochfeldt May Be Immune From
Penalty, as License Was Illegally
Granted by the Council.
When the case of B. A. Hochfeldt,
proprietor of a saloon at First and
Main streets, comes up before the
liquor license committee of the Coun
cil tomorrow afternoon on a charge of
selling liquor to a minor, harboring a
burglar and receiving stolen goods, the
committee will find a peculiar situation
confronting It The law plainly says
that, where a saloonkeeper has been
convicted of selling liquor to a minor,
hie license shall not be renewed, yet
the committee and the Council renewed
Hochfeldt's license, and, therefore,
violated the law. This is the state
ment of Dr. W. I. Cottel, chairman of
the committee. He holds that inasmuch
as the license was renewed, the offense
for which Hochfeldt was fined In the
Municipal Court was abrogated and be
lieves the committee cannot now re
voke the license it granted illegally.
This will form one of the most Inter
esting points when the case comes up
for hearing, with 12 others, at 2 P. M.
Monday.
Hochfeldt is accused by Captain of
Detectives Bruin of purchasing some
stolen handkerchiefs from a young
man, whose name Hochfeldt refused to
divulge. The police later, however,
found the minor, who swore he sold the
stolen goods to Hochfeldt, the latter
knowing them to be stolen property.
The minor also testified that he drank
liquor in Hochfeldt's saloon, and for
this offense Hochfeldt was fined by
Municipal Judge Cameron. This oc
curred 18 months ago, and the Council
violated a plain section of the law
when It renewed Hochfeldt's license,
says Dr. Cottel.
In the case of the proprietor of the
City Hall Buffet, Fifth street, a saloon
in which It is charged a young girl
became intoxicated, Dr. Cottel said
yesterday that the matter will prob
ably rest, as far as the liquor license
committee is concerned, until dispo
sition is made ot the case In the Muni
cipal Court. If the proprietor is found
guilty, he will be cited to appear be
fore the committee to show cause why
his license should not be revoked, as
have 13 other saloonkeepers.
It Is expected that at the meeting
tomorrow afternoon, when the cases of
the 13 saloonkeepers are called for
hearing, there will be one of the
largest crowds present that ever gath
ered in the Council chambers. A large
delegation will probably be present
from the vicinity of Twenty-first and
Sherlock streets, where there is strong
opposition to the Conboy saloon. It was
largely because of an attempt to locate
a second saloon In that neighborhood
that the present citation of 13 saloon
keepers occurred. The father of a 16-year-old-grlrl
declared her ruin was
due to the influence of Conboy's drink
ing place, and the committee decided to
make a new rule, which provides that
every saloonkeeper who violates the
law or who conducts a disorderly place,
shall be cited to appear to show cause
why his license should not be revoked.
This is the first time in the city's his
tory that the liquor license committee
has taken full charge of complaints
against saloonkeepers. All of the ac
cused proprietors have engaged legal
counsel find are prepared to make
strenuous fights to retain their licenses,'
while it Is the determination of the
committee, as stated by Dr. Cottel, to
revoke the license of every saloon
against which the charges of the po
lice are sustained.
PLANS AUTO CAB SYSTEM
Edwin li. Thomas May Install Taxl
, meter Cars In Portland.
Edwin L. Thomas, of Buffalo, N. t.,
son of B. R. Thomas, the automobile
manufacturer, left for San Francisco last
night, after looking over the field here
with a view of" Installing an automobile
cab system on the taximeter plan.
While In Portland. Mr. Thomas talked
matters -over with Harry L. Keats.
Charles Wright, R. D. Inraan and other
Portland men. and it has practically been
decided to install a taximeter auto livery
starting with 25 cars some time during
the coming Summer. The taximeter plan
consists of equipping automobiles with
the taximeter, a device which registers
the distance traveled, the time the ma
chine has been in use, and the price the
customer has to pay. This method has
been adopted by other cities and Is said
to have proved highly successful. Under
the taximeter system theater parties can
be conveyed to their homes at half the
present charge for automobile hire, and
the same applies to business men delayed
at their offices or clubs until after car
time. A glance at the taximeter will also
prevent disputes between patrons and the
chauffeur over the amount due for the
use of the msoblno.

WORKING
FOR SUBTREASURY
Eastern Washington, Montana
and Idaho Assist Portland
Before Congress.
FULTON'S BILL SUPPORTED
Statistics Prove This to Be Financial
and Banking Center of Pacific
Northwest by Virtue of
Superior Location.
A strong effort that, promises to be
successful is being made to secure the
location of a United States subtreasury
In Portland. The delegation at Wash
ington has been flooded with memo
rials and letters on the subject and
work is now going on that it is be
lieved will result in the establishment
of a subtreasury here, Senator Fulton
having introduced a bill in the Senate
authorizing the step. -
Statistics that ftrily establish Port
land's right to the subtreasury have
been furnished the delegation, not
only by Portland and Oregon people,
but by. many other points In the Pa
cific Northwest. Montana and Idaho,
as well as Eastern Washington, favor
the location of the subtreasury here.
It is pointed out in the communica
tions sent to Oregon's representatives
in Congress that Portland is the
financial center of the Pacific North
west. This will be all the more 1 true
upon the completion of the North Bank
road. Every part of the Inland Em
pire country. Idaho and some parts of
Montana, will then ,be given direct
communication with- this city. The
business of this great territory will
all come to Portland.
City a Banking Center. "
Already . this city is the banking
center of the Pacific Northwest. Banks
in all the states of the Pacific North
west entrust the'r reserves to the local
banking Institutions. This has been
the custom throughout the 'North Pa
cific Coast states from pioneer days.
Portland Is the jobbing center of this
great territory and it is the most
convenient point for merchants of the
Interior to transact ' their business.
The commerce of the port In the
great staples produced throughout the
territory makes the establishment of
a subtreasury here a logical move. The
shipping point for their produce Is
naturally the banking place of the
producers. As Portland Is a gateway
through which all this 'traffic passes,
it must be the best location for the
biggest and strongest banks and
therefore the best location for the
subtreasury.
A. L. Mills, president of the First
National Bank; J. C. Ainsworth, presi
dent ot the United States National
Bank, and J. Frank Watson, president
of the Merchants National Bank, have
written to Tom Richardson, manager
for the Commercial Club, setting forth
the strongest arguments for the loca
tion of the subtreasury at Portland.
These letters go into facts and fig
ures In a thoroughly convincing way
and make It clear that this point is
the ' best place in the Pacific North
west for the placing of a big finan
cial branch by the Government.
Reserves Carried Here.
It Is said in these communications
that the payments to the Government
through depositories In these banks
amounts during the year to many mil
lions ot dollars and Is always on the
increase. Portland was the first re
serve city north of San Francisco, It
is shown, and all the cities of the
Paciflo Northwest carry reserve funds
with Portland banks, whereas Port
land Institutions have no reserves
whatever in banks of other North
western cities.
In the letter to Senators Fulton and
Bourne and Representatives Ellis and
Hawley it is set out that San Fran
cisco, 772 miles away, and Denver, dis
tant 1410 miles from Portland, are
the nearest subtreasury cities, while
there are big Government pay rolls to
be met in this vicinity every month.
Among these are river and harbor im
provements, Vaucouver Barracks, and
the three forts at the mouth of the
Columbia River. All Idaho and Mon
tana is nearer to Portland than to the
cities of Puget Sound.
Mr. Richardson and those members
of the Commercial Club who have been
most active in the movement, for a
subtreasury here are very hopeful that
their representations of the Impor
tance of such an institution here and
the many reasons for its location at
Portland will induce Congress to take
favorable action.
Groom Past 86; Bride
Slightly Younger
Rev. George Howell and Savana S.
Halt, of MoatHvilla, Get License
to Wed Atempt to Conceal Age
Falls.
COT and embarrassed, as became very
young people, but very happy, a
Montavllla couple brought up in front of
the marriage blotter in the County
Clerk's office yesterday forenoon.
"We are looking for a marriage li
cense," was the barely necessary expla
nation of the young man.
Deputy County Clerk Christensen at
tended to their needs. He started violent
ly when the groom gave his age at 25.
Noting the young man's agitation, the
groom leaned tar over and confided that
this was not his Teal age.
"To tell the truth, I'm Just a little past
S6," he confessed. "But I don't want
that to appear on the books, for them re
porters might get a-bold of it."
The groom then confided that he was
Rev. George Howell, of Montavllla, and
that he thought It was a good joke to
get married that way without anyone
knowing anything about it. He then
called the bride-elect, who quietly con
fided in the official that she was past 18,
whereupon he gave evidences of having
suffered-another shock. Rev. Mr. Howell
gallantly refrained from . stating the
bride's real age, but their ages are not
far apart in figures. Savana S. Holt was
the name of the bride-elect.
Mr. Christensen did not betray the con
fidence of the old couple. It so happened
that one of the ubiquitous army of news
paper reporters was standing right be
side the reverend gentleman when he
asked for the marriage license. And
since the news gatherer was not asked
to suppress the matter, he could hardly
be expected to do so.
Tomorrow (Monday), positively will be
the last day for discount on East Side
gas bills. Portland Gas Company.

STORY IS REVOLTING
Ethel Bacon Tells of Hideous
Orgy in Saloon.
VISITED THE PLACE OFTEN
Authorities Increase Bail of Propri
etor and Bartender of City Hall
Buffet, Where ''Young .Girl '
Was Debauched.
Revolting In the extreme are tlie alleged
details of. the treatment accorded Miss
Ethel Bacon In the City Hall buffet be
fore she was taken out into the street
and left- in the gutter in a drunken
stupor at an early hour Friday morning.
The caBe has been taken up by the Dis
trict Attorney's of lice and is being fully
Investigated.- The bond of C. M. O'Con
nerf the bartender said to have been
responsible for the girl's plight, was in
creased from $100 to six times that
amount yesterday. '- A. M. Hyatt, pro
prietor of the place, was likewise put
under arrest and required ' to furnish a
like amount of bail.
While friends of the accused men have
been very busy trying to suppress the
inquiry, the authorities have determined
to go to the bottom of the affair. " Plying
a young girl with liquor, debauching her
and then throwing her into the gutter is
an offense not to be lightly dealt with,
the authorities insist. District Attorney
Manning has placed the matter of prose
cuting the two men in the hands of
Deputy District Attorney Stevenson. He
has also detailed Detective Maher to
gather evidence.
Hyatt is held only as the proprietor of
the saloon on a charge of selling liquor
to a minor. . While the same charge
stands against O'Conner, the evidence
against him is said to be of a far more
Incriminating nature.
- The tack taken by the accused men in
the hope of saving their saloon license,
was that the whole affair was a "job,'"
"put up" by enemies for the purpose of
"putting them out of business." This as
sertion, however, appears barren, it is
said, in face of the fact that the authori
ties had great difficulty in getting Miss
Bacon to tell who gave her liquor. It
was only when Municipal Judge Cameron
threatened to send her to jail, Friday
morning, that she told what she knew. -
In a confession to representatives of
the District Attorney's office yesterday
morning tlie girl told of the occurrences
that preceded her discovery in the gutter
two blocks from the saloon. Incidentally
she said that she was first taken into the
place by her married sister, Mrs. East
man. This statement was made under
oath. For six months past she had been
in the habit of going in and meeting
O'Conner. He frequently gave her liquor
and introduced her to men who
frequented the saloon.
The girl also gave unprintable details
of a drunken reveL Recently she was
given so much liquor as to be unable .to
stand, she said. O'Conner and another
man then carried her to a room over,
the saloon, where she was made the butt
of coarse jests by fully a dozen saloon
loungers. Later she" was shamefully
maltreated by all these ruffians; she con
fessed. The contention of the accused men
doubtless will be that the Bacon girl la

have declared this to be the fact al
though the young woman does not look
more than 18. When sober enough to talk
after being picked up out the gutter, she
said she would soon be 19.
Councilman Vaughn has already under
taken an Investigation of the affair with
theMdea of having the liquor license held
by Hyatt revoked. That such a den could
be operated less than, 100 feet from the

COLFAX, Wash., Jan. 18. (Special.)
A full-gTOwn cougar attacked Sam Crum
baker at the Lewis Cockran ranch, six
miles northeast of Colfax, today. Mrs.
Cockran and six children were in the
barnyard this afternoon and saw the cou

Fearing to wound the animal with his
small rifle, Crumbaker ran for the barn
to avoid the ferocious beast. The cougar
soon took to the hills. .
