Mrs. McKlttrlck and Miss Effielee
Elliott, representing the Portland
Commons are In the city today work
ing in behalf of the Louise Rescue
Home for young girls.
Every year hundreds of young girts
go to the city, expecting to find em
p'oyment there, but often stray to the
primrose path. The Louise Rescue
Home, is being established in order to
take care of these unfortunate girls
and It is receiving the hearty support
of everyone. The Portland press is
enthusiastic In its support of the In
stitution. "We are meeting with much
success in our work everywhere," said
Mrs. McKlttrlck today In commenting
on the purposes of the institution and
how it Is supported. "The primary
puirpose of the Commons Is a com
mendable one and while little is being
said of It, it daily fulfills its mission,"
she continued.
Quite likely the very best advice to give any
one residing in either Union or Wiillowfi counties
is, he loyal to your home community. .. This alone :

SENT OUT BY FRISCO BOOSTERS
Washington, Jan. 30 At the hear-
ing today before the Serai? commit
tee, Governor Sanders of Louisiana
attacked the claims of San Francisco
for the Panama fair, and said both
of the resolutions presented by the
cities to tha government, made $he
government equally responsible to
nations of whom It would Invited to
make exhibts. Under the San Fran
cisco resolution he said thei govern
ment is without power whrie the New
Orleans resolution gave them pow
er of supervision.
He pointed out that San Francisco
wants other nations to exhibit but
does not make provisions for the gov
ernment hera making an exhibit which
throws an embarassing cloud on the
United States.
(By R. B. Hale)
Washington, Jan. 30 San Francis
co, In Its fight for the exposition is re
lying entirely on facts. It Is making
no .appeal to sentiment, nor is It draw
ing political or party lines. The cam
paign for recognition by congress had
become a personal one and day by day
the facts In the case are being pre
sented to those members who have
open minds and who are ready and
willing "to decide on tha actual evi
dence. The factors in the case, are
many. San Francisco expects recogni
tion for several reasons.. It' has the
money and the energy with which to
make a success of the exposition an
exposition which will reflect not only
tbe pride- of the Pacific coast In one
of the world's greatest achievements,
but the pride of the whole people of
the United States.
The campaign has been carried on
by the San Francisco delegation on an
extremely high plane. Everything has
been open and above board. There has
been no trickery attempted, and no
votes sought, except on the ground
that San 'Francisco from -every point
of view, and for every reason, Is the
logical place to celebrate the opening
of the Panama canal.
Fact after fact ha3 be;,n presented
clearly and tersely, and little by lit
tle the significance of 'the situation
has appealed to even the members who
had expressed their indifference early
in the fight.
From a business point of view there
is no gainsaying the statements and
assertions of the promoters of San
Francisco's interests. Congressmen
have been asked merely to consider
the proposition from a business point
of view, but every congressman has
also been Impressed with the fact
that the man or woman who went to
