Portland, Ore., Tuesday, April 2rt,
(Special (The Oregon State Auto
mobile Aamxliitlou and the Portland
Automobile Club are doing a (treat
work for good road. II. II. Uleuu,
In charge of the "Pathfinder Car,"
(owned Jointly by the state associa
tion and the city club) In company
with Engineer K. Frank. Is going to
make a tour of all the principal roads
In eastern Oregon. These gentlemen
will 1 In The lalles on Tuesday and
will map out their trip from there
with the idea of compiling an accu
rate road map. Sellable road Infor
mation In this state Is very scarce,
and with a good map available
tourists' automobiles from all parts
of the I'nlted States w ill be almost
as plentiful on the country roads as
In the towns nnd cities todajr. This
new map will show distance between
towns, grades, every turn In the
road and odometer readings.
The tiold Hill Commercial Club Is
the latest child to seek adoptlou In
the great family of the Oregon IV
velopment league.
Iast Saturday fifty-seven eastern
hotel men and women were guests of
the fraternity In Portland. A lunch
eon at the Commercial Club was a
feature of their entertainment.
State Interests will be splendidly
represented on the Portland Business
Men's excursion now In southern and
western Oregon. Dr. Andrew C.
Smith, president of the Oregon Good
Koads Association, Is one of the
party.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians
who are to hold their annual conven
tion In Portland July litth to 24th of
this year say no meeting ever excited
such advance Interest. Late advices
say Philadelphia county, Pennsyl
vania, will send twenty-five dele
gates, while from the middle west
special cars and even special trains
are being planned right now.
Oregon Is given first place in the
leading article of May "Gardening. "
As the maguzlne expresses It, "A
corner of the American continent
which Is Ideal for all kinds of roses,
and where they excel In beauty any
thing seen In the old world." The
author of the beautifully illustrated
story Is Frederick V. Holmau, widely
known as a rosarlan. Several other
eastern magazines have planned to
send staff photographers to the coast
this summer during the height of the
rose season to get pictures of the
rose festival.
C. I NORTHWEST NOTES C.
Seattle, April 24 Shippers and jol
tiers, lu fact everyone having busi
ness with the railroads In Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland, Is highly ap
prehensive at the danger of the pas
sage of an amendment to the inter
state commerce act, known as the
Dixon amendment, which proposes
to place all railroad rates on a strict
ly mileage basis, and eliminate the
lower rates now allowed to sea
ports, by reason of water competi
tion. Inland cities are not altogether
In favor of the amendment, for it will
practically mean that no one city
can !ecoine a great jobbing center,
but that small jobbing points will
spring up at frequent Intervals along
all railroad lines. Although the
Spokane agitation has been In favor
of getting terminal rates for that
city, Spokane Is not anxious to aliol
Isb terminal rates ultogether. As It
stands today, Portland, Seattle and
Tacoma, with terminal rates allowed
by water competition have a, slight
advantage on Spokane. With no
terminal rates at all, all of the large
cities would lose their advantages ns
jobbing points.
Insurance matters In the state of
Washington will be brought to a
head lrt-fore the next legislature,
when the Insurance code committee,
appointed Ly Governor Hay, reports
Its proposed new code of laws to
govern all insurance companies. It
Is almost a certainty that the mutual
companies and the old line compan
ies, In the fire Insurance business, will
get Into a good hot conflict Iwfore
the legislature. The public Is only
hoping that the outcome will I of
advantage to the Insured, and that
lower rates will result.
The shipping men and jobbers are
saying, "Iet the Interstatecoinmeree
act alone." They lelleve that while
conditions are not erhap erfect,
the railroads have lieen good to the
Northwest as a whole, and that set
tled conditions are much better than
continual changes lu railroad legis
lation. Ko far as the Northwest la
concerned, the businessmen would be
pleased If congress would let up on
railroad legislation. Our own state
railway commissioners are capable
of looking after the Interests of their
states, as witnessed when the Wash
ington commission lowered all grain
rates last November without a pro
test from the railroads.
Hotta men and women In the West
ern states, especially those where
equal suffrage Is the rule, are Indig
nant at the statement of President
Taft in a recent speech wherein he
declared that he was opposed to
women voting, Invause where they
were allowed to do so, it was the
uudeslrable element which did most
of the voting. To prove that this is
untrue, figures have beeu circulated
showiug that at the last election lu
Denver, where ISO.lHH) women voted.
not more than 40 of that numter
could have been connected with the
evil element. In fact, the president
himself, at Flagler, Colorado, last
fall, congratulated the women of
Colorado on their right to vote, and
declared that If men would vote as
the women do," they would seldom
be far wrong. The new attitude of
the president on the suffrage ques
tion has leen considered almost an
Insult to the women In suffrage
states, where women's right to the
ballot has proven a successful system.
