. . V THE MORNING ORE t, -MONDAY, 3IAT i, 1905. FIFTY CHURCHES ,'- f!T SHJOIHS Petitions Presented Congrega tions by the Pastors of e Portland. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SIGN Protest Against Clustering or Kesorts About Entrance to !Lcvis ajul . Clark Exposition Grounds Grows More Intense. THE SITUATION. Thirty saloons near entrance to Ex position grounds. Fifteen recently established to cater to Exposition trade. Fifty churchy have protested against state of affairs. Exposition officials deplore the situ ation. rCltUens have taken decided stand flSRinit saloons. Protest and petition may he pre sented Council. License committee may ho askcd by voters to revoke licences. Residents of ward in which saloons are located have entered protest. Declared that saloons now there do not obey the letter of the law. lp 50 o Portland's churches yesterday action was taken acalnst the clustering of -saloons about, the entrance to the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds, res olutions were adopted protesting against the stale of affairs, and voters of the con gregations were urged to sign a petition to the Council asking that something toe done in the matter, and, if possible, that the licenses of some of the resorts, espe cially those of the "mushroom" variety, be revoked. Through, these 50 churches the majority of Portland's population was again made .acquainted with the facts in the case and were told what repulsive sights citizens might expect to see in that vicinity if the saloons were allowed to remain unmo lested It was demonstrated that from the car-lines to the main entrance to the Centennial visitors would have to pass be tween rows of saloons filled with boister ous drinkers, and through an atmosphere charged with the odor of liquor and with obscene oaths. In practically all the churches the result was the fame the tfltef of affairs was deplored and the con gregation took a stand against the con dition now existing, while voter? of the several congregations expressed their de termination to light the saloons to the bitter end. The majority of the pastors in the city mentioned the subject In their discours.es. Pastors Present Petitions. The pastors of the leading churches of t!ie .city presented the matter at" the morning service yesterday, explaining in a tbw yards that the usual stopping place ,of -cars near the entrance to the Fair grounds would be lined with saloons, if some action were not taken to induce the City Council to revoke some of the licenses. Then petitions were circulated among the congregations and in all cases almost all those present signed. Long lists were obtained from the Taylor-street Methodist, the First Congregational and the First Baptist Churches. The ministers in all cases but one or two made the appeals to the congrega tions, as they had agreed to do In a meet ing a few days ago. They spoke only a few words in each Instance, as though the matter were of too common a knowledge and too patently a nuisance to need any argument. They merely told their hear ers that tlio petitions being circulated were .-to have some action taken to pre ent the crowding of saloons about the entrance to the Exposition, and that their signatures would be valuable. At the "White Temple, where several large serv ices were held, many hundred names were obtained by leaving petitions at the door, where both those coming in and tlose going out could sign. That the people of Portland are in ear nest about this matter was shown not nly" by the ready way in which the peti tions were signed, but by a movement .vhich nas begun to take shape among the women. "If the Council will not act and revoke the licenses, why not prevail upon the Fair officials to change the main entrance to the grounds?" they say. "The spot chosen is handy, but there are many others which could be used as well." But, though this would be a retaliatory measure, which would please the petition ers, it is hardly believed that it will be successful. The entrance is central, the car switches have been so extended as to make travel back and forth quick and a greal deal of trouble would be necessary to make an entrance far enough away from -the .quarter In which there are to be so many saloons. The rfncerlty of the movement is none the "less demonstrated by the fact that the "people would be willing to choose a less fitting entrance to be able to avoid the saloons. FiiEGED AND JAMISON SPEAK vl'ormcr Believes Saloon Licenses ATM Not Bo Revoked. "Obligations of Citizenship" was the topic of the. open forum and platform meeting "held last night 'in Woodmen of the World Hall. East Sixth street, by the Central Baptist Church, Rev. W. E. Randall, -pastor. Councilman A. Flegcl and O. PT M. Jamison, of the Municipal -League, and Rev. Mr. Randall were the Speakers. Mr. Jamfson told of the pur poses "of- "the Munlcloal Leasnie. whiMi hft.-3SId" had been orcanlzprf tn maVn "'"Portland a- clean city, and was made up or -mil classes ol men, interested in giv ing eviy man a fair chance. "Three" .years ago." said Mr. Jamison, "g&mbitae was carried on openly, and the brotkel and combination houses were on fcy hand, showing failure to en force the laws. For the Improvement of streets and bettering the fire service the prewent administration went into part nershiif'wlth gambling, and the city was paid JWW per month, promoting a gam bling trust.

Don't be fooled by the dec laration of certain candidates that they will run a business administration. En force the laws? O. yesj How about en forcing the liquor ordinance and the gam bling laws? No direct answer Is received. Too early to answer that question. The Municipal League wants the best Demo crat, or Republican, or Prohibitionist for office, and we should stand by the men who "have been tried and found honest. It is the duty of every citizen to .get out and vote lor the best men. How can you expect to have a clean city govern ment if you do not do your duty? It is even more Important that Portland should have good officers than that the state should have good officers, and Christian men and women should do their duty in electing this class of men." Flegel Gives Opinion. Councilman Flegel was Introduced, and opened his remarks by saying how many present had registered preparatory to do ing their duty at the polls as good cit izens. Portland, he said, was the finest city in the country, and it was the duty of its .people to keep it clean. Hejwlnted out that the people had it in their hands to do so. In speaking of the saloons that had been licensed near the Fair, he said that he did not helleve that any of the ,11- MAP SHOWING HOW GOVERNMENT IRRIGATION WORKS WILL . PREVENT RAILROAD EXTENSION INTO MALHEUR COUNTRY Shaded, portion on right indicates local ity of Government survey for reclamation service. Dotted line shows projected ex tension of .Corvallte & Eastern Railroad. V V HARNEY - M . F The map reproduced herewith shows the conflict in the Malheur Canyon between the surveys of the Corvallis & Eastern and the Union Pacific" railways and the recent lines run by the Government surveyors in the service of the reclamation bureau. There is practically 100 miles of railroad survey run through the canyon, and the adoption of the. plans as proposed by the reclamation department would mean the forced abandonment of any railroad project in that dis trict. In other words, it would bottle up the only feasible route leading Into Central Oregon from the east that has as yet been discovered by the surveyors working in the interests of the companies. From Yale west to Harper's Ranch, a distance of about 13 miles, the surveys run by the railroads and the irrigation engineers are Identical, the lines of one survey running coincident with those of the other. All along, from the head of the Malheur River to the eastern end of the sur veys at Ontario, there Is a conflict, and the construction of the one project according to the present plans would mean the exclusion of the other from the territory. The plans of the transportation committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce and allied business interests that are back of an agitation to result in the construction of a road through a Central Oregon point to an east-and-west route, are, therefore In conflict with the irrigation project as now proposed by the Government. It is understood that a com promise will be attempted with the bureau looking to the adjustment of conditions so that both, the road and the canals can be built. onncne f-rantofl Tvnulri bo revoked, buthe said that the people were responsible and flhould have taKcn up tne ngnt against them fix months ago.

You should examine vio rwn nr tnr thn Council and vote for the best man. Portland is a good city and we must keep it so. it la tne auty oi Christian people to take part in public affairs and help make it clean." Rev. Randall closed with a few re marks, saying that statistics showed that the cities would soon show an immense majority over the rural districts. Then would come the crucial test of our free institutions and it behooved every Chris tian to do his whole duty by the state. He announced that as soon as the new church on East Ankeny street was occu pied an open forum for discussion of popular topics would be inaugurated. HE SCORES MAYOR- WILLIAMS Dr. Clarence True Wilson Discusses Political Situation. As a prelude to his sermon. Dr. Clar ence True Wilson spoke as follows last night at Qrace M. E. Church: Our city is very near a crisis in Its moral life. Terns of thousands of utrangera will be drawn here to attend the Exposition and will come back or stay away as they are Impressed with us. Then our own youn people must KTOW up and get their own ideals of life in the conditions we make in this city. We ne-d at the bead of our city Government a clean handed, high-minded clttren without promlwa to the law-hreakinc forces of this municipal ity. The decent element here has been dis appointed and disgusted at the Incumbent's.! attitude on all moral question, ana his apol ogies for the lawlessness of his administration. He has felt called upon to criticise the churches, the ministers and the reform citi zens who elected him, bue he hae not turned a gun on the law-breaVlng saloon, the gam blers and the grafters. His defeat at the primaries, and if not there, at the voting booth, would be the highest triumph the caue of good, government and the- honest enforce ment of law could have. I ee that the liquor dealers have gotten together and are unitedly supporting Mayor Williams for another term. I can see no reaeon why they should not. He is theirs. But the Christian forces of Portland have had their strength greatly augmented. They are on better terms with the labor men than ever before. The independent voters have grown restive at the change of character and ohift of sides in Mayor WllUaias since his election. If the Republicans -wit! give us a chance, an the forces will get together and help them elect H. A. Albee, Mayor. If they will not, and the Democrats will give vs an euuatlv rood man. we ought to support hlsa. If we Jmvconly a choice of t evil, the moral men of the city ought to ret tbgethw and nominate & fitting representative of our highest life, and In eplte of saloons. gratUnaen and gamblers, wc can elect hint on an Inde pendent ticket. The Prohibitionists have named an independent ticket, and at iu head a man in every way qualified for the office, who will ctand It he It needed to rive u a chance to vote for one not pledgett to the saloons, or will withdraw, if 'by teat he can more easily aid the election of the right man. IVIth the red-light district flourishing and" the saloons triumphant Sundays and week days alike, with 27 new ones already licensed at the very gates of our Exposition grounds to offend the aenee of decency and Insult the women and children of Portland, the visitors who will be our guests, no wonder those ele ments want to bask in the smile of the same administration for another term. "The wicked walk on every hand, when the vilest men are exalted." This la the time for you Christiana to assert your manhood In a demand for the nomination of men you can trust In office; and It turned down by your parties, to smash all party lines and elect independently the right man. When bad men combine, the good must associate. The saloons -want Williams again; therefore, we do not. -V very high au thority baa said: "Woe unto them that build a town with' blood and establish a city by iniquity." HE RECOMMENDS H. It. ALBEE Rev. A. J. Montgomery Says Chris tian People Should Support Him. "Duty of Christians in the Coming Pri mary Election." was the topic of Rev. Andrew J. Montgomery, at the Third Presbyterian Church, East Pine Btrect. last evening, and his text was, "Tc are the salt of the earth; ye are the light of the world." Mr. Montgomery set forth with force that now is the time for Chris tian people in Portland to make their in fluence felt. If ever, at the primaries, which shall determine who will be the candidates for Mayor at the June elec tion. The direct-primary law had made Jt possible for the Christian clement to have a say in the selection of clean men ns candidates. The old Idea that Chris tian people should hold themselves aloof from public affairs has passed, for. as the text says, they are "the salt of the earth and the light of the world," and should make It manifest by participation in mak ing a clean city. It was not a case, said MrMontgomery. where the few who can escape from the sinking ship should do so, and let those who remain to go down with the vessel, but it was a question of saving the ship and all on board Mr. Montgomery said that of all the candidates for Mayor about whose policy there was no question, as derived from their published utterances, Fred T. Merrill and H. R. Albee had left nothing to be misunderstood. Mr. Merrill had declared unequivocally for an open town, with all that implied. He had not used language that could be misunderstood, and had spoken with entire .frankness. Christian people knew what they might expect if he ho elected Mayor. Mr. Albee had declared his policy with equal frankness, that he will enforce ex isting laws without undertaking radical reforms. Mr. Montgomery recommended his congregation and all Christian people to support Mr. Albee, as the one candi date deserving their confidence, and a citi zen in every way worthy. Of the other candidates lor Mayor, Mr. Montgomery had nothing to say, even passing over B. Lee Paget, Prohibition candidate, in si lence. Traveling Men Meet. A number of iocal commercial trav elers representing the T. P. A. and the U. C T. held a meeting In the par lors of the Portland yesterday for the purpose of arranging Jor Traveling Men's day at the Exposition. The date has been fixed for June 10 and it is expected that between 2000 and 3000 traveling men will be present on that occasion.

PRAISES NATURAL SCENERY Editor or The World's Work Here to Gather Data for Lewis and Clark Exposition Number of That Periodical. . Walter H. Page, one of the notable literary stars of America, is in -the city preparing to write up the Lewis and Clark Exposition for the magazine of which he is editor, the World's Work. He is accompanied by Mrs. Page, and they are guests at the Portland. Mr. Page, better known as "World's Work Page," is a tall, spare man with a charming manner, and he speaks with a slight New England acccntalthough he registers as a New Yorker. His face is a serious one, and his nalr is iron gray. It was suggested to him that the easiest way to begin the Interview was to ask the familiar question: What is your full name, where were you born, and hew old are you? But Mr. Page de murred. However, from another source It is learne'd that he is Walter Hines Page, born at Cary, N. H., August 15, 1S55, and that he was educatej at Bingham School. Randolph-Macon Col lege. Virginia, and Johns Hopkins Uni versity. Editor of the Forum 1S90-95, Mr. Page was literary adviser to Houghton. Mifflin & Co. 1S35-99. and was the editor of the Atlantic Monthly 1S3C-99. He Is the editor of The Re building of Old Commonwealths." Five years ago, he and his partner the firm is known as Doubleday. Page & Cc began their conection with the World's Work, published In New York, and in addition the firm publishes Country Life in America and the Garden Magazine, two other famous magazines esteemed for their high literary qualities and fine illustrations. Mrs. Page and I have been very much pleased with the picturesque beauty of this city," said the editor of the World's Work. "We went today in trolley cars over a considerable por tion ot Portland, anj especially admired the view from Portland .Heights, al though cloudy weather prevailed to a slight degree. What am I here for? Business and pleasure. My firm will issue a special Lewis and Clark Expo sition edition in the August number of the World's Work, and that is prin cipally the business that has brought me to Portland. The write-up an'd Il lustrations will be on a liberal scale, and in addition to the Exposition fea tures we Intend to publish what you Pacific Coast people are doing in the way of work and trade. In Oregon, Washington and Idaho. I have been away from home one month, and have spent the last two weeks looking over Helena. Mont.. Spokane. Seattle and Ta coma. Wash., Vancouver, B. C, and other places. ' "Your Exposition out here Ip well ad vertised In the East, and I expect quite a large number of people will come to Kee It, and also the magnificent ecencry of the Pacific Northwest. Oregon In par ticular. But I wish to say a word of friendly criticism right here. The write ups sent East from the Pacific Coast have Invariably told up Easterners all about your mining, lumbering, fishing and other Industries: the great possibilities of increased trade with the Orient, It ligation, about your Exposition, and other features. But in my opinion hardly any thing has been sent us concerning the magnificent scenic beauty of this part of our great country. You have snow-clad mountain? here all the year from Jan uary to December lakes, rivers, wonder ful canyons, a perfect panorama of beauty, and yet you far Western people prac tically do not tell in print about your greatcet asset. You don't tell what the good Lord has done for you, out here" 'Scuse me, Ahm dustin'. Talk anotha cha' " said a polite voice, and Mr. Page and the reporter were forced to mora by the sweeper-up of the hotel corridor. But the big editor of The World's Work was not disturbed, and. taking- another chair, he again got busy with his talk, and this time he discussed the death struggle be tween Japan and Russia, from a trade point of view. That is, he speculated what will be the advantages to this coun try in increased trade, when the war Is finished. "I don't think the Russians can whip Togo at sea," uttered the New York editor.- puffins away at his cigar. "Togo is too shrewd to risk too much" all at once. He'll play a waiting game. I don't think Japan to going to get whipped. But If she does, Russia won't be allowed to seize Japan. The world would object When peace comes it will be difficult to grasp the increased trade possibilities be tween the Pacific Coast and the Orient. And of course, the rest of the country Is vitally interested In this." J. M. Would Buy Theaters. A representative of S. Morton Cohn, the vaudeville manager, stated last night that Consldlne & Sullivan had made an offer to buy 12 of Mr. Conn's vaudeville theaters In the Pacific Northwest, but that the offer has not as yet been ac cepted or declined. "Any statement that the 12 theaters have been disposed of is false." went on the speakerl "Mr. Cohn I expected home from Seattle tomorrow' Locomotives for Japan. SEATTLE. April Carrying X cargo of 24,000 tons of freight aad 67 loceaotives for Japan, In addition to a large passen ger list, the ste&raafelp Mlnaeeeta will clear this port toraorrew for the Orient.
