THE MORNING- OREGONIAX, TUESDAY. JANUARY 9, 1906. 9 ALL FOR OREGON !5 IE S Commercial Club Decides to Enlarge the Scope of Its Work. MUST BOOM THE STATE Good Accomplished In the Advertise ment of the Commonwealth Through Icwls -and Clark Fair Not to' Be Sacrificed. . "This Is not the time to stop, io lag or to call a halt in the work of develop ment, o advertisement and of laudation of the state: it is the time to so on. There is a great future for the West and for Portland and the State of Oregon and the people here mupt help in the building: of iL The railroads will force the open ing: of the Columbia River bar by tho traffic they will bring for shipment across the sea, and the people will come with tho tide of immigration now flooding tho Atlantic shore without letting down tho bar to the Chinese coolie and his labor. California must now take its pat tern of civic advancement from Oregon, for Oregon has the spirit without the jealousies that arc eating out the heart of tho California movements. Should Blow Its Own Iforn. "Portland should blow its own horn, nd loudly, .for it is in good taste to do It. Go at the advertisement of the state and of the city as was done with the promo tion of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Got overs one interested In the advance ment of the state so that each will feel himself an integral part in the movement to .make Oregon great and will work and talk and act. Put the spirit, interest and money of the whole people into the work ond success will come." This in brief space of words is a state ment of tho sentiment and the talk of the members of the executive committee of the Portland Commercial Club as they discussed the future work of the promo tion committee at the banquet given by T. B. "Wilcox last night. There was not a dlssontlng voice to be heard when it was planned to continue the work for an other year, or longer. No one could be found who harbored the Idea that all the work and oxpenso and effort of the past year had not been expended for the good of all and with grand success. . "Work Is Pronounced Good. Tho work that has been carried on by Tom Richardson, secretary of the club, under the direction and with the assist ance of President H. M. Cake and the members of the executive committee was pronounced to be good and to have borne fruit for the future welfare of Oregon. Those who had pledged money for the inception of the work, more than a year ago, renewed their pledges last night, and in the majority of cases doubled them, un til It Is assured that the work of the pro motion committee will bo continued through the coming year on a larger and more effective basis than before. Mr. Wilcox, in opening the discussion, said that the time for Portland people to stop in the work of advancing the Jntor csts and the future of Portland and the Estate had passed and gone. It was the lime to work and to strive. lie pointed out that a great future awaited the Northwest, and it was the duty of all to assist in gaining that heritage. Tom Richardson's Statement, Tom Richardson followed with a state ment of the work that has been done and of some which remained yet to be under taken. He stated that the promotion com mittee had assisted in the advertisement of the state and had been instrumental in bringing many people to Oregon dur ing the year past. He said that one of the things to be done during the year was to bring the convention of the hotel men of the United States to Portland. He. would like to sec $5000 set aside for prizes to be given for articles written on Ore gon by teachers visiting the National Teachers Convention In California and printed in papers throughout the East. The convention of the American Bankers Association should be secured for the city, though it would cost 520,000 to bring it here. The time had come when the state should spend more money for advertising the state, and $50,000 a year would not be too large a sum. The time had come for Portland to blow her own horn as other cities were doing, and this could be done without loss of dignity. Everybody Should Assist. Whitney X.. Boise thought that all peo ple in the state should be asked to assist in the work of advancing the interests of the state. If each one was asked to as sist, with money and effort, all would feel they had a part in the work, and would give aid with voice and money and ef fort: The other members of the committee who spoke were unanimous In their opin ion that the work should be carried on through another year, and at the close of the evening it was decided that even more support should be given the work In the coming year than has been given In the year now past. It was also decided that the executive committee of the club should be enlarged by the addition of sev eral more members representative of in terests not now included and that the scope of the work should be broadened. A large committee will be named to raise a sum sufficient to carry on the work for the coming year, after a careful estimate has been made of the requirements, and it was concluded that the work of the promotion committee should dc broadened and extended in its purpose of advertis ing Portland. Oregon and the Northwest. GEN. LOGAN'S GRANDSON He Passes Examination for Second Lieutenant in Marine Corps. Logan Tucker, of Illinois, who recently passed number one in the competitive ex amination for appointment as a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps, Is a son of Lieutenant Colonel W. F. and Mary Logan Tucker, and a grandson of General and Mrs. John A, Logan. He is the only -one of General Logan's grandchildren whom the General ever saw. Had General Logan lived, young Logan would have been in the service long ago, as he inherits the enthusiastic patriotism and military talent of his grandfather. After the death of his uncle. Major John A. Logan, Jr., his mother felt that she could not allow her son to take the chances incident to the service which had proved so fatal to her brother, and, there fore, Induced him to decline the commis sion tendered flrst by President McKln ley and again subsequently tendered by President Roosevelt. Upon Joining his parents in Manila a year ago the old fever to be in the Army came over him so strongly that his par ents withdrew their opposition and al lowed him to apply for an appointment In the service. President Roosevelt ex pressed his desire to give General Lo gan's grandson, an appointment, regret ting ho had not felt he could accept the one tendered him before, so he found an LOGAN opportunity by appointing him to a Sec ond Lleutcnantcy in the Marine Corps and designating him for the first exami nations to be held. Secretary Morton gladly added Tucker's name to the list which wasjthen being prepared for the next examination. He is a fine specimen of a man tall, well developed and without a single de fect physically. He has a fine mind, ab solutely fearless, indefatigable In the ac complishment of whatever he sets out to do, kind, generous and manly in every sense of the word, and it Is not too much to claim for him a brilliant career. His father being in the service, he has trav eled extensively In his own country. abroad and In the Orient, and is familiar with the discipline, rules and regulations of the sen-ice. Personally, he is universally popular and loyal to his friends. He has his grand father's well-known supreme contempt for cowards and perpetrators of unmanly nets and enters the -Corps unusually well equipped for whatever orders he may re ceive, and will perform his duty gallant ly, cheerfully and with credit to his name.

FRONT ELEVATION OF STRUCTUHE TO BE ERECTED ON" NORTHRUP STREET. BETWEEN" TWENTY-FIRST AND nVENTY-SECONO STREETS. Although the American Ins. like most of the buildings upon the Exposition grotsndj. is to be razed te the ground by'the hand f the wrecker, the materials of which It is composed arc destined te bo of more permanent service than those of some f the other building. Dr. John Carlyle. the purchaser of the Inn. is iww erecting a large apartment-house on the north lde of N'orthrap street, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second, and the wodwork used in its construction Is to come almost entirely from that building. The three-story apartment-heusc which is being constructed occupies an entire quarter-block, but the dimensions arc only Sflx73. giving plenty of room on each side for light and air. no matter what buildings may bo erected upon the adjoining lot. Owing to tho large portion of the material which is being taken from the American Inn. the building will cost only 115,000. but will be one of the most commodious and well-finished frame structures of the kind In the clty. It -will be known as the "Washington. The building will bo thoroughly equipped with telephones, speaking tabes and elevator service. There win be four five roomed apartments to each floor aad each suite will be supplied with a Uled bathroom. On the ground floor there will be a large and elegantly-finished reception hall in the center of tho building. The space above this hall will be left for an open court. The occupants of each floor will have the use of a spacious front porch- Richard Martin. Jr.. drew tho plans. Dr. Carlyle recently came here from Seattle. He has great faith In the future of Portland and announces that this la only the flrst f a nHtnber of similar buildings which he will erect la this city. OliTLf S FOR OAKS Baseball Grounds to Be Estab lished by Street Railway. SCHEME OF THE 0. W. P. "Wants the Itcvcnue "Which Would Come From the Fans "Who "Would Hide on It.s Car Lines During the Season. Is the O. W- P. & nv- Co. to back an outlaw baseball loam In this city next season? That Is the question that Is agitating local baseball circles for the present. It has been rumored for some time that the advocates of the old North west League circuit arc planning tho Invasion of Portland In opposition to the Pacific Coast League, and the only tangible clue as to who was behind the move has come to light through the intention of the Oregon "Water Power & Railway Company to erect a commodious ball park In concction with Its resort known aa The Oaks. That it intends to erect a ball park at The Oaks Is an assured fact, and ac cording to the plans of the structure it Is not intended merely for the accom modation of amateur and semi-professional toams. but eventually to be the home of a regular league baseball club. General Manager Hurlburt, of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company, has had some experience in baseball affairs, for he was one of tho principal promoters of the erstwhile Lucas league that' held forth at Mr. Hurlburfs East Side ball grounds for a short time in 1903. Ttcvcnue From Transportation. The Immense revenue accruing to the "West Side roads by reason of the crowds attending the local ball games has caused the O. W. P. officials to desire to secure some of the trade, and as their lines do not extend to the regularly patronized ball park. It is evidently their Intention to establish an opposition team. In this matter they will receive the co-operation of the Lucas league supporters, and some Dugdale enthusiasts who are desirous of opposing anything that Is establish ed. "Just for the sake of competition." Dugdale, Lucas and company have their eyes on Portland, for they well know that unless they acquire a foot ing In this city their time-honored scheme of restoring the old Pacific Northwest circuit will be of no avail, and on that account they can be de pended upon to use their utmost en deavors to place Portland on their baseball circuit for the coming season. Tacoma is an assured adjunct to the Lucas league territory, for It will un doubtedly be dropped by the Coast League, and if the -plans of the "Fat Boy from Ballard" carry any weight, the Seattle club will call It quits and refuse to continue the struggle for ex istence In the Coast League. In the event that Dug wins out In the Seattle affair, the efforts of the combination will be directed toward Portland, and the probabilities are that the Oregon metropolis will again have two teams in the field. , Spokane "Wants Baseball. Spokane Is hungry for baseball, and would gladly welcome any league that would furnish it with the brand of ball It had in the days of the first Pacific Northwest League, and would readily Join hands with Seattle and Tacoma In an effort to establish a team In Portland in a four or six-club circuit. Aside from the fact that tho O. "W. P. Co. Intends to erect the park, nothing definite can be learned of those behind the movement. When the subject of an opposition league was mentioned to Manager Mc Credle. of the Portland team, he said: "Let them come. The more the mer rier. I don't believe that Portland wants any more of Lucas and" his crowd, and it won't take long to dem onstrate this to anyone who contem plates putting in another team. The Oaks Is too far out. anyway, for a ball ground. I should imagine they would select some place closer to the town. Something definite will probably de velop in regard to the proposed new league after the meeting of the Pacific Const League on January 24, when the intentions of the Seattle club will be made known.

CLAIM OF THE POLICE They Declare That It Is.a Disorderly House, Willie Proprietor Asserts It Is a Hotel and Res taurant Combined. ADMINISTRATION'S POLICT. RAIDING" The policy of the Lane administra tion, according to Acting Chief of Police Grltsmacher. Is to enforce the laws on the city's books as they arc found. Relative to the raid made at midnight Saturday on the establish ment owned and operated by Thomas I. Richards, the head of the depart ment states that he had left it all to Acting Detectives Kay and Jones, of Captain Bruin's staff. It Is the Intention of the adminis tration officials, says the Chief, to leave all such work to Kay and Jones, whose only instructions are to Inform themselves en the conduct of all hotels, restaurants and saloons, and to raid any place at any time, they being expected only to use good Judgment and to make no mistakes. A battle-royal is scheduled to begin Thursday morning In the Municipal Court between the City of Portland and Thomas I. Richards, proprietor of a well-known establishment at Park and Alder streets. He is charged with operating a disorderly house and violating the box ordinance. Deputy Prosecutor Fitzgerald and the po lice department purpose waging a hard light to convict the defendant on both counts, while he has engaged the services of Attorney C. M. Idleman, and intends to contest every inch of the ground. Rnid on Richards. Acting Detectives Kay and Jones, as sisted by other officers, raided Richards establishment at midnight Saturday, and arrested two men and two women. Sev eral others escaped because the detail of police were not properly placed. The plans were to capture every Inmate, but In this respect a bungle occurred. Enough were taken, however, to begin proceedings, and Richards now stands accused of two of fenses. It is the claim of the police that the establishment conducted by Richards 13 nothing more or less than a. dlsorderly housc and drlnklng-shop combined. It Is alleged by the prosecution that private boxes are maintained In the restaurant for the purposes of drinking, and that in the rear, connected by an alleyway. Is a house that is used for immoral purposes. The police claim to have evidence suffi cient to prove these allegations, and offi cers will be placed on the stand who will swear that Richards has never altered his establishment in any respect since tho passage of the box ordinance. Dcfenso Will Fight Hard. It Is presumed that the defense will deny every 'portion of the complaints now filed, and that every Inch of ground will be contested. Richards maintains that he Is operating a proper place. It being, he contends, simply a restaurant and hotel. Acting Chief Grltzmacher declared yes terday that for the raid on Richards establishment Acting Detectives Kay and Jones alone were responsible. He says they have standing orders to keep in formed on all public places of this nature, and to use their own Judgment as to making raids. He said that Kay and Jones frequently called his attention to Richards' place, saying they heard many complaints against It. and that he always told them to do as they thought best about making a raid on the place. They watched it Saturday night, he said, and thought the time had come to raid it. Fourth-Street Franchise Discussed.
