Oregon and Oriental Structures on
Lewis and Clark Fair Grounds
Are Set Aside for the Ex
hibition in June.
F. A. Insley, manager of the Portland
Development Company, attended the
meeting of the Portland Rose Society,
held at noon yesterday, and tendered free
of charge, the use of the Oriental and the
Oregon buildings ' for the Rose show,
lasting two days, which Is to be held as
one of the main attractions of the Rose
Festival during the first week of June.
1908. Mr. Insley Informed the Executive
Board of the Rose Society that he would
like to make a large money contribution,
but hoped that the tender of the two best
eaulpped structures on the Lewis r.nd
Clark Exposition Fair grounds would"
stand In good stead in lieu of actual casn.
The Executive Board has had several
propositions under consideration, and ten
tatively accepted the tender of the Port
land Development Company until the
others could He heard from. It was later
found that none of the rest would make
anything like a practical proposal. There
fore, the Rose Society voted unanimously
to accept the tender of the two spacious
structures on the World's Fair grounds.
Both are surrounded with rows and beds
of typical Portland roses and therefore
will be symbolical of the grand demon
stration that Is to be held next year.
o Rose Show Date.
At the meeting held yesterday it was
decided that no date for the Rose Show
should be set for some time to come,
but a majority of those present held that
the aisplay should be made during .-ie
first few days of the Rose Festival week
for the reason that the roses and other
flowers used In the big exposition could
be used In decorative work for the spec
tacular pageants of the festival proper.
The Oriental building Is to be used ex
clusively for the Rose Show, and it is
is to be provided with narrow tables ana
wide aisles so that there will be none of
the confusion and crowding that attended
the show of last June. Several acres of
ground are embraced in the broad
reaches of the Oriental building, and its
floor space of 200x400 feet on the ground
floor, in addition to the 50-foot balcony
which runs all the way around, the i.uge
structure will amply accommodate 25,000
people at a time. There will be none of
the jamming and tugging and pushing
that attended the Rose Show of this
Summer, and there will be abunuant op
portunity to display the hundreds of ex
hibits that will be entered in the competi
tion lists.
"ew Rules Are Drafted.
The meeting of yesterday also resulted
In the appointment of a committee to
draft rules governing the exhibits and
the exhibitors, which will avoid the con
fusion and wrangling which attended the
exposition of last June, when the For
estry building was found altogether too
small to accommodate the exhibits.
Numerous suggestions sent In were
read at the meeting, among them ono
calling for a huge 'Fountain of
Roses," embellished with electrical and
transparency effects, with water play
ing over blooms wrought in artistic
forms. Another suggestion was that
the maselve pillars throughout the
Oriental building be wreathed In fes
toons of roses during the show. Presi
dent E. M. McFarland, of the Rosa So
ciety, said last night that any and all
suggestions that were at all practi
cable or fitting would be received and
adopted if conditions and circum
stances permitted.
The ways and means committee of
the Rose Festival Association met at
noon yesterday and reviewed the par
tial reports which had been turned
in by the 35 or 40 subcommittees who
had taken part in the big financial
campaign. It was unanimously decid
ed that the campaign to secure the full
1100,000 would be continued until the
full sum had been obtained.
Many Are Delinquent.
Only 46 out of the 110 committees
selected had turned In the results of
their canvass ' by closing time last
night, and as a result Chairman Rowe,
of the ways and means committee, is
sued a call in which he urged all so
licitors to turn in their reports before
next Monday night, whether they are
complete or not, because the Festival
Association desired some tangible basis
to work on in the new Campaign that
will be undertaken.
Work of reorganizing the canvass
ing committees will be continued
throughout the week, and in place of
those who did not go out to solicit
other campaigners will be picked out
and the "hustle" for money will be
taken up with renewed activity next
Monday. Many of the canvassing
committees did not Join in the big
"round-up" at all, although headquar
ters had been Informed to the contrary.
When the new men go out next week
there will be none but strenuous cam
paigners In the field. . j
Tabulate the Returns.
The pledges already received are
being tabulated and will be published
within the next few days. The ways
and means committee yesterday went
through the list of 110 subcommit
tees, cut out the dead wood, and called
upon the really "live ones" to Jump
Into the breach for the canvass which
begins next week.
The Festival Association officials
will meet next Monday night and take
UP a number of Important matters,
including several untried schemes for
raising money for the festival fund.
President C. A. Whltemore said last
night that no stone would be left un
turned in order to secure the whole
1100,003, simply because Portland has
set a mark for public spirit which can
not be forgotten or disregarded.
"It must be reached." said White
more, "and that Is one of the purposes
of the meeting next Monday night."

NEW ClUBHOtSK OF PORTLAND ROWING CU B IS COMPLETED.
The new and handsome clubhouse home of the Portland Rowing Club on the bluff overlooking the Willamette River at
the foot of Ivon street, on the East Side, designed and built by H. L. Camp &. Co., Is completed. The site Is ideal. It
stands on the edge of the bluff, removed from floods or high water, and yet convenient to the fleet of club boats and
launches In the boathouse Just below. This clubhouse replaces the one that was carried away by the freshet of two years
ago. after It had been moored for a number of years at the East end of the Morrison bridge. With commendable
pluck the members of the Portland Rowing club very soon secured another and much better location and had the plans
prepared for a new house that ecllDses anything of the sort In Portland.
It Is a three-Btory structure. The first story is the basement proper, built of concrete. It contains 250 lockers, with
shower baths and space for heaters and cigar and notion standi The basement la well arranged and thoroughly sanitary.
On the second floor is a billiard room 20x31, with large central entrance hall. Also on this floor is the general reception
room, 24x28 feet, provided with an ample fireplace. In the rear of the reception-room is the ladles' parlor with lavatory,
on the third floor are the servitors' rooms and a large assembly hall. At the front of the building overlooking the Wil
lamette River and Portland is the plasa, 10x70 feet, which is one of the most attractive features of the clubhouse. The
cost of the building Is about 17000. In due time It will be osened with an appropriate function.
BANK PRESIDENT REPORTS
EASTERN' OREGON READY TO
AID REORGANIZATION.
Investors Will Come In, Says W. H.
Moore, if Assured Depositors
Will Do Share.
W. H. Moore, president of the closed
Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, returned
yesterday from a trip to Eastern Ore
gon, where he went to secure new cash
subscriptions for the reorganization
bank. While there he was ill, and did
not do as much work as he would have
had he been well. He will return soon
to Eastern Oregon to complete the
task. He-sald yesterday:
"I found plenty of money there that
will come In if the bank is reorgan
ized. Confidence is general in the plan
we are now following. The $300,000 In
new money already subscribed is con
ditional on the taking of bonds by the
depositors and the showing that the
bank's losses on bad loans can be made
up, and the further showing that the
institution will be made sound and
Bolvent. These losses can be made up
in several ways. The bank has made
some money during the' time it did
business and has earned $500,000 in
telephone stock on its bond purchases'
which was held when the bonds were
sold. This stock has not been listed
as an asset. I am satisfied the losses
can be made up and everj-thlng now
depends upon the subscriptions to tele
phone bonds by the depositors."
Receiver Devlin holds like views. He
is looking after the interests of the
depositors first, and the success of the
reorganization movement by Itself is a
second consideration. He considers this
means, however, the only one whereby
depositors can get anywhere near the
value of their deposits.
"There is every prospect of paying
dollar for dollar,' said he, "If depositors
take bonds. Otherwise, I can promise
but little. Time Is passing, and I shall
proceed and close out the assets of the
bank as soon as may be, if depositors
do not want to accept the plan of
fered. Collections are slow, and only
a small per cent of the value of de
posits can be expected if the receiver
ship continues. I would like to urge
every depositor personally to do his
part and help himself get his own
money."
Subscriptions to telephone bonds and
bank stock are not coming in very
fast The total last night was $685,000.
About $300,000 more must be taken in
securities if the plan is to succeed.
Seventy per cent of the depositors have
done their share in the work. A final
personal letter to the laggards is being
sent out today by Secretary Richmond,
of the Depositors' Association. Presi
dent Day of that organization said last
night:
"The results of the campaign during
the past three days have been discour
aging to the men who have spent their
time begging the depositors to help
themselves, and unless the prospects
look brighter by November 1, the plan
will be abandoned. The depositors who
now hold back will reap what they
have sown, and it Is to be regretted
that they will take the willing ones
with thnm. Every depositor must real
ize that now is the time to act, and
not after the committee stops work.
"I feel like, taking ofT my hat to a
small depositor who. after making a
thorough Investigation, signed up for
a $100 bond on an account of $52,
agreeing to pay $4g in cash to make up
the difference upon the delivery of the
bond. That Is the right spirit."
Baggagemen Enjoy Session;
Classification of baggage and other rou
tine subjects continue to occupy the at
tention of the Harriman baggage men.
who will be in session at the passenger
headquarters for the remainder of the
week. The baggage agents are enjoying
their meeting here and are being enter
tained with theater parties and rides
about the city.
LOW RATES ARE ABOLISHED
Clergymen and Others Will Get
Fewer Concessions Hereafter.
Hereafter clergymen will have to pay
higher rates for railroad tickets. The
Transcontinental Passenger Association
has decided to do away with the usual
half-rate fare in states that have passed
the 2-cent rate law. The effect of this
ruling will be to compel passengers of
the cloth to pay $36 instead of as
formerly, to Missouri river points from
the North Pacific Coast. Two-cent per
mile fare laws have been enacted In Ne
braska, Kansas and Minnesota, and the
increase is due to full fare in these
states. East of the Missouri river no re
duction will be made .for this class of
travel In future.
The new order applies not only to min
isters, but to duly accredited missionaries,
nuns, sisters of charity, disabled volun
teer Soldiers and sailors, traveling secre
taries of railroad, T. M. C. A. and com
missioned! officers of the Salvation Army
and the Volunteers of America. Advices
of the new order have been received by
Assistant General Passenger Agent Scott,
of the Harriman lines, the Transconti
nental Association having made tms rul
ing at its Chicago meeting, which is now
in progress.
EMPLOYER S HONOR MEMORY
Issue Circular Letter, Eulogizing
Work of John Paul Jones.
That railroad corporations show some
evidence of possessing souls, despite the
familiar theory to the contrary, is shown
by the circular issued yesterday by the
general passenger offices of the Harri
man lines In this territory. A splendid
tribute is paid to John Paul Jones, the
traveling passenger agent for the South
ern Pacific lines In Oregon, whose death
occurred last week and whose funeral
was held at Salem last Sunday. The
circular was sent to all agents of the
company in Oregon. After giving In brief
Mr. Jones' record with the company, the
circular says:
The peculiar duties of his position made It
necessary for him to mingle with people
everywhere, at all times and under all cir
cumstances, and a fitting tribute to' his long
and faithful service was the high regard,
confidence and affection of all who knew
him. Though mild of manner, he was of
strong personality, gentle, courteous and lova
ble, and the announcement of his death, even
though hourly expected. Is the occasion for
widespread sorrow and regret.
Leave for Klamath Falls.
Twenty-five representative business men
of Portland left in a special car yes
terday morning at 8:15 for Klamath iails
on the special excursion to the county
fair. The object is to form closer rela
tions with a district which now deals
almost exclusively with California, rather
than Oregon. The party will be away
about two weeks.

PRAISES NEHALEM VALLEY
DR. JAMES WITHYCOMBE TELLS
OF HIS VISIT TO SECTION.
Isolated Part of State Prospering
In Spite of Unfavorable Condi
tionsIdeal for Dairying.
Dr. James Withycombe, director of the
Oregon Experiment Station, at Corvallis,
has just returned from a trip through the
Nehalem Valley, where he went with
E. T. Judd, William Schulmerlch and
Prof. C. E. Bradley, assistant chemist at
the Oregon Experiment Station. The
party held a series of farmers' Institutes
throughout the Nehalem country. Dr.
Withycombe was very favorably Im
pressed, with the development of that
section, never having visited it 'before.
He said:
"It is simply astonishing to note the
agricultural development In such an Iso
lated district. One cannot but be pro
foundly Impressed with the sturdy char
acter of the men 'and women who went
nearly 40 years ago Into the very
heart of the coast range of mountains,
and who have hewn out magnificent
farms. The valley soil Is phenomenally
rich and Is ideal dairy land. The farms
extend along the Nehalem River for
nearly 60 miles. A peculiar condition of
the valley which Impresses one strongly
Is the wall of timber on either side.
"Dairying is the principal Industry, but
they find that the mountain slopes are
not well adapted for grazing, but are
splendid fruit lands, especially for pro
ducing a very high grade of the North
ern Spy apple. The farmers are general
ly prosperous, judging from the many
splendid modern homes and good barns.
Their greatest need Is transportation.
"In addition to a large area of agricul
tural land, the forest wealth Is simply
Immense. It is not unusual to see trees
from 250 to 300 feet tall, and 175 feet to
the first branch These trees will yield
10,000 feet of first class lumber. Not a
few, but hundreds of thousands of such
trees stand in the Nehalem country.
"On the farms, many forage plants
are grown, such as clover, vetch, alfalfa,
corn, turnips and kale. All these crops
yield in great abundance. Root crops of
all descriptions do well and the potatoes
not only grow to great size, but are of a
very high quality. - On the rich bottom
lands there is no difficulty in. producing
from thirty to fifty tons of kale per
acre, thus conclusively demonstrating the
adaptability of the whole valley to dairy
ing. At present the cream is gathered
and shipped to Portland. This, In some
Instances, is hauled fifty miles to a ship
ping point, but despite the isolation the
country is exceedingly prosperous.
"One commendable feature of the im
provement of the valley is the splendid
roads that are being constructed. There
are few sections of the state that can
boast of better graded roads than the
Nehalem Valley. The social conditions
there are also excellent. They have their
own telephone system and several grange
organizations. The Grange of Natal sup
ports an excellent hall and during the in
stitute the farmers made a very fine dis
play of the products of their section."-

Recalls a Mule and a Sheep.
PORTLAND, Oct. 17. To the Editor.)
That's a fine name the Initiative One Hund
red think of giving to our city. All you have
to do is to think of a mule and a sheep
"Mule two Mali!" Give them a little water
out of Bull Run and there will be enough
animals to stock a farm. Somebody must be
going farming. I T. EBERHAKDT.

Road Now Building to Tillamook
- Absorbed by Great System Ship
ment of Wheat From Mouth
of .Columbia Improbable.
That the Harriman terminals near As
toria were bought in anticipation of fu
ture needs rather than for present use.
Is the belief among men acquainted with
transportation matters. While it Is un
doubted that- the tidelands just pur
chased will be used for the Lytle road
they are believed to be chiefly provision
for the future.
It is pointed out that Harnman neglect
ed to secure terminals In almost every
city on the Pacific Coast until too late
and then he paid fabulous sums for them.
For example, the tidelands recently
bought In Seattle, costing a fortune,
could have been had at far less cost had
Mr. Harriman not been compelled to
buy at the top of the market. He has
apparently learned to Becure terminals
before he starts to build railroads.
Future terminal facilities equal to pos
sible demands upon them is apparently
the object sought In the purchase Just
made, for the track on Youngs Bay is big
ger than the Lytle road will need. Those
who engineered the deal, however, evi
dently thought the land will be worth all
It cost at any time. In case the Harriman
people no not need it for their own use.
It may be asserted without question
that the purchaser had in view accommo
dations for the Pacific Railway & Navi
gation Company, which is the Lytle road
to Tillamook and Astoria. That this road
is a Harriman line is unquestioned. No
further doubt need be had on that score
by anyone. Originally projected by Mr,
Lytle, the road soon passed Into the
Harriman fold and the Harriman inter
ests are directing its construction through
Mr. Lytle.
Discussed at Odd Times.
The possible future terminal rates on
wheat at the mouth of the Columbia
River that are agitated every little while,
is a factor, apparently, In the purchase
of tldeland terminals. With Hill reaching
salt water by an easy and direct route,
having acquired the Astoria & Columbia
River Railroad, Harriman apparently has
fortified himself for the contingency that
might possibly arise should wheat be
hauled to Astoria for export.
There is apparently, however, little if
any chance that grain will go to the
mouth of the river, say railroad men. If
it did, it is contended that cars would
have a longer haul and would have to be
dragged back empty over the 100 miles
between Portland and Astoria, adding to
the expense of delivering the wheat at
the harbor. Some point out that the cars
would not come back empty for they
would be loaded with lumber, but If so
loaded, they would J ave to go clear East
for discharge of the lumber tonnage and
that would release the cars from the
grain-carrying trade for so long a time
that the railroads would not have equip
ment to handle lue crop. During the
wheat-moving season, the rallroaas would
have to keep their cars on the move be
tween the wheat fields and the port of
discharge and could not allow them to
load back with lumber for the Eastern
markets.
Long Haul Bad Feature.
This long haul by rail and the empty
haul back apparently precludes a profit
able handling of grain from the interior
to Astoria for shipment. An Instance of
the economical transfer of grain between
Portland and the sea by steamer Is given
in the steamer Indian Monarch, which
left Portland yesterday morning with 320,
000 bushels of wheat, or 6600 tons. The
running expenses -of the steamer, plus
pilotage from Astoria to Portland and
from Portland back to the sea, made
the cost of handling the wheat for the
distance 6Vi cents a ton. If the railroads
can do as well as that, they are entitled
to the traffic, but they will have to meet
that competition before they can expect
to deliver wheat to ships at Astoria.
The report that Hill had bought a large
tract of terminal property near Astoria
including the Flavel tract. Is denied by
L. B. Seeley, one of the owners. He says
there Is no truth in the story and that
neither Hill nor anyone else has been ne
gotiating for it. .
