DECLARES WILCDX
Tells Commercial Club That He
Believes Financial Trou
bles Have Passed.
AT THE MONTHLY DINNER
Portland Business Man WUo AVas
Recently in Xew York Draws
Comparison Favorable to
Conditions in Oregon.
That the financial flurry has passed the
danger point was the opinion expressed
by Theodore B. Wilcox in his remarks
last night at the monthly dinner of the
Commercial Club. Mr. Wilcox recently
returned from New York where he wit
nessed runs on several of the large banl-
ing houses and contrasted the feverish
anxiety of the depositors with the be
havior of the Portland creditors. Mr.
Wilson said that financial . conditions in
Oregon' were so different and so much
better than they were in New York that
he left for home ten days sooner than he
had Intended. Mr. Wilcox's reassuring
remarks were listened to with interest by
the largest company that has assembled
at any of the dinners this season.
Other addresses dealing with the public
ity work of various commercial bodies of
the state were delivered by John H.
Whyte of Astoria, A. A. Jayne of Hood
River. B. W. Johnson of Corvallls, John
H. Hartog, recently appointed manager of
the Eugene Commercial Club, C. W. Hod
eon and Tom Richardson.
Now Sees Light Ahead.
"There has not been a day," said Mr.
Wilcox, "since I returned from the East
on October 28 that I have been willing to
express evejii to my closest friends any
opinion whatever of the financial situa
tion. Even now the less said about finan
ciil matters, perhaps, the better. But on
this occasion, the first day that I have
seen my way to do so, I am willing to
express the opinion that the flurry is
over. There have been among us people
who perhaps, with perfect right, have had
as much judgment, as much sense, as a
horse running loose In the street. I don't
wish to criticise them that's their privi
lege. Perhaps it meant all there was
to them; but that isn't the way for a
business community to support the finan
cial institutions. '
"I happened to be in New Y'ork week
before last. I saw several 'runs.' I also
saw a sight that was indeed touching.
You probably all read criticisms of Mor
gan and of Rockefeller during the re
cent panic. At 4 o'clock one afternoon,
with Wall street crowded with Stock
Exchange men, white-faced, tense, down
the steps of the Stock Exchange walked
old J. Pierpont the man who saved the
financial day In New York. That crowd
of men In the narrow street cheered and
cheered and cheered.
Danger Is 'ow Past.
"This little flurry has injured some
friends of mine, has injured some who
are not friends of mine or anybody etse:
but I believe the danger Is past. For
my part this is the. first day that I have
had the courage to do business, to liqui
date my debts and. to get ready. Today
I have gone back into the market to buy
wheat and I have got the money to pay
for It.
"You can't destroy the prosperity of a
country like this. In which the goodness
of God and the intelligence and enter
prise of American people have produced
so much.- You can't stop it. We are
bound to come out on top: and I do not
know of any city or section in the
United States better fixed than ours, for
we've got the stuff behind us."
The addresses of Mr. Jaynes, Mr. Har
tag, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Whyte, Mr. Hod
son and Mr. Richardson presented many
Interesting facts regarding the work of
making known to the world the advan
tages of the state.
TAXPAYERS GIVEN HEARING
Equalization Board Will Render Its
Decisions After Holidays.
At a meeting of the County Board of
Equalization, held in the Assessor's
office at the City Hall yesterday morn
ing and afternoon, a number of com
plaints from small property holders
were heard by the board, which will
render its decision in regard to the
assessments after the bank holidays
close.
K. J. Martin came before the board to
object to the assessment levied upon
his property at the Elder dock.
Whitney I Boise objected to the
assessment upon his property at Haw
thorne Park. This property was form
erly used by the city as a park, and
at that time was not assessed. The
first assessment levied is strongly ob
jected to by the owner.
William Porter told the members of
the board he thought his property at
Park and Morrison streets was as
sosseed far too much, and Mr. Sinnott,
who owns a quarter block adjoining
the tanks of the Standard Oil Com
pany on East Water street, said these
caused a depreciation in the value of
his property, for which cause he asked
& reduction.
The afternoon was spent by the board
In looking over the complaints of a
number of other small property hold-
KXJOIXS ELEVATOR 'COMPANY
Order Restrains Firm From Inter
fering With Swetland Lifts.
On petition of L. Q. Swetland. owner
of the Swetland building. Fifth and
Washington streets. United States Judge
Wolverton yesterday issued a temporary
restraining order enjoining the Van Emon
Elevator Company -from in any way in
terfering with the operation of the ele
vator service in the petitioner's building.
Citation was also Issued requiring the de
fendant company to appear in court at
10 A. M. Saturday, November 16, and show
cause why the restraining order should
not be continued.
This proceeding is the sequel to a dis
pute batween the owner of the building
and the elevator company over the set
tlement of a claim for the installation of
two elevators. Claiming an alleged bal
ance from Swetland, representatives of
the elevator company are said to have en
toredthe building and removed essential
fixtures of the two elevators as security
for the unpaid balance alleged to be due.
As a result, the elevator service in this
building has been crippled seriously and
an officer of the company was placed
under arrest. "
Coal Supply Cut Short.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. Nov. 12.
(.Special.) By the strike of miners at the
FLURRY
OVER
Wilkeson mine in the Carbonado district
yesterday, 1200 tons of coal have been
cut oft from the dally supply. The Wilke
son output is used largely by the Nor
thern Pacific, but the other mines at Car
bonado supply much of the coal used in
the state.
INTEREST IN THE FIGHT
Moran and Xeill to Meet No
vember 22. ,
"Once more the fight game in San Fran
cisco is looking up. The last fistic
mill held there was devoted to the
heavies. Jack Johnson and Flynn. This
fight appeased the fans in a measure for
the bad taste that was left In their month
when Joe Gans slapped Jimmy Brltt into
retirement, and it did much towards
bringing the big smoke into good stand
ing. The fight, however, that will please
and one that should prove to be a slash
ing good mill from the first bell to the
last, is the battle between' Owen Moran
and Fraiikie Neill.
A circumstance that will add interest to
the fig-ht Is the fact that Moran is an
Englishman, and his fight with Neill
will be sort of an international affair.
Neill Is one of the gamest lads that ever
stepped through the rope, and while he
has been defeated he has never fought a
battle that was off color.
Moran came to this country with a rep
utation of a fighter of class, but unlike
other British importations, he has been
well tried out. Wheji the little Britisher
first landed among us, he 'did not clamor
for a fight with the top-notchers in the
American lightweight division. 4ie was
content to take on the little fellows in
the East and tight himself up to where
he was ready for bigger and better game.
In the East where the lad .has fought a
number of corking good battles, he is well
thought of. He is shifty and game, but
it was not until he had cleared the deck
In the East that he drifted to San Fran
cisco, the big haven of things fistic, look
ing for a battle.
Neil) and Moran will fight on November
22 at Dreamland. Alec Greggian, who
arranged the November date, was laughed
at by the other Bay City promoters,
when he secured the permit, for at that
time Greggian had no fighters in view.
Just about the time that the fans be
gan to think that Alex had almost a
lemon, on his hands, he announced the
Neill-Moran match, and now the fol
lowers of the game, both East and West,
are looking forward to the battle.
If all that has been said about Moran
by Eastern fight critics Is true, he will
make Neill fight the battle of his life.
The lad from the British Isles hasn't
had the hard route that Frankie has
traveled, neither has he met, during' his
career, so many tough customers as the
Callfornian. Being one of the gamest lads
that ever drew on a glove, and being al
ways willing to mix it in a slugging
match, Neill has been the receiver-general
of many a hard lacing. ,
Whether he has been slowed up on ac
count of these battles ' remains to be
seen. Another thing that will count
against Neill is the fact that he has not
been fighting much, of late years, while
his husky little opponent has been busy
all the time.
Now that Jack Johnson has cleverly
whipped Flynn, the outcome of the Tom
my Burns-Gunner Moir fight will be
anxiously looked forward to. Burns has
gone to London to meet Molr, and should
he whip the Englishman, there will be
clamor on this side of the pond for a
fight between the Canadian and the
negro. Before going abroad. Bums said
he was willing to meet Johnson, but there
is a chance that Tommy might try to
fill and back when the time comes.
If he tries this what a howl there will
be, for in spite of Johnson's color and
the yellow shadow between his shoulders,
he is undoubtedly one of the fattest big
men in the country. Burns may not want
to meet the smoke, but it is more than
likely that he will be forced into a fight
with the negro.
HAS USUAL HARD-LUCK STORY
Washington Confident, However.
Probable Position of Players.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 12. (Special.) More
confident now than they have been at any
other time tills season, the University of
Washington football team and students
are determined to win from Oregon next
Saturday. Instead . of being gloomy over
the defeat at the hands of Whitman last
week, the U. of W. are pleased that the
eleven did so well. A big torchlight pro
cession through the business section of
Seattle is planned for Friday night before
the big game, and a monster rally will be
held Thursday night.
The team will not be in the best of
shape, however. Harris, half-back, suf
fered a broken rib at Walla Walla, and
will positively be unable to play all sea
son. Captain Bagshaw says his ankle
and leg will prevent his playing, athough
it is possible in a pinch he will be used.
Trott, whose playing was a feature in
Portland against Multnomah, is far from
well.
Center Tegtmeier will likely be moved
out to end to take Bragdon's place and
either Back or Kaylor will be usea at
center. Matthews, who used to play
quarter on Puget Sound University, will
fill-the. pivotal position for Washington.
Clark and Willis will play in the back
field. The third .member of the trio Is
uncertain now.
A training table has been established
upon recommendation of the student
board of control. Coaches Place, Luck
and Conlbear will teach the eleven a few
new plays this week, and work the play
ers up to the highest degree of efficiency
physically and! in the playing line. Even
ing lectures will be given In the gym
nasium four nights before the game.

WHEATBUYINGIS
AGAIN RESUMED
Trading in This Important Cer
eal Is Again Under Way
in the Northwest. , .
EXPORTERS IN THE MARKET
Portland Flouring Mills Company
Again Takes Grain and Expects
to Continue Purchasing. .
Views of T. B. Wilcox.
The most encouraging news in commer
cial circles since the bank Holidays were
proclaimed two weeks ago was the an
nouncement yesterday of the resumption
of business in the wheat market. The
Portland Flouring Mills has re-entered
the field as a buyer, and It is presumed
that operations by other exporters and
grain merchants will soon be under way.
The buying so far has not been ex
tensive, but the very fact that the market
has passed out Qf Its stage of inactivity
is a hopeful sign. For two weeks past
trading in wheat and other cereate has
been practically at a standstill, owing to
the financial situation. The shippers have
been occupied in moving grain previously
purchased and In settling up old con
tracts, but little or nothing in the way
of new business developed until yester
day. Speaking of the situation. T. B. Wil
cox, president of the Portland Flouring
Mills Company, said:
"We are now in the market in a limited
w'ay, and are willing to buy - wheat, but
we feel like restricting our purchases un
til better conditions prevail on the other
side. The demand for cargoes has been
nominal, and it has looked like lower
prices, and in view of the circumstances
we have not felt like, making new com
mitments. "We feel today, however, that the finan
cial atmosphere is clearer and we can see
no clouds on the horizon. We are mak
ing offers for wheat and have bought a
little, and expect to continue buying."
Grain merchants' estimates of the pro
portion of the Northwest wheat crop sold
to date range from 50 to 70 per cent. Only
a comparatively small portion of this,
however, has been moved. About 25 car
goes have cleared from the North Pacific
ports since the season opened, white five
times as many sailing vessels and steam
ers are under charter for loading at Port
land and on the Sound.
A good many of these vessels are close
at hand, wjth some already in port and
preparing to receive cargo. The exporters
can be counted upon to turn over this
wheat as fast as possible and put the
money back into the country for fresh
supplies.
RECORDER'S OFFICE OPEN
COTJNTY CLERK WILL- IGNORE
HOLIDAYS.
Deeds, Mortgages and Iiike Instru
ments to Be Accepted for Record.
Follows Advice .of Xawyers.
County Clerk Fields will open his of
fice for the recording of deeds, mort
gages and like instruments this morn
Ine. according to a statement he gave
out last night. He says he will dol
this on advice of District Attorney
Manning, who has told him that there
can be no possible legal action against
him as County Clerk for so doing,
while there may be such if he refuses
to record instruments during the DanK
holidays.
"The Attorney-General has given his
decision -that the County Clerks have
a right to record instruments during
the present holidays," said Clerk Fields
last night, "and a majority ot xne at
torneys of tile city are of a like opin
ion. Now that the District Attorney
has had an opportunity to look up the
law on this question he has changed
his opinion. It has been on his advice
that I have kept the office closed for
the past two weeks.
"It was thought at first that the
holiday would last but a few days, but
as it has continued to stretch out, and
promises to cover considerable more
time, I think it best to open the office,
for there , is a public demand for it,
and the law in the case seems to
plainly indicate that it should be done."
Section 3918, of Bellinger and Cot
ton's Code, provides that any day ap
pointed by the Governor shall be a
legal holiday. Section 1D05 is a general
law referring to all County Clerks in
Oregon. It was passed in 1862, and
provides that the County Clerks of the
state shall keep their offices open for
the transaction of business on every
judicial day from 8 o'clock to 12 in the
morning, and from 1 to 5 in the after
noon. Section 2575 is a law passed in 1887.
which provides that "the County Clerk
of Multnomah County shall keep his
office in such rooms in any building at
the county seat which the County
Court may order; he shall keep his
offlc-e open for the transaction of busi
ness on every day. excepting Sundays,
New Year's day, Fourth of July, and
Christmas, from 8 o'clock in the fore
noon until 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
Such officer shall have power to take
and certify the proof and .acknowl
edgment of conveyances of real prop
erty, or of any other written instru
ments authorized or required to be
proved or acknowledged."
No reference is made in this section
of the code to clerks outside this coun
ty, and nothing is said about holidays
which might fall upon days other than
those named.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12. The war be

POINTS ON HORSE SHOW
NOTED RIDER CALLS ATTEN
TION' TO MISTAKES.
German Cavalry Instructor Ad
vances a Few Ideas for Benefit
of Similar Displays In Future.
At the Horse Show last week was a
certain ex-officer of the German Army
who was at one time Instructor of
horsemanship in the government school
for cavalry officers in Hanover, Ger
many. Besides having been a pupil of
James Fillls, De Bussigny, PUnzner and
Von Rosenberg, all famous in the
equestrian world across the water, the
ex-of fleer has himself ridden in over
700 steeplechases, was one of .the "win
ners in the most noted endurance race
ever known from Berlin to Vienna in
which he rode a horse of his own
training 375 miles in a little over 71
hours, and was also the winner of the
Queen's cup in 1902 in Italy against the
best riders of Europe. . ,
"Portlands first Horse Show was a
decided success." he said yesterday in
answer to a request for a criticism,
"and especially so under the difficulties
that were encountered and overcome.
"I have nothing but acTmiration for
the Hunt Club and its guests. Some of
the horses were splendid, the turnouts
correct, aand the horsemanship dis
played from the layman's view very
good. If I undertake to criticise any
thing, I have certainly not the inten
tion to hurt or to offend anybody, and
I am always more than willing "to ac
cept anybody else's judgment if he can
prove that he knows more than I do.
That a horse show may have an educa
tional influence, criticism by which one
can learn should be welcome.
"In my opinion saddle tandems, al
though very pretty and real high
school, belong to the society circus and
not to a horse show, where only such
horses should be shown as are used
for some practical purpose in. daily life.
Ornamental movements, the so-called
'high airs of the manege,' are, of course,
not essential in the education of saddle
horses for general purposes, but there
are many exercises, such as shoulder
in, travers, renvers, movements upon
two paths, wheels, pirouttes, voltes in
the different gaits and many others,
which are not only very Important but
absolutely necessary for the education
of any saddle horse. I think it there
fore necessary to require from saddle
horses a little more than only the
different gaits on straight paths; at
least backing and the simpler move
ments upon two paths. Fox Catcher
was a very good example for a horse
Once hats were hawked on the
streets, shoes were made by a
traveling shoe carpenter, gloves
and clothing all made to order
but that's ancient history.

that has not been suppled by means of

approach at a moderate gallop? then a
well-trained horse will jump anything
