SCOPE OF
Commercial Club Will Increase
Its Fund for Advertising
Oregon in the East.
ALL INTERESTS TO HELP
Executive Committee Frames Circu
lar Letter Setting Forth Plans
and Calling for Subscriptions.
Tells Success ot Past Work.
Publicity work by the Portland Com
mercial Club during the past year in ad
vertising the State of Oregon and the
City of Portland was so systematically
and intelligently done that the executive,
committee, at its meeting held yesterday
afternoon, decided not only to continue
the plans now In operation, but greatly
to enlarge the scope of the work.
In order to provide the necessary funds
to carry out the elaborate scheme of pro
motion outlined by Manager Richardson,
the committee authorized the issuance of
a circular letter to be addressed to the
financial, manufacturing, mercantile and
shipping interests of the city, m which
the purposes of the plan should be given,
a summary of the work already done and
a request made for additional financial
support.
The members of the committee, who
are among the leading business men of
the Coast, expressed entire satisfaction
with the manner in which the work had
been carried on, and are heartily In favor
of Increasing the amount raised last year
for publicity and colonization efforts. Mr.
Richardson said last night that all the
business men talked to on the subject
willingly agreed to stay on the list of
monthly subscribers and .that a large
number either doubled or materially in
creased the amount of their subscriptions.
At the meeting of the committee, held
at the offices of Theodore B. Wilcox, all
the members were present with the ex
ception of I. N. Fleischner, who was ab
sent from the city. The following were
present: Theodore B. Wilcox. William M.
I.add, A. U Mills, Robert IJvlngstone,
T. D. Honeyman, J. C. Alnsworth, J.
Frank Watson and Walter F. Burrell.
Funds All Spent on Promotion Work
A report was received from William K.
McKenzie, expert accountant, in which
he certified to having checked the ac
counts of the promotion fund handled
by the executive committee of the club,
and reported them correct, with the fol
lowing notation:
It may be worthy of note at this time
to state that no expenditures nave been
made except for actual promotion work,
and that no salaries or expenses have been
paid to any member of the committee with
the exception of the manager. All bills
for disbursements are approved by the
chairman before being paid.
Mr. Wilcox reported that he had ad
vised Governor Chamberlain that the
15000 prize contest of the club had termi
nated on December 31. 1907, and requested
the Governor to name the three Judges
to determine the awarding of the 80
prizes, these appointments to be made
absolutely without conference with, any
club official or member.
It Is not known exactly how many ar
tlcleg have been filed in this contest, for
the reason that during the past month
the submitted articles have been deposit'
ed each week in a safety deposit vault
without keeping a record of the number.
It was also decided that the committee
would submit no publications containing
articles that carried a date later than
December 31, although' Beveral are now
at the Commercial Club, printed in news
papers Issued since the first of the year.
Sending Out New Tear's Oregon lans
In addition to the advertising litera
ture referred to in the committee's cir
cular letter, the office force Is busily
engaged in sending out 100,000 copies
of the New Year number of The Ore
fronian, which contains many pages de
voted to the farm and orchard prod
ucts of the state. These papors are
distributed also to the 74 commercial
bodies of the league, which clubs send
them to their correspondents upon in
quiry. '
The club has arranged a contract
with Mrs. Frances K. Headlee, in
charge of the Information Bureau of
the North Pacific, at Los Angeles, to
represent this state. The contract calls
for the display and distribution of lit
erature regarding Oregon in railroad
and steamship lines, offices and other
public places, and for a dally illustrat
ed lecture In the Chamber of Commerce
where the audiences are largely busi
ness men and tourists from the East
and South.
About four months ago the executive
committee voted an Increase of salary
to Tom Richardson, manager, from
$6000 to J7500 a year, to go into effect
January 1 of this year. At the meeting
of the executive committee yesterday,
Mr. Richardson told the committee that
he Intended to pay into the advertising
fund this year 3125 a month, the
amount of the Increase. Several mem
bers of the committee advised against
this action by Mr. Richardson, but he
adhered to his determination, saying
all his Interests are now centered In
Portland and Oregon, and he desired to
do his personal share toward upbuild
ing the state.
The circular letter of the executive
committee reads:
Circular Letter of Committee.
PORTLAND. Or., Jan. 22. 190S.
The executive committee of the Portland
Commercial Club was organized in May.
1!4. and has had full charge of the fund
whtrh has been expended in advertising the
resources of Oregon, aud in handling rthe
correspondence resulting therefrom.
The committee -has devoted Its principal
attention to the development of the natural
resources of the State and to the bringing
In of desirable population. It has co-operated
with the Oregon Development League,
composed of the commercial bodies, of seventy-seven
wide-awake Oregon communities,
which well represent all portions of the.
State
There will he no cessation In this com
mittees work, but In connection with the
Oregon Development League and with all
I'ortions of the Northwest, we feel that the
time hn arrived when this city should have
a well-equipped press bureau, and that a
character of high-grade, artistic advertis
ing, showing the special attractions of Port
land and Oregon be circulated, not only
threunh the I'nlted States, but In other
countries.
High-class. Illustrated advertising Is ex
pend e. its distribution also costs money,
but that It pays has been' proved by many
communities The future of this city is as
sured, but through the activity of the people
It can be made to grow as much In ten
years as It ordinarily would In twenty years,
and there is no good reason why there
should be any let-up In the development of
Portland as the result of Wall street panics.
Presidential year, or for any otber cauy.
for there has never been a time In tha his
tory of the Pacific Northwest when the ae
tlvttles of th lumber Interests and the
WDEN
ROM MM
PHYSICIANS DISCUS
Cooper's Views of Human , Stomach Noted
by Medical Men.
A recent article In the New Orleans
Item gives an account of tbe effect
upon the medical profession of that
city wiih regard to L. T. Cooper's
theory that the human stomach Is re
sponsible for most 111 health. The arti
cle is as follows:
"The astonishing- sale of Cooper's
preparation In this city has now
reached, such immense figures that the
medical fraternity have been forced
Into open discussion of the man's
theories and medicines.
"The physicians seem to be divided
with regard to the young man's suc
cess In New Orleans some being will
ing to credit him for what he has ac
complished, while others assert that
the interest he has aroused is but a
passing fad that will die out as quick
ly as It has sprung up.
"In a statement recently obtained
from a well-known physician of this
city, the position of those In favor of
Cooper Is well voiced. The doctor said:
1 am not a believer In proprietary
medicines, but I must admit that some
proceeds of the crops of the farmer, the
fruitgrower and tbe dairyman will afford
as much money In the entire Northwest as
will come here during 1908.
Visitors Always Increasing.
For several months past the hotels have
been crowded. The number of people visiting-
the Pacific Northwest is constantly upon
the Increase. Portland Is each year adding
many thousands to her population, and Ore
gon la rapidly becoming known as having
the best Summer climate in the United
States. ;
The railroads reported 27.213 people arriv
ing in March and April, September and Oc
tober, 1907, or 227 people a day for this
period of four months, as a result of the
colonist rates, and by reading the daily
papers we are familiar with this remark
able one-way travel, a great majority of it
remaining as permanent residents. This
travel will begin again March 1 of this
year.
The committee desires to asknowledge the
obligation due the newspapers of Portland
and Oregon for helping along this work, for
without such hearty co-operation as we have
received on every hand, little good would
have resulted. We send all the papers of
Washington and Oregon a weekly letter, and
the clippings that xve have received from
this source during the last year' fill more
than a thousand pages 10x14 Inches, and as
a matter of fact, do not get one-half of the
matter that Is printed.
The business men and people of Port
land circulated 75O.000 leaflets In their cor
respondence last year ,to every portion of
the United States, as well as other coun
tries. Every one carried special emphasis
on the colonist rate, and the half million
that will be used In the Spring campaign
of the present year are now being prepared
and will soon be calling attention to the
low rates prevailing between March 1 and
April 30.
The press bureau work of the club Is al
ready quite extensive, as articles are being
supplied to numerous publications, while
stories of news value, giving facts of im
portance, have been published in hundreds
of papers, and this has been particularly
true of the country papers In the older
states. Our advertising in agricultural pa
pers and the weekly editions of the large
city papers has met with remarkable suc
cess, and 17.000 Inquiries coming through
this source have been supplied to all the
77 organisations now composing the Oregon
Development League. When one understands
that more than one-half of these commer
cial bodies are replying to these inquiries.
It shows an extraordinary circulation of
Oregon literature.
As a "direct result of the work of the
Oregon Development League, over $100. 000
has been raised by commercial bodies
throughout the State to be expended In
advertising, and some of the communities
are spending a very much larger sum pro
portionately than Is Portland. Astoria Is
carrying on an especially active campaign,
and Coos Bay and its active towns are doing
their part. The same is true with Ash
land, Medford and Grants Pass In Southern
Oregon. Eugene. Salem. Hood River. Cor
vallls. Baker City. The Dalles and many of
the smaller places.
Carry on Work on Larger Scale.
The great activity of the past year In
real estate, the unprecedented amount of
new building In every city and town, the
metropolitan crowds of people on the streets
of Portland, the scarcity of houses not
wlthtsandlng the creat number built last
year, the better sidewalks and streets, and
the general prosperity of the Northwest,
have all been contributed to largely by the
work of the Commercial Club and Oregon
Development League, and we want to keep
all of this work going, and to carry it on
on a mdeh larger scale than formerly. We
have arranged to retain our resent man
ager, Tom Richardson, for the year 1908,
with W. L. Crlssey as assistant.
The committee's fund was supported for
the first year by 30 subscribers; the next
year a few more came in; now there are
lltt names on the subscription list, which
Is a very small portion of our community
directly beneflted by the committee's work.
After going over the work thoroughly in all
Its details, the members of the committee
are unanimously of the opinion that Port
land. Or., and the Pacific Northwest have
received far greater benefit than many times
the expenditure, and we should have not
less than 500 subscribers In order to pro
vide funds for contemplated increase in
work.
The committee asks the co-opratlon of
the financial, commercial, industrial, and
property-owning interests of the city. We
want to advertise Portland more exten
sively than heretofore, and we want to
keep up the good work in the development
of Oresron and the Pacific Northwest.
During the next few days we intend to
ask. for additional monthly subscriptions,
and we expect a liberal response.

TROUBLE FOR GAS OCTOPUS
St. John Lighting Company Asks for
Portland Franchise.
Application tor a franchise to operate
in Portland was made at yesterday's ses
sion of the City Council by the St. John
Gas Light & Heattnp Company. The ap
plication was referred to the streets
committee. It will be considered there
in the usual routine, and the committee
will then report to the Council.
The company sets forth in its petition
that it will have a plant sufficient to
give good service to a large district, and
that It will Increase its output and fur
nish gas to both St. John and Portland,
If the franchise Is granted. It offers to
put up a good bond to secure the city
and to complete 3200.000 worth of work
within the corporate limits within six
months after the franchise becomes ef
fective. It la proposed to furnish first
class ...umlnating gas at 90 cents per
1000 cubic feet.

NEW THEORY
of the facts recently brought to my
attention concerning this Cooper medi
cine have gone far toward removing
the prejudice I had formed against
them when I first heard of Cooper's
new ideas and medicines.
"'Numbers of my patients whom I
have treated for chronic liver, kidney
and stomach troubles have met me and
stated that Cooper's medicine has ac
complished wonderful results for them.
I notice particularly in cases of stom
ach trouble that the. man has relieved
several cases that were of years'
standing and proved very obstinate to
treatment
"I do not wish to stand In the way
of something that may be for the pub
lic good, simply through professional
prejudice, -and I am Inclined to give
Cooper and his preparations credit as
deserving to some extent the popular
demonstration that has been accorded
them in this city.'
We sell the Cooper medicines. They
are proving remarkably successful
throughout the entire United States.

LOXE STREETACK EMPIOITE
SAYS HE WORE MASK.
Arthur Swanson Accused of Trying
to Board Car, But Protests
His Innocence.
Arthur Swanson, 24 years old, was ar
rested this morning after 1 o'clock for
what is believed toy Fred Loy, night fore
man of the car -house of the Portland
Railway Company, to have been an at
tempt to hold up a streetcar at Union
avenue and Going,- street. Loy was in
charge of the last car on the Alberta
line, the rew .-having gone home, and
alone he was running it into the barn
for the night.
At Going street Loy asserts that Swan
son ran out from the sidewalk and with
a black mask covering his face attempt
ed -to board the car. Loy ran the car at
full speed and the man was struck and
knocked down. Two blocks further
down Union avenue Loy reported the
facts to Policeman H. Adams, who re
turned with him In the car to where the
man lay. Loy was positive that Swan
son had worn a mask and believed that
his effort to get on the car was nothing
more nor less than an attempt to hold
him up.
Swanson, however, when examined,
had no weapon, and no mask about his
person. He stoutly denied the charge
and said that' he had been drinking- a
little more than he should and did not
notice that the car was not for pas
sengers or that it was going- in the op
posite direction from that in which he
lived. Loy demanded that the man be
locked up and took him and the police
man in the car to the police station.
Here Swanson said that he lived-at Sec
ond and Couch streets, that he was a
steamboat employe and that Loy must
have been badly frightened to Imagine
that he had worn a mask or was a
holdup man. Swanson had $64.15 on
his person.
PLAN PUBLIC WORKHOUSE
Council Will Investigate Prisoners'
Aid Society Scheme.
A public workhouse project, a reform
measure brought forward and strongly
advocated by the Prisoners' Aid Society,
will receive attention by the City Coun
cil now, a resolution having been passed
by that body at its session yesterday
afternoon, authorizing Mayor Lane to
name a committee of three to confer with
the County Court. The committee will
be named soon, after which action will
be taken.
It Is the desire of the Prisoners' Aid
Society to secure the establishment of a
workhouse as a means of solving the
difficult problems Involved in handling
the criminal element. That this la a
better means to the desired end than an
Increased number of jails is the convic
tion of those who have made the matter
a subject of much investigation.
When the City Council took up the
matter of? a proposed city and county
jail the officials of the aid society be
came Interested to the extent that they
sent in a communication to the Council,
asking that something be done looking
toward the establishment of a public
workhouse. As a direct result, the. com
mittee of three has been authorized.
