MONSTER TACOMA SESSION
largest Gathering in History of As
sociation Cancellation of Order
Abuse Main Topic of Discus
sion Before the Meeting.
PORTLAND DELEGATES ACTIVE.
TACOMA. Wash., Feb. ST. (Spe
cial,) Portland boomers are much
in evidence at the lumberman's con
vention rounding up votes for that
city as the place of meeting In 1909.
Seattle may also be strong for the
convention In view of the Alaska
Yukon Exposition there. The Port
land delegation Is placarding every
delegate with Oregon flr badges,
however, and getting them lined up
for Portland.
TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 27. Never be
fore in the history of the lumber Indus
try has there been gathered at one meet
ing so great a representation of manu
facturers, wholesalers and retailers as
were present today when the Western
Retail Lumbermen's Association con
vened here in annual session. R. L. Mc
Cormick. of the Weyerhaeuser Lumber
Company, delivered the address of wel
come. He urged unity, continued unity
in, the lumbermen's fight against the rail
roads. The response of Rev. P. A. Simp
kin, of Salt Lake, was extremely witty.
He appealed for cleanly business meth
ods, healthy rivalry and honest actions.
George E. Merrill, of Salt Iake, presi
dent of tne association, then made an in
teresting address. He spoke in a gen
eral way about the advancement of the
association, telling of the connection with
the wholesalers and manufacturers. The
report of A. L. Porter, secretary and
treasurer, was brief, concise and well re
ceived. "When we met In Salt Lake, last
year,"ie sajd, "our membership num
bered 579 retail yards: during the year we
secured 120 new members and have lost,
mostly by reason of members selling oit,
40 yards, giving us at present a member
ship of 459 retail yards. This represents
over 90 per cent of all legitimate lumber
dealers In our territory."
Discuss Cancellation Abuse.
The receipts during the past year have
been J6658 and the disbursements 15483,
leaving a balance in the bank of J1176.
R. J. Menz, of Seattle, spoke upon
"Order of Responsibility and the Can
cellation Abuse." This was the only ad
dress upon a topic to be given during the
day. The discussion that followed the
reailJng of the paper proved that the
members were vitally interested in the
subject. Mr. Menz thought a solution, of
the matter lay in a majority decision of
three referees one to be selected by the
retailers' association, covering- the dis
trict In which the buyer's yard or office
is located, the second through either the
shippers' or the manufacturers' organiza
tion, covering the district In which the
seller's place of business is located; the
third to be appointed by the two referees
previously selected. The refusal of any
buyer or seller to submit the differences
to such referees shall be made known to
the members of each and every Interested
organization.
Committee to Review Subject.
j George W. Hopkins, secretary of the Il
linois Lumber Dealers Association; George
Birge, manager of the Southwestern
Washington Lumber Manufacturers'
Agency, E. D. Kingsley or Bridal Veil,
Or.; B. J. Cobb of the Lumber Review,
and W. J. Holli9 of Minneapolis, spoke
upon the subject, all agreeing that the
subject was too one-sided, and approving
the appointment of a committee to review
past cases and attempt a remedy.
On motion of Z. E. Hayden of Spokane,
the president will appoint such a com
mittee. Tonight the members were tendered an
Informal reception at the Tacoma Hotel.
Tomorrow addresses will be delivered
by R. W Douglass, Seattle; George M.
Cornwall, Portland; George H. Emerson,
Hoquiam, and E. D. Kingsley, Bridal
Veil, Or.

SALOON MEN Wlf FIGHT
SALEM COCNCIIj BACKS DOWN
ON HIGH LICENSE.
I
Capital City Liquor Interests Boy
cott "Booster" Fund and License
Tax Will Be Reduced. .
SALEM. Or., Feb. 27. (Special.) After
several days of vigorous work on the
part of the liquor dealers of Salem, dur
ing which a boycott was declared against
a member of the City Council and the
threat was made that aid would be re
fused to the Board of Trade "booster"
work, a compromise was reached today,
and It has been agreed that at the meet
ing of the City Council next Monday
evening the liquor license will be reduced
from $1000 to $600. This agreement, it is
announced, is in the interest of "har
mony." At a special meeting of the City Coun
cil last Friday night the liquor license
was raised from $400 to $1000. The saloon
proprietors did not like this and began
a battle for reduction.
Alderman Gideon Stolz was the only
member of the Council supporting the
increase who presented an easy oppor
tunity for attack and the liquor dealers
went after him in earnest. He owns the
controlling interest in the Stolz soda,
cider and vinegar factory, and the saloons
are extensive buyers of soda. They noti
fied Stolz that he could expect no more
business from them. -
Then the campaign for funds for adver
tiping the resources of Salem presented
another opportunity for' the l'quor deal
ers to make their views Impressive. When
the Board of Trade committeemen came
around with a subscription raper they
shook their heads and said they couldn"t
afford to pay JioOO license fees and also
subscribe to "booster" funds.
Then the parties interested began to
get together and consult. Negotiations
proceeded rather slowly at first, but soon
it was found that a majority of the
Councilmen had acknowledged that the
H0O0 license was too high. An under
standing that the amount shall be reduced
was reached and the boycott against Stolz
was called off.

Harrlman Promises to Aid
Advertising Campaign.
McMINNVILLB, Or.. Feb. 27. (Spe
cial.) The Yamhill Development As
sociation met here today for per
manent organization, and elected the
following officers: President. Millard
O. Lownsdale. of Lafayette: vice-president,
J. H. Eakln, of Sheridan: secre
tary, V. T. Macy, of McMinnvllle. und
treasurer, F. H. Caldwell, of New
berg. It was Impressed quite forcibly upon
the minds of the delegates present that
the organization was to aid the county
at large and not one special locality.
Km-h commercial hodv in the county
is entitled to representation upon !
asrreeine to contribute any sum what
ever each month, and one other dele- r
gate for each $j3 monthly contribu
tion to the advertising fund.
President Lownsdale Btated the mis
sion of the association quite concisely
when he said that the railroads and
financial interests wero watching "Old I
Yamhill" for signs of awakening life,
and that the immediate prosperity of
the whole Willamette Valley depend
ed In a measure upon the promptness
with which the people of this county
took hold Of the matter of bettering
their own condition. As Is well
known, horticulture is Mr. Lownsdale's
hoDby. and it is natural for him to
put into every speech some effective
wedges for the further opening of the
subject of orchards and their care.
But, while horticulture was the spe
cialty in some sections of the state,
this and adjoining counties could de
velop dairying and varied resources
along with fruit raising, and be at
the head' of the class in each. The
eye3 of the country, both East and
South, are upon Yamhill, the center of
this Western Paradise, and Mr. Lowns
dalo said that "by attending to our
own advertising and material ad
vancement we can whip our neighbor
ing counties Into line and the great
Willamette region will thus become
better known to the people who will
be desirable additions to our popula
tion." Advertising Agent Wells, of the
Harriman lines, was present and of
fered on behalf of his company some
very liberal propositions in the way
of advertising the county and distri
buting literature. It is expected that
when the local organizations through
out the county catch the enthusiasm
that Is manifesting its presence, that
the board of trustees will be greatly
Increased, since its numbers ' depend
somewhat upon the action of the sev
eral communities.
