LAND COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Texas Banker Also Tells of Benefits
Fort "Worth Has Derived From
Packing Plant.
That the Portland Commercial Club has
probably the handsomest quarters of any
similar club in America is the statement
of J". W. Spencer, president of the Farm
ers & Mechanics Bank. Fort Worth,
Texas, who was a guest of the club yes
terday. Mr. Spencer was the bead of
a party, which included bis own family.
After having been shown ' through the
Commercial Club rooms yesterday, he
expressed surprise at the comfortable
quarters and the prosperous conditions
here. He said:
I know of no mor Impressive Tlew any
where In the United States than that pre
sented from the balcony on the eighth
floor of the Commercial Club, embracing as
It does, the city, the valleys of the Willam
ette and the Columbia, and the surrounding
hills.
We are not going to have any Ions dura
tion of depressed finances, because there's
too much of value In the country to allow
anything of that kind, but I want to con
gratulate Portland upon having secured the
location of Swift & Company's packing
plant, and you may depend upon others fol
lowing. Both Swift & Company and Ar
mour & Company have made Fort Worth,
my home city, their packing center for what
we call the Southwest. That includes every
thing not controlled by St. Louis and Mis
souri River points.
Since the location of thesj packing plants.
Fort Worth has considerably more than
doubled In Its population, while Its business
Has Increased 300 per cent. It Is now a
great railroad center, 15 railroads branching
out in ail directions, and we are building
numerous electric lines, and just these
things are going to happen at- Portland.
I want to further congratulate you upon
the organization of your Country Club and
Livestock Association. No other events
bring so many people together at one time
In the entire South as the State Fair held
In our sister city of Dallas, and the great
livestock shows held in Fort Worth. You
want lots of transportation facilities be
tween the city and the grounds. Every
merchant, every farmer, every stockgrower.
and everybody in Portland, Oregon, Wash
ington, and all of this section of the United
States and Southern Canada, is Interested
In a great livestock market, and it is just
as necessary to have the spectacular part of
it through the Country Club and Livestock
Show as it is to have the packing houses.
Realism Is Carried
Too Far
Lonsdale Gets Blank Charge From
Gun Full In Face at Marquam
Theater Performance.
SOMETHING not down on the pro
gramme of "The Spoilers" perform
ance at the Marquam Monday and some
thing wrong with the programme that was
printed for distribution are of more than
passing interest. The former occurred
when Philip Sheffield, who plays the
"Broncho Kid" fired point-blank into the
face of H. G. Lonsdale, who appears as
Struve, the drunken lawyer. In the play
the Kid is supposed to kill Struve, all
right, but in his excitement Sheffield for
got the stage trick of shooting high and
plugged squarely at his man. Of course
it was a blank charge, but a blank car
tridge at close range, exploded directly
in one's face, is no picnic. Mr. Lonsdale
was picked -up unconscious after the cur
tain rang down and today bears a badly
disfigured face.
The second untoward incident was the
programmer's error in ascribing the part
of Cherry Malotte. which is delightfully
acted, to Frances McLeod, who is not now
with the company, instead of Susanne
W'illa, a charming young actress who has
visited Portland before, recently with
Florence Roberts.
INTEREST IN GOOD ROADS
W. K. Newell Makes Suggestions for
Convention August 1 1 .
Much interest has been aroused in the
good roads convention to be. held at the
Commercial Club on August 11 and Wil
bur K. Newell, president of the State
Board of Horticulture, has written a let
ter that is full of suggestions on this
subject. He suggests that each of the
commercial organizations throughout the
state should appoint two or more dele
gates who will be sure to attend the
gathering. He asks that. these men be
such as are interested in the good roads
movement and will take the time to be
present at the conference. He further
suggests that each County Judge and
County Commissioner be invited and that
each County Judge be asked to name five
or ten delegates from his county.
Mr. Newell says the Grange should be
asked to aid the good roads movement
in every way and that each grange
should have one or more delegates pres
ent. Mr. Newell also suggests that
President Campbell, of the State Univer
sity, and President Kerr of the Oregon
Agricultural College, together with the
Board of Regents, should be in attend
ance and makes many other suggestions
besides which will be carried out.

MUST ACCOUNT FOR BONDS
Governor Durkee's Heirs Sue Har
riman and His Roads.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 14. A suit
involving J36.050.000 worth of bonds,
with interest, was filed in the United
States Circuit Court here today by the
estate of the late Charles Durkee. a
former Governor of Utah, against the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific
and subsidiary companies, the Central
Trust Company of New York, Farmers'
Trust Company of New York and E. H.
Harriman. The plaintiffs ask the court
to require the Southern Pacific Com
pany and others named in the suit to
make an accounting, and also that a
receiver be appointed for the holdings
of. the defendants.
Governor Durkee was Chief Execu
tive of the Territory of Utah in 1865.
It is alleged in the complaint that dur
ing the period of construction of the
Union Pacific Railroad he- acquired
9,000,030 worth of construction bonds,
and that later he took $27,000,003 of
the first mortgage bonds. The plain
tiffs say no accounting was made for
these bonds. It is alleged the claim
of Governor Durkee to the bonds was
acknowledged by C. J. Folger, a former
Secretary of the Treasury. Another
charge is that an effort to defraud
Mr. Durkee out of a just claim was made
when the Union Pacific Railway was
merged Into the Union Pacific Railroad
Company.

sively by Frank C. Wasserman, a 32d de

MILNER REFUSES WARRANT
Declines to Cause Arrest of Deputy
Sheriffs Kelly, Bulger and Bird,
John Milner. clerk of the Municipal
Court has refused to issue a war
rant for the arrest of Deputy Sheriffs
Kelly, Bulger and Bird at the request
of Mrs. J. Danthoff, an elderly woman
who runs a grocery store on the East
Side at Union avenue and Vvashington
street. She is willing to swear to a
complaint that the officers attacked
her a month ago. She declares that
during the early part of June the above
named deputies went into her store to
serve attachment papers on her for
alleged failure to pay a gas bill. Ac
cording to the woman and her wit
nesses two of the deputies threw her
on the floor without provocation and
manacled her. She says she was re
leased after her cash register had been
taken away by the deputies. With
tears in her eyes the woman went to
the office of Judge Van Zandt's clerk
and pleaded for a warrant. Milner,
however, refused to give the woman
the warrant and advised her to go to a
lawyer.
SAYS BRYAN WILL WIN
Congressman Sulzer, of Sew York,
Visits Portland.
Congressman William Sulzer, of New
York, thinks Bryan has good chances
for election in November. Congress
man Sulzer is a Democrat and may be
Influenced in his prediction by that
fact. However, he thinks the chances
of the Commoner are better than they
ever were.
The New York Congressman and his
wife were in Portland for a few hours
yesterday en' route to Alaska. He also
visited Portland during the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, and yesterday
noticed a great growth and develop
ment of the city since that time.
Mr. Sulzer bases his prediction on
Bryan's success on alleged dissensions
in the Republican ranks. In view of
these dissensions, he said, Ohio and
other Republican states go for Bryan.

yesterday afternoon before Judge Gan
tenbein in the Circuit Court. She said

TOO LUTE fOR
DROUGHT CUTS DOWN CROPS
ALONG COLUMBIA.
In Sherman and Wasco Counties,
However, Situation Has Been Re
lieved by Recent Downfall.
Reports received by the railroad
companies from the tier of counties
lying south of the Columbia River show
that the wheat yield there will be much
shorter than last year's crop, due to
the long drought during the Spring
months. Rain which has fallen in this
district during the past few days came
too late, it is said, to be of assistance
in saving the crop.
Morrow County, always a large
wheat-growing district, reports that
the dry weather and the warm winds
have been disastrous to crops. Many
fields are said to be hardly worth cut
ting. It is estimated the yield of grain
will be about 45 per cent of the normal
crop.
Reports from Gilliam County show
that Spring wheat and barley have been
damaged about 60 per cent, while loss
to Fall wheat Is about 20 per cent.
The crop situation there Is unchanged.
Crop prospects have slightly im
proved in Sherman County since the
last report from that section on ac
count of the light rains Sunday and
Monday and cool north winds. A strip
along the east side of the county, how
ever, about three miles wide, ,is consid
ered utterly destroyed. Much of the bal
ance of the crop, particularly the early
sown grain, will make from 75 to 90
per cent of a normal yield. It is
thought that on the whole, the outlook
is good for 60 per cent of last year's
crop throughout the county.
An electric storm the first of the
week in Wasco County, accompanied
by rain, has relieved the situation there
somewhat. It came too late, however,
to be of any material help to Fall
grain, but will assist the Spring wheat
somewhat. From half a crop of Spring
grain to three-fourths of a crop of Fall
wheat is expected in Wasco.
CHANGES IN RURAL ROUTES
Service From Barton and Orient Is
Transferred to Boring.
Barton rural free delivery route, No. 2.
will be transferred to Boring on August
1. The order has been made by the Post
office Department in order to facilitate
the delivery of mails to the patrons of
that route. Orient route was also or
dered thransferred to Boring and the
office at Orient will probably be discon
tinued as Postmaster Campbell has sig
nified his intention to resign.
With the transfer of the rural route
from Orient, the star route to that office
will cease and the few remaining patrons
of the office will be served by Route No.
2. from Gresbam. Barton will still have
one rural route left but it is highly prob
able that it will be transferred to Eagle
Creek and then Barton will also be dis
continued. There is an evident Inten
tion on the part of the Department to
consolidate the different routes more
closely and maintain fewer postoffices.
Other changes of a like nature are under
way in other localities near Gresham.
