East Siders Give Reasons for
Seeking Its Removal to
Portland.
MUST BUILD SOON ANYWAY
Public Convenience and Lack of
Accommodations a Salem Chief
Arguments Made In Be-
i
half of Movement.
Necessity for a new building, lack of
accommodations for legislators at Salem
and the public convenience are the prin
cipal reasons that will be urged by the
East Siders for the proposed removal of
the stato capital from Salem to Port
land. Through the agency of the asso
ciated push clubs of the East Side signa
tures are being obtained to petitions pro
posing the submission to the voters In
November. 1310. of a constitutional amend
ment authorizing the transfer of the seat
of state government from its present loca
tion at Salem to this city. "With the
support this movement will receive from
the people of Eastern and Southern Ore
gon as well as the West Side counties,
the Bast Side business Interests expect
not only to have the question submitted to
the people but to have the proposal ratified
by a large majority of the voters at the
next general election.
"There are several good reasons why
the state capital should be removed from
Salem to Portland." said Fred A. Dun
ham yesterday. "In the first place Port
land Is the most central point in the state
and is the natural objective point of the
people both of Eastern and Southern Ore
gon. Secondly, Salem does not have the
necessary accommodations for the legisla
tors. In the third place, the Statehouse
as it stands today is a very dilapidated
structure and from what I am told by
those acquainted with the facts, will have
to be rebuilt in a very few years as it
Is positively unsafe for Its present uses.
Besides, the feeling Is very general
throughout the state that the capital
should be at Portland. This is particu
larly true among the people of Eastern
and Southern Oregon and those residing
In the West Side counties."
"There are several valid reasons why
the state capital should be brought to
Portland from Salem." said M. B. Mc
Faul. another East Side business man,
yesterday. "Above all other considera
tion?. Portland would be much more con
venient location. Members of the leg
islature and all others residing either in
Eastern Oregon or the West Side coun
ties, having business at the capital, are
now obliged, first to come to this city
anyway and then Indulge in a side trip
to Salem, involving not only loss of
time but great inconvenience.
"What is more, there are not suffi
cient accommodations at Salem for mem
bers of the Legislature and others who
are called to that city during a session
of the Legislature. Visitors to the capital
on such occasions are forced to eat their
meals at one place and room in another.
Because of these conditions, members of
the Legislature are not able to take their
families to Salem with them. Further
more when any unusual delegation goes
to the capital during a session of the
lawmakers it is impossible for them to
secure desirable accommodations even
with private families.
"We realize that the proposed removai
of the capital is an Important matter and
should be acted upon with discretion.
Such action necessarily will Involve con
siderable expense but at the same time
It must be remembered that it will be
only a few years at most until it will
be necessary to replace the present State
house. That being the fact, we believe
It is only timely that we should propose
some plan by which a permanent and
convenient location may be secured.
There is no desire on our part purposely
to harm Salem in any way but this is
a matter that concerns the general con
venience of the entire state and the peo
ple have a constitutional right to ex
press themselves on It. All we ask is
that the question of location be left to the
people. If a majority decides that the
capital should remain n : 1 . ii i i -
but should a majority favor 'our plan",
of course, we will be pleased to get the
capital."
It Is the opinion of B. E. Kennedy,
editor and publisher of the Baker City
Herald, who is at the Imperial, that
the people of Eastern Oregon would be
practically a unit in their support of the
proposed change of location in the state
capital to this city. Discussing the sub
ject yesterday. Mr. Kennedy spoke of the
great inconvenience experienced by the
people of the eastern part of the state In
going from their , homes to Salem.
ASK REMOVAL OF COURTHOUSE
East Side Business Men Circulate
Petitions for New Building.
Secretary Atchley. of the East Side
Business Men's Club, has furnished a
number of the members with Initiative
petitions providing? for a vote on the
location of the Courthouse on the East
Side. November. 1910, and the circula
tion of these petitions is now going
forward. It is expected to secure 3000
signatures within the present month,
w-hen the petitions will be checked up
and filed with the Secretary of State
which action is expected to put a stop
to the proceedings started for the re
building of the Courthouse on the pres
ent Bite.
The petitions were drawn up by W S
TJ'Ren at the request of F. A. Dunham!
There was some question whether the
Initiative law could apply to such a
question as to locating the Courthouse,
but Mr. Dunham says that, after care
ful consideration and consultation with
Mr. U'Ren, he came to the conclusion
that it was a proper subject for the
people to vote on.
The petitions ask that the present
site and Courthouse be sold at public
auction and the proceeds be used to
purchase a site and put up a Court-
house on the East Side, without speci
fying any particular location. It also
provides that the County Court shall
make no further levy for building a
Courthouse or adding to the present
one. The new Courthouse, if author
ized by a vote on the first Monday in
November. 1910. shall be completed De
cember 31. 1912. The petition does
not provide for any special tax levy
to build the Courthouse, should it be
located on the East Side, and it ap
pears to be assumed that enough
money can be realized from the sale of
the present block and building to buy
a new site and erect a new building.
It is said a suitable block can be
purchased for $50,000. J. II. Nolta, of
North Alblna, said he would be satis
fled to see the new Courthouse built on
Holladay avenue, where a half block
recently brought $30,000 and is now
.held for $50,000. The main purpose of
circulating the petition now is to fore-

people of Ireland. He was later at Wales
loading wi;h railroad iron for America
when twelve of the crew died with cholera
and four survived.
Another incident ho related to but few.
for the reason there was attached a long
story, was the detaining of his merchant
man at Havana and the thrusting of the
crew in the bastile of iloro Castle by the
Spanish Armada, who were guarding the
coast of Cuba from some individual
Americans, whd had previously made an
unsuccessful attack. The incident went
into history at the time when President
Fillmore, many weeks later, demanded
the release of the innocent sailors.
"Jack" was well-read and his well
stored mind was remarkably lucid to the
time of death. During the Spanish war,
"Jack" one day discussed the Ceverea
fleet and his keen brown eyes snaooed
with rage when he said. "You cannoc (

The Cuba affair later broke the Maine
lad's spirit of adventure and he returned
home to his mother and took her advice
and learned the trade of tanner and
currier.
Thirty years ago "Jack" came to Gold
endale to cook for Martin Harper in tha
Palace Hotel, since burned, then con
sidered a mint, as the patronage clime
from the overland stage that ran from
The Dalles to Ellensburg before the rail
roads were constructed. For the last
twenty-five years "Jack" has owned va

dinner that "Jack" has prepared in his
better days for the Klickitat press, wnich

"Jack's" avoirdupois' from his advent In
Klickitat was over 250. which made him
the heaviest man in the county. Gener

him comparatively penniless.

THAT the gentle thug, like unto

the following hint as to how they
should be treated. A wise person from
across the "big pond" writes to the
New York Sun, and says that it Is quite
unnecessary ti obey command, "Hands'

but somehow it hardly seems compati
ble with Western customs.
"The stories of 'holdups always
amuse me. I say to the American man:
Carry a cane and have some elemen

sword or fencing- play; then you will
never be attacked by the man with the
gun. The man with the gun in East
ern cities can't use his gun he's afraid
of it, and if you can use your cane you
can break his wrist before he's ready
to start firing. I was in Chicago short
ly after the World's Fair when the
town was considered bad. My business
kept me out late at night. I had to
walk through a very bad and tough
part of town very late at night. I
was never attacked or held up. and if
a man had come at me with a revolver
I should have killed him with a stroke

First Congregational Church and at

ture at the First Presbyterian Church,
to which no admission fee will be
charged.
. While In Portland Dr. Grenfell will
be entertained at the home of W. A.
MacRae, manager cf the Bank of Cali
fornia. If he arrives In time Tuesday
he will partake.with a number of Port
land business men. of an informal
luncheon at noon.
Dr. Grenfell comes to Portland from
San Francisco, where he was enter
tained by William H. Crocker, presi
dent of the Crocker National Bank.
The Outlook sa.ys of him:
For the first time, so far as we know,
the Klnjr of England has given one of
the "Birthday Honors" to a man as a
reward for heroic missionary work. It
Is true that tho man could hardly be
regarded as a conventional missionary,
for Dr. Grenfell. who is now a Com
panion of St. Michael and St. Georjte,
fills many offices on the Labrador
Coast.
He is surgeon, master mariner, mag
istrate, agtnt of the Lloyds In running
down rascals who wreck their vexsels
for the insurance, manager of a string
of co-operative stores, general op
ponent of all fraud and oppression.
He can amputate a leg. contract the
walls of a pleuritic lung by shorten
ing the ribs or cure, by the use of
modern methods, but with home-made
appliances, a man suffering with a cer
tain form of paralysis of the lower
limbs; a hundred and fifty miles from
the shipyard he can raise the stern of
his little iron steamer out of the water
toy the rough application of the prin
ciples of hydraulic, and repair her
propeller, he can handle dynamite and
blast out an excavation under one of
Ills simple hospital buildings in which
to place a heating apparatus: he can
start a lumber mill and toacli the
starvlns: Inhabitants of lonelv Labrador
not only how to handle a saw. but how
to sell the product for a living wage;
he can establish co-operative stolen,
and. what is better, make them pay. so
that tho.se fishermen who have prac
tically been slaves to unscrupulous
traders, never seeing the smallest piece
of silver from one year's end to an
other, can accumulate their little sav
ings In cash; and he has a "muscular
Christianity" that enables him to knock
down and drasr out the human beast
that comes into Labrador to add the
Illicit whisky bottle to- the other
sources of suffering which the inhabi
tants have to endure.
He takes hta new honor with a char
acteristic Rulrlt for he values it, not
as a tribute to himself personally, but
as a sanction which will give him
power in his struggle with unscrupu
lous traders, heartless dealers In rum.

on that coast easy prey and safe Quarters.
