"What's the difference between Port
land and a crab?" A crab goes back
ward. This conundrum and Its answer, printed
on the menu card, coritectly describes the
go-ahead spirit manifested at the "500 -000
dinner" at the Portland Commercial
Club last nlRht. The dinner was the
opening pin of a vigorous campaign of
the city that will be waged today bv com
mittees representing the Commercial Club
for subscriptions to a fund of 1100,000
annually for publicity work for the en
suing two years. Enthusiasm of the
quality which makes for results was in
evidence throughout the programme,
which repeatedly aroused hearty applause
from the 820 men, representing every
branch of the business life of the city,
who were gathered around the banquet
table. ,
Beginning early this morning, commit
tees will begin a systematic campaign of
the city for subscriptions to the publicity
fund of the commercial organisation
under whose auspices the dinner was
given.
The canvass of the city, which will be
gin this morning, wni bo continued dally
until every public-spirited citizen has
been given an opportunity to contribute
his mite toward making "greater Port
land." Tliu various soliciting committees
win report at 8 o'clock every night at the
Cmnmereliil ..ub to a general committee,
consisting of seven members, which will
have entire charge of the money-raising
programme. The members of that com
mittee are: O. F. Johnson, F. B. Hol
hrook, Walter Goss, Frank Kerr, M. G.
Munly, George W. Simons and Ed Drake.
"500,000 in 1012," Slogan.
"Five Hundred Thousand in 1912"
was the password of the boosters there
was no room for knockers. The spirit
of optimism, with which the meeting was
charged, found expression In live and
catchy signs with which the walls of
the banquet hall were decorated. Along
one side of the room was a streamer
with the inscription: "We Are Boosters;
Half a Million in 1913500.000." Ot.ier
equally pertinent quotations were:
"Build and Boost." "Five Hundred
Thousand Noses to Smell Portland
Roses." "Boosting Portland Builds Your
Business."
Other' clever advertising' features were
presented in the way of . stereopticon
slides. Some of the more pertinent mes
sages, relating to conditions In this city
In 1912 with a half million population,
were: "Sixteen tunnels under the Wil
lamette, and still the people cry for
more." "Six hundred thousand when the
Canadian Pacific comes In five years."
"From tonight on no more knockers all
boosters." "A block of Portland prop
erty sold for 3.000.000 in 1912." "We don't
care who will be Mayor; boost the state,
that Is our slate." "Tacoma claims to be
IVrtland's largest suburb. S ee us crow
ing.' " "Hourly airship connections with
an tne worlds centers."
Message From Admiral Evans.

LONDON, March 23. Lieutenant E. H.

mander of the Antarctic expedition,
which returned on the barkentlne Nim
rod to Invercargill. N . z.. todav suc
ceeded in getting within 111 miles of the
South Pole. ,
The Nimrod expedition left England In
July. 1907, and after reaching the Ice
fields and making elaborate prepara
tions, the main expedition started on a
sledge journey that occupied 126 days
and traversed 1708 miles southward. The
explorers reached latitude 8S:26 and
longittude 162 east.
At the highest the land was 9000 feet
in aiuiuae, trending southward In a vast
field of snow, no mountains being In
sight.
A second party pushed forward to the
southern magnetic pole, at latitude 72:25,
longitude 154 east. The British flag was
left flying at both points. The ascent of
Mount Erebus was accomplished with
difflcul.y and geological discoveries of
great importance were made. The re
sults attained have thrown much light
on the history of the Antarctic region..
The expedition suffered no loss of life.
Surpasses Feat of Discovery.
Lieutenant Shackleton of thi Ttriti.U
navy- left hi- permanent quarters last
Autumn for a dash to the South Pole
and has succeeded after an arduous sledge
journey of 1708 miles, which occupied 126
days, in reaching 364 miles nearer the pole
man me point attained by the Discovery
expedition, of which he was an officer.
As the expedition to the south was un
dertaken rather for. the purpose of geo
graphical survey than with the idea of
reaching the pole itself, It may be said
to have succeeded beyond the most san
guine expectations.
Shackelton made some departures
from the usual preparations for a jour
ney across the snow and ice. He took
with him a motor car, which could be
converted into a sledge and substi
tuted ponies for dogs and light woolen
clothing for heavy clothes.
Great Deeds Accomplished.
Summarized, the results of the ex
pedition are that a point was reached
within 111 miles ot the South Pole;
that the magnetic pole also wac
reached; eight mountain" chainswere
discovered, and 100 mountains.

considerable movement in this stock at

The greater activity was in the preferred
stock, which .advanced to $89.62',4.
This condition of the market caused a
rumor to be circulated that an .arrange
ment had been reached between the Home
Telephone and the Pacific by which there
would be no damaging competition be
tween the two corporations. This arrange
ment, it was suggested, ran to territory
business and rates, or what J. Pierpont
Morgan calls "community of Interests,"

reached. '

CLEVELAND. March 23.-"I am the one
who planned the whole thing; there will
be trouble for me and hell in Sharon to
morrow." These words, spoken to Captain of
Police Shattuck today by a woman he
had arrested in company with a man on
suspicion of being implicated in the kid
naping of Willie Wl'itla. of Sharon. O..
have stirred the police to new efforts to
run down the band who stole the lad
away from his school. While the police
were at first inclined to think that their
prisoners, who carried the sum of $99S9
un tnem. were the entire klrinnnin,
Bang, the woman's words are regarded
as a uireat. and the police now think
that possibly one or two other members
of the gang are. still at large, and that
revenge for the capture of the ring-

Boy Will Be Guarded.
Extra precautions to guard the Whitia
lad at his home will be taker tomorrow,
to make the carrvin out nf v -i...k

lurking aoout the premises will be in

to tne woman s threat by the remarkable
lack of enthusiasm on the part of Mr.
vvnttia to aid the police in their 9n-h
for the kidnapers.
Throughout the past two davsL since hl
interview with one of the band, he has
refused to do anything that might lead
to the capture of the band, and has in
sisted that in his dealings with them and
their agents he must b unwntchH u ...4

to assist in. their capture, vengeance would
be taken on his bov: and that If harm
befell them through his activity, the child

Threat Feared by All.
The woman's promise that there would
be "Hell in Sharon tomorrow," is. taken
by many to show that an attack on the
boy will be made as soon as the news
