E
National Grocers' Convention
in June to Be Big Event.
PLANS ARE ALREADY MADE
Visitors I'rom All , Parts of United
States Will Be Elaborately En
tertained While In Ses
sion Ira Portland.
Plana to entertain the crocers of the
country who will viit Portland early In
June to attend the National Grocera' Con
vention are well alonpr. Charles B Mer
rick, secretary of the Portland Retail
Orocers' Association. ha outlined the pro
gramme for the convention, which prom
ises to be one of the most successful In
the history of the organization. Mr. Mer
rick is on the search for a sufficiently
larse banquet hall where all delecates to
the convention can be accommodated at
the banquet that will end the session It
is probable that this affair will be given
in the Commercial Club.
As now outlined, the tentative pro
gramme having just been completed the
convention will open on the morning of
?"2e,2 10 A- A"resses of welcome
, "f"cB win oe ine first order of
business and will occupy the morning Be
will be heard and there will follow a trol
ley ride about the city, viewing the prin
m KPlnt,!, J interest. A night session
will be held from 7:30 to 9. at which the
rout ne business coming before the con
vention will be transacted. At 9 P. M the
visitors will be taken to a smoker In
Anon Hall. Tmiquo stunts that are guar
anteed to keep .the guests awake are to
be provided. Meanwhile, wives of visit
ing grocers will be entertained by the
Hazelwood Cream Company. In connec
tion with the women's auxiliary of the
Portland grocers.
Will Take Trip XJp Columbia.
On the following day. June 3. at 9 A
M., the grocers will leave for a trip up
the Columbia River to Cascade Locke and
return, going on either the Bailey Gatzert
or the T. J. Potter. This trip will take
ail day. A stop will be made at War
rens Cannery, where the visitors will be
shown the process of salmon canning, a
feature that is expected to prove highly
Interesting to them. There is no pro
gramme for that night, the merchant be
ing left to spend the time to suit their
own convenience. Secretary Merrick will
however, entertain editors of trade papers
in attendance at the convention at a din
ner at the Commercial Club that night.
Friday will be devoted to a business ses
sion, at which the grocers will get down
to the routine to be transacted at the an
nual gatherings. Friday night there will
be a reception to National officers of the
organization and their wives. This func
tion will be quite elaborate and . will be
held In the Masonic Temple.
Saturday, too, will be a business day
with the growers, the remaining matters
up for consideration being disposed of
The election of officers for the coming
year and the fixing of the place of the
next meeting coming up for settlement.
It Is thought now that Detroit, Mich., will
be selected as the place for holding the
nf, convention- Saturday night there
will be a banquet to delegates. As It Is
expected they will number over 300, it is
a problem to find a suitable place for
holding it, but it is thought the Commer
cial Club main dining-room will prove am
ple the seating capacity being about 350.
fuJ af falrXPeCted t0 prove a very' deliBht
Remain for Rose Festival.
This will end the convention, but many
delegates are expected to remain in Port
land over Sunday in order to attend the
hI" D.day of the Rose Festival on Mon
Ma"y, wm also doubtless remain
here the following day of the Festival as
well Delegates are. however, due in
r-6 Yednesday' whlch is National
Goe daf the Seattle Exposition.
ti J KrSd.ayA grocers will be taken for
a trip about Puget Sound by the Seat-v-ri6'
lncludin a trip to the Navy
It le.-J Breme;ton. it is expected that
at least a special car of Portland mer
chants will accompany the visiting dele
gates north to take part in the entertain
ment offered at Seattle.
Reports received daily by Secretary Mer
rick from the Bast show that the attend
ance at the forthcoming convention will
be large. A special train will come from
Ohio, a special Pullman coach from Port
and. Me.; one car from Indiana and not
less than 100 visitors from Ohio, white
every section of the country will be well
represented at the Portland meeting Ten
?bI"a,re,C01Unl0n from Poi"t east of
the Mississippi River, while the attend
ance west of that waterway is expected
to be correspondingly large. Forty have
signed up already for the trip ln Denver
and encouraging reports are being rei

MANY .DEEDS ON RECORD SAID
TO BE FALSE.
Inquiry Into East Side Transfer Ex
pected to Lead to Thorough In
vestigation by Jury.
A wholesale investigation Into the man
ner In which entries are made of deeds
and abstracts in the office of the County
Clerk may result, since the attention of
the grand jury has been called to the fact
that there was an apparently false record
put on the books respecting property lo
cated between Rockwood and Montavilla
and which will be part of East Glisan
street ln the event that It is extended.
As stated in The Oregonlan yesterday,
the jury has been busy for a number of
days in the task of ferreting out the par
ties responsible for the entry and to put
such measures to work ln the future that
will forestall any further attempt to re
peat the offense.
It was declared at the Courthouse that
the assertion that there are hundreds of
false records on the books that could be
traced down by a thorough probing of the
records, haa led to a desire on the part
of the officials and the jury to go to the
bottom of the matter.
