PEANS OF PRAISE
Delegates to Big Convention
Sorry They Can't Stay
Here Longer.
WANT TO SEE COUNTRY
I'nanimous Verdict Is That 190D
Gathering Has Been Biggest and
Best Ever Held Interviews
Vlth Church Leaders.
One and. only one .opinion is hold re
garding Portland by the delegates at the
Northern Baptist convention, however
much they may differ on convention and
other questions. From views collate
yesterday It appears as If every one is
regretful that the convention lo.-s not
Inst another week. Not that another
week of convention if, wanted, scarcely
any one Is daring enough to say that,
but further opportunity to see the coun
try is desired. Kven the river excursion
premised for Saturday has had to be
Riven up because a suitable steamer can
not be obtained and there is ooonsidera
ble sorrow spread anions the. 2500 dele
Fates and their friends at the conven
tion. "This Is the greatest convention we
have ever had." said Dr. Krod Hasgard,
home secretary or the American Baptist
Missionary Union. "As a missionary
gathering it has been alwolutely unpar
alleled. We have done more work than
we even dared to expect. It is quite
true there have been a great number of
committees interfering with the work of
the convention, but that has appeared
unavoidable . Tho work has got to be
done and the best way to do it appears
to be by committee. I think our work
has been remarkably helped.
Expectations Are Surpnssed.
"Aa to Portland, those of us who had
been here knew Just what to expect
and we were in no way " disappointed.
But those who had never been here had
their expectations more than surpassed.
We know the people of the West better
thi-.p we have known them before and
. we can trust them, for now we know
there are Just as many good Baptists
here as there are anywhere else.
"We know more. We know that it
makes no difference where the Northern
iBaptist Convention Is held, for 'wherever
It Is held the Baptists will rally round us
ftnd make it a success.
"There have been absolutely no criti
cisms or complaints. There could be none.
We aJl feel like our brother, Stackpole.
when he told of the man who said. "Oh,
Lord, I ain't got nothin' agin nobody.' "
Rev. John Dean, of Seattle, said Seattle
now knew that Portland had a healthful
future, however much she had been
forced to disbelieve the fact in the past.
"In the convention, we have done the
work we Intended." he said. "With every
one of us it has left its happy spiritual
Influence. I am heartily pleased with the
convention and with Portland.
"We must, however, stop the system of
committees meeting -while the convention
Is in progress. By next year we ought to
be able to leave the mornings to the com
mittees and hold the convention during
the afternoons and evenings.
"It has been a most serious obstacle to
the perfect euci-ess of the convention
knowing that so many of us had to be
away at these different committee
meetings."
Mr. Dean wanted Incidentally to adver
tise Seattle and told of the work Evan
gelists Davis and Mills were doing on the
"Pay Btreak."
"The Judson Way" was what Dr. Leroy
Stephens, secretary of the Pennsylvania
Baptist Education Society. Philadelphia,
talked about. The perfect tact and ease
of control manifested by Dr. Judson in
his capacities as president had won Dr.
Stephens' approval.
About Portland he was very careful, be
cause he was sitting next to a visitor
from Seattle. Dr. Stevens knew he had
to be careful, for one reckless delegate
said he did not need to see Seattle he had
seen Tacoma and the doctor watched
with appreciative eyes the result.
"All these Western cities are golnjr to
tie great," said Dr. Stephens. "I don't
know enough of the cities to forecast
which will be greatest, but I am filled
with admiration at your magnificent
buildings, your superb buildings which
are far more magniilcent " than I had
dared to hope."
Some more opinions of leading dele
gates to the convention follow:
Predicts Rapid Progress.
A. J. Rowland, secretary American Bap
tist Publication Society I regard the
Portland convention as marking the high
eat point of enthusiasm and efficiency
yet reached by the Baptists of the North
ern and Western States. From this time
the work of the Northern Baptist Conven
tion and of the societies conducted with
It should advance by leaps and bounds
W. C. Bitting, secretary of the Northern
Baptist Convention The welcome we
have received from' the city and' the
White Temple is beyond all praise. We
shall never forget Portland.
11. L. Morehouse, secretary American
Baptist Home Mission Society The
meetings at Portland have been almost
phenomenal in the scope of subjects
considered. In the Intense Interest and
Rood Judgment manifested, and In the
spirit of good fellowship. The bracing
air of the city and the hospitable re
ligious atmosphere of the Baptists of
Portland have contributed to the en
joyment of the occasion.
Emory W. Hunt, president Denison
t'niversity I can scarcely conceive of
conditions more delightful for a meet
ing of the convention than we have had
In Portland. These are in large de
gree responsible for the success and in
terest of the meeting. It will be ra
garded as a convention of great his
toric interest.
K. C. McConnell, Kansas Cftv. Mo.
This convention is great.
Dr. George T. Webb, official reporter
of the convention and editor of the
Daily Bulletin, has the right ideas
about Portland and the Northwest. At
the same time, he has peculiar ideas
about the duties the newspapers owe
to the convention. Dr. Webb said:
Surprise and Delight.
"The Portland meeting of the North
ern Baptist convention has been in
every respect a surprise and delight.
In the large attendance of both dele
gates and visitors; the thoroughly rep
resentative character of the assem
blage: the harmony that has prevailed
and the good feeling that has been un
varyingly observed, the convention is
unique. The thorough organization of
the local committee, their thoughtful
ness and faithfulness have made It
hard for any subsequent convention to
equal the one of 1D0!)."
Maccnbee Instalmtion.
At an open meeting of Portland Tent,
No. 1. Knights of the Maccabees, last
night, the following officers to serve

the state. The members first took seats
at the tables in the Council chamber,
the room having- been beautifully
adorned with choice roses. They then
listened to the reading of their names
by Deputy Auditor Grutse, after which
they came forward and took the oath
of office, which was administered by
City Auditor Parbur.
The members were then called to
order again, and the committee ap
pointments were read, after which the
Mayor nominated Mr. Cox for Chief of
Police. Upon motion of Sig Sichel, who
was assigned to the police committee.

the board confirmed the appointment,
as provided by the charter, and fixed
the bond of the new head of the depart
ment at $10,000.
Sleuths Must Go to Work.
Mayor Simon then made a statement
to the members of the board. In which
he said he had prepared a resolution,
which he wished adopted, ordering the
Chief of Police to assign to duty Joe
Day. Frank J. Snow, L. a. Carpenter
and J. F. Reslng, detectives, who were
discharged nearly three years ago by
order of Mayor Lane.
The Mayor said that. In this connec
tion, he wished to say, for the guid
ance of the Executive Board, that he
had talked with Chief of Police Grltz
machcr about the four detectives under
consideration, and that the Chief said
all of them are good officers, and that
it was not on his recommendation or
by his consent that they were let out.
This being the case, said the Mayor,
he wished them to report for duty, and
Samuel Connell moved the adoption of
the resolution, which carried. This,
explained Mayor Simon, makes it
obligatory upon the detectives to go to
work or resign. Day and Snow will
return to work, but there Is some doubt
about Reslng and Carpenter.

WHY
SHOULD I BUY A LOT AND BUILD
A HOME AT WESTMORELAND?
The following reasons will conclusively answer that question
1. BECAUSE your investment will be better than a bank
account. Westmoreland property will rapidly advance in value.
Portland is drawing its immense increase in population from
every state in the Union; the whole country is, therefore, be
hind Portland, the city is bound to grow, it has grown, it is
growing, and it's going to grow still faster with a solid, per
manent increase. In finding a home, future Portlanders will
follow the line of least resistance, they will flock to the most
accessible point.
2. Westmoreland enjoys the advantages of suburban life
and yet it is nearer the heart of the city than any other addition
placed on the market in the past two years.
3. Westmoreland has by far the best transportation facili
ties in the city. Fifteen-minute service within one year 20
minutes now. Cars heated in Winter. Westmoreland is easy
to reach. J
4. Cars are large, roomy and swift, they pass the property
not a block to walk.
5. There is fine scenery along the carline to Westmoreland.
The property lies near the river.
6. Westmoreland soil is good, your trees, shrubs, grass,
.flowers and gardens will grow.
7. There is a good automobile road direct to the property.
8. Natural drainage.
9. Unexcelled beauty of surroundings, unapproachable
view of the mountains for a distance of hundreds of miles, and
this view can never be shut off.
--Westmoreland improvements will be a decided innova
tion. The platting and character of improvements follow close
ly those of the college suburbs of Los Angeles every home will
be unique and in a class by itself.
11. Westmoreland is not troubled by those east winds that
blow down through the Columbia River Draw and which make
some suburban property so unattractive in Winter. Westmore
land is sheltered.
. I2' T.ify Per cent less fuel will be used in Westmoreland
during Winter.-
13. The new' Madison bridge will add actual value to West
moreland property. It will be finished in less than one year.
14. The Madison bridge draw opens at least one-third less
frequently than those of the other bridges. Westmoreland resi
dents will thus have fewer delays had you thought of this?
15. Westmoreland residents will pass through only the best
parts of Portland to reach their homes.
16. Westmoreland is lighted at night.
17. Westmoreland edges on the beautiful Crystal Springs
Lake and Johnson's Creek.
18. The balance of Ladd's Crystal Springs farm, of which
Westmoreland is a part, will go on the market at prices ranging
at least 50 per cent higher than Westmoreland property more
than that: Westmoreland is much nearer the heart of Portland
than the rest of the farm.
19. There is absolute assurance of high-class homes at
Westmoreland, the restriction is $1500.
20. Westmoreland improvements go in immediately. You
will not have to wait two or three years for them.

been made and I will accept it. As
soon as I am notified I will report for
duty. That may be tomorrow. I' will
make any charges that are necessary
after a careful rtudy of conditions in
the department. The only plan I have
at this time is to see that the laws are
enforced."

Health Ofriccr Pohl and Market
Inspector Evans Report.
Mayor Simon received yesterday morn
ing the resignations of Drs. George F.
Wilson. E. J. Giesy and R. C. Tenney.
members of the Board of Health, and
accepted each one. This will necessitate
the appointment of a new Board, which
the Mayor will do as soon as he has
fully considered the situation. Health
Officer Pohl will serve until such time
as Dr. C. H. Wheeler, who will succeed
her, qualifies and is ready for work. It
was the desire of the Mayor fhat the
old Board remain, but the members felt
that they had given sufficient time in
the city's service and therefore declined
to stay.
Dr. Pohl made an exhaustive report
of the work of the department,- evident
ly for the benefit of the records, and
for the information- of the successors of
the Board and herself. The report states
that health conditions in Portland ara
excellent.
Market Inspector Evans made a re
port, briefly summarizing the work of

year, work, I count among the gre "6St

"ftrj i.wJ1J.ch v.T'U very '"adequate. Our
clean list," which was merely intended a
a substitute untll somethln b"etedwaf
provided, has gotten a National reputation
and I have had requests for It from everv
tate. as It was adopted as a standard by
an, organization of 800.000 women. Our
market ordinance is receiving the same rec
ognition. It was adopted almost 'bodily by
Tacoma. and Portland was given credit for
it by the Tacoma papers when It passed
their Council. Conditions in our markets
cannot be calculated by mathematical fig
ures, unfortunately, hut the imnroveTn.nt
marvelous, due largely to the general agita
tion and education along these lines, and
Incidentally to a fear of the law. The mar
kets are not perfect yet and our ordinance
needs strengthening In some places, but the I
greatest hope for clean and sanitary con- i
dltlons Is In educating the merchants to
aee that cleanliness pays.
It gives me pleasure to report that the '
intense prejudice that I encountered when
the office of Market Inspector was created,
has, wlin a few exceptions, disappeared'
and my best work Is accomplished through
co-operation.
But the greatest factor In whatever nf
success I have had, has been the support,
kindness and ciitiidcratlnn I have always
received from this board. and without
which my work would have been of no
avail, and for which I take this opportunity
