CROWDS SO GREAT
; BRYAN CAN'T SEE

Nebraskan to Seattle
Exposition.
MAKES ANSWER TO TAFT
Democratic Leader Insists Alaskan
Should Be Given Home Rule,
Assails Ship Subsidy and
Payne Tariff Bill.
SEATTLE. Oct. 12. William J. Bry
an's visit to the world's fair today was
made the occasion of a popular demon
.mtinii thit rlvnlort In earnestness the
greeting to President Taft two weeks
Mr. Bryan and his escort arrived at
the fairgrounds in automobiles at 10:16
o'clock and found their entrance op
posed by a multitude of people, who
were possessed of a common desire to
make much noise and to crowd as near
to the Bryan car as possible to shake
hands with the visitor. Soldiers were
as (treat ly needed to clear a way as
when President Taft visited the expo
sition, but the exposition management
bad not foreseen the need and the
crowd refused to let Mr. Bryan see the
fair.
Crowd Threatens to Smother Him.
The automobile, after long delay,
reached the Government building, and
Mr. Bryan and his guides entered. At
once thousands of people poured into
the building, not only preventing the
visitor from seeing the exhibits, but
threatening to destroy the building,
and the visitors' progress to other
buildings was marked by similar ef
forts of the crowd to smother their
favorite, and Mr. Bryan will learn
what the fair really looks like from
Mrs. Bryan, who came here yesterday,
registered at a hotel under her own
name and was permitted to see the
sights unmolested.
Mr. Bryan who occupied the Presidential
suite at the Hotel Washington, was en
tertained at luncheon In the New Tork
building at the fair, much as Taft had
been, and after luncheon he spoke to an
outdoor audience in the natural theater
that was only a little .smaller than the
one before which Mr. Taft made hla
Alaska and ship subsidy, speech.
Reply Is Made to Taft,
When Mr. Bryan had concluded his
lecture on "The Average Man," he did
not stop, but in an extemporaneous speech
answered President Taft's address on
Alaska. Mr. Bryan took occasion
to differ with President Taft re
garding home rule for Alaska and also
touched on the conservation of natural
resources. ,
He said In part:
"Pioneers of this great Northwest, men
farsighted. resolute in purpose, who
braved the dangers of the wilderness of
A'.0-a, have asked that they be recog
nized as capable of attending to their
own fTa!rs. Are you afraid to trust
them Tou cannot refuse their request
without reflecting on the subject of eelf
roverament. They have the capabilities
as well as the rest. Alaska should have
the right to self-government.
Give Alaskans Home Rule, He Says.
"Alaska has a right to make her own
mistakes. If she makes mistakes she
will suffer from them and then correct
them, but If we deny her self-government,
and in an attempt to dictate her
local affairs make mistakes they will
be long uncorrected and we will be re
sponsible for the condition of affairs
which will follow.
"Alaskans are asking for Just what
they are fighting for the world over.
They want to be the architects of their
own destiny, and the guardians of their
own affairs. You cannot refuse them
1 this.
"There is another burning questlson up
here in the Northwest, the monopoly of
natural resources. Who can measure the
value of one mountain stream? Yet
many of them are becoming the private
property of individuals forever. Leave
this question to the common people and
there will be a thousand to one against
perpetual franchises."
Ship Subsidy Is Assailed.
Tonight Mr. Bryan delivered another
political address. He attacked the Ald-rlch-Payne
tariff law, opposed the ship
subsidy policy advocated by President
Taft in his Seattle speech two weeks
ago and accused the President of taking
the Income tax issue away- from him.
Referring to the President's attitude
toward the tariff, Mr. Bryan said:
"In order that the party may stand
together he thinks it is better to defend
a wrong than oppose it."
In opposing a ship subsidy Mr. Bryan
advocated as a substitute that the money
the United States Is putting into battle
ships be put into transports, and that
during time Of peace these be leased to
companies establishing new steamship
lines. 'They have taxed the American
people for a generation to build up a
tariff wall to keep trade out," he said,
"and now they want to subsidize ships
to bring trade in."
Will Receive Totem Pole.
The totem pole which Mr. Bryan had
asked for to adorn his grounds at Fair
view was not presented to him today,
it having been found Impossible to ob
tain a suitable pole. Some of the totem
poles In the market are made by white
men for sale to tourists and the one
which will be sent to Falrview will be a
genuine Alaska Indian manufacture.
Mr. Bryan will go to Victoria tomor
row and thence east over the Canadian
Pacific

COMPANY FILES MORTGAGE
Oswego Cement Concern Gives
$900,000 Security for Bonds.
OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 13. (Spe
cial.) Nine hundred thousand Is the
amount of a mortgage that has been
placed on ths properties of the Port
land Cement Company In Clackamas
and Douglas Counties. The Instrument
has Just been filed in the- office of
County Recorder Ramsby and is one
of the largest ever recorded there.
The mortgage Is given to secure the
payment of a bond issue of $900,000,
taken by the Security Savings & Trust
Company of Portland, as trustee. The
bonds are of the denomination of 1500
and mature in 15 years, bearing t per

DRV FARM PRODrCTS SENT TO
BILLIXGS COXGRESS.
Hill Interests Arrange for Exhibit of
Interior Oregon as Part of
Publicity Work.
BEND. Or.. Oct. 12. (Special.) A well
assorted exhibit of the dry-farming prod
ucts of the Bend country has been dis
patched to the forthcoming Dry-Farming
Congress at Billings. Mont. The samples
of the local lrrigationless productions are
entered in the congress by the Bend
Rnurd of Trade, with whom John I.
Springer, freight and passenger agent of
the Great Northern rtauroaa, arrangeu
for the display.
This is the first official publicity work
done by the Hill Interests In Oregon, and
Is looked upon as an auspicious forerun
ner of the great development mat win
follow the advent of the Hill line into
Central Oregon. The exhibit Includes
samples of grain, threshed - and in the
shock, apples, potatoes and general root
crops.
A fact of considerable Importance to
the Bend country and to all sections
wherein so-called dry farming is at all
practiced, is the wide-spread misunder
standing of the real meaning or tne term
which recent inquiries, especially In con
neotlon with the Billings congress, dis
close. These show that many, especially
from Eastern farming districts, take It
for granted that "dry" farming means
crop raising totally without water, as
upon desert land.
Steps are being taken to make It under
stood, as broadly as possible, that the
term Implies simply non-irrigated farm
ing. In the Bend country, for Instance,
where there Is a rainfall varying from
12 to 23 inches, there Is every opportunity
for the production of abundant crops
even without any understanding of the
ever-developing scientific principles of
dry farming. It Is expected that the
Billings congress will take up this mat
ter for the purpose of establishing a bet
ter popular comprehension of the true
meaning of the term.

CITY'S -EXPANSION
SOUGHT BY BOARD
Realty Men Believe Portland
Should Take in Adjacent
- Suburbs Immediately.
CLUBS ARE ASKED TO ACT
Annexation of St. John, Milwaukie,
Mount Scott and Other Districts
Vrged in Order to Make Big
Showing In Census.
Annexation of St. John. Mllwaukle, the
outlying portions of the Mount Scott dis
trict and all other suburbs lying contig
uous to Portland, was the subject un
der discussion at the meeting of the
Portland Realty Board at the Convention
ball of the Commercial Club last night
and definite action toward this end, that
it may be accomplished before the next
Federal census, was taken by the board.
The secretary of the Realty Board was
Instructed to communicate with the real
ty boards in outlying suburbs, and espe
cially with the realty board of St. John,
proposing annexation. The local board
will arrange to visit St. John within the
next week or so and launch the campaign
there and. If necessary, contribute toward
the expense of circulating petitions for
annexation.
Discussion of the next Federal census
in Oregon was the object for which the
meeting was called and it was In view
of the near approach of the time
for taking the census that the
subject of annexation was broached. In
this connection, S. C. Beach, supervisor
of the census for the second district of
Oregon, who was the chief speaker of the
evening, said:
Districts Belong to City.
"Speaking as a citizen of Portland and
not as a Government official, I wish to
say that it seems desirable that whero
the territory Is Buch that we cannot tell
we are going from Portland proper to a
suburb, the territory should rightly be
long to Portland and should be included
In our census. St. John has a population
of over 7000 people and It Is Impossible
to tell where Portland stops and 8t.
John begins. The same Is true of Mll
waukle, Mount Scott and other outlying
districts.
"Our sister cities would take In Oregon
City, Vancouver, Troutdale, Falrview,
Gresham and other places and eyen
should Portland do this 'it would not
cover as great a territory as these othsr
cities. (
"Now annexation Is not a difficult
thing. No action is required on the part
of the Legislature. It simply takes an
affirmative vote on the part of the resi
dents of the territory to be annexed and
then affirmation by the City Council.
The entire matter can be adjusted with
in 30 days and now is the time to get
busy. This Is along the line of the work
followed by the Realty Board."
It was then proposed to put people out
to circulate petitions but this was held
In abeyance until the different districts
could be communicated with. It was
stated by President Fries that St. John
is more than willing to come in ana
the same was said of other suburbs.
Senator Beach also said:
Hopes to Beat Seattle.
"We are Interested in one thing and
that is beating Seattle. The bill passed
by the last Congress changes vitally the
manner of taking the census. It provides
that the work of enumeration shall all
be done by me supervisor and his depu
ties within a space of 15 to 20 days and
that the statistical work of enumerating
the Industries, etc., shall be left for other
special departments who will continue
their work indefinitely.
"Now this work of taking a census
is a stupendous task, how great may be
judged from the fact that It will require
from 600 to TOO men to do this work In
Oregon. We want to organize In a prac
tical way with practical men that the
greatest good may be done Oregon. 1
shall call on the Realty Board and every
commercial organization to help me ani
if any of you know- of any active man
who will do the work I want you to give
me his name. '
"Reverting to figures I will point oui
that in 1900 the census for the first dis
trict in Oregon showed 192,929 and the
second district 220.607, a total of 413.
536. Figures were given In 1905, I know
not from what source, although they are
supplied by the Government, showing
an Increase of less than 41,000. .tow
some of our people were amazed and
humiliated that Oregon was given but
400 workers for the forthcoming census and
Washington 900. However, they do not
know much at the Capital about either
Oregon or Washington and I want to say
that I have the personal assurance of
Mr. Hunt, Chief Statistician of tfle Cen
sus Bureau, that we will have all we
need to take the census, whatever the
number may be.
"Now Washington in 1900 showed a
census of 518,083, but a little more than
the figures for Oregon and there Is a
good chance that Oregon will pass Wasn
lngton in the- coming census. We rea
sonably may expect Oregon to show rs
great a proportionate gain as does Port
land, and as the last Portland census
was about 96,000, we figure that Port
land has at least doubled, so we may
expect 826,000 people in' the Oregon cen
sus. Congressman to Be Gained.
"That woujd give us another Congress
man to say the least. Now It Is prac
tically certain .that the coming Congress
will reapportion the districts after the
next census and the schedule may be
Increased from 15 to 26 per cent, but
in any event. Oregon will have enough
for a third Congressional district. .
"The work In Oregon will be done by
voting precincts and will also be di
vided much on the ease or difficulty
with Which the people may be reached.
The work will begin on February 15 and
will continue for 15 days when It must
be stopped. In the country districts wo
will be given an additional 15 days to
complete the work and , cover the
ground."
W. T. Hutchinson, the Portland man
ager of the Pope Directory Company,
spoke showing the. methods of the com
pany In making the directory and tell
ing that the estimated population, se
cured by applying a multiple of 2Vi to
all names in the book, had been shown
in the .many years of the company's
experience, to be the most accurate of
any used.
It was decided to visit Orenco a week
from Saturday as the next weekly ex
cursion of the board. Another action
taken by the board was an arrangemsnt
to hold the regular meetings early tn
the evening at the Commercial Club and
hold a dinner in -connection with tne
meeting. A committee was appointed
to take charge of the first dinner.
Five new firms were voted Into mem
bership, as follows: W. H. Kilmiga- ;
worth. The W. A. Story Co., C. P. Wells.
Mair & Prall. and Strong & Co.

ATTALIA. Wash., Oct. 12. (Special.)
Dissatisfaction on the part of Attalla
land holders with the management of
the local irrigation project by the Co

holders contend that the company has
failed to fulfill Its agreements; that the
local management is responsible for the
poor condition of tracts cared for by the
company for non-residents, and that the
tunnel Is Incapable of conveying .suffi
cient water for irrigation, and Is liable
to cave In, leaving the district entirely
without water. ,
Nothing - was accomplished beyond
agreements to extend payments In a few

others are contemplated.
