TIIE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1910. FARMERS TO FIGHT FLOUR MILLTRUST Dver $400,000 Raised to Build Plants at Walla Walla and Adams. WILL DEVELOP OWN POWER Grip of Northwestern Millers to Be Broken by Wealthy Farmers of Interior Own Railroad Will Join Mills to River. WALLA WALLA. Wash., July 21. (Special.) Wealthy farmers of the Walla Walla Valley and the I'matilla - country have subscribed over $400,000 toward the. erection of two larse flour mills and a power plant, according to a statement made by President H. H. McLean, of the local Farmers' Union. Mr. McLean states that the movement of the farmers to break the grip which, he says, the so-called "milling trust" in the Northwest has on the farmer is progressing slowly but favorably. Two power sites are under consideration by the farmers of the two districts, who plan to co-opurate to build the power plant to run the two mills, which will be located at Adams and Walla Walla and owned by the farmers of the respec tive districts. As planned, the two mills will have a flaily capacity' of 1000 barrels each, but will be constructed so as to permit of enlargement at nominal cost. Umatilla farmers ar.v figuring on constructing a wiilroad from Adams to Cold Springs on the Columbia River, a survey for this line having been run last Spring. Of the two power sites which the farmers are considering, one is a few miles east of Adams on the. Umatilla Kfver. This site is owned by a farmer, who haj? mide the farmers a proposition that will likely be accepted. It is said. Mr. McLean says enough power can be developed at this pluca to run several Hour mills. He says that the plans of the farmers are not complete. - According to Mr. McLean, the farmers will not bleach their flour, as most millers do, and that only the highest trade machinery will be used.

IRELAND TO AID EE President Cummings, of Hiber nians, Tells How Irish Will Fight. EX-GOVERNOR FOLK TALKS Missourian Adpionishes Nation. Not to Be Classed Among "Leaners," but "Lifters" Banquet Is Big Affair at the Armory. "Ireland will support Germany if she ever fights England," was the statement of Matthew Cummings, president of the Ancient" Order of Hi bernians, in his speech at the Armory "Wednesday "night. "If there is ever a war between Germany and England." he said, "Ireland will be with Germany in that conflict. The price of her sup port to England will be Ireland's free dom." President Cummings was responding to the toast, "The A. O. H." He traced the development of the order, said the Irish have become a missionary race, and that they have planted the cross from the rising to the setting sun. He said that the? order, during the last year, has spent 15,000,000 for charity. and that the assets now in the treasury amount to 12,000,000. We will never be satisfied with anything short of Ireland s independence,- he declared. Then followed his statement regarding Ireland s support to Germany. Ex-Governor Folk Talks. Ex-Governor Folk, of Missouri, was one of the speakers, eulogizing a wife's devotion and a mother's love as the "strongest strand which binds the man or the child to his altar and to heaven." He was glad, he said. for. the united effort that was being made by the Irish for their motherland. He said that the United States, true to ' her ideals, would be the most powerful nation on earth, but that the cables binding her together would be ropes of sand, if she were untrue. There are but two classes, he said, the lifters and the leaners. Every inch of available . space on the great floor of the Armory was filled by the great crowd of 1600 Hibernians, assembled at the National convention banquet. Great streamers of green and white reached from the center of the hall in all directions to the balconies,, while fir boughs hung in festoons about the gallery. Many Irish flags hed been ar ranged about the hall, a large cluster in front. The women members of the chorus were gowned in white, each with a green and orange ribbon taste fully arranged. Here and there, dot ting the long tables were vases of sweet peas, adding to the beauty of the decorations. Feast of Reason Late. Owing to the work required to feed the throng, it was not until 10 o'clock that the toastmaster. Dr. Andrew Smith, announced in few words the first speaker. Archbishop Alexander Christie. He responded to the toast, "The Holy Father." Bishop Carroll, of Montana, followed him, responding to the toast, "The President." He spoke of President Taft's personal conference with the Pope in settlement of the Philippines land question, and said Taft had always been a broad-minded man. He eulogized the office of President, and gave a stirring, patriotic address, at the end of which he urged all Irish men to ever maintain their loyalty ana iiaenty to tne United States. The Portland A Capella chorus of 105 voices played and sang during the dis cussion of the menu: The music was both stirring and patriotic and won high praise. .Frederick W. Goodrich was mu sical director and showed much skill and tact in arranging the different musical programmes, and making them attractive to guests representing all portions of this country and Canada. Southern Songs Take Fancy. From an instrumental point of view, -uixie - caught the fancy of the crowd, and round after round of applause fol lowed. "Maryland, My Maryland" caught the Southern delegates. But the greatest applause of all came when the orchestra played selections of Irish airs. The last orchestral number was Elgar's "Pomn and Circumstance," No. 1, which was a stirring finale. Mrs. Raymond A. Sullivan, formerly Miss Elizabeth Harwas, - soprano, sang witn line eriect l'ne Star-Spangled Ban ner" as a solo, and the choir joined in the chorus. The audience stood at at tention in honor of this number. Mrs Sullivan also sang "Killarney," and gave a fine rendition of it, her encore being ine JLst Kose of Summer, " sung with artistic sentiment. Frank D. Hennessey sang, with patriotic fire. "Mv Own United States." and as he sang the last verse ne suddenly displayed an Amerl can flag and wrapped it around him. The etiect was electrical, and the audience gave him a rousing encore. His response was "omue, just smile. The most artistic, best sung numbers by the Portland A Capella Chorus were Frederick W. Goodrich s musical arrange ment of "The Wearln' o' the Green" and Cherry's "The Dear Little Shamrock." It was a treat to listen to the niceties of expression and the skillful shading. The most popular selection sung probably was McCann's "O'Donnell Aboo," which took the delegates by storm. The concert- master was Emil Thielhorn. The so pranos and contraltos. of the chorus were dressed In pure white and their ribbon colors were orange and green, in compli ment to the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The whole concert was excellent. Archbishop Christie, In his toast said that in the founding of the Catholic church a universal empire wa founded, which had lived to sing the requiem over the forgotten graves of the strongest governments, which had withered and passed away. "Compelled at first to worship within the secret chambers of the catacombs, the Pa pacy." he said, "has in every, age spread abroad the light of the gospel and the sweet influences of civilization."

In a talk representing over $8,400,000 a minute, William McMurray, general passenger agent of the Harrlman system in the Northwest, Wednesday night sup piled the "Live Wires" with energy hints upon which to base their campaign. The occasion was the organization ban quet of the "Live Wires." destined to fill with electrical force every project presented for the upbuilding of Portland. Mr. McMurray gave arguments repre senting J26.325.000, in other words, the appropriation for work now under way and to be started in the near future by the Harriman lines in Oregon. So force ful was his three-minute address, packed full of figures, that it had the large assembly, gathered in the banquet hall of the Portland Commercial Club, cheering Itself hoarse. !'. The speeches were short, snappy and brilliant. They lasted for three min utes apiece. As John F. Carroll emphasized, when speaking on the need for an auditorium, one' man was a unit, but when those units formed an aggregation they repre sented so much power that little could stand against them. Enthusiasm was the feature and at the close, so much had Mr. Carroll and other speakers impressed the desirability of a convention auditorium, that a motion was passed that the first duty of the "Live Wires" was to secure one. It will be the purpose of the organization to work until this is accomplished. It was the general belief it will be accomplished, too, in the very near future. After Mr. Chapman had snappily intro duced him, C. C. Craig, originator of the live wire theory, showed the profit to a city financially: in conventions, gave ideas on how to get them, and talked about getting an auditorium by forcing a bond issue. W. A. Holt, president of the Mult nomah Club, told of the club and its place in Portland activities. He made a plea for the new club bond issue. Other speakers were: C. F. Johnson, of the promotion committee of the Port land Commercial Club; Dr. J. R. Wether bee. D. O. Lively, "who told of the live stock industry; K. F. Barbour, assistant to President Josselyri of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company; Judge Edward F. Colburn, of Salt Lake City; C. C. Colt. Fletcher Linn, F. H. Ransom, Ralph Hoyt, the Rose festival expert; E. C. Giltner, W. A. Coman, George M. Trowbridge, editor of the Ore gon Journal, W. A. Goes, and James A. Dummet, of Seattle. The following committee on temporary organization was elected: C. C. Craig, chairman; David N. Mosessohn, secre tary; D. O. Lively, C. C. Colt. Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, W. Goss, F. F. .Barbour, F. W. Robinson, Harvey O'Bryan, D. E. Kease, F. H. Fogarty, F. M. Luders, G. W. Kleisei-, G. F. Johnson, William Mc Murray and H. W. Fries.
