Pvflrtpmntn of serious importance
1 1 I'ortUnd a future prestlKe as a wheal

cause of the fact that local Trainmen
.yestsrday postponed a meeting at

Bur a wage Increase, until Tuesday,
when R. R. Miller, general freight
ascent of the Harrlmin lines. Is exiKct
feed from Walla Walla, where be went
kj esterdar.
Mr. Miller's mission, it Is said, deals
nslth the future movenryit of wheat.
Srhtrh Is a question that, has attained
aurh Interest In t.ie Interior that lie
was asked to rlslt Walla Walla and
aronfer with the growers. The export
ers, so it Is planned, mill seek from the
Ofarriman Interests a tariff on wheat
jtfrom Walla Walla and other Interior
(points to Tacoma. via Portland, not
Wrreater than the local rate from the
Interior direct to Tacoma.
B- that means It ls hoped to place
Portland and Tacoma on an equal foot
ing In wheat, and If It Is not finally
Ide.l to grant the gralnhandlers 40
-ents an hour. Instead of 2a cents, the
porters win hare the option of for
warding the grain to Puget Sound,
w here It ran be handled for 20 cents an
iour. or compelling local izralnhandlers
to work for the same scale as Is In
vogue In the north.
The teamsters' strike, coupled with
she -open-shop" movement. Is reported
to be playing an Important part In ne
gotiation between the Uralnhandlers'
I'nlon and the employers, but that the
train dealers arc not a unit In holding
ut against the union.
t Is not thought that the fact the
fvedorea and longshoremen will have
to stun a new contract September .
wlien the agreement entered Into two
J ears ago expires, will Influence the
situation, as the longshoremen have not
waked for an Increase In wages, but
have contended solely for certain
wages when work Is performed on the
olumbla River In the Jurisdiction of
flier unions. The loaer river unions
3iave a higher scale for donkey-men
Snd hatch-tenders than Is pnld here.
nd toe longshoremen have Insisted on
that scale when employed to assist the
Columbia River locals.

That Portland is finally to have a con
vention bureau In connection with the
promotion bureau of the Portland Com
niercmi 1 luo was shown yesterday at a
meeting of the convention bureau com
mittee of that Institution. There was al
most a full attendance of the 15 commit
leemr-n originally chosen and much en
thusiasm legarding this progressive plan
ror advancing rortland was shown.
The committee had before it one of the
best Informed men on such-topics in the
i nited states. He was Thomas D.
Parker, organizer of the Colorado Promo
tion and Publicity Bureau for four years,
He discussed at considerable length his
experiences In that line of work and the
urgent need of such an organization.
Lr. J. R. Wcthcrbee was elected chair
man and C. C. Chapman secretary of the
executive committee of the original com
mittee of 15. The other members of the
executive committee are: B. S. Joselyn.
W. J. Van Schuvyer. W. E. Coman, John
a. Beall and C. A. Whitemore.
Convention to Be Secured.
The scope of the convention bureau will
be to secure conventions for Portland.
It has been testified that Portland Is one
of the bert convention cities in the United
States. Not only will the efforts of the
new bureau be concentrated to getting
conventions for Portland, but It will try
also to have delegates to other conven
tions In this vicinity routed through
Portland and to stimulate general inter
ests In the promotion of the Interests of
Oregon.
At the headquarters of this bureau will
be on file data concerning all conventions
that have been, are going, and are going
to tie held not alone in the United States,
but in Canada as well.
It is thought by officers of the Com
mercial Club and members of the con
vention bureau committee and business
men of Portland . that by the' time Port-
lund has built an auditorium enough con
ventions will have been scheduled to fill
the building for some time. That the
establishment of an auditorium and the
maintenance of a convention bureau in
Portland would be a paying investment
was the unanimous opinion of all the
members of the committee at yester
day's meeting.
When the idea of having a convention
bureau w'as first suggested In Portland
the Commercial Club agreed to subscribe
to one-third of the funds necessary until
the limit of Za00 was reached. That
means If Portland business men and in
stitution; will contribute $5000 to the
fund for the establlsment and mainten
ance of that bureau the Commercial Club
will meet the canvasser with a donation
of $2500. Members of the executive and
general convention bureau committee
have announced their willingness to can
vass for funds for the project.
Hard Work Needed.
Mr. Parker pointed out to the members
of the committee the necessity of hard.
conscientious, vigorous work. Nothing
other than hard work and consistency
would make the bureau a success, he
said. The business men of Portland, to
make it a success, must subscribe to the
fund and give the project their loyal
support, eaid the former Colorado pro
motion manager.
There are several conventions that
might be brought to Portland for next
year. But to get these the right induce
ments must be offered. With the con
ventlon bureau established that part of
the programme would be looked after.
One convention that is obtainable for
Portland in 1911 is that of the Arctic
Brotherhood, a fraternity of Alaskans.
That organization holds its meeting this
year In Vancouver. B. C.
No better demonstration of the need of
convention bureau In Portland Is re
quired than that seen during the Hiber
nian convention two months ago. At that
time there were three or four conven
tions on in Portland simultaneously. Aa
result hotel accommodations were in
adequate. One of the duties of a con
vention bureau would be to see that not
all of the conventions were held at once
and that dates would not conflict.
That the bringing of a convention.
however small it might be. Is a big
'money-getter" for a community was
shown during the Hibernian convention
nd Woodmen of the W orld convention.
The cost to the- Commercial Club and
business men of the city for those con
ventions was not more than $3000. Ii
was said that the expenditure of fully
600.000 resulted from the Hibernian con
ention. Almost as large a sum was
reaped from the Woodmen convention and
from other conventions held here. At a
recent convention of the Shriners held
n Chicago, an expenditure of about $200,-
000 for entertainment by the city netted
hat city, by conservative estimate, $10,-
ooo.ooo.
With .Portland striving for the Elks
National convention in 1912. It is believed
that now is the opportune time to organ
ize a convention bureau to work for that
and other conventions.
with City Auditor Barbur yesterday aft
ernoon. No specified amount of bonds Is con
tained in the proposed ordinance, as the
project is one which cannot be easily j-
It will be In the neighborhood of $1,000,000.
Mayor Simon, when waited on by a
committee of citizens, said that he be
lieved heartily in the auditorium: that
he is ready to contribute his share to its
construction, but that he does not be
lieve It should be paid for by bonding
the city. He thinks it should be paid
for by the business men of the city.
"I am opposed to bond issues," said
the Mayor. "I favor keeping the bonded
Indebtedness of the city down to the
lowest possible point. My idea In this
is to make it possible for the masses to
own their homes and to keep down taxa
tion to this end, as well as for sound
business reasons. I do not feel. that the
city should be so heavily bonded as to
hamper people in paying for their homes
or so that taxation becomes burdensome.
I am strongly In favor of the auditorium
and think the city should have a fine
one; am willing to pay my full share of
its cost, but am opposed to the bond is
sue." It Is understood that the majority of
the Councllmen favor the bond issue and
that the question will be submitted to
the voters.

A PHYSICIAN'S SUCCESS
may reasonably be Judged by a crowded waiting-room. Too know I have
been In the same location for many years, still every day In the week
my offices are thronged with the sick and afflicted, availing themselves
of th liberal low fee rate extended to the public by this eminent spe
cialist. Why Is this so7 Simply because my reputation for cures has
stood tho test of years. There are no extra fees for complicated eases.
Tou may have one or a dozen alimented the pries is the same. I have a
special treatment for each ailment I treat. A patient remarked In my
. reception parlors: "Dootor, I do not se how you can give such thorough
and painstaking treatment and dvot so much care and attention to
each patient for such a very low fee." I replied: "My profit Ua la th
larg number I cure every year."
Many cases accepted for less than $10 now.
His Special Low Fees Will Interest You Now
I concentrate my faculties on a
single line of ailments. I treat
Varicose Veins, Hernia, Kidney
and Bladder Ailments, Piles, Blood
and Skin Ailments and their AL
LIED AILMENTS. I am certainly

DR. WHITE IS OPTIMISTIC
Only One Case of Diphtheria Is
Found at Gearhart and Seaside.
Dr. Calvin S. White, secretary of the
State Board of Health, has returned
from Gearhart and Seaside, where he
was called to Investigate a reported
epidemic of diphtheria along the beach.
"I took cultures from every one hav
Inir sore throat." said Dr. White, "and'
find there was no diphtheria except in
the family of S. W. Hughes. The cases
in Portland, which originated at the
beach, must have come in contact with
this care, which was probably carried
there. Everything Is In good shape
along the beach, except In the south
part of Gearhart, which is not sanitary
and the conditions should be improved."
