That Oregon's coast may become a rival with Florida as an attractive Winter resort Is demonstrated by the numerous parties which have been leaving Portland every Saturday night for Seaside and Gearhart to spend Sun day outings. As there Is a variation of only 10 degrees In temperature along the coast, between the Summer and Winter seasons, many Portland people find an outing most enjoyable there at almost any time of the year. Local railroad officials say that pas senger traffic is brisk between Fort land and the coast points, and that more people are visiting- the resorts this Fall than usual. FARMERS ARK HOIDIXG WHEAT Pemand for Cars to Move Crop Not Yet Insistent. That there bas been no large demand as yet for cars to move the 1910 wheat crop In the Northwest Is attributed to the fact that farmers have not begun to dispose of their crops, except in iso lated cases, according to F. W. Robin son, general freight agent of the Southern Pacific and O. R- A N. lines. "The farmers in the large producing wheat districts are holding for better prices and as a great percentage of the growers are able to do so. this year's crop has not started to move to a large extent." said Mr. Robinson yes terday. "With a general shortage of crops throughout the country, it would seem that prices will soon become more attractive to the farmers. I look for a strong movement within the next few weeks. Then we will be taxed to our capacity in supplying cars to move the crops to this port." association In extending greetings to the visitors. The buffet lunch prepared by Chef Goettleman. of the Commercial Club, was something out of the ordinary. The main table fairly groaned with toothsome edibles and such offerings as fresh Columbia River salmon, large crawfish and Hood River apples were greatly enjoyed by the guests. Deco rations of Oregon grape and white chrysanthemums were attractive fea tures of the buffet room. The affair was entirely Informal. Im mediately following the reception, the guests went to their trains and left for Paget Sound, where they will make stops at Tacoma, Seattle and Van couver, B. C. They will return East on the Canadian Pacific line. E- L. Thompson, acting secretary of the Portland Clearing-House Associa tion, said last night that the visitors were deeply Impressed with the recep tion accorded them while in Portland. He believes that Portland will receive valuable advertising from these visitors and is of the opinion that stronger financial relations between the East and the West may be expected as a result of such acts of hospitality. Portland will be host to another party of financiers tomorrow when the New York bankers arrive at 9 o'clock from Los Angeles. There will be 375 visitors and they will be given a re ception similar to that accorded the party yesterday.

As a citizen of Oregon who Is visiting Portland at present, one who has mingled a great deal in the public life of the state for over 20 years, has held positions of honor has been and is an earnest supporter of the primary law and of Statement One, I wNn to discuss Oswald West. I wonder how many voters of the state have thought of what a cheapen ing It Is of the office of Governor to oven consider the election h3reto of Oswald West? Not a single attribute of the mental, social or character which the intelligent, cultured mind would naturally associate with the position of Governor can be credited to Mr. West. Neither educated, training, dig nity of mental poise is his nor has he the powers of private or public ad dress that would give him standing among the executives of the states of the Union. Think of the office once filled by William P. Lord and Sylvester Pennoy er, falling to the occupancy of Oswald West. Granted that Mr. West can fill a clerical position, where the carrying out of the -will of a boss or a directing mind is the chief necessity; granted that he is a "foxy" politician, who has heen nhle to mflkfl successful aDnealS for votes by subterfuge and flattery in ( the interest of his political idol. Sen ator Chamberlain; granted that he has been an accomplished grandstand art ist posing for popular approval, have I not said it all? Think of Oswald West preparing an Inaugural address and a message to the Legislature! Think of him as form ulating a veto mesage on some great question of legislation! Think of him as meeting the President of the United States or some other great dignitary, with an address of welcome or in an attempt to do the honors of his great state with men of statesmanship and Nation-wide knowledge.
