Portland Flails to Get Electric Rail
way Association's Meeting- Be-,
canse It Has No Auditorium.
While the absence of a suitable con
vention hall or auditorium will pre
vent Portland from entertaining- the
annual gathering of the American Elec
tric Railway Association next year, tne
convention bureau of the Commercial
Club, through Its manager, R. W. Ray
mond, at almost the same time that It
learned of its failure to secure this
meetinr. arranged to have many of
the Eastern delegates to the convention
of the American Humane Society at
San Franctsco next October routed
throush this city.
Had the city been able to present the
Electric Railway Association with ade
quate meeting- and exhibition facilities,
the meeting undoubtedly would have
been arranged for this city In 1911. ss
on every other point Portland ranked
above its competitors In the contest
for the honors.
In his recent rommnnlcatlon to Man
ager Raymond, declining the invitation
to meet In this city, rt. c uonecKer,
secretary of the association, said that
at all these conventions the electrical
manufacturers make extensive dis
plays of their products. Whole streetcars
are set up in tne Duiiuinn: wnere int
meetings sre held and all the newly-
patented electrical appliances are pre
sented in practical working order.
These displays, therefore, require much
space. It soon became apparent that
Portland would be unable to accom
modate them.
In his reply, however. Mr. Raymond
explained that a new building soon
waa to be erected by the people of this
city. In which ample display apace
would be provided in conjunction wltn
the auditorium proper.
It Is too bad that we have to turn
away any convention. said Mr. Ray
mond, regretfully, yesterday, "and yet
we are face to face with the problem of
securing ample space for them."
He then referred to the fact that It
will be necessary to build a temporary
hall for the Christian Church gather
ing her next Summer, when 10.000
people will be In the city, and declared
that Portland cannot oe too nasty in
the matter of aecurlng ample accom
modations for the bigger gatherings
that might be brought to the city.
In speaking on the same subject at
the Commercial Club a few days ago
a prominent advertising man from the
East said:
'Nothing Is to be compared with
conventions to advertise your city. By
11 means ret them, and as mnny of
them aa you possibly can. In my esti
mation, your work In that direction Is
far more Important man tne secur
ing of factories, for If you can bring
tha men from the East to see what
Portland has. they will come of their
n free will, bringing their capital
and their Industries with them. The
city will grow as a natural conse
quence." Acting on this theory, Mr. Raymond
started a campaign to have delegates
to other conventions on the Coast rout
ed through Portland, believing that If
given the opportunity to see thecltr.
they will make up their minds to re
turn again, perhaps permanently.
Prompt response to his telegrams of
Inquiry and Invitation was received
from Matthew Currle. secretary of the
State Humane Association of Califor
nia, who stated that the officers of that
organisation had arranged to have
nearly all of the Eastern delegates to
the San Francisco meeting In the Fall
of 111 travel through Portland on
either the westbound or return Jour
ney. President Stlllman. of Albany,
N. T also Is communicating with the
local officials In the endeavor to ar
range for a Portland routing.
Manager Raymond says that every
Sort will be made to have the visitors
to the Humane Society convention, as
well as those to msny other meetings,
travel through this city.
"This Is the next best thing to 'get
ting a convention Itself." he argues.

BATTLE WAGED AT DANCE
Local and Interloping- Swains Spill
Ooro at Mount Scott.
Hilarity not bound by conventional
limitations was a feature of sn all-night
dance at Mount Scott Saturday night,
according to reports In the possession of
the city polloe department. Evidence of
the carouse was seen In loads of passen
gers brought In from the suburb on early
cars yesterday morning, and some of the
soberer ones told a police officer that
there had been "a high old time."
Statements of some of those present
were that beer flowed freely and that
fights occurred at short intervals. One
said that the ballroom floor was smeared
with blood and that Bedlam reigned all
night. Young girls scarce able to Keep
their balance because they were drunic.
reeled through the dances with unruly
feet.
The nresenoe of Interloping swains
from the city was resented by the local
gallants snd' the competition lor tne
fairest partners furnisnea many a cause
of flghtlngr The oattie spread inrougn
the suburb snd ramuiea to tne porcnes
of sleeping residents. As the affair took
place outside the city limits no action
was taken by the ponce.

VANCOUVER. Wash.. Dec. 4. (Spe

Justice of the Peace, Is sustained by the
higher courts, every ordinance passed oy
the City Council this year, and perhaps
during the history of the City of Van

The point in question was brought out
in the case of the City of Vancouver
afralnst W. J. Byham and Mary McHale,
for attempting to repair a building with

the work had been refused by the City
Council. Byham was acquitted.

that the city gets Its authority through
statutes of the state by virtue of enact
ment of ordinances. The city official
paper should be designated by ordinance,
according to the statute, and not by reso
lution. The city paper was named by
resolution last Spring, when the contract
.for the city printing was let. The attor
neys contended that as the city paper
was not legally selected, and as the nre
ordinance was passed after the official
paper was designated, the ordinance is
null and void.
It is pointed out that if the paper la
not the official paper, all ordinances pub
lished in It this year are of no effect.
This will Invalidate the election Decem
