AU Interested are invited. of Edward Cooklngham. vice-president of the Ladd & Tllton Bank, who outlined the Aldrlch plan for the revision of the monetary system of the United States. Mr. Cooklngham agrees with Senator A Id rich's proposals, aa a whole, but dif fers with hlra aa to some- of the leaser details. The speaker began hta talk by review ing the financial panics of 187S, 189S and 1907, which, he declared, had Impressed apon the minds of the thinking men of the country the fact that our present monetary system la built on a foundation of sand. Aldrlch System Lauded. First explaining carefully to his audi tor! by means of direct statements and the recalling of Incidents of financial history, the fact that the life of the banking business Is based on confidence, Mr. Cooklngham went on to laud the Aldrlch system, which provides for a central bank similar to the Bank of Eng land, the Bank of France and those of other European countries, the stock to be held by the National banks of the United Statea. The speaker expressed the belief that banks operating under other than Na tional charters, constituting 18.000 of the 26,000 in the United States and con trolling, he said, perhaps two-thirds of the bank deposits of the country, should NOTED GAY MINSTREL OWNS OREGON RANCH George Primrose, Appearing at Pantages, Recalls Old Day Passed in Port land and Looks Forward to Enjoying Ranch Life in Northwest. BT UtOSB CARS BAaR. LCm SUPPOSE the biggest bromldlom "I an actor springs la that one I about "being glad to grt back here. said George Primrose yesterday evening In a caught-on-the-run hat In his dressing-room at Pantages. "But In my case theres-a reason. I am a landowner, a real holder of prop erty here and you can bet I'm mighty glad of It. I made my first trip out to my place thla morning. It's about five miles out of the city, and over a road that beats any scenic railway I ever saw. I've got 40 acres there, and have a dandy good-looking bungalow built ready for occupancy. You aee I bought this property many years ago. and I don't mind saying that I waa skinned la the deal. I bad to let tt lie for awhile, and aa a proof that everything cornea to hlm-who walta" long enough. my property today has many times trebled In value. I tell you there's money In Oregon land." Here the old-time minstrel man waxed aa enthusiastic as a full-fledged rewl estate promoter, and dwelt at great length on the wondera of the land around Portland In general and his own bit of property In pertlcular. He'a coming back to Portland In July, when hla tour enda In Denver and will spend the Summer here. -I want to retire permanently soon." he said, "and I can't think of a nicer place to spend the rest of the time than right here. I want to be here particularly this Summer to see the roaes. Just think. I've been coming to this city ever since lS0 and I've never yet spent a Summer day here. Everywhere I go I hear about the Oregon Summers and the roses. Always on my prior visits, excepting for one season when I appeared on the Orpheum circuit. I was kept so busy rehearsing my minstrel men. seeing after the two street concerts and par adea dally and giving long perform ances that I never had time to visit or look about the country. Today I saw more of the river and country adjoin ing Portland than I've ever seen In all my other trips put together." Urged to "reminisce." Mr. Primrose recalled the daya In 18S0 when he played In the old New Market theater on Front street. "There were trees everywhere, with paths and wooden walks leading In any and all directions- My company was known aa the Barlow. Wilson. ITImro-e & West company. Of these four.

The Portland Lum ber Milla now stsnd on the spot thst was our ball-field, and I have met elderly men here since who have re called with me the games we played there." Mr. Primrose haa a fund of old time happenings that would require a Sun day aupplement to record, and a short hand expert to take down while he chats happtly away. Time haa touched lightly the man who haa been known for yeara as America's most graceful dancer. He says' that he doesn't feel old. "Just aa long aa my heart and my toea are light and happy. I'm going to keep amlllng and atay young." he said. Mr. Primrose Is accompanied by his brother "AU" who. for JO years, has acted as hla advance manaxer. Now that he Is In vaudeville.

He also disagreed with Mr. AJdrich's view that additions to sur plus should cease when it bsd reached 20 per cent of the bank's capital, declar ing that the surplus should grow In ac cordance with the Increasing business which such a financial Institution would have to handle. He sJso pointed out that financial psDlcs would be practically Impossible with a central bank In existence which would be in a position to discount all good negotiable paper or Issue notes in Its stead. Difference in Men Discnssed. Lydell Baker, editor of the Pacific Banker, gave the young men a good, old-fashioned talk on the requisite nec essary to success in the banking or any other profeaalon, choosing aa the title of hia addreaa, "The Difference in Men. Dr. Andrew C. Smith, president of the Hibernla Savings Bank, who also spoke, limited hia remarks to a felici tation on the good work which the Portland chapter of the American In stitute of Banking la doing in behalf of the younger members of the bank ing profession in Portland.

Mayor Simon was a guest, but his presence waa conditioned upon hia not being aaked to make a speech. He waa, however, given a splendid ovation when reference was made to him. Miss Rheta M.

Mrasoarl Learns More of Method; in Controlling- Trader Curtailment of Ontpot Admitted. ST. LOUIS. May 13. That the secre tary of the Yellow Pine Manufacturers' Association fixed the monthly price list of the organization arbitrarily, ofen without reference to trade conditions, reported by 63 correspondents, and that this, price list waa binding on members were assertions which Assistant Attorney-General Atkinson sought to prove today In the hearing of the state's oukr suit against the so-called lum ber trust. In an effort to show that George K. Smith, the secretary, waa an absolute power In fixing tbe price list the As sistant Attorney-General cited that the secretary raised the price for Febru ary, 1908, 60 cents a thousand feet over the January price, although but one correspondent quoted a higher price. Smith's explanation was that he had other information direct from members on which he based the increase in the coat of lumber. An abstract of an address at a meet ing in New Orleans in 1905 by J. Lewis Thompson, of Woodward, Tex., was read, explaining how an increase -in prices and curtailment at the mills were affected. It said In part: "Pardon mo when I refer to our meet ing In New Orleans. Just one year ago, when we came feeling we were on the eve of a volcanic eruption, commer cially speaking. "By two daya of co-operation at that time we were made to feel that we had grown richer by Jl per thousand feet on all the lumber that we had In stock, but through the lack of co operation In less than 90 daya we found tne volcano had erupted and prices in a fair way to seek the bottomless pit. "We began to seek a remedy through our organisation. How well we suc ceeded is a matter of history. I refer to the curtailment movement which, I understand, with a few exceptions has been universal. That prices are what they are today is the result solely of this curtailment movement." An ironclad agreement between or ganisations representing the wholesale lumber firms and retail dealers prohib iting "poaching" and providing for the punishment of wholesalers who sold, or retailers who bought, outside the prescribed limits, was described in an official circular introduced as evidence. The circular was written by W. G. Hollls and embodied Holll' understand ing of an agreement .made in Chicago In 1903, according to G. K. Smith. The results of the agreement did not come up to expectations. Smith testi fied, and It was abrogated two years later. The Northern Pine Association never agreed to the circular and the Yellow Pine Association was advised that It was not a good thing to do. When Smith was asked If his associa tion was told the agreement waa in violation of the anti-trust lawa he made an indefinite reply.
