Fei ei r Ceefrree Pi alee Hla.
Members who served on the Bosrd
f Education while Mr. Wittenberg waa
member of that body bad the highest
praise for his work as their associate
In the pnbllo service.
"I came on the Board during Mr.
Wittenberg's lsst yesr aa a member.
said H. C. Campbell, last night. "That
was In 1)04. AH of us who worked
with him had the highest admiration
for his energy and efficient hard work,
and the unflagging Interest be dis
played In everything which he believed
would be for the betterment of the
school system.
"As a member of the School Board."
said Mrs. L. W. Sltton. I always found
Mr. Wittenberg deeply Interested In his
work. He was progressive and con
scientious and always endeavored to be
Impartial and Just to ail."
J. v. Beach, who was a member of
the School Board during the time In
Vhich Mr. Wittenberg served, said:

of the taxpayers, and always Just and
fair in his treatment of the teachers
and employes of the schools.'"
Loss Deemee. Irreparable.
I knew Herman Wittenberg from
boyhood." said I. X. Fleischner, "and
I was closely associated wltb him In
public affairs and In many of the city s
foremost enterprises. Together we
served on the board of directors of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition, the Mer
chants' Protective Association, the
Chamber of Commerce, the Board of
Education and many other public and
private organisations. He waa a man
of energy and a hard worker. While
on the Board or Education ne waa
deeply Interested and gave much of his
time to the work during the ten years
that he was a member. I have seen
blm many a time excoriate bitterly
someone he believed was attempting to
take unjust advantage of the Board.
He was strictly conscientious, and
wanted others to be the same. In his
death Portland and the entire state
have suffered an Irreparable loss. Men
like him are rare."
EXTRAVAGANCE IS HIT
AD CLm SPEAKER PLEADS IJOR
BISINESS ECONOMY.
E. D. Timms Declare World Is
Looking for Men Who Do Not
Live to Re "In Swim."
"A large percentage of the young
business men of Portland." aald E. T.
Timms. addressing the Ad Club at Its
luncheon yesterday on Reformation of
the Business Man. "are living far be
yond their means. And If you want
to know what the substantial business
men think about, they think that a
man who continually spends more than
he earns Is a fool for doing It."
In a speech that biased with keen
epigrams, Mr. Ttmms protested against
what he declared was prevailing tend
ency to extravagance for the sake of
keeping up appearances and "being In
the swim."
"When I say young business men."
said he. by way of taking the sharp
edge off his remarks, "understand tbat
I mean we" myself, perhaps, aa well
as anyone else.
"I am not considering the matter
from a moral aspect, and am not try
ing to make this a sermon. If a man
baa reached a stage of business solid
ity where lie can afford to indulge In
frivolities, that Is a different matter,
but to the young man they are wrong
until be Is able to afford them In com
parison wltli bis business."
He pointed out automobiles as one
of the great manias that Is Influencing
men to live beyond their means.
"People of Portland are auto craxy."
be declared, and cited an Incident of
a young business man who applied
for a loan at a bank with no security
to offer except a home already mort
gaged and a 11500 automobile.
"And he wondered why hla security
was not good," aald Mr. Timms. "He
could not see tbat secured under snob
means his automobile was not an asset,
but a liability.
"The consuming desire of the present
day men seems to be to 'make a flash.'
But when yon have made your flash
and come to a substantial banker for
assistance. It turns out that. In his
eyes. It was a flash of powder and you
are the smoke."
Mr. Timms declared that men who
bewailed their environment were of
fering no excuse for extravagance, for
a man can choose his environment, and
that the man who held that the world
owed him a living waa nothing better
than a hobo.
H. C Noble, general passenger agent
for the Great Northern, was a guest
at the luncheon and gave a short ad
dress on co-operation In advertising.
President Clarke announced the ap
pointment of the committees for 1)12
and announced O. B. Lindsay aa chair
man for the next luncheon. A commit
tee will be appointed by the Ad Club
to co-operate wltb other clubs of the
city for the furtherance of the state
wide farm culture movement.

that the price of oils will be Increased
in case of the exclusion of the Stand
ard and t'nlon OH Companies from the
city under the terms of an ordinance
passed by the City Council last week
and now before the Mayor for consid
eration. The Union Company, through
L. II. Crang, local agent, said that his
company will submit no bids for fuel
oil to be used at the City Hall until It
Is known whether the companies must
move out of the city, because, he ex
plained, he could not tell what the
cost would be for delivery.
The city has lust advertised for fuel
ell for Its engine and boiler-rooms.
Prices heretofore quoted are not to
hold, apparently, in case Mayor Rush
light signs the ordinance now before
him and the companies have to move.
as they have said officially that prices
will be Increased.
