"As an Illustration of how well Portland Is thought of In California. he explained, "everyone In Los An geles, when they learned that I was coming here, declared that I was com ing to the best town on the Coast out side of Los Angeles. "When I arrived in Fan Francises on my way here all whom I met said, Well, outshte of Ban Francisco.

ONTARIO TO WATER LAND Scheme) to Bring Settlers to Bo Pro posed at Irrigation Congress.

February 1-21. sending a delegation to explain In run tne new irrigation scheme by which it intends o bring settlers to 1004 acres of land In the near vicinity of Ontario. . The Ontario Commercial Club planned, launched and Is financing the scheme, from which It expects to reap nothing more than fair Interest on the funds expended and an addition of good producing agricultural land to its resources. Electric pumping sta tions wIU be Installed in the Snake lUver. by which the 1000 acres Is ts be put under Irrigation. It will be sold to settlers only in small tracts of from five to ten acres, at prices of 10 to $125 an acre, which Js sup posed Just barely to cover the expenses of putting In the Irrigation plant and fair Interest on the Investment. J. a White, of Riddel, will also at tend the Irrigation Congress with sn explanation of the new system that Is to be put in operation In the South Umpqua Valley next Summer. Responses have been received from a number of prominent men In all parts of the United States, indicating great Interest In the coming meeting.

Hughes, of Baa Francisco, will deliver a lecture en "A Biography of the Boy" In the Sonnyslde Methodist Church Satur day evening, at S o'clock. Thla lecture Is largely the outgrowth of an earnest study ef "the boy" while the bishop was president of De Pauw University, during which time he was also president of the State Board of Education of Indiana. Bishop Hushes la not only an educator of National reputation, but ts also one of the most popular lecturers and attractive after-dinner speakers on the public platform today. The lec ture Is given by special request. the minutes of the meeting, since he will be prevented from attending, and does not wish to lose the advantage of the assembly of irrigation people. A. P. Davis, 'chief engineer of the United States Reclamation Service, will attend In person from Washington, D. C. and says that upon special request of F. H. Newell, director of the depart ment, he will serve as Mr. Newell's official representative also. An invitation was sent yesterday to Arthur Hooker, secretary of the Na tional Irrigation Congress,, to attend the congress and explain the plans and purposes of the larger organisation and ways In which the state organiza tion can co-operate with It. Scores of letters have been received, announcing delegations from nearly all of the more Important Eastern Oregon towns, where Interest in Irrigation plans seems to be especially strong. HSPECTOR PLAN Lie T. M. C. A. SECRETARY INDORSES REALTY BOARD'S PROPOSAL. Warning- Public Against Question able Enterprises Is Advocated by Portland Organization OfflclaL Hearty Indorsement of the movement Initiated by the. Realty Board and other business Interests of Portland to ap point an Inspector, with official power. If possibles to warn the public against such questionable enterprlsi-a as th Columbia River Orchard Company. Is given by H. W. Stone, general secre tary of the Portland Young Wen's Christian Association. Mr. Stone's opinion on this subject Is of special value-, as the Y. M. C. A. for more than a year has conducted an advisory de partment for the purpose of helping strangers and the unwary to guard against worthless Investments. Through Investigations made by the T. M. C. A., Mr. Stone says that he is certain an official -working to combat "get-rlch-quick" schemes would have plenty to do. While the Columbia River Orchards Company is notorious as the most extensive fraud that has been worked. Mr. Stone believes that smaller concerns operating along sim ilar lines should not be overlooked. By Instituting careful Inquiries, he de clares, many small companies that are crooked would be put out of business, thus not only protecting Investors, but guarding the Interests of legitimate firms. "Portland probably has no more fake firms than other cities." said Mr. Stone, "but In every large city there are concerns that exist by preying on the savings of people lack In if in busi ness experience. I am glad to say that there are probably fewer such firms operating here than there were a year ago. But the cases that come to our advisory department snow mat tners is need of concerted action by our com mercial bodies to weed out the crooks whose operations reflect on the city's legitimate business, besides robbing those who are unable to protect them selves. "It Is Interesting to note some of the cases that are brought to the attention of the Y. M. C A. One of the most frequent is the offer of sale of an In terest In a real estate company. Often a buyer of such an Interest soon dis covers he has nothing except some nearly worthless office furniture. Of course a proposition of this kind might be legitimate, and this Is Just where an Inspector would be useful. Then there- are concerns that offer guaran teed salaries after the applicant has paid a stated sura for lessons in the business. After paying for the leesons, if ths scheme is a fraud, the applicant finds he Is required to put up a large cash bond In order to get the position, something that be la unable to do. In some cases that have come to our no tice the applicant has put op the cash bond and been robbed of It." Among the most productive Industries of Corra are Its fold mtna, and eatxtclally those controlled by.

At the monthly meeting of the board of trustees of the church Wednesday, it was decided that, in spite of the fact that the church has been running slightly behind In Its finances for a few Sundays, ths appropriation for ad vertising would be continued. One member of the board protested against the expense, and Insisted that with the church going behind, expenses ought to be curtailed. "The wise merchant doubles his ad vertising when business Is bad." was the prompt answer of another member of the board. "Besides," he added. "I believe that if one soul has been saved as the result of the advertising we have done In the last few weeks. It was chesp salvation. I mors that the advertising appropriation be con tinued." And the motion was carried with out a dissenting voice. Dr. Delmer H.

Madlgan Says Clifford, Rob ertson, Now Gone, Couldn't Read! as Well as She Can, but Pays $12.50 to Hear Him. Felony warrant against Clifford Rob ertson, dramatic teacher, who suddenly dropped out of sight Monday night, was filed In Municipal Court yesterday, and the city detectives have been asked to seek the Thespian in his supposed ref uge in California. The complainant is Dr. Mary V. Madi gan, who has offices In the Dekum building. Dr. Madlgan said she thought someone ougrht to make formal com plaint against the man, and as no one else came forward she had decided to do so herself. Dr. Madlgan paid Robertson $12.50 in part payment for a course of les sons, and received none. She went for one sitting, which was occupied partly In listening; to a reading by her techer. "He couldn't read as well as I could," says the physician. "Robertson passed the rest of the evening In telling what a great man he was. He represented himself as being especially strong In rescue work among girls and as a close collaborator with Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin. Ex-Convict Given Aid. "One ex-convlct was the regular re cipient of his bounty to the amount of $10 a month, he related. A noticeable scar on his forehead, the dramatic teacher said, was from a wound re ceived In the Boer War." Returning at the next set time. Dr. Madlgan found her teacher suffering from a severe toothache, and he begged her indulgence till a later date. That date arriving, he was gone, with the butcher, the baker and the candle stick maker hammering on the door of his vacated flat and office (rent un paid). Robertson Is Delinquent. Robertson id delinquent to the les sees of the Ellers building to the ex tent of $140, and has been dunned fre quently of late. Rumors of other short ages, some of them due to aspiring em bryo stars, reached the ears of his creditors. He called himself the Clifford Robert son School of Dramatic Art. and Issued literature tending to show that he had notable masters in his work. A picture and description of the man will be sent by Captain Baty to the California cities with request for Rob ertson's arrest.
