a the subject iMinnril Hovernr West,
but ho discussed many other questions.
He sid ha favored taking over public
utilities. Including telephones and rail
roads, but not until th.lr value and
methfds of operation had been ascer
tained. Renalalloa Ural ttMtfi
U have two telephone companies
in thla stale." said the governor. the
llorna and the Panne telephone, or
Bell system. The Homo fompanv
operates mainly In Portland and
Albany. I believe thai we ahould ac
quire these public utilities as f.tst as
we ran and an fas! as we are able to
take tare of them: but I favor regu
lation as the r)rt Mep toward owner
ship We are moving In that direction.
"Before the eelahl lehmen t of the In
terstate Railroad Oommlsslon we knew
little about the cost or operation of
railroads, but now through the opera
tion of the Interstate Commission we
know all about the railroads and how
t'er are operated. W hen the state, or
any city, undertakes to acquire a piece
of property It must par several prices
for It. I believe that the assessed value
with ;.l per rent added, should be the
price paid for puhllc property. So In
the acquisition of public utilities we
iimiM know the real value, without
aater.
"There Is another matter In which
I am Interested and that ts state Insur
ance. The various companies make
hl rmirtriids that miaht be saved to
the taxpayers of this state. 1 am great
Iv Interested In state Insurance, and
believe that It is comma.
"Taxation a!o Interests me You

were made for several state blllldlna-s

Countv nor!. alxe Portland conelder-aMx-
liie belter of It. according to the
iesMrt -f I'ounlv Judge t'leeton and
County Commissioners l.lghtner and
Hart, on tn.-lr re.tum Sunday night
from Seattle, where they Investigated
King Count s'fairs. The members of
the Court xx.nt north at Ce invitation
of the oinp.ti intereeted In the nianu
fa.turs o; " rrenite." a bard surface
paving t at has teen used lo some ex
lent Ciece.
T-e -vstem employed In the Audi
tors ofti. e In King County, says Mr.
I.lgi tner. is similar to that In Mult
nomah Countx. It costs considerably
more to construct the roads there how
ever, be polnta oat, and the entire tax
rate Is higher than In Multnomnh Coun
ty. The total lax levy there this year
la II mills, while that In Multnomah
County Is S4.4 mills.
The maradam roads In King County,
he says, are constructed at a eost of
about tl0.'"4 a mile, while In Multno
mah County they are built at a cost
of from $1000 to .".0o a mile, and he
thinks Multnomah County roads are in
better shape. The btgti cost of road
construction In the Sound country he
attributes to the faf-i that the work
there la under Ihe supervision of a
county engineer. Instead of tinder a
road supervisor, aa here, and that the
engineer has about 40 assistants, at
salaries ranging from I5S to $150 a
month. Kunhermora. all road work Is
done by contract, which bring the cost
considerably higher than It would bat
If done directly by the county. Nat
ural conditions also tend lo make
roadbtilldlng In that section extensive,
says Mr. l-lghtner. The irravel and road
material have to tie hauled considerable
distances before it la available for
roadhulldlng purposee. while Jn Mult
nomah County the irravel beds and rock,
quarries are practically adjacent to the
roads. King County has about lono
miles of road, and Multnomah County
about 400 miles, but Kin County la
several times larger than Multnomah
County. For road funds this year the
Northern state county has IZSO.ooO.
. Tiie members of the County Court
were pleased with the reault of their
invesxtigaiions of the new paving, al
though thev do net think that laid In
King County has been thoroughly test
ed. It has been down 14 months and
thus far has given good service. Four
teen miles are In use. Travel on King
Countv roads Is about one-tenth that
on the Multnomah roads, says Mr.
I.ttrhtner. as the country about Seattle
Is not the farming kind of that about
Portland. Here C e rouds are contin
ually In tise bv farmers hauling their
products to the city, while such is not
the case around Seattle. Light auto
mobile traffic forma a large portion of
road travel In the North.
A trial may be given the new pav
ing here. It Is believed that If it proves
satisfactory it can he used In redress
ing roads at a cost of about (lono a
mile Its manufacturers assert the new
pavement is smootil and dualtess. Thus
far Multnomah County has no hard sur
face roads outside of Portland.

I ir. White had many experiences
anile automobiling in the snow and he
said that the chauffeurs exert as mucli
Ingenuity In overcomlng'dlff Iculttes In
isolated places as the pioneer stage

The petition of the Pilot Butie Canal
waterusers charged that some of the
residents In the vicinity of Ihe canal
were to blame for the Impure condition
of the water. This canal Is the only
source of water supply for the people
living near the canal, and one town .
putting In a water system which will
depend entirely upon the canal. Ir.
White found the charges lo be true and
took steps to remedy the conditions.
"At Knterprlse. where I was yester
day." said lr. W hite, "the temperature
was only a few degrees above aero.
The trip up the teschutes Canyon la
most Interesting. A very fine station

land Neit Summer.
Personal Invilaliona were sent out by
the Rose Festival management yester
day, not only to the seven Governor of
Western state who will head the dele
gation to the Northwest Development
Congress at Seattle Just before the
festival, but to all state executive west
of the Mississippi, asking them xto
come here a guests of the festival and
hold a Governors" rongres at that time.
The Governor will be given position
of honor at every festival function held
during their stay.
Correspondence received by the Rose
Festival management within the past
few weeks shows that Inqulrle hax-e
been received not only from every atate
In the Cnlon. from Canada. Mexico. Ha
waii the Philippine, but it likewise
seems that Portland folk who are
traveling In the Old World have been
."olr.g good missionary work. letter
ftom numerous points abroad have been
received requesting that the writer be
provided with as much data and de
scriptive matter a is available.
In the list of correspondence through
out the I'nlted States, the volume of
mall received from the Atlantic sea
board ha been unusually heavy of late.
This Is particularly true in the rase
of Elk lodge, which will not have big
enough delegations to come by special
train direct to the grand lodge reunion,
but which have heard of the wonders
of the Rose Festival and desire to form
small parties to come out for the fes
tival and remain In the Pacific North
west until the Klks' convention, the
Golden Potlatch and other attractions
are held. The round-trip rate Is the
same and the return limits will make
such a comprehensive sight-seeing tour
possible.
"fust-Card Iay l aluahlr.
Many of these Inquiries have come
directly to the festival headquarters,
but every day letters are turned over
by the various commercial organiza
tions, by the Portland railroad official
whose line are doing much valuable
advertising throughout the territory
they reach. A considerable portion of
the Inquiries are sent to Portlanl peo
ple by relatives and frUndg in the
Kast. and to such an extent, that the
great value of having an annual "Post
Card day" ha become at once appar
ent. Thl year the acheme wa Inaugu
rated and made a state-wide movement
under proclamation by Govermxr West.
The dale w-as February 22. and thou
sands of Oregonlnn wrote to friends
and relatives.
Kvldently nearly every Portland resi
dent must have extended a special in
vitation to the Easterners to come out
here for the Rose Festival In June, for
a great Increase In the number of In
quiries received by the festival board
was apparent w-lthln ten days after
"Post-Card day." The mall are still
bringing In scores of application for
literature, for rates, for general pro
grammes and for general data.
Assssl ohserx aaee I'rged.
In the face of this showing Presi
dent Ralph W. Ifoyt will strongly urge
upon the people of Portland and of the
state to observe every year such an
occasion.
"The Immense value of It to the Rose
Festival has been indicated In an as
tonishing manner." he said yesterday.
"People In the Fast or Middle West
have, of course, heard about the Rose
Festival through the railroads and
other publicity agents as well as from
their friends who have attended one of
our show, but this year, tens of thou
sands of them have received a direct
and personal invitation from their ac
quaintances out here and their inter
est has been aroused much more keenly
than through any other means. It Is
keeping tie busy replying to this class
of correspondence."
SCOUT CAMP TO FORM
AICTIIIK KVAXS WOOD ll.AXS
OKUANIZATIOX II ERK.
tcv. J. K. Snyder. lio lad Walk
out al Auditorium, Says Disre
spect Was t Intended.
At a meeting tit be held this week
by person Interested In the Boy Scout
movement steps will be taken toward
the formation of a Portland camp.
Thl announcement was made last
night by Arthur Evans Wood, of Reed
College, who Is one of the men inter
ested in the plan to organize a camp
of Boy Scouta here. Mr. Wood wa
unprepared to ay Just what the char
acter of the new organisation would
be. further than that no military ele
ment would be Included. The organ
izers would, he said. be Influenced
largely by the Ideas presented by Gen
eral Baden-Powell In hi addresses
here.
The incident at the Gipsy Smith au
ditorium Saturday afternoon, on the
occasion of General Baden-Powell s ad
dress, when Socialist and members of
the I. W. W. hissed and Jeered at the
speaker throughout his address and
later, has been deplored by clllxen
aa an outrage and one of the worst ex
amplea of lawlessness the city has ever
known.
Rev. J. K. Snyder, of the Piedmont
Presb) terisn Church, who. with his
class of 35 boya. was present at the
meeting, declared that the behavior of
the men toward General Powell was a
disgrace to the city and an Insult to a
world citizen.
"Our boy wanted to hear General
Baden-Powell." aald Mr. Snyder ye
terday. "We talked the matter over
the night before and decided to go in
a body. When we got to the audito
rium we found ourselves in the midst
of a lot of men. who began hooting
and Jeering at the speaker. I told the
boya I thought It was no place for
them, and we started out. It wa not
Intended aa a sign of disapproval of
the speaker" remarks. I am person
ally not very much In favor of the
cout movement, I am opposed to the
mllltry feature of It. In this day and
age of the world I don't think we
should educate boys along that line.
Pur boys are organized on a more con
atructlve plan. We take long hikes
out Into the country and study the
planta and birds: have campflres and
story-telling, t do not think we shall
become Identified with the movement.
I admire General Baden-Powell: he is
a great man."
D. A. Grout, assistant superintendent
of achoola. who was also present at
the auditorium, expressed hts regret
that uch a disgraceful exhibition
should have occurred here. He deplored
the fact that General Baden-Powell
ahould have been aubjected to such
insults, but even more be regretted
that the boy present should have had
uch an experience. He believed it
might have a bad effect- The success
of the Boy Scout movement, he aaid.
would depend entirely upon the sort of
men who were to have charge of it.
Mr. Grout believed they must not only
understand boy, but have the power
to hold them.
Jamea Laidlaw, British Conul. waa
deeply mortified. He ald he did not
think there were any real workingmen
In the audience: that the disturbance
was the work of loafers.
"General Badan-Powell certainly
made It plain that there waa no mili
tary element in th movement," aaid
Mr. Laidlaw yesterday.
"I don't see what harm there would
be In It. anyway. It la a good thin;
to have military training. Dlaclpllne is
rood for any boy. Military training
doesn't necessarily mean that a boy
must go out and hoot somebody."
Mrs. R. H. Tate, of the Congres of
Mother, regretted that women were
not Invited to the meeting. She
thought mothera should have been giv
en an opportunity to hear General
Baden-Powell. From what he had
read of the General' speech she wa
favorably Impressed with hla plan for
boys.
H. M. Esterly, of the Boys" Club A
aociatlon. who ha had a number tf
years" experience with boy through
his work with the Juvenile court, ex
pressed his approval of the Boy Scout
movement, commending even the mili
tary features which are part of Ita or
ganization In aome places. Military
training, he did not think, tend to
make boy belligerent: on the con
trary, he thought the discipline excel
lent in every way.

South Tort land Property Holdex
Object to Delay In Purchase of
Xecesary Ground.
Residents of South Portland, having
property on the proposed boulevard,
have sent a communication to Mayor
Rushlight and the members of the
Park Board, requesting prompt action
in regard to the purchase of the neces
sary ground. In case the city does not
carry out the project, they ask that
their proport be released at once, o
that they will no longer be held In
suspense as to what Is to become of it.
Mayor Rushlight and Park. Superin
tendent Mische have been working on
the boulevard project a long time. They
have been trying to reach agreement
with property-owners concerned as to
prices, and the Mayor and Mr. Mische
passed all of yesterday afternoon In
South Portland, going over the ground.
Nearly all of the people, the Mayor
savs. are asking too much for their
property and condemnation proceed
ings may have to be Initiated. There Is
no doubt as to the Intention of the city
authorities to execute the project.
The letter of the South Portland res
idents follows:
We the undenlsned. owners of property
a-lthln Ihe scope of the proposed northerly
extension of the Hillside Boulevsrd In u'h
Portlsnd. beg to call your sitentlon to tne
fact that ever since the Boulevard was sur
veyed about three years ago our property
has been effectually tied up. the eonstsnt
Kitallon on Ihe subject without definite ac

terfered with and prevented handling our
property, either In the way of selling. rent
In, or pleusin It. ss well ss rreslly dls

property or adjoining streets or even making

there.
Although some of us must necessarily sse-rlfw-e

the Boulevsrd. nor sre we Inclined to op

msy be neceaary for that purpose. If done
at reasonable and fair valuation; but wa
have awaited decisive action on the part of
the city long snd patiently, and we protest
against beln held In suspense sny longer.
This project has been under consideration
for a number of years, the expenditures were
suthorlxed by rots of the people more than
four snd a half years ago. and the actual
cash has been In the city Treasury for this
specific nurpose for nesrly five months. Thla
Insetlon has been a serious dsmsge to the
district affected, tending to retard Its prog
ress snd development. with no redress on
our part, and Justice now demands that we
should no longer submit, without vigorous
protest, to the delsys resulting from the
policy which hss beejt pursued.
We. therefore. hereby earnestly and ur
