Mr. Klllinssworth referred to the In activity of the police, declaring that the department was In a chaotic condl ton and afraid to molest the nlKhtly meettnea of tha soap-box asritatora. lHe said that the street orators and their followers had been permitted to be come) organized Into a strong power In sowing aeeda of discontent and that the city officials should be censured for their Indifferent attitude In permitting disgraceful practice and utterance of the street orators. "It Is a shame and a disgrace to the city to allow thla thing to continue." said Mr. Killlngsworth. "These tdl and dangerous men have been given a free hand In breeding anarchy, dis content and lawlessness In I'ortland. They have a power over tha police. The police are afraid to molest them. "These men have been allowed to utter night after night traitorous tyid Insulting remarks about our flag, our Nation, our laws and our Institutions. They have, been overstepping the mean ing of free speech. They have been making threats of violence and destruc tion of property. The condition has be come most critical and the people of Portland cannot and must not tolerate these practice any longer. It Is up to us to meet the situation. Mayar I'rgeel tm Art. "The Mayor must be Informed to do hi duty in this matter at once. Un less Immediate plana are taken to expel these dangerous characters from our city. It will remain for an army of law-abiding and determined citi zen. 10. coo in number If necessary, to take the situation In their own hand and remove this disturbing element bodily from the city." Other speaker referred to the In cident at the Baden-Powell meeting last week when the gathering waa broken up by I. W. W. sympathiser as "the most disgraceful episode that ever occurred In the city." The members of th committee, ap pointed to wait on the officials are: G. B. Cellars. W. H. Chapln. C. T. Prall. H. P. Palmer. H. W. Frte. W. II. Mall. W. A. Storey. Ben Riealand. C. K Ilenry and C. C. Craig. A. G. Clark, president of the Portland Ad Club, gave a short aaldreea on ad vertising, lie pointed out the neces sity of honest method In advertising. Judge Morrow, of the Circuit Court, discussed the suhlect of advertising In Its relation with the law. He aaid that sentiment waa growing atronger for more honorable real estate trans actions and predicted that the time would soon be at hand when adver tising fakers and crooked promoters would be entirely eliminated from the bustaes world. J. D. LEE TELLS OF FINANCE Secretary of League Kcturn From Conference on Banking Reforms. J. r. Lee. secretary of the Oregon section of the National Cltisen League, for the promotion of a sound banking avstem. ha returned from attending a general meeting of the presidents and secretaries of the National and state leagues, held recently In Chicago, and reports aa enthusiastic and Important gathering. "Tha people throughout tha country are becoming more fully advised." Mr. Lee said, "of the absolute non-partisan nature of the monetary reform move ment and of Ita vital Importance to every class of our people. A Informa tion spreads. Interest Increases, and preconceived prejudice vanishes. "The league hopea to see the money oligarchy of New York overthrown and reserves from all source ao allied to gether and the entire banking power of the country so federated that money panlca would be practically precluded, ao Uiat we should be at least on an equal footing with Europe, where no money panic ha occurred for mora than a half century. The Independence of the league wa shown by its refusal to fully Indorse the bill of the monetary commission, which is now before Congress. Its main feature were commended, but It waa felt that It could be Improved and perfected In some respects. 'The league favored the proposed In vestigation, by Congress, of the meth od of the money power." Mr. Lee believes that the present Is the opportune time for financial re form. "Our Western bankers are still ag grieved." said Mr. Lee. "at the custo dians of their reserves In New York, who early In October. 1907. wired the bankers that it would be useless to draw against their reserves, thereby precipitating a panic which would have been most calamitous but for the In tervention of the prolonged holiday and the Issuing of clearing house certifi cate. "The work of organising In Oregon Is under way. It Is recommended that each voter request of his representa tive In Congress a copy of the Mone tary Commission's report and accom panying bill that he may study the plan proposed, and note the safeguards therein provided against possible domi nation In great monetary centers." POBTLH WILL BENEFIT RAILWAY OFFICIAL SAYjJ CITY WILL DKAW TOVKISTS. Vllnr to San Franrlico F.ipoUlon, Colonel Moody Sa. Will Come to Northwest.

Predicts Portlaad Beaeflts From Paaaaaa J CaaaL Portland will share almost equally with San Francisco." said Colonel Sam uel Moody of Pittsburg, passenger traffic manager of the Pennsylvania lines, while on a visit to Portland yesterday. Colonel Moody is accom panied by C. L. Kimball of Chicago, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines. Thoy are mak Ing a tour of the Coast for the pur- nose of stud-ling traffic conditions. "The Panama-Pacific exposition will Inaugurate the new era of develop ment that is sure to come to the Coast as a result of the Canal, said Colonel Moodv. "Portland has just as much chance to profit from the exposition as has Kan Francisco. Fully 80 per cent of the people that go to the fair will travel one way through Portland. We are arranging to route all the business we can through thia city. Thousands of exposition visitors will remain permanently on the Coast. Portland ha a better chance or gain ing them than haa San Francisco. Ac commodations In California cities will be crowded all the time, and when the people got to Portland they will find breathing space. "Aa a matter of fact. I should Ilka to come here to live myself. I have always liked this old town. Everyone here seems to be chasing an Idea. Ev eryone moves as though he haa an object In life. It's not like It la In many Eastern cities that I know of. where people walk along at a gall that Indicates that they have a whole day to walk a block and with nothing to do when they get to the end of the block. Here It's different. That'a what makes this a good town." Colonel Moody Is one of the most picturesque charactera In the passen ger business and I the recipient of almost constant attentions wherever he goes. At San Francisco he was given a banquet by the exposition man agers. Illustrative of the purpose of the forthcoming exposition, he tofd them the story of John Robinson, the veteran circus man. Robinson wa In the market for horses. He visited several stables and everywhere waa shown, animals with past performance records. Horses that had won racea and horse that had distinguished themselves for drawing heavy loads were offered him. Finally the showman gave up In disgust and exclaimed: "What I want la an Mzzer.' Tou have shown me nothing but "has-beens." " "The aame situation applies to the expositions we have had and are about to have In this country," aald the Colonel. "In 187. we celebrated the signing of the Declaration of Indepen dence at Philadelphia. In 1S9I we com memorated the landing of Columbus with the world's xfalr at Chicago. Tha St. Loul exposition and the Lewis and Clark fair In Portland likewise com memorated past event. "The San Francisco ehow will be the first In honor of a present-day event. It will be an 'ixzer in every respect." Mr. Moody and Mr. Kimball met the "Oregon First" excursion party as they were leaving San Kranclsco, but were compelled to decline the Invitation of participating in the festivities. Both men predict a heavy tourist traffic to the Northwest during the approaching season. While In Portland yesterday they in spected a number of store rooms in the retail district, with a view of finding larger quarters for the Pennsylvania passenger and freight office In Port land, which has outgrown Its present rooms on Third street.

BLUE BLOODS OF STOCK 10 BE SEEN Second Annual Pacific North west Exhibition Will Open Monday for 3 Days. PUBLIC URGED TO ATTEND Show al Stockyards Will Be In Great Canvas - Covered Structure. More Tlinn $'000 in Priies Offered. BI ADPISO.V BENNETT. Th Second Annual Pacific Northwest Livestock Show, to give the coming affair Its long but official title, is now almost upon us, the dates being March 18. 19 and 20. Out at the stockyards, where tho show Is to he held, everything prac tically Is in readiness. The great canvas covered structure inclosing the pens and show ring, banked with seats for the spectators, has been prac tically completed, only a few finishing touches being needed yesterday after noon. ' This structure is on the south side of Packer's avenue, about midway be tween the office of the stockyards and the Union Meat Company's plant, the streetcar passing along the avenue In front of It. It differs somewhat from most auditoriums from the fact that there is no ticket window, no box office, no turnstiles through which the visitors must pass. For be it known there will bo no admission fee charged to view the exhibits. It is free In every way to visitors as well as entrymen, and yet there will be more than $7000 dls trihtited In prizes to the successful ex hibitors. Stock Arrive Fast. Much of the stock had already ar rived yesterday, and every hour was bringing more, while by mall and wire and telephone the officials were being apprised every few minutes that other shipment were n route for the show. Shipments are arrivng from all direc tions, and when the doors open Monday morning every section of the Coast will be represented California. ashing ton. Oregon. Idaho. Montana and Utah all having exhibits. Luther W. Conover, of Chicago, said to be one of the best beef experts In the United States, Is to act as judge of fat cattle, and be has telegraphed that he will be on hand to begin his labors Monday morning. But before the official judgo begin his labors there will be a contest of judging between tho students of the agricultural col leges of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. This contest embraces the passing upon horses, cattle, sheep and swine, and the prizes amount to $100. There will be five students from each of the schools mentioned. Prises Arc Offered. The largest prizes are for car lots of steers, these amounting to xiZiS. divided equally between 1. 2 and 3-year-old unlmals, 16 head to represent a car. In addition to these three prizes there is an additional prize of $100 for the champion load of steers, regardless of age. It has been arranged to have practi cally all of the stock on exhibit to morrow, and the management suggests that there will be no better time for visitors to see the animals than from 9 to 6 o'clock tomorrow. There will be no disturbance or interference by Judging, the crowd perhaps will not be so great as on the three days of the show, and most of the visitors will be less rushed for time, so they can sec the animals at their leisure. If there are any persons who have not visited the stockyards, this will be a good opportunity. And it Is im portant to anyone wishing to have i fair Idea of I'ortland that a view of the- stockyards should be had. Those who have knowledge of the yards simply by reading or hearsay have but a faint idea of the importance of the improvements made in North Portland during the last year and a half. An actual visit and Inspection must be made to see what wonders have been wrought In that section. Train to lie Operated. Cars can be taken on Alder street between Second and Third. These are the "L" cars. During the days of the show, trains will run In place of single cars, and these wiil leave every eight minutes and run through without transfer. Now there are two transfers, one at Killlngsworth avenue and one at Kenton. The Judging of the show will be all completed Monday, and Tuesday morn ing tho auction sale of the stock ex hibited will take, place, and Wednes day there will be a sale of draft horses and mares, and of pure bred stock for breeding purposes. This sale will be 0114 of the greatest drawing cards of the show as there are nne lots of cattle and sheep, and a magnificent lot of Puroc hogs. Also some Angora goats. In these lots are many imported ani mds. and the bidding for these and the best of the homo-bred animals promises to be very keen. That there will be a largo number of visitors at the show is now assured. The. transportation lines have made liberal concessions, and many large ex cursion parties will arrive, notably that from Lewlston, which will embrace some 200 of the citizens of that sec tion of country. And from many other places there will be parties of from five t. 50. Hence, as suggested, any Portland residents who wish to see t'te show had better go out tomorrow and avoid the crush sure to be en countered by visitor the following three days. Prise to Be Paid Prosaptly. More than JIO.000 had to bo pro vided in advance, for every premium awarded, will be paid before night fall of the day of award. There was a like show on a more modest scale a year ago, and the attendance then encouraged the promoters to repent it this year. If the attendance and In terest warrant it thero will be an other greater show next year, and the event will then be a fixture. And nothing would do Portland and the state more good than to have a splendid stock show here every year. The great International Livestock Show, annually held at Chicago, has perhaps done that rltv and section more good than anything that ever happened on the lakes, for these shows have been the chief factors In building up the packing-house business to that of first Importance In that city, which In turn has enriched the hundreds of thousands of stock growers, shippers and breeders throughout the Middle West. What that show Is to Chicago and the surrounding territory we can make of our show for Portland and the Northwest. And the men of money stand ready to put up the money to i give these shows, asking of the peo ple generally merely interest enough to attend without cost. EXCURSIONISTS BRIXG LTJXCH Inland Empire Residents Boost Home Products. The 200 excursionists from the In land Empire who will reach Portland to attend the Pacific Northwest Live- I stock Show Monday, have Introduced something of an Innovation into the banquet feature of the programme, for they are literally "bringing their lunon with them."

Deal Car lyle, of the College of Agriculture, said it was his purpose to dispose of most of the stock shipped to Portland. The reception was a great success. It is estimated more than 1000 people visited the barn, were conducted through it and served with refresh ments In the office. "Amorita," tho big Percheron mare, attracted much attention and B. J. Jones, a Palouse farmer, offered Dean Carlyle $2000 cash for this beautiful animal. Dr. Carlyle replied, "No, thank you kindly." TRACT NETS $500,000 700 ACRES IX TIMBER SOLD IX CLATSOP COCXTT. A. M.

Livestock Topics Discussed at Week ly Luncheon of Progressive Busi ness Men's Club. Reminiscences of things as they were years ago, even as tar Dack aa i., when he drove cattle through the Northwestern plains and trails, told In tho rapidly disappearing Western drawl, "were recounted before the mem bers of the Progressive Business Men's Club at the weekly luncheon at the Commercial Club . Thursday noon, by A. Splawn, Mayor of North Yakima. The luncheon was devoted to talks on livestock topics as a timely action in connection with the annual stock show to be held here next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, under the auspices of the Pacific Northwest Llvetuocac Asso ciation.

BRIDGE RENTAL OPPOSED DEM-VXDS OF O.-W. R. & X. AROUSES COUXTV COCRT. Judgo Cleeton Declares 5 Per Cent of Cost Is Too Higli Complica tions Predicted. The demands of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. that the county and the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company pay a yearly rental on the new Steel bridge, amounting to 5 per cent of the cost of the superstructure, has met with opposition at the hands of mem bers of the County Court and from ap pearances much difficulty will be ex perienced in getting the troubles straightened out so that the general public can use tho upper deck of the bridge when it is completed. City Engineer Hurlburt and County Surveyor .Holbrcfok completed yester day a detailed report of the cost of the bridge and Commissioner Lightner Is now busy figuring up the amount the county will have to pay on the 6 per cent basis. County Judge Cleeton says he considers the amount too high. It Is declared that of the 5 per cent the county's proportion will be 3 per cent and the street railway company's share 2 per cent. Judge Cleeton says he considers the county entitled to as much consideration as the railway company. According to the figures of tne city Engineer and County Surveyor the su perstructure of the bridge cost yu.4o7 and the substructure $572,180. It has been estimated that when the figures are brought down to a point where the actual cost of the superstructure upon which the county and the railway com pany have to pay, the monthly rental will be about $1600 for the county.
