CLUBS IS FAVORED
Early Meeting May Be Called
to Effect Unity of Com
mercial Bodies.
LEADERS SEE TASK AHEAD
Elimination of Duplication of Effort
and Added Benefits Put for
ward as Main Reason for
Important Change.
determined are Portland business
men to effort a consolidation of th
Commercial Clob and the Chamber of
Commerce for the purpose of ellmlnat
mc duplication of effort and securlnr
added benefit for the Interests of th
lty and state that It Is probable that
an earlr meeting will be held to out
line plans seeking this end.
As tlie project receives more careful
consideration the fact that It Is one
reoulrlna deep thought and study as
well as well-directed energy and abil
ity becomes apparent. Leaders In the
movement ara becinninc to realise
that it will require much time and
considerable valuable effort to accom
plish the results desired, but they be
lieve tht this time and these efTorts
will be well Invested.
Amonf those who are advocating
either a consolidation of the two bodies
or a combination of them for the pur
pose of obtaining co-operation In gen
eral purpose and a division of detailed
work are T. B. Wilcox, president of the
Tortland Flonrina; Mllla Company;
Harvey Beckwlth. manager for Wells.
Kir co It Co.. and for two years presi
dent of the Commercial Club: W. J.
Ilofmann. advertising manager of The
Orrgonian and ex-secretary of the
Commercial Club: F. O. Crawford, vice
president of the Lumbcrmeni National
Bank, and others.
rsf)let raMll4atla Dlflralt.
Mr. Ilofmann. however, does not be
lieve that It Is possible to effect a com
plete consolidation of the two bodies.
He thinks that they should continue
separately as at present, each exercis
ing its on sphere of usefulness and
each having distinct and well defined
work for It to do.
"Let the Commercial Club handle the
exploitation work that the Chamber of
Commerce now handles, aald Mr. Hof
mann yesterday. -This, together with Its
own exploitation work, would provide
an Important field of activity. Under
the head of exploitation work would
rome the exhibits of Oregon resources
part of which now is conducted
through the Chamber. This would re
quire that the Commercial Club's pub
licity committee be enlarged and sub
divided so that separate sets of men
would have charge of various branches
such as advertising, new industries,
finances for publicity, excursions and
some others that may be auggested.
"The Chamber of Commerce then
ould devote Its time to river and har
bor development. trade extensions,
marine and such other fields that real
lv require separate and careful atten
tion. A plan of this kind ought to
meet with general approval by the
business men. We would then be able
to collect larger funds for conducting
our publicity campaign and yet not re
quire the Individual merchants and
firms to pay as much, as they would
not be assessed twice for the same
purpose. I don't believe that there Is
a commercial organization in the
country doing as much exploitation
work with the same amount of money
as the Commercial Club of Portland.
"This plan appeals to me more, thsn
docs the suggestion to form a com
plete consolidation of the two bodies,
as I don't believe a consolidation can
be accomplished with good results."
T. ft. rt flees Favei-s.
.Mr. Wilcox, who alwaya has been an
advocate of consolidation. Is more
earnestly In favor of It now than ever.
"I first argued for It In 190." he said
teriay. "and I have repeatedly ex
pressed myself on the subject since. I
think everyone knows how I feel on
the subject. It surely ought to be
done. There Is no reason why It ought
not be done and every reason why It
should be done. If any proper basis
for consolidation can be found we
should have complete consolidation."
"I think It is a good thing and for
the best Interests of both organiza
tions." said Mr. Beckwlth. "There la
no question that both the club and the
Chamber work along the same lines
in a good many directions. In my
Incumbency as a member of the board
of governors of the Commercial Club I
frequently discussed the subject with
mcmbers'of the club as well as with
members of the Chamber of Commerce.
While consolidation will vequlre much
time and study I am In favor of It. We
should make provision for having all
uch bodiea aa the Ad Club, the Retail
Merchants' Association, the Manufac
turers' Association, the Credit Men's
Association, the Rotary Club, the Pro
resrlve Business Men's Club and
others represented on our committees
hut should aim to bave them continue
Independent of the central body as at
present. This method of organization
was successful In Chicago and I be
lieve It could be carried out with aim
liar success here."
Mr. Crawford aald that all business
men of his acquaintance are In favor
of the scheme. "It seems to ma It
would bo wise If they could combine."
he said. "The present situation causes
both organlzationa to struggle for the
same result. A combination would
brine about greater benefits and entail
less expense."
KELSO'S PLANS ACCEPTED

WATER MAINS ARE ISSUE
Major and City Koelnr-rr Think
Rnrnne IX-mand Too Great.
Kecardlejs of revenue, the Water
li'jird should Uy certain mains fur tiic
general public good In the opinion of
.Mayor Rushlight and City Engineer
llurlburt. Whether the residents on
thoroughfares to be hard-surfsocd are
sufficient to pay per cent on the cost
of Installation should make no differ
ence, they believe, where It Is neces
sary to open an artery of heavy traffic,
such aa Corbett street. In South Tort
land. fo example.
Because of the fact that Corbeft
street, as well as some others, would
not pay the city per cent on the In
stallation cost, the Water Board recent
ly declined to put In the mains and
sent word to the City Council to tills
effect. Yesterday the street commit
tee considered some of these cases,
nnally referring all to the City Engi
neer. "Corbett street should be paved right
away, so as to mske a second chTef
thoroughfare Into the city from the
south." said the Mayor, "and the mains
should ba laid there, I think. I shall
take this up with the board at the
next meeting and sec what can be
done."
Bids for hard-surfacing Corbett
street will be opened in the Council
next Wednesday and. unless the water
mains are laid soon, the work 'will be
delayed.

Thirty CarnMals and Fetes. Distrib
uted From Vancouver, B. C, to
San Diego, California, to Re-
eelve Kartell si ve Advertising.
President Hoyt and General Manager
Hutchin. of the Rose Festival, returned
lion-.e yesterday afternoon from .an
Francisco, where tney played a leading
part in the permanent organization of
le new Festivals Association of the
l'aclflc Coast, an Idea suggested origin
ally by Mr. Hutchin.
The congress wss held under the aus
pices of the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional Exposition, which Is to form tii
"hub" cround which the entire cycle of
;S or 30 local fetes and carnivals will
swing, and It was the unanimous opin
ion of the SO or more delegates who at
tended the meeting that it was one of
hnontlriar move-
I menta ever undertaken. Delegates vrfrm
. -. . fc. , CnHAt
present rrom every cm
Hope from Vancouver. B. C. to San
Diego, where annual festivals and tour
naments are held. Far-sway Honolulu
and Its Midwinter Tournament of Roses
also was represented at the meeting.
Plasi Approved by AH.
The movement reached a magnitude
at the very first meeting that far ex
ceeded our wildest expectations." said
Mr. Hoyt last night. "We rather
hoped that the Idea would gain enough
ground so that the principal festivals In
California and the Pacific Northwest
would get together and accomplish
something this year, but with the most
enthusiastic support which was ac
corded the plan from the Panama-Pacific
Exposition officials and the dele
gates from all over the Coast, the plan
will reach momentous proportions in a
very short time.
"The Festivals Association is almost
revolutionary In Its character, for the
reason that where all cities which have
held carnivals or annual entertain
ments heretofore have worked Inde
pendently and selfishly, the new scheme
will bring them all Into one harmonious
body and each will help the other In
making the affiliated events pronounced
successes.
President Moore Active.
"President C. C. Moore, of the Exposi
tion Commission, has taken hold of the
plan with characteristic vim and op
timism, and within 24 hours after we
had held the first meeting the publicity
department of the big fair had already
Issued circulars and other forms of lit
erature advertising all the different
festivals embraced In the association,
and thla work will be kept up system
atically from now on."
A second meeting will be held at
San Francisco on April 18. when the
executive committee, consisting of 6ne
representative from each of the subsid
iary organisations, will formulate a
campaign of united exploitation and
publicity, president Hutchin, of the
association, will name his appointments
on this committee within a few days
and will Issue a formal call for a meet
ing. ...
"I am confident that the association
will accept our Invitation to hold an
other general meeting here at Portland
during our coming Rose Festival next
June." said Mr. Hutchin.' "Leadlnsj
Panama-Pacific Exposition officials will
be here. They have already promised
to come, and It is highly probable that
a special train with low excursion rtes
will be needed for the California rep
resentatives and visitors to the Festi
val. Scheme Liberally Advertised.
"Never in my life have I witnessed
such unanimous approbation of a
scheme of this chsracter. And nobody
can begin to estimate the immense
amount of unpurchasable advertising
this association will mean for the Rose
Festival and the kindred fetes and car
nivals held in Pacific Coast cities.
"Before we left San Francisco it waa
announced that Brisbane Walker, who
has been chosen director of publicity
for the San Francisco exposition, will
begin at once the preparation of a cost
ly and voluminous booklet exploiting
each and every one of these festivals.
It will be a part of the publicity cam
paign of the big fair, and at the same
time will be of Invaluable help to all
the other annual celebrations treated In
the book.
"This Is the first time in history when
all the enterprising cities on the Coast
will have burled local and selfish inter
ests and banded together for the com
mon good of all. If nothing else, the
associstlon has resulted In engendering
the finest feeling of harmony and earn
est spirit of co-operation that ever ex
isted among rival communities in the
West."
ASSOCIATIONHEAD FINED
President of "Get-Rlch-Quick" Con
cern I Halted.
For running what tha city license de
partment terms a "get-rlch-qulck" con
cern without obtaining a license. W.
H. Tripp, president of the Mercantile
Advisory Association, wss fined JR0 in
Municipal Court yesterday, and will be
arrested aa often as he attempts to
operate the company In the future. Li
cense Inspector McEachern testified
that the scheme waa the same for
which one man was sent to the peni
tentiary, some yeara ago.
Tripp, formerly a salesman for
"raffle" schemes, asserted the company
was "semi-eleemosynary" and a co-operative
association for the purpose of
lending money to Its members, giving
them legal aid and finding them posi
tions. It has offices in the Gerllnger
building snd has been In operation
three weeks.
McEachern said that the company
exacted fees far above those allowed
to be charged by licensed agencies, and
could not receive a license If it applied
for one. The membership Is about 140.
but Tripp could cite but a few rases in
m-hlch assistance had been rendered.
The legal aid contemplated "by the or.
ganlxatlon. was to be furtiished by At
torney Daw-ley. who appeared for the
defense yesterday:
SEAL SALESN0T ENOUGH
Visiting Xurse Association Will Have
to Take T"p Subscriptions.
That the funds realized from the sale
of Red Cross seals will not be sufficient
to carry on the work of the Visiting
Nurse Asoocistlon through the coming
year wss the announcement made by
Mrs. Jane B. Lsmson, secretary, in her
report read at the annual meeting held
Wednesday, April 3. It is the opinion
of officers and members that subscrip
tions and additional memberships will
have to be solicited to care for the
tubercular patients. The fund available
amounts to about 13000.
In the past yesr Sl patients have
been cared for. Of this number 333
v.-ere tubercular. Visits to patients ag
gregated S039. Of these S06S were tu
bercular. Milk to the amount of 6090
nuarta and eggs to the number of 1124
doren were dispensed to patients dur
ing the year. Patients were also main
tained at two sanatortums.
Four nurses are now employed by
the association. One of these acts as
superintendent, two have charge of tu
bercular cases, and the fourth all other
cases. A nurse is In cfisrge of the tu
bercular clinic twice esch week at the
free dispensary. In the past two
months the association has also em
ployed a working housekeeper whose
duty it Is to assist the nurses in the
care of afflicted families by preparing
proper food for the sick and Improv
ing the condition of their homes. In
January the association cared for more
patients than in any other month since
its organisation in 1902.
RIBALD SOCKS APPEAR
LINCOLN HIGH STUDENTS WEAK
VARIEGATED HOSIERY.
Two Hundred Boys Celebrate Annual
Event and Attain Weird and
'Startling Results.
The sound of the boisterous sock was
heard In the halls of Lincoln High
High School yesterdsy when 200 boys
appeared with their nether limbs cased
In the most brlllisnt and unusual col
ors In hosiery that they had been able
to secure by long and careful search
through all the stores In the city where
socks are on rale. Thus was "Loud
Sock day." the date of the opening of
the baseball season for the school, ob
served In greater chromatic splendor
than at any other time since the cus
tom wss inaugurated a few years ago
by George Olsen. who has since be
come a student at Hill Military Acad
emy. Mere exuberance of color did not
suffice alone. It must be distributed
In the most astounding combinations
possible, 'and so successful were the
majority of the boy In achieving this
result that in the assembly of gor
geously clad calves, th few that were
decked out only in solid colors, which
at any other time might have loomed
like the proverbial bar of soap In a
coal hod. now appeared quiet and In
significant. Stars and diamonds and
serpents and- polka dots and whirligigs
done in riotous colors upon equally
riotous backgrounds dazzled the eye.
No pair of socks were matched, but the
effort was- to produce as loud as pos
sible a crash between the kaleidoscopic
casing of the right calf In opposition
to the left.
That no whit of their glory might be
hidden, the boys rolled up their trousers
sufficiently to give the whole color
scheme ample exposition, and many a
stalwart ankle was decorated with a
lurid bow of ribbon by way of setting;
off the general ensemble of color.
Loud-sock day Is not an institution
entirety peculiar to the Lincoln High
School. Similar symptoms appear at
different times In the other high
schools of the city, and, while laugh
producing, are not necessarily danger
ous. Consequently loud sock days have
not met with disapproval or opposition
from - the authorities since they come
only seml-occaslon&lly.
From the success of their observance
yesterday, however, the boys of Lin
coln High School declared themselves
of the opinion that any other school
would have to "go aome" If it Is to
hold a loud-sock day that will surpass
theirs in Its "more - than - Oriental
splendor." v
COLLEGE JUNKET BOOSTED
Eighteen Hundred Invited to Mate
Trip to Corvallls.
More than IS00 letters were sent out

tral Oregon Development League and
the Tri-County Development League,
requesting them to lend their assist
ance to assure a large membership
from all parts of the state In the busi
ness men's excursion to the Oregon
Agricultural College April 25-26.
. Complete outlines of the programme
for the entertainment of the excursion
party by the students and authorities
of the Agricultural College were re
ceived atthe Commercial Club yester
day, and arrangements will be made
as soon as possible with the commer
cial organizations of McMlnnville and
Dallas, concerning the entertainment of
the excursion party in those cities on
April 25, en route for Corvallls.
