July 6. that would have ended the

This record Is from the minutes of the

F.nthuscd over the results of
Wednesday's parade, the men behind
the good roads movement are planning
a statewide demonstration for the six
good roads bills now being initiated.
Governor West will be asked to set
aslie Saturday. May II. as good roads
day, to b observed throughout the
state.
Helieving that these Is more urgent
need for action In the rural districts.
C. T. Prall yesterday conferred with C.
Chapman, secretary of the Oregon

hat It was decided to hold a good
roads day for the whole state.
All the Commercial Clubs In Oregon
will be asked to boost for the bills on
hat day and to get as many signatures
the petitions aa possible. Kuril club
will be asked to hold a good roads
meeting and to do everything possible
to stimulate Interest In the measures.
statewide latere! Wanted.
There Is no question about Initiating
he bills." said Mr. Prall. who Is di
recting the work. "We ran get all
he names necessary in Multnomah
County If we have to. But that isn't
he right way. We want to get the
voters of the entire state to look Into
he matter. We know that If they
will study the bills they will champion
horn. We want as many signers from
he country districts as possible, for If
here Is any real opposition to the
measures it will come from the sparse-
v settled territory.
Thus far only eight counties outsme
f Multnomah have been heard from.
It Is evident that our country petition
circulators are not going after names
verr strong. What we want right
now more than anything else Is men
to arouse Interest In the bills among
the farmers and people of the small
towns. We must have the votes of
this class if we expect the bills to be
passed.'
Wednesday's parade, according to
Mr. Prall, had the desired effect in
Portland. Two men hunting petition
signers got 3000 signatures In the busi
ness section yesterday morning without
any trouble.

Statements regarding the wool In
dustry of Portland, its present and fu
ture, startled those who attended the
luncheon of the Progressive Business
Men s Club at the Multnomah Hotel
yesterday.
That there Is 900,000,000 Invested in
wool In the United States annually;
that Oregon is sixth in productive
states and first in quality, and that
100,000,000 pounds of wool should be
stored in Portland warehouses were
some of the statements of speakers at
the luncheon.
D. O. Lively was chairman for the
day. He said that there ought to be
100,000,000 pounds of wool stored In
Portland every year. The opening; of
the Celilo and Panama canals would
make this possible, for the East is a
promising market under Improved
shipping conditions.
Willamette Wool Beat.
"'The 11 Oregon mills cannot do much
until a wool market Is established In
Portland.". Bald Mr. Lively. "Willam
ette Valley produces the finest quality
of wool in the world. It is not unrea
sonable to claim that the woolen in
dustry win be second only to the live
stock Industry In this state."
Charles E. Coopey. a manufacturer,
said Oregon mills often could not get
the quality of wool wanted, and were
forced to turn down orders. "In Bos
ton." he said, "where there Is a large
amount of wool stored. It is necessary
only to notify a warehouse when an
order was received, and the next morn
ing the kind of wool wanted would he
ready to manufacture. Until ware
houses are established tn Oregon, the
mills cannot compete with the East."
C. D. Kennedy, agent for the American-Hawaiian
Steamship Company, said
his company will put on a direct
steamer between the Isthmus of Te
huantepec and Portland, instead of go
ing to Seattle and calling tn at San
Francisco, as in the past.
William S. Smallwood, of the trans
portation department of the Chamber
of Commerce, submitted some data on
the wool Industry, saying that 900 tons
of wool had been shipped to Boston
and that BOO bales had been purchased
by Oregon manufacturers from Califor
nia
The report of the Auditorium Coin
mission, read by Walter f. Asher, was
to the effeet that the Commission does
not want to go ahead with the build
ing until $200,000 is available for the
purchase of a site. In addition to the
$600,000 already voted.

with difficulty, handles the people, it is certain that
two cars will be necessary next year; three for 1914;
four cars in 1915 and so on, until six cars will be
required by 1917. For, be it remembered, residence
communities follow the streetcar lines.
