THE MORXIXG OREGONIAN, FRTDAY. MARCH 14, 1913.
H. BEGKWITH WILL
QUIT WELLS FARGO
Portland Genera! Agent Re
signs After 34 Years in
Express Service.
LONG REST WILL BE TAKEN
Well-Known Portland Resident Is to
Remain In City, He Says, and
Iater May Enter Other
Ilne of Endeavor.
Harvey Beckwlth, general agent for
Wells-Fargo & Company, express, has-
resigned, - effective at the convenience
of his superior officers. It Is probable
that his successor will be appointed
and placed In charge of the Portland
office within 30 days.
Mr. Beckwlth, who has been in the ex
press service for 34 years, gives as
surance that he will continue as a res
ident of Portland, where he has lived
for nearly SO years. After a much
needed rest he will probably engage In
private business.
Beginning his career as a driver for
the American Express Company in his
home state of Idaho, he came to Port
land 30 years ago as a messenger. He
rwas promoted through various positions,
such as agent, route agent and others
of minor importance until he became
general agent in Portland. About 14
years ago ha was transferred to San
Francisco, but after a service there of
lour years he came back to Portland.
Civic Affairs Interest.
For the last 10 years he has been
enteral agent here. Under his admin
letratlon, the Wells-Fargo building at
fclxtn and Oak streets was erected.
JStnce Its completion he has had .charge
of the property in addition to his duties
as head of the Portland office and ter
ritory around Portland.
Besides his activity in this capacity
he has taken an important Interest in
' the civic duties Incident with the
growth and development of the city.
For two years he was a member of the
board of trustees of the Chamber of
Commerce and for two years president
of the Commercial Club. By appoint.
tnent of the Governor he served also as
chairman of the Naval Militia Board
and still is & member of that board.
He Is prominent as a Mason, a Shriner
and in various other organizations.
"In leaving the express service," said
Mr. Beckwlth last night, "I do not in
tend to leave Portland. I have con
siderable sentiment about severing my
connection with the "pioneer route of
the West,' with which I have been con
nected for so long, but I want to take
a long rest, which I have not had for
years, and after that I may enter some
other line of work.
Patrons of Company Thanked.
"I am extremely grateful to the peo
pie of Portland for their patronage of
the Wells-Fargo under my direction
and commend the patrons of the com
pany to my successor, whom I hope
they will continue to favor with their
patronage."
C. Cain, special agent for the com
pany, who was in Portland yesterday,
expressed extreme regret when he
learned of Mr. Beckwith's resignation.
"I only hope he will withdraw It be
fore It is acted upon," was Mr. Cain's
comment.

own affairs to listen to our explana
tions. Had the veto came earlier in
v the session. I believe beyond a doubt
we could have drummed up enough
strength to over-ride the Governor."
Pend O'Rellle Bridge Loses.
The veto of the Governor of an ap
propriation of $50,000 for a bridge over
the Pend O'Rellle River at Newport
was sustained Immediately after the
.Vancouver veto was laid on the table.
One of the last official acts of the
' session was the final concurrence to
amendments in the logged off lands
lilll which was prepared by the joint
committees on , logged off lands em-
bracing the fundamental features of a
number of other logged off land bills
introduced by Representatives from
Various sections.
The bill which probably will be
signed by the Governor provides for
the formation of improvement districts
consisting of a county as a whole or a
part to clear land or to bring it under
Irrigation.
The bill provides commissioners shall
be appointed to serve as a managing
board. The districts are authorized to
issue bonds when empowered so to do
by vote of the district.
Purchase Rights piven.
It la provided that state, courity mu
kilclpal or other public funds and the
permanent schood fund may be invested
In the bonds. Provision is made-for the
acquisition by the district of lands
and property by purchase or otherwise.
The districts can purchase the lands
of settlers, giving them the right of
repurchase after reclamation or clear
ing at a price not greater than the cost
of acquisition and improvement plus 5
per cent and In SO annual payments
at 4 per cent interest.
Legislative reapportionment, the
question which deadlocked the Legis
lature in 1911, was knocked in the head
by the Senate, when a final llth-hour
attempt to put through a reapportion
ment bill, fathered by Senator Jackson,
of King County, failed. The cow coun-
ty delegations standing as a unit re
volted against the measure and cast
It Into oblivion to remain until resur
rected either by the people under the
Initiative or by the Legislature of 1915.
Game legislation, which has been a
perplexing question during the session,
was all straightened out, and a com
promise bill put through both houses
after several committee conferences.
The bill as sent to the Governor pro
vides that the Governor shall appoint
two chief state game wardens, one from
Eastern Washington and one from
Western Washington, each to be paid
11800 a year.
Training School Veto Stasias.
The Senate voted to sustain the veto
of Governor Lister of an appropriation
of $10,000 to establish a state train
ing school at Bverett.
The veto was sustained by ' an
even vote of 21 to 21. Twenty-eight
votes were necessary to carry the bill
over the Governor's head.
Practically all the rest of the day's
session was taken up In getting bills
already passed straightened up to be
sent to the Governor.
In the face of charges that the ses
sion has not been a great success a
list of the important bills passed by
both houses was produced and read.
Among other bills which were passed
and many of which have been signed
by the Governor are the following:
A women minimum ware bill, creating
a state welfare commission empowered to
Investigate the. cost of living In the. various
sections and to tlx a minimum wage for
women sad minors by districts; prohibiting
the publication of false or misleading ad

for the sealing of weights and measures;

VANCOUVER FOLK ARE GLOOMY
Veto of Bridge Appropriation Bill
Disappoints Business Men.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. March 13.
(Special.) "Blue" would hardly sug
gest the state of feelings of the peo
pie of Vancouver and Clark County to
day over the failure of Governor Lis
ter to sign the Pacific Highway bridge
appropriation bill. Wherever two or
three men or women gathered today,
they were discussing - but one topic,
the failure of the bridge bill to pass
the Governor..
For days business and professional
men have been keyed to a high pitch
awaiting the Governor's action. Many
went to Olympia for one or more days
to do what they could in the bill's
favor.
But many believe that there may yet
be some way to finance the project.

United States Marshalship of Oregon
or Collector of Customs Said
to Be Probable.
John Montag, at present Councilman
from the Sixth Ward, can be United
States Marshal or Collector of Customs,
just whichever job he wants, according
to Portland politicians. That he wants
to be Marshal is said to be the fact, and
it is believed here that he will be.
In Democratic political circles in
Portland it lis said that Mr. Montag is
one man who can have anything he
wants from United States Senator Lane,
and it is also said that Lane will name
the Marshal and Collector.
John Montag is one Democrat who
is said to stand very high with the ex
Mayor of Portland, who is now the
junior United States Senator from
this state, and Senator Lane 13 certain
to reward him for his loyalty, accord
ing to the best information obtainable
In Portland. Montag served on Lane's
Executive Board for a long time when
Lane was Mayor of this city. Now
that Lane occupies a seat in the United
States Senate, It is declared by looal
political people that Lane will hand
out to Montag the United States Mar
shalship or the post of Collector of Cus
toms. It is said he wants to be Marshal.
Montag at present- Is serving as a
member of the City Council and Is pro
prietor of a stove foundry in South
Portland.
Before he left Portland, Senator
Lane's mail was heavy with applicants
for every job under the sun with which
he would have or would not have any
direct hand In disposing of.
That Senators Lane and Chamberlain
will divide the patronage between
them Is said to be the plan, and It Is
thought that Senator Chamberlain will
have the naming of the Portland Post
master, while Lane will name the Col
lector of Customs or the Jfarshal. If
Montag is named Marshal, then the Col
lector of Customs probably will go to
a man to be agreed upon by both Cham
berlain and Lane, and tbey probably
will divide the remainder of the patron
age of the state between themselves.
Great Interest centers in tne actions
of the Senators, and Portland and Ore
gon Democrats are eager for the slate
to be made public
- Cottage Grove to Be Paved.

Committee Appointed to-Hold Con
ference in Near Future With
Greater Portland Plans
Association Members.
Thirty-eight members of the Burn-
side Property Owners' Association met
in offices in the Teon building last
night and decided on a programme of
vigorous opposition to the plan to
widen Burnside street at this time In
accordance with the Greater Portland
plans.
Especially were the property-owners
opposed to the plsn proposed by Mayor
Rushlight before a meting of tbe Great
er Portland Plans Association last
week, which was that a resolution
should be passed by the Council pro
hibiting the granting of building li
censes on Burnside street and nearer
to the line of the present street than
the street line as proposed by the
Greater Portland "plans.
"The time is not ready for such ac
tion," said Gus C Moser, a member of
the Burnside Property Owners' Asso
ciation, last night "No procedings
have been Instituted to widen the
street. Nothing has been done, except
the agitation' of the question -by the
Greater Portland Plans Association.
The people refused to vote bonds for
the purpose of prosecuting these plans
at the. November special election, and
yet it is proposed to tie up our prop
erty so that we can neither build nor
grant leases except at a great loss.
"The plan proposed would confiscate
a portion of our property for an in
definite period without giving us any
compensation.
Committee Is Named.
The following committee was ap
pointed to have an early meeting with
the Greater Portland Flans Association,
with the Mayor and the Council, and
such committees of the Council as may
be called on to consider the matter:
Isaac Swett, chairman; Dr. Andrew C.
Smith, Dan J. Malarkey, Gus C. Moser,
A. King Wilson, Paul Wesslnger, E. C.
Jogensen, E. Henry Wemme, S. A.

meeting of the Burnside street property
owners in a week.

night's meeting were: Matchiner

E. Solomon, Sauvie brothers, Joseph
Closset, H. L. Keats, Z. Swett, F. J.

EUGENIC CHIEF IS DUE
DR. WOLFF SOOJI COMING HERE
TO HOLD CONFERENCE.
Planned "Baby Show" Is Attracting
Attention From All United States-,
Says O. M. Plumrner. .
The idea of a "eugenic -exposition,"
which was put into practice first in
Oregon and In the same year Iowa,
is attracting attention throughout the
United States and O. M. Plummer, who
has been reappointed manager of the
exposition at the Oregon State Fair
for this year also, is receiving cany
communications from many cities
which desire to enter into the move
ment and assist in the plan to de
velop a great world-wide eugenic ex
position to be held In San Francisco at
the exposition in 1915.
Already I have received letters from
more than 20 states In the Union which
expect to hold eugenic expositions this
year, basing their plan upon the one
originated in the Oregon fair last year.
where physical perfection and health
in the children exhibited was made the
basis of prize awards instead of mere
beauty of features," said Mr. Plummer
yesterday. "The indications now are
that eugenic expositions will be held
in practically every one of the United
States this year, similar to the expo
sitions held last, year in Oregon and
lowa. ,
