THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. TUESDAY. MARCH 25, 1913. IS LUMBER BOYCOTT 1ST EN HIGHER Appeal Made by Portland Body to United States Chamber of Commerce. INTERVENTION IS SOUGHT Resolutions Adopted Calling Atten tion to I-ength or Embargo and Setting Out Damage Retalia tion Would Effect. The United States Chamber of Com merce has been called upon by the Port land Chamber -of Commerce to In vestigate the Pan Francisco boycott on finished lumber from the mills of the Northwest, and bring about, if possible, a settlement. In a resolution pointing out that the boycott has existed for nearly ten years and that if persisted in It will inevitably lead to retaliatory measures on the part of the Northwest which wlil extend the evil Instead of mending- It. the board of trustees of the Portland Chamber has requested that the National body take action upon the matter. Tills resolution was Inclosed in a letter dispatched yester day. 1'nder the rules set forth in article 1 of the bylaws of the National body, the Portland Chamber believes the Na tional Chamber in a position to take action on the matter. This article of the bylaws provides that the National organization shall be "to encourage trade and commercial Intercourse be tween the states, secure co-operative action In advancing the purposes of Its members, uniformity and equity In huslness usages and proper considera tion and concentration of opinion upon questions affecting the financial, com mercial and Industrial Interests of the country at large." Sltaatlva In Reviewed. Following; the text of the resolu tion of the board of trustees in the letter to Washington. Secretary K. C Glltner outlined the boycott situation and urged that the National body use every effort to mitigate the evil. "The San Francisco boycott la a mat ter of serious import.' he says, "to the business interests of Oregon and Wash ington. The manufacture of lumber Is the basic Industry 'of these states, and anything that mitigates against logi cal and proper expansion of this in dustry strikes directly at the founda tion of our prosperity and well being. The lumber buying markets of San Francisco, and other Bay cities con stitute our natural nearby outlet and Interference with the natural move ment of our lumber to those markets la a serious Injustice and a hardship upon the Northwest; a hardship that cannot, in any sense, be justitled, because It Is absolutely true that the markets of the Northwest are open, without prejudice, to the products and manufactures of California, and the entire country. Baals for Help la Showa. "In view of the trade embarrassment wrought by the San Francisco boycott It Is the opinion of our board that the subject comes properly within the scope and purposes of the Chamber of Commerce of the Cnited States of America for consideration and adjust ment, and we sincerely hope that your board will consider and act favorably upon the appeal here made. Surely the question. In Its bearing upon inter-state trade relations, and in its bearing, as well, upon the interests of commercial bodies holding membership in the Chamber of Commerce of the Uniwd States of America, gives ample bRsls and justification for the consideration here bespoken." MANY SETTLERS EXPECTED Volume or Inqnirles llecelved at Chamber or Commerce Growing. Kvery portion of the United States is represented by inquiries from intend ing Immigrants pouring Into the of fice of the Chamber of Commerce In a dally volume which indicates that the number of colonists coming to Oregon this season will exceed, the record of any previous year. The Inquiries come largely from smaller communities, from farming peo pie who wish to take advantage of the Oregon soil and climate. The files in the Chamber of Commerce and the reg ister kept In the exhibit department in dicate that Oregon Is drawing its heaviest additions to population from the Middle West, although British Co lumbia is lso the source of much Im migration to Oregon, and even Wash ington and Southern California are sending new citizens to make homes In this state.

(Continued From First Page.) grouped around Miss Cramer and Mr. Krohn. A shrill whistle drew their attention, and a hush fell. Then it was announced that F. M. Groshong would lead them. For the purpose he donned an Im mense rabbit's head, with long pink lined ears. Then he started out, at the bead of a procession which must have eclipsed that of any Pied Piper. Along down the road they came, wind ing about until, by Superintendent Mtsche's house, he told them to begin the search. If truth be told, nothing was spared. Certainly the ingenuity of the hiders was highly rated by the seekers. It mattered not what they came across. All things seemed liable to be bursting with eggs to judge by the handling they were given. The garbage cans were Inspected, rocks were lifted, earth was dug up, grass searched minutely, even though It was transparent that no hidden treasure could be there. Winner Showa Trading Instinct. By 4 o'clock Harry Edwards, of 509 Everett street, had found 32 eras, or rather he and a coterie of helpers, and there was no competitor to come close to him. Twenty-hve seemed the nearest- Harry Is Just 11, and goes to the Couch school. He Is somewhat phleg matic, and did not seem to be a lover of animals, or at any rare of rabbits, for when be beard that be had won he turned round to his Informer and asked: "How much will you give me for ltT Will you give me a dollar?" In all probability the saddest boy, after the prize was announced, was a little Russian by the name of Cohen, of Failing school. Cohen found 46 eggs. After making careful Inquiries he thought that his nearest competitor was possessed of but 13. so he decided to make some money. Willing purchasers were found for 20 of the eggs at 1 cent apiece, and Cohen was congratulating himself on his business acumen and his prize winning capabilities, which re celved something of a shock. One little Italian girl, coming into the park, saw an egg in the pond. She Immediately waded In. Another girl tried to "beat her to it" and fell Into the water head first. Misanthropist Deplores 'Idiocy.' One genuine misanthropist was found in the park. He deplored the egg hunting. "Children will break their arms and their legs, their mothers will have work to do cleaning them after it's all over, the whole park is in an awful mess and I think it's a cruel shame to allow this idiocy," he mut tered, but his opinion did not seem to bo shared by anyone else. The committee in charge was com posed of Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbet t, Mrs. V. B. Ayer, Mrs. A. E. Rockey, Miss Mary Frances Isom, Mrs. Stella W. Durham, Miss Valentine Prichard, Miss Jean Wold, H. T. Mische. L. H. Weir. Robert Krohn and C. F. Woodward, and there were in addition many will ing helpers. George Williams was the lucky win ner at the Brooklyn ParR and Leonard Wilmont at the Mount Tabor Park. The returns from the other parks had not been reported at a late hour last night. VIRTUES OF NEGRO TOLD Final Address of Dr. Washington Here Before Unitarian Club. Booker T. Washington dwelt upon the virtures of the negro race in his .arewell address before the members of the Unitarian Club at a luncheon in the Commercial Club yesterday. The vices of the negro race, he de clared, have been and are still being held up so strongly before the people of the United States that they are In clined to overshadow their virtues and lead the whjte people to forget the good features about the negro charac ter and to be over-harsh In their Judg ment. Pointing out the charitableness of the negroes, he said that the poor of the colored race are always well cared for by their own people and since their emancipation and the stresses of tbe reconstruction days the negroes have never called upon the state or Govern ment to help them in carinS for their own poor. W. F. Woodward was toastmaster at the luncheon and R. W. Montague gave a short talk in behalf of the club. Dr. Washington left last night for Hood River, where he will deliver two addresses today, after whloh he will leave for a series of engagements In Utah. 1. Three Dusky Maidens Each Find One, 2.
