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.
The Kast is represented by inquiries
from Providence. R. I.; New fork City
and Washington. D. C. The Soutli con.
tributes letters from Atlanta, (la., and
Richmond. Va. The great mass of in
quiries emanate from tbe Middle West,
from such places as Coffeyvllle. Kan.:

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.

Dairy Returns for March, This Tear,
Exceeds That of 1912.
HILLSBORO, Or.. March 24. (Spe
cial.) F. C. Orth. field manager for the
Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company,
with factories here and at Forest Grove,
today said that the milk supply for
March, this year, is much better than
for the corresponding period in 1912.
It is found that where people nave
bought small tracts of five and ten
acres along the railway lines the milk
supply In those sections has increased
largely. Mr. Orth looks for the largest
milk production in the history of the
county for the present season.

A surprise element was Introduced
when a 24-lnch silver loving cup was
presented to Phil Metschan, Jr.. and a

equipment, to Phil Metschan, Sr., by
employes of the Imperial Hotel. A

Forgery, Must Leave City.
One of the pillars of the Sixth and
Washington-street corner congregation
of loafers, mashers and sidewalk-de-filers,
was removed yesterday, when
George O'Connor, one of those involved
in the forgery scandals in connection
with the University of Oregon referen

with a score or more of his kind, he
has helped to obstruct traffic and annoy
women.
O'Connor was arrested by Patrolmen

count of his relations with a young
woman, who, however, refused to tell
her story.
