EARLIER BUSINESS
DAYS ARE RE-LIVED
Pioneer Navigators of Port
land Trade Channels Are
Merry at Lang Syne Feast.
DINERS TELL EXPERIENCES
Clearing of Washington Street"
One Speaker's Keinlniscence An
other Recall Losing Way
Where l-'lr&t Street Is 'ov.
Memories of the days when Washing
ton street was a mere trail through a
w ilderness, when First street was an
exclusive residence district, when ferry-boats
crossed the river and when
the only method of transportation to
distant points was by steamers were
recalled at the Multnomah Hotel last
Bight when the "Lang Syne" society,
composed of men who "lived or were
in business in Portland before the
year 1891." gathered for Its first formal
dinner.
The attendance and enthusiasm ex
ceeded the most sanguine expectations
of the newly-formed society's officers.
Frank Dayton, secretary-treasurer of
the organization, arranged most of the
details for the meeting. .
The dining-room at the Multnomah
last night contained pictures of early
day scenes In Portland, loaned for the
occasion by George II. Himes, of the
Oregon Historical Society.
Friendship la OIH.
The object of the organization Is to
cement a friendship among the pioneer
business residents and - to preserve
memories of the early days.
J. K. Gill, president of the society,
referred to many of those who sat
about the tables as among the men
prominent in early-day affairs. He also
played a "fiddle" solo.
Judge M. C. George, who said he has
lived in Portland 40 years, was toast
mtster. "I am glad to see us old fellows get
together," said Judge George. "Most
of the time when I go to a banquet
these days I have to be introduced to
nearly every one present. Here to
night I can take every man by the hand
and say that I know him."
Frank Dayton told, of the purposes
of the organization.
"Often and often, as I have looked
back on my business career in this
city," he said, "my thoughts have been
filled with a flood of happy memories,
and each time I have wished that these
memories could live again and become
real.
Birth of Idea Told.
"So the Idea came to me that the
only way that this could be done would
be by renewing as nearly as possible
all the old friendships, and it seemed
to mo that an association formed with
this idea In view would enable all of us
to mingle together on the basis of an
old and bappy acquaintanceship." .
Dr. Norrls R. Cox was on the pro
gramme for a song, .which he sang.
Charles H. Dodd re'ferred to many of
the early-day business men. and the
part that they have taken la the de
velopment of Portland.
George M. Hyland told of '-cleaning
Washington street" and other early-day
ciueveienTS.-
Thdmas M. McCusker told a number,
of. good stories some of them at the
expense of. some of the men at the ban
quet. HJs account or a war of words
engaged in with H. C. Campbell when
Mr. McCusker was a freight agent for
the gouthern Pacific was much enjoyed,
especially by Mr. Campbell.
J. H. Ames entertained with a good
tory. ' .
John Gill sang a solo and had to re
spond to an encore.
"General" David M. Dunne, as he was
called by the toastmaster, declared the
meeting one of the "best things ever
attempted in Portland," and proposed
a monument to Frank Dayton "but not
soon, i hope.
First Street Wlldermeas.
Frederick V. Holman also was in
tory-telling mood.
He told how he got lost on one-occasion
In. the woods where now Is the
corner of First and Washington streets.
H. B. Bartlett told how George Weid-
icr once tnreatened to throw Ben Holla
day, his employer, into the river:
AVhltney Boise reviewed briefly the
aavancement made by Portland since
tie came' here. .....
Horace D. Ramsdell called for a full
measure of credit to "the girls" who
shared the burdens and responsibilltes
or tne pioneer development.
John W. Minto. who claimed the dis
tinction of being the oldest native born
tnegonlan present, told of his experi
ences or tne early 5U s. ;
Judge W. M. Cake declared that it
will be a long time before other names
become as prominent and fixed in. the
public mind like those of the firms In
business when he came here in 1886,

LIKE ANIMATED PICTURE
IS PETITE PRIMA DONNA
Bessie Abott, Surrounded by Family of Artists and One in Her Own
Right Puts O. K. on So-Called Artistic Temperament.
BY LEONE CASS BAKR.
WIFE to Waldo Story, sculptor;
sister-in-law to Julian Story, fa
mous as a portrait painter (and
once as the husband of Emma Fames),
and of quite some importance on her
own recognition as a metropolitan
opera star, is Bessie Abott. She is
visiting Portland in the guise or Maid
Marian at the-Heilig.
When I called on the petite prima
donna yesterday in her apartments at
the Benson, she was entertaining Mrs.
H. D. Green, whose niece, the Princess
Somebody (with a nace I couldn't pos
sibly spell) and the Storys are life
long friends.
The Storys live In Rome most of the
time and Mrs. Green has often vis
ited her relatives there, and so it was
Into a conversation of soft blue Italian
skies, sun-kissed hills, purpling vine
yards and artistic reminiscences that
I dropped.
Or shall we say ascended, since I had
just come from hearing a spinster prat
tle about eugenics?
My knowledge of Italy being; con
fined to what I had gleaned from my
geography several years ago. and a
not what you would call close under
standing with- a peanut vendor on the
corner, the conversation Just naturally
switched itself into other channels.
Star Is American-Born.
First you must know that she is
American-born, and a Southerner of
the fine old Virginian name of Pick
ens. The Abott is a middle name and
also a family heirloom. The rather
saccharine .and sweetly simple little
name of Bessie she was given to make
her rhyme with her twin sister Jessie.
They rhyme only in name, however, for
Jessie is as blonde as the fairest of
Laura Jean Libbey's heroines and Bes
sie is piquant, dark and vivacious.
"Bessie doesn't suit you," I hazarded.
. "Oh, it could have been much worse,"
she smiled radiantly; "for Instance,
there's Nell and Belle, or Annie and
Fannie, or Cora and Dora," She rattled
off down the alphabet. Mrs. Green
suggested Ola and Pianola and we res
urrected that old story of Kate and
Duplicate before we all finally agreed
that after all It is rather distinctive
to keep one's own little name in grand
opera. She could have made it Bessa
lina or Bessye.
Quite naturally the subject of artis
tic temperaments came up, suggested
probably by the fact that Waldo Story,
the prima donna's husband, does not
like to see his name on anything but
checks, or maybe the doorplate or in
the telephone book. For nearly three
years these two kept their marriage a
secret, because Mr. Story could not see
inai tne world had any business to he
interested in his personal life. Only
imu years ago mey announced it.

I cried, thinking- of a dozen actresses
who would give their eye teeth for
such a chance to splash around In
print.

EXHIBIT PLANS BEGIN
Superintendent Churchill to
Make 1915 School Display.
FIRST PLACE HELD LIKELY
Oregon. Panama-Pacific Exposition
Commission Assigns Department
Work and Steps to Get Student
Co-operation. Are Taken.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) In
announcing today that the Oregon Panama-Pacific
Exposition Commission
had assigned to his department the
preparation and collecting of the school
exhibit of the state for the exposition.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Churchill said no effort or reasonable
expense would be spared to place Ore
gon in the forefront of state exhibitors
in the educational line. In fact. Mr.
Churchill intimated that he believed
the state had a chance of carrying off
nrst honors and if it did not it would
not be through a lack of effort and
study on the part of the department.
Realizing that systematic work
must be done in order to accomplish
tne best results, Mr. Churchill has ap
pointed Assistant superintendent of
Public Instruction Carleton director of
the work of preparing and gathering
the exhibit. Mr. Carleton has had
charge of the industrial school ex
hibits at the State Fair for a number
of years and thoroughly understands
what must be done. The preliminary
work has been started and Messrs,
Churchill and Carleton will decide in
a short time Just how the exhibit will
be presented.
'We were before the commission In
Portland last - Saturday," said Mr.
Churchill, "and we were assured that
we would have sufficient funds from
the exposition appropriation to make a
fine showing. It is our intention to
have all the educational features of the
state represented. The schools of tha
state will provide all the furniture for
the Oregon building. It will be made
oy the pupils. We are planning to
have the educational exhibit of tha
state in the Palace of Education, but
it may be there will not be enough
space for it there. In that event we
shall have it In the Oregon building.
"There are 133,000 school children in
Oregon and there is no question that
tney will make a fine showing at the
exposition. We have Just one year in
which to prepare, collect and arrange
the exhibit, which will give ample
time to make the best showing."
Singing of Clara Butt Is

BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIN.
I
T WAS one of the rare experiences
of a musical lifetime to hear Clara
Butt, owner of a deep, mellow, glor
ious contralto . voice, sing. Such a
singing voice as sne nas comes as a
wonder. It is more like a deep pipe
organ stop speaking than a human
voice in song. People praise Clara
Butt ss being the greatest contralto

Besale Abbott, Who SLnss Mald
Marian'' in Robin Hood.
In the Summer I leave all my work
to revel in his. We are marvelously
happy because we both have tempera
ment. "You can call it rot or mere temper
or what you will, but doesn't it stand
to reason that when I have played
the life of another person all even
ing, have sung till my nerves are all
a tingle and have touched upon every
emotion within me, that when I'm
through I relax tremendously, let down
my innermost self? Well, do you sup
pose a man who has sat all day In
the business world, has eaten a. big
dinner, read the evening paper or
talked more stocks and bonds till time
to retire could understand one millionth
of the first principle of temperament?
He'd call it nerves, or "all put on," call
it a fit of sulks maybe, say the wrong
thing and up the chimney -would go
any pretense even at compatibility.
"Mind I do not say that the artistic
life is better than a home and babies,
for I'm domestic in that I'm crazy
over children and I adore my several
homes, but I Just cannot think of
giving up my . career after I have
passed so much of my time in hard,
patient study. It is not easy to give
up. It's too much a part of me now."
Star la Animated Picture.
Miss Abott Knows whereof she
speaks on temperament. Her own has
come to a boil and bubbles over. Her
very silences are subtle. She wears a
wig in Maid Marian and so you miss
seeing her dark, soft, wavy hair. She
is trig and trim and quite the most
Parisienne animated picture I've seen
since Anna Held showed me her ward
robe. She is a pocket edition in high
heels a stickup on her hat Is ac
cent her slender height, or lack of
height rather, and an encyclopedic head
under the saucy turban. She has no
bag of theatrical tricks, strikes no
prima donnaish attitudes, and I'm glad
I never saw any skeedoodle person
play Maid Marian.. I want to always
remember the first time I saw it, with
Bessie Abott singing the role.
who ever lived. That is a strong
statement. It is a rhapsody. Who can
tell in the long march of years? Be
sides it 1s impossible to hear all the
world's great contraltos in a hall at
one time, and to hear them sing, one
after another, the same selection. It
is bale to say that Clara Butt Is the
greatest native contralto of the Eng
lish-speaking races.
It was announced that Clara Butt
and her husband, Kennerley Rumford.
baritone, would appear in concert last
night at the Armory, but fate or
dained otherwise. Mr. . Rumford, It
was announced, was suffering from
the effects of a cold and he did not
appear, to the great disappointment
of the audience that about half filled
the auditorium. Madame Butt was the
solo singer, and was assisted by Wil
liam Murdock, pianist, - and Harold
iiaxiun, piano accompanist.
Tall, majestic, with the figure of
Juno, Madame Butt, as soon as she
,e
appeared, commanded attention, and
kept it. Verily she is one of earth's
great ones, and just as human, as
natural, as fond of singing tender
songs of the home as the rest of us
who sing.
Madame Butt's most impressive
numbers were "A Joyous Easter
Hymn," "Abide With Me," "Largo"
(Handel) and "The Voices of Chil
dren." Her encores were the Handel
number just mentioned and "The Lit
tle Silver Ring" (Chaminade), "MyJ
..caouic xiev.ia, uuae rxaoen,
Guid Kacht" and "Annie Lawrle." Her
even style of singing, fine enunciation,
motherly presence, and great good na
ture are admirable. Mr. Murdock is
a youthful pianist, but a talented one.
Mr. Craxton played well. The audience
was a trifle cold.
The concert was under the direction
of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman. who an
nounce Fritz Kreisler in concert March

RECALL COMMITTEE

Discharged Market Inspector
and Writer for the Oregon ,

Sir. Rushlight Denies He Will Be

Mayor and Messrs. Brewster
and Dleck . Given Ont.
Headquarters of the Citizens - Recall
Committee, the name under which the
organization now circulating petitions
for the recall of Mayor Albee and Com
missioners Brewster and Deick is
working, have been established in room
427 of the Worcester building. This is
the office of Albert D. Cridge, notary
public and writer for the Oregon Jour
nal, who. with Buck Keith, discharged
market Inspector, are the only ones in
the movement whose names have been
made public.
Mr. Cridge said yesterday that his
connection with ftte recall is that of
notary public to attest the affidavits of
petition circulators as to the signatures
obtained. Other than that, he said, he
is acting only in an -advisory capacity.
"i. was asKed to attend to the notarial
part of the work," said Mr. Cridge. "At
the time I knew I would be made
figurehead, but I am not in charge of
mo campaign.
Back Keith Handlea "Field."
Buck Keith, a close friend and ap
pointee of ex-Mayor Rushlight as mar
ket inspector, is handling the "field"
end of the movement, which includes
the hiring of petition circulators. These
circulators are getting 10 cents for each
three names they obtain. Mr. Keith is
said to have 20 of these paid circulators
on the Job. The assertion was made at
the recall headquarters that eight
volunteer circulators are also ruBtling
names.
That 2000 signatures have been ob
tained since last Tuesday is asserted by
Mr. Cridge. He said that efforts will
be made to obtain 10.000 signatures.
Though this is somewhat more than re
quired by the constitutional provision
which fixes 25 per cent of the number
of votes cast for Supreme Court Jus
tice at the last general election as the
number of signatures necessary, the ex
tra names are wanted to make up for
signatures that may be thrown out.
The 'Identity of those behind the
move,- especially of the "angel" who is
supplying the' financial sinews, is care
fully guarded. Ex-Mayor Rushlight has
been mentioned as a possible backer
and probable recall candidate for
Mayor, but Mr. Rushlight last night
flatly denied this.
Mr. RuMhllgrht Doesn't Know.
"I am not behind the recall in any
way, and I don't even know anything
about it, he declared. "I am cer
talnly not a recall candidate for
Mayor. There Is nothing whatever to
that story."
Mr. Rushlight said he has been
asked by many persons to become
candidate for Sheriff, and has it under
consideration, but that gossip connect
Ing him with the recall is false.
Some of the petition circulators have I
mentioned Harry Yankwich, lawyer,
and Fred Ij. Olson, ex-Justice of tha
Peace, as being interested in the recall
campaign. Both- entered denials last
night.
"I know nothing about the recall, and
have refused to sign the petitions," de
clared Mr. Yankwich.
"I haven't a thing to do with it,
asserted Mr. Olson. "I suppose thej
talK that I am in it was caused by the
unauthorized use of my name in con-
nection with a recall agitation a couple I All the Rotary Clubs of the North

That disgruntled city employes, espe- I Tacoma for the annual convention
cially those whose wages have been re-
duced under the administrative code
adopted some time ago by the City
Commission, are backing the movement
ajor are among its DacKers, appears
likely. Much feeling was caused
at
the time by the general wage reduc
tions and the regulations adopted.
On the other hand, members of the
police force indignantly deny that they
ave a nana In the recall. Chief Clark
enounced as untrue rumors that his
men had contributed money to the
cause. Many officers of the force did
the same.
Reason Are Set Out,
The reasons assigned for the recall
of Mayor Albee, as set out in the peti
tions, follow:
'(1). He has violated his oath of of
fic and the city charter by retaining his
position as general manager of an in-
urance company since his election as
Mayor of Portland. This amounts to
using his official position as Mayor to
increase the business of his insurance
company,
(2). He is unfit for office because
there has been more crime and riot
during the past six .months under his
administration than during any like
period in the history of the city and
this is wholly due to his weakness, in
efficiency and wabbling in policies.
(3). iis management or the city
business Is extravagant.
(4). Under his administration many
competent and worthy employes of the
city have been discharged without Just
reason and contrary to the spirit of
the civil service law.
"(5).
w ho. ooi v, v..

ttm..o-Anr !, i j
and back pay to favored subordinates."
some or the same reasons are named
for the recall of Commissioners Rrew-
made that' They have" been supporters
ster and Dieck. The further assertion is
of the Mayor. Commissioner Dieck is
also charged With being arbltary and
discourteous In his manner and treat
ment of the public.

William Woodhead, of San Francisco,
general manager of the Sunset Maga

a spirited plea for clean advertising
methods in his talk before the Port

teraay.
"Fake advertisers In the West have
been allowed to spoil and smear the
real estate. bllslneHU until FflBtnrnara
now lack confidence in the truth of

Woodhead. "A great deal of created
confidence is necssary to dispel this
spirit of distrust. It requires more
confidence to sell real estate than boots
and shoes. Swat the fakir and let

he is not employed, the first thing to do
is to get him back Into school."
Mr. Coulter said that he was pleased
to see that the "Big Brother" move
ment was so largely supported in Port

grateful if I failed to give Lydia E.

praiseit deserves,
for I have taken it
at J different" times
and it always re
lieved me when
other medicines
failed, and when I
hear a woman com
plain I always rec
ommend it. Last win
ter I was attacked
with a severe case of organic weakness.
I had backache, pains in my hips and
over my kidneys, headache, dizziness,
lassitude, had no energy, limbs ached
and I was always tired. I was hardly
able to do my housework. I had taken
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound on one other occasion, and it had
helped me so t took it again and it has
built me up, until now I feel like a new
woman. You have my hearty consent
to use my name and testimonial in any
way and I hope it will benefit suffering
woman." Mrs. Okpha TURNER, 431 S.

Skin Smooth and Hairless
After This Treatment
(Beauty Notes)
Any woman can easily and quickly
banish objectionable hairy growths,
without pain or inconvenience if she
will simply mix a little water wif.i
some powdered delatone and then
cover the hairy surface with this' past -.
After 2 or 3 'mimues the paste should
be removed and the skin washed to
take off the remaining delatone and it
will be entirely free from hair and as
soft as velvet. Buying the delatons In
an original package Is the only way to
insure its full atrengta and purity.
