PACKERS MEET IN SEATTLE
At Transportation Club Luncheon
Judge Munly Emphasizes Com
mercial Importance of Industry
and Contrasts Value as Pood.
Salmon catchers, salmon packers, sal
tiion dealers, salmon shippers and sal
mon consumers met .on the common
ground yesterday of exploiting; the sal
mon industry.
It was the second National salmon
day and was observed quite generally
throughout the Nation.
Portland, which has been the center
of the Northwestern salmon industry
for many years and which last year
played a prominent part in inaugu
rating the salmon day movement, this
year again contributed largely to the
general success in observing the day.
Here as well as elsewhere the cele
bration was in the hands of the Trans
portation Club. - Salmon day originated
last year with the transportation men,
who were actuated partially by patri
otic motives and partially, by the par
donable selfish one of seeking to in
crease the traffic in salmon over the
rail and steamship lines.
Judge Munly, who was the principal
speaker at the salmon day luncheon at
the Multnomah Hotel yesterday, empha
sized the fact that all the salmon
caught and packed in the Columbia
River, Puget Sound and oft the shores
of Alaska last year would be sufficient
to fill a train of cars 100 miles long.
Railroad Point Emphasized.
"There is some reason, therefore, for
the railroad and steamship men taking
this active interest in salmon," he de
clared. He pointed out the further signifi
cant fact that the aggregate value of
the salmon pack of the Northwest last
year was upwards of 135,000,000 a suf
ficient and important reason for the
interest of the whole community in
Ealmon exploitation.
"Salmon fishing and salmon packing
give employment to far more men than
does fruitraising," said Judge Munly.
"More money is invested in the indus
try and it brings in larger returns
every year. Yet we have given com
paratively little attention to the busi
ness, while we have gone far and wide
to tell of the wonderful commercial
possibilities of the fruit industry."
Judge Munly, who is attorney for
some of the big commercial salmon
packers of the Northwest, quoted other
facts and presented other figures to im
press upon his hearers the importance
of salmon as a commercial asset to the
Northwest.
Food Value Praised.
He. referred to the Government's sta
tistical report on the relative food
values of salmon, meat,-eggs and other
foods, to the decided advantage of sal
mon. He urged a. 'Nation-wide cam
..paign for a -more general use of sal
mon as a daily item -of food and ap
pealed to ' the transportation men and
other business men to aid in the move
ment. Use of salmon, instead of meat,
he declared, will be an important fac
tor in solving the high cost of living
problem.
Many other business men other than
the transportation - men attended the
luncheon. W. A. Robbins, president of
the Transportation Club, presided. Fol
lowing the salmon day programme a
number of candidates for state and
county offices were introduced and told
of their respective merits.
Among the speakers were Gus Moser
and W. A. Carter, candidates for Gov
ernor; Judge Cleeton, candidate for
Justice of the Supreme Court: Albert L.
Parkhurst, candidate for State Repre
sentative, and Charles W. Hohlt, can
didate for County Commissioner, all
Republicans.
Small cans of salmon were distribu
ted at the tables and each person took
a. can home.
Parkers Meet in Seattle.
Meanwhile similar celebrations were
In progress in a score or more of other
cities. At Seattle last night salmon
packers from California.. Oregon, Wash
ington and Alaska met at the Wash
ington Hotel for a formal banquet. A
new organization to be known as the
Pacific Coast Salmon Parkers" Associa
tion was effected. It will have for its
purpose the furthe exploitation of the
salmon industry.
Salmon day received further official
recognition yesterday, when canned
Royal Chinook was served on the
Presidential table at the White House.
The salmon packers of Portland last
year sent the President a case of
canned salmon. They did the same
this year and propose to perform a
similar service every year.
Salmon day now has been fixed as a
National annual event. It will be gen
erally observed on the second Friday
of March. While the public observance
last year was limited to Portland and
Seattle, it has spread, within the year,
to more than a score of other cities.
By next year, the transportation and
salmon men believe, it will be observed
in every state and in every city of
consequence in the Union.

was stopped and it was said that she
was little hurt.

wheels of a streetcar and two light
rigs on the Burnside bridge, when his
team ran away as a streetcar struck
them. He was hurled out beneath
another rig, rolled under his own, and
narrowly missed being caught by the
wheels of the streetcar. Patrolman

FEE REDUCTION PROTESTED
Commissioner Proposes to Limit
Employment Agents' Charfecs.
' Fee reductions which employment
agents say would put them out of busi
ness are proposed by City Commission
er Daly in an amendment yesterday
brought before the Council when the
proposed new employment agency ordi
nance, fathered by Commissioner Bige
low 1 was up for consideration.
Commissioner Bigelow proposed a fee
of 5 per cent for positions furnished
paying a salary not to exceed $50 a
month, to for positions paying ud to
$100 a month and $7.50 for positions
paying more than $100 a month. Com
missioner Daly presented an amend
ment to make it unlawful for any agent
. to collect a fee greater than 50 cents
for a position paying not to exceed $60
a -month and $1 for a position paying
more than $60 a month.
A number of representatives of em
ployment agencies were on hand to pro
test against the Daly amendment
They declared it would mean the de
struction of their business. The Com
mission took the ordinance under consideration.

RAILROADS SHOW LOSS
LIKES SERVING NORTHWEST NOT
IJf PROFITABLE COM7MIC YET.
Great Northern and St. Paul Officials
Predict Early . Change Latter t
Offer Issue of Bonds.
Although the Western railroads be
gan the new year with the confident
expectation that business would start
to improve, the January reports for two
lines that serve the local territory, the
Great Northern and the Chicago. Mil
waukee & St. Paul, show heavy losses.
For the first seven months of the
fiscal year, beginning July 1. 1913, cor
respondingly heavy losses were sus
tained by both roads in comparison
with their earnings and incomes of the
preceding year. Both reports, however,
show some improvement over those for
November and December.
The Great Northern's operating In
come decreased $151,307.50 in January.
The decrease for the first seven months
of the fiscal year was $1,234,401.96.
Great Northern officials predict im
proved business conditions for the im
mediate future. The passenger revenue
for the seven months Increased $681,
737.74, while the freight revenue
dropped off $L'59,888.24.
The St. Paul's earnings for January
were unusually favorable. The loss in
gross was smaller than in several pre
vious months and the increase in net
was larger. However, the company did
not quite earn its dividends for the
month, according to the figures.
Officers of the St. Paul point with
pride to the saving of $264,000 in trans
portation costs for the month. They de
clare that this indicates Improvement
In operating efficiency.
It is understood that the St. Paul will
offer a block of $30,000,000 bonds for
sale about April 1.
SONG TOUCHES HEARTS
ADELAIDE PHILLIPP'S FAVORITE
IN "HEART SONGS."
"Manna's in de Cold. Cold Ground" Is
Published in Memory of Famous
English Singer.
Early in 1840 a tiny English lass
of seven years landed in America
with her parents from Stratford-on-Avon,
the historic birthplace of "Wil
liaTi Shakespeare.
At the age of nine little Adelaide
Phillipps made her first appearance at
the Tremont Theater in Boston. Jenny
Lind met her and adviBed her to go to
London, and later she studied in Italy,
where she won a great triumph as
Arsace in "Semiramide."
Returning to America she was given
an ovation accorded few singers and
continued her tour on to Cuba. When
the Boston Ideal Opera Company was
formed in 1879 she appeared in "Pina
fore" and the Sullivan operas, and
added greatly to her fame as one of
America's most popular and beloved
contralto singers.
It was a memory that can never be
effaced to hear Adelaide Phillipps sing
the old popular songs as encore after
encore was demanded. To hear her
sing that plaintive melody of Foster's,
"Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground," vi
brated the heart chords and touched
the hearts of hearers..
This song is to be found on page
350 of 'Heart Songs," a veritable library
of the greatest songs in the world, and
now offered to the readers of this
paper for six coupons and the cost of
distribution. See coupon with terms
elsewhere in today's Issue. Adv.
