SIXTH AND ALDER STREETS THE MOKTNG OKEGOXIA", FRIDAY, AFRIt, 10, 1914. WORMELL'S STATE IS INVESTIGATING Reprisals Against Oregon Products feared if Southern Potato Is Barred Inspection Is Felt to Be Ample Safeguard. News About Railroads TRAFFIC officials and fruitgrowers of various Northwestern districts will convene in Spokane next week to discuss plans for handling- this year's fruit crop. W. C. Wilkes, as sistant general freight and passenger agent of the North Bank Road, and other Portland railroad men will at tend. The railroads this year face tha problem of handling the biggest fruit R?iira the tuber moth has been found in shipments of California po tatoes received here, some of the Ore gon farmers are agitating for a quar antine against all California potatoes. Letters of complaint have been writ ten to Governor West and to the State Board of Horticulture, because such a Quarantine has not been declared. The Governor has left the matter in the hands of the State Board, but the mem bers of the latter believe such a' course would not be advisable. Inspection Is Preferred. "If we can handle the tuber moth problem by Inspection we prefer to do so." said Secretary W. M. Williamson, of the board, yesterday. "A quarantine against California potatoes might lead to reprisals on the part of the people of that state. "We are watching the California po tato receipts closely, and when we find an infested shipment, the entire lot is ordered sent back to the point from which it came, or. if the receiver will not do that, we insist that the shipment be destroyed. The tuber moth has be come a serious pest in California, and it is estimated that It causes a damage of 25 per cent to the annual crop. Many districts in that state are not Infected, but we have no means of knowing what sections the potatoes come from, so we Inspect all receipts. Oregon Law Permits Return. "In Washington there is a rigid in EDection and all infected lots are de stroyed, but the law of Oregon allows merchants to ship back the article. Many of the commission men take a reasonable view of the case, but some of them think we should allow the po tatoes to be sorted over. This we can not afford to do. The tuber moth has not yet been established In Oregon and we want to keep it out or the state. "This, I believe, we can do hy in spection. which will make a quarantine unnecessary. Should we adopt tne lat ter expedient, the Californians might find some reason for, shutting out our products, -either our potatoes or our nursery stock." - SONG STIRS SOUTHERNERS Alice Xdelsen Singing 'Bonny Eloise' Brings Back AVar Memories. There is something of the winsome Southern belle in the charming person ality of Alice Nielsen, born at Nash ville, Tenn., who studied music in San Francisco and made her first appear ance on the operatic stage as Yum Yum in Gilbert's "Mikado" in 1893. She joined the "Bostonians" in 1896, sing ing in many characters, especially that of Annabel in "Robin Hood." Since the days of the "Bostonians" she has continued to sing In grand opera, and is one of the most accomplished Ameri can violinists. There is always a rip pie of approval in an audience when Alice Neilsen responds with an encore in singing "Bonny Eloise," one of the , ballads that has always been popular in the South. "Bonny Eloise" with Bonny Alice Nielsen singing it has set many Southern audience on fire. Men have cheered, women have wept, while its hallowed strains brought back war-time memories to the sons and daughters of the Lost Cause.

Pope, past master of Port land Lodge of the Masonic Order, the sum of $5000 has been turned over to the Good Samaritan Hospital to endow a free bed for the use of indigent Ma sons and their families. A further sum of $1200 was placed at the disposal of the Masonic board of relief for charita- blue purposes. This is the only en dowed room at the Good Samaritan Hospital.

These are said to be the greatest acts of Masonic charity recorded in the history of Masonry In Portland. In commenting on them yesterday Worshipful Master Houghton, of Portland Lodge, said: "It shows the deep brotherly feeling that pervaded the being of Brother Pope, and proves that the man of plain exterior, despismr show and vain glory, can contain a heart full of love for the brotherhood of man." Those who desire to take advantage of the endowed bed are Instructed to apply to M. J. Houghton, of Portland Lodge No. 65.
