DEMOCRATS FLOCK TO DR. W1THYCOMBE Republican Draws Hundreds of Votes From West's Pro tege on Ticket. OFFERS OF AID FREQUENT .Multnomah ow Seems Likely to Give Overwhelming Majorities and Ia borers Promise Sup port at Various Meetings. ; Democrats by the hundreds are flock . Ing to the standard of Dr. James Withycombe, the Republican primary t nominee for Governor. On every hand ' yesterday Dr. Withycombe was met by Multnomah County Democrats who as- aured him that they would cast their - vote for him a week from next Tues day in preference to the West candi' , date. Dr. C. J. Smith. "It has amazed me the number of . Democrats who are pledging me their support voluntarily, said Dr. Withy ; combe last night. "This condition is confined not only to Multnomah Coun ; ty, but to every section of the state l where I have been. Men whom I have known as strong party men for years have assured me of their support. One informed me that he would cast nis first vote for a Republican November 3, after having been a Democratic ! voter all his life. M 1 1 nomati Laborers Favorable. "The public's attitude towards me in J Multnomah County is most encourag : ing," continued Dr. Withycombe. "To i. day I met hundreds of persons, mainly ' mechanics and working people, and the greeting I received from them I shall always remember because of the cor diality shown. Assurances of support ; were given me by all." : Dr. Withycombe returned to Portland ( early yesterday afternoon, after a I strenuous canvass in Marion County, where his greeting was enthusiastic and where he found thousands of warm ! supporters. Before leaving Salem he I was invlt'id to speak before a meeting i of working men, who received his in- formal address with applause. He also ; visited the woolen and lumber mills ! and met the workers in those places, i ; All Sections Enthusiastic. ! "I do not enjoy talking about myself ! and my campaign," said Dr. Withy- combe, "but I suppose it is necessary ; to let the public know through the : press the results of my campaign I tours. My reception at every point has exceedel every hope and expecta ; tion. x The sympathy that is being shown for the principles of state gov ernment which I advocate is an espe cially encouraging sign and leads me : to feel convinced that, if elected. I will have the support of the entire publio in putting into effect those re forms in taxation and those construct ive measures for upbuilding the state which are my fondest ambition. "Alttiough. early in the campaign there was an attempt being made to mislead the people on my attitude as to their laws, I find that my position in this matter is now clearly under .stood by all. x My repeated utterances on the subject of the direct primary and other progressive measures have left no room for doubt as to my hearty support of every law initiated by the people. Law Enforcement Promised. "They are on the books to stay and only the people have the right to change them. Not only do I favor these laws, but as Governor I will re Bard it as my highest duty to protect and safeguard them from any attacks that might be made. "On the question of the single item -.eto my record is clear. I reiterate that I was the first man in Oregon publicly to advocate the single item veto. It is an invaluable instrument in the hands of a Governor whose honest purpose is to use it in protect ing the people from extravagant or unwise legislation rather than as an instrument of intrigue and for further ing selfish ends. I never for an in stant have wavered in my support of the single item veto, but I do see the danger of putting this instrument In the hands of a narrow, vindictive and vengeful executive. Veople Want Development. "The amount of interest I find in state development is another most en couraging sign. People everywhere realize the necessity of developing our latent resources. We barely have touched the wealth about us in Ore gon and on every hand I find support for my plan to lend aid to the farmers and producers and farmers of Oregon a work which I have been engaged in already for many years, but which, as Governor. I will be able to carry on in a much larger way." This morning Dr. Withcombe will go to Mount Angel and tonight he will speak at Hillsboro, formerly his home town and near which point his farm is located. He then will return to Port land to resume his canvass of Multno mah County. I'riends and supporters in Multno mah County particularly are pleased witn the progress of his campaign. His strong popularity in every section of the state is pointed to with partic ular satisfaction by his Intimate friends because ef the fact that Dr. Withycombe is spending nothing in the campaign except for actual travel ing expenses and a meager supply of cards. REALTY MEX CHEER CANDIDATE Ovation Given Dr. Withycombe, Who Is Guest at Board Luncheon. Dr. James Withycombe, Republican nominee for Governor, was given an ovation at the weekly luncheon of the Portland Realty Board at the Portland Commercial Club yesterday. He at tended the luncheon cs the personal truest of one of the members and made no speech, but when he arose to an swer rollcall he was greeted with ap plause, whirh lasted several minutes. Following the recommendation of the executive committee the board yester day wen on record as opposed to the $1500 tax exemption law. The water front measure, the water ordinance to be submitted at the city recall election next week and to the measure pro posing the taxation of estates to pro vide relief for the unemployed. By indorsing the committee report unani mously the realty men pledged them selves to vote and work against the en actment of those four measures. The board has appointed a special commit tee to fight the $1500 exemption meas ure. Franklin T. Griffith was the speaker of the day. Fred A,, Jacobs acted as chairman of the day and special vocal music was provided by a quartet from the Fan tasies Theater.

Mr. tvans is a graduate in law. a Univer sity of Ohio man, end his theatrical History is a successful one. Last sea son he was with the Eastern "Fine Feathers" company. Miss Ross created the role of Rosie, with Eleanor Robson, in "Merely Mary Ann." Y. M. C. A. BOYS ARE ACTIVE Work of Department Carried On by Own Form of Government. The operation of the boys' depart ment of the Y. M. C. A. under the di rection of the boy members has been started and is proving an- unqualified success, in the opinion of J. W. Palmer, Doys- worn director of the association. Four boys have been chosen as di rectors of the several departments. The following boys have been elected di rectors: Stewart Weiss, Bible clubs Wayne Loder, social department: Ken neth Grow, executive department, and Morten Christenson, athletic depart ment. The business of the department is conducted by the cabinet, composed of me lour directors, and the council composed of the cabinet and the presi dents of the 15 Y. M. C. A. clubs. This system is proving a great suc cess," said Mr. Palmer yesterday. "It gives the boys the feeling that the as sociation is run for them and by them, not by a crowd of paid officials. They have their own court, where offenders are tried. They mete out their own punisnments. A cabinet meeting has been an nounced for next Wednesday nit tit. CHURCH FOLK HIT RECALL Men's Club of Presbyterian Body At tacks Move Against Officials. Recall of Mayor Albee and the two City Commissioners was condemned as wrong and without cause at this time at the banquet held by the Men's Club of the Third Presbyterian Church, East Pine and East Thirteenth streets, Tues day night. The club reaffirmed its confidence in these officials, which was expressed jby a resolution adopted last winter, and it was declared that the heavy expense of the special election is a great waste of money. Several who spoke on the recall declared that every one favorable to good government should sustain the Mayor and the two Commissioners and vote against the re call at the special election. The club adopted a resolution in op position to Commissioner Daly's water measure changing from the present method of collecting water tax on the ground that it would throw the burden of collecting the water tax on the property owner and make him respon sible for all losses. CONSCIENCE RETURNS NOTE Sheriff Word Receives Peculiarly Addressed Envelope by Mail. That the still small voice of con-, science is effective was proved yester day to Sheriff Word's satisfaction when he received through the mail two promissory notes amounting to $204 and some other effects, the property of Mrs. M. C. Howard, which had been stolen from the rooms of the Women's Relief Corps at the Courthouse several weeks ago. A The papers were mailed in such a way that no clew was left as to the identity of the sender. Brown wrap ping paper was pinned together in the form of an envelope and the address was formed by printed letters cut from a newspaper. The things recovered were in a purse belonging to Mrs. How ard. -which was missed during a re ception of women in the Relief Corps rooms. THIEF WRITER TO VICTIM Confession Made in Letter Leads to 9 0-Day Term Being Imposed. Scarcely did F. A. Stders, of Portland, realize that he had been robbed by a supposed friend before, he received a postcard telling him that a warrant sworn out for H. B. Smith's arrest would find the thief in Seattle. Smith wrote the card himself, admitted tak ing $17.50 and a check for $30 and gave himself up to the Seattle police. Being an alleged parole violator. Smith was sentenced to serve 90 days when he appeared before Municipal Judge Stevenson yesterday afternoon on a charge of larceny. Siders and Smith had worked in the harvest fields together and roomed at Scaddlng House before Smith left for Seattle with his friend's money. He spent the cash, but returned the $30 check. Smith previously had been un der arrest for a similar charge in the Kast, but had been paroled, the police say. FIXTURES TO BE CHECKED Mr. Daly Would See That None Es capes raying in Full for Water. Believing that there are hundreds of water-users in the city who have fix tures for which they are not paying the prescribed rates. City Commissioner Daly announced yesterday that he pro poses as soon as possible to commence a survey of all services. Under the rate schedule for water there is a minimum rate of 50 cents a month for water for culinary purposes only. An additional charge is made for toilets, bathtubs, water heaters and other fixtures. It is said that there are hundreds of water-users who have fix tures for which they are not paying up to the full requirement. There has not been a survey of the water service sys tem for 30 years, Mr. Daly says. Mrs. Louise J. Beggs, 51, Dies. Miss Louise J. Begss, aged 51 years, died Thursday flight at the home of her sister. Mrs. C J. Field. 407 East Fifty fourth street. The body will be shipped to Waukesha, Wis., accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Field. WHEAT IS HIGHER DEMAND KEEPS UP Bluestem Sells at $T.15 and Club at $1.09, With Offer- ings Less Free. . OATS AND FLOUR TAKEN First Shipment of Milled Product to Great Britain Arranged and For eign Orders In Northwest Are Put at 250,000 Barres. Grain men are of the opinion that prices will continue to advance as long as the war lasts. At any rate, the de mand now is so strong that wheat and oats prices are being moved up each day. Wheat cargoes are selling in Europe close to the highest prices re corded in the history of the trade, and so urgent appears to be the need for foodstuffs on the other side that Drtces seem to be a secondary consideration now. The local srrain market recnrriAri sharp advances yesterday. A large lot of bluestem wheat was sold at $1.15, a rise of 3 -cents, as compared with the previous day's business. Millers at coast points and in the interior are active buyers of milling wheat, and ex porters are picking up export grades wherever they are offered. Club wheat sold in the country during the day at prices equal to $1.09 here. oata Ip to 29. The oats market was lifted to $29 by the trading at the Merchants Ex change, out tne business done was light as sellers demanded more money. Throughout the country it is less easv to buy oats and wheat than it was at tne beginning of the week, as farmers are now convinced that higher prices win prevail. In addition to the 3500 tons of natn tnat nave been sold to the British jrov ernment and will be dispatched on the unstano, otner orders have been placed nere and on Pusret Sound. It is be lieved that the oats exportations from tne Nortnwest. will be very heavy, as supplies In the East have been much reduced by the heavy shipments made irom those sections to Europe. nour trade for European account is assuming heavy proportions. Manv mills in Oregon and Washineton have ooKea orders and there is enough busi ness in sight to keep them running for months. It is reported that about 250, 000 barrels of flour have been sold by Portland and Puiet Sound shippers to go forward to the warring nations. Flour Shipments Arrnnsed. The first shipment from Portland will consist of 20,000 barrels, which will go out on the British steamer Gowanburn, wnicn is now in the harbor. This cargo, which will be shipped by Kerr, Gif ford & Co., is destined for England. The same firm will send 6000 barrels to Cape Town by the steamer South Pacific, which Is now completing her cargo. The demand for flour and wheat rom South Africa is occasioned bv the shortness of the Australian wheat crop. in aaaition to the buylne of food stuffs by the British authorities, the German government is said to be also seeking to purchase supplies here. For several days a German purchasing agent has been, in this oity. but his operations are kept secret. It is known that funds have been deposited in New lorK for account of importers at Ber- m. Frankfort, Hamburg and other German cities for the purchase of sup plies needed by the German army. MRS. VAUGHN PLEASED COOKING DEMONSTRATOR PRAISES PORTLAND 'WOMEN'S SINCERITY. Mrs. R. I 81mm, Mm. Earl R. Web ber and Mrs. II. M. Haller Win Re wards Offered DnriiE Course. With a banner attendance at her lec ture yesterday Mrs. Kate B. "Vaughn closed the school of domestic science that she has been conducting under the auspices of The Oregonian in the old Heilig Theater, and left last night for California. Mrs. Vaughn expressed her deep ap preciation of the interest shown by the Portland- women in better foods bet ter homes. At the conclusion of the demonstration and lecture the fireless cooker was awarded to Mrs. R. L. Slmms. who held the lucky ticket. Mrs. Earl R. Webber, of the Rex Arms Apartments, was awarded a large cake as a prize for having written the best resume of the Tuesday's lecture, which was given particularly for young housewives. Mrs. H. M. Haller was the winner of one of the other' lavishly decorated cakes. . - . As a farewell treat those who at tended the meeting yesterday learned the secret of baking ice cream and still having the dainty desert firm and cold. They were Initiated into the mysteries of making roses of icing and of mashed potatoes. A dainty bit of decoration, a flaky white potato rose instead of a spoon ful dabbed down, will often coax the appetite and make the meal much more enjoyable." said Mrs. Vaughn. In demonstrating the making of pie crusts she said: "If the Ameripan man will insist on eating pie, let the Amer ican woman learn to make that pie right, so it will be not only good to look at and good to taste, but will be digestible." Homely truths, kindly advice, spark ing wit and profound wisdom were mingled in all that Mrs. Vaughn said. Her demonstrations were received with appreciation by the thousands of women who have attended the school during the week. In her elosing talk he expressed her gratification at the uccess of the afternoons and her con fidence in the sincerity of the Portland women and In their worthiness as homemakers. PERS0NAL.MENT.0N.

Plea for Former Crew for 1915 Exponl. tion Trip to lie Made and Souve nir Sales to Raise Funds. "The booth that the Salem Commer cial Club Is building at the Manufac turers' and Land Products Show at the Armory is the most perfect replica of the old 'battleship Oregon as she looked when she made the trip around the Horn in 1898 that I hava ever seen," says Adam Gill, who was a member of the old crew of the Oregon and who la In Portland working to carry through the arrangement that is planned to put the old crew back on the battleship for the opening of the Panama Canal and. for the exposition at San Francisco. Mr. Gill has secured leave of ab sence from his post at Mare Island and will go East after having visited the principal cities .on the Pacific Coast, to lay the matter before Secretary JJan lels. m Arrangements have been made for him to have a booth at the Land Show from which cards and posters with pic tures of the old battleship and photo graphs of Rear-Admiral Clark, who commanded her on the trip around the Horn and Jn the battle of Santiago, will be sold for the benefit of the fund for placing the old crew back on. board for the exposition. Mr. Gill probably will remain In Portland throughout the Land Show. ' The booth that the Salem Commer cial Club Is constructing Is extremely Ingenious. The battleship's hull Is made from Oregon hops, dried peaches and apricots make the turrets, dried ap ples the superstructure, dried prunes the funnels and the batteries are cov ered with dried raisins. The davits are made of dried raspberries. So well is the scheme worked out that at a little distance It appears to be a real copy of the ship. Preparations for the opening of the Land Show Monday night are now be ing rushed to a conclusion. W. A. Robb, manager of the Western Union Tele graph Company, and Fred Spoerl, of the Pacific Telephone Company, were on the ground yesterday superintending me laying oi tne wires wnicn will con nect the show with Washington, D. C, where President Wilson is to give the signal tor tne opening. GARBAGE DUMPS CLOSED IRE OF CITIZENS OVER INSANITARY CONDITIONS IS EFFECTIVE. Failure Dot to Lack of Ashes, Saya Commissioner Dieck Sooth Fort land Residents to Protest. Because of the uproar caused by the insanitary conditions arising from the dumping or garbage in Marauam Gulch near Terwilliger boulevard, under the new system created by Commissioner iaiy, the plan was abandoned vestr day and may not be resumed. All m case wagons were called off and the retuse was taken to the incinerator. Kesraents or tne district were aroused greatly because the e-arbaee aumpea in tne guicn during the past 10 days created an unbearable stench. Del egations went to Commissioner Daly's office and the telephones were kept Dusy answering teiepnone calls. The protests were so general that Commis sioner Daly finally called the whole thing off and set men to work .cover ing over the refuse. He said yesterday that the plan so far has been a failure and may not be attempted again.- South Portland people are going to conduct a stiff fight against the starting of the system again. An indignation meet ing will be held tonight at St. Lau rence Hall. Commissioner Daly says the trouble with the dump was too few ashes. In Seattle, where the plan has worked successfully, he says, there an large amounts of ashes, which help bury the other refuse. Residents declare the dump is a dis grace and they are positive in their stand against it. They say the stench is intolerable both night and day and will continue to be as long as the dump is kept up. They say also the barbage wagons driving along the new boule vard block traffic and cause much an noyance. It is a disgrace to have the most beautiful boulevard in the city lined with garbage wagons waiting to Ldump loads of putrid garbage into a guich alongside the boulevard, is the general opinion. Commissioner Daly put men to work yesterday getting the refuse all into the bottom of the canyon, where it will be carefully covered over.
