TTTE MORNING OKEGONIAJf, - FRIDAY. HronKBaESBBKBEHBTi i rr m V SEVERAL ADDRESSES MADE At Progressive Business Men's Club Conference Celebration of Mar ket's Completion Carried Off Without Hitch. The Portland public market Is more than paying running expenses; it Is a success and has come to stay, accord ing to evidence produced yesterday at the celebration of the market's completion, by city officials, producers and consumers at the luncheon at the Multnomah Hotel of the Progressive Business Men's Club, which has been one of the prime movers for the suc cess of the venture. There was not a dull moment during the two hours' meeting, when the pro gramme arranged by the chairman of the day, Frank H. Hilton, was carried out In full. Music interspersed the speeches, some of which were a minute only in duration. Following a solo by Mrs. Lulu Dahl Miller, N. H. Atchison, representing the Portland Realty Board, and one of the backers of the public market from its Inception, made the first short ad dress, telling of his own and the board's hopes that the public market would continue to be well patronized, for only through patronage could It be a success. Market Blaster Talks. J. H. Eastham, market master, made a short talk, in which he showed the good results from the producers' or farmers' viewpoint. He had more to say, but his minute expired too quickly, he said. J. C. English, as representative of the Rotary Club, expressed hope that the public market would see further deserved success. Then I M. Lepp'er "received a hand" as he arose to speak, and as represen tative of the East Side Business Men's Club, which promoted the public mar ket idea and brought it to a head, he made a ringing speech, and when "called to order," because his minute had expired, he determined to Bay more, and declared, after the noise had ceased, that 20.000 persons had passed through and patronized the Portland public market during the Thanksgiv ing marketing season this year. Mat to Give Matinee. Frank Coffinberry, who was not backward in declaring himself a "M-U-T" (men united for service), told of the Huts' plans for a matinee per formance to be given at the Baker Theater December 23 for the benefit of the poor. The admission price will be set at one or more toys, which shall be placed in the Armory for distribu tion to the worthy poor children of the city on December 24. that their Christ mas may be made a happy one. There will be from eight to 12 acts, donated from the vaudeville and legitimate theaters of the city, playing here that week. J. Fred Larson, representing the Commercial Club, was enthusiastic in his and the club's support of the mar ket. Marshall N. Dana told of his ef forts in the early days of the public market XV. J. Head, a farmer from across the border, but a resident of the Orenco country for the past two years, told of the benefit of the market from the farmer's viewpoint, declaring that the farmers in his vicinity had received re turns close to $7000 this season by use of the public market and given the consumer good returns without paying the prices of the middleman. Woman Asks More Time. Mrs. H. C. Utah, one of the women backers of the new Institution, was the only feminine voice to be heard, but she said her time of one minute was far too short for what she had to say of the market's value from the work er's and housewife's standpoint. Fol lowing a short commendation speech by Eugene Brookings, lauding the work of those who gave of their time and labor that the public, market should be born and should live. John Claire Monteith rendered two popular selec tions, followed by Mr. H. R. Emmerson, of the Ad Club Quartet, In clever ren ditions. Following the speech of George Tur kawa, which was less than one-half minute duration, interpreted by K. Oka moto, who spoke for two minutes. Mayor Albee arose and said that the only thing-'rnllltatlng against "a beautiful address" from him was the fact that he "had no interpreter with him." He pleaded for continued use of the mar ket by the public that it might grow and "wax strong." Commissioner Bige low followed the Mayor and told how valuable the market is. what a pay ing investment it is, told of its early beginning of 300 running feet of sheds, now grown to 600 running feet of sheds, followed by the Installation of a build ing at the corner of Yamhill and Fourth streets. The City Council donated $700 toward building these sheds, he said. J. F. Carroll, popularly styled the "father of the public market," closed the big celebration with a fitting address.
