BIG PLANT AT ISSUE
Operation of Cement Factory
at Oswego Discussed.
MASS MEETING IS CALLED
'Change in Sentiment Noted and
Former Opponents Now Anxious
for Commencement Sale to
Competitors Threatened.
After three years' Idleness, the pros
pect for the completion of the $750,000
Oswego plant of the Portland Cement
Company looms bright on the horizon.
This Is the only ceemnt plant In the
state, the nearest being- at Spokane,
Bellingham and in California. Ever
since the building of the plant started
there has been trouble, and now after
having: been practically complete, ex
cept for machinery, for three years, the
residents of Oswego have called a mass
meeting for tomororw night to see
what can be done to finish the plant
and get it in operation.
V. K. Cooper, a. storekeeper of Os
wego, and E. L. Davidson, an Oswego
druggist, have been working to have
the cement plant indorsed by Oswego
citizens, and Tuesday night will de
termine the fruits of their labor.
"I have always wanted Oswego to
grow." said Mr. Cooper yesterday, "but
.1 have found that the opinion of the
value of the cement plant to Oswego
differs in the minds of a few pioneer
citizens.
The plant would bring 150 families
to Oswego, it would put cement on the
Portland market at a low price and
the entire state of Oregon would.be
benefitted.
"When it was proposed to erect a
plant for the manufacture of cement
within our town limits two pioneer
residents circulated a petition among
the residents to prevent its being
built. They said that the dust would
J'Uin the land adjacent.
una saia mat Dusiness conditions
would not be improved, because there
would be many new stores and com
petition would be keener.
"As a matter of fact, the Oswego
plant will make cement by the wet
process, 'which does away with dust,
as the Bellingham and other 'wet' ce
ment plants have proved. Aman Moore
is the promoter. We have circulated a
petition, getting the signatures of cit
izens who will agree to assist the ce
ment plant, and Tuesday night we will
eee what can be done.
"Mr. Moore wants the city limits of
Oswego extended, because the plant is
inside the limits and is taxed, whereas,
the hotel and bunk-houses for em
ployes are outside, so the employes
and owners would not have a vote.
Mr. Moore has told the citizens that
he will sell the plant to competitors,
who wish it to remain closed and who
will arrive this week from San Fran
cisco, If they will not meet him fairly."
"W. M. Ladd, president of the Ladd &
Tilton Bank, wrote a letter last Friday
to Mr. Cooper and Mr. David son, the
special committee at Oswego, in which
he said that the Portland Cement Com
pany had had $306,000 new stock sub
scribed and had more than $50,000 on
deposit.
"The Oswego Commercial Club and
the City Council now want the plant."
continued Mr. Cooper. "Many of the
persons who signed the petition sev
eral years ago opposing the plant have
changed their minds. Limestone can
be brought from Polk County and East
ern Oregon, the low rate for the rough
stone making It much cheaper than
transporting the finished product."
CHEER URGED AS REMEDY
worry, Joi wort, is ie :aiy, says
Dr. George F Darsie.
"The benefits of cheerfulness are
many. It sweetens the bread, makes
happy the home, eases the burdens,
brightens the sky and renders clear
the Imagination." Tr. George F. Dar
wie. the new pastor of the First Chris
tian Church, gave this as hia opinion
yesterday morning, when he preached
an inspiring sermon on "Cheerfulness."
rr. Darsie said: "Nothing, doctors
maintain, conduces more to physical
health than does cheerfulness. One
who admits to himself and others that
he is sick is indeed so; but one who
declines to make such admission, and
cheerfully goes on as if he were well,
conquers many an ailment and wards
off many a threatening illness. It keeps
one young.
"On the score of mere utility, It Is
abundantly beneficial. He who is
blessed by its habitual exercise can
do more work and do It easier than
any other. The machinery of his life
does not heat or wear. He passes on
Into old age with his powers unim
paired. For it is not work that kills
men; it is worry."

SLIP FROM RAFT FATAL
BODY OF OLE THOMPSON', OF HOL-
BUOOK, TAKEN FROM RIVER.
Man on Way to Father's Funeral Is
Drowned Papers Indicate Htm to
Have Been Well-to-Do.
The body of a man supposed to be
Ole Thompson, of Holbrook, Or., was
found floating in the Willamette near
the Portland Lumber Company mills
at the foot of Sheridan street at 11:30
o'clock yesterday morning by City
Grappler Brady. The body had been
in the water some time.
Receipts for taxes, dated March 19,
and a safe deposit slip on a Portland
bank, a bunch of keys, and S10.50
were found in the clothes of the dead
man, who was about 40 years old.
Deputy Coroner Smith took charge of
the body.
There were no signs of foul play
and the supposition held by the Coro
ner is that the man may have walked
along a log raft by the mill and
slipped into the water. There Is no
evidence to dispute the death being ac
cidental. "
Harry Harris, of Holbrook, identified
the body at the Coroner's yesterday as
that of Thompson, and said that
Thompson left Holbrook, presumably
to go East to attend his father's fu
neral. Thompson was not married, but
is reputed to be well-to-do, owning
some Portland property. He has three
sisters and three brothers, all in East
ern states.
HOLBROOK, Or., April 18. (Spe
cial.) Ole Thompson, whose body was
found in the river at Portland today,
disappeared from here 10 days ago
when he started for the train for Port
land on his way East to attend the
funeral of his father. He had been
cutting wood for W. H. Poole, a farmer
here, and had been Btaying at the home
of Harry Harris. His father in Min
nesota was well-to-do, presumably, al
though Thompson's property consisted
of two lots In Portland. It is believed
that he fell from a raft into the river,
as there Is no evidence of foul play.

QUEEN PLAN IS GIVEN
E. C. Dye Wants Beauty in
Face and Mind.
NOTORIETY NOT DESIRED
Perfection of Face and Form Al
lied With. Highest Mental and
Moral Endowments Proposed
for Royal Court at Fete.
Among the suggestions received by
the contest editor on the selection of
the queen and princesses for the Rose
Festival comes an extended letter from
I f t .,. V"S o - v. - J"
E. C. Dye, of Oregon City, containing
a complete plan for selection of the
queen on a basis of grading on various
points of merit.
"It seems to me," says the writer.
ALL MAY ADVISE FESTIVAL
BOARD ABOUT dlEEX.
Every citizen of Portland is to
have an opportunity to assist the
Rose Festival Board in planning
for the election of the Queen and
Princesses who are to reign over
the coming Festival.
At the request of the directors
The Oregonian will receive writ-,
-ten suggestions as to the best
method by which a Queen may be
chosen. The most meritorious of
those plans will be published and
all letters will be turned over to
the Rose Festival Association for
final decision. Letters may be
addressed to Queen Contest Edi
tor, The Oregonian.
"that we should seek to find the type
of woman who stands for the best that
the sex affords, especially from a
physical, aesthetic, moral and Intellec
tual standpoint. Now, I believe the
way to do this is to make this contest
open to any young woman between
the-ages of 16 and 35. Make the en
tries secret, so that our timid but ex
tremely modest women can enter them
selves ' in the contest and be passed
upon as to their relative merits with
out being forced into unpleasant, pub
licity and criticism.
"Even if a thousand young women
should enter the contest so much the
better.
"To enter let each young woman
enter at least a photograph, showing
the head and bust, but preferably more
of her person, If that be possible. If
any young lady Is too poor to have
such a photo taken, let the committee
have photos taken for a large num
ber, which could be done at wholesale
prices.
Committee I Suggested.
"Now let an impartial committee of
say five men, to be selected by the Rose
Festival directors, the Mayor of Port
land and seven of the leading artists
and photographers of Portland who
specialize upon photographs of women,
pick out of this series of photos the
best one on the scale set out herein
after, as far as they possibly can.
"When the number has been reduced
to 100 entries let there be a personal
examination of the entries by persons
properly qualified to make such exam
ination; for instance, a board of artists
to pass .upon the appearance of the
head and face, a board of women phys
ical instructors to pass upon the form,
a board of artists and costume experts
to pass upon the dress, and a board of
specialists to pass upon the morals.

- Robert George Robinson.
Robert George Robinson, who
died at his home in Lonerock,
Or., April 8. 1915, was born in
Summerset County, Pennsylvania
June 27, 1830. He crossed the
plains to California in 1851 and
moved to Salem in 1860. and in
1864 married Lucy Ann Neal.
Mr. Robinson was one of the
pioneer merchants of Eastern
Oregon, entering the mercantile
business in Lonerock in 1877.
He was also known as the sheep
king of that section.
lie is survived by his widow.

'-
health and intellectual qualities of the
young- women, especially as regards the
effect on the features. Let 25 per cent
be perfect grade for the most beautiful
woman facially and ae regards her
head; 25 per cent be the perfect grade
for the most perfect lady as regards
form and proportions; 25 per cent be
the perfect grade for the young woman
who has the most tasteful and prettiest
dress, and 25 per cent the grade on
morals, health and intellectual quali
ties. Let all be graded on each of
these scales. Then let the four classes
be added together and let the queen
be the one who gets the highest grade;
Secrecy Is Advocated.
"I have been knotking around this
burg for a number of years; also I have
been in numerous other cities in the
country; also have been perennially
studying this matter: and believe me,
a contest like this, with adequate
secrecy so no young woman can be
discussed and so every one can be
saved from the mortification of dis
agreeable publicity in case she fails,
will produce a beauty that will be away
above anything we think Portland has.
My observation is that Portland has
more fair women In proportion to its
population than almost any other city.
Why at is I do not know. I met a
young woman in Portland several years
ago, whom I believe , would have cap
tured any beauty contest in the world.
I think it not too much to say that
the girl who wins this contest may
well consider herself one of the great
beauties of the world. It would be
no more than right for her to have
as her maids of honor the several next
below on the scale suggested, and for
the Festival to give them all a good
big tour around the country, or a good
big cash prize, and preferably both."
'"I believe, as I said before, that Port
land will find a girl who will be second
to no other girl in the world, and as an
advertisement for the city and the Fes
tival it would be without a peer. It
may look difficult to go through all
this committee work to obtain the re
sult, but it would pay amply, because
I know positively that there are women
of various ranks In the city who are
world leaders in beauty.
"There is not enough attention paid
to art in this country, anyhow. It is
time that there was a change, and the
effect will be as it was in some of the
ancient races, a type of physical beauty
and grace which will ennoble the race
and make for a much higher type of
physical, moral and intellectual devel
opment than we now have, to say noth
ing at all about the subsidiary aesthetic
and other results that would accrue if
such a movement were started and kept
up. The work could be arranged so
that the examinations would not be
tedious."

NEW DANCES CENSURED
DR. BOYD DECLARES SPIRITUALITY
OF RACE IS DECLINING.
i
Plea Made for Righteous I.I vine and
- Lack of Religions Training in
Schools Criticised.
The modern dance, the new varia
tions and their effect on the youth of
America were denounced as "degrad
ing," "debauching" and "prostituting"
by Rev. John H. Boyd, of the First
Presbyterian Church, yesterday morn
ing as he prayed at tne close of his
sermon on "Conduct in Life" that God
would show mercy and bring the peo
ple back to a realization of their lack
of morality and the loss of their spir
itual self in the modern mode of con
duct. Dr. Boyd cited the fall of Rome
and Athens, their causes and effects
the debauching of their peoples in the
days of earlier centuries.
"France today is a dying, perishing
nation and so corrupt that its own leg
islators are discussing their own
decadence," declared Dr. Boyd. "The
trouble with the world today is bad
action, not wrong thinking. Mere In
tellectual development is not necessar
ily associated with the moral efficiency
of mankind.
"Take our own Aaron Burr, the Vice
President. No greater mind, no greater
intellectuality than his is known to
American history, but look how far he
fell in morality. I repeat, though you
may take issue with me, that mere in
tellectual development, mere improve
ment of the mind, is not necessarily
associated with moral efficiency.
"The American people today are for
getting their spiritual self. You school
teachers sitting before me dare not
open your mouths tomorrow in your
schoolroom to tell your pupils of the
divine guidance, the spiritual function
i:eceseary in the rightful conduct of
life or the School Board will call you
to account. Your hands are tied. Why,
when I was in Chicago the 6chool
Board threw out Kipling's "Recession
al" from the public schools.
"What the world needs today Is
something compelling us to do the
right, which, in our conscience, we
know ought to be done.'1
MILITARY TRAINING IS HIT
Kev. J. D. Corby Commends Firm
Which Refused Ammunition Order.
In his sermon yesterday morning at
the First Universalist Church. East
Twenty-fourth and Broadway, Rev.
James D. Corby declared that war is
the most useless and costly of all hu
man follies and must be abolished.
His topic was: "Shall We Give Our
Children Military Training?" He point
ed out that the interest alone on the
wars would rest as a burden on the
people for the next 50 years or more,
and that the accumulating principal
can never be paid. ' Good roads, hospi
tals and universities might be erected
all over the country out of the money
that war cost. '
"That great Philadelphia steel firm
which refused to make more than
1,000,000 shells on ar order for Great
Britain," said Rev. Corby, "was a most
significant action. Because these shells
were to be used to murder people with
the management refused the contract
that would have yielded the company a
profit of 1400,000."
Rev. Corby pointed to the Boy Scout
organization as an organization that
teaches discipline and self-control and
gives the boy what he craves and must
have, without the military spirit and
training and tendency for war.
MAZAMAS FIND ROUTE
Scouts Ascend. Table Mountain and
Watch Sun Rise Over Valley.
Charles A. Benz, A. II. S. Haffenden

Council Calls for Vote May 1 on Ques
tion of Baying Private Plants or
lain- Bull Ran Supply.
The Milwaukie Council, at a special
meeting Tuesday night, decided to call
a special election May 1 to decide
whether the Council shall be authorized
to acquire the Milwaukie water works
and the Mlnthorn Springs Water Com
pany plants by arbitration or condem
nation, and whether Bull Hun water or
Mlnthorn Springs water shall be used
for the municipal water works.
The situation is complicated and may
become more so. Gieblsch & Joplin, of
Portland, have a contract to lay eight
and six-inch water mains to a connec
tion with the Bull Run pipeline In
Portland. They have delivered the
pipe1 and have laid a considerable por

the Supreme Court, issued on the appli
cation of the owners of the Milwaukie
and Mtnthorn Springs plants, and can
not get their money until the case Is
settled. It Is expected that arguments
will be made in the Supreme Court in
May.
If the voters May 1 favor Mlnthorn
Springs water as against Bull Kun
water, it would create an embarrassing
situation, as the eight-Inch pipe to con
nect with the Portland Bull ltun pipe
has been laid most of the distance.
This first contract calls for (16,500, and

Who buys FISHER'S BLEND FLOUR will find
it a perfect all-purpose flour, as good for cakes
and pastry as for bread. It is superior to an
all-hard wheat flour or an all-soft wheat flour.
FISHER'S BLEND is a combination of
flours made from EASTERN HARD WHEAT,
GROWN IN MONTANA AND DAKOTA, and
CHOICEST BLUESTEM WHEAT, GROWN
IN EASTERN OREGON AND EASTERN
WASHINGTON.
The slight extra cost of a sack of FISHER'S
BLEND is more than absorbed in the increased
number and size of the loaves and the better
quality of the bread.
For sale by all grocers.
