TnE MORNING OREGOKTATC, THURSDAY, Al'ItlL 22, 1915. T TO BE IN FESTIVAL Board Harkens Jovians and t Addition of to Plea of Others for Feature. PARADE'S VALUE RELATED Financial Difficulties Easily Met - by Theatrical Benefits and Other Means, Says Kequcbt ' to Governors of Show. ' The electrical pageant, which has teen one of the most distinctive fea tures In the Rose Festival, will not be omitted this year. The board of directors of tho Fes tival made this decision last night after receiving- the formal resolutions from the Jovian League urging that this feature be retained. This decision is the result of a cam paign inaugurated by the Jovians a little more than a. week ago, when It was ascertained that in making up the programme for the Festival no pro vision had been made in the budget for the electrical pageant, v The Jovians immediately appointed a committee and called upon all other civic organizations of the city to co operate in a movement to have the electrical parade reproduced as elven in the Festival last year. Hoard AgTtra to Feature. ' C. E. Warner submitted tho resolu tions resulting from the activities of the Jovians and other organizations to the. board of directors o the Festival last night. ' The board replied with resolutions, Unanimously adopted, to reproduce the pageant and ' appointed F, W. Hlld chairman of the committee. C. 13. War ner will work with Mr. llild on that committee. - The plan will be to give not only a reproduction of tho brilliant pageant of last year, but to amplify it with In numerable new features, which will make it the most elaborate and ex tensive pageant of the Festival. Tho Jovians, in whose membership is included practically all of the electrical engineers and leading electrical men of the city, have pledged their co-operation and will arrange for a large number of the proposed new features. In this way the festival will have en listed in tho work the artistic and in ventive skill of the best electrical men In the city. Jiewtst Ideas te Be Utilised. '. Many of the electrical men have re cently visited San Francisco and have made a special study of the gorgeous electrical effects that have been pro duced there and the knowledge thus obtained will be made available to the committee in working out the new fea tures of the coming pageant. The Jovians embodied their plea for the reproduction of the electrical parade and their plans for assisting in the elaboration of the pageant in a resolution of their own and other or ganizations which waa the basis of the action of the board of directors last night. After arguing that the electrical parade has created a great deal of in terest in the Festival and that many thousands of visitors would be disap pointed were it omitted, the resolution asserted that financial support of the pageant could be obtained easily from theatrical productions and other means. Jt said that the National Theater had already offered the use of the show house for a benefit performance and that other methods could be devised that would meet all of the expenses of the added feature. CEMENT PLANT INDORSED Teoplo of Oswego Afek Men Behind Big Project to Go Ahead. Completely overriding the objections of the few obstructionists among their number, the people of Oswego, in mass meeting assembled, Tuesday night adopted resolutions indorsing the ce ment plant now partially completed there and calling on the men behind the enterprise to proceed with their efforts and finish the buildings. The meeting was largely attended and every element of Oswego citizens was represented. The sentiment in fa vor of. the new industry was almost overwhelming. Judge Gordon E. Hayes, of Oregon City, and several residents of Oswego were the principal speakers. It was pointed out that probably 150 workers would get profitable employ ment throughout the year. The plant was started three or four years ago. but the magnificent build ings and machinery never were com pleted. PLEA FOR PRINCIPAL MADE Woodlawn Patrons to Have Hearing Before Board for C. M. Stafford. Headed by W. T. Vaughn, a large delegation from Woodlawn appeared before the teachers" committee of the School Board Tuesday night and pre sented a petition urging that Charles M.

This met the wishes of the dele gation. 3 AUTO MISHAPS REPORTED Reno Verhello Is Run Down, but Is ot Seriously Hurt. Three automobile accidents were re ported to the police Tuesday night.. ltene Verhelle, 241 East Sixty-tifth Ktreeet North, waa run down at Grand avenue and East Ankeny street by an automobile driven by B. E. McAvinney, He was not hurt seriously and was taken to his home In Mr. McAvinney machinee. W. It, Borwick, 1084 Minnesota ave nue, wrecked his automobile by collid ing with a fire hydrant on Front utreet below the Broadway bridge. A Haw , thorne-avenue jitney bus collided with ' k. Hawthorne-avenue street car at East Third street. The Jitney was damaged URUMIAH THOUGHT QUIET "o New Disorders by Kurd Bandits Reported to Washington. WASHINGTON. April 21 Turkish regular troops apparently have suc ceeded in, restoring order at Urumiah, ELECTRIC PAGEAN Persia, where Kurd bandit raids on native Christians led to reports that American and other foreign missiona ries had been attacked. Since the arrival of the force sent to Urumiah at the urgent representations of American Ambassador Morgenthau at Constantinople, it was learned to day there had been no renewal of the disorders so far as State Department advices show. The majority of rumors of attacks on foreigners originated at Tabriz and are said to have been founded largely on rough usage accorded one or two American missionaries who intervened in behalf of natives. No details of these disturbances, which have been common occurrences for years, have been received from con sular offices in the vicinity. 11 PLEAD FIVE-CENT FARE Garden Home Case Against Oregon Klectric Is Heard. A 5-cent fare to Garden Home, on the Oregon Electric Railway, was pleaded by 11 witnesses before the State Rail road Commission Tuesday. The hear ing was brought on complaint of the Tualatin Valley Transportation Associa tion in an attempt to reduce the cash fare from 20 cents to 5 cents. At the conclusion of yesterday's hear ing the Commissioin adjourned the case until May 3, when the railroad com pany's side of the case will be taken up. yesterday's witnesses, who for the most part were residents of Garden Home and nearby btations, were examined by R. R. Giltner and cross-examined by C. H. Carey for the Oregon Electrio Company. The valuation of the entire Oregon Electric system is placed at $11,829,643 in a report prepared by E. W. Moreland, assistant engineer for the Railroad Commission. This amount is approxi mately 87 per cent of the railroad com pany's own estimate of its worth. Fig ures submitted by the company placed the physical valuation at (13,404,733. The complaint originally was tiled on December 20, 1913, and the first hear ing was in March, 1914, when the com pany's estimates of original and repro duction cost of the piant and state ments of operating expenses and reve nues were submitted. The crux of the complaint is said to rest on the existence of a 15-cent fare between Capitol Hill and Garden Home, a distance of three miles. Under the company's city franchise the fare to Capitol Hill cannot be more than 5 cents, for that station is in the city limits. Witnesses examined Tuesday were Joshua Chambers, C, S. Tigard. William Kchatz, J. W. Schatz, O. E. Shepard, Mrs. 8. C. Nelson, Walter Brown, C. C. Tay lor. George Selkirk, Herman Metzger and G. G. McCormlc. ADVERTISING TALK GIVEN Making of Sales Object and News paper "Ads" Best, Says Expert. "It pays to advertise" was the sub ject of a lecture given Tuesday night to the salesmanship class of the indus trial department of the V. M. C. A. by J. II. McWilliams, advertising manager or Meier & 1'rank Company. The object of advertising is to make sales," said Mr. Williams. "If results are not obtained the venture fails, and If satisfactory sales result the plan followed is not subject to unfavorable criticism. -Clever advertising is that which plays up the wares it represents, rather than the fact that it is a pretty or clever advertisement. Persistency counts, also. Illustrated advertising is coming to the front and offers a great field to artists, but newspaper advertising counts most.

Teal, Back From East, Says Roads Would Strip City of Advantages. WHOLE COAST AFFECTED Industries of Cities in Balance, Is Assertion, and Flan Is 'Bared to Build Up Spokane Trade at Others' Expense. "A much greater question than that of mere rates is involved in the appli cation of the carriers for readjustment of transcontinental rates to the inte rior," says Joseph N. Teal, who returned Tuesday from the hearing conducted at Washington, last week by the Inter state Commerce Commission. "It Is the question," he continued, "of Portland and the other Coast terminals retaining the natural advantages given them by their position on tidewater. "It involves not only a few shippers, a few jobbers or a few merchants. It is vital to the entire community. The industry of the whole city is affected. Every resident of Portland ought to be interested. It is a great big, far reaching question." Carriers Change Attitude. Mr. Teal points out that in the pend ing application of the carriers an effort is being made to give Spokane and other interior cities the advantage of water competition when, in fact, water competition does not exist. In taking this position the carriers are abandon ing their former attitude of fixing rates to Portland and the Coast to meet water competition and of fixing rates to Spokane and the interior on what was construed as a reasonable basis, regardless of the Coast terminal rates. "It is plain to see," said Mr. Teal, "that the intention of the carriers now is to make rates to Spokane so low that the Spokane jobbers will be able to distribute goods in the Northwest to the exclusion of the Portland and Puget Sound jobbers. The idea is to build up Spokane as a jobbing center. Andneither the railroads nor the Spo kane people deny this contention. They admit that it is true." Rate Below 1'no Combined. While Mr. Teal and other represent atives of the Coast terminals always have held that the rate to Spokane should be the combination of the water rate to the Coast plus the rail rate back to Spokane, the railroads propose a rate to Spokane much lower than this combination. In fact, the present rates are substantially lower. In his argument before the Commis sion. Mr. Teal presented, for illustra tion, tho rates on canned corn. The water rate from New York to Portland is 50 cents per 100 pounds. To this must be added 15 cents to cover the cost of transportation from the point of origin to New York, and approximately 3 cents for insurance, wharfage, etc. The rate from Portland to Spokane is 43 cents, a total of (1.11. This, insisted Mr. Teal, should be the rate from New York to Spokane. But. as a matter of fact, the present rate is lower than this figure, yet the Coast cities offer no objection. Now, however, the carriers propose to cut this rate to 80 cents, 31 cents below the normal. Missoula and Boise Protest. This situation would leave Missoula, Boise and other points east of Spokane at a disadvantage and they entered vigorous protest. It appears to the Missoula people." explained Mr. Teal, "that the carriers are asking the Commission to permit them to set up one city, Spokane in this instance, as a jobbing center and to deny jobbing privileges to other points Doth east and west of Spokane. 1 don't believe that the Commission should be asked to do this. We have asked them, anyway, not to do it." Mr. Teal Intimates that the ultimate conclusion of all the rate perplexities growing out or the operation of the his toric long and: short-haul cases, is a mileage system of rate making. This, obviously, would give Spokane better rates from the East than Portland, but would enable Portland, or rather force 1'ortlana, to use Its natural water ad vantage, both for shipment from the Atlantic Seaboard and for distribution to the interior. . Trade Commission Met. While in Washington Mr. Teal waa Invited to appear before the newlv or ganized Trade Commission. He dis cussed with the Commissioners the lo cal lumber situation.
