THE MOKMNG ORFGOMAN, SATURDAY, APRIL, 24, 1915.
CANADIAN -PACIFIC
CHIEF IS VISITOR
Sir Thomas Shaughnessy and
Family Spend Few Hours
on Way From Fair.
COMMON AIMS VIEWED
tcmocratic Hailroad President
Says Same Purposes Will Make
IVlend&hip Between America
and Canada lasting.
Canada and the United States are
sister nations and have so many com
mon inteersts that their friendship
never will be broken, says Sir Thomas
O. Shauphnessy.
"'The only thing lacking at the San
Francisco fair," he commented when in
Portland yesterday, "is that there is
not some suitable commemoration of
the more than 100 years of peace be
tween Canada and the United States."
Sir Thomas himself is a living exam
ple of the close relationship between
the two countries, for he, as a native
of the United States, has become one of
the leading figures in Canada.
Accompanied by Laay Shaughnessy
nd their daughter, Miss Marguerite, he
passed a few hours in Portland. De
spite his title of distinction and his
position at the head of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, which, by the way, is
the greatest transportation system in
the world. Sir Thomas is every inch a
democrat. He is more democratic than
most of his visitors yesterday thought
lie was.
Visitor's Appenrnnce Democratic.
He has a bristly white mustache and
the regulation goatee of the titled per
son, but right there his outward ap
pearance ceases to bear out the fact
that he Is a person of title. He doesn"t
wear a monocle, nor a frock coat, nor
does he habitually carry a cane. He
doesn't have a distinctive drawl nor
does he drop his r's.
Never once in the time that he was
in Portland did he say "Don't you
know" or "I say."
fir Thomas Is an early riser. His
private car "Kiilarney" was drawn
into the Union Depot on a Southern
Pacific train from California at 7:20
o'clock yesterday morning. By the time
a yard engine had finished switching
It back and forth and getting the car
headed in the direction of Seattle, Sir
Thomas, in his shirt sleeves, was peer
ing out of the windows.
Directly he pulled on a sack coat
and descended the steps. He was greet
ed by J. V. Murphy, general agent for
the Canadian Pacific in Portland.
"So this is Portland," he commented.
"Yes, this Is Portland," someone
agreed. "Glad to be here?"
Picture Pusinic Amuses.
"Oh, yes, but sorry I can't stay a
little longer."
Then he began a brisk stroll up and
down the cement platforms beneath
the umbrella sheds. The fumes from
a hotbox on a car at the far end of
the station did not disutrb him. He
has been a railroad man all hia life
and evidently was used to It.
He stopped two or three times to
pose for his picture, but soon grew
tires of accommodating the photog
raphers. He isn't used to it. They do
things differently in Canada.
Finally, when the last newspaper
photographer approached him he of
fered nothing but a blank but good
natured refusal.
"Why, all the other papers already
have taken my picture," he argued,
"and don't you see It would be a great
thing for you not to print one at all,
toy way of contrast."
He was induced, however, to change
his mind, but not until after he had
greeted J. D. Farrell, president of the
O.-W. It. & N. Company, who is an
old friend, and J. P. O'Brien, general
manager of the O.-W. R. & N. Company.
Mr. Farrell persuaded him to stand up
before the camera "Just once more."
Meanwhile the photographers were
making strenuous efforts to obtain
photographs of Lady Shaughnessy and
Miss Marguerite.
Dansblrr Coaxed to Join.
"No, the ladles will not be photo
graphed," warned Sir Thomas. . "They
have been snapped in all Borts of ri
diculous poses ever since we came to
the States, and they are tired of it."
But presently Miss Marguerite de
scended the platform to accompany her
father and Mr. Farrell and Mr. O'Brien
on an automobile drive.
"Aw, come on and get Into the pic
ture," coaxed Sir Thomas, and finally
his daughter joined the group and
smilingly accommodated the photogra
pher. The Shaughnessy party has Just re
turned from the San Francisco fair.
They also have toured other parts of
the "States."
Sir Thomas was particularly proud
of the Canadian government exhibit.
Many peaple have told him that It is
the finest individual display on the
grounds and he was inclined to agree
with them. '
Business Xot Hart by War.
Someone mentioned the war.
"No, the war hasn't damaged our
business much. Canada is not enjoying
a full measure of prosperity right now,
but it is not due wholly to the war.
It is one of those natural periods of
depression that a country must expe
rience every once in a while. I have
known a good many such 'periods in
the United States, and I guess the
United States always got over them all
right. Canada will get over hers."
Then he calmly predicted that event
ually Canada will have a larger pop
ulation than the United State.
"Our almost unlimited fund of nat
ural resolurces will make it so," he
declared. He discussed the develop
ment of Canada at length with L. P.
Thornton, representative for the Can
adian Pacific department of natural re
sources in Portland.
In the midst of his tour of the sta
tion yards Sir Thomas was pleasantly
interrupted by a committee from the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, bear
ing a huge bouquet of Portland's choic
est roses. The presentation speech was
made by Dr. E. A. Pierce. Other mem
bers of the party were O. C. Borts
meyer, T. J. Swivel, Frank E. Smith,
K. II. Crozier, Bean Vincent and II. V.
Chase.
Tour of City Made.
"Some day we hope that a rose bush
sprouted from one produce! by the
ltoyal Itosarians will grace your door
yard at Montreal," suggested Dr. Pierce
Warmly.
"It certainly will be a pleasure," an
swered Sir Thomas.
For a few hours Sir Thomas and his
daughter enjoyed the drives around
Portland. Lady Shaughnessy " declined
to go. Mr. Farrell accompanied them,
on his own private car, in a special
train that took them to Seattle, leav
ing Portland at 11 o'clock.

MARSHFIELD, Or.. April 23. (Spe

forgery case of last Saturday night and
indictments are expected soon.. Five
men are in custody, including Joe
Seavich, Sam Logan, Mak Matich, John
Penovich and Dan Madich. Each has
been identified by persons on whom
they are charged with having passed
worthless checks, or attempted to do so.
It is believed the chief offender who
drew the checks and provided their
printing has not appeared here and it
is supposed they were brought here
from San Francisco or Seattle.
John Penovich is said to be fully

'Remain on Farm," Is Advice of
Oregon's Executive Before' 3000
People Attending Industrial
Fair, Big Success.
JUNCTION CITT. Or.. April 23.
(Special.) The first Industrial school
fair of the state where, exhibits were
minutely graded was held here today,
Instead of "back to the farm," the
injunction should be "remain on the
farm," declared the Governor at the
successful meeting of rural and city
folk held today.. The pumpkin show
pavilion was crowded from 9 to 3,
the crowd being beyond 'expectation,?
fully 3000 people attending.
Introduced by C. Aylesworth, super
visor, as Oregon's leading agriculturist
and authority. Governor Withycombe,
almost with his first breath urged his
auditors to remain on the farm.
"Make your homes more attractive so
children would not want to go to
cities." he said. "If you are thinking of
building a home in a city, I would ad
vise that you erect the home, not in
the city, but on the home place. Im
prove your farms. This Is the richest
section in the world and, with intelli
gent management, crops never fail
and give the cows a chance, as this is
an excellent dairy country."
He declared that a diversity of crop.s
was necessary.
J. A Churchill, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, urged his audi
tors to make the sacrifice and install
a system of vocational training.
"An education for the masses is for
the preservation of the Nation, and no
nation has such a national ideal as
we," said the superintendent. "Effi
cient citizens are the outcome of voca
tional training, as the educators real
ized when they started the National
system. I am pleased with the work
here, as it shows leadership for indus
trial work. The time Is near when, by
laboratory system, a boy may be Judged
whether fitted for certain lines of
work."
Lone Pine won first prize, a piano:
Franklin, second. The exhibits were
Judged by Anna Turley. Helen Cowgill,
F. L. Griffin. F. 1 . Shepherd, K. 15.
Fltts and O. G. Simpson, of the exten
sion department of the Oregon Agri
cultural College.
The amusement features were a

ators, a merry-go-round and band
concert.
