VODD BLOCK PAVING
URGED BY CHAMBER
Lumber Industry's Importance
to State Is Cited in Advice
on Road Bond Funds.
OREGON FIR IS ADVOCATED
l'uiliirc of Tjpc in Portland Attrib
uted to Poor Work Jn Laying and
(Success Jn Other Large
Cities Is Pointed Out.
Trustees of the new Portland Cham
ber of Commerce at a meeting Wednes
day passed a resolution asking that
Ihe County Commissioners in arrang
ing; for the expenditure of the road
bonds fund take into consideration the
greatest rood for the greatest num
ber of the citizens of tho state, and
urging them to do everything possible
along the lines of good ousiness judg
ment to foster tho use of wood-block
pavement.
Tho resolution follows:
Whereas. Multnomnh County Is about to
spend a. largo sum of money for road pav
inc find
Whereas, A proper expenditure of this
fund will be of untold benont to the labor
ing men and other citizens of Oregon, and
Whereas. Roads paved with wood blocks I
nave many good qualities, Including dura
bility, and B
Whereas. Many coimtries of Europe, as
well as many sections of the Untied States
have tested this type of pavement with suc
cess, nnd
Whereas, of the l.."0O,O00 square yards of
wood block navin? laid In the United states
during the year 11H4, but a fraction of one
per cent was laid In the State of Oregon,
and
Whereas. There is standing in the State
of Oregon todav 20 per cent of all the tim
ber in the United States, and
Whereas. More than ttO per cent of the
labor nnd nearly 8 per cent of the popula
tion of Oregon is dependent upon the lum
ber industry for support, and
Flighty Per Cent In Actual (mt.
Whereas, More than SO per. cent of the
cost of converting our forests into lumber
is represented by actual cash, paid out to
watre-eamers: now tllereforo be it
Resolved. That the trustees of the Cham
ber of Commerce of 'Portland. Or., repre
senting nearly 50M members, and having; at
heart the best interests of the City of Port
land, the County of Multnomah and the
State of Oreiron, request the Commissioners
of Multnomah County to taku into consid
eration the greatest good to the greatest
number of the clizeus of Oregon when ar
ranging tor the expenditure of the money
mentioned above and do everything possible
along the lines of good business Judgment to
foster the use of wood block pavement.
"I doubt if there aro many persons
who realize the immense importance
to the welfare of Oregon of the lum
ber industry and its development," said
O. P. M. Goss, consulting engineer with
the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers'
A ssneiation.
"For instance, how many persons
know- that the output of forest products
of Oregon totals $30,000,000 a year?
Compare this with the value of the
fish output. $5,000,000: of the fruit in
dustry. J6. 750.000: of wheat. $16,000,000.
Though these are all Important indus
tries their combined total is less than
of lumber alone.
Importance la Kmphattisrd.
"Wood block pavement is not an ex
periment. It is a thoroughly practical
pavement and one that has been proved
thoroughly in this country and Europe.
As the resolution says. 1.500.000 square
yards of wood block pavement were
laid in the United States last year, yet
right here in Oregon, where we have
the timber in abundance, the best wood
for wood block pavement, and where
NO per cent of the people are directly
Hffected by the lumber industry, only
a fraction of one per cent was laid.
"Just to show what some other places
think of Oregon fir wood block pave
ment, it may be mentioned that the
City Council of Seattle has just author
ized 14,000 squaTe yards of fir block
pavement on six blocks. . in Twelfth
avenue south of Madison street. This
order is the direct outcome of the
paving of two of the busiest blocks
in the city, in Second avenue, with
the same material.
"What little wood block pavement we
have in Portland is for the most part
miserably laid and 'not in accordance
with standard specifications. In New
York, Iondon and. other big cities,
where they have been laid right, they
have given the greatest satisfaction.
"First of all, however, it is neces
sary to use Douglas fir in building
some of our own roads and streets. A
wood block pavement constructed in
accordance with the specifications or
dered by Multnomah County will give
better service than other types of pave
ment, and should have the support of
every person who sincerely wishes to
back local development."
REPLY IS NEARLY READY
(iUHMA.V SOTB NOW AWAITS FINAL
APPROVAL OK KAISER,
Mennage May Reach Washington Tues
day or Wednesday British Answer
Regarded as Incomplete.
WASHINGTON, May 21. Germany's
reply to the American note, sent a week
ago today as a consequence of the Lusi
tania tragedy and other violations of
American rights in the war none, is
almost complete, according to intima
tions which have reached hero through
diplomatic channels.
The return of Emperor William from
the Eastern front is said to be awaited
by the Imperial Chancellor and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, before the
document is put into final form for
presentation to Amdassador Gerard. It
may reach here next Tuesday or Wed
nesday. The Issuance today by the British
foreign office of an explanation of de
tentions of American cargoes was re
ceived with much interest in official
quarters, but without comment. While
the memorandum explains some of the
points taken up in a note under prep
aration to be sent to Great Britain,
it was said by some officials that the
United States had not yet obtained 'a
satisfactory explanation of its original
inquiry with respect to England's right
to halt any cargoes of non-contraband,
including cotton, consigned to neutral
ports, which cannot be blockaded under
international law.
Neither the State Department nor the
Austrian or German embassies has any
positive information as yet as to the
tone or character of the German reply
to tho American note.
STREET CURVE MAY BE CUT
A a Ellington-Street Property-Owners
i'avor Proposed Improvement.
Washinston-strert property owners
met at Hie Carlton Hotel Thursday
with Commissioner Dieck with refer
ence to the proposed improvement of
Washington street between Lownsdale
and Sixteenth street, where it is de
sired to cut away a strip of property
on the south side of the street to elimi
nate a dangerous curve.
About a score of the heaviest owners
of property on the street were present
and unanimously agreed to back the
Commissioner in his plans. The extent
of the assessment district and the size
of the assessment virtually have been
agreed upon.
It is estimated that the improvement
im fuli will cost approximately J15.000,
of which a part must be borne by the
city itself. The plans provide 'that a
strip be cut from the front end of the
Sixteenth-street fire station.
Some differences have arisen, how
ever, over the amount to be paid to
the Schwab estate for the strip to be
cut from two store buildings immedi
ately west of th fire station.
EMPRESS GETS JOMELLI
XOTEB SINOKK TO APPEAR AGAI.
IV PORTLAXD MONDAY.
Diva He KirM Star Here Since Mr.
ConMidlae Chained Control of
Circuit Second Time.
Madame Jeanne Jomelli, prima donna
of the Metropolitan Opera Company,
has been engaged by John W. Consi
dine to be his first headliner at the
Empress Theater here in honor of his
resumption of control of the vaude
ville circuit next Monday. Madame
Mme. Joatrlli, Prima Donna, Who
Mill Appear at Kmiirrm Thea
ter Monday.
Jomelli arrived in Portland from Chi
cago yesterday. She will make her
first appearance at the matinee Mon
day. Mr. Considine engaged the noted diva
as star of his Portland show immedi
ately aTter she completed her tour of
the Orpheum circuit at the Majestic
Theater in Chicago. Madame Jomelli
scored a tremendous hit at the Or
pheum here last January and that suc
cess, in a measure, was responsible for
her "come-back" Portland engagement.
Slio was such a favorite in her pre
vious visit here she was retained for a
second week, an honor never before
bestowed on an Orpheum artist in
Portland.
The celebrated singer was appearing
at the Majestic Theater in, Chicago
when Mr. Considine and the Loew in
terests were conferring in New York
over the transfer of the Empress cir
cuit back to the control of Mr. Consi
dine. Immediately after the decision
of the Sullivan & Considine forces to
take back the vaudeville circuit, Mr.
Considine telegraphed Madame Jomelli,
offering her a week's engagement at
the Empress here and she accepted Im
mediately. Madame Jomelli was engaged at a
figure which records her as the highest-priced
star ever booked by Mr.
Considine.
In touring the Orpheum circuit
Madame Jomelli made a distinct hit in
every city and at the close of the tour
she declared Portland was her beloved
city, the reception won by her here
being the greatest.
In her Empress engagement Madame
Jomelli will be heard in a new reper
toire. When at the Orpheum special
request was made laily that the diva
sing "Home, Sweet Home," and she has
decided to include that selection in her
programme at every show."

FORMALITY FOREIGN
ATGHAMBER DINNER
'Get-Acquainted' Gathering Is
Marked by Good-Fellow-ship
on Part of All.
JUICY STEAKS ARE ENJOYED
1'nconvcntionality Reigns Supreme
at first function Since Consoli
dation; Speeches Informal and
Thoroughly I-iked. t
Fine formalities were cast aside and
delightful unconventionality reigned
unrestrained at the big "get-acquainted"
dinner at the Chamber of Commerce
Thursday night from 6 o'clock to mid
night. The. function bore out its title
in every particular. Every man present
had repeated, if not continuous, oppor
tunities of learning to know every other
man present. Most of them embraced
the opportunities with freedom and
gladness.
It was the first entertainment pro
vided by the new house committee ap
pointed coincident to tho recent con
solidation of the Chamber of Commerce
and Commercial Club. And it was
agreed all around that the committee's
initial efforts certainly were prolific of
fun and good fellowship in superabund
ance. All Acquainted Early.
Even before the soup was passed, C.
C. Colt, president of the Chamber, got
the folks into tho habit of being free
and easy with one another. He or
dered every man to introduce himself
and to shake hands with the man at
his right, at his left and across the
table. That started things going, and
after that there, was nothing to it but
mild revelry that grew in its cor
diality and good nature as the early
evening waned toward midnight.
So far as similarity to other dinners
Is concerned, this one started with the
soup and ended there. Its principal
dissimilarity was in the beefsteak,
served in great slabs of toast. Mr.
Colt, who is in the packing-house
business, had to confess that he didn't
know where the house committee could
scare up such choice tenderloins. He
called upon John Cronan, chairman of
tho house committee, to tell, but Mr.
Cronan refused.
Not contented with departure from
conventional ways in its dinner serv
ice the committee had another pleas
ing innovation in the post-prandial
programme. No prearranged speeches
were permitted. Those fellows who
came intending to speak were good
naturedly not called on at all and many
who never expected to be heard were
made to get up and tell of the sen
sation they experienced in belonging to
the new Chamber.
Speakers Well Receive!.
First among these was Carl Schal
linger, who promised "to do all I can
to bring about the success of the new
organization."
Mcltinley Mitchell was taken so by
surprise when the chairman called his
name that he scaVce could give ut
terance to his feelings, but received
a good-natured "glad hand" all the
same.
John Hartog took a few cheerful
flings at the chairman, but then struck
a serious note by contrasting the pres
ent fortunate position of the people in
America to the miserable lot of the
men in the trenches in Europe. He
brought forth a prolonged round of
applause in his cordial tribute to Pres
ident Wilson, "the man who is preserv
ing the peace of the Nation."
"If there are some In this country
who want to fight," he exclaimed, "let
them take a convenient boat to Europe.
I think they can find accommodations
there."
A. L. Barbur responded by asking
that his membership be taken serious
ly. Although he is a candidate for of
fice, he said, he nevertheless expects
to do his share of the work in the new
organization.
Lewis Thompson, the architect, who
la supervising the physical changes in
the Commercial Club building, ex
plained some of the details of the
work. w
Labor Speaker Applauded.
Edgar E. Smith, one of the represen
tatives of the Central Labor Council
in the chamber, was received with vig
orous applause. He said that the labor
ing people, too, want their affiliations
with the chamber taken seriously.
Judge Colvig appealed for wider ef
fort on behalf of the entire state and
the whole Northwest, as well as for
Portland.
O. W. Mielke was optimistic of the
Work that can be done, and R. D. Car
penter predicted that much can be ac
complished by utilizing "the new blood"
among the members.
W. F. Woodward, one of the directors,
spoke in complimentary terms of the
previous remarks of Mr. Smith, and
declared that if the chamber can be
instrumental in bringing about a closer
understanding between employer and
employe its existence will not have
been in vain.
B. D. Timms, Henry E. Reed. Frank
M Smith. E. L. Thompson, John F.
Dougall. J. C. English, C. F. Berg, F.
C. Rigga and H. W. Mitchell, other
directors, spoke briefly.

JEWS ARE CALLED LOYAL
Race Ready to Support President to
Last Man, Says Editorial.
NEW YORK, May 16. Referring to
an editorial published in the Frank
furter Zeitung saying that the United
States cannot declare war on Germany
because of the millions of Germans,
Irish and Jews in this country, the
Warheit said:
"The Jews sh&uld very much like
the" Frankfurter Zeitung and others
to refrain from mentioning them in
their discussions of a war between the
United States and Germany. If men
tioned they must be, then let it be
said in their name: 'The Jews of the
United States will all, to the last man.
stand behind President Wilson and the
United States Government."
, "We take the responsibility for the
statement that in all international
matters in which the United States is
involved the Jews as a National unit
are the only ones who stand solidly be
hind the Washington Administration.
This was true with regard to the Mex
ican question; this is just as true now
with" regard to the world war. The
Jews may have their sympathies, but
where living up to the Presidents
neutrality proclamation is concerned
they will not be found among those
who under the pretense of neutrality
carry on a systematic agitation against
one or another of the warring na
tions. "The attitude of the Jews toward the
sinking of the Lusitania may serve as
an example of their loyalty and
patriotism. A survey of the Jewish
press and a comparison between the
sermons in the churches and those in
the synagogues of the country will
prove conclusively that the Jews are
undivided in their support of the Presi
dent and are ready to serve him and
their country in any emergency that
may arise."
BABY IS LEFT IN SALOON
MOTHER TELLS BARTENDER HE

New York Woman Afterwards Repents
and Seeks Child, Hut Police Arrest
Her for Abandonment.
NEW YORK, May 15. An East Side
mother, suffering from poverty and
abandoned by her husband, entered a
saloon near Thirty-sixth street and
First avenue yesterday afternoon, gent
ly lifted a blue-eyed baby a year old
from a basket on her arm and laid it
on the bar.
"It's you that'll have to take care of
the baby now," declared Mrs. Bridget
McQuinn, the mother, beginning to cry,
"I've done all I can to keep it, but
now my money's all gone. This place
has made a bum of my husband. Tim.
You know you did that.' shff flared up
at the astonished bartender. She kissed
the baby quickly and went out
Mrs. Bridget McQuinn lived with her
three babies in a tenement at 330 East
Thirty-ninth street. Tim. her husband,
was a roustabout sailor on cattle ships
sailing between New York and Newport
News and the French coast. But when
Tim reached home he spent his money
and time in saloons.
In her desperation the mother a year
ago made a raid on the place Tim fre
quented and attempted alone to break
it up. But Tim could not be reformed
and the saloon kept open door.
Five months ago Tim left home and
has not been heard from since. The
mother does not know whether he is
alive. Two months later Bridget and
her babies were in such desperate straits
that the Children's Society was forced
to take charge of Pat. 5 years; Tim, Jr.,
3 years, and little Nan, 4 years. The
mother secured work in a laundry, but
she never got her children back. Ac
cording to the police she is not fit to
keep them.
In her extremity she dressed the
youngest baby in a little white dress,
put it in a basket and visited' the sa
loon. Three-quarters of an hour after
reaching home she yearned so for her
baby that she sent a little neighbor girl
to fetch it. The girl returned, saying
that the baby had been taken to Belle
vue hospital by a policeman.
The mother hastened to the "East
Thirty-fifth street saloon and asked for
her baby. She was told tnat sne couia
r.ot have ft Then the police were com
pelled to arrest her on a charge of
abandonment.
MIND LONG JF0GGY CLEARS

Himself After 12 Years.
NEW YORK. May 13. The mystery
of the disappearance of J. Foster Jen

Yonkers. who had been missing from
home since April 7, was cleared up by
a letter to his wife from Jenkins him
self, in which he said he was in Cin

Twelve years ago Jenkins suffered
an attack of amnesia, and it is sup
posed the affliction came upon him

SUTTON'S BAT, Mich.. May 16. Aa
soon as the roada are fit for foot travel
the Chippewa women will come from
thpir homes, brimrtne in wondrous cre
ations in basketry and quill work.
Throughout the Winter the women
spend their days and evenings working
on their basketry.
It takes practically a year to gather.
prepare and weave baskets. From one
Spring- to another the Chippewa woman
is gathering- sweet (trans, basswood
bark, black ash, hedgehog quills and
white birch bark for her work, some
times having to go miles into the woods
to peel the bark, slay the hedgehog or
gather the grasses from some wayside
creek.
The sweet grass, which is a wild fra
grant reed grass and grows on the
banks of creeks and ponds, ts gathered
in the Fall. Before It can be woven or
sewed into baskets, tt has to be rolled
across the hot surface of a stove. When
It has been sufficiently rolled about and
absorbed enough heat to make it suit
able for- her purposes, the woman ties
a knot in one end and hangs it head
downward upon a nail on the outside
wall of her house or hooka it over a
tree branch in the sun. This grass has
been used by the Chippewa and Ottawa
Indians for generations, and, although
some commercial basket manufacturers
have begun its use, their wares do not
have the wearing quality of those made
by the Michigan Chippewa basket
weavers, because it is not dried by hand
and thus loses its flexibility.
Other work done by these Chippewa
Indian women is of white birch bark
curiously embroidered and embellished
with hedgehog quills. These receptacles
are trimmed with bands of sweet grass
and tasseled off with a fiber made of
basswood bark. This fiber, which re
sembles coarse yarn, is made by boiling
the bark until of the right consistency,
then drawing it through a hole In a
bone or stone until It is twisted into
strands. It Is then dried in the sun and
when dried is ready for braiding or
for whatever purpose it is to be put.

Black ash is the wood material used
for basketry. This ash Is first pounded
with a dull implement until it begins to
split. A heavy knife is then run under
the strips, carefully removing them in
the desired widths. When they are
needed they are first laid in a bucket of
warm water, which softens them so they
can be woven without breaking. Her
hedgehog quills are dampened by plac
ing them in a basin of warm water
while she is working. Her bark she
puts Into a warm oven. Frequently she
finds misty weather suitable to basket
weaving and takes her materials out
doors, sitting on the ground as she
works. Several of her neighbors will
bring their work into her yard and the
three or four of them chat while they
weave, ignoring tho mists entirely.

come to America, where every one Is
so big and great and polite, to insult
