THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 11. 1915. OREGON EXHIBITS TAKE ON NEW LIFE Influx of Settlers Expected as Direct Result of Show ing at Exposition. BEHOLDERS ARE AMAZED PRIMA DONNA WHO HAS MADE FORTUNE IN WALL STREET "WARl California Itself Fertile Field for Propaganda ; Great Variety of Acceptable Products Arc 'ow Being: Received. BY ANNE SHANNON MONROE. ORKGON EXPOSITION BCILING, Pan Francisco, Oct. 7. These are days of brf ghtenin? up and transformations at the Oregon building and the Oregon exhibits in the palaces. The appeals for fruits, vegetables, grains nrwi grasses have had their effect. Most of the new material is of fine quality, and the moral effect on the representatives here la such that they are full of pride and enthusiasm and are putting in their best licks in the effort to "land tome of the inquiring Easterners In Oregon. One of the quiet, but persist ent, workers among these said to me the other day: "I really believe we are going to de rive much present benefit from our ef forts here. I am confident that I sent three families to Oregon last week three families that fully expected to land in California, They were amazed nt our showing of products and equally amazed at the figures on land I was able to give them. Caltfornians Good Prow petes. 'They were sent to specific places, and 1 feel sure that even reasonable effort on the part of real estate men in those communities will place them in Oregon. I believe I have landed others, and among the visitors at this time there are many excellent pros pects. Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa farmers and some Texans are here in increasing numbers, byt I believe our best prospects are among the Califor nians themselves Middle West farmers who have come to this state and tailed to find what they were looking for. They are going to go somewhere, and Oregon is making a great hit with them.' I hear much the same atory from other workers hre, and there is gen eral confidence that the next year or two will find many f the present vis itors at the fair looking for specific locations in Oregon. Perhaps the largest consignment re ceived recently comes from the Wil lamette Valley, the Lane County Fair and the Willamette Valley -Counties Association shipping a great variety of acceptable products. Marvin Kelso, of Irving, has his name on squash and pumpkins weighing 100 pounds and" his popcorn is good to look at. There are "beautiful potatoes and other products from John Maughan, C. Baker and Charles Lettom, of Eugene; grain in the sheaf from IT. C. Wheeler, of Pleas ant Hill; quinces from I -H. Elspass, and 10 boxes of apples and pears from Secretary Bynon, at Salem-- Repre sentatives Warren, Taylor and Duns more have practically rebuilt one sec tion of the Willamette booth. Jack on County Sends Spltzenberga. 11. O. Frobach, Jackson County's ex pert, is making great noises about hav ing received the first shipment of Spitzenherg apples and they certainly are beautiful to look upon. Six boxes or Grants Pass grapes, just put up, are fully the equal of anything In the Call fornla building at this time, and for qualitv are the suoerior. having a bet ter sugar content and much better color. These are Tokays and Malagas and come from A. H. Carson & Son's "Redland Vineyards, Grants Pass. C. R, Boyd, of Gold Hill, has cent in his fifth shipment of Cornice pears, and there are Newtown apples from Henry Hart, of Medford; Bosc pears from Albert Johnson, of Ashland. and Salway peach sent by A. N. Wright, of Med ford. - Baker County has just come forward with some of the finest grains and grasses yet sent down from Oregon, Malheur has new corn on display that makes even the Iowans sit up and take not ice. A squash from that county lakes up a space three feet eight inches long by 27 inches wide, and nice display of honey in the comb adds further to the Eastern Oregon display. Of two cabbages from Wallowa Coun ty- the larger weighs 34 pouads tand trie omer out sugntiy less. Wool Makes Fine Showing. A most attractive display just now opened for inspection is a case filled with Umatilla wool in all stages. Indi vidual fleeces weigh from b to fl pounds, these being shown by L. Mc- Tonald. J. E. Smith Livestock Com pany. C. M. Mathews, Kenneth J. War nor. E. Fedra. O. Jones, Fonald Boss, the I'matilla Company and the Pendle ton Woolen Mills. L. McDonald shows an eight-pound graded fleece that brought the highest price paid for wool in Oregon. An exhibit is coming from Douglas County, which has made no showing up to this timel Secretary Josephson, of the Roseburg Commercial Club, writes that a two-ton showing of grains, g ras.es and fruits will arrive here within a day or two. i Photo Copy right by Underwood & Underwood. MME. ALDA. . ALDA PLAYS IN LUCK Singer Wins Fortune, in Wall .Street in Five Days. 'KEEP OUT," SHE ADVISES week because of the excellent weather and the fright caused when gales blew many apples from the trees, the move ment of fruit to market has been far slower than in ordinary years. Indi cations point to heavy storage of apples at local terminals. Up to yesterday the Apple Growers Association had shipped but 50 carloads of apples, whereas in former years the fruit has moved out almost as rapidly as re ceived at the warehouses. The depression caused by offers of independents is being overcome. Prima Donna's Good Friend Is on Inside, but She Soys Other Women Should Not Risk Money in -Stock Speculation. XEW YORK, Oct. 1. "Keep clear of Wall Street" is Mme. Frances Alda's advice to women. This counsel has the rare quality of disinterestedness, for the fair prima donna of the Metropoli tan Opera Houee has only recently won fortune in that .same Wall Street in five days. Starting with the proverbial "shoe string' she saw her investment go soaring sky high and then, figuring that she had enough, "cashed in." She speculated in "war stocks, it is said. A good friend gave her an "inside tip" that proved to be the real thing. and she pressed her luck. Even then she was cautious and when she saw good profit to her credit she with drew half of it and let the other half remain. This "velvet" went on mak ing money fcr her. It is said that she won a fortune. The exact amount she will not tell. However, Mme. Alda said today that for "women to invest in Wall Street is a mistake and it shouldn't be done." "With me, of course," she added, "it is different. The friend who gave me the tip is so much in the 'know' that I could not have gone far wrong in my speculation. The times one wins stand out bright and rosy, but the. first thing one knows the money invested goes 'pouf,' just like that, and then where are you?" "I work too hard for my money," continued the singer who receives more for -one performance than many earn by a year of toil, "to take real risks with it. Tell women to keep clear of Wall Street. I should not like to feel that my little venture had led any one to speculate with money she could not afford to lose."

Father George Schoener. of Brooks, the "Luther Burbank of Oregon" is penniless and homeless as the result of a fire which destroyed his house and the church Saturday night. A letter from Father Schoener was received by J. A. Currey telling of the catastrophe, and asking him if he could not inter est some friends in measures for relief. Practically all the results of his five years of experimentation and labor on breeding of new varieties of flow ers and fruits were wiped out in the fire, for his best experimental gardens were close to the house and the church. One of the plants on which he was working and which he hoped to give to the public next season, was a fra grant gladiolus. Two million seeds which he had saved in his .experiments in this line were lost in the fire. Also there were lost 120,000 rose seeds, rep resenting 15.000 different crossings of rare plants in the past season. The cross between the apple and the rose, which was one of his proudest achievements, was also destroyed. It is thought that a portion of his col lection of new varieties of roses, which was planted some distance from the: buildings, was uninjured. Father Schoener has been sought by Santa Barbara and other California cities to come and settle and continue his experiments, so that they might reap the credit and prestige resulting from his discoveries. He has thus far declined these offers and efforts were being made to persuade him to re main in Oregon. The fire Saturday night, however. leaves him almost destitute, and it will be necessary lor him to make some move. Efforts are being made by the Chamber of Commerce to bring him to Portland. VANCOUVER. Wash., Oct. 10. (Spe cial.) Beginning Thursday, October 14 the round-trip fare between Vancouver and Portland will be 25 cents, a reduc tion of 5 oents. The reduction has been made volun tarily by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, but it is believed that this was done to combat the jitney competition, as there are numerous cars op'erating between the Hayden Island station and Portland, the fare charged being the same as the street car charges, 10 cents one way. It is not many years since the fare was 50 cents. Much Fruit Is Stored. HOOD RIVER. Or.. Oct. 10. (Spe clal.)

Traveling men and other so journers at tlie hotels said tonight tha they had found the law rather a help than otherwise, as it gave an oppor tunity to write letters and read up on the world news, instead of "polishing the mahogany" all day and getting nothing done in the way of work. Phantom Bar Does Business. Somewhere in the Desplaines Sta tion police district a "phantom bar1 turned out a large number of drunken men, but the police were unable to lo cate it. It was believed that this wa a plan by the liquor men to show that the law could be defied without danger of detection, and it worked out that way. Letters and telegrams, enough to fill an immense van, are awaiting the re turn of Mayor Thompson. Some con gratulate him on his courage. Many of them are from wives and children and some are from the liquor men, taunting the Mayor with breaking faith with them.

WAR TROPHIES EXHIBITED Paris Crowds See Captured Cannon Before Tomb of Napoleon. rmnnon, aero- Will Body That Attacked Borah Tor Favoring Suffrage Through State Action Oppose Wilson for Taking Same Position? OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Oct. 10. Elation was voiced oy officials of the Congressional Union when President Wilson declared his purpose, on October 19. to- vote for woman suffrage in New Jersey, not withstanding the President explicitly reiterated his oft-declared belief that the suffrage question "should be set tled by the states and not by the Na tional Government. This same Congressional Union, less than a month ago. announced its pur pose to fight Senator Borah of Idaho in his own state, and probably in the country at large, although his position on the suffrage question is identical with that now assumed by the Presi dent. Union's Policy Tun, The Congressional Union In 1914 car ried on an organized fight in Oregon against Senator Chamberlain. and worked to accomplish his defeat, in faoe of the fact that Senator Chamber lain favored suffrage in Oregon and had taken charge of the suffrage reso lution in the Senate and was one of the most outspoken advocates of suffrage amendment to the Federal Constitution. In that same campaign the Congressional Union opposed scores of other Democrats seeking re-elec tion, on the ground that the Democrat ic majority in Congress had refused to pass the suffrage resolution. What will be the attitude of the Congressional Union toward the Presi dent o: toward any other public man in December and what that attitude will be in the campaign of 1916, no man can predict. The Union has plunged ahead without a consistent policy, and with only the detinlte end of securing suffrage through a constitutional amendment rather than through indi vidual action of the states. - Knture Course Problematical. If precedent indicates anything, it means that the Congressional Union will again attack . the President. Whether It will be made is problem atical. The suffragists believe they will have enough votes to get their resolution through Congress. If their belief is well founded, the President must sign the resolution before it be comes effective. Will the Preslden sign it if it passes Senate and House'' will the sutfragists deem it wise to attack him when they later expect to appeal to him for his approval? The Congressional Union would be in a better position .to ask favors of the Presidant had its, leaders been less Auusi.e I" lilts , i; l - - PARIS, Oct. 10.
