END OF WAR ANTICIPATED
San Diego Fair Wilt Bring Thou
sands This Summer and Port
land Advertising Helps, De
clares Xew York Man.
Anticipating- a tremendous increase
of immigration from Europe after the
conflict there, as well as of tourists
this Summer to the Pacific Northwest,
1-.. H. Nutting, general passenger agent
of the Southern Pacific's Atlantic steam
ship lines from New York to New Or
leans, with headquarters in New York,
is in Portland on a sort of survey. He
Is accompanied by J. H. R. Parsons,
treneral passenger agent of the South
ern Pacjlic, with headquarters at Hous
ton, Tex., and Phil K. Gordon,, general
aifent of the Sunset Route lines at San
.Francisco.
"We are planning to handle the bulk
f this business via our steamship lines
on the Atlantic to New Orleans, thence
to Texas, California, Oregon, Wash
ington and contiguous states," said Mr.
Nutting.
"You understand, on account of the
war in Europe, American tourists found
last year that the Pacific Coast states
were ideal Summer resorts. Thousands
of them came out to see the Panama
fair and the fair at San Diego. They
Jiked it so well that many will come
again.
Advertising Yield Expected.
"We have figured that the advertis
ing alone which Oregon has recently
received by the campaign in the East
and Middle West of the color pictures
of and about the Columbia Highway,
which your Chamber of Commerce in
Portland backed, is going to yield great
returns in the shape of tourists this
Summer. While I did not have a chance
to see those pictures, I heard of them
and saw the Columbia Highway my
self. It is one of the biggest tourist
drawing assets I ever saw.
"While no one appears to be able
to guess when the war over the seas
will end, there seems to be a hope, at
least, for peace in the near future. In
view of that we are figuring that a
large volume of immigrant business
from the desolated lands will set in
through New York particularly. I left
New York the middle of March, have
made a trip over the Southern Pacific
system via New Orleans, meeting the
passenger men, ticket agents and the
like, with a view of facilitating the
Tramc when it does commence. The
Kan Diego fair this year will bring
thousands. The immigrants we expect
will find homes out here."
' M r. Gordon No Stranger.
Mr. Parsons had never before been
out to this part of the country. He
is accompanying Mr. Nutting so as to
familiarize himself with the Pacific
Northwest, and to see the lands, cities
and people. They picked up Mr. Gor
don at San Francisco. He is almost
an Oregonian, and is a Portlander' in
a way, for he owns property at Sixth
ar.d Stark streets, and has thought so
wtll of the investment that he has
never sold it. He bought the ground
and building there 10 years ago.
The visitors were entertained by
John Scott, general passenger agent of
the Southern Pacific, with headquarters
in Portland. The party took the loop
trip to McMinnville in the forenoon
on a special train, lunched at the Port-
nd, where they are stopping, and did
olumbia Highway and other points of
terest in -the arternoon.
Besides the guests the following
cal Southern Pacific passenger men
id ticket agents were along on the
renoon trip: C. W. Stinger, city

Car of o. Jones Wanders Down
Stark Street tnpllotrd and De
molishes Wagon of AorthTrestern
Electrical Company.
A Nunpiloted ramble of several blocks
XX was taken by an auto bearing
license No. 4761 in the small hours of
yesterday morning. Patrolmen Morris,
Tully and Collins found the machine
at the end of its erratic trip on the
sidewalk before the Independence Ice
Company's business place. 353 Stark
street.
The owner, O. Jones, 264 East Thirty
fifth street, said he left the car in front
of the Clyde Hotel at Tenth and Stark
streets.
Patrolman Collins traced the course
taken by the car on its impulsive
flight. Zig-zagging eastward from the
Tenth-street corner it rolled along
'down Stark street. A tool cart of the
Northwestern Electric Company ob
structed its path and the car charged
the barrier. The cart was upset, chang
ing the course of the car toward the
south curb. At the southwest corner
of West Park street it took to the
sidewalk on all four tires for a dis
tance of almost a block. Crossing Park
street it finally came to rest in the
middle of the block between Park street
and Broadway.
The car was but slightly damaged,
being uninjured save for twisted fend
ers and a bent bumper.

Civil Service Chairman Says
He Doesn't Intend to Quit
Over Sewer-Probe Row.
POSITION IS HONORARY ONE
Official Declares Montavilla Inves
tigation "Was Entirely Within
Bounds of Duty as Deter
mined by City Charter.
Not unless he is formally and offi
cially removed will George W. Caldwell
quit his post of chairman of the Mu
nicipal Civil Service Board, according
to announcement made yesterday, fol
lowing publication of rumors about
the City Hall that because of recent
troubles between him and members of
the City Council he might be asked to
resign. Mr. Caldwell says he was ap
pointed for a six-year term, and he ex
pects to stay. He will not resign.
The most recent tilt between Mr.
Caldwell rfLnd members of the Council
was over the case of Harry Gurr. a dis
charged sewer inspector, the hearing
of which case before Mr. Caldwell de
veloped into a general investigation of
alleged frauds in connection with the
recent construction of the Montavilla
trunk sewer.
Exceeding; Bounds Charged.
-Commissioner Dieck. City Attorney
LaRoche and others declare that Mr.
Caldwell went out of bounds In bring
ing these- matters into the Gurr case,
inasmuch as they had no direct connec
tion with the case. - ,
Mr. Caldwell sard the position of the
other officials was not correct. He said
Mr. LaRoche has always contended that
the Civil Service Board is limited
in its investigations to' determining
whether the viismissal. of an employe
was for religious or political reasons,
or if it was in good faith. Mr. Caldwell
said the only way to determine good
faith is to see whetherthe same rule
of action are being employed by Com
missioner Dieck against all employes
alike. He said he had evidence that
while Mr. Gurr was dismissed for ap
proving imperfect work, other Inspect
ors were excused when they let Inferior
work go through on the Montavilla job.
Position Is Stated.
"There is no other way to determine
good faith," said Mr. Caldwell yester
day. "I believe that in the investiga
tion I was entirely within bounds set
forth by the city charter," and that
there is no excuse for all this furore
about the investigation. Personally, 1
believe that I was right, and I have no
intention of giving up the position on
the Civil Service Board merely because
I may have walked on somebody's toes
In doing my sworn duty.
"I was appointed for a six-year term,
and I expect to serve the full six yearn
unless I am removed. The Mayor has
that power, but as long as I consider
myself to' be right I vlo not fear the
results of such a move.
"The position of Civil Service Com
missioner is merely an honorary posi
tion. There is no salary attached to
the office, and a great deal of time is
required to do the work. I took an
oath that I would do the work, and I
propose to do it strictly, regardless of
whom It hits." .

Plan Provides for Additional Units as
Gronrth of University Demands
More Class Rooms.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
April 2. (Special.) At the meeting of
the building committee of the board
of regents last night, the contract for
the new $40,000 educational building
was awarded to N. E. Hoover, of Al
bany, whose bid was between $30,000
and $31,000, definite figures not being
obtainable, due to alternatives in the
specifications. The building commit
tee is composed of A. C. Dixon and Ray
Goodrich. Speaking of the committee's
action last night, Mr. Dixon said:
"Of the 30 bids considered, it was
definitely determined that the bid of
Mr. Hoover was the lowest. Just what
the final figures will be depends on a
conference we will have with Mr.
Hoover next Tuesday night, when we
will determine certain construction
materials." - '
Only the plumbing contract remains
to be let. Trouble has arisen that will
be settled this week.
The new. $40, 000 structure will house
the educational school, the law school,
the law library and possibly a Junior
high school, where the students 1n edu
cation can gain practical experience in
teaching. The building will be .built
so that additional units can be added
as the necessity requires. It will be
located on the western edge of the
campus, with the ultimate end in view
of opening up a new building gap.
Construction work will start within
the next two weeks.

of Claude Baker occupying' his bed.
Deputy Coroner Smith, Police Cap
