GR1TIGAND PROPHET
Ex-Representative in Ad Club
Speech Urges Portland to
. Develop Port..
KANSAN STILL PROGRESSIVE
Orator, as Critic, Declares City Has
Too Many Millionaires; as
Prophet, He Sees Wonderful
Future for Oregon.
Victor Murdock, the peppery ex-Representative
from Kansas and one of the
Progressive party leaders, spoke be
fore the Ad Club at the Benson Hotel
yesterday afternoon and here are some
of the significant things he eaid:
"I am still a Progressive and hope to
continue to be. About every standpat
ter I meet these days pretends to be
progressive.
"The plain, every-day folks of this
country are all right. They believe in
the country, in its democracy, and they
are ready to fight for it.
"The plain people have faith in the
business men and are ready to back
them along lines of honest endeavor;
their good faith ought to be recipro
cated. "Our flag is the people's flarf Kings
will die and dynasties -will pass, but
the people and their flag will endure.
1 hope, forever."
Mr. Murdock, who as a member of
Congress is generally given credit for
initiating the overthrow of Cannonism
in the House and for starting the pro
gressive movement, indulged in both
criticism and in prophecy. The big dining-room
was filled with representa
tive business men, who listened atten
tively to him. As a critic he declared:
Portland Declared Coast Belle.
"What Oregon needs is more adver
tising. In this respect California has
this state beaten a mile; so has Wash
ington. As much as you think of your
selves out here, there are a whole lot
of people in this country who never
heard of you.
"Without an attempt at flattery,
Portland Is the most beautiful city on
the Pacific Coast, but beauty doesn't
give supremacy. Develop your city as
a port. If your docks down on the
waterfront are held by a few individ
uals you are unfortunate.
"Everyone in Congress knows, that
the Oregon coast is one of the most
dangerous in the world. Protect your
coast. Congress ought to be goaded
into a complete fortification of the
Pacific Coast from Mexico to Canada.
"You have too many millionaires here.
You would be better off to have your
wealth better distributed."
This is Victor Murdock as a prophet:
"Somewhere on the Pacific Coast we
are' going to have a great seaport. It
will be either at Los Angeles, at San
Francisco at Portland, at Seattle or at
Grays Harbor. It might as .well be
Portland. You have all the advan
tages that any of the others have. But
you can't get it unless you go after it.
"The younger men in this room will
live to see the day when the United
States struggles with the other na
tions for the trade of the Orient.
"The present war will cause an
awakening in Europe. After the war
the United States, in a sense, will be
the old world. The Orient will be the
new world. The Pacific Coast, facing
the Orient, will command the trade
of the Far East.
Orator Gets Complimentary.
"China has 400,000,000 people, many
of whom have starved and shivered for
generations. The new China will de
mand food and clothing. We will have
the chance to supply them."
Mr. Murdock also interspersed his
speech with compliment. Some of it
may have been mere persiflage, but
other portions were plainly sincere.
For instance:
"The Columbia River is your great
est asset. Develop it. Use it. The
world's greatest seaports all are in
land. "Some of the most wonderful scenery
I evt-r saw includes the Three Sisters
and Crattr Lake. There is no more
verdant locality than Coos County.
"One of my best friends is Billy Sun
day. He also is the greatest living au
thority on heaven. It is. a compliment
to Oregon that this heavenly authority,
in choosing his earthly residence,
should have picked out . Hood River.
"As a Kansan, I, take as much pride
in Oregon as I do in Kansas. As an
American, I am interested in every
thing you do."
COLLEGE COMEDY WINNER
Xiumlrcils Attend Opening: Perform
ance at Oaks Park.
Hundreds of persons attended the
opening performance of "On the Cam
pus." at Oaks Park, yesterday. The
musical comedy 13 bright and full
of fun. dances and songs. Millionaire
sons, bookworms, eccentric professors
and college belles and beaux make up
an interesting cast.
Pretty Billy Bingham appears as
Winnie Prigley Smith, the rich man's
daughter and belle of the school. Ches
ter Anderson plays the plain good-looking
college favorite. Cash Knight cre
ates humor as the college pest, while
Wheeler Romig has the clownish part
of Professor Neverwaist. Ida De'Tel-
lem plays the role of Winnie's sister
and Mel Riely impersonates Prigley
Smith. Lillian Weaver is cast for the
chaperone.
A deluge of college fun and songs is
included in the comedy. All the old fa
vorite college songs are sung and
campus stunts and love affairs make
the comedy interesting and funny.
CITY'S REQUEST TO BE MET
Streetcar Company Agrees to Special
Tavins Maintenance.
In a letter to Commissioner Tieck
yesterday, the Portland Railway. Light
& Power Company agreed to maintain
the pavement two feet outside the rails
on the work that is now being done
in Eastmoreland, across the Southern
Pacific tracks. By the terms of its
franchise the streetcar company is
rompelled to maintain the paving at a
distance of but only one foot on either
side of the rail, but because the pres
ent ballast under the eight-Inch ties
has proved unsatisfactory to the city,
the railwav company agreed to the
city's request.
The pavement is situated on Bybee
avenue, from the east line of East
Twenty-second street to about 466 feet
east of the center line of the Southern
Pacific right of way.

These 11 men. together with the
presidents of whatever realty boards
are and will exist tnis year within the
jurisdiction of the association, are to
form the executive committee, in
which various administrative powers
have been vested by the constitution
of the organization.
Oratory Is Varied.
Easily the most exciting event of the
entire convention programme was the
speechmaking contest. William D.
Wheelwright, chairman of the Judges,
pointed out, as he announced the
awards, that so many of the orators
were worthy of the prizes that it was
exceedingly difficult to discriminate.
The other judges were James J1. Ew
ing, Hugh Hume, C. S. Jackson and
"Edgar B. Piper.
Every variety of oratory was dis
pensed. There was solemn argument.
Ilgure of speech, humor; there were
references to statistical fact after fact,
and two of the spellbinders, Vernon
Butler, a lad of only 14 birthdays, and
O. Z. Skinner, of Walla alia, even
resorted to poem speeches. The lone
woman competitor, Mrs. M. A. Johnson,
of Milwaukie, proved to be one of the
hits of the contest.
Clark R. Belknap, the winner of the
silver cup, won his first spurs as an
orator while a student at Willamette
University and he has since that time
exercised his silver tongue before the
courts of justice. He appeared on the
programme as the official representa
tive of the Warrenton Commercial
Club.
Word-Paintine Lavish.
'Warrenton stands at the mouth of
the second largest river in the United
States." began Mr. Belknap, in a clear
tone that at once stamped him as a
past-master in the art of elocution.
The Government engineers advise us
that the Columbia River at our point
will have a depth of 40 feet by Aug
ust 1."
He explained how freight can be
carried down grade to Warrenton with
far less locomotive energy than to
other points. He told of the industries
that have been established recently in
the territory around the mouth of the
river, and explained that the town of
Warrenton is within two miles of the
"largest ocean on earth."
Mr. Belknap was the 17th to speak,
Paul A. CoVgill drawing the names
from the cup at random as the contest
progressed in order to be fair with all.
Canity's Advantages Told.
M. J. Lee, winner of the second prize.
spoke in the 22d position. Mr. Lee is
an old-time real estate man of the
Canby community. He is the man who
promoted the railroad to Molalla, and
has been known as the father of irri
gation, in the Willamette Valley. Re
cently. he sold the water plant to the
municipality of Canby.
In his prize-winning address Mr. Lee
told of the world-surpassing potatoes,
apples, strawberries, melons, vegetables
and oats that are grown with little
effort in the little paradise about
Canby.
When O. H. Skotheim, Eugene's rep
resentative and the first speaker, com
pleted his eloquent tribute to the little
university city in Lane County, nearly
everyone present was willing to grant
him the silver cup instanter. He prob
ably surpassed the entire 26 orators for
employment of simile and he presented
facts that were convincing. He pictured
Eugene as the yueenland City of
Oregon with a superior geographical
location.
W. Cotton and other country places.
John Brown told the several hundred
spectators that Gresham has room for
the homes of all the millionaires in
the United States. He also told of the
fine roads that shore Gresham on
every hand, of the many medals that
have been won by Mr. Ruby's stock, and
of the Gresham cannery.
O. Z. Skinner used verse and rhyme
to tell of Walla Walla, which he

styled as the fairost or the fair. Wheat,
corn, oats, barley, alfalfa and the best
fruit ever tasted grew in the Walla
Walla Valley, he assured the realty
men.
The town of Waverly, Wash- was
verbally painted on the map by A. L.
Robinson. He related that Waverly has
a sugar factory, fine highways and that
it is surrounded by a territory rich in
mining and agricultural resources.
'One of the richest communities in
the Gem state of Idaho," is the way F.
W. Fitze describe Coeur d' Alone. "It
stands on the shores of the beautiful
lake bearing the same name and three
navigable rivers nearby reach out to
the largest body of white pine timber
in the world. My community is "one of
the richest mining districts in the
country, producing more lead than any
similar area in the world."
Grays Harbor Plants Big;.
Frank G. Jones, of Aberdeen, said
the payroll of the 22 lumber manufac
turing plants on Grays Harbor was
tremendous and that the three ship
building plants, which are now build
ing; eight ships, with contracts for 13
more, were- establishing a record for
the Pacific Coast.
dairying, timber and agriculture are.
the greatest blessings that have made
Montesano, Wash., worth living in, ex
plained J. E. Calder, who called his
home community the gateway to Grays
Harbor.
"Hurrah for Portland," yelled M.
Fitzmaurlce as he closed his speech
on Condon. He said he lived In the
biggest county in Oregon today and
that he often got lonesome operating in
4000 square miles of productive wheat
territory.
W. R. Weisel said that Kennewick.
Wash., is the farthest point up the
Columbia River that is readily navi
gable, and called ' it the best location
near the river unless that honor fell
to Astoria or Portland.
Hood River Applea Fined.
"Hood River and its apple was known
all over Europe and throughout the
civilized world before either Portland
or Oregon." said J. F. Batchelder. who
also made a strong point of scenery.
C M. Butler, of Southern Idaho, said
the natural resources of his community
were so rich and diversified that every-1
thing thrived well there, and his plump
14-year-old son who followed him bore
out his claim. Young Vernon Butler
got oft his poem on Stites, Idaho,
mighty well, and with just enough
gestures to prove hU complete calm
ness. "We sell land on any kind of terms,
and don't press the purchasers for pay
ment." declared George TV. Vogel, who
spoke for Rainier. A big payroll, water
and rail transportation facilities and
wonderful soil were given as Rainier's
good points. ,
"Newberg Is a good place for worn
out ministers." declared TV. E. White,
who told of the fine streets and roads,
the sawmill, creamery, loganberry and
cannery plants and of the great fruit
farms that abound on the fertile soil
about the city.
"Grand Ronde has plenty of timber,
plenty of sunshine, plenty of rain, good
roads and never-falling: crops," said
M. Peterson.
The great timber fields, the coal
beds, the wonderful scenery and the
splendid harbor of Coos Bay were
praised by Charles J. Bruschke, of
Marshfield.
"Jerome. Idaho, is the center of the
largest body of irrigated land in the
country," said the tall R. H. Traill of
that address. Grains, seeds of all kinds.
vegetables, alfalfa and clover were out
lined as Jerome's principal stocks in
trade.
Charles Kuhn was modest, yet insist
ent, in saying good things about
Hoqulam. The logging activities, the
good roads and the beach resorts of the
Grays Harbor country were his central
themes.
Idaho Irrigation Rivals.
"The sun shines 360 days every year
in American Falls. Idaho, declared J
F. Kosanke. "We have 11.000 miles of
irrigation ditches and potato crops
and power plants that rival any place
"Klickitat County. Wash., has the
best dirt roads on the Pacific Coast,1
claimed TV. Scott Coe. of White Sal
mon. He told of the scenery of Trout
Lake, at the base of Mount Adams, and
explained that White Salmon may be
reached via the Columbia River High
way by ferrying across the river at
Hood River.
John 11. Scott praised the civic cen
ter plan of Salem. He told of broad
streets, lawns, homes and schools.
canneries and mills and of fruit and
grain crops, raised on land- that was
not held at too high figures.
"Astoria, the oldest and yet the
youngest city in the Northwest, has
everything that' any of these other
towns have and more, too," said George
M. Hyland.
Mrs. M. J. Johnson said that the old
pioneer town of Milwaukie would no
take off its hat to any city in the
Northwest. She told of the prizes that
have been won by Milwaukie fruit.
vegetables and babies.
Molalla's Soil Fertile.
W. - A. Beck, of Molalla, dwelt upon
the beauties of nature which bless th
Molalla Valley -and gave adequate
credit for Molalla's greatness to th
fertility of its soil and to the sterling
qualities of its educational institu
tions.
At the early session of the conven
tion yesterday the report of the resolu
tions committee was adopted unan
imously.
At the instance of -Frederick H
Strong a resolution was passed pledg
ing support to the Daughters of th
American Revolution in their presen
efforts to assist the needy families of
soldiers who are now at the border.
The members also pledged themselves
to use every effort to obtain exclusiv
contracts. On motion of TV. A. Beck
the matter of perfecting uniform list
ins agreements was referred to the
executive committee of the assoclatio
for consideration.
CHOICE OF CITY POSTPONED
Realty 3Ien Require Assurance of
Successful Convention.
The executive committee of the new
Interstate Realty Association decided at
a meeting in President Taylor's office
last night not to pick the city that is
to entertain the 1917 convention until
the regular biennial executive commit
tee meeting which will be called prob
ably in October in Portland.
Before the convention city is chosen
it must produce a permanent realty
board organization and give substan
tial guarantee that it will back th
convention with sufficient force to
make it a complete success.
There was a strong sentiment amon
the association's officers last night i
favor of Aberdeen, and there is every
likelihood that the 1917 meeting will
be held there, or in some other Gray
Harbor city. Boise. Idaho, has already
put in a bid for the 191$ meeting.
By meeting on Gray's Harbor the of
ficials of the new Northwest associa
tion hope to attract the members of
the present Washington State associa
tion, which embraces only the large
cities. The plan is to have the Wash
ington organization merge with th
interstate body. A committee of th
interstate body will confer with th
vt aen ington association in the sea
future.

Aim of Organization.
The last step in the permanent or
ganization work of the Portland Coun
cil of America was taken ata luncheon
held at the Benson Hotel yesterday.
The permanent executive committee
was appointed with C. H. Davie. Jr., as
chairman. Other members of the com
mittee are: H. D. Angell. C. D. Brunn.
George L. Baker. J. C. English. A. J.

Charles Berg was elected secretary.
Committees were appointed to select
the location for the offices or tne
council and to name a ecout executive.
It is expected to decide these two ques
tions at an early date and- to conduct
an aggressive campaign for the ex
tension of the work among the boys
of Portland.

The officers of the council who at
tended the meeting were: TV. W. Cot

Wolfe, vlce-preeidents, and J. K. Gill.
reasurer. Talks were given by all of
these men on the importance of the
scout work in the development of the
boys of the city along citizenship lines.
H. D. Cross, National field scout com
missioner, reported that $3500 of the
5000 budget for the first year's work
had been subscribed. He reported that
the spirit of interest and co-operation
n the part of the citizens interviewed
was most encouraging and expressed
the opinion that the remainder of the
money would be forthcoming during
the present week.
"With the strong organization effect
ed and the ready financial response.
the Portland scout work should take
its place in the very Vront rank of the
rganized cities of the country," said
Mr. Cross. "Every cent invested by citi-
ens will go directly into the work for
he boys and none into equipment or
uildlng. The scout work uses the
equipment already here and will co
perate with every existing agency
now working for boys. The budget
adopted will provide for the supervi
ion of 4000 boys. "
200,000 Boya Knrolled.
The Portland council just organized
for the promotion of the Boy Scout
work was shown to be under charter
from the National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America, and not in any way
connected with the United States Boy
Scouts. The former organization is
ncorporated by act of Congress ami
has enrolled 200,000 boys.
The purpose of the. Boy Scouts ot
America is primarily that of character
development through a very definite
programme of healthful outdoor ac
tivities. That of the United States
Boy Scouts is primarily military and
proposes to teach boys of the ages of
12 to 18 along definite military lines,
said Mr. Cross.

S. B. Huston Sueaests Governor AYtthy-

Governor Withycombe has been
asked by S. B. Huston, of Portland, to
see what action would be necessary to
make it practicable for the state to
pay to the Oregon National Guardsmen,
now on the border, the money owing
to tnem from the state for the time
they were called out until they were
mustered into the Federal service. Mr.
Huston in a letter to Governor Withy
combe yesterday pointed out that the
boys would appreciate the $7 to $1
due them from the state pending the
Federal payday. His letter follows:
It appears that our Oregon soldiers
on the border are financially embar
rassed and have no money with which
to buy the little necessaries of life.
which are not supplied by the Govern
ment. 'Funds are being raised by subscrip
tion to help out until payday. Most of
these soldiers have from 17 to 12 due
them from the state of Oregon on ac
count of their pay between the time
they were called out and the time they
were mustered in by the Government.
'Can you not as Governor, make ar
rangements to have this money for

ABERDEEN, Wash.. July 18. (Spe
cial.) "If one would see the horror of
horrors he should be rresent at the
arrival or a hospital ship in Mel
bourne." says J. A. Fraser. Aberdeen
logger, who has just returned from two
years passed in Australia. "These ships
arrive about every two weeks with.
their cargo of maimed soldiers," ho
continued. "Some have no legs, others
no arms, many are blind and a few
have parts of their faces shot away. I
have talked with many of these sol
diers and most of them cavi tell stories
horrible as that of sleeping upon
dead men in the trenches."
One of the most interesting sights
near Melbourne. yr. Fraser says, is
the prison camp, where 20,000 Germans
are held under guard. Among these is
"Kid" Glow, former Aberdeen boxer
and a member of the Moose Ixxige
here. Fraser talked with Glow -and
says the boxer is entirely satisfied
with his life, because the Australians
treat them well.
Crippled Soldiers (in Bark.
Soldiers with their left hands gone
are sent back to the trenches, the pol
icy being to keep men fighting as long
as they can pull a trigger. He tells of
one man whose left hand was partly
missing being sent back to the front-
'That fellow didn t want, to go." said
Mr. Fraser. "He told me he was going -to
get out of fighting again if he could.
"Women, cripples, boys and ole men
all unite in trying to get a man -.o en
list. If 1 was asked once I was asked
dozen times to "do my bit." About
once every month a recruiting cam
paign Is started. The bands play, the
soldiers parade and the women try to
get the eligible men into a recruiting
omce. Button days also are con
ducted, the women selling buttons at
25 cents each to swell their Red Cross
fund. A fellow that won't enlist is
called a 'rotter.' "
Men In Australia Scarce.
Mr. Fraser speaks of the girls of the
country as being "soldier struck' and
says that it is reported that there now
are 10 women in Australia to every
man. Often, he says, girls will some
how get a uniform and gun and man
age to get aboard the transport ships,
onlv to be sent back home when their
sex is found out.
Male labor is rather scarce and JI 60
for eight hours of common labor is the
scale. Most of the factories have been
turned into munition works for turn
ing out small-sixed guns and ammuni
tion or into factories for the manufac
ture of bandages. The women are not
taking over as much of the men's labor
as in other of the warring countries, al
though they have gone so far as to
become drivers of double-deck automo
bile buses.
