PORTLANDERSBAGK,
CLOSER RELATIONS SOUGHT
Opinions Are That Railway Connec
tion. With Coast Region Is
Creating Opportunity That
Should Be utilized.
"It was an Interesting, instructive
and enjoyable trip." is the general ver
dict of the Portland people who re
turned yesterday from the railroad
celebration at Coos Bay.
And let the accent be placed on the
word "enjoyable." The Coos Bay peo
ple certainly know how to entertain
their guests, say the Portland folks.
Many traveled excursionists declare it
the most enjoyable trip of., the kind
ever made out of Portland. The rea
son, doubtless, that everyone is so well
satisfied is because it was solely and
exclusively a pleasure trip to start
with. The Portland party went to have
a good time, and- they had it.
Coos Resources Amaze.
And most of them came home a whole
lot wiser than when they went. The
trip in many respects was a revela
tion. Few Fortlanders had a correct
idea of the extent fc-ud volume of the
resources of the Coos Bay country.
Little did they kn. w that the cities
and towns over there possess all the
modern, improvements and conveni
ences of a metropolis.
On the other hand, it might truly be
said, that the people of Coos Bay were
just as much surprised at the spirit
displayed by their Portland visitors.
It was an agreeable surprise to them
to learn that their guests were there
wholly for the purpose of joining with
them in their festivities and of wel
coming them into the great Oregon sis
terhood of cities which the absence of
direct rail connections heretofore has
made impossible.
Comments AH Enthusiastic.
The T rtland people were enthusi
astic iiA their praise of the Marshfield
people upon their return yesterday.
Following are some of the random
comments:
H. I Pittock In my more than 60
years' residence in Oregon I never
found such whole-hearted hospitality
In any community. I had frequently
heard of the spirit of good-fellowship
possessed and displayed by the Coos
Bay people, but my experience of the
last three days exceeded any previous
conceptions that ! had on the subject.
It is certain that our visit and the
completion of the railroad will result
in a perfect mutual understanding be
tween the people of the Coos Bay re
gion and those of the rest of Oregon.
In this connection. I believe that Sa
lem, f ugene and other outside dele
gations will do much to bring about
closer relations. It will get Coos Bay
in the habit of thinking in the terpis
of Oregon and of associating with the
other Oregon towns, something that
has been difficult heretofore on ac
count of their comparative isolation.
I am sure that every visitor enjoyed
every minute of the time there, and 1
hope that some of those pleasures are
mutual with the Coos Bay people.
Mutual Advantages Shown.
O. M. Clarke, president of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce It was a
very interesting trip, and a most profit
able one. I use the term profitable,
not in any commercial way, for we
didn't go in the quest of trade, but it
was profitable in an educational sense.
We all learned what a wonderful
country they have back of Coos Bay.
If Portland can turn in now and help
to develop that country it will b
mutually advantageous, I am sure.
C. C. . Colt, president Union Meat
Company and ex-president Chamber of
Commerce It was one of the most
beneficial trips to me, personally, that
I ever took. I enjoyed every minute
of it, too. Portland and Coos Bay no
doubt have learned that they have
much in common, and doubtless will
work together in the future.
I am sure that everyone in Coos
Bay is exceptionally well pleased with
the effort that Portland has made to
display her interest in that region.
Now, if Portland ever wants to de
velop better trade relations with Coos
Bay, Portland should open a market
for the Coos Bay Products, as well as
try to find a market in Coos Bay for
her products.
Excursion Complete Success.
J. L. Bowman, manager Brownsville
Woolen. Mill Store and chairman of
excursion committee From every point
of view the excursion was a complete
success. I know that everyone in our
party enjoyed it, and am quite sure
that the people of Coos Bay enjoyed
it. I hope, now that the railroad is
completed, there will be more Inter-

course between Coos Bay and the rest
of Oregon.
A. H. Averill, ex-president Chamber
of Commerce and president Averill
Machinery Company The excursion
vindicated my belief that the Coos Bay
people are eager to establish closer
relations with Portland, and that the
Coos Bay country is one of the most
promising regions on the Pacific Coast.
Walter K. Louis, of the Tru-Blu
Biscuit Company It was my first trip
of the kind since coming to Portland.
My experiences made a profound im
pression on me. Actually. I never met
with such hospitality anywhere, and
I have been over the country a great
deal. Why, the people welcomed us as
if we were guests going to their own
homes. Even the women and children
tried to make us feel at home. It
made a person glad to get away from
the sordid maneuvering of the com
mercial world. For, surely, there was
nothing commerical about the way
those people handled their guests. I
shall never forget it.
Guests Shown Good Time.
John B. Yeon. Multnomah County
roadmaster Those people certainly
know how to show their guests a good
time. It s too bad that more Portland
residents couldn t have been there.
It. W. Schmeer, cashier United States
National Bank It was a most satisfac
tory trip and will do a world of good
for Portland and Coos Bay.
Frank E. Smith, chamber of com
merce director There never was an
other trip like it in my knowledge of
Portland. The Coos Bay folk certainly
are hustlers. They had a celebration
that would be a credit to a town of
100.000 people.
C. F. Berg No use to say that I en
joyed iti Everyone enjoyed it, and it
would be a waste of words to say so,
but there fa one lesson that I learned
on this trip: We all went down there
and told those people what a fine coun
try they have, and then come home and
knock our own town and country. We
ought to apply to our Interests the
same optimism and enthusiasm that
we apply to others.
Country Fine. Cities Progressive.
Arthur O. Jones, assistant cashier
First National Bank It was splendid
You can't say too much fn praise of
the Coos Bay country and the people
over there.
E. G. Crawford, preident Lumber-
mens National Bank They surely, have
a fine country and some progressive
cities. I hope that our visit will re
sult in mutual benefits.-
Dean Vincent, head of Royal Rosarl
ans If the Coos Bay people enjoyed It
as much as we did, ttiey are well repaid
for their errorts.
Edgar H. Seneenlch, cashier North
western National Bank It was a most
satisfactory experience in every way. I
O. M. Plummer, Union Stockyards ?I
guess I can say "I told you so." . I had
been there before and knew exactly
what the Coos Bay people - could ' do.
And they did it.

versity, have been the guests this

stern, of the faculty of Hebrew Union
Moore Bates, of the law school of the
University of Michigan; Dr. Robert
Sheppard, of Whitworth College; Dr.
Louise Fargo Brown, dean of women
of Nevada University, and Dr. Fay
Cluff Brown, of the University of Iowa.
Professor and Mrs. Parker, of Har
vard University, were the guests on

B. Torrey.
Dr. William Conger Morgan, pro
fessor of chemistry, will speak on the

Chautauqua at the Armory in Portland.
F0RD-FRARY TRIAL IS SET
Conple Extradited on Forgery Alle
gation to Be Tried September 12.
Hearing of Bennett Thomp
son to Be at Hillsboro.
September will be a busy month for
the courts of Multnomah County. For
a month past there has not been a Jury
triai in the Circuit Court. For a month
prior the trials were infrequent. There
was plenty of work, but it was allowed
to accumulate for the Fall term.
The chief criminal trial scheduled
for next month is that of Homer N.
Ford and Elizabeth G. Frary. which
should come before Circuit Judge Davis
September 12. It cost the state more
than $1200 to extradite this pair from
Winnipeg. Canada, to face the charge of
forgery in Portland. Mrs. Caroline
Ford, who was married to Ford by a
notary public in Alaska during gold
rush days, stands to loose valuable
property signed away by her husband
and Miss Frary. who signed the deeds
"Elizabeth G. Ford." An important
issue In this trial is the legality of the
Alaskan marriage.
Thompson Trial Interests.
A criminal trial in which Multnomah
County will be vitally interested, but
which will not occupy the local courts,
will be that of Bennett Thompson, in
Hillsboro. September S. He is the man
held for the murder of Fred lUstman,
Portland jitneur, and Mrs. Helen Jen
nings, near Tualatin, May 15.
A libel suit of much interest in Mult
nomah County will be the $50,000 suit
of- George R. Mokel. recommended
postmaster for North Portland, ngainst
W. H. Lytle. state veterinarian. Mr.
Mokel alleges that a letter of Mr.
Lytle's, published at the time a fight
was being made against Mr. Mokel'a
appointment as postmaster, damaged
him to the amount of $50,000. This case
will be tried before a Jury in the court
of Judge McGinn on September 16.
A case which may come to an issue
this next month is the Santl&m Fruit
Colony scandal. The suit is brought
against J. B. Dlckover. former presi
dent of the colony. The answer accuses
George E. Wightman. now head of the
colony, with instigating the action to
cover his own mismanagement. More
than $30,000 is alleged to have disap
peared. Embody Divorce May Be Tried.
As for sensational divorce cases. Sep
tember may see the trial, if the prelim
inary matters are adjusted soon, of the
suit of Lillian Embody against C. W.
Embody, a. Portland timberman with
holdings in Eastern Oregon lands val
ued at nearly $100,000. Alimony or
$750 a month is asked by Mrs. Embody,
who alleges that her husband desires
to be rid of her that he may marry her
niece. Miss Helen Clark. In his answer
Mr. Embody charges his wife with in
discretions, and accuses Dr. Felix Leng
feld. a San Francisco chemist, reputed
to be worth $250,000, of being his wife's
affinity.
The month would not be complete
without a land-grant suit. There is a
chance that the $144,932.50 suit against
the Oregon & California Railroad, in
volving the purchase of railroad lands,
may come to trial in September.
Commissioner Daly's taxicab ordi
nance will be under fire in proceedings
to restrain its enforcement in Septem
ber. Mrs. Carl Brown may face her ac
cusers this month on the, charge of try
ing to defraud other children out of
their share of the $60,000 estate of the
late Helen A. Young-.
The list would be quite complete with
an alienation of affections action. There
is a chance that the $50,000 suit of Mrs.
Iva M. Whiting against Mary Merges
for the alienation of the affections of
Dr. Sanford Whiting may come to trial
this next month.

AUTO DROPS RIVER
Heavily-Loaded Truck Plunges
From St. Johns Ferry.
DRIVER BARELY ESCAPES
Motor Vehicle and Slabwood Ue In
5 Feet of Water, After Car -Gets
Beyond Control and
Snaps Guard . Chain.
A heavy auto truck,-valued at J1400,
is imbedded in the river, bottom be
neath 35 feet of water, at the west Blip
of the St. Johns ferry. ' Laden with
slabwood, the truck snapped the guard
chain on the ferry Saturday afternoon
and lunged into the Willamette. The
driver sprang from his seat as the chain
gave way.
The truck was driven by Manuel
Weiser, son of M. J. W'elser. of the Na
tional Fuel Company, at Oregon and
Second' streets. It was owned by the
Gerlinger Motor Car Company and had
been loaned to the National Fuel Com
pany while a truck purchased by them
was in transit.
Two trips had been made to the ferry
and across the river by Weiser without
accident. On the third, at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon", with a full load of slab
wood, he ran the truck on the ferry
boat, with the engine running, in low
gear, and with the foot brake on.
Thinking that he would not be per
mitted to stop the truck near the cen
ter of the boat, Weiser drove it slowly
on until within 18 feet of the forward
guard chain. There he stopped his en
gine and released the foot brake. Still
the car moved forward. Hastily he
threw the foot brake on again, but was
unable to check the steady progress.
The emergency brake was not released
at any time, he says.
When the truck struck the guard
chain Weiser ' thought that it would
stop, as it was barely moving. The
chain snapped . and the front wheels
dipped for the water. Not until then
did the driver relax his efforts. He
jumped from the truck just as it slipped
from the boat. .
Although he has been driving trucks
for a short time only, Weiser is confi
dent that he did all in his power to
prevent the accident, and declares that,
when the truck is raised the condition
of the gear and brakes will bear out
his report. The brakes had given
trouble before, he said.
The heavy machine will probably be
lifted from the river today. It Is pro
posed to send down a diver, who will
pass tackle about It, after which it
will be llued by a steamer equipped
with a boom derrick.
5000 AT WOODMEN PICNIC
Neophytes Ride Real I,Ive Goats and
"Leans" Win Ball Game.
The crowd which attended the even
ing's festivities, of the Woodmen's
picnic Saturday at Columbia Park has
been variously estimated up to SOOO.
and the events, particularly the initia
tion, were heartily enjoyed. The rid
ing of the real live goat heightened
the thrill by several degrees, since the
neophytes were put through in sen
sational style.
The ball game between the lean men
and the fat men was decided in favor
of , the former, and proved the disad
vantage of obesity. The pillow fight
between the Bear Cats and the Pole
Cats was won by the Bear Cat. A
tug of war between two seven-man
teams, the Alberta and the Oregon Fir,
was won by the former.
The officers taking part in the In
itiation were as follows: Sol Rictaan
baih, venerable consul; A. L. Edwards,
adviser: John Vollmer, past consul;
Charles Meadows, banker; J. W. Sim
mons, escort; D. M. Turtledove,
watcher; M. E. McN'amara, sentry.
