Newspaper Page TextTHE MORXIN'G OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, SETTE3IBER 5, 1910. 13 NORTHWEST NEEDS FAR m L OAN RANK This Will Be Contention Made by Portland Men Working for Local Unit. FARMERS ASKED TO COME Board Will Bo Told at Hearing That tbe Pacific Northwest Has Needs Distinct From California. FARMERS IirVTTEr TO ATTEJTD LOAN-HANK HEARING. Farmers of Oregon, are being nrged emphatically by the com mittee on presentation of Port land's claim for the location of . Federal farm loan bank here to attend the hearing before the Federal Commission In the Fed eral building here Thursday. Sep tember 7, -which begins Its hear ing at 9 o'clock In the morning. that the strike -has bean -called off. however, a general improvement Is an ticipated. Some of the hotels noticed a general Increase yesterday. Indicating confidence in travel conditions. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Stearns arrived in Portland yesterday by automobile from Oakland and are staying et the im perial. They made the trip by Eastern Oregon, crossing over through the Mackenzie pass and coming by way of Bend and the Columbia River Highway. They were drenched by rain on the last part of the trip. T UiibV.. T J 1. n delegate to the conference in the East relative to tne proposed train struts, arrived In Portland yesterday. He Is at the Imperial. Three generations are represented by a party of tourists from Philadelphia registered at the Benson. The party includes Howard Butcher,' Howard Butcher, Jr., and Howard Butcher III. CIRCUS FAME IS WON SWISS PEASANT GIRJC BECOMES NOTED RIDER. Portland's campaign for one of the 12 farm loan banks to be established by the Federal Government probably will be based on the contention that the Pacific Northwest should be placed In-a district by Itself. The Federal Farm Loan Board, which will conduct a hearing In Port land on Thursday, will be advised that conditions in the Northwest are so dis similar to the conditions in California that it will be decidedly inpracticable to group the Northwestern states with their southern neighbor. The need for rural credits In Oregon, Washington and Idaho is so apparent, it is said, that little difficulty will be found in impressing the board with the district's need of a bank. The committee in charge of Port land's campaign consists of J. D. Brown, president of the Farmers' Union; C E. Bpence, master of the State Grange, and Hector MacPherson. of the Oregon Agricultural College. These men met informally yesterday and further outlined their plans. Farmers Asked to Attend. Members of the committee are eager to secure the presence of a large num ber of farmers who have had experience with high Interest rates in the past and who will be apt to borrow money from the proposed Government banks. The railroads are co-operating with the committee to encourage the farmers to attend the hearing. It is probable that some of them will be called aa wit nesses. C. C. Chapman, who has given much study to the rural credits problem, yes terday wrote personal letters to more than 260 masters of local Granges throughout Oregon and Washington vlting them to attend. When Frank R. Wilson, chief of the information bureau of the Farm Loan Board, was In Portland on Saturday, he explained that the board is desirous of hearing from farmers rather than from bankers. The banks are Intended primarily to benefit the farmers and posoibly will deprive the banks and mortgage com panies of some business that they now ' enjoy, although It Is predicted that the banks themselves as well as all other lines of business will benefit. The new system is designed to provide cheap loans for the farmers, which In turn will aid in settling up the land, Increas lng the number of families on the land and making the soil yield bigger re turns. Loan Associations Necessary. To utilize the system, it Is necessary for the borrowers to organize them selves into local farm loan associations, consisting of 10 or more farmers in each association. Those associations then petition the Federal Land Bank of their district and indicate the amount of the loans desired. The rate of Interest to be charged is not yet determined but it cannot under the law be more than 6 per cent, and it may be less. The loans may extend from five to 40 years at the option of the borrowers, and both interest and principal may be paid off In annual or semi-annual instalments or at the op tion of the borrower. No one farmer may borrow more than $10,000, nor less than S100. The bearings in Portland will be conducted in the Federal building be ginning at 9 o'clock Thursday morning It is Intended to conclude them In time so that members of the board may take a trip over the Columbia River High way before sundown. From Start fa Bumble Position Flor ence Bender Makes Way .to Stel lar Sawdust Honors. - She was born In a beautiful little hillside bungalow In faraway Switzer land in the month of July, exactly 26 Summers ago, and she has risen from a ' humble dancing girl and "object holder" In a little European one-ring circus to the enviable position of premier lady bareback rider of the world. Such is the brief life history of Miss Flora. Bender, the dainty little equestrienne who will appear in person in this city next Fri day when the Barnum & Bailey Great est Show on Earth comes to town for two performances. Since earliest infancy Miss Bender as been a member of the circus world, er family for generations back all having been performers of one kind or another, and her father and five broth- rs being members of a famous acro batic act which is still a feature in the music halls and circuses of Europe. With the exception of five brief years of schooling. Mies Bender has spent her ntlre Ufa amid circus surroundings. having entered the employ of a Conti nental show at the age of 14. For five years she appeared merely as a danc ing girl in the various ballet features and as an "object holder" in the ring. BILL PLEASES PASTAGES SHOW INCLUDES TWO HEADLINE ACTS. Jewish Comedian Has Fanny Horse and Alice Hamilton Is Clever Comedienne. There's a "coupla show-stoppers on this week's Pantages bllL To be abso lutely correct there's four, but one of the show-stoppers Is a lone little maid in an act by herself and the other three can be lumped as one show-stopper, for they occur in the headline act. Of the group. Max Bloom, an attenu ated comedian of Hebraic comedy and architecture, simply walks away with all events. He appears as "Abie," who owns a horse, and It is the horse and Able that make the fun. Abie has a marvelously natural street fight with a temperamental Irish lad. played in fine style by Johnny Gil- more. Another Interesting personage In this big headline act is Bob Har rfngton. The other top-notch number la Alice Hamilton, dainty and demure and an artist of exquisite taste. She appears as a little old-fashioned grandmother, quaintly garbed, and In a little trem bllng voice tells of the changes since the old days. Like a breath of sweet lavender Is her act and Its memory lingers long. A riot is Leonard and Anderson in "When Caesar Cs Her," a travesty ,on Roman life. Caesar, Maro Antony and a fascinating Cleopatra, hold forth In great comedy style and provoke gales of laughter. ban Maley and Mildred Woods offer feet flirtology, and attractive groups of dances with song and chatter. Open ing the bill is Von Cello, a foo.t juggler with a sense of comedy in his clever toes. The first run of the sensational film. "The Yellow Menace," is indica tive of intense and prolonged Interest. 4 4V 1 .. I Florence Bender. Dainty Equestrienne With Barnum & Bailey Circus. In this capacity, while holding paper paraphernalia used by the various riders of the ehow during their acts, the little Swiss girl formed her am bition to become a great equestrienne. Accordingly, she began to practice during the hours when the show was not exhibiting. Receiving encourage ment from the management she devel opened her. 'talent rapidly and when she was 19 years old she made her first appearance as a principal bareback rider at the Circus Schumann, in Frank fort, Germany. After a finishing course of a year in the small European cir cuses, an agent of the Barnum & Bailey show discovered her in .fans ana oi fered her a trial engagement In Amer lea. Her success in this country was almost Instantaneous and she is now the feature rider of the Barnum & Bailey circus.
