18 THE MORNING OltEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 191G. FARMERS WANTED FOR BANK HEARING Railroads Make Special Rates to Attract Them to City Tomorrow. THEIR WORD MAY DECIDE Inquiry That Will Bo Held Here Will Determine Whether Port land W ill Get Farm Land j- Loan Bank. " That the largest possible attendance of farmers from all parts of Oregon may be at the hearing of the Federal Land Bank Board in Portland tomor row, the railroads have announced that they will allow fare and one-third rates, on a certificate plan, to the farmers who desire to come in for the hearing:. . Those who are coming: under these terms are instructed to get their ticket to Portland and to take a receipt upon Its purchase, which will make possible the claiming- of the one-third rate for return. The presentation of Oregon's case in the hearing has been placed In the hands of the strongest representation of experts that the committee has been able to organize, and no phase of the resources or needs of the Northwest which entitle it to the branch of the farm-loan bank will be slighted. Hearing: In Federal Court. The hearing will be held in the Fed eral courtroom, in the Postoffice build ing, and will begin at 9 o'clock tomor row morning, continuing until all the testimony has been brought in. The willingness of Portland to subscribe to the stock issue will not have so much bearing on the possible establishment of the bank here, according to Frank L. Wilson, who was here in advance of the commission, as the showing of Portland's capacity to absorb the bonds to be put up on each block of mort gages. It is emphatically asserted that the success of Portland's campaign for the bank will depend to a large extent also upon the evidence that the farmers show of their adherence to Portland as the place for the location of the branch. "The farmers of this region should, if in their power, attend theneeting of the Federal Land Bank Board, which is to be held in Portland September 7, starting at 9 o'clock in the morning," said J. D. Brown, president of the Farmers' Union, yesterday in referring to the important issue that is now pending in respect to the location of bank in the Pacific Northwest. "It is clear to all who are in touch with the purposes and plans of the Board that they are endeavoring to reach the agricultural Interests. We do not believe that they are going to place this bank so much with refer ence to the wealth, but with the idea of developing new country and new re sources which are . now struggling against serious handicaps. The evi dence of interest shown by the rural people in this project will naturally be a very great factor with the Board. This conclusion of the Board will be sound. If the people need such a bank they certainly will be sufficiently in terested to make a vigorous presenta tion and to present to the Board their arguments for this need. If they are not sufficiently interested to make a strong initial effort, the danger is that the Board will reach the conclusion that there is not a great demand. Farmers Urged to Come. "For these reasons I, as chairman of the committee that is gathering data that is to be put before the Board at its hearing here, and in conference with C. E. Spence. master of the State Grange, have appealed in every way that we can for the strongest possible attendance Jiere of the farmer inter ests. We would like to have not only the farmers who represent organiza tions, but individual farmers, come. If hundreds of them could assemble here It would be advantageous. But few will be called upon to present any evi dence as to the need of a bank, but if they filled the place where the meet ing is to be held to the very limit, and if, when called upon, they are ready with answers as to their need, it would help our cause tremendously. "I trust that everybody who is in terested in agricultural development of the state will use their Influence in their respective districts to have the farmers come to this meeting. We know it is a busy time. Many of the farmers have other problems on hand, but this issue is one of very great im portance and should be regarded an exception, warranting the farmers put ting themselves to great inconvenience to be on hand. 75 OWNERS REMONSTRATE Objections Are Slight Against Tax for Grade Crossing. Only 75 property owners in the lm mense district to be assessed for part of the cost of the O.-W. R. & N. Com pany's grade-crossing eliminations are represented in the remonstrances against the project. Time for filing objections expired last night. None of the 75 remonstrators is a large prop erty owner. The City Council at this morning's cession will hear the remonstrators if they wish to speak. It is expected a delegation will be on hand to protest. The assessment district takes in about 14,000 lots. It is said the 75 remon strators do not represent anywhere near 1000 lots.

A feature of the Labor day parade which escaped public notice was the fact that the firemen who participated in the procession were all union men. They were members of the Civil Serv ice Employes' Association, which is af filiated with the Central Labor Council. The Labor Council set out in the first place to make the parade a strict ly organized labor affair. To make the thing complete the fire officials in charge entered only the firemen who belonged to the civil service association. I. Political Veteran Calls. Dr. James A.

HO 2 ELEPHANTS ALIKE DARJTM TRAINER SAYS ANIMALS ARE NOT APPRECIATED. Hugh Creatarea Highly Valued and Useful j Menagerie Represent About 1,000,000 Outlay. No animal la so Intimately and affec tionately associated with the circus ai the elephant and probably none is more sagacious. With the Barnum circus, which comes here Friday, are more than a score of the ponderous crea tures, all in charge of Harry Mooney, the famous Australian animal trainer: To the uninitiated, the huge slate- colored beasts look the same. But Mooney says there are no two alike. Elephants are useful as well as orna mental in the circus world. If ever a heavy wagon gets caught in a quag' mire, as they frequently do, and the horses fail to pull it along the only thing necessary is to bring along an elephant or two and the results are certain. Mooney says that the worth of the elephant has never been fully appre ciated by the average American, nor even those who delve Into natural his tory. In India the beasts are largely used for pulling plows In ' the agri cultural districts where the antives won't exchange them for the modern machinery and they also form the backbone of all state and ceremonial processions. To the circus visitor the menagerie means strange animals and thrills, pop corn and peanuts. To the circus man agers it means something like $1,000,000 to reproduce such an animal collection as the Barnum show carries on tour. This figure, however, is by no means arbitrary, for the value of wild beasts fluctuates remarkably. Just at pres ent the supply is practically cut off, as Hamburg, the great animal mart of the world, is isolated. Rainier Schools Open. ' RAINIER. Or., Sept. 6. (Special.)

Organization of $23,000 Company Pro posed and Feature of Protection - Is Liked. The Jitney Drivers' Union has com petition 'in its application for a fran chise to operate Jitneys. S. Chaimov yesterday filed with members of the City Council a request for a blanket franchise covering the entire city. Mr. Chaimov wants the Council to grant him a franchise for a 25-year period. For the privilege during the first year he is willing to pay the same amount of revenue the city is getting now from the Jitneys. For the second, third, fourth . and flf th years he will increase the amount $500 a year and $1000 a year for each year up to the 10th. For the next seven and a hsrtf years he agrees to pay $10,000 and for the reRt of the time $12,000. He agrees If given, a franchise to Organize a com pany with a capital of $25,000 and to increase this to $100,000 within five years. It is probable the City Council will consider this application along with that of the union. The Chaimov ap plication is said to have some merits not seen in the union application, one being the organization of a $25,000 company, which would give a degree of responsibility to the company so that persons injured might be able to recover damages. The union people so far have been unwilling to establish any responsibility. planned to be held at the Chamber of Commerce."
