GIVEN Democracy and Cosmopolitanism Seen In Patriotic GatheringGov ernor Withycombe and Dr. John Boyd Are Speakers. This Is a great cosmoplitan, demo cratic country of ours. Anyone who atended the naturaliza tion ceremonies at the Public Library Jast night, when 134 foreign-born resi dents became citizens, must have been thoroughly impressed with that fact. Witness the cosmopolitanism: Here were natives of 15 different countries, representing nearly all the belligerent nations of Europe, happily united In the common purpose of entering Into citi zenship of their newly adopted com mon country. Witness the democracy: Here was Simon Benson, millionaire timber oper ator and hotel owner, seated on equal terms with Michael Kapezal, railroad laborer. Circuit Judge George N. Davis con ceived the Idea of holding the exer cises In public, and the public largely attended. The room was tastily decor ated with American flags. As each successive name was called a clerk presented the applicant with a silk American flag the gift of the Sons of the American Revolution. The oaths were delivered Individually, and each applicant was heartily applauded In turn as he concluded it. Conspicuous In the class was Alex ander Davidson, who appeared In the uniform of a sergeant of the Third Oregon Infantry. Obviously he had undertaken the duties as well as the privileges of citizenship. When Henry B. Hazzard, Federal naturalization examiner, had concluded the presentation of certificates. Judge Davis struck the spirit of the occasion by addressing the assemblage as "fellow citizens." He introduced Governor Withycombe who congratulated the group. The prin cipal address was given by Dr. John H Boyd, who dwelt largely upon the democratlo spirit of the American Re-, public The following Is a list of newly-made citizens.

Y DINNER DANCES OPENED Society Attends First Function of Hotel Portland's Season. There they were;"all sitting around, Irving ta look, politely, bored aod ln- different, toying carelessly with the carefully prepared viands placed before them at Hotel Portland's opening din ner dance last night. While the orches tra played alluring one-steps and fascinating fox trots. Portland society sat and waited for some one couple to start the festivities. A perceptible shrug of the shoulders now and then betrayed the fact that society was eager to whirl, but It lacked the courage. Soon a conservative-looking couple, not too young.' but exceptionally good dancers, floated down the length of the polished floor to the merry tune of a one-step. Then the party began. Napkins were hurriedly laid aside, food neglect ed and partners eagerly sought. Not even then did the merry-makers have the courage to encore the orchestra, but soon the first self-consciousness wore off and Informality and good-fellowship prevailed.

Word was received today that tne Booth-Kelly mills at Springfield and Wendling. as well as the logging camps, employing more than 500 men, have shut down. The Ewauna Box Company, at Klamath Falls, with 172 employes, has also closed because of Inability to secure cars. The Klamath Falls firm has notinea the Southern Pacific officials that it has 130 carloads of shooks piled In and around its warehouses, ready for ship ment. A portion of these shooks are said to be suffering damage from ex posure to the weather. Company Says Rain Faced. This company asserts that It Is facing ruin because of the lack of cars to movo its product to California points, where contracts for delivery have been made. "Our customers are in distress for want of shooks," reads a communica tion sent to E. O. McCormick, vice president of the Southern Pacific "We have these to supply them with, but you are not furnishing us with cars In sufficient numbers of any consequence. We informed your company in Feb ruary of this year that we would ship 1000 to 1200 carloads of shooks this sea son, at the rate of 100 cars monthly, and to please keep us in cars." The Perrydale Flouring Mill today notified the Commission that It had ordered 29 cars since August 28, with which to ship oats to Portland, but had been unable to obtain any. H. J. Elliott, manager of the Perry- dale mill in his advices to the Commis sion said: "We now have on hand in our warehouse and available for ship ment 1000 tons of oats, which are con tracted for delivery in Portland this month." Favored Shipments Found. Frank J. Miller, a member of the Public Service Commission, said today that he had received many complaints of the alleged discrimination which the Southern Pacific was practicing with respect to Oregon shippers. Through Inquiry which I made on my own account," said Mr. Miller, "I found evidence in several cases where the Southern Pacific Is plainly favoring shipments destined to competitive points in the East over shipments dee tined merely to California or nearby points connecting with other lines. Mr. Miller said that in Salem and other valley towns he had found that some shippers to Eastern points were being furnished with cars days In ad vance of their actual loading. Although the Southern Paclflo gave assurances of its Intention to supply more cars to Oregon shippers, the com mission's records show little. If any Improvement to date. Today the short age on the Portland division of the Southern Pacific was 1432 cars. Only 0 empty cars were reecived at Ash land from California within the last 24 hours.
