TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TTEDXESDAT, SEPTE3IBER 27. 101C CHAMBERLAIN SAYS WILSON WILL WIN Oregon's Senior Senator, Home From Capital, to Make Campaign Speeches. RECEPTION IS CORDIAL Xle-elcction Is Predicted on Basis of Popularity in East, Eight-Hour Law and Fact That War Has Been Averted. Victory for "Wilson at the November election was forecast, and attention was called to the legislation accom plished by the Administration as a list of notable achievement, by George E. Chamberlain, senior Senator from Ore Bon, on his arrival home last night. Senator Chamberlain will make sev eral speeches for President Wilson's candidacy In this state: just how many lie does not know yet. He has been away for a year and will rest for a time. Then he will pitch into the cam paign and will return to Washington early in December. Senator Chamberlain was met at the TTnion Depot on his arrival over the O. W. R. & N. last night at 7 o'clock by members of his family, and a reception committee of 20 prominent Democrats, headed by Milton A. Miller, and others. T'pon alighting from his Pullman, his hand was seized and shaken by a large number, and he was greeted warmly. Demands for a speech were made, but to these he turned a deaf ear. Wilson's Election Predicted. "President Wilson will bo re-elected. said Senator Chamberlain. "They are .strong for Wilson in the East. The plain people are on his side this time beyond question. This is due largely to the legislative programme enacted and his attitude in respect to labor. "The eight-hour law is popular m the East, and it will add to the Presi dent's strength. The law is the prin ciple of the eight-hour day at bottom. Employers of labor advocate it as a principle of efficiency, and I think it will be found that the railroad com panies will not contest its constitution ality. I do not think it can be attacked successfully. It is not a law regulat ing wages, but it fixes the length of the working day as eight hours. Rail road men may work longer than eight hours in any one day if they so de sire. . "The child-labor law, too, is a big factor. Like the eight-hour law, it ap peals to the humanities and reaches to the hearts of the homes of this coun try. Legislation Is Defended "I think Hughes has been injuring himself. For he said in his Milwaukee epeech that he was going to wipe out the accomplishments of the Wilson Ad ministration. These accomplishments are too important and too valuable for anyone to wipe out. Among his most notable achievements I might mention legislation opening the country to the world's commerce, and the creation of a. tariff commission to ascertain just what conditions are. ; "The creation of a shipping board and the appropriation of money for the construction of ships is a step in the right direction. - "They may say what they please, but there has been no war between tnis country and any other country. This is popular everywhere. "They say the Mexican policy of President Wilson was a mistake, but they do not say what could have been done to correct the mistake. Even Taft. who wished the Mexican tangle on President Wilson, has not been able to say what could have been done in that situation, and Hughes does not eay what he would do. Retaliatory Measures Approval!. "Another thing that is popular in the r.ast is the retaliatory provisions against the blacklist that England is enforcing against our people. This will in effect, permit the President to re fuse clearance papers to English ships that decline to carry American goods when they have cargo space. "The allies have been opening Amer ican malls and diverting orders sent here from neutral countries. I have myself seen a letter sent me by a man who complained of this practice. An order had been taken from it, and the "letter was marked censored before it was sent on its way. It is held by the English that they have the right to divert neutral orders, carried in neu tral mails, to firms they themselves want to favor. "The military programme so far mapped out is popular in the East. This will provide for raising the strength of the Army from 135.000; as at present, to an eventual strength of J 56,000. We had to accept the National Guard Federalization as a compromise measure, this having originated in th House, and it was not what we wanted at the start. I'nlversal Training: Advocated. "I have a bill in preparation that will be presented at the next session that will provide for universal military training. "The Oregon & California land grant matter was perhaps the most important piece of legislation as regards Oregon. But there was a great deal done for this state. I have not the figures available right now. but I will have by tomorrow. The Oregon & California land grant will more than double the irreducible school fund. Returns from these lands will be divided so that 25 per cent goes to the school fund, 25 per cent to the county in which the land is situated. 40 per cent to the reclamation fund and 10 per cent to the general fund for administration. "There is no disposition to delay the opening of these lands. The matter te being hurried along as fast as possible. I believe experts are now in the field classifying them and there will be no hesitation at all. j "I do not know how many speeches I shall make here before the election. I am rather tired and will rest for a while, but I expect to do my bit later on." Senator Chemberlain went to his home in Irvington last night. He was met at the train by his son. Dr. Charles T.

CHAMBERLAIN. Worst Car Situation Ever Known Is Predicted. COAST IS WITHOUT SHIPS Bend Box Factory Opens Tip. BEND, Or., Sept. 2G. (Special.) After long delays arising from the non-delivery of material, the box fac tory of the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company is now in operation, making the second box factory to be operated here in connection with the local lum ber industry. Twenty men are em ployed in the new factory. Railroads Must Care for 18,000 Car loads of Wheat From Oregon and AVashington That Heretofore Have Gone by Water. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 26. (Spe cial.) The most serious car shortage ever known in this country is due with in the next few weeks, according to E. E. Calvin, president of the Union Pa cific Railroad, who arrived here in his private car from Omaha today for a conference with President Sproule. ot the Southern Pacific. Mr. Calvin, who is staying at the St. Francis, was for many years operating head of the Southern Pacific in San Francisco, and Is well known here. Prior to his recent elevation to the presidency of the Union Pacific he was in charge of that part of the Union Pa cific system formerly known as the Oregon Short Line, at Salt Lake City. "The car shortage Is general all over the country, but is getting particularly serious in the Missouri River states and other grain-producing sections," said Mr. Calvin. "There are 18.800 cars of wheat to move out of Oregon and Washington by rail in the next few weeks that ordinarily move by water. The lack of ships on the Pacific is re sponsible for this condition, which, for tunately, will last only a short time, and may never occur again. "When the war began we were haul ing wheat from as far East as Idaho and Utah to Pacific Coast ports for ex port, but now it is all moving East by rail. The railroads cannot be expected to furnish new equipment to meet this temporary condition, and even if they were willing they could not get new cars in time to help." Mr. Calvin is accompanied by Mrs. Cal vin, H. J. Plumhof. contract agent of the Union Pacific, and Samuel Rigdon, his secretary. The party will remain here four or five days. W. W. Cotton, of Portland, head of the legal department of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Company, met and conferred with Mr. Calvin shortly after his arrival. LOST COUPLE ARE FOUND (Continu1 Frcrm First Page." of their parents, she was greatly re lieved. Mrs. Edlefsen was able to walk for half a mile, with assistance. Then a cot was improvised for her by stretching a blanket aross a pair of alpenstocks. On this the rescuers, who by this time had Joined Mr. Waterman, carried her to an automobile waiting along the road leading to Gov ernment Camp. Mr. Edlefsen continued all the way to the machine on foot. When they returned to the hotel Mr. Edlefsen in sisted on dancing a jig with F. H. Fleming, of Portland, who was a mem ber of one of the searching parties. A rich soup was brewing at the hotel in anticipation of their return. Although their extreme hunger urged them to eat heartily they used dis cretion and partook only sparingly. Each of them took a hot bath and went to bed. They slept soundly throughout the day. They were awak ened late in the afternoon and given a hearty meal. Then they went back to sleep. Peter H. Edlefsen, a brother, is at the hotel with them. This morning he will take them to Tawney's, where they will see their children. It is probable that they will come to Portland today. Actions Highly Commended. The safe recovery of Mr. and Mrs. Edlefsen is considered the most re markable in the annals of Northwest ern mountaineering. "I don't believe that two experienced mountain climbers could have handled themselves more intelligently." said A. E. Fox. one of the Mount Hood guides. "It is most "extraordinary that they had sense enough to build a fire and stay in one place. When they reached Crater Rock. near the pinnacle of the mountain, at noon on Sunday, Mrs. Edlefsen became exhausted and felt that she could not go on. Elijah Coalman, their guide, advised her to remain at the rock until the other members of the party should return. Mr. Edlefsen remained with her. After waiting there for an hour or so Brenton M. Benson and F. A. Jen sen, who had scaled the peak earlier in the morning, passed them on the way back. They determined to follow the men leisurely, until the others should catch up. Just before the men entered the tlm ber from the snow fields a. cloud came up and obscured them frm view. Thus Mr. and Mrs. Edlefsen lost their bear ings. After wandering in the timber for a time they realized that they were lost. They determined then to make a fire and endeavor to keep comfortable for the night. The following morning Monday they went back into the snownelds again to get their bearings. From the snow they could see the Government Camp Hotel, but did not recognize it as the place they were seeking. Match Supply Scanty. Mr. Edlefsen had but two matches when they started. He spent his first match in building the fire Sunday night. The last one lighted the fire on Monday night. Elijah Coalman, the veteran guide, with a party of 10, started up from Government Camp on Tuesday morn ing. There they found the fresh tracks. evidently made when the couple re turned to the snowfields on Monday. The party spread out about 60 yards apart and continuously shouted to one another. A code of signals had been agreed upon in case the Edlefsens were found. Thus they were prepared to comb the mountainside above Zigzag canyon. Other members of this party were A. M. Grilley, physical director of the Y. M. C. A.; F. H. Fleming. F. H. Kiser, W. W. Evans, F. A. Jensen and 11. M. Benson. C0RVALLIS GREETS TROOPS Fireworks and Crowd of 2000 Wel come Company lv Home. CORVALLIS. Or., Sept. 26. (Special.) When Company K arrived in Corval lis last night 2000 persons were at the depot In spite of the fact that it was late at night and many of them had been waiting for six hours. The sol diers were served at the depot with re freshments, after which they were marched uptown preceded by the fire men's band, and followed by blocks of people. The streets were decorated, red fire was burned, roman candles were fired and addresses were made by Mayor Porter, C. H. Glos, J. F. Yates, Pro fessor R. D. Hetzel and Rev. D. H. Leach. Captain Murphy responded in behalf of the company. Company K will use the O. A. C. Armory. Pollock Funeral Held. The funeral 'services of Harry D. Pollock, of Oswego, were held at Fin ley's chapel yesterday at 11 o'clock. Rev. F. F. Bowen officiated. Miss Caroline Lowengart and Miss Celia Ward sang "Beautiful Isle of Some where" and "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The pallbearers were J. McNerny, F. Hawley, M. Rood, H. Sherett. T. Luke and H. Welton.

The Men's Store for Quality and Service Southeast Corner Fifth and Alder REQUEST IS WAIVED Irvington Club Yields in Favor of South Portland. GOOD OF CITY IS MOTIVE Indorsement Given to Proposal to Improve Marquam Gulcli, and by Spending $60,000 Making Park of Site. The Irvington Club will waive all proposed requests to the city for mu nicipal improvements it had intended to make this year and lends Its indorse ment to the proposed 60.000 improve ment in South Portland, by which part of Marquam Gulch will be beautified and utilized as a public playground and park. At a meeting of the direct ors of the Irvinwton Club last night it was decided to Indorse the South Portland project, leaving the Ir vington work for another year. W. F. Woodward, president of the Irvington Club, was authorized tosend resolu tions to Commissioner George L. Baker today, informing him of the directors' action in indorsing the South Portland movement on the ground that the pro posed work there is a part of the move ment to Improve Portland generally. Their attitude is that civic beauty is an all-city movement and should not be confined to any one section at the expense of another, and that the South Portland needs are paramount to any other part of the city at this time. That the South Portland work might bo put under way with the least delay and in convenience they voted unanimously to indorse the Marquam Gulch project and leave Irvington requests to a later date. The South Portland project includes a plan for tilling- and improving a part of Marquam Gulch at once. The part for the first work is mentioned as that between Terwilliger boulevard and the Fourth-street bridge. The work in cludes the condemnation of a part of the property adjoining for park pur poses, and. all told, would cost about $60,009.' This would be only a start on the greater plan for improving and utilizing that section of the city. Com miMsioner Baker has been acquainted with the project, and is understood to be in favor of it. but he has pointed out that with $60,000 in the budget for1 this work, proposed work for other J parts of the city, now well equipped with playground and park facilities. should wait. The object of the Irving ton Club in waiving its requests is to lend influence in getting the needed money for South Portland. Similar co operation from other districts of the city is expected also. promises to be an eventful day. Plans for it proper celebration were made at a meeting of those interested in fire prevention last night at the Chamber of Commerce. The meeting was attended by members of the var ious business concerns, civic and com mercial organizations and officials of the Fire Department. Committees were appointed to take charge of the details of the celebra tion. Members of those civic and commer cial organizations present last night were instructed to return to their re spective organizations and get their co-operation in furnishing floats for a monster parade. Besides the support of such organi zations, the co-operation of the Parent Teachers Association was pledged. It is also probable that the fire corps from all the high schools will take an active part in the celebration. The parade will be the main feature of the celebration Monday. October 9. On Sunday. October 8, it is probable that all the churches will have safety first exercises. Arrangements for such observances are now being made by the proper committee. Monday night. October 9. the Safety Forum, organized at the Chamber of Commerce several months ago. will have it second meeting and from that time it is proposed to use the forum as a working body.
