HULL TO BE UTILIZED
Mayor Baker Has Plans for
Auditorium.
MEETINGS TO BE SOUGHT
Executive Believes Proper Man in
' Charge Can Attract Conven
tions, and Many Kcw In
dustries to Portland.
Portland's Auditorium is to be made
into a general clearing-house for the
city's development and growth. Plana
along this line are being worked out
now by Mayor Baker.
it is planned to place the building- In
charge of a good, live man. with the
duties of handling the building and at
the same time campaigning for conven
tions for Portland and seeking new in
dustries and new factories. The posi
tion will be made to pay a salary suf
ficient to engage the proper type of
man. Mayor Baker says he believes the
.work is the biggest Portland can, un
dertake at this time.
- Mr. Baker has not made public the
names of persons he has in mind for
the position, but expects to get some
one who will meet the requirements
necessary to make the position a prof
itable one for the city.
. In some of the other cities, particu
larly those in California, the city has
men engaged In the, worn of getting
conventions. Mayor Baker proposes to
add to this work the work of taking
care of the Auditorium and going into
the field for new industries and pro
motion of campaigns for industries,
home products and the like.
"I believe," said Mayor Baker yes
terday, "that people of Portland are
beginning to awaken to the opportuni
ties and to realize the importance of
payrolls and conventions and to un
derstand that these can be had only
when they are sought and sought vig
orously. With an energetic man in the
field all the time Portland will be on
a par with other municipalities hav
ing the same sort of representatives.
"It is necessary to place someone in
charge of the Auditorium. I stand for
making the position one of promotion
and development, as well as one hav
ing to do purely with the administra
tion of our beautiful new building,
which. I believe, is going to be an im
portant part in our future.
"Furthermore, I plan doing every
thing in my power to place Portland on
a parity with other cities in the items
which investors weigh when they are
seeking a field. We have had experi
ences where investors have looked
Portland over and then gone elsewhere
because one or more of the factors
they must consider were not as lenient
in Portland as elsewhere.
"We want more factories and there
is but one way to get them, and that
is to make conditions right and then
go after them with a punch. Port
land has all the facilities in sites,
transportation and products. I Intend
that we shall have the other essentials."

AID IS APPRECIATED
Head of Music Festival Ex
presses Thanks.
MANY AGENCIES " ASSIST
'Xow Is Time for Relaxation and
Sustaining Power of Listening
to Good Music," Says Presi
dent W. F. Woodward.
Brief but of sincere tribute to the
spirit which made possible and created
Portland's first annual music Festival,
at which the Public Auditorium was
dedicated last night, was the opening
address of William F'. Woodward, presi
dent of the Portland Musical Festival
Association.
Looking toward the peopled tiers of
the great auditorium. President Wood
ward spoke with the heartfelt simplicity
of one who has seen a. cherished dream
come true, and his remarks were
stamped by the approving applause of
that remarkable and representative au
dience. "It would Indeed show a woeful lack
of appreciation were the association of
which the speaker Is the nominal head,"
said Mr. Woodward, "to fail at this time
and on this occasion, to give full and
sincere acknowledgment to those agen
cies and Individuals who have made pos
1 sible through unselfish devotion, the
material success of this, our city's first
music festival.
"I would refer particularly to the un
remitting service of our Mayor, who has
far exceeded the obligations of his offi
cial position by helpful advice and
sleepless exertions: to the press, the
newspapers of Portland, to whom we
owe a debt of gratitude which can never
be repaid.
Organizations Give Assistance.
"From organizations closely allied to
our own, there has been received more
than a sympathetic .nterest. Reference
Is particularly made to the Portland
Symphony Orchestra, Apollo Club. Musi
cians . Club. McDowell Club, Orpheus
Club, State Music Teachers' Association,
Monday Musical Club, Portland Operatic
Association, New England Conservatory
Club, Musicians' Mutual Association,
Swiss, German, Swedish and Norwegian
Singing societies.
"The director of our chorus, Mr.
Boyer, has labored unremittingly and
for a compensation which bears no re
lation whatever to the service per
formed. The same may be said of our
executive secretary, Sidney Lathrop.
who has so faithfully and efficiently
performed the multifarious duties
placed upon him.
"From our several public corpora
tions. Portland Railway, Light Ac
Power. Company, Portland Gas & Coke
Company, Foster & Kleiser Company,
we have been the recipients of kind
nesses and favors which can never be
repaid by money alone.
"Failure to secure the uite of our
organ is a mutual disappointment. The
Unitarian Church, occupying as it does
a location convenient for the me ru
bers of our chorus, has been freely
given for rehearsal purposes pending
completion of this building, a courtesy
which is thus acknowledged.
Relaxation Is Neeessary.
"And last, but not leasts our chorus
250 voices, unselfish, painstaking, ef
ficient men and women, who, coming
front every walk in life, have laid
aside their daily tasks and appeared
for . rehearsals on occasions, when.
weary In mind and body from the
day's toil, they have sought with the
utmost fidelity to achieve with success
their responsible task.
"To you, my friends, occupying these
seats and awaiting this occasion, with
anticipation and perhaps with appre
hension, let us tender our heartiest
thanks. Your interest is evidenced by
your presence. May this occasion and
the others which follow attest the
worthiness of our effort. These are
days of tense action. We need, as
never before, the relaxation, the sus
taining power that comes by listening,
yea, learning to listen, if 'you will, to
these great harmonies. Contemplate, if
you will, with righteous pride, the re
sults of unselfish effort, coupled with
God-given talents, the material and
musical resources of our people, united
in giving us this feast of souL"

NEW HIGHWAY PLANNED
PASCO RESIDENT WANT PORTLAND
BACKING IN BIG ENTERPRISE.
Route Proposed Is Portland to Pasco
to Leirliion to Boise, Thence to
Southern Cailfornln.
Construction of the "Evergreen High
way," along the Washington shore of
the Columbia to Pasco, thence along
the Snake River to Lewlston, south
across Idaho to Boise, thence to Salt
Lake City, through Utah and Nevada
to Southern California. Is the ambitious
plan of an enterprising committee of
Pasco, Wash., residents, who will be
in Portland within a few Weeks to lay
their programme before the Chamber
of Commerce.
An exploration committee will make
a preliminary trip over the route, start
ing out from Portland and traversing
the entire distance to Los Angeles. In
cluded In the party will be Captain I.
M. Howell. Secretary of State of Wash
ington: A. J. Elrod. State Engineer,
and others.
The Columbia River Highway be
tween Portland and The Dalles Is to be
a link in the circuit, which provides
for crossing the river at Maryhill. on
the Washington side.
Automobiles have been over the en
tire distance and report a pass of com
paratively easy grades over the moun
tains between Lewlston and Boise. It
can be traveled the year around, hence
giving the route the name of "Ever
green." While the promoters of this newest
roadway concern themselves only with
the route east from Portland through
Idaho, Utah and Nevada, they are tak
ing Into consideration the fact that
the Pacific Highway between Portland
and Los Angeles can be used in form
ing a complete circuit.
The promoters wrote to the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday that they will
be In Portland July 19 to explain their
plans before starting on their path
finding expedition.
