FULL SPEED AHEAD, ORDER Look for the Sale Cards SeCOnd Day of MEIER & FRANK'S I Extra Salespeople J so r Trtfr QjiAAJtrY STdrVjg Of POKTLAMft ) MEN rinancc Committee Will Assemble to I.a.v Plan for Raising SlOO, OOO Entertainment Fund. Al Kader Temple, Ancient Arabic Or der, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, will launch its campaign in earnest today for capturing and bringing to Portland the 13'JO session of the imperial .coun. cil. Joseph n. Botvles, president of the Northwest Steel Company, has been appointed chairman of the finance com mittee for the local organization, and has called a meeting of that committee to be held in the green room of the Chamber of Commerce at 4 o'clock this . afternoon. At that meeting the -work of complet ing the 100,000 fund which Al Kader purposes to raise for the entertainment of the imperial council and the thou sands of visiting nobles who are ex pected to come here in July of next jcar in case Portland's campaign suc ceeds, will be thoroughly organized. Mr. Bowles Contribute 510O0. Just to show that he believes in the campaign and its purpose, Mr. Bowles has made a personal contribution of J1000 to the entertainment fund. Ed ward Holman. another enthusiastic no ble, has matched this with an offer to put into the maximum fund to be raised. 1 per cent of its total amount. As Al Kader Temple does not propose to stop until $100,000 is achieved, this means another $1000. The main campaign which Al Kader must make, aside from the raising of the money, will be carried on at the coming imperial council session next July to be held in Indianapolis. Port land representatives at this session will be Judge George V. Stapleton and William Oavirf, past potentates, and II. T. Hutchinson and Mayor George L. Baker, nobles, of Al Kader Temple. At last year's session at Atlantic City the Al Kader representatives presented Portland's claims for 1920, and were given substantial encouragement. This year they hope to complete the work successfully which was then begun. For the 1920 session Detroit is the chief contender with Portland. It will be the earnest endeavor .of the Fort land delegation to nose Detroit out in the race. One advantage that the lo cal representatives will have is that this year's session is to be held in a Middle West city, while last year's session was held on the Atlantic Coast.' Logically, argue the A1 Kader nobles, the next one ought to come to the Pa cific Coast. Committers Are Appointed. The imperial council session commit tee, as appointed by Illustrious Poten tate Hofmann. is composed as follows: George W. Stapleton. chairman: H. T. Hutchinson, vice-chairman: Dean Vincent, treasurer; Mark Woodruff, sf-cretary: Joseph R. Bowles, J. C. .Ninsworth. William Davis, lj. G. Clarke, Hugh J. Boyd, W. J. Hofmann, Emery Olmstead, l- S.

Bowles, chairman; Emery Olmstead, vice-chairman: J. C. Ains worth, J. A. Cranston, C. D. Brunn, Isaac D. Hunt. John S. Beall, George I.. Baker. Franklin T. Griffith. J. W. Ganong, L. B.

Vis-itors Taken to Salem lo Present Programme of Northwest to Legislature. Five members and an associate mem ber composing the joint committee ap pointed by the AVashington Legislature to confer with the Legislatures of Oregon. Washington, Idaho and Mon tana, and also, if such exist, with the various commissions appointed to ex pend state funds for the benefit of dis charged soldiers, met with the Gover nors' Soldiers' Commission, headed by W. B. Ayer, in room 214, Portland Ho tel, yesterday morning. They talked over the general situa tion with Governor Withycombe's com mission, and as a result. Chairman Ayer. of that body, accompanied the Washington men to Salem, leaving on the 2 o'clock train yesterday after noon. Chairman Ayer will introduce the committee to the members of the Ore gon Legislature. The committee will endeavor to secure co-ordinating legis lation by which the various commis sions will be interlocked and inter related. Washington already has ap propriated $o00.000 for the relief of discharged soldiers, sailors and ma rines, j ne vasnington men will urge that the broadest possible scope be given each individual commission. The Governor's Soldiers' Commission is headed by W. B. Ayer, chairman, the other members being J. O. Crauston. John H. Stevenson. John H. Burgard and Harry Anderson. The following members of the Washington committee accompanied Chairman Ayer to Salem yesterday : Senator A. K. Judd, Chehalis: Rep resentative Morris Smith, Spokane; Representative Pliny L. Allen, Seattle; Senator T. D. Rockwell, Representative "V. W. Conner, and F. P. Foisie, direc tor of the home service of the Ameri can Red Cross for the Northwest di vision. An associate member. Dr. Henry L. Suzzalo, president of the Uni versity, did not make the trip owing to stress of business.
