IX CATHOUC CHURCHES.
Drive to Raise $100,000 Will Start
Xext Monday, Following Dinner
in Honor of Workers.
The tstory of the Jeanne d'Arc, the
proposed new residence hall for girls
for which a J100.000 drive will be
launched one week from today, was
told by priests and laymen of the 25
Catholic churches of the city last night.
1"he fact that there are 5000 young
women in Portland without homes was
emphasized and it was pointed out that
wholesome living conditions, properly
safeguarded and at a moderate cost,
are lacking.
The speakers nrged upon their hear
ers that in this project a real oppor
tunity for civic and humanitarian serv
ice is offered. Assistance in the drive
was sought both in the way of solic
itors and contributors
Speaking at the different parish
houses were the following: St. Mary's,
J. C. English; Madeleine, Will Sheehy;
Holy Cross, P. E. Sullivan; Holy Rosary,
John D. Mann; Laurelhurst, Robert
O'Niel; St Lawrence, M. J. Walsh. In
the other parishes the priests presented
the matter.
The solicitation organization has been
augmented by two new colonels. Mrs.
Etta Colby, who will be in charge of
the southeast part of the city, and
Mrs. P. L. Hirt, who will be in charge
of the St, Johns district. It is likely
that a meeting will be held in the new
residence hall, which was formerly the
Virginia Hill hotel, next Sunday after
noon, when short addresses will be
given containing valuable information
tor the benefit of solicitors and liter
ature will be distributed. The formal
opening of the drive will be in the na
ture of a complimentary dinner to be
given for the workers at the Hotel
Portland Monday evening. May 19.
9000 ACRES TO BE DIKED
Rich. Alluvial Land Near Vancouver
Will Be Reclaimed.
KELSO, Wash.. May 11. fSrjeelal
G. J. Proysky of this place, who has been
supervising the diking of more than
12.000 acres of land in and around Kelso,
and engineer of the diking projects at
woodiawn, which will reclaim about
8000 acres additional, has been notified
that he has been appointed by the board
of county commissioners of Clarke
county engineer of the large diking
project near Vancouver to reclaim some
9000 acres of overflow land along the
Columbia river, including Vancouver
lake. Mr. Poysky was in Vancouver
yesterday conferring with the Clarke
county officers and will start prelim
inary surveys of the proposed diking
project at once, although the June
freshet will probably interfere with the
work.
The land to . be reclaimed in the
Clarke1 county district is of the same
type of rich alluvial overflow land as
that around Kelso, which has been pro
ducing tremendous crops since it was
diked and put into cultivation. Van
couver lake, covering several thousand
acres, will be drained in connection
with the diking project.

HOOD RIVER, Or.. May 11. (Spe

favor Hood River valley for the pro
duction of bumper yields of all species
of fruit. Following the period of pol-
lenization, with its warm, sunshiny
days, warm showers drenched the mid-
Columbia today. They will not only
cause a rapid growth of apples, cher
ries and pears, all of which have set
heavily, but will result in large size of
the first strawberries picked.
Growers say the rain, which has wet
the earth to the depth of three inches.

Oversubscription: Is Estimated at
$1,500,000 Captured Cannon
State Is Assured.
With an oversubscription outside
the city of Portland estimated at
$1,000,000, an oversubscription within
Portland of more than $500. 000, the
proud record of being one of the first
states in the union to go over the top
n the last drive, if not Indeed the
premier state in point of popular sub
scription. Oregon looked back at the
Victory liberty loan in retrospect yes
terday with the air of a state well
pleased with itself. i
"They can call Portland the 'sDinerter
city,' they can call us "webfeet in Ore
gon, but they can never call us 'slack
ers.'" Old Man Oregon tilted his cigar
at a high angle, thrust his thumbs into
the armholes of his vest, and as he
spoke cast a sparkling eye over a long
record or war achievement beginning
with a volunteer quota of warriors at
the first call to arms, that shamed
many a rock-bound state whose patri
otic traditions went back to revolu
tionary days.
Oversubscription Is f 1,500,000.
"The state at large set the pace, kept
the pace, and furnished a whirlwind
of spirit for the entire loan drive,"
commented' John L. Etherldge, state
director of organization for the Vic
tory loan, yesterday on his return
from a tour of outside- counties. "I am
confident that oversubscriptions out
side of Portland will be in the neigh
borhood of a million dollars."
In Portland the oversubscription Is
officialy placed at $498,175 to date,
with many pledges unheard from
which are expected to bring the total
higher by $50,000 or $60,000.
The popplarity of the lian In Oregon
will be evidenced by the large number
of individual subscriptions, believe loan
workers. It seems not at all unlikely
that the total number of persons who
were subscribers to the fifth loan will
totak 150.000. This was the estimate
given last night by Mr. Etherldge and
by Robert E. Smith, state manager,
though official figures are not yet
available. Neither Mr. Smith nor Mr.
Etherldge knew the estimate of the
other.
Subscribers Estimated at 150,000.
Up to a few days before the close of
the drive, there had been 35.000 sub
scriptions in Portland. Mr. Smith be
lieved the totals during the last few
days would bring it up to more than
50,000. He expected 100,000 from the
stat at large. Mr. Etherldge gave a
conservative estimate of the state fig
ures, outside of Portland, with a total
of 75.000. alloting a similar number to
Portland.
Taking these estimates as fairly in
dicative of results, it will be seen that
Ihe last loan far outstripped the first
and second loans in point of number of
subscriptions, equalled the third and
fell behind the fourth. There were
220.000 individuals subscriptions to the
fourth loan.
"The reason the fourth loan was not
exceeded in the number of subscribers
is a very natural cause the closing
down or great reduction in forces of the
shipyards and the complete discontinu
ance of the spruce production work,"
said Mr. Smith. "In the previous drive
the ehipyard men were making large
wages and went 100 per cent for the
loan. This source was not open this
time. '
All Counties Over Top,
"Not a county in Oregon but reported
full subscriptions and most of them
were over," decl-red Mr. Etherldge in
commenting on the state campaign.
From the inception of the drive the
question has never been Will we make
from Oregon counties but 'How
much over are we going?'
The counties which had the most
difficulty in securing their quotas in
the fourth loan were among the first
over this time. Those were Jackson,
Douglas, Josephine and Lane. One
reason they went over strong was that
their population had 'increased by the
return of shipyard workers and de
mobilized soldiers.
I would like to say a word of
praise for Dr. Bernard Bailey who, as
county chairman, brought Lane county
hrough with an oversubscription of
10 per cent in spite of the heavy finan
cial loss among farmers of that section
from the drouth of last summer. He
raveled thousands of miles In his
work."
Small Denominations Popular.
It will be remembered that Salem
was the first capital city in the United
States to make its quota and Wash-
ngton the first county in the United
States to report its full allotment.
Mr. Etherldge possesses a telegram
from Klamath Falls which Is terse, but
to the point. "We wired you if you
would send us Billy Sunday, we would
get our quota," it read. "You sent us
Billy. We have our quota."
There is a general impression abroad
which Mr. Smith is very anxious to
have cleared up. It is found that peo
pie in Portland, believe generally that
this city was enabled to make its quota
a week ago Saturday by the kindness of
local bankers who made up the $2,500,-
000 deficit. This is entirely a misap
prehension.
"Portland banks did Tiot take a dol
lar of the loan those last two days,'
contends Mr. Smith. "The stl: ulus of
the last day was the most phenomenal
patriotic demonstration this country has
ever seen. Every cent tnat came in
on a flood of popular response to the
appeal to make Portland a winner those
last days was from the general public.
The vast majority of the bonds pur
chased were in the $50 and $100
amounts.
Orejron Claims Honors.
"The trouble with the loan in Port
land until the last two days was the
widespread belief that popular response
really was not necessary, that the bonds
were such a good investment tnat tne
banks would snap them up and leave
nothing for the public. The banks had
been warned distinctly not to do that
very' thing, for the loan was for the
people. The banks took about $2,000,000
of the bonds early in the game and
then quit When the people really real
ized that Portland tacea laiiure it tney
did not rally to the support of the loan,
the response to the shock was magnifi
cent." In this respect the last loan was dif
ferent from all previous' loans. In other
loans the popular subscriptions came
first and the banks made up the de
ficit at the end. This time the peo
ple in general came in at the final
stretch.
Oregon still claims to lead the na
tion as the first state to reach its
quota through popular subscription. No
decision has yet been received from
Washington on the contentions of Mich
igan and Iowa, which claim first and
second place, with Oregon third. Mr.
Smith has no personal knowledge of
the methods used by Michigan to ae-

sand of the mean Insurance in force, and for its entiro careeer the average cost

cure Its quota, but does know how Iowa
went over the top for the fourth loan.
"In Iowa, for the fourth loan, the
banks over the state took the 'entire
quota for their districts, agreeing to
sell to their customers as much of it
as possible," he said. "The moment
they reported on the taking of their
quotas, the state reported the entire
quota as already subscribed, whereas
such was far from the fact. I have no
reason to believe that Iowa operated
differently during the victory loan."
German cannon taken by the Ameri
cans in the final drive of the war, to
the number of four, are to be awarded
to states and cities oversubscribing;
their quotas in the twelfth federal re
serve district. That Oregon will receive
one of these cannon seems certain, and
probably would receive more were it
not for the qrovision that but one will
be awarded to any one state.
There are four classes to which can
non go in this competition. The first
is to the state having the largest per
cent of oversubscription. The second
to the city of more than 200,000 popu
lation oversubscribing by the greatest
percentage; the third to the city of
more than 75,000 and less than 200,000
oversubscribing, and the fourth to the
city of more than 10,000 and less than
75,000 oversubscribing. Though Oregon
can get only one cannon, there is an
excellent chance of its leading in three
classes the first, by reason of the
state's quota: the second, by reason of
Portland's showing, and the fourth by
reason of Salem's record. There would
be no entry from Oregon in the third
class.
