Meeting: Large and .Jovial.
The meeting was the largest annual
assembly in. the history of the cham
ber, and was jovial to the point of
hilarity. There were the routine re
ports, all indicative of , the growth
and usefulness of the chamber, but
these speedily gave way to enter
tainment numbers of genuine merit

the evening, perhaps, was the sing

business men, led in admirable fash

Jenkins. And when "Bfly" Mont

hand, and sang "My Dalling Nellie

I that the ice pack reached our winter
quarters just a little ahead of us and
shut us out. We had no choice, as
the ice came closer and closer to the
coast. We went, therefore, as far as
ithe-ice permitted, and, plunging into
' some old floes fringing the west coast
of Aium .Island (at the mouth of
Chaoun bay) our position became not
as good as I had wished, as we were
exposed to the whole ice pack. How
ever, our gallant little vessel will
certainly stand the test with flying
colors."
"Three days after our arrival here
we met with some members of the
Tschuktschi and Maquati tribes," said
the message. "They had their tents
on Aiun island, but left for the inner
country October 3, to spend the win

for home. But he returned November

little village on the Kolyma called
Saharnaia, who told him that no
connections could be obtained- from

"As soon as the ice opens in the
spring, we are continuing our way
as far as Nome, where I hope to be

"We are leaving for Nome after a
short stay to enter the ice around

probably will take us five years. All
well and happy. (Signed)

For Two Days Oregon Man Pre
sides as Speaker While Import
ant Bill Is Considered.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, April 30. At the con
clusion of two days' service as presid
ing officer of the committee of the
whole house on the state of the Union,
Representative McArthur tonight re
ceived a tremendous ovation by prac
tically the entire membership of the
house when the committee arose and
he made his formal report to the
speaker. The bill under consideration
yesterday and today was the Sterling
Lehlbach civil service retirement
measure, which the house promptly
passed after Chairman McArthur made
his report.
During his two days in the chair
Mr. McArthur demonstrated marked
ability as a presiding officer. His
decisions were prompt and just; he
maintained better order than has ex
isted in congress since the days of
Speaker Reed, and he drove the house
at a high rate of speed. Old-timers in
congress said tonight that Mr. Mc
Arthur is probably the most forceful
and effective presiding officer that
congress has seen in a generation.
His strong, clear voice is a big factor
in maintaining order.
This is the. first time that Speaker
Gillett has called any far western
member to the chair during the con
sideration of an important measure.
Mr. McArthur has heretofore occupied
the chair on several unimportant oc
casions, but yesterday and today gave
him hia first real opportunity to dem
onstrate his worth as a presiding of
ficer. Garden Home Children Marry.
VANCOUVER, Wash., April 30.

Esther M. Peterson, 16, of Garden

please? Not all of us can go to Cuba

country."
JohiiOD Wins Ob Street.
The street vote showed Johnson the
republican favorite, with Hoover a
close second and General Wood third.
McAdoo led the democrats, while Wil
son and Edwards tied for second place.
The detailed vote was as follows:
Hoover 17, Hughes 3, Johnson 21,
Lowden 3. Pershing 1, Taft 3, Wood 7,
Bryan 2. Edwards 3, Hitchcock 1,
McAdoo 6, Palmer 2, Wilson 3.
At the establishment of Sherman,
Clay & Co., the vote was: Hoover 6,
Johnson 9, Lowdcn 4, Taft 2, Wood 2,
Wilson 1.
In the cigar stores poll, two men
at otie place flatly refused to vote,
saying it was against their policy to
discuss politics, religion and family
affairs.
One man voted for Johnson, but
said he thinks Johnson "has no
chance." He mentioned Taft or pos
sibly Hughes as likely to be the
"dark horse."
One man said: "Oh, I don't care
who's elected, just so it ain't an ex-'
general. We don't want a military
man."
. One man in frJr.t of the counter
said he was for Wood. The man be
hind the counter said: "Say. any old
time I vote for a military man there'll
be something doing." "What's the
idea?" asked the first. "Why should
we want a kaiser?" the other retorted.
"Well, haven't we got something
worse, now?" fired back the first
man. "Wilson is little less than a
king." "Tou can say I'm for Wood
with bells," he continued.
The cigar stores poll showed the
following: Hoover 1, Johnson 12,
Lowden 2, Wood 7, McAdoo 1.
A vote taken at the United States
National bank upon tie initiative of
the firm, resulted as follows: R. W.
Schmeer 2. Hoover 55, Wood 40, John

ORPHEUM GIRLS PRETTY
BEAUTIES TO BE OX BILL THAT
OPENS TOMORROW. m
'Flashes" Will Be Headline Act
'and Is. Reported to Sparkle
With Wit and Fun.
A show praised as being doubly
attractive on account of the presence
of a dozen pretty girls in the various
acts is to he the Orpheum's offering
a( the HeMig theater, beginning with
the matinee tomorrow. This show
will close its Portland engagement
with the performance next Wednes
day afternoon.
"Flashes," the headline act, with
Doc Baker, celebrated protean artist,
as the star, is a revue of fun, fads
and fashions, and eight pretty girls
take part in the vivacious entertain
ment written especially around the
lightning-change talents of Baker.
" "Flashes" is all that the versatile
press agent claims for it," said a
newspaper reviewer in Seattle. "It is
the principal feature on . a bill of
high-class attractions. Sparkling with
wit, backed up by a wealth of setting
and elaborate costumes, the company
includes a beauty chorus of really
pretty girls, who are very much in
evidence throughout. There is an ec
centric dance duo, who introduce
something new in stepping, and a
series of mystifying lightning cos
tume changes. Doc Baker, noted pro
tean artist, stages this number sup
ported by Polly Walker, Bud and
Jack Pearson and eight fashion girls."
The extra attraction of the girl
show is Wallis Clark, actor of note,
who with a capable little company
offers a playlet called "What We
Vant Most." This is a gripping
sketch exceptionally well acted and
a pleasing song number is intro
duced by Miss Devah Morel.

Herbert Hoover was high republic
an among the employes of the O.-W.
R. & N. offices, Major-General Leon
ard Wood was second and Hiram W.
Johnson was third, in the largest
vote canvassed in any one day of The
Oregonian s informal poll for choices
of presidential candidates which was
recorded yesterday. The canvass was ,
taken of employes of the Oregon- J

company, in the Wells-Fargo build
ing; the men in the plant of the Pen-
insula Shipbuilding company, on the
street at Second and Alder and Broad
way and Morrison, at various cigar
stores and Sherman, Clay & Co.
William Gibbs McAdoo proved to
be first choice with the majority of
the railroad employes who voted dem
ocratic ballots, with Woodrow Wilson
as a strong second. Five democrats
voted for Hoover and one for Henry j
Ford. !
The vote in the railroad offices was
taken with the co-operation of George
F. Koch, president of the employers'
association and totaled 442 votes, 354
of which were republican and 88 dem
ocratic. There are approximately 650
members, of whom 100 are minors.

The detailed vote follows: Coolidge

Poindexter 1, Taft 21, Wood 7Z, La
Follette 4, Bryan 3, Edwards 5, Davis
1, Hoover 5, McAdoo 48, Wilson 25,
Ford 1.
In the plant of the Peninsula Ship
building company, Johnson "was the
whole show," as one man stated it.
His lead over all other candidates
there was overwhelming. . Hoover
came limping along in second place,
with Lowden a weak third; General
Wood received no vote.
The detailed vote: Johnson 115,
Hoover 17, Lowden 4, Hughes 1, Ed
wards 5, McAdoo 6, Wilson 1.
Many were the comments made by
men who were approached on the
streets in the vicinity of Second and
Alder and of Broadway and Morrison
during the day. All sorts of individ
uals were asked for their choice and
most of those queried responded, al
though in several cases a gruff,
"nothing doing too busy,": or some
such remark was heard as men hur
ried along after being told, what was
sought.
"Wait for Convention," Advice.
"We elect men to say who shall be
candidates," remarked one well
dressed man, "and why should I
worry about nominees now? Let the
convention decide and then we'll know
what to do."
"We've got a dandy chance to have
a coast man for president this time,
and if we throw it away we don't
deserve to have another. I want Hi
ram put that down."
"I want a western man, too," said
another man, who was with him, "but
I do not prefer Johnson. I favor Hoo
ver. Hoover will give the Pacific
coast a square deal, for he spent a
lot of his boyhood right here in Ore
gon and got a lot of his, education at
Salem in the days when he was an
office boy. I vote for him."
"My vote goes to Governor Ed
