BERRY GROWERS PROTEST
Price Cut Declared to Threaten In
dependent Marketers.
That the announcement of the plans
of the Co-operative Kerry Growers'
association of Gresham to put berries
on the Portland market at a cheap
price has proved demoralizing to the
market for berries . heretofore en
joyed by the small independent grow
ers, was the declaration yesterday of
F. B. Roe, berry grower of Multno
mah.
Mr. Roe said that this new an
nouncement, coming as it did after the
little flier in marketing strawberries
on the part of Fred Wright of Hub
bard, made it look as if somebody
was making an attempt to undermine
the small independent grower.
"We independent growers have been
enjoying a market of $1.55 for our
berries, but the announcement of the
Gresham association to put black
berries and loganberries on the
Portland market at $1.10 a crate has
destroyed what market we had," he
said. "It is impossible for independ
ent growers to sell our berries at the
price announced by the Gresham
growers, and I question if the
Greshamites will be able to do so."

LEGION CONVENTION
MARKED BK UNITY
Eugene Session Declared
Most Successful Yet.
DEMPSEY VICTORY BLOW
War Veterans Bap Liberation of
Albers and Demand Curb on
Japanese Immigration.
While there were differences of
opinion and minor fights, as there are
in most conventions, political and
otherwise, delegates returning from
the American Legion convention char
acterize the sessions in Eugene as the
most successful held' since- the ex
service men were organized in Ore
gon. The choice of Lane Goodell of Port
land was almost unanimous, all dele
gates being united in the thought that
his work as vice-commander of the
state organization during the past
year had qualified him for the com
mandant's position. Difficulty did
arise over the choice of adjutant. It
was a case of eastern Oregon, south
ern Oregon and the majority of the
Portland delegates pitted against the
Willamette valley delegates and a
faction of the Portland men, and the
latter faction with Edward Elvers, in
cumbent adjutant, won over Oliver
Houston of Portland.
According to Cassius Peck, past
commander of Portland post and a
delegate to the convention, no per
sonalities were Injected into the fight
against Eivers and it was simply a
question of efficiency in the office
of adjutant that prompted the Port
land men who waged the fight.
Dtmpstrt Victory Is Blow.
The legion united for a greater
Americanism and not only attacked
tne action or the office of the solicitor-general
of the United States for
the action taken in the liberation of
Henry Albers from trial but adopted
a resolution asking for more strin
gent regulations governing the immi
gration of the Japanese to this coun
try. The news that Jack Dempsey. whose
war record carries a taint, had won
the decision in the world's heavy
weight championship at Jersey City
by knocking out Georges Carpentier
came like a blow to the delegates.
They had previously sent telegrams
to the Frenchman expressing confi
dence and a hope that he would win.
The opinion among the delegates upon
learning or carpentier s defeat was
that America had lost.
German Films Target.
"The fact that a man was born In
America does not make him an Amer
ican, declared one of the delegates.
"The best test of citizenship is a wil
lingness on the part of the man who
was born in this country to fight for
that country when the need comes."
The convention expressed its disap
proval of the use of German-made
motion-picture films in this country-
many of the delegates declaring that
through the agencies of these films
the Germans were making an effort
to establish a system of propaganda
against the allies who fought side by
side with the American troops in the
war. The suppression of all forelgn-
.ouBuago papers was advocated in a
resolution. '
BARBECUE HELD OX McKEXZIE
Eugene Legion Entertains Dele
gates to Convention.
EUGENE, Or., July 3. (Special.)
With all official convention business
completed, the American Legion dele
gates of Oregon today enjoyed the
hospitality of the Lane county post
at a mammoth barbecue 30 miles up
the McKenzie river, at the state fish
hatchery.
Hundreds of automobiles were pro
vided for the 1000 or more delegates
and their friends and 1000 pounds of
barbecued beef and all the necessary
accessories for the big open-air ban
quet awaited the visitors at the upper
river gathering point.
The local lodge of Elks and the
chamber of commerce co-operated
with the ex-service men in enter
taining the legion visitors, and as
sisted in serving the big mess line
that formed at the cook .pits. To
night most of the delegates left for
their homes in various parts of the
state.
The following legionnaires last
night were initiated into the secret
societjy of "Forty Men and Eight
Horses": Harry Ord of Independ
ence,. George Wilbur of Hood River,
Mair A. Dano of Marshfield, Wallace
Benson of Reedsport, C. E. Elkstrom

At the Theaters.
Hippodrome.
A 1950 VERSION of the old-time
cake walk is the gayest and most
colorful stunt of the act of Irene and
Jim Marlyn. called "A Kaleidoscopic
Revue," which headlines the Hippo
drome programme of seven vaude
ville acts and a photoplay. Irene and
Jim have a variety of quick changes,
songs and dances. In their cake walk
scene their interpretation of what the
second next generation will demand in
the way of costumes, musjc and fancy
steps shows a direct continuation of
the present trend of the times and its
exaggerations are amusing and well'
taken.
Second place on the programme
might well be called a tie between
Marion Gibney and the Marshall and
Connors team. The latter are negro
comedians of the better sort, dealing
out real music and dancing, mostly
jazz, that gets a generous hand at
every pause. Marion Gibney's act is
called "By Proxy" and she has an ex
cellent line. She says Manager Ely
was short and sent down to Judge
Rossman to get an extra hand from
one of the judge's guests. She sits on
the floor and unpacks her suitcase
with a surprise at each garment she
draws forth, impersonating Judge
Rossman in a way that makes it seem
as though she actually were ac
quainted.
"A Drawing from Life" by Arthur
Sullivan and Cora Hall deserves its
name in characterization of the lov
ing, idle husband and tired, working
wife. Sullivan shows a humorous and
realistic knack of handling his worthy
syoua ta ft-business manager way.
that keeps him from working a well
taken satire on current times.
The McMahon sisters, Anna and
Eva, have voices better than the or
dinary run and give the popular songs
and jazzified folk songs together with
a variety of fancy dance steps.
Carmel Myers, in "The Kiss," is the
motion picture feature. The plot deals
with the love adventures of a young
Spanish girl, and the scene is laid in
old Mexico in the days of Spanish pos
session. Miss Myers, who is sup
ported by a strong cast, takes the part
of the plantation overseer's daughter,
who is in love with the owner's son.'
Lyric.
JULIAN ELTLNGE'S honors as a
female impersonator are still
safe, for although Al Franks appears
as a dancing princess in "A Miidnight
Masquerade," the new show at the
James Shelby Cooper, Independ
ence resident since 1SU3,
passes iwaj.
Lyric, the popular local funmaker
strives more for laughs than realism.
The scene in which Franks, as Ike
Leschinski. makes his bow in golden
curls and the gaudy raiment of an ori
ental dancer is one of the many fun-
filled scenes of a musical comedy of
fering marked by catchy music and
keen comedy.
In the nhow that holds the boards
this week, Clarence Wurdig Is the
manager of a big cabaret, where
Dorothy Raymond is the dancing
queen, Benny Broderick the hard
boiled head waiter, and Ted Howland
the star customer. The dancer gets
temperamental and quits the show,
and it is then that Ike does his side
splitting stunt as a substitute. The
thread of the plot is further tangled
by the snooping activity of Will
Rader as a disciple of Hawkshaw.
the detective. The sleuth has many
adventures in his search for some
missing pearls and a lost Indian
princess.
Song honors this week go to Benny
Broderick in a pleasing tenor solo.
My Boy." Will Rader presses him
closely for first place with his clever
interpretation of a comedy sons
about "Lena from Palesteena."
The Lyric trio, composed of Harlan
Thompson, Clarence Wurdig and
Benny Broderick, adds another hit to
the rapidly growing list of success
ful numbers given by the three sing
ers during the last few weeks. "I
Love Tou Just the Same, Sweet Ad
line," furnishes the harmony for the
boys this week, and they follow it
with a lively number called
"Sweeties," The feminine side of the
cast appears to good advantage in
the mUBical portion of the show.
Billie Bingham sings "Toddle," Dor
othy Raymond puts over Mello Cel
lo" and Madeline Mathews has "I'm
a Little Nobody that Nobody Loves."
All three are distinct hits.
Oaks.
AN innovation which met with
widespread approval amoi
. t il 1 . .. O.. -1-
Inaugurated yesterday in the "Pari
sian Follies." This new entertain
ment is a complete departure from
the established line of musical come
dies and musical stock offerings
which have been given each season
at the Oaks Park in the big out
door's theater. This year John F.
Cordray, manager of the park, fol
lowing the trend of the day, gave the
reins of this amusement depart
ment into the handling of a clever
and original woman director. Miss
Eva Gregory. She has evolved the
"Parisian Follies," bringing together
a company of 50 people, including the
orchestra members, the latter of
whom ae some of them players from
the Symphony orchestra.
The main point of difference in the
new form of entertainment and its
predecessors is that the "Parisian
Follies" is a musical revue, featuring
only singing and dancig specialties.
There is no plot nor sequence of ac
tion, and each number is a separate
and distinct novelty.
Miss Gregory directs every feature
and the attractive scenery and cos
tumes and lighting oddities reflected
both originality and knowledge of
the artistic
The show started promptly at 3
o'clock and is a snappy, rapid-fire
production lasting 45 minutes. Yes
terday an insistent demand- for en
cores for some of the specialties
lengthened the entertainment, happi
ly for the audience.
The programme consists of dances
in solos and by the chorus, and vocal
singing in duets, trios, groups and
ensemble. The scene is Venice by
moonlight, with colored fountains
playing, vari-colored streamers float
ing from a facade, and quantities' cf
gay flowers growing in tall boxes.
Marble steps lead to a lake, and one
of the prettiest bits is when a gon
dola, brightly glowing with Chinese
lanterns festooned along its prow,
glides along the lake.
Miss Gregory appears as soloist in
"Tell Me Little Gypsy" and in one
especially interesting number, "Just
a Week From Today," in which she
sings in ragtime of a coming wedding
day.
One of the delightful song episodes
that was recalled a half dozen times
was "Spanish Lou." sung and in
terpreted cleverly by Miss Gregory,
Lucile De Levar and Lucile Waldron,
who comprise the "Parisian Female
Trio." A feature of similar propor
tions was the specialty "Antonio."
sung by the Parisian Follies men's
trio, made up of J. T. Henderson,
H. D. Gatchett and Stanley Hicks.
The men's trio sings without the or
chestra and the blending of three
good voices makes delightful har
mony. Marie Clestine, ballet mistress,
dances away with terpsichorean hon
ors in the revue. She is a graceful
youthful artist, whose Venetian solo
revealed technique of high quality
and rhythm and dance knowledge.
Frederick Cutter registered with the
audience with his baritone singing of
My cavalier. Miss De Levar led
the chorus maids along the run-way
and made a personal success of
"Somebody knows and Somebody
Cares." The combined trios formed

ensemble brought all the company

heavy seas encountered on the trip
up the coast to Portland. Shortly
after leaving San Francisco the de
stroyers ran into a heavy gale and the
seas swept the little craft even to the
top of the stacks. For this reason
the little fleet was behind schedule
time in getting into the river. The
vessels anchored here Saturday night
at 6 o'clock.
Previous io the trip north the three
destroyers engaged in battle maneu
vers with the Pacific fleet.
While in Portland the officers and
men will be entertained by the Cham
ber of Commerce with trips out the
Columbia river highway and to other
scenic points.
Commander George T. Swayse Jr.,
in command of the Bruce, is also in
charge of the flotilla. The Zeilin is
commanded by Lieutenant-Commander
E. H. Connor and the Aaron Ward
by Lieutenant-Commander J. O. Hoff
man. The destroyers will be in Portland
harbor for a ten-day visit.
CALIFORXIAN SAYS HIGHWAYS
HELP DEVELOP STATE.
Edward Fletcher Tells How Value
of Property Near Traffic
Arteries Increased.
Development of highways Is the
most important step that Oregon can
take towards . financial prosperity,
according to Edward Fletcher of San
Diego, president of the Dixie High
way association, and a member of the
San Diego highway commission. Mr.
Fletcher is registered at the Port
land hotel, and has completed a mo
tor trip from San Diego via Eureka
and Crescent City to Portland.
"The people of this state cannot
fully realize the importance of high
way construction until they Btudy
the changes that have been made in
California by the extension of her
road work," he said. "California has
now 11,000 miles of perfect highways.

advancement of the state can best be
told by the report of the hotel asso
ciation, which showed that since the
road work had been completed hotel
business had increased 100 per cent.
Properties fronting on the highway
have doubled in value, and increasing
values have had their effect for five
miles.
"More than 300 eastern machines
travel into southern California each
day, and the records showed that last
year from October to April more than
16.000 machines went into California.
"We people of your neighboring
Btate urge that Oregon complete its
highways and connect up with the
east as soon as possible so that tour
ists may leave California in the
spring and winter months and return
east through this state. Highway
improvement is a business proposi
tion if nothing else."
Mr. Fletcher said that within a
short time the Dixie highway will be
completed from southern California
to Atlanta, thus giving tourists from
the east an opportunity to visit the
Pacific coast during the winter over
a route free from enow. He also said
that the California state highway
commission has available for con
struction and Improvement work,
84,000,000, this in addition to over
30.000.000 that the 64 counties have
available.
"The most important work Oregon
should do now in the way of high
way construction is the completion of
the road from Grants Pass to the
California line," continued Mr. Fletch
er. "This would materially Increase
tourist travel to Oregon."
