Drive for $300,000 Fund Is
Well in Hand.
WORKERS' MEETING SET
All Forces ActlTe in Enterprise to
Gather Thursday and Check
Over Results Achieved.
Executives of the Chamber of
Commerce drive for the $300,000
state development fund met yester
day afternoon and issued a call for
a general meeting Thursday noon at
the chamber of all forces active in
the campaign in order that an ac
curate check may be made on prog
ress of the canvass. Captains and
their teams will meet at noon today
for a luncheon that will be prelimi
nary to Thursday's meeting.
Abatement of the storm, It was
said, has made conditions much
more favorable for the early com
pletion of the drive. Work was said
to he progressing favorably in re
ports that came to headquarters.
Some of the workers said they would
have their returns complete by
Thursday, with 100 per cent results
to report.
Urgency of the enterprise was
recognized by all at the meeting,
and the situation was said to be
well in hand in the face of numerous
handicaps that have been overcome.
Opportunities at Band.
"Unless we take advantage at
once of the opportunities that are
presenting themselves, Oregon is
going to miss a mighty fine chance
to reap a harvest from the eastern
tourists who already are beginning
to travel westward," said President
Mielke of the chamber. He was em
phasizing the necessity of immediate
action on the part of the chamber
in carrying out its state-wide de
velopment and advertising plans. He
Insisted that the time is ripe and
that there should be no delay in
presenting Oregon's advantages and
attractions to those the chamber
would induce to come here.
"If we are to do anything along
this line," said Mr. Mielke, "we must
do it now. The Chamber of Com
merce, through its general manager,
W. D. B. Dodson, is keeping in close
touch with the situation in our wide
awake neighboring states and is
watching every move made by their
chambers of commerce and promo
tion bodies. We have no thought of
Interfering in any way with their
activities, but they have some very
effective plans which they are carry
ing out and these are extremely in
teresting to us.
California Rrnpi Profit.
"For instance a Los Angeles
banker upon his return recently
from an eastern visit reported that
thousands ot people already are pre
paring for trips to the Pacific coast
and in fact many now are on the
way west. The winter tourist travel
has set in and Los Angeles is pre
paring to take care of it. It is ad
mitted in Los Angeles that these
visitors will remain there only until
the severe part of winter has passed
then they will seek other points of
interest on the coast. We want to
be ready to reach out for them and
attract them to Oregon.
"Our efforts in this direction will
in no way interfere with our state
development programme. That Is of
the utmost importance and will be
undertaken with all the vigor that
chamber officials possess, but the
tourist feature is at hand and must
be seized. As an evidence of the
value of this class of business, the
manager of the Los- Angeles cham.
ber of commerce recently made the
statement that of the hundreds of
thousands of eastern people who
have come to southern 'California
to live, 60 per cent first came to
that section of the state as tourists.
We should have in a degree the
same experience."
STRONG ARMY IS URGED BY
GENERAL MacALEXANDER.
"Rock of Marne" Tells Chamber
of Commerce Members of
Peace Conditions.
America must get behind the
government with war-time enthusi
asm in times of peace to preserve
peaoe and prosperity in the nation,
said Brigadier-General U. G. Mac-Alexander,-
U. S. army, more fa
miliarly known as the "Rock of the
Marne," In addressing the members'
forum of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday on the "Needs of the
Army." "The need for American
ism has never been more accentu
ated than it Is today," he declared.
The speaker asserted that in his
opinion America's mistake had been
in leaving Washington, but that
now since the nation had taken a
hand in the great world conflict a
policy of maintaining an army must
be perpetuated. He described the
world war as a "suicide war for
the white race."
Charles E. Brown, general man
ager for Swayne & Hoyt, steam
ship company, explained the future
possibilities In the development of
a passenger and cargo service with
the east coast of South America
which would be possible for Port
land exporters and importers when
the new shipping board line opened
this direct trade route during the
coming year.
Mill "Dry Kiln Burns.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec 18.
(Special.) Fire, early Sunday morn
ing totally destroyed the large
shingle mill dry kiln and. contents
belonging to the McCleary Timber
company's sash and door plant. The
building lately had been used for
the storage of lumber and doors and
was well filled at the time of the
fire. Practically the whole factory
force fought the flames for hours,
the fire being extinguished at day
light. The loss was partially cov
. ered by insurance. The fire will not
interfere with the operation of the
factory.

MRS. KEY J. FORD.
Mrs. Ney J. Ford, wife of a cousin of the noted automobile manufac
turer, Henry Ford, is charged by two police detectives with having con
spired to have her husband killed. In an interview she is reportd as hav
ing told of her first marriage, at the age of 17, to Arthur Blemm, a rail
road engineer, and who started suit for divorce five years later. She
expressed great admiration for her second husband, Ora Hallett, Toledo
garage owner who divorced her, and extreme bitterness toward her pres
ent spouse.
ENGINEER CHOICE LIKELY TO
GO TO NEW BODY.
Retiring Commissioners Expected
to Leave Matter in Hands
of Their Successors.
While nothing of the sort has yet
gone into the records that may not
be made a matter of record, the
opinion has come to prevail at the
courthouse that the existing board
of commissioners will leave the
matter of selecting engineers to de
sign and supervise construction of
the new bridges in Portland to the
incoming board.
Commissioner Hoyt, retiring mem
ber, has all along been in favor of
leaving the selection to the new
commission. Chairman Rudeen at
first took the attitude that the task
might proceed with the consent and
co-operation of the commissioners
elect. More recently he has stood
with Commissioner Hoyt in the be
lief that, inasmuch as the new com
mission is the one which will be re
sponsible for erection of the bridges,
it might as well have all the say in
choosing the - engineers. Commis
sioner Holman, who also retires,
was eager to have a hand in pick
ing the engineers.
Nothing was done at yesterday's
session of the commissioners indi
cating that- they will attempt to
name the bridge engineers. As it is
less than two weeks until Holman
and Hoyt will retire and but three
or four meetings of the existing
board are scheduled, the belief pre
vails that it will pass the whole
matter over the forthcoming board.
The usual grist of letters recom
mending engineers who have ap
plied for the jobs were read yester
day. Aside from this there was no
mention of the bridge matter, one
new application for the engineer
ing jobs was received, coming from
Henry M. Morse, formerly of Port
land, but now located at Olympia,
Wash. He stated that he had been
in charge of construction .of steel
bridges for the Washington state
highway commission.
Roadmaster Eatchel was instruct
ed to authorize advertisements for
bids on 200,000 pounds of structural
steel needed in making the perma
nent repairs to the Morrison-street
bridge.
The commission voted to change
the name of the Brower road, in
road district No. 6, designating it
the Arthur Langguth road. Road
master Eatchel was empowered to
place bids on crushed rock from
Kelly Butte before the city authori
ties, now calling for Buch bids, at
the price of $1.60 a cubic yard.
CITY EMPLOYES SHIVER
Coldness Results Through Shut
ting Down Heating Plant,
City employes, upon arriving at
the hall yesterday morning, shivered
while the thermometer registered
less than 50 degrees of heat. It
was noon before the majority of the
employes could get down to work,
The coldness resulted through the
shutting down of the heating plant
at noon last Saturday and not ignit
ing fires until 6 oclock Monday
morning.
Mayor Baker called Superintend
ent Simmons, who said the heating
plant had been shut down under
orders of Commissioner Pier, who is
in charge of the city hall.
The mayor hurried ,to the office
of the commissioner, conferred with
him and afterward announced that
heat would not be shut off Saturday

SUIT FOLLOWS STABBING
$5280 Damages Asked for In
juries Charged to F. H. Amick.
. A sequel to the stabbing affray
which centered around the Labor
temple the night of October 16 ap
peared in circuit court yesterday,
when D. F. Green filed suit to col
lect $5280 damages from F. H.
Amick. The complaint cited three
or more wounds Green alleged were
inflicted by Amick and which he
said had practically Incapacitated
him for work.
Green said his right arm was
slashed and cut from the elbow to
the wrist; that he was stabbed in
the chest and that a slash across the
left . knee cut tendons and cords
which left him something of a crip

COASTER NEAR DEATH
Edgar fuller In Serious Condition
as Result of Auto Accident.
OREGON CITT, Or., Dec. 18.
(Special.) Edgar Miller, 11-year-old
son of Mrs. Helen Miller of this city,
was in a critical condition today
at the Good Samaritan hospital in
Portland as- the result of being
struck by an automobile while he
was coasting down Seventh street
here Saturday night. Little hope
was given for his recovery, since
infection had set in the wound.
In company with some friends,
the lad was coasting down Seventh
street, when a motorist struck the
boy. The driver fled without stop
ping. MURDER TRIAL OPENED
Victim's Coat and Vest Shown in
Case Against Kim Kee.
Trial of Kim Kee for murder in
the first degree, for the shooting of
Sue Loy last April, began yesterday
:n the court of Circuit Judge Mor
row. The prosecution placed eight
or nine witnesses on the stand and
introduced into evidence the coat
and vest worn by Sue and a re
volver used in the shooting.
Through introduction of the gar
ments, while Leo Goetsch, deputy
county coroner, was on the stand,
some effort on the part of the pros
ecution to indicate that Sue had
been shot in the back was evident.
This was fought by attorneys for
the defense. Their contentions, as
outlined in the opening statements,
are to be that Kim Kee shot in self
defense. "

Yale Professor Has Scheme for
Making Purchasing Power
of Coin Unchangeable.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 18.
At the hearing today on the Golds
borough bill to stabilize the dollar
the house banking committee was
told by Professor Irving Fisher of
Yale university that the rapid rise
and fall of commodity prices was
caused by a, state of monetary insta
bility which led directly to class
conflict.i
The gold dollar. Dr. Fisher said,
is fixed in weight and variable In
purchasing power. A dollar fixed ih
purchasing power and therefore
variable In weight, he declared, Is
needed.
Under the Goldsborough bill the
quantity of gold bullion represent
ing a dollar would be fixed from
time to time by computation and
the use of index numbers on whole
sale prices. Gold coin would be
withdrawn from circulation and
"gold bullion certificates" would be
Issued, payable in gold bars.
"Almost no one gains from rising
or falling prices," said Mr. Fisher.
"Either implies enormous social
wastes. Therefore to society as a
whole there is a great net loss, Just
as there would be from confusion
and uncertainty In the yardstick of
length or the pound of weight. Sta
bilizing the monetary units is a re
form on which all classes would
unite. If we add a few grains of gold
to the dollar. Just enough to com
pensate for the loss in the purchas
ing power of each grain, or take
away gold to compensate for gain,
we shall have a fully compensated
dollar, a- stationary instead of a
fluctuating dollar, judged by its
purchasing power."
Carmen Ruthlessly Wrecks
Life of Young- Soldier.

girls stream out of a cigarette
factory in Seville, their leader. Car

Carmen wreck Jo
se's life, for Car
men, though beau
tiful, is ruthless,
and to exercise her
power is all she
cares for. In the
Seguidille from "Carmen," which
Marguerite D' Alvarez will sing with
the Portland symphony orchestra, at
the Heilig theater Wednesday eve
ning, this gipsy girl finds it possible
to laugh as she boasts of
A fine young lad gone to perdition
I sent him there three days ago.
Yet this heart is in good condition.
And fain would choose another.
Jose is "the other," and to the
rhythm of the Seguidille, a fantastic
Spanish dance, Mme. D' Alvarez will
sing the song in which Carmen
brings Jose under the spell of her
maddening personality.
It is interesting to compare the
"frank, intense, characteristic mu
sic" of this Spanish opera with the
character of its composer, George
Bizet. Of Carmen, Philip Hale says:
"This vain, reckless gipsy sings no
idle words. Each tone stabs. There
are here no agreeable love passages.
Bizet's sole object is to tell as di
rectly and forcibly as possible a
tragedy of universal and eternal in
terest." Yet this young and fiery master
of realism (Bizet died at 37) was
personally the tenderest of men
trustful, open, good "firm, even ex
travagant, in friendship." In an
early letter to his mother he wrote:
"I wish to love you always with all
my soul, and to be always, as today,
the most loving of sons," while "his
devotion toward his wife was such
that she told Gounod there was not
one minute of the six years of mar
riage which she would not gladly
live over."
