ILL CLUBS TO MEET
Northwest Commercial Bodies
Will Convene at Spokane.
UNITE IN PUBLICITY WORK
Portland Commercial Club and Spo
kane Chamber of Commerce Take
Initiative In Movement From
Which Much Is Expected.
The formal call for the Convention of
Pacific Northwest Commercial Bodies,
which meets at Spokane September 25,
"Was issued yesterday.
Delegates representing the different
commercial orders of Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana will take part.
The call Is as follows:
As the result of extended conferences held
at Portland and Spokane, under the aus
pices of toe executive committee of the Port
land Commercial Club and the publicity com
mittee of the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce, it was unanimously decided to hold &
convention at Spokane and Invite the co
operation of every commercial and Indus
trial body in the States of Oregon, "Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana to participate
through representative delegation.
Purpose of the Convention.
The purpose of this gathering Is to bring
together the representative men of this most
prosperous section of the United States, and
after thorough consultation unite upon a
plan to advertise the actual resources and
sot to exploit the peculiar advantages of any
of the cities.
In all this vast empire the greatest re
source is timber, the principal cereal Is
wheat, the chief fruit the apple, the great
est force water power, and the most neces
sary development Increased irrigation, while
mining and stockralsing are equally impor
tant. Every city and town in the four states is
equally interested in securing the home
builder, for it is only through Increased
population that we can develop these tre
mendous resources which are of necessity
the foundation upon which our cities must
be permanently prosperous.
The officers and active members of the
leading commercial organizations in the Pa
cific Northwest have discussed this meeting
and have promised to be present personally.
The lowest possible railroad rates will be
made, and the work of this convention will
he watched with Interest by the passenger
and Immigration officials' of all the trans-'
continental railroads, many of whom will at
tend. There is a universal disposition
throughout all this section of the United
States to have Its resources advertised Its
busiest and best men are ready to put up
their money and give their time.
It Is expected that the Legislatures of all
the four interested states may be induced to
make appropriations for advertising their
own peculiar advantages, and the law-makers
of the four states will be very much in
terested in the deliberations of this conven
tion, and for that reason all delegate are
urged to ascertain the sentiment In their im
mediate communities before coming to the
convention.
We are anxious that your locality should
be represented, and we trust that this call
will be taken as a personal appeal by every
community It reaches.
Hoping to meet you at Spokane, Tuesday,
September 25, we are. very cordially yours,
THEODORE B. WILCOX.
Chairman Executive Committee, .Portland
Commercial Club.
G. B. DENNIS,
Chairman Publicity Committee, Spokane
Chamber of Commerce.
FEDERAL JUDGE RETURNS
Wolverton Back From Montana, and
Will Hold Court Here.
United States District Judge Wol
verton returned from Butte, Mont.,
early yesterday morning, and will re
main here several weeks, or at least
-tluring the interim incident to the
temporary lull In the land-fraud trials,
after the pending case is finished.
Judge Wolverton and Judge Hunt, of
the district of Montana, exchanged
benches about six weeks ago, and
both have since experienced strenuous
periods in the dispensation of Justice
in their respective realms.
Judge Wolverton last night denied
that he had decided upon anybody for
Clerk of the United States District
Court as successor to E. H. McKee, and
declared that for the present he would
make no appointment. There are quite
a number of candidates for the posi
tion, and at various times rumors have
prevailed that one or the other was
about to secure the coveted place, but
Judge Wolverton pronounces these
reports without foundation.
ACCIDENT, JURY DECLARES
Inquest Held Over Body of Sadl
Miller, Boy Who Was Drowned.
The Coroner's jury summoned to in
quire into, the drowning of Sadi Miller,
the young lad who lost his life last
Wednesday in the presence of Chesney
Griffith, a boy companion, whose si
lence since the affair made It look sus
picious, returned a verdict of acciden
tal drowning.
After returning the verdict, the jury
recommended that Griffith be turned
over to the Juvenile Court for an In
vestigation, for it was plainly shown
at the Inquest that he withheld the
knowledge of the drowning for two
days and only told of what he knew
under promise of a reward.
In the opinion of Deputy Coroner
Arthur Finley and the jurors, Young
Griffith Is incorrigible.
