BRYAN MEN ALSO ACTIVE Governor Chamberlain, OHle James, George Fred Williams and Others Will Continue "Work Began by Senator Gore. .jtent on routing General Apathy, who la aald to be fighting against the success of the Republican ticket In November, Secretary McArthur, of the state ct ntra( committee, announces that one of the b!est rallies of the campaign will oe held In Portland within a short time. In fact the exact date Is Tuesday. October C Then it is that Joseph W. Beveridge, whose name fe almost a household word throughout the country, due to his ora torical ability and his services to his party on the platform, will address a hi demonstration at the Armory. The Armory has been secured for the occasion and plans are being maae which are expected to secure a large attendance at the rally. It is hoped to secure reduced rates on the railroads from outside points so that out-of-town people will be Induced to come to Port land for the occasion. Special music will be engaged to add to the enthusiasm. Additional speakers will be secured to help Mr. Beveridge flay what to him appear to be the misguided policies es poused by the talkative Nebraskan in the present campaign. Expect Kesnlt9 From Rally. Taffs claims to the position of Presi dent will be set forth by Mr. . Beveridge and the voters tinged to support him. It Is expected by the Republican organiza tion in the state that Mr. Beveridge's coming will accomplish no little, good in lining up the state for the party candi date. This Is the next big rally that is planned by the state committee. It is the Intention to inject enthusiasm Into the campaign by this means, for after a stirring call such as Senator Beveridge may be expected to voice. It is believed there will be scarcely a Republican with soul so di-ad that he will not enlist him self in the work of active campaigning for Taft. Democrats will have to stand aside for a while and let the limelight play on the Republican meeting, for that has the call. Then they will have an inning, for about October 15 Governor Chamberlain will make a campaign address in Port land. Encouraged by the success of the rally at the Armory Friday night, which was addressed by Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, the Democratic campaign managers promise to Import some more talent from outside the state, which Is guaranteed to electrify the voters. Ollie James, the Kentucky Congressman and brilliant or ator, who played a prominent part at the Denver convention, will be here some time during October, and George Fred Williams, of Massachusetts, close friend of Mr. Bryan, will also apeak here be fore the campaign closes. It is thought that Candidate Kern, Bryan's running mate, will be unable to visit the state, although it was thoueht earlier In the campaign that he would speak here. Pleased With Gore Meeting. 'The Gore meeting at the Armory last nigh indicated the Bryan sentiment In this state," declared State Chairman Sweek yesterday. "It was the largest purely political meeting ever held In Portland to far In advance of an elec tion." County Chairman Thomas is also gloat ing over the fact that although he sup plied extra chairs at the Armory and made every effort to seat the people, so many came that several hundred stood In the rear of the building and In the galleries, while many went away unable to find room. On the strength of this showing the prediction wae made at Democratic head quarters yesterday that Bryan will get more votes in this state than Chamber lain received last June. Mr. Sweek Is perfecting the precinct organisations all over the state, and says nearly all the counties have started organising. Some what later In the campaign local speak ers will be started out throughout the state to make a final appeal for the Dem ocrat la candidate. Democratic Kally at Sellwood. Democrats will rally tomorrow night at Unlen Hall. East Thirteenth street and Tenlno avenue, Sellwood. to listen to addresses calculated to secure votes for Bryan and Kern. Judge Thomas O'Day will speak, as will E. S. J. Mc Allister. Sellwood Democrats are said to be at work actively for the party nominees and promise to make a strong showing on election day. Arranging Taft Rally. Arrangements are being made for a. Taft rally to be held Monday night In Hunter's hall, Sunnyside. under the aus pices of the Sunnyside Taft Republican Club. Mayor Rodgers. of Salem, will be one of the speakers of the evening, and there will be others. A large attendance 1 expected. Women of the suburb are Invited to be present. JACOB MAYER IS HONORED TEMPLE BETH ISRAEL PAYS HIM TRIBUTE. Charter Member of Large Congrega tion Is Second to Be Placed on Honorary Roll.

MILWAUKIE FAIR CLOSES Superintendent Ackerman Speaks to Grange on Education. J. H. Ackerman, State Superintendent of Pub(ic Instruction, spoke briefly yesterday at the Milwaukle Grange Fair, at the conclusion of Senator Ful ton's address, which is printed In full today on another page of The Ore gonlan. He devoted his remarks to the educational programme that has been adopted and sent out to the Granges in the state by State Lecturer J. J. Johnson. He urged Grangers to take up the subjects In these pro grammes and study them carefully, us ing the literature that would be pro vided by Miss C. Marvin, the State Li brarian. Mr. Ackerman remarked that the subjects were of great importance, and were in most respects of National character and worthy of the best thought of the members of the order. He said that the various educational committees would confer with the State Grange educational committee in No vember on matters pertaining to the betterment of the public schools. The fair came to a close last night with a successful ball in the City Hall. The following persons were specially active in making the arrangements: Mrs. M. A. Johnson, chairman commit tee of arrangements; Mrs. Dr. Castro, Mrs. M. L. Roberts, Miss Kate Casto, Mrs. J. M. Marks, Mrs. O. E. Fretag, Mrs. P. T. Davis, Florence Robblns, Mrs. Dora Quant, Mrs. Anderson, W. E. Bunnell, Mr. end Mrs. O. H. Hammond, J. Gertsen, John James, Captain J. P. Shaw, Mrs. Henry Andrews, Mrs. S. B. Llewelllng. The Grange extended its thanks to the Oak Grove Improvement Associa tion for Its fine general exhibit, which contributed largely to the success of the fair. Yesterday was barbecue day, a well-roasted ox being provided. Operations Expected to Begin Com ing Month Elgin Branch Will Soon Bo Com pleted to Joseph. Portland will benefit largely by rea son of new Railroads being opened up the coming month. Not only will the North Bank Road be thrown open to traffic during October, but the "Wallowa extension of the O. R. & N. will be put In operation about October 20 to Enter prise from Elgin. Trains are already running to Wallowa and construction beyond that point is going forward actively. Within a few days after the road is opened for traffic to Enterprise, the line will be completed to Jodeph, the terminus of the new feeder. The entire mileage of the new Hne is 63 miles and it will prove a valuable traffic getter for the O. R. & N.Tnain line, reaching as It does a rich, al though long neglected, section of this state. The whole length of the new road. It is expected, will be in opera tion by November 1. The latest mileage added to the Har riman roads in this state will provide transportation not only for the entire Wallowa Valley but also serve the towns In the northern part of Wallowa County, very materially lessening the team haul as compared with the old terminus at Elgin and will therefore prove very welcome to all the people In the Wallowa country. The freight department of the Harrl man lines is now at work on the neces sary tariffs and rates to be established, so they can be Hied with the Railroad Commission and become operative at the time the new line is ready to handle freight traffic in the new terri tory. It Is surmised that the Wallowa ex tension will eventually be pushed east and north to a connection with the Northwest Railroad, the line now under construction from Huntington along the Snake River to Lewlston. This also is a Harriman road, which Is taking ad vantage of the water grade along the Snake River canyon to reach Lewistqn and will make a route of easy grades for freight operation for overland traffic. The new Wallowa extension is a water-grade route and with the connec tion yet to be built to the Snake River line, an alternate route from Huntington to La Grande will be offered that will have all the advantages of a water grade, with the minimum of curvature and grades. This will save the haul over the mountains that Is now neces- VIOLIN MAKER DISPELS SOME OF PUBLICS COMMONEST ILLUSIONS Says One Kind of Wood Only Is Necessary for Instruments and That Age Hurts Rather Than Improves. w. W. OAKES, of Seattle, maker of violins that have been de clared by Kubellk, Kneisel, Tsaye and other violinists of world wide fame to be the equal of the old Cremona instruments and far superior to those of modern make. Is in Port land for a few days' visit with friends. Mr. Oakes was born in Ontario, Can ada, 75 years ago, and was engaged In vlolln-maklng ever since he came to this country at the age of 20 until about a year ago, when he retired from the business. During his long career as a violin maker Mr. Oakes had the rare opportunity of meeting all of the famous violinists of the day, and re call various Incidents which throw in teresting sidelights on the personali ties of those artists. . According to Mr. Oakes, the popular belief that violins of modern make are Inferior to the old Instruments is er roneous. He Is also emphatic In his assertion that violins can be made of any kind of wood, the quality of the Instrument being dependent upon the care used In Its manufacture, rather than upon the material used. Said Mr. Oakes: "in making a violin I do not recog nize much, if any, difference In the kinds of wood used. There Is a wide difference In the qualities of different woods. If two kinds of wood were employed and you attempted to treat them In the same way you would make a mistake, for no two pieces of wood can be worked alike and produce the same result. Each wood has Its own Individuality and must be worked ac cordingly. This can only be deter mined by the knowledge the . maker possesses of the qualities of the woods. For instance, it is a universal belief that you must have two kinds of wood for a violin. When a hard and a soft wood are to be used, a great mistake will be made if they are treated In the same way. It is almost fatal If you are working for the best possible results, for that consists in using only one wood. This is denied on every hand. It used to be denied to me, but I have proved by many trials and in vestigations that I am right. I have a violin made entirely of ebony. No maker would think of using such' a wood. While It Is an Instrument pos sessing beautiful tone. It is not heavy enough to answer all purposes. "Age has nothing whatever to do with a violin. The finest tones can be produced by a new violin. Extreme age cannot help but injure an instrument, because it passes down and out from the decaying of the wood. Many of our famous violins have become obso lete on that Account. Violins can be made of any wood. Some makers can construct a violin in ten days, some in four days. I cannot do that kind of work. The least time I ever put on a violin was SO days, and three months has often been consumed In making an Instrument. "In my work as violin maker I sup pose I have made 100 Instruments. I have learned as much from the recon struction of violins as in the making; probably more. I find there Is so much to be learned from the mistakes of others. I would neglect my own work for the sake of observing the methods of other makers. I would never have been able to do the work I have If I had not done this reconstruction work, because I could so accurately note the mistakes of others. "In over 250 violins I have reconstruct ed while In Seattle. I have never failed In making them from good to the very best known, regardless of how poor they may have been, nor would I make a fail ure in a thousand others, nor could I make a mistake In making a new one, unless I deliberately did so.'

Water-grade routes In a mountainous country are prime essentials for rail roads that handle heavy freight trains and all such avenues for traffic in the Pacific Northwest are being eagerly seized up by both the Hill and Harriman lines. Although the extension from Joseph to the Snake River, a distance of only about 20 miles, has not yet been author ized by the O. R. & N-. It Is expected by railroad men that this piece of road will be one of the early pieces of con struction undertaken by that company. finish Oars ix oregox fir. Rock island Will Take It Cp, Says President AVinchell. ' Pullman cars finished in Oregon fir Instead of the foreign hardwoods now in vogue in the ornate finishing of the best class of railroad sleepers will soon become an established fact, says Presi dent B. L. Winchell, of the Rock Island system, who left Portland yesterday afterno'on after spending several days in Portland on a vacation trip. Presi dent Winchell said that unless the Harriman lines hurry up the Rock Island will be the first railroad to fin ish Pullman cars in this wood. The head of the Rock Island lines visited the Commercial Club rooms yesterday morning and was charmed with the complete character of the club quarters, and particularly with their beautiful finishing In Oregon fir. He remarked on the splendid grain of the wood, when cut to the best ad vantage, and promised that the Rock Island will use the wood In future Pullman finishing. Oregon fir promises to become a favorite finishing material.
