REPUBLICANS PUN
FIRST BIG RALLY
Beveridge Expected to Fire
Party Loyalty of Voters
in Oregon.
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.

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.

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.

about 20 miles, has not yet been author

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

Harriman lines hurry up the Rock

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

Island will use the wood In future
Pullman finishing.
Oregon fir promises to become a
favorite finishing material. Mr. Harri
