CHICAGO VISITORS EVERYBODY IS HAPPY You Are Welcome to Credit LOUD IN PRAISES Liberal Discount for Cash No Limit to the Compliments Bestowed by Excursionists From the East. Folding Furniture THE CARNIVAL WAS A GLORIOUS SUCCESS - SEE GREAT FUTURE HERE 12 r lg&-t-i:0-na-i-JJF- Guests I7nite in Declaring This a City of Wonderful Present and Unbounded Promise -Warmth of Welcome Impresses All. Chicago business men had a hard time to. say all the nice things they wanted to about Portland In the lim ited time the excursion of the Associa tion of Commerce of the lake metropo lis stopped here Thursday. Before leaving late that night, however, lead lnsr members of the nnrt v' WpH an ' opportunity to express themselves In appreciation of their entertainment In Portland by the Commercial Club and the Rose Festival management, as well as discussing briefly their opinion of Portland's trade position among the Coast cities. In these interviews the visitors were most kind. Furthermore, they insisted they meant every word, they said. The speakers agreed that Portland marked the climax of the trip and that no other point visited on the way home could approach the hospitality extend ed here. Harry A. Wheeler, chairman of the Chicago party, was particularly com plimentary. In his response to the toast. "The Flying Squadron," at the Commercial club dinner Thursday night, he said: Charmed With Welcome Here. Personally I have known the hospitality of the Portland Commercial Club. Some of my friends who are on this delegation never having- been here are as surprised as I was a Tear ego at the splendid reception you afford your visitors. w believe Chicago is no ex ception In this respect, but we love to think that you are giving to us Just as cordial and Just as whole-souled a reception as you do to all of the others who visit your beautiful city. This morning . you met us with both hands outstretched, and every time we had a shake of the hand there was behind It the assurance of an honest and sincere heart In the cordial ity of your welcome. You have entertained us royally and so far as our delegation is con cerned, we find that our cup of contentment is full to overflowing. Ae to the purpose of this trip, that the business Institutions of Portland may not mis understand us, let me say that this delegation la upon a frientfly visit we have nothing to sell. TVe simply desire to know you better, to know your resources, to learn what you have to sell us, and what you may desire to purchase from us In return, and to cultivate a relationship between Portland and Chicago that shall continue and grow greaterln friend ship through all the years to come. The members of the delegation will bear out the statement that we have been conservative during the entire trip in speaking In the cities we have visited three fine sounding phrases. Most beautiful city." "Greatest in Impor tance." "Greatest In commerce," and "Great est In development." These things have In them to us a tinge of Insincerity and we have tried to avoid them because they all have jomethlng that Is great. But, last year, after visiting this city and returning to Chicago, it was my firm r-onvlctlnn that here at the Junc tion of the Willamette and the Columbia Rivers, with all the resources of your state ractlcally undeveloped, with the tremendous thlncs you men are capable of doing, and the plrlt with which you do tnem. that here was the place where If not the greatest city on the Pacific Coast, should be reared side by side with perhaps two other cities, one to the North and one to the South, a great future metropolis of the Northwest. Portland's Wonderful Knture. I believe the city of Portland occupies a site and has a destiny that Is greater than any other city on the Pacific Coast. Although that does not sound altogether conservative from the Chicago standpoint, I give It to you ae a personal opinion borne of a visit a year ago and the reconstruction of that Idea upon the basis of our visit today. I will not dwell upon your resources, your mines, your timber, your agricultural wealth, your fisheries and your port. All of these things you have as well or better than the other cities on the Pacific Coast, and there Is no question but that Tortland, . now that your rallroa.I development Is beginning and you have become absolutely the port of the Inland Empire, shall increase not only In your inland commerce and trade but your Oriental trade to a point that Tortland In the old days never dreamed to be possible. This delegation of ours on Its mission asks that you come and visit Chicago. We extend most cor.llally an Invitation to the Commercial Club or Portland to come in a body or to come singly; come as you will, and you will find s a result of this reception accorded us that there Is outstreached to you the same hearty hand, the same hearty hospitality, the same heart speaking to heart as has been accorded us In Portland. If you shall gle us the op portunity to greet you In our city. Impressed With City's Progress. John M. Hart, of John M. Hart Co.. wholesale hardware factory products. In speaking of the purpose of the pres ent tour, said: Our delegation representor, the Chicago As sociation of Commerce, are making this tour to secure a more accurate knowledge of the development and existing conditions in the great Northwest, and to create closer and still more friendly relations between this section and our city. Our visit is not made for the advancement alone of our Jobbers, our man ufacturers, our retailers, or any one class of our merchants, but for the interests of such classes of trade as will to the greatest degree benefit the city jf Portland and the city of Chicago as a whole. I am greatly Impressed with the evidences . of rrogress which I find In your city. The ehara.-ter cf your Jobbing Institutions In the hardware, paper, grocery and other lines evi dence the fact that a largo part of the goods consumed in thefe lines is supplied by your own Jobbing houses. In the natural order of things the Jobbers In this city must Inevitably be to an even greater extent the principal, if not the so source of supply for the retail merchants In that part of the Pacific Coast states naturally tributary to Portland. The Jobbers of Chicago and other central Western cttlesi cannot reasonably expect to retain any noticeable percentage of the trade In this sec tion on competitive lines of merchandise. The growth of your Jobbing . interests is the re sult of the growth of your population, which has been of a permanent and substantial na ture. Your development has not only been to your "r"- oeen oi immeasurable advan tage to Chlcaso and the entire country. What business has been lost by our city as the re sult of the creation or enlargement of your Jobbing Interests is more than made up for us by the increased consumption in your terr itory of articles which are manufactured in our city and which we will supply to your Job bers. For these reasons we are pleased to see the great development In the Jobbing Interests of Portland, and I believe it to be the spirit of the Chicago business world to !o everything in their power for the upbuilding of jour Job bing Interests.

"We have seen It and are charmed by the generous hos pitality of Its citizens, the beauty of its res idence districts and the evidences of Its com mercial prosperity. This is the land of promise. Nowhere In the United States can a younjp man with small capital or even without capital, find such golden opportunities. We have met here many of your citizens who came from Chicago. Bach of them is an ardent booster for Portland. None of them could be persuaded to return to tHe Cast. We leave your lovely city with regret. The fra grance and profusion of the roses which adorn its terraces, and the grandeur of the moun tain peaks which stand sentinel over it, will ever remain In our memories. 1 Typical of Best in America. Professor John A. Scott, professor of Greek of the Northwestern University, Evanston, 111., was enthusiastic In his praise of the citizenship of Portland He said: Portland is an ideal city; ideal because of its location on a river near the ocean, in a fertile valley, with a climate of unusual leniency and also because of its citizens which represent the elected blood from all the states. Xo other city in America has within its borders so many men who are typical of the best In American life, and it Is destined to become one of the very great cltiea of America. Eugene U. Klmbark. of the Paper Mills Company, Chicago, said: I visited Portland la 1905 with the first del egation of the Chicago Commercial Associa tion. The reception accorded us at that time was most pleasant, but -today you have sim ply overwhelmed us with your attention and your cordiality. The city of Portland has made moat remarkable Improvement and. de velopment In the past four years. You nave fine buildings and homes In abundance. Tour new residence districts) are wonderfully beau tiful. Your commeroe is developing rapidly and I cannot eee any reason why you will not continue to Improve and grow with the years to come. Your citizenship Is of the best and your Rose Festival is proof of that sentiment which J necessary for the best in life. Impressed, by Rose Parade. Charles Seegrars, president of the American Varnish Company, said: Portland, the City of Roses, as you call It, la wondertul. The parade of this afternoon was the finest I ever saw and I am only sorry that I cannot stay longer. The city is one with a great business future and It will be greater than we expect now. I have seen Kurope, but prefer Portland as a residence city and J- hope to return to It. Emile M. Despres, of the firm of res- pres, bridges & Noel, said: I have been most favorably impressed with the city of Portland. The hospitality of the members of the Portland Commercial Club has not been surpassed. I believe that as a com mercial city, Portland Is as firmly established In the N orthwest as the rock of Gibraltar. It has a great location, with both railroad and boat transportation. Portland is destined to be a city of 6W.0C0 within the next IO years. George G. Powers, of the Union "Wire Mattress Company, said: I am always particularly glad when mv business brings me to Portland. There Is a peculiar pleasure in doing business here. For some reason or other the buyers of this mar- net always seem glad to meet you. They meet you with an open hand and a pleasant smile and you Immediately feel that you are among friends. This wonderful city seems flowing with good fellowehlp and thla is not to be wondered at, for where will you find sucn environment, such a climate or ouch op portunity for business advancement? Pros perity seems everywhere. .The magnificent business district and the beautiful homes make this an Ideal metropolis. FAUCETS RON DRY Water Famine Vexes People in Suburban Districts.

At Sellwood a shortage was experienced especially In the vTlnir -ni spell there were times every day when ,, " . uniiiung coum not be had at all. It Is conceded that the only remedy L-I shorta6 la these sections is to restrict irrigation, as there can be. no re inforcing mains laid for aoms 1 come. . Along the Mount Scott line, which at VTHf?t S outslde th city limits, but which will become part of Portland July 1. then has been a great shortage at times, morning and evening, when there was no water for any purpose, owing to the heavy pull. There will be a. general concerted move ment by all the push clubs of the Seventh Ward at once to get a 24- or 30-lnch rein forced water main laid from the Mount Tabor reservoir to the Powell road, at the intersection of the Foster road. From that point this main will branch, one 12 inch pipe to be laid along the Foster road uinw io De laid to Sellwood. However, there is some doubt about a 24 inch main being large enough to supply this district, and some are advocating a 30-inch main to the Powell Valley road and larger branch lines. It is estimated that in the Seventh Wani, with the new Mount Tabor district to bo annexed July 1, there will be over 35,000 poople to sup ply at the start, without taking into con sideration future growth, which will be very great the next few years. A convention of all the push clubs will b? called at some time in the near future to consider and decide on the best way to proceed to get a supply of water adequate lor all purposes, to be held under the auspices of the Seventh Ward Improve ment League. An estimate will be ob tained as to the size of mains that will be required to supply this district for the next 10 years, as it is thought that it would be wasted effort to lay small mains .-. ... i " V mi niree years. There are several large additions newly laid out. Including over 750 lots of the Crystal Spring farm, on the Milwaukie road, which within the next two or three years will be built over, doubling the present population. Hence the Intention 1 to undertake to lay a reinforcing water How to Save Gas The answer is, get a gas stove or range that is up to date. The trou ble with most gas ranges is that they do not burn all the gas that passes through the burner. The gas is partly burned and partly decomposed. The result is that one-fourth more gas is used than is necessary, and the de composed gas that escapes into the room causes injury to the health of the housekeeper, who thinks that the fault is in the quality of the gas.

THREE STAGES TO BE RUN Heavy Travel From Forest Grove to Tillamook Expected. FOREST GROVE, Or., June 12. (Spe cial.) Big travel over the Wilson route into Tillamook is expected this Sum mer from this . city for there will be three stages in operation between this place and Tillamook City. The Wilson River road Is the most accessible moun tain road because of the lack of heavy grades and the umbrageous trees on each side of the road. McNamer & Wlrtz will run one stag-e, making the stop at . the Halfway House for dinner and making the trip In a day.

THEIR MEMORY REVERED PIONEERS' REUNION RECALLS OLD PORTLAND FAMILY. Men, Now Prominent, When Boys Were Taught by Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Abrams. In the memories awakened by the an nual gathering of the Oregon pioneers, many 'persons In Portland and from other parts of the state will call to mind the W. P. Abrams family, well-known espe cially In Portland, Corvallis and The Dalles, for intelligence, enterprise and sterling honesty of purpose and charac ter. W. P. Abrams and Sarah Levina Phelps were married In Hill, X. H., In 1842, shortly thereafter moving to Ala bama, where they resided until 1851, when they came to Portland, Or. Of three children born in Alabama, one died in early life; the other two, Mrs. Sarah Hogue, widow of Harvey A. Hogue, a long time business man in Port land, and W. R. Abrams. well-known In Portland and The Dalles, are at present visiting friends in this city. Mrs. Hogue resides in Boston with her son Chester and Mr. Abrams and family reside in Concord, Mass. The father. W. P. Abrams, died In Portland many years ago. Mrs. Abrams survived him until a few weeks ago, when she passed away. The family lived in Corvallis from 1855 to 1857, and made many friends. Port land again became their home until 1862, when they moved to The Dalles, where they were highly honored and appreciated for their activity In every , good work in moral . and social welfare. They were members of the Congregational Church, of which the late Rev. Thomas Condon, the noted geologist, was then pastor, w! P. Abrams was for several years super intendent of the Congregational Sunday school, which under his management! and that of his successor, Samuel L. Brooks, became known as the banner Sunday school of Oregon. Mrs. Abrams had a large class of girls, who greatly revered and loved her as teacher and friend. Later the family moved to Portland and me" raaiK. in acuve work in church and social life. Mr. and Mrs. Abrams ' became members of the First Presby terian Church, and the memory of their "bright, cheery and useful lives remains a sacred treasure in the church's his tory. Men like William M. Ladd and W. E. Robinson, who were members of Mr. Abrams" Sunday school class, and Fred erick V. Holman. Sprague Holman and Frank De Witt, who were members of Mrs. Abrams' class, will remember the positive Influence of the strong Christian character of these pioneer teachers upon their early lives. The late years of Mrs. Abrams' life were those of a "shut in" on account of physical infirmity. But her influence in creased rather than diminished. She held her friends with a strong, loving heart and when she could no longer go out in the world to see them they came to see her. Children were very fond of her. They visited her and were made better and happier by her winsome in fluence. Older friends sought her com pany and realized they were uplifted by her strong faith and helpful counsel. She was mother and sister and friend to old and young, and her light shone brightly through years of suffering to the last day of her earthly life, and her memory still sheds light on the pathway of many lives ennobled by her splendid example of Christian patience, her love of all good things and her fceautiful. sunny charac t r- retained to the last her interest in friends, in the church, in all plans for fne world s betterment and her children and grandchildren rise up and call her blessed. It is good to call to mind the memory of such a noble character as that of Mrs Abrams. and to remember that to such as her Oregon is Indebted for what ever of good Is being built upon the foundations so well laid for moral and spiritual progress in church and state I Girl Wins Scholarship.
