Upon Portland With Song
and Noisy Greeting.
GOOD FEELING CEMENTED
Portland Hotel I Scene of Merry

of Quips and Jests Prank
Rrln Ixnd Apln.
Wtin every member of the Portland
A1 Club grows to be a old as Methu
selah he will troke hla grUsled beard
and tell of the day In which he helped
moke history,- And he will look back
upon the arub-ineetln" and can tyln
exhibition of lam night at the Portland
Hotel, under the guise of the annual
banquet, a the lime In which the club
rhlpped a deep notch In the revolver of
fame for the "kllllnl" It made.
The r'rnl wn marked by the union
of Portland and Seattle aa the two
blades of a pair '.f scissors, able to cut
anything they may encounter.
Ti Blades Are Jolaed.
Tlie union was riveted hard and fast
when l members of the Seattle Ad
riub. hearlnK torches of red. wearing
Portland roses and shouting In clarion
rrles the twin calls of "Potlach" and
"Rose Festival." swooped on the ban
queters with the two separate symbolic
blades and In presence of over &00 en
thusiastic clubmen of both cities sol
rmnlv fastened together the two pieces
of steel that denote perfect co-operation.
Nearly six hours the banquet lasted
six hours In which merriment ran to
Its keenest pitch, in which cltlsena of
both Portland and Seattle were grid
Ironed In a manner so vigorous and at
the ame time so jovial, that they dared
not take offense.
A slate ran the full length of one
sl!e of the bamiuet-room. It was set
to represent a "typical" stage. The
Oreronlsn building loomed up and ad
vertising slgna of every nature mads
their silent plea for business. On this
stage tha stunts were performed and
the "speeches" delivered, although In
reality there were no speeches, for the
men who had come with carefully
prepared addrese found that they
ould rot make themselves heard
igalnst an uproar of humor and good
fellowship.
Maw-Ma Adda te Ila.
The Portland diners were barely
seated, when to the music of a brass
band, the heavy Seattle contingent,
attired In smocks of spotless white,
rotlatrh "bugs" on their breasts and
busbies of the same on their classic
brows, marched In. "With them they
rarrled an enormous electric yell-ma-king
machine, and whenever there was
a pause for a moment the blare was
let loose upon the audience.
So enthusiastic. In fact, were the
banqueters that for a block Morrison
street was crowded with people stand
ing Just to listen to the strains of fun
that percolated throuch the windows.
UrsrketT-As. Co-As. Co-Ax.

Potlatch Bus.
It was the first yell of the Seattle
men an.! it brought down the house
w ith a seat that It seemed nothing else
could have equalled. The men from
Puget Sound had lungs like leather
and voices like brass cymbals. The
-esult well, it was Indescribable.
r-arrragettea Oa serse.
Before anyone could recover from the
sho. k. the suffragette parade entered.
Uystere were swallowed hurriedly In
amassment as the apparitions appeared,
will F. I.lpman. as a burly woman po
liceman, was in the van. and follow
ing closely In his rear were others. '
some of whom were recognised be- I
neath the rouge and pettlroata as O. K.
Jeffery. Pal Zllley. Harry C. McAllis
ter and C. A. Whltemore.
Piquant were the banners they bore:
"We lore our husbands, but oh you
l-afferty."
ln getting voes for women, the hat
pin Is mightier than the aword."
"We demand all ad writers be
women."
"We Insist upon women policemen,
women street cleaners, women firemen
and women conductors." and others of
like Ilk.
Just then the following telegram
from the Seattle Ad flub arrived:
"We are consigning you 50 of our
best little hosiers. For the love of
Mike send them home In good condi
tion. Those of us who can't be with
you will be among those present at tfle
big show, the only Kose Festival,

And this was the reply Retiring Pres

"Your boosters In good condition. We
decline to send them home in any con
dition. We congratulate Seattle on its
broad spirit of Pacific Northwest lead
ership as manifested by boosting for
all the Northwest csrnlals. and we
pledge ourselves to boost and take a
special train to the Potlatch."
Then the Seattle crowd sang:
-They say that old Portland she
ain't got no style ehe'a style all the
while." And then" the' noise-making
machine screeched.
And as they sang a replica of the
old totem pole from pioneer Square. Se
attle, winked electrl.ally-operated eyes
at the host of wildly-applauding Ad
men while the Seattle men showed
proudly their "bugs." bearing the In
signia. "1 am a bug checked to Tncle
Oeorge Hutrhln."
Seattle's songs about Portland and
about Seattle, about the Rose Festival,
the Potlatch and every other conceiv
able thing, were cheered by Portland,
and there could have been nothlne
more striking that when Philip Tlndall
said that "united. Portland and Seattle
ran trim anything on earth." at the
same time calling on Frank A. Loom Is.
now of Seattle and formerly of Port
land, to rivet the blades, which formed
part of the carload of stunt "props" tha
Seattle delegation brought with them
for the fray. Then Stuntmaster H.
"Waters Johnston led the cheering for
both cities.
Merrick la Appealed Te.
The suffragettes hailed Postmaster
Merrick as a recent convert to their
tauae and pleaded with htm that he
would do what he "knew to be right In
this, their hour of need."
In the guise of a Chinaman, smoking
rigarettea and "yenahee" at one and the

Iwvld N. Mosessohn. retiring president-
then delivered the address of
welcome. In which he told of the ac
cession of the club's membership from J
10 to 350 in a year. He Introduced A.
G. Clark, who was given a Gipsy Smith
salute with napkin. Mr. Clark Is the
Incoming president, who was Initiated
last night. ,
Jn the course of the Ad Club dinner
David N. Mosessohn was presented
with a gold watch and chain by the
members of the club as a token of their
appreciation of his tenure of office as
president.
Mofer Tries te Talk.
Tha first real man gridlroned was
Colonel Hofer. He was Introduced as
Oregon's rainmaker. His speech was
to be on "Oregon Manufactures."
He started to talk. It was something
like this: "Unaccustomed as I am"
(violent uproar speaker removes his
coat) "to public speaking" (speaker re
moves his vest and rolls up his trousers
at still greater applause) "er-er-er."
"Three Cs" Chapman rises. "I have
a telephone message from O. C. Letter,
city editor of The Oregonlan. He says
Hofer sent his speech in and he has it
In type: can he release it for the first
edition?"
And then the Colonel gave up.
Here is an extract of the speech
which he handed to the press table:
An Intelligent discussion of the subject

P'lke" Davis Jumped up and yelled
against the yells. He, said he was as
good as any Beattlelte and defied their
yells. More yells but 'Tike" Davis'
yell outyelled the other yells.
"We Elks." he said, "are going to
erect on top of the biggest mountain
In Seattle an electric sign. ISO feet
high, to yell about the Elks' conven
tion here.
J. Frank Hennessy sang the Portland
Elks' song. Tom Richardson entered
on a train of cars. "St. Paul." he
shouted. "Oregon is the greatest

est next stop Washington. I say.
Portland. Oregon. Is." And even he
had to give up.
Jimmy Dunn, a bonnle laddie In

"We do all the work. The ad men

But Patrolman LJpman hove In the
offing and with his staunch club ended
any further speech.

I'lsgulssd as one of "Pop" Merrick's
mallcarrlers. with a mustache shaved
aa a disguise. Harvey O'Brien entered
with letlera. He said the Postmaster
had ordered that all letters be read
aloud. Merrick had to read hla from
the chair. He looked gravely at his
chair, tested It with one ponderous
foot, and said he would be blanked If
he would. Hla letter contained an or
der from John D. "Rottenfeller" for
postage stamps at bargain rates.
Scores of those present had their
weaknesses parodied in biting com
munications, and while this was In
progress the hand struck up and "BUI"
Strandborg and George Baker danced
a "bunny hub." The diners covered
their eyes In horrified shame.
Cartoonist Llndsey took the stage,
injected "dope" Into his arm, then In
rapid succession he sketched David N.
Mosessohn. A. G. Clark. W. C. Bristol.
D. O. Lively, T. B. Wilcox. H. Waters

"Pat" Merrick, his 4-year-old son and
heir: ex-Mayor Gill, of Seattle, and
others. The caricatures were all rec
ognised with appreciative cheers.
The Seattle Spirit, a ghastly shade In
white, composed of "gall and nerve."
took the stage. Ohlln Jones was the
spirit, and he asked for various things,
among others a "square meal for C. B.
Merrick."
The Seattle contingent distributed
heaps of literature, with songs And
yells, as well as their bugs, which ad
vertised all the Portland. Seattle and
Tacoma carnivals. The Portland Ad
Club had a programme which was a
delight. It caricatured club members
and made piquant Jokes about every
one. Darkness Adda ta Mystery.
Installation of officers was con
ducted In an atmosphere of mock
mystery that would have done credit
to the ritualistic ceremonies of the
middle ages. Officers-elect were led
upon the rostrum to the strains of
music sweetly suggestive of the
"Streets of Cairo." played by Man
dollnlsts Edwin Bo r gum. L. F. Hartung
and O. L. Stout, of the Seattle Ad Club.
"Spot light"' commanded the master
of ceremonies, and Instantly the room
was darkened, and the new officers
fidgeted uncomfortably under the full
glare of a calcium light.
G. M. Hyland. M. Mosessohn and J.
T. Yarnell. disguised In black robes
and flowing white beards as "chief
ad faker." "vice ad faker" and "con
ductor." read In deep voices the ritual
of the Initiation ceremony, all In
rhyme, with clever personal hits at
the new officers and other members of
the ad club.
Charles Moore and A. C. Black, first
and second vice-presidents, and M. W.
Hard, secretary-treasurer, were given
equally unique oaths, and the execu
tive committee. C. F. Berg. W. C.
Campbell and William Knight, were
sworn Into office collectively.
David Mosessohn. the retiring presi
dent, was led onto the rostrum to re
ceive the degree of past president at
the hands of Ad Faker Hyland. while
the quartet musically besought him
to "Come Back to Erin" and work for
home rule In the Emerald Isle.
Gavel Is Preaeated.
The Seattle Ad Club sprang a aur
prlse Immediately after the inaugura
tion of the officers, when 1L W. John
ston, of Seattle, formerly a member of
the Portland Club, preaented President
Clark with a gold-bound gavel from
the Seattle men, declaring: "If there's
any knocking done between Seattle
and Portland in the future It will have
to be at your end of the line."
Impromptu speeches by J. A. Spang
le r. of Seattle; J. F. Douglas, of Seat
tle, and E. L. Webster, ex-klng of the
potlatch, closed the programme of the
evening. The crowd dissolved amid
cheers and slnglns. In which the
voices of the Seattle men rang loudest:

CREW OF THAYER
IS IN GRAVE PERIL
Sinking Vessel's Call for Help j
Heard; Means of Rescue
Shut Off by Gale.
SEVEN MEN ABOARD CRAFT
Steamer President Gels Wireless
Message IVoin Disabled Boat Off
Kureka and Kclays Xewf Tug
In able to Go Out Over Bar.
EUREKA. Cal.. Jan. 13. A crew of
seven men are threatened with death
aboard the American schooner C. A.
Thayer, which lies tonight 20 miles off
Humboldt bar, leaking badly and mo
mentarily in danger of sinking. Ow-
' ins to the roughness of the Humboldt
bar. the schooner's calls for help so
far have not been answered as a heavy
fog combined with the rising sea makes
It extremely perilous for a tug to try
to venture out. The schooner Is too far
distant for llfeeavera to render aid.
The first intimation "of the Thayer's
plight reached Eureka at 7 P. M.. when
a wireless message was received from
the steamer President, reporting that
the schooner was In distress and ask
ing that a tug be sent to her assist
ance. The President, evidently believ
ing that aid would be dispatched to the
boat immediately, continued on Its way.
The Table Bluff wireless station re
ported at P. M. that the President
had steamed off and that with her de
parture all .communication with the
sinking schooner had been lost. The
last meesage given by the President
was that the Thayer was settling low
In the water and was In urgent need of
help.
A tug was prepared to go to the
schooner's relief at the first news of
the disaster, but it was found Impossi
ble to cross the bar while the fog held.
The Thayer left Oravs Harbor nine
days sg". bound for San I'edro. with
400.000 fet of lumber. It Is Judged
by meager wireless reports that the
vessel struck one of the gales which
have been raging off the coast recently
and that the heavy buffeting of the sea
opened her seams. The trouble grew
rapidly worse and the vessel soon be
came waterlogged and unnavlgahle.
The Thayer Is too far out to be In the
course of vessels running Into Hum
boldt Bay. but other coastwise vessels
probably will be in the vicinity of the
distressed boat some time tonight. Un
less the tug here In able to clear the
bar tonight it will proceed to sea with
the first streaks of daylight. The
Thayer was built on Humboldt Bay In
1895 and had steadily engaged in the
coasting trade.

Two other lake boats, the Georgia
and the Iowa, of the Goodrich line, be

They started on their regular trip up
the lake, with Instructions to run
close fo the Ice-locked craft, to see If
they could be of aid. A crevasse
opened before them and they ran Into
It, only to nnd It a "blind alley" of ice,
and they were caught before they
could get out.
Wireless reports from the Indiana
Indicated there was enough food and
fuel aboard that craft and the Kansas
to last a week and that the lack of
wind had robbed the situation of dis
comforts, but the approach of wind
meant great danger and possible disas

blocks an opportunity to freexe to

boats. ,
Officers of the companies owning the

DAYS OF BATTLE RECALLED
Address Is Made at Taylor-Street
Churcli Adjutant-General Koch
Is Also Heard Visitors Will
Go to Tacoma Today.
The stirring days of '61, with all tha
fury of the firing line, the rattle of
the musketry, the booming of the can
non and the calls of the bugle were
lived over last night by 200 hoary
haired veterans of the Civil War. who
gathered at the Taylor-street Metho
dist Church to greet the National com
mander In chief, Harvey M. Trimble, of
Princeton. III.; Adjutant - General
Charles R. E. Koch, of Chicago, and
Mrs. Cora M. Davis, of Union. Or., presi
dent of the National Woman's Relief
Corps, who were visitors here yester
day. Many a tear dropped from the eyes
of the aged veterans as their leader
recounted the struggles of the '0s. and
followed the line of march of the old
soldier boys from the earliest battles to
theurrender of Lee, giving incidents
of hardships which are now fond
memories to every veteran who served
in the famous campaigns. The present
was forgotten the aged fighters re
veled In the memories of the past.
Commander-in-Chief Trimble and the
other visitors arrived In the city yes
terday morning from Loa Angeles,
where they have been for several days
past looking over the arrangements
which have been made for the coming
Grand Army encampment. Having
found every arrangement being made
for the comfprt and welcome of the
veterans during the encampment, the
leaders are making a tour of the West
visiting with the various posts and en
joying lively camp meetings. Alter
last nights meeting the members of
the party left for Tacoma, where they
will be guests of the Washington Post
today. They will go from there to
Spokane, thence to Helena, Butte, Salt
Lake City, Denver, and on East to Chl-
"The visitors were met at the Union
Depot yesterday by a committee com
posed of R. C. Markee. G. A Caukln.
C A. Williams and Thomas A. Jordan.
They were taken to the Imperial Hotel,
where a reception was held, during
which the Commander shook hands
with the Oregon veterans and their
friends. An automobile ride was taken
over the city later, and the party re
turned to the hotel for an Informal
luncheon at 6 o'clock.
The meeting last night was highly
Interesting and impressive. About 200
veterans, bent and gray, sang the
stirring old campflre songs with as
much vim as they did 60 years ago.
and cheeredSwlth wild enthusiasm the
words of the commander as he re
counted the days of old.
"We are getting old," said the com
mander, "and our ranks are being
thinned down rapidly. I believe statis
tics show that a Grand Army veteran
'dies every 15 minutes. So you can see
that it cannot be long till we will all
bb gone. But we will not be forgotten.

would be good for me.
