PHOTOGRAPH OP AD CLUB MEN AT SACRAMENTO. - in i -- i - AKgg CLUB HONORED BY CLARK'S ELECTION ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY In Choice of Portland Man to Head Advertisers Publicity for City Is Seen. RESULT PROVES SURPRISE Office Entirely Vnsouglit and I At tributed to tand Taken by Local Organization for Elimination of Fakes. With the election at Sacramento last week of A. G. Clark as president of tha Pacific Coast division of the Asso ciated Ad Clubs of America, the In terest and attention of advertising men through the territory west of the Rocky Mountains ha become centered on Portland, irhere it will remain during the year. That Mr. Clark Is well qualified to All this Important position and that the honor conferred upon him is highly deserved, is admitted by advertising men throughout his Jurisdiction. The election is all the more compli mentary because It came as a surprise to Mr. Clark. He was not a candidate tor the honor and did not even attend the convention. The first he knew of his election was when he received the following telegram from H. R. Hayek, one of the Portland delegates attending the Sacramento convention: "I congratulate you upon your unani mous election as president of the Pa-cMc-Coast Advertising Men's Associa tion." . Bletkea Seada Message. That was Wednesday night Just after the vote had been taken at Sacramento. A few minutes later came, the following message from Joseph Blethen. of Seat tle, the retiring president of the asso ciation: "You were unanimously elected presi dent of the Pacific Coast Ad Men's As sociation for 1914. with Vancouver. R. C, as the convention city. Congratu lations." Official notification was contained in the following dispatch from A. C Black, chairman of the Portland delegation: "On behalf of the- Portland delega tion it Is my great pleasure to notify you that you have been unanimously chosen as president for the coming year. We pledge you our loyal support In every way." ' Mr. Clark la Inclined to look upon his election as a recognition of the past activities of Portland In advertising club circles rather than as a compli ment to himself. -This Is the first time." he said, "that this honor has come to a Portland man. The fact that the Portland Ad Club has been given this distinction Is due, probably, to the activity of our club In the effort to elevate the advertising standard on the Coast. The Portland club has stood always as a consistent champion of Portland and Its Industries and for clean advertising. I consider my selection more as a tribute to the club than as a personal honor." 1 plltt Work I'Bdertakea. Mr. Clark served last year as presl ednt of the local club. It was during his administration that the work for better advertising methods was begun. Jt was due largely to his efforts that considerable beneficial legislation has been had In the last year. Thla legis lation Is Intended to eliminate "fake" advertising and to protect legitimate merchants and advertisers. He is chair man this year of the local committee on advertising law and ethics. He Is a firm believer in the future of Port land and of the whole Paclflo Coast country. His trip to the National con vention of advertising men at Dallas, Tex, when he was accompanied by a negro -valet" wearing a salmon-colored suit of clothes, gave Portland Nation-wide publicity. His friends here are proud of the distinction that has been given him." IRVINGTON JPIONEER DIES Jlrs. Sr. C TVrisht, Bes-dent of Port land S5 Tcr, Succumbs. Mrs. M.

PASSAGE, General Flaaer Fears Legislature's Arrroprlatloa of 95O0O May Not Be Sufficient. Eighty Oregon survivors of the battle of Gettysburg will attend the reunion on the battlefield, July 2, 3 and 4, according to the estimate of Adjutant-General Finser, of the Ore gon National Guard, who is co-operating with the Oregon Grand Army of the Republic In arranging for this state's reDresentation In the event. He does not believe that the appropria tion of $5000, made by the last Legis lature to pay the veterans' expenses In making the trip, whether they wore the blue or the gray at the great bat tle will be sufficient. So that the money will have to go as far as pos sible each old soldier will be furnished a round-trip ticket, and whatever re mains of the appropriation will be ap portioned in paying their other ex penses. Already a large number have nnnlled at Grand Army of the Re public headquarters, 575 County Court house to be mciuoea in me pany uwi will make the trip, and It Is on the number that have already asked to go that General Finzer makes his es timate. Captain James P. Shaw and Colonel Lewis P. Garrigus, who were chosen by Governor West as commissioners to have charge of the expenditure of the appropriation, are getting In touch with veterans throughout the state and find that every survivor of the memorable conflict, that was the turn ing point of the Civil War, wishes to go. Colonel Garrigus is now at Gettys burg. In a recent letter to Governor West he says that the most perfect arrangements have been made for the handling of the great crowd that will attend the reunion, both by the Penln sylvania Commissioners and by the railroads. "I would suggest," writes Colonel Rarrlcrus. "that each veteran who Is to attend this reunion be given an identification card, so that in case Entrance From Stark Street Commencing Monday, May 26, 1913 GRAND MUSICALE REVUE During NOON LUNCHEON 12 to 2 P.
