3 SECRETARIES ADDED
COMMERCE, MEMBERSHIP AXD IN
DUSTRIES BUREAUS ORGANIZED.
V. IJ
Ilodaon. J. Fred Larson and
George D. Le Selected to
Head Departments.
Preparations to begin work in three
.departments of the new Chamber of
Commerce immediately were made a.t
the conference bet-ween the board of
directors and the budget committee
yesterday noon, when three executive
heads of departments were selected.
J. Fred Larson, former secretary of
the Commercial Club and one of the
activa workers in the reorganization
of the Chamber, has consented upon re
quest of the board to handle the execu
tive work of the membership depart
ment for the present as secretary of
the membership committee. This com
mittee will have full charge of the
securing of new members for the
Chamber and handling the member
ships already secured until the Cham
ber is running fully under its new
system of organization.
Two of the nine bureaus were sub
jects of consideration by the board
yesterday and the secretaries of these
bureaus were appointed.
George D. Lee, a well-known adver
tising man of the city and the chair
man of the special committee from the
civic bureau which has been handling
the clean-up campaign was employed
as secretary of the industries and man
ufactures bureau. Mr. Lee has been
connected actively with organizations
that come under the jurisdiction of this
bureau and is regarded ' as admirably
prepared to handle the work of the
position he is to assume.
W. U. B. Dodson. formerly in charge
of the trade and commerce department
of the old Chamber, has been retained
and employed by the new Chamber as
secretary of the trade and commerce
bureau. Mr. Dodson was formerly a
newspaper man in Portland and be
came connected with the Chamber a
few years ago. lie has been jin active
worker in all of the recent campaigns
for the extension of Portland's trade
facilities and is probably the most
thoroughly familiar man with the trade
onditions and commercial data of the
Northwest that could have been employed.
PASTOR URGES VOTE FIRST
Toliiioal Firedamp'' Threatens Xa
tlon. Civic League Hears.
"So long .is the popular ideal places
certain people oeyond the laws of rec
titude and decency, we will have un
clean politics." declared Kev. Frank L.
.oveland. pastor of the First Metho
list Church, addressing the Civic
League at its luncheon t the Multno
mah Hotel yesterday on "Purity in PoU
itl.-s."
"War never can destroy this coun
try of ours, but political firedamp can
smother it," he declared. "Four things
dug the grave of Home, and those
same four things, which are, first,
greed and graft in publio office: sec
ond, gambling In stocks and bonds;
third, cornering of food supplies, and
fourth, lnnded monopolies, are at work
digging the grave of our American republic.
"If we are to have clean politics, we
must shift the center of political grav
ity. We must have clean ideals back of
our politics.
"The men who go to prayer meeting
on the night that the caucus meets
can't expect clean politics:, when they
.shirk their political duty In that way
and leave the running of the govern
ment to men of another class entirely.1

FIRST MEETING GULLED
MEMBERS' COUNCIL OF CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE TO GATHER.
Delegates From 75 Trade Divisions That
Are Represented In Memfcerahlp
Are Expected t9 Be Present.
The members' council of the new
Chamber of Commerce will hold its
first weekly meeting at the Chamber
dining-room at noon tomorrow. Every
delegate from the 75 trade divisions
that are represented in the council is
expected to attend. Members of the
Chamber who are not In the council
may attend but will not be permitted to
participate in the discussions that will
take place.
A special programme committee will
arrange for entertainment at the meet
ing and in addition to the programme
there will be a general discussion of
subjects of interest in the organization
and future steps that may be taken in
handling the work of the Chamber.
The office of the council is primarily
advisory and investigative, and Its
recommendations as to the policy of
the Chamber will be referred to the
board of directors for action. The di
vision of the council into representation
from all of the trades and professions
involved In the membership gives the
opportunity for members of one trade
group to enlist the interest of the en
tire body in specific trade problems that
may confront them.
At later meetings arrangements will
be made to have speakers of promi
nence appear, to discuss subjects of in
terest to the business men of the city.
The members' council w-ill be In
creased as new trade groups arrange
for representation. The first 75 di
visions were appointed by the consoli
dation committee, but the council itself
will have power to create new groups
and to provide for representation from
them. Any trade or profession that is
represented by fivo members in the
Chamber will be eligible to send its
delegates to the members' council.

I am going: to expose the extortion practiced on the people of Oregon by the Dental
Trust. If this Trust can raise a slush fund of $6000 every month with which to carry on
a campaign against Painless Parker, I am going to cut off its source of supply, which
is in the pockets of the people, by cutting in half the price of dentistry, and thereby
stop, if possible, the contributions to this slush fund.
I can do high-class, painless dentistry at half Trust prices and make money. As long as
this Trust can raise money by charging two prices for what it sells the public, it can
' afford to spend part of that money to fight Painless Parker.
I propose to protect myself by depriving the Trust of its sinews of war. At the same
time, I will give every man, woman and child in Oregon the opportunity to get ray dentistry
at 50 per cent less than they have been forced to pay heretofore for oli-style, inferior
Trust service.
Out of every dollar spent by the people of Oregon for Trust Dentistry, a certain pro
portion goes to keep up this Trust, so it can control the dental business in this state.
One way. of controlling dentistry here has been to exterminate professionally any
dentist who might give the Trust hard competition.
I know how to compete with this Ethical Combine. That way is to give the public
better dentistry at less money. '
Hundreds of Oregon people who have bought my dentistry since I opened my Portland
office a year ago know my dentistry is superior to any ever obtained of Trust dentists at
twice my fees. '
I can buy high-grade dental material, except 22k gold, cheaper than Trust dentists!
because I buy it in large quantities for all my offices, including my Portland office. I can
give better service because of my painless methods.
Every one of my associated dentists in my Portland office are fully the equal of any
Trust dentist in the state, because all of them have been licensed to practice here by the
Trust's own hand-picked board of dental examiners. If an examination before the Trust's
board is what the Trust claims it to be, then every dentist associated with me in my Port
land office is fully the equal in skill, training and education of any dentist belonging to the
Dental Combine. -
If I can do Painless Parker dentistry at half the prices charged by members of the
Trust, and make money, then certainly it is nothing short of highway robbery of the public
pocketbook for Trust dentists to charge 100 per cent more for Trust dentistry.
I came to Portland to give the public a square deal in dentistry. And I know how to do
it. I intend to give this Trust a run of competition so that when I get through it will not
be able to raise $6000 a month, or any other sum, for a slush fund with which to f ighi
Painless Parker. If fur rugs are selling at 13 cents a gross the Trust will not be able to
buy one hair.

SIDELIGHTS ON THE CELILO CANAL CELEBRATION
T
HE more haste the less speed was
demonstrated by John C. Lewis, of
Portland, who boarded the steamer
Undine at Maryhill and left It at The
Dalles. In his haste to catch the 4:10
P. M. train for Portland Mr. Lewis
grabbed an overcoat belonging to Gen
eral P. H. Crow, of the Idaho National
Guard, and a suitcase belonging to
Miss Alexander, daughter of the Gov
ernor of Idaho. He made the train
and the diacovery at the same time, but
through a friend, who acted as general
claim agent, he arranged to return his
collection and obtain his own ward
robe. Miss Gladys Wilkins, of Eugene,
who acted as Queen McKenzie and had
brought a champagne bottle filled with
WcKenzio River water for the wedding
of the waters ceremony at Big Eddy,
deposited the bottle on the table before
her in the dining-room of The Dalles

Among the notable state conventions of this Spring is that of the Ladies of the Maccabees, which was held at
the Multnomah Hotel, April 1,5 and 16. A marked increase in membership and much broader and deeper worlc
has been seen In this order during the past year.
The convention was the largest yet held In this state. Mrs. Minnie Oydelotte, supreme chaplln, and Dr. Ella
Fiefield, supreme medical inspector, were among the prominent people .present. By this convention a new line of
dedlcstorial work was established the first article to be consecrated being an altar, which is now being -used in
their hall.
Mrs. Florence Chambers will leave soon for New York City, where she goes as the Portland Maceabes detegst
to the National convention of the Maccabees.
President J. T. Farrell, of the O.-W.
R. & N. Company; J. P. O'Brien, gen
eral manager, and R. B. Miller, traffic
manager, attended in private cars. As
the train pulled into Big Eddy station
for the return trip to The Dalles
Indians, farmers, hobos, women and
children climbed into the cars and took
possession. All were allowed to ac
company the railroad officials and
their families to The Dalles.
The Dalles "cops" will long be re
membered by visitors to that city on
May 5. They enforced the traffic reg
ulations to the letter and anybody
who attempted to cut cati-corner across
a square was chased off the block.
United States Senators, Governors,
Judges and others all fared alike. They
also demonstrated a new way to stop
an automobile that entered the streets
reserved for the parade. They stood
in front of the machine and if the
chauffeur was unable to stop, they
climbed on board the hood over the
radiator.
Judge M. C. George was conspicuous
among The Dalles boosters who col
lected at the depot. Judge George
proudly pointed to his two 20-acre
fruit farms on waste land on the top
of the foothills in back of the town
and explained that he grew apples,
apricots, grapes, figs, almonds, wal
nuts and other things with great suc
cess. He said the Celilo-Dalles Canal
means a "great Portland.'
O. C. Leiter, for 13 years city editor
of The Oregonlan and for the last six
weeks city editor of the Journal, tele
graphed Phil Bates asking for a cap
tion for a picture layout he had re
ceived from The Dalles. Mr. Bates
promptly telegraphed the caption, but
he sent it to The Oregonlan.
"Mother" Bates was the title some
of the village queens voted Phil Bates
for his careful chaperOnage and cour
tesies which he dispensed to them at all
times. He had to assume the title of
buldog just before the train pulled out
of The Dalles for Portland. "Every man
wants to ride in the observation car
with "my" girls," he told a reporter,
adding that he wondered what the men
thought he had chartered a Pullman
car for.
Thomas Hislop, a Portland pioneer,
was among those who made himself
agreeable to strangers at The Dalles.
Thoroughly familiar with the town and
its residents, Mr. Hislop was never too
busy to . hunt some person or a place
for anybody who seemed to be looking
for something. Excepting those who
knew him he was generally supposed
to be a resident, of The Dalles and a
member of the reception committee,
v a
The prices for food at The Dalles re
mained the same on the big day. It
was not easy to find a place to eat, but,
when successful, the diner was well
treated.
a
Captain L. A. Bailey, a pioneer In the
river service and member of the admi
ral's staff, gathered all the old-timers
together Wednesdsy evening and itad a
chat. Each man toll the bissent tula
he could make up and the prize has not
yet been awarded. .
Ex-Governor McConnell, of Idaho, who
attended the celebration, is one of the
best story tellers in the Northwest. On
the Undine coming down the river he
constantly had a crowd around him. As
the vessel passed the mouth of the
Deschutes River he was reminded of a
remarkable experience that befell him
there in his youth and he told about
It.
He was fishing in the Deschutes when
the salmon run was on. One old salmon
in his dosire to get up the stream
dashed his head against the sharp rocks
and Injurod himself severely. Mr. Mc
Connell happened to have a needle
and thread along so be caught the
wounded fish and sewed the opening
that had been made in his head.
A few days later he was fishing along
the same stream but without results.
Soon he heard a commotion in the
water, and there he saw the salmon
that he had befriended looming up at
him and wagging his tail out of sheer
gratitude. As a term of appreciation
he began calling the wounded salmon
"Old Spot" and referred to him, when
talking to his friends, by that name.
On a subsequent visit to the Des
chutes, Mr. McConnell related, he was
unable to catch a trout. He was begin
ning to get tired, lonesome and hungry
when he was rewarded with a catch of
a four-pounder. The trout kept run
ning past him in great numbers. This
was a most unusual circumstance and
he was puzzled.
In the midst of his bewilderment he
was relieved, but greatly astonished to
see "Old Spot" proudly swimming up
stream driving a whole school of trout
before him.
"I always like to see a grateful fish,"
says the ex-Governor.
The Portland Tollce Band liad a
prominent place in the street parade
here on Thursday. They were attired
In natty blue uniforms, with caps to
match, and made a fine appearance.
They furnished an excellent brand of
music. The policemen were applauded
all along the line, and people were
reminded that they are planning soon
to start on a trip through the East to
advertise Oregon.
a
Governor Withycombe, of Oregon,
and Governor Lister, of Washington,
exchanged compliments on Thursday
morning. While the Oregon Governor
was addresslnr a meeting at Van
couver, Wash., the Washington Gov
ernor was similarly engaged at Oregon
City. Or. Governor Alexander, of Idaho,
accompanied Governor Lister.
To see themselves as others see them
will be the privilege of every visitor
to Celilo. The Mutual, Pathe, Selig,
Hearst and private motion-picture firms
had men on the spot and everybody
got photographed for the movies.
How many were there? Well, there
were 200 round-trip tickets from Port
land, 100 passes and 300 mileage tick
ets. To carry these there were three
private cars, two chartered Pullmans,
one Pullman for those who desired to
pay for a reserved seat and seven
coaches on one train, and there were
the regular trains besides. Everybody
had plenty of seats. The O.-W. R. A K.
lent several cars to the Portage railway
to help them out. William McMurray
was in charge of the traffic. Almost
every railroad man In the Northwest
was present at the celebration.
Some men are going to find heaven
unsatisfactory if they are unable to
pick a quarrel with their neighbor.
SACRIFICE TO ART
a recent remark raises the ques
tion. Why "sacrifice to art" in the face
of plenty; the unsupplled demand of
merchant and manufacturer? Why not
elevate "still life" in the commercial?
A Christinas present front a New
York artist presents still life In the
antique, depicting tapestry, a helmet,
books, the reflected light of a candle
on the armor, a wood carving on the
wall, etc., all beautifully artixtic. But
why only in the antln'ie? There Is so
much equally artiatio and beautiful in
modern still life. Why not elevate
the modern, the commercial, bringing
into line our present classic and mot
artistic period piano case designs.
Art is not above, should not need to
look down upon art in the commercial.
Art is art wherever applied. W hy apply
it wrongfully? Why not apply It cor
rectly, or at least let us have art in
still life dealing with tho present in
stead of the antique? It is still art. and
can be presented In Its highest form.
The combining of salesmanship with
the professional will make such art
highly remunerative to such now "sac
rificing artists."
Many of the greatest artists have
pictured the piano In the parlor, in the
home, in the music-room, and such
works of art are to be found In the
art galleries throughout the world.
Therefore, the drawing of a period
room, with furniture, decorations and
Piano all harmonizing in correct lines,
what Is more classic; what higher sim
In art? This applied to all commercial
lines will no longer necessitate "sac
rifice to art."
- Contemplate, for instance, the room,
or corner of a room, decorated and fur
nished In Chippendale, Adam-, fchera
ton or Hepplewhite these graceful
lines of the old masters applied to our
modern, beautifully artistic Grand. Up
right or Player Pianos, with or with
out persons, or children, dressed In
the present fashion. What a beautiful
creation of "still life" you would give
to the world. Putting forward the
artistic of the new, the modern, as
the old artists of tlwe past did with the
new and modern of their time.
The Art Contest Inaugurated by the
Schwan Piano Co. gives opportunity
for the manufacturer, nrerchants and
artists to meet in their combined in
terests, as shown on page , 12, sec
tion 3.
A similar content in Detroit, Mich.,
followed by a letter of thanks from
Mr. Griffiths, director of the Museum
of Art, brought to light disrespectful
attitude of artists toward art when
applied to the artists' usual practical,
the commercial, to look down from
great heights upon the practical, the
money-making side of art.
However, the Detroit public school
pupil who had not yet acquired the
artist's usual patronizing attitude to
ward art as applied to the commercial,
his fresh, unencumbered ideas, these
secured for him the first prize in com
p.'tltton with the professional artist.
