Portlands proposed, public auditorium
can be built as planned recently by the
City Council with the money available
for the purpose, according to a letter
received yesterday by Commissioner
Baker from J. II. FTeedlar.der, of New
York, the auditorium architect,
Mr. Freedlunder and Architect J. A.
Fouilhoux. of Portland, have gone over
the plans and have approved them and
estimate that the building- can be erect
ed without funds in addition to the
$500,000 available from a bond issue au
thorized by the voters several years
ago. Having- reached this conclusion
the architects report that they have
started the preparation of final definite
wonting- plans. While no mention is
made of the probable date of completion
of the plans. Commissioner Baker says
he expects them within a very short
time. He has given the architects in
structions to rush them through as
quickly as possible,

The building Is to be erected on the

modern structures of Its kind in the
United States. The Interior will be so
arranged that it will accommodate the
atrical productions, conventions and all
other sorts of large assemblages, shows
and exhibits.
Oregon materials are to be used ex
clusively. In reporting that the build
ing as proposed can be erected with
the money available the architects say
they have figured on the cost of Oregon
materials. Provision also has been
made for the Installation of a large
pipe organ to cost between 120,000 and
25,00.
Commissioner Baker said yesterday
that he expects the auditorium con
struction to be a part of the work of
the coming Winter. Just as soon as
xne pians are received he will ask the
Council to authorize the publication of
a call for bids. As soon as possible the
contract will be let and work started.
Most of the soundings of the ground
already have been made and engineers
report everything in this regard to be
satisfactory.
Mr, Baker Is Pleased.
The word that the plans have met the
approval of the official architects and
that the building can be erected with
the money available was welcome news
to Commissioner Baker and other offi
cials. Mr, Baker took up the auditorium
proposition as soon as he took office,
July 1 of this year, and has been
crowding the proposition along as fast
as possible. He has given strict in
structions to the architects to hold the

Approximately 500,000 will be avail
able for the building and the rest will
go for furnishings, and the pipe organ
and other equipment.
ATTITUDE IN EAST CHANGES
Governor Iiister Says Development of
AVestern Resources Favored.
OLTMPIA, Wash.. Sept. . (Special.)
"It la noticeable that in the Kast
there is more talk of the development
of Western resources, rather than of
shutting the door and locking it," said
tlovernor Lister today, upon his return
from Boston, where he discussed "Con
servation of Natural Resources" before
the annual Governors' conference. "The
Kast has not yet come wholly to the
Western viewpoint, but sentiment is
growing much more liberal and con
ditions are such that the West was
able to make headway by presenting
its facts. Instead of creating antagon
ism by fighting back."
Governor Lister will attend the Port
land waterpower conference this month
with the Washington Legislative dele
gation. He would not discuss the Fer
ris bill prior to this meeting. Pre
paredness for National defense Is one
of the principal subjects of discussion
In the Kast, Governor Lister said. He
professed his own desire to see Coast
Artillery forces strengthened and the
Navy kept at a high degree of effi
ciency, but declared he could not sub
scribe to the proposal for compulsory
military service, believing the people
always would prefer to put their faith
in a volunteer militia.
STATE PAGEANT PROPOSED
T7nl varsity of Oregon to Father His
toric FrotTuction.
Plans are under way for the produc
tlon of a great Oregon pageant which
will be given by the students of the
University of Oregon and others of the
community next Spring. The regents
of the university are making the pre
liminary outline for the pageant. The
departments of history and music will
co-operate.
Mrs. George Gerlinger, one of the re
gents in discussing the proposed affair
said:
"We have a wonderfully rich heritage
in the history of the great Oregon
country, and it Is fitting that the State
Vntverslty should gather up and keep
in permanent and beautiful form this
historical lore. It is expected that
various historical and patriotic organi
zations in the state will be represented
on the pageant committee."
CROWD FLOCKS TO REGATTA
Portland Chamber Makes Exodus to
Astoria Water-lXe.
The Chamber of Commerce offices
presented an air of holiday desertion
all day long yesterday, for the various
secretaries and assistant secretaries
and other representatives of the organi
zation had donned their rear-admiral
uniforms and vanished from Portland
on the S:30 train tor the Astoria Re
gatta. More than 400 people were In the
crowd that took advantage of the ex
cursion rates offered to the Regatta
yesterday, and of this number between
100 and ISO wore the official badges of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce
delegation. Yesterday was set aside
as Portland Chamber of Commerce day
and a committee of more than 100 As
toria business men was detailed to take

BIRDS AREIN DEMAND
Mr. Finfey Urges Breeding of
China Pheasants.
USEFULNESS IS ASSERTED
Eastern Oregon Farmers Find Anti
dote for Grasshoppers and State
Biologist Thinks Industry
Promises Profit.
Owlngr to the Increased demand for
Oregon's game bird, the China pheasant,
by game fanciers and bird breeders all
over the United States, "William L.
Finley, State Biologist, has come to the
conclusion that farmers should, be en
couraged to breed pheasants for com
mercial purposes. "The pheasants are
practically just as easy to raise as are
chickens," says Mr. Finley. However,
he is of the opinion that details must
be studied and utmost care exercised
to insure success.
During the current year the state
game farm at Corvallis has reared ap
proximately 5000 birds for commercial
purposes and for liberation, and as
many more have been provided jy farm
ers all over the state.
Grasshepper Plagoe Overcome.
Aside from the fact that the China
pheasant is one of the best game birds,
it has lately achieved the distinction
of being about the most useful bird
that has ever been liberated in Eastern
Oregon. The farmers of the eastern
part of the state for the past few years
liAve been bothered with an excess of
grasshoppers, and a few birds liber
ated for game purposes saved them
selves from the hunter's gun by solving
the grasshopper problem. And during
the last few weeks hundreds of birds
have been shipped to all the towns of

Eastern Oregon for the extermination
of the destructive grasshopper. Gene
Simpson, manager of the state form at
Corvallis, says that "captivity seems to
change the habits of the China entirely.
The hen rarely ever makes a pretense
at laying in a nest, much less sit and
hatch a brood of young pheasants. The
cock becomes decidedly polygamous.
He will instantly kill a young bird, if
placed in the same enclosure. The per
centage of fertility of all pheasant eggs
is remarkably great. It is not at
uncommon for every egg to hatch, and
for many years I have mated from four
to six hens with one cock, the latter
number invariably when the enclosures
are sufficiently large."
Instructions Are Given.
In order that the best results be ob
tained Mr. Simpson says breeding yards
with removable partitions, for the pin
ioned birds, are, perhaps, the best to
use. These yards are 24 feet square,
have no covering and accommodate six
hens and one cock during the laying
season, immediately after which the
birds are turned out into a large, open
field adjoining. At this aeaaon the
cocks will not fight, and but little time
is consumed each day in caring for sev
eral hundred birds. The partitions are
then set aside and the entire strip cul
tivated and sown with grass seed, and
the work may be done with a plow,
whereas, if the partitions were station
ary, it would take considerable time to
spade and cultivate each yard. In
March these partitions should be put
back and the birds mated again for the
laying season.
As the China pheasant hen is no
mother to trust with the raising of a
family chickens are used for brooding.
The best hen for the purpose has been
found to be the Cochin bantam.

Father George Schoener, the Bur-
Dank of Oregon, has outgrown his farm
near 13rooks, and now the Portland
Chamber of Commerce is contemplat
ing taking steps to have him brought
to Portland and installed In the parks
so that he can continue with full op

Chamber visited him at Brooks last
week and looked over his experiment

cided to recommend to the executive
committee of the Chamber that im
mediate steps be taken to work out -a
plan to provide a place for the plant
wizard in Portland.
Father Schooner's exhibit in San
Francisco attracted large attention, and
both San Francisco and Santa Barbara
already have made strong bids for him
to come there, offering him annuities
and free experiment farms on which
to continue his work.
Not only has Father Schoener origi
nated several new varieties of roses.
but be has also experimented with euo
cess in the development of new va
rieties of small fruits and in some of
his discoveries has rivaled the widely-
heralded successes of Luther Burbank.
A. plot of ground for experiment
work already has been offered Father
Schoener at Reed College, but it is
probable, that the Chamber of Com
merce committee will consider rather
a plan to bring him here and put him
in a position in the city parks, where
he can continue hra work effectively.
