COMMITTEE IS NAMED Proposal Includes Nine-Year Term, Ample Fixed Appropriations and Salary Enough to Obtain Men . of Standing and Ability. Portland will take an active part in the Nation-wide campaign now in prog res to secure the formation of a non partisan tariff commission that shall take the tariff forever out of politics. In accordance with the request of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the Portland Chamber haa ap pointed a committee of its own mem bers to enlist local support in a bill to be presented to the National Con gress providing for the creation of such a commission. The Portland committee consists or the following: E. O. Crawford, chair man; A. J. Bale. C. H. 1'arrington. T. S. Townsend. O. E. Heintx, U J. Went worth and H. B. Miller. The National Chamber, by referen dum vote of 715 to 9. recently deter mined that a permanent tariff commis sion ahould be appointed. The tariff commission league, a subsidiary of the National Chamber, is preparing the draft of a bill for submission to Con gress. Mae-Year Term Proosl. A resume of the proposed act to cre ate a permanent, non-partisan tariff commission, is as follows: A tariff commission composed of even members. No one political party shall have a majority of the members. Full term of appointment, nine years, one member retiring each year after three years. Salaries. $13,000 per year. "The commission," say officials of the National Chamber, "is to have full pow ers of investigation; to gather data and report to Congress from time to time; to hear complaints and investigate them, and to recommend such tariff changes from time to time as are made necessary to put and keep the tariff on a fair and equitable basts, and to work out if possible a scientific Ameri can tariff system suited to the needs of all the country. "On this commission agriculture, la bor, manufactures and trade and com merce each would have a member, Itigher education to be represented by a man trained and schooled in scientific research and investigation, and one member to be a tariff expert from the Treasury Department, familiar with classifications, decisions and the prac tice under the existing tariff act. Fixed Appropriation Desired. "The commission would have full power to send for books and papers and to compel attendance of witnesses, and to act as a tariff court in certain cases. "The act is to carry a fixed annual appropriation, giving the commission stability so that It could not be wiped out by failure to appropriate. "These are the essential features re quired. This is a people's movement lin which everybody is invited to Join." The Portland Chamber of Commerce committee is preparing a campaign throughout the State of Oregon, ask ing commercial organizations, press and all citizens to use their influence with Congressional representatives and otherwise, to the end that the tariff schedules be founded upon science and facts as they exist, and excluding wher ever possible the political aspect.

THE Independent oraer oi whum Iowa is said to be one of the most extensive self-governed beneficial associations in the world. It had a rather humble origin, having been or ganized in Manchester, England, to promote sociability. This was in 1812. Isolated lodges of a similar nature had existed prior to this time, the oldest of which waa tha Loyal Aristarcus Lodge, which was organized in 1745 in London. An unsuccessful attempt to organize lodges in the United States was made during 1804-1806. The real history of Oddfellowship in the United States begins on April 2. 1819, when Thomas Wildey. with some rormer members of English lodges, organized Washington Lodge No. 1 in Baltimore. In 1843 American lodges ceased to report to the Grand, Lodge In England and. became Independent, since which time the Sovereign Grand. Loage or America has established lodges in .Tor. an. Mexico, the Hawaiian islands. Cuba, the Philippines, as well as most of the South American countries and in some of the European countries. Tn i ssa an Odf ellows Home was built near Fairview, about 15 miles east of Portland. It was deemed best, nowever, to sell this tract and build a home in Portland. The cornerstone of the pres ent Oddfellows' home on East Thirty second and Holgate streets waa laid 5K 197. and the building was dedicated on January 4, 1908. On a re cent visit to the home 1 learneo. many interesting thin ira about it from J. H. Van Orden.-the superintendent. Value of Plant $30,000. "We have six and a half acres here," said Mr. Van Orden.

Mother moved to Kentucky after father's death and I spent mv boyhood there. I worked on the river until 1852. when I came across the plaina to California. I have been engaged in mining all my life. I used to make big money inspecting and reporting on mines. For years I worked for Senator Hearst. Vhile employed, by Hearst I met Flood and Maekev. Lent and O'Brien and many other prominent mine owners. "John Hays Hammond has been ex ceedingly kind to me. My Principal pleasure now ie to think back to the time when I was active in the affairs of the big men of California and the West." K.rlv History Recalled. Another most interesting member of the family at the Home is Professor Thomas H. Crawford. When I visited him in hia room he told me about the early history of the rortiana bcuvkj.o. "I was 75 on my last birthday," said p.nf.r.F Crawford. "We came to Ore gon In 1S53. I waa a teacher. In the old Portland Academy when Emily York Moore, who still lives her6 in Portland, waa a teacher. She was The first graduate of Willamette Univer sity. She was graduated in 1859. I was graduated from Willamette Uni versity in the Summer of 1863. There were 12 in the class. I began my work in the Portland Academy in 1868 and taught for several years. I have been principal of various schools in Port land and I was City Superintendent of Portland Schools for 11 years." Pioneer of 1847 In Home. I had time to visit only two more of the members of the Home, so I called on two very interesting pioneer Ore gonians. Mrs. Roland and Mrs. Jack man. When I asked Mrs. Roland it she had not come to Oregon In 1847 she said: , "That's right; I came to Oregon In 1847. - More than likely you have beard of my father, Jeremiah Ralston, who the town of Lebanon. I was born in the little settlement of Burling. Jt3a3zrz the train into sections of about six wagons in each group. They made one band of all the loose stock, which was mostly young heifers, and I helped drive this band of cattle clear across the plains. "Our captain, Lot Whitcomb, settled near Portland, and with Beth Luelling laid off a town which they called Mil waukie. The first boat to bo launched on the river was named for him, the Lot Whitcomb. "We had a rather narrow escape in coming to Oregon. We were so late that when Doctor Whitman Invited some of our train to Winter at his mis sion station grandfather decided to stay. Quite a few stayed, but after some further discussion grandfather said he guessed he would try to make it through to the Willamette Valley. Those that Btayed were killed by the Indians a few weeks later. Bad Roads Encountered. "We tried to come by the Barlow road, but between the snow and the had Tstore there. My father was born and ten we were stalled in in the South, but my motner, jwuuu Ashpaugh, was a native of Ohio. From 1843 on the people in our neighborhood were all talking about what a grand place Oregon was and how there was plenty of free land and how the stock could range the hills all Winter with out being fed, so father eold his in terest in the store to his partner, Mr. Fear, and made ready to start across the plains. . Father was married twice. My mother was his second wife. By his first wife, whose maiden name was Margaret McKnight, he had six chil dren, and my mother bore him eight children. There ace only three of those 14 children now alive. "In 1846 Tom Morgan and William Hawke had put up a log cabin within the present city limits of Lebanon. My father bought their place and their im provements, consisting of their log cabin and some fencing. In the Fall of 1847. Father started a store as an ac commodation to the emigrants who were passing through, as well as to serve the settlers In that vicinity. That was the first store In Lebanon. Bean Is Objected To. "When I was 14 years old David S. Roland began to pay me attention. My father was a strict Methodist and he didn't believe in church members being yoked with unbelievers. He wanted me to pick out aome one who belonged to the Methodist Church. Dave's father didn't belong to any church. He said there was so much dispute among church members as to which was the right church to Join and as to which was the right road to heaven that he was afraid to pick out any of them for fear ho might pick out the wrong one, so he would just move along in the general direction without joining any of them. Father couldn't stand for such sentiments, so he forbade me going with Dave. I went over to Browns ville to visit my half-brother, Jeremiah Junior. ... "Oddly enough. Dave seemed to learn of my visit, so he came over, riding nn horse and leadin ganother. We started out for a ride along about sun down arid headed for Kendall's bridge. We got there just at mmnigni anu routed out Mr. Kendall. He and his two daughters dressed and he married us at midnight in place of noon. This was May 29. 1858. I was 14 H years old.

The Dalles and Portland. We had eight-children, five nt whom, all boys, are now living." "I was in my 14th year when we started across the plains in the Spring of 1847," said Mrs. Jackman. "I was born in Illinois and my maiden name was Lissie de VauL be sure you Epell that L-i-s-s-i-e, not Lizzie. My tamer. Tnmea de Vaul. was born in Maryland of French parents. My mother, Ibbie Ann Matilda Allen, was born in Ten nessee and was reared in Kentucky. I nnvpr saw my father. He died before I was born. When he died my mother went to the home of her father-in-law to keep house for him. I was the only child, as my father died shortly after his marriage. "My grandfather moved to the newly opened lands in Iowa in the early 40s. He settled near turnngton. Long Train Made Up "In the Spring of 1847. with many other of our neighbors, we startea tor the emigrants' rendevous on the Mis souri River. A neighbor of ours. Lot wntpnmh. was elected captain of our train. There were 110 wagons in the train, After lew days .they, divided the mountains and had to send out for help. They packed oxen with, food and brought it to us and then rutcnea the oxen to our wagons and pulled us down to the Willamette Valley. We settled on French Prairie, seven miles from Champoeg. My grandfather. Daniel DeVaul, died that Winter and the French people there gave him a Brood funeral. We had not been nere long before my mother was married. My stepfather had great influence with mother. I wanted to go to school, but my stepfather said a girl or 14 was too old to want to go to school and that I ought to think of getting a home of my own. My mother and my step father picked out a husband lor. me. His name was John Conley. He was a good-natured, good-for-nothing man. He was a master hand at doing noth ing. He could shift his chair to keep out of the sun and that was about all he cared to do in the way of exer tion or manual labor. The arrange ment was that we should take up i donation land claim of 640 acres, one- half of which under the law was mine, and I should deed my half to my step father and mother. I demurred, so my stepfather promised me one-half of their claim. When I signed the deed for my 320 acres over to my step father he said he had changed his mind about giving me any of bis land, so I was out and injured. Family Grows Rapidly. "I was 14 when I was married and before long I had a baby and a year or so later I had twins. One of these twins. Lewis Conley. was afterwards Sheriff of Union County and was killed while making an arrest. By the time I was 19 I had three children to look out for, and supporting my husband also was more than I cared to do, so I left him. Neither of us had ever cared for each other and we both rea lized that we had married merely to procure the extra 320 acres of land. Later I married Arsemus Jackson. I moved to Eugene, where for 41 years I supported myself by nursing and by sewing. For many years I had a dress making shop there. The girls or to day should be thankful that they do not have to take up the' burdens of wifehood and motherhood at from 12 to 15, as the girls did when. I was a girl 65 or 70 years ago."

"The time is now here for a syste matic exploitation of the. merits of the Northwestern box apple." says Arthur M. Geary, who returned yesterday irom o thre months' trip through the East ern markets. "There is a wave of prosperity sweeping over the cquntry and people are ready to try new things. "Little complaint was found among the trade regarding the packing and grading of the Northwestern box apple. This is a good indication that the Western grading and branding laws were lived up to during this past sea son, as the Eastern buyer expects to find the apples true to mark in a box of Northwestern box apples, just as he fears that he will find anything from a pfece of stovepipe to ordinary culls in the center of the barrels shipped in from most of the New York and other apple-growing sections. "The strict grading law- passed In New York has not greatly improved the reliability of the New York-grown ap ples. Whole communities would have f h. Ttrnaer.uted if a strict interpreta tion of the law were followed, as most of the growers do not Know now uu nal.v hnnestlv and do not want to "The reliability of the Northwestern tooW n.o well as the clear, finely col ored skin of the apples lend themselves especially to being sent into new mar kets at this time, when people have the money to buy the best. "Too much emphasis has been placed ,nnn endeavoring to fix the price at this end. and too little has been done to increase the demand for the apples at the points of consumption. The California Fruitgrowers' Exchange has a regular department which is devoted to advertising the various brands of tha Sunkist oranges. Men aid the grocery stores in making displays, in- vestigate complaints as to quality, dis tribute cook books in addition to ad vertising in the dally papers and maga zlnes. m "The Shippers Council or tne norm western apple shippers is in a position to blaze the way in this direction that must be followed if the increasing quantities of box apples are to be dis posed of at a profit to the growers. It is to be hoped that rivalry between dis tricts will not prevent an organized campaign being waged." LONE CASE SETTLED IN DAY Municipal Court Has Lull and Near- Record Is Established.

ICICLES CLEARED AWAY a Stream Used on One Downtown Building to Remove Menace. Remove tha icicles from the eaves, warns H. P. Coffin, chairman of the public safety commission. "When these icicles begin to drop, he says, "there will be many accidents if precaution is not taken. I have consulted no legal authority, but it is my belief that persons so injured would have recourse at law for damages." Some of the building owners in the downtown district commenced the re moval of icicles yesterday. At one building near Pine and Fourth streets steam was turned up the rain pipe and the ice began dropping off like big chunks of hail. , HOTEL UNION .

STOMACH TROUBLES DUE TO ACIDITY So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, stomach-ache and inability to retain food, are in pron nhiv niim rnnAfl nut of tp.n simnlv evi dence that fermentation, the result of excess acid. Is taking place in the food contents of the stomach causing the formation of gas. Wind distends the stomach and causes that full, oppres sive feeling sometimes Known as neari burn, while the acid irritates and in flames the delicate lining of the stom ach. The trouble lies entirely in the excessive secretion of acid and the fer mentation of food. Such fermentation is unnatural and may involve harmful consequences if not corrected. To atop or prevent fermentation of food con tents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and render it bland and harm less, a teaspoonful of Bisurated Mag nesia, perhaps the best and most effective corrector of acid stomach known, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water imme diately after eating, or whenever wind or acidity Is felt. This stops the fer mentation,' and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments. Fermentation, wind and acidity are unnecessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of a proper antacid, such as Bisurated Magnesia, which can be obtained from any drupr-cit- and thna enable the stomach lo do Its work properly without being hin dered by gas and excessive acid.
