Members, Ilelatives and Friends Are
Invited Governor, State and City
Officials Will Attend Color
Views to Be lut On.
Next Friday night has been des
ignated as the time for the official
"house warming" for the headquarters
of the Chamber, of Commerce, the offi
cial opening of the Oregon state ex
hibit on the ground floor of the Ore
gon building, an inspection of the head
quarters of the Oregon Fish and Game
Commission, which have been located
in the Oregon building, and the first
public appearance of the Berger-Jones
pictures since their return from the
East.
The affair is to be entirely informal
and is for members of the Chamber of
Commerce, their families and friends.
It will be attended by the Governor of
the state and a number of state offi
cials, as well as by the Mayor and
Commissioners.
It will be the first time that the gen
eral membership has been gathered to
gether since the organization of the
Chamber, and opportunity will be given
them to inspect the entire plant they
own and to become familiar with the
methods and plans by which their busi
ness is carried on.
Fair Exhibit Secured.
On the first floor of the building will
be found the Game and Fish Commis
sion and the Oregon state exhibit. The
latter is said to be the finest perma
nent exhibit ever gathered in the West
and to be the best mounted. It gives
opportunity for study of the land prod
ucts, sea products and the industrial
products of Oregon, and is so arranged
as to present these in sections corre
sponding to the divisions of the state.
The exhibit is largely composed of
products which aroused so much en
thusiasm at the Panama-Pacific Fair.
It was gathered at the expense of the
state, and later an appropriation was
secured for permanently locating the
exhibit in Portland.
Phil Metschan, Jr., is to be chairman
of the reception committee, on the
Bround floor of the building. He was
selected because of his wide . ac
quaintance with the people of the
state. He will be expected to intro
duce state officials to their constit
uents and to welcome the stranger.
Many Features Planned.
On the fifth floor of the building will
be found the offices of the executive
secretary and the headquarters of the
different bureaus. All employes of the
Chamber will be found at their posts
and ready to explain the methods used
In each department. Dean Vincent is
to be at the head of the reception com
mittee on that floor.
Just above will be found the billiard
rooms and the card-rooms the 1916 bar,
barber shop and a numr of private
dining-rooms for the use of commit
tees. J. E. Cronan, chairman of the
house committee, will receive visitors,
and has arranged for women to have
the use of the tables during the en
tire evening.
E. D. Timms will extend cordial
greetings on arrival at the seventh
floor, where will be found the famous
green room, the ladies' parlor and of
fices of the accounting department, to
gether with more committee rooms.
On the eighth floor, the main dining
room, kitchen and service rooms will
be encountered, with W. J. Hofmann in
charge of showing them to g-uests. The
Berger-Jones pictures will be seen In
the big dining-room. This event will
be somewhat in the nature of a re
ception for Messrs. Berger and Jones
and Phil S. Bates, an appreciation of
their work in advertising the city.
AVomen Attked to Serve.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
Is unique because of having a large
number of women as members. These
women have been asked to form a re
ception committee composed of their
entire number, and also will be in

BOY SCOUTS IN TEST
First and Second-Class Ranks
Sought by 100.
SHOWING OF LADS LAUDED
Examinations In Woodcraft, Sig
naling, Walking, Running and
. Cooking Given at Rose
City Speedway.
More than 100 candidates for rank
ing as first and second-class Boy
scouts were put through all kinds of
tests at the Rose City Park speedway
yesterday afternoon to determine their
qualifications. There were tests in
woodcraft, in signaling, running, walk
ing, cooking and in doing all the vari
ous other things necessary for a boy
scout to be efficient.
The examination was held under the
direction of James Brockway, scout
commissioner for this district, and
Scout Masters Mackenzie, Wood and
Walker, who acted as inspectors.
Mr. Brockway expressed himself last
night as well pleased at the showing
made by the boys. He said that the
percentage of those qualifying would
be high.
One of the tests, which was particu
larly interesting, was doing what is
Known as the "scout pace. This is 50
steps running, alternating with 50 steps
walking, ana done at the rate of a mile
in 12 minutes.
The scout must do this so accurately
that when he has gone for 12 minutes
he will know he has covered a mile,
or if he has gone a mile he will inow
he has employed 12 minutes' time.
Other work which the boys were
put through were the use of the sema
phore and international Morse code in
signaling, the starting of fires with
out kindling and with not more than
two matches, and also starting fires
merely by the friction of two sticks.
There were also tests in wall scaling,
obstruction drills and cooking without
utensils.

Company Kxpecla to Buy Oregon Can

As soon as business conditions in the
Northwest justify the expenditure, it
s probable that Armour & Company,
the Chicago packers, will establish a
large fruit and vegetable cannery in
Oregon.
C. II. Davidson, superintendent of
outside agencies for the company, has
been in Portland for the last few days.
conferring with representatives of the
company in this territory and inciden
tally viewing the situation with ref
erence to possible future developments
that will determine the erection of a
new plant.
Mr. Davidson reports that Armour &
Company expect this year again to
contract with various fruit and vege
table canneries in Oregon for the pro
duction of a large volume of local prod
ucts. Some of this canned goods will
be used to supply the local trade. Oth
ers will be sent into the Eastern field.
It has been the custom of the company
to participate in the Oregon business
by contracting with local canneries.
W e hope, said Mr.- Davidson last
night,- at the Benson, that our bus
ness in this territory eventually will
force us to build a cannery here of our
own. Doubtless such a step will be
the natural outgrowth of our present
activities in the Northwest. We would
welcome a condition that would ius-
tify us in making such an improvement
ngnt now, but we fear that action of
that kind this year would not be Jus
tified.
"Our people are fully alive to the
importance of this territory and to its
growing needs. When the time comes
they doubtless will provide more sub
stantial representation here."
Mr. Davidson is making a tour of
all the Western agencies of Armour &
Company. He expects to visit Portland
again later in the season.
METER WATER BILL FOUGHT
Mrs. S. M. Cornell Gets $31.50 State
ment, but "Ijeak" Is Keported.
Once more the busy little water
meter has seored a point for the city'B
water fund. This time it is Mrs. Sarah
M. Cornell who is hit by the antics of
the meter at her place, 101 North
Eleventh street. She opened her water
bill the other day expecting to find the
usual amount of J2 or S3 a month. But
lo and behold the bill said $31.50. And
the meter substantiated the claim.
Mrs. Cornell complained and the
Water Bureau investigated and reported
"lean in building." Mrs. Cornell has
appealed to the City Council for relief
from the bill.

Vista House Ball Will Be
Old-Fashioned Lines.
WALTZ AND POLKA RETURN
Local Theaters Provide Numbers for
Vaudeville Bill During Inter
mission and Otlicr Features
Also Are Promised.
An evening of old-fashioned revelry
is planned for all who attend the Vista
House ball at Cotillion Hall tomorrow
night. Not only is the affair a benefit
for a pioneer cause, but all its appoint
ments are in keeping with the idea.
The whole amount realized will go to
the fund for building the Vista House.
Everything connected with the benefit
has been donated by prominent people
interested in the pioneer landmark.
At the Vista House ball there will
be no one unpopular because of un
familiarity with the new steps. They're
going to waltz, polka, schottische,
three-step and two-step, with only a
few of the newer dances thrown in for
variety. The "circle two-step" will be
rejuvenated and enjoyed.
Local theaters have donated num
bers to make up a regular vaudeville
bill that will be given during an in
termission. All the features are to be
surprises, say the committee. There
is to be a county fair in connection.
This is a gift of Portland merchants.
Pretty maidens will be behind the
counters. A large number of the young
er set have been selling tickets, and
many people are expressing their in
terest in the pioneer benefit by pur
chasing them. Tickets are on sale by
Mrs. S. Mills, Miss Margaret Sellers,
Wiley B. Allen, Jaeger Bros, and the
Baker Theater.
The chairman and vice-chairmen of
the committee will be assisted by the
floor committee, who are Mrs. Lillian
Brooks, Miss Lydia Jaehnke. Mrs. Van

the Public Library has arranged ex
hibits showing the life of the period.
In the second floor lobby is a col
lection of the Abbey illustrations of
Shakespeare's plays. In cases in the
hall and in the circulation room are
plates showing the architecture, in
teriors, furniture and costume of the
period. Through the kindness of Miss
Josephine Hammond, of Reed College, a
model of a theater of the time can be
seen in the reference room.
In view of the present widespread
agitation for improving the port fa
cilities of Portland, the "Port of Ham
burg." by Edwin Clapp, is especially
timely. Hamburg has a position similar
to Portland, being located on the river
Elbe 75 miles from the sea with a rich
hinterland tributary to it. This book
gives an account of how, with a chan
nel ixi the '40s of only six and one-half
feet she has become the greatest of
European seaports.
"Posture" will be the subject of Dr.
Bertha Sabin Stuart's lecture to be
given in room A of the Central Library
on Thursday evening. This is the sev
enth lecture in the course on "How to
Get Well and Keep Well."
Mrs. Eleanor Sanford Large will
give a talk in library hall on Friday
evening at 8 o'clock, on "Shakespeare
on the Stage."
All lectures given in the library
auditoriums are free and everyone in
terested is invited to attend.
Cornelius Women Meet.
CORNELIUS. Or., April 1. (Special.)
One of tho smart social affairs of the
season was the tea given for the benefit
of the Women's Club at the home of
Mrs. Charlie La. I'ollette Friday after
noon. About 30 ladies were present,
and a large number of them appeared
in costume to represent some adver
tisement.
Nellie Revell, Director of Public
ity, Says Every Large Town Has
Its Own Representative and
List Includes Many Cities.
That Portland has been a center for
home vaudeville talent on the Orpheum
circuit for the season about to close
is indicated by reports cent out by
Nellie Revell, director of publicity, from
the Orpheum headquarters in New
York. Miss Revell does not list all
the acts Portland has provided for
Orpheum vaudeville and, in fact, the
record is far from complete for all the
cities mentioned, but the roster as it
is puts Portland in the fore rank with
more than a dozen acts to its credit.
Prominent among tne Orpheum acta
of Portland origin are the Leightons,
who have a home-coming here every
season; Lai Mon Kim, the Chinese bari
tone: Rev. Frank W. Gorman, "The
Singing Parson," now on the Keith cir
cuit, which is affiliated with the Or
pheum; Cathrine Countiss. whose hit
with the Baker Players led to an Or
pheum engagement; Hirschel Hendler.
"The Poet of the Piano." who got his
start in a jinks of the Portland Press
Club; Frances White, new partner of
William Rock, who was "discovered"
here by Keating & Flood; Ethel Clif
ton and Brenda Fowler, former Baker
Players, who were at the Orpheum last
week in "The Saint and the Sinner,"
and who are obtaining royalties from
five other acts now traversing the Or
pheum; Miss Dong Fong Gue, Chinese
singer and dancer, who will be at the
Orpheum next week, and Miss Floy Le
Page, who will make her first Orpheum
appearance here next week in an en
gagement won after a tryout before
Carl Reiter, manager of the Portland
Orpheum.
Other Aetora oil Circuit.
Aside from these, many Portland
actors and actresses have appeared in
Orpheum sketches. These include W.
S. Phillips, son of Adolph Phillips:
Frank Dekum, Miss Vida Reed, Richard
Carroll, Harold Germanua and Mar
guerite McNulty, who will be at the
Orpheum next week with Harriet Mar-
lotte in "The Lollard."
"Perhaps there has never been such
a season as the present one when the
Orpheum circuit has been permitted to
offer to its patrons so much home
vaudeville talent." writes Nellie Revell.
"There is probably no city on the whole
of the Orpheum circuit that has not
had its own representative on the cir
cuit this season. Home talent does
not necessarily mean rank amateurs.
Of course, all actors must be amateurs
at some time, but the Orpheum cir
cuit managers are always looking out
for talented people and when they find
them the managers lose no time in
communicating with their home office
and in developing the aspirants until
they can proudly present them in Or
pheum theaters, representing the beat
of vaudeville. The Orpheum circuit man
agement evinces a parental interest In
these vaudevillians and they, in turn,
regard the circuit as their Alma Mater.
A glance over some of the names that
are familiar to Orpheum patrons is the
best proof that home talent is worth
while."
Talent Distributed Widely.

Revell follows:
