' All of which bears on the question
. ef why Portland, located .n the center

i-ct of fish manipulation which the I
"public hears so much about.
.- That cold storage plays or has played
'a part In regulating fish prices In
.Portland is suspected. Cold storage
plants have as their legitimate purpose
the storage of perishable food, from the
p-ason of oversupply to the season of

Letters coming from individuals and
organizations in Eastern cities to Port
land business men and to The Orego
nian are full of praise for the excel
lent work of Frank Branch Riley and
Frank Ives Jones, who are touring the
East on a lecture trip which has for its
object to bring to the attention of
Easterners the merits of Oregon as a
home state and as a land of attrac
tions for tourists. Mr. Riley's talks
are supplemented by pictures shown by
Mr. Jones, and the combination evident
ly carries a great appeal to those who
l are as yet unacquainted with the beau
1 ties of the Northwest.
One of the letters of appreciation
sent to Mr. Riley and of which a copy
has been received by The Oregonian, is
from George u . aux. genera pas
senger agent of the Union Pacific
system at Chicago, end chairman of
the house committee of the Traffic
Club, of Chicago.
"It la remarkable," wrote Mr. Vaui,
"that two business men from the Pa
cific Northwest can come into ihis city
and without the aid of an advance
agent secure large audiences four
nights out of five, willing to submit to
have 'a couple of boosters' talk about
and picture the beauties of Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia.
Even allowing for the fact that you
officially represent those common
wealths. It should not be overlooked
that because of storm, congestion and
coal shortage a majority of our citizens
are more concerned right now in an
effort to 'keep the home fires burning'
than in entertainment or recreation.
President Wilson believes in both and
has set the Nation a good example in
his determination to keep physically fit.
Speaker Is Congratulated.
Realizing as I do the extraordinary
situation you bad to overcome at our
Traffic Club ladies' night entertainment
last evening, I am astounded that you
held spellbound, an audience of sev
eral hundred people having the means
and the Inclination to travel and I take
this early opportunity to heartily and
unreservedly congratulate you."
