TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXTAX. PORTLAND. APRIL 21, 1918. 13 WAR RALLY CALLED Workers From All Over State to Meet in Portland. SESSIONS TO LAST 2 DAYS Vm of National and Interna tional Distinction Will Address Convention la Interest of. Patriotic Undcavor. TCar workers from err section of the stats will meet In Portland on May 23 and 21 at ths first Oregon war con ference, which is to be held nnder ths auspices of ths Stats Council of De fense. The meetlns" Is befits; arrang-ed at ths Instance of ths Federal Government and a number of speakers of National and International fame will be In Port land to address ths larger assemblage. Ths two-day convention Is one of a series of big ret-together meetings being held In all parts of ths United States from JJalne to California and from Tampa to Seattle. Mayor Baker has postponed ths con ference of Oregon Mayors and Ctty At torneys to May 23 and 21 from ths orig inal dates of May 2 and I. In order that all city officials In the stats may have an opportunity of attending both meet ings without making; two tripa to ths city. Defeaas Chairmen Attend. Ths meetings will bs attended by every county chairman of the county council of defense, by ths county rep resentatives of every war activity. Ths purpose of the gathering is to achieve a triple object: First, it will bring together ths war workers of the stats for Information and mutual helpfulness and inspiration exactly aa the workers of a political party in peace times are Inspired by a get-together spirit by a convention, so ths war conference will stimulate every county representative to new efforts. Second, the conference will prove means of strengthening ths state coun cil organisation throughout ths state. Thus far no stats conferences have been held, according to reports from Washington. without bringing the counties closer together, without sham ing into renewed activities those coun ties that were lagging and without spurring on to sven greater efforts and a better co-ordination with the state councils those already playing a big part In stste defense work. Third, the war conference will pave the way for a state-wide speaking cam paign planned for Oregon. tVlUn Evtneea Interest. Jfot only baa ths war conference ths support of administration leaders, but the Interest in the conferences by President Wilson has been evinced by personal messagea sent by the Presi dent to no less than 14 conferences. The committee on public Information and the Council of National Defense first proposed the war conference plan last November to a group of Eastern states. The first actual conference was held In Klchmond. Vs.. on December 6. South Carolina and Indiana followed shortly. and later In Iecember Pennsylvania and Iowa followed with the plan carried to tremendous success. Five more states went over the top In January and three more in February, while In March the South almost with out exception swung Into line. Arrangements are being made to hold war conferences in every Pacific Coast atate. under the ausplcea of the State Councils of Defense. mer. where the big mill of the Bridal Veil Lumbering Company Is located. and R. C. Sch melts and W. E. Thomp son, Camp A. of the above company, report a loyal support among employes, and turned In a substantial amount In subscriptions In Bridal Veil J. L, Scott, volunteer solicitor, has done exceptionally good work, and present Indications are that there will be but few slackers to re port to the Government among the employes of the Bridal Veil Lumbering Company, over having already been subscribed, with more to follow. In the second liberty loan drive about $11,000 was subscribed in this district. In the present campaign this amount has been far overreached. The quota for the district is already oversub scribed and the workers are now try ing to more than double thla quota. J. B. Pearce Is the local member of the executive committee, working with F. N. Lesley, of CorbetL and C. J. Lund- qulst. district chairman, of Greaham. VESPERS ARE ARRANGED SERVICES AT SEED COLLEGE FOR TWO MOVTHS AS.XOIWCED. Dr. stale Rivalry Keen. These state councils of defense of ths West are accustomed to going at their work In a vigoroua way. and of ficials In Washington expect to see them carry through the war confer ence plan with the same Initiative and determination and resolution that haa characterised ail their undertakings. The rivalry Is already keen as to which state will make Its war confer ence the biggest and most successful. HEN IN SERVICE LISTED FORESTER CECIL AK1 FRIEXD9 TO WRITE LETTERS.

A military airplane which was received at Juares, Mexico, yesterday from Mexico City, is to be nsed to search for bandits along the International border, according to the Mmminrtfr of the Juares ssrrlson. With a view to ahowlng how great ia ths contribution of the Columbia River Basin to the resources of the Nation which are available for military purposes, the Portland Chamber of Commerce haa compiled in brief a statement on the subject. The purpose is to show at a glance how much can be done by this section to supply the great variety of prod ucts used by tne Army and Navy, and how great a loss would be ruffered If they were to fall Into the hands of an enemy. The most Important of these re sources Is timber.. There are In tne whole of Oregon, the Columbia River counties of Wsshlngton and Southern Idaho 662.380,493,000 feet of standing timber. To this may be added, as directly ac cessible from the Columbia River, 155, 81S.47S.000 feet in Faatern Washington, Northern Idaho and Western Montana. This timber is used In all kinds of structural work, but most Important a present are fir In shipbuilding and spruce In aircraft,' 200 Ships to Be Turned Out. -The Columbia River district has built or Is building ships of the total valu of J175.000.000, of which more than half are of fir, and la also supplying about 60.000.000 feet of large timbers to At lantic and Gulf Coast shipyards. Before the close of this year the dla trlct will probably have produced 200 ships of wood or steel for use In car rying and supplying ths Army and feeding the allies. Thia country s only great stand of spruce timber, which has proved' best for aircraft, ia in Oregon and Wash iniprton. and Is estimated at 11,500,000, 000 feet. More than half of this total Is tributary to the Colun.bla River or to other Oregon ports. It Is now bein supplied to the Government and the allies at the rate of more than 10, 000.000 feet a month. Oregon and the Inland Empire pro duced In one year 6S.17S.00O bushels of wheat, 20,000,000 bushels of oats and 12.500,000 bushels of barley. Complete totals for that region alon are not available as to other food prod nets, but the catch of fish In Oregon and Washington combined Is 13,2a0, 000 and the vegetable production of Oregon Is 26, 875.000. the fruit 112.670, 000 and the livestock 6,743,000. Wool Production Large. To arrive at the total for the en tire region these totals should be more than doubled. Wool production in tne Columbia basin totals 3S.000.000 pounds. The mineral output of Oregon alon Is JS, 500.000. comprising gold, silver. conDer. lead, the rare but highly 1m nortant chromium and other metals used In making munitions. To. these must be addeJ the coal of Eastern Washington and Montana, th silver, lead, sino and coper of the Coeur d'Alene district of Idaho and the Kootenai district of British Columbia and the vast copper product of Butte, Mont, which in a military sense are accessible from the Columbia. Through its production of food, tim ber. minerals, hides and wool this re glon plays no small part in feeding, clothing and arming the American forces and in carrying supplies to them.
