Hope Is That Suitable Alan for
Presidency May Be Obtained
Early In September.
An enlarged Xaculty of men and
women who are specialists in their
chosen subjects will form the teaching-

a president are being sought at the
present time and the college expects

Tiny Girls Offer Dutch Dance Fol
lowed by Time-Honored
Virginia Reel.
The formation of the United States
with all the peoples of various -nations
Which have made possible the
America of today, was portrayed by
children of the Peninsula park dis
trict In an historical- pageant. "1629
1920," which was presented Wednes
day at the park.
Dressed in the attractive and pic
turesque costumes of the. peasants of
European countries, the children,
some of them under 6 years of age,
went through their steps and little
dances with a spirit of such deep in
terest that they delighted everyone.-
Little girls -alone were the partici
pants in all the dances, except the
Indian dance, which very properly
was presented by a group of boys
who seemed to feel honored to be
in 1919. Its cherry crop this season,
while affected by last winter's freeze,
brought orchardists higher prices and
larger profits than ever before, and
the barley crop is larger in acreage
and the production each acre greater
than in 1919, according to an agricul
tural and horticultural survey just
completed by the assessor's office.
The production of alfalfa this year
will also be larger than in 1919
1311.25 acres, averaging 2 tons an
acre to a cutting, being cut this year
as compared with 1164 aces, produc
ing an average cutting an acre of two
tons in 1919.
While the wheat production this
year is lower by 20,455.5 bushels than
last year, this Is due entirely to the
fact that there were 11,449.75 more
acres in grain last year than this.
The number of bushels' produced last
year was 1,041,475.5 as compared
with 1,021,021 bushels this year; the
yield, however, being lour more
bushels to the acre this year than
last.
There are but 832 farms In the
county this year against 952 last year.
The figures on the total acreage in
the county at present reveal an in
crease of 4S.217.26 farm acres, even
though there are 120 fewer farms.
The total acreage this year is 370,
844.26 as against 322,627 acres in 1919.
Wheat and small fruits hold their
places as the prominent crops of the
Senator Impresses Oregon Repre
sentative as Man of Sound. Busi
ness Judgment, Tact.
Representative C. N. itcArthur of
the 3d Oregon congressional district,
who is an intimate personal friend of
Senator Warren G. Harding, believes
that the republican nominee for presi
dent measures up to the American
ideal of that great office and that he
will be a very popular candidate be
fore the campaign ends.
Mr. McArthur is a member of the
joint congressional committee on the
Pilgrim Tercentenary celebration, of
which Senator Harding is chairman.
Other members of the committee are
Senator Underwood of Alabama and
Representatives Walsh of Massachu
setts, Whaley of South Carolina and
Doremus of Michigan.
"I have a very high regard for Sen
ator Harding," says Mr.. McArthur.
"He is a man of great force of char
acter, but quiet and dignified. He is
deliberate and of calm judgment and
keeps both feet on the ground. He is
a man of great physical strength and
is likewise endowed with a strong in
tellect and a keen sense of humor.
In brief, he is a typical American.
"I have served on the Pilgrim Ter
centenary committee with Senator
Harding for about a year and feel
that I have had ample opportunity to
make a careful estimate of the man.
Our committee has held frequent con
ferences in Washington and has made
several trips to Boston, Plymouth,
Provincetown and other points on
Massachusetts bay. In the sessions of
the committee Senator Harding has
impressed me as a man of sound busi
ness judgment, and in mingling with
the public he has demonstrated his
tact, good humor and broad construc
tive ideas. The function of this com
mittee is to arrange for the federal
government's participation in the cel
ebration of the 300th anniversary of
tne landing of the Mayflower.

whoops.-
From early England in' harvest
time, the scene shifted to the new
land, and- as the Indians were danc
ing, a group of Pilgrims in historic
costumes, entered.
Then the various nationalities
who came to the shores of the "prom
ised land" were pictured in turn.
Tiny girls did a Dutch dance, followed
by an old-time Virginia reel. This
was the only dance in which grown-
f ups participated. Twelve women who
are members of the community club
classes, presented this dearly-loved
dance, dressed in Colonial costume.
A Highland fling, the only solo
number on the programme, was splen
didly done by lone Leach. Spanish,
Norwegian, Swedish, German, Russian
and Hungarl-n folk dances were pre
sented by groups of litt'.e girls.
The pageant was brought down to
date with athletic stunts and games
presented by all the children in all
ensemble number. Boy scouts did
w'gwagging. the girls played gayly
about in circle games, and the boys
formed pyramids and did tumbling
stunts. . .
The programme was given under
the direction of Miss Jewell Tozier,
Miss Marjorie Brewer and Owen
Carr, directors of the playground.
The band concert followed the chil
dren's pageant.

Harding Delighted by Gift
of Hood River Cherries.
liult Sent by A. W. Bishop. Boyhood
I'rirn d of hrnHtr' Nominrfl De
clared to Be All-Arouml .Man's Man.
TT OOD RIVER, Or.. Aug. 2L (Spe-
XX cial.) A. W. Bishop, an engineer
at the refrigerating plants of the
Apple Growers' association, has just
received a letter from his old play
mate and boyhood companion. Senator
Warren Harding, or "Doc" Harding, as
the republican presidential nominee is
known to men who grew to manhood
with him in Marion, O. Mr. Bishop
sent a box of Hood River cherries to
Senator Harding. The letter follows:
"For. both myself and Mrs. Hardine
I want to write a grateful line of ap
preciation lor your gift of the won
derful box of Oregon cherries. I wish
you might know how much delight
they nave furnished us at our dining
table."
Mr. Bishop, until he was 31 years
old, was a close neighbor of the Hard
ing family. When Senator Harding
first purchased the Marion Star, ac
cording to Mr. Bishop, the young men
of the town made the office their ren
"On many occasions," declares Mr
Bishop, "I have turned the old hand
press and run off a part of the day's
papers. warren Harding is an all-
round man's man. He won the respect
of us fellows even when we were
youngsters. We are still ready to
fight for him."
The Portland symphony orchestra
will need $20,000 this year to meet
the cost of the increased .number of
concerts, and more subscribers and
larger subscriptions are necessary.
Such is the statement of Guy W. Tal
bot, chairman of the finance commit
tee, .who is appealing to loyal Port-
landers to make possible the most
successful season of the organiza
tion. In addition to six symphony con
certs which will be given Wednes
day evenings at the Heilig theater.
from November until April, several
popular concerts will be given at the
auditorium. In order to obtain the
finest soloists possible, plans for this
year must be perfected now. says Mr.
Talbot.
Since the committee anticipates a
considerable return from the public
concerts a guarantee fund will be
asked for this year rather than di
rect contributions. Any funds over
and above expenses will be returned
pro rata to subscribers. The guaran
tors are expected to pay for all tick
ets, .but will have the privilege.' of
reserving seats one day in advance
or the public sale.
Other Cities Raise Funds.
Other cities throughout the United
States are raising large sums of
money for next season's concerts.
Among them are Los Angeles with a
budget of $125,000; Seattle, $80,000;
ban i'rancisco, $75,000; Minneapolis,
?6i.UU0.
Kansas City, Mo., is planning to
organize a symphony orchestra, call
ing for an annual appropriation of
$100,000 each year for three years.
The construction of a large audi
torium to house the orchestra is pro
posed, the founding of a musical con
servatory and the organization of a
community chorus which will devote
itself to the presentation of oratories
and other choral works and grand
opera with complete productions.
Portland's symphony orchestra re
cently closed its most successful sea
son. It is mentioned with the lead
ing orchestras in the United States.
In a recent issue of "Musical Amer
ica" appears this statement:
Loa AnselH Haa Tvro.
"Today Boston, Philadelphia, Ro
chester, - Detroit, Cleveland, Cincin
nati, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis.
San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and
every important town of. the country
has its own permanently endowed or
chestra. - Los Angeles has two and
New York maintains three principal
ones."
After mentioning the large sums
raised recently by other cities for
symphony orchestras in their com
munities, Mr. Talbot asks in a letter
which he is sending to citizens of
Portland: "Is Portland, recently
termed by a newcomer 'The Boston
of the West, to fail in raising the
relatively small sum of $20,000?"
The board of directors is comprised
of Mrs. Henry Corbett, Mrs. Robert
Strong, Eric V. Hauser, W.. P. Olds
and Kurt Koehler. On the finance
committee with Mr. Talbot are Edgar
B. Piper and Charles F. Berg. Mrs.
M. Donald Spencer is business manager.

son. Robertson declared yesterday that
he thought the checks were good. He

NEW FIRE LAWS PLANNED
Ordinances Will Eliminate Possi
bility of Traps.
' Changes in fire hazard conditions
existing in rooming houses, hotels,
apartment houses and other places in
Portland are to be provided in an
ordinance to be submitted to the city
council, probably next Wednesday.
Mayor Baker yesterday requested
City Attorney LaRoche to prepare the
ordinance in accordance with recom
mendations and findings of Fire Mar
shal Grenfell and Building Inspector
Plummer, who were asked to investi
gate conditions following the recent
Elton Court fire, in which four per
sons lost their lives.
The ordinance as it will be prepared
will require the protection of ele
vator shafts, laundTy and other chutes,
fire Escapes, entrances to fire escapes
and other parts of buildings where
there is danger of persons 'being
trapped in case of fire.
THRESHING DONE 45 YEARS
Record of Sweet Home Resident Is
Considered Unique.

This is the 45th consecutive year
in which O. H. Russell, of Sweet
Home, who served several years as'
