Business Men Hold Another
Meeting on Finances.
MOSES IN GREAT DEMAND
President Tan Dnier Authorized to
Appoint Committee of Seven to
Obtain Xecessarj Funds.
A second meeting of men Inter
sted In making Crater lake a world'
famous tourist resort and in linking
up with It other great attractions,
such as Klamath lake, was held in
the Tyrolean room of the Hotel Ben
son yesterday afternoon and another
committee of seven Tas authorised,
this one to have to do especially
with the financial features of the
project. H. B. VanDuier, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, presiding,
was directed to appoint those who
will have charge of this work. He
will take whatever tlmo Is necessary
in designating them.
At the first meeting, held Friday, a
committee was named to have charge
of general features, this being head
ed by Rodney L. Glisan. The project
must, it was pointed out yesterday,
have a strong financial man at its
head, one in whom the entire state
will have the utnftfst confidence, and
one of the most important things the
new committee on organisation will
have to do is to find "a Moses to
lead Crater lake affairs out of the
financial wilderness."
Voumlte Head Glvea ConnaeL
A, B. C. Dohrman, president of
the Tosemite (Cal.) park board of
directors, was again featured as the
chief speaker yesterday, relating In
a good deal .of detail the experiences
through which he and his associates
have passed in making that resort
one of the most noted in America
and in bringing It in a short time
into a paying proposition. Mr. Dohr
man expressed great faith in the
Crater lake project, and said It should
not be a hard thing to find "a Moses"
and plenty of others to put it on its
financial feet and make it a woria
attraction, and not only that but a
paying proposition for the stock
holders. Mr. Hohrman'i Idea, as expressed
at the meeting, is that it will take
a minimum of $250,000 and a maxi
mum of not more than $300,000 to put
V-ter lake to the fore, adequately
enuip It and link It up with other
scenic places near It, so that the
state could offer to tourists not only
the lake as an attraction, but a regu
lar programme of several days amid
scenic beauty of a varied nature.
Anolhrr Dohrman Kerded Here.
Mr. Dohrman was followed by Hor
ace Allbright, superintendent of Yel
lowstone park and field agent for the
bureau of parks, who promised on be
half of the government to do every
thing in his power to assist in making
of Crater lake a national and inter
national attraction.
Kdgar B. Piper, editor of The Ore
gonian, voiced the sentiments of those
present when he, in a brief talk, said
"what is needed Is a Dohrman to put
over this Crater lake project."
Mr. l'iper declared that, in his
judgment, selection should be made of
a man whose name will guarantee
success in the undertaking and who
will inspire in financial circles enough
interest to make certain that the
were: Ella E agaiiwt Donald W.
Clark. Lena Antonia against Thomas
Bubnic, Myrtle M. -against Francis E.
Hays. Henry against Cella Shafer,
and Lilian against William Harris.
Separate divorce suits filed against
each other within two days by Frank
Winer and his wlfa. Ray Winer, last
week, have been merged rto one. Mrs.
Winer filing her answer and crose
complaint yesterday In the circuit
court to the suit of her husband, the
second one recorded. The allegation!
are virtually the same as In her orig

Oregon stock man, reputed by bis
wife to be worth 9000. Mrs. Winer
declares that her hueband drove her
from him by cruel treatment. He al

lights of Portland and the company
of other men.

Fight Against Public Service Com
mission Developing.
"To preserve faithfulness to public
trust and to recall officers not con
considered conscientious" is the busi
ness in which the Public Service Re
tively used heretofore. There are now
12 such local organizations banded
together in the state association,
these being the Portland Grocers' and
Merchants' association, Business Men's
League of Salem, North Willamette
Valley Merchants' association. As

to that view of the situation and oar
plans for this year Include the un
folding of activities of real service
to the business men along with the
work of organizing them in those
communities where they are not yet
organized.
"Whenever our local associations
hava not merely been organized but
have been active, their work has
created a great public sentiment In
their favor. This is because the vital
interests of retail business men every
where are the vital interests of their
communities.
"The retailer cannot prosper any
where unless his community is pros
perous. To the retailers that is axio
matic, but it is only as organizations
of retailers become active in their
different communities that the people
of those communities wake up to this
fact.
Civic Enterprise Helped.
"They observe that the first thing
the organized retailers undertake to
do in any community is to get squarely
behind every movement for the bet
terment and the prosperity of the
community and, not merely push it
along, but more frequently it is the
organized retailers who put it over.
"The great lesson and the great
usefulness of our state organization
is in serving as a kind of clearing
house for all of these local retailers
organizations. Through the state as
sociation the wisdom and experience
developed in one is immediately
available for the help and benefit of
all the others. The benefits of tms
kind of co-operation between local
associations are obvious.
'Another angle from which tne
publlo is beginning to see the good
resulta of retail organization activity,
is ln credit and collection work. For
merly there was public antagonism to
those activities. Now the pubuo is
commencing to realize that the losses
of merchants through dead beats or
anv other kind of beats are an ex
pensa which is saddled on the 'ulti
mate cousumer' just as high taxes
and hitch freight rates are passed
along the lines of trade and are paid
in the last analysis by consumers.
It is coiner to be a hard job to
lower taxes and to lower freight
rates, but wherever the merchants
can reduce losses through unpaid bills
bv active credit and collection worn,
these econdmles flow to the ultimate
consumer in just the same way.
"Another way of making this clear
is to say that all losses are a part
of business expanse, of course, and
that wherever the merchants can re
duce their expenses ln any way, of
course they can then give the puDiic
more merchandise for their money.
"We pride ourselves on the ract
that the activities of our organiza
tions are a real service to the public
and our leaders get the greatest en
couragement from discovering that
this is being realized more and more
ln their communities."

DOUGLAS FOR ELECTION
Bond Issue for Roads Would Be
Decided on June 7.
ROSEBURG. Or., March 12. (Spe
elal.) At a meeting called by the
county court today citizen s represent
ing the Douglas County Taxpayers'
league and the chamber of commerce

should call a special election for June

11.000,000, approximately four per cent

the bonds be Issued for a short term
and that a three-mill levy be Imposed

In order that work may start on the
Camas valley section of the Coos bay

issue and that an appropriation be
made from the general fund to meet

sion. This would suffice until the
