George J. Cameron, former district
attorney and municipal judge, died at
his residence, S0O East Twelfth street,
yesterday morning. The funeral will
be held at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon from the parlors of F. S.
Dunning, East Alder and East Sixth
streets.
Judge Cameron, who- for years oc
cupied a prominent .place in politics,
became ill two months ago and stead
ily grew. worse. The direct cause of
death was Bright's disease. Although
a few days ago he believed that he
would recover, he became uncon
scious Thursday and remained so to
the end. The judge is survived by
his widow, Mrs.- Kate Cameron; his
20-year-old son, George W. Cameron;
two brothers in Scotland, and George
Graham, James Graham and William
Graham, nephew.
Born in Symington parish, Ayrshire,
Scotland. May 1, 1864, George James
Cameron received his education at
the school in Kilmarnock and at
Glasgow university. In 1879 became
to the United States, locating in Mich
igan, where he studied law and served
as a justice of the peace. In 1890 he
came to Portland, was admitted to
the bar in 1X93 and became associated
in the practice of law with A. C.
Emmons. -
Several Offices Held.
Judge Cameron affiliated with the
republican party and served in the
city council from 1898 to 1900. He
was municipal judge from 1900 to
l0i. Later he was elected district
attorney. In 1916 Judge Cameron was
elected as ;a delegate to the repub
lican national convention, receiving
more votes than any other candidate
for 'delegate. Following this he was
prominently mentioned for governor,
but concluded not to run.
In politics Judge Cameron pos
sessed marked ability as a vote
getter and his strength was not lim
ited to . Portland or Multnomah
county but was state-wide, particu
larly in eastern Oregon. As munici
pal judge his decisions were dictated
largely by the heart and his first
question to a defendant Invariably
was. "Are you married?" A married
man received more consideration, be
cause of his dependents, than a
baqhelor. for the judge kept the
family in mind in measuring out jus
tice. Judge Leyal te Scots.
Being a native of Scotland, Judge
Cameron took as active an interest in
the Scotch clans in Oregon as he did
in republican politics. He was ath
letic and worked for a playground
for the boys and men of his neigh
borhood. The Judge was one of the
most ardent advocates of soccer in
the state and he was an inveterate
baseball enthusiast- For a quarter
of a century Judge Cameron played
a prominent part in the affairs of
Portland and at one time had, pos
sibly, a larger circle of acquaintances
than any other resident of the city.
In addition to membership in Scot
tish societies, he was a member of
the Woodmen of the. World, the Elks.
Knights of Pythias and the Masonic
fraternity.

Plans already are coins forward
for the annual Portland buyers'
week to- be held August 1 to 6, and
from present Indications more buy
ers will be in the city for this event
than ever before in the history of
Portland.
An entertainment programme of an
unusual character is being worked
oat for the visitors by the Chamber
of Commerce committee in charge, it
was announced last week.
In addition Portland merchants
are getting their establishments in
readiness. Invitations already have
been eetit out to thousands of mer
chants in the 14 western states and
British Columibia and Alaska. The
responses to these invitations already
are coming In.
Goal of 2000 Set.
Last year more than 1500 buyers
were in the city in response to the
invitation of 135 local jobbers and
manufacturers. This year it is hoped
to .entertain 2000 or more buyers.'
A, feature of the buyers' week is
CRe fact that the railroad fare of
visitors is refunded by the mer
chants when the purchases of the
buyer aggregate 50.
Nathan Strauss, general chairman
of the executive committee of buyers'
week, said the Institution had proved
a great means of extending the
trade territory of Portland and had
become one of the great factors in
developing Portland's supremacy as a
commercial center.
"Buyers" week enables the mer
chants of the Interior to become
acquainted with the various firms
and results in new friendships and
the Cementing of old ones," he said.
"It has enabled buyers to become
acquainted with the large stocks of
goods carried by Portland Jobbers
and manufacturers in all lines, and
has shown them that this city is
the logical source of supply.
Portland Leads Way.
"Portland was the first city on
the Pacific coast to hold a buyers'
week and the success of the affair
is shown by the fact that every
large city on the coast now holds
similarr buyers' weeks."
The first buyers' week here was
held! in 1913, and was carried through
by a special organization of mer
chants. Nathan Strauss was largely
responsible for the success of this
first buyers' week.
After the consolidation of the Cham
ber of Commerce and the Commercial
club buyers' week was considered
so important to the growth of the
city that it was made a special ac
tivity of the Chamber of Commerce.
The ln-vltation which Is being- sent
out te buyers all over the west bears
the following announcement, inter
spersed with pictures of Portland:
"Portland bids you welcome. The
Jobbers and manufacturers of Port
land, the city that originated buyers'
week on the Pacific coast, issue thie
invitation to you to visit our city
during the week of August 1 to 6
to participate in the ninth annual
gathering of merchants from the
western and Pacific coast states.
Portland again extends its hand of
hospitality to you personally. The
city welcomes you to come and see
the activity of the Pacific north
west's largest Jobbing and manufac
turing center. In many lines it
excels the entire Pacific coast.
Many Answers Reetved.
"The object . of this annual buyers'
week and the offer of Portland job
bers and manufacturers to pay your
railroad fare to Portland and return
is to bring before you personally the
