praised President Wilson and his ad
ministration for oreating the federal
reserve, which he said had saved the
country, during- its period of depres
sion, from financial runin.
E. C. Boom, ex-commander of the
American Legion in this state, said
In his address that ex-service men
are keenly alive to the fact that
the promises made to them in the
last campaign by republican poli
ticians have not been kept, and they
are now ready to look elsewhere for
relief.
VICTORY IS PREDICTED
Warliorscs Can Sec Nothing but
Cleiin Sweep of State When
Voters Go to Polls.
BOISE. Idaho, Jan. H. (Special.)
The political siren of the democrat
ic party of Idaho was sounded in
Boise this week, when on Jackson
day the leaders of the clans gathered
to orato and to counsel on ways and
means to oust the republicans from
power.
It was a representative conclave.
There were present Bourbons from
all sections and all parts of the state.
They came from far and near and
they departed confident that this Is
to be a democratic year in Idaho,
when the standard bearers of their
party will be swept into power under
popular vote of the masses. And to
'the masses they offer a cure for all
cf their present political and finan
cial ills.
Hmt Not Reckoned 'With.
Just how effective these promises
re, however, and Just how seriously
tney are taken by the people is not
clear at this time. Nor can it be said
that the Bourbons are going; to find
political sailing: as easy as they are
inclintd to predict. There are many
ehoals in the political seas of Idaho,
least among- which is not that of the
republican party, which happens at
this time to be in power.
But from a political standpoint tho
Jackson day meeting: was a sua
cess. It has a direct bearing on the
present political situation. No secret
was made of the fact that it was
purely a political gathering. Nothing
was left undone to send out a mes
tmge of cheer and political optimism
to the faithful rank and file.
Ex-Governor Hawley Prenldra.
Most of the leaders in the party
were present and they included the
heads of the so-called factions who
were drawn to the gathering for the
Bake of harmony. James II. Hawley,
ex-governor, presided and after he
had welcomed those present In a
terse address featured with harmony,
ho introduced Frank Martin, ex-at-torney-gencral
of the state, who gave
one of the main addresses.
Hobcrt H. Elder of Coeur d'Alene,
democratic national committeeman,
for. many years prominently identi
fied with leadership In the party,
brotiuht from the democratic leaders
a cheer when he assured them that
the talk of dividing the state of
Idaho by creating a new state out of
part of northern Idaho and eastern
Washington does not have the sup
port of the people of northern Idaho.
PrCKldent Wilnon la Landed.

democrats have been trying to get into
the gubernatorial race again, gave

filled up an excellent programme of
entertainment last night in the pub
lic auditorium, when the men's glee
club of the Oregon Agricultural col
lege, Corvallls, Or., appeared in con
cert. There were 22 young men in
the chorus, and the selection of voices
was wisely done, for the vocal blend
ing is highly satisfactory. The en
tire concert was a treat and fully up
to the high standard of other years.
The audience was large and quite ap
preciative eo much so that every
number was encored and extras de
manded and given. The choral di
rector is William Frederic Gasklns,
and he is entitled to much credit for
th choral success won.
The glee club Is winner In the en
tire entertaJnment, and their num
berfc, which included "Viking Song'
(Coleridge Taylor). "I'm Gwine to
Join in the Heavenly Choir" (arr. Mil
ligan); "The .Sands o Dee" (Russell),
and. a chant and serpentine sung to
the tune of the celebrated "Iowa'
song, were greeted with warm ap
plause. The best sung cnorus was
the negro spiritual, "I'm Gwine to
Sing," with a finely sung solo obll-
gato by Arthur R. KJrkham. tenor, I
Portland boy. Later Mr. Kirkham ap
peared as soloist and sang the Ruben-
stein solo, "To Me Thou Art
Flower. Mr. Kirkham, who Is a
voice student with W. F. Cask ins, has
one of the finest tenor voices in Ore
gon. It is large, agreeable quality,
with easy tone and has sugary
sweetness, with distinct diction. Mr.
Kirk ham's extra number was Sid
ney Homer's "Requiem."
Other numbers were finely ren
dered by Blair Stewart, lyric bari
tone; Sandy Begg, in amusing Lauder
songs; John Dentler, tenor; William
De Macedo, pianist; Eric Witt, vio
linist; Quincy Corrie, Bruce Wells and
Kenneth Hamblen.
The concert was one of the series
of the Ellison-White lyceum bureau.

FIRE CRUSADE IMPROVES
Oregon City Urged to Speed Erec
tion of City Hall.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 14. (Special.)
Oregon City has made decided im
provement in fire protection and fire
prevention since the fire survey con
ducted in January, 1920, according to
a report filed with the state fire mar
shal here today.
The report submitted by the fire
marshals recommends the purchase of
a light hose and chemical combina
tion car to be used for a tender to the
pumper, to carry additional hose and
to answer alarms Involving small
fires where it would be unnecessary
to take the larger equipment.
Further recommendation is made
(hat the city speed up the matter of
locating the most satisfactory site for
the construction of the proposed new
elfv hall
A spurt In the steady Increase in
crime In Multnomah county was
shown by the annual report of Sheriff
Hurlburt, completed yesterday, on
the number of prisoners handled in
the county jaiL During 1921 there
were 613 more persons housed in the
county bastile than there were In
1920, the total for 1920 being 2729 and
for 1921. 3342.
Various explanations for the
mounting crime total were offered by
men In the sheriff's office. The war.
illicit whisky and the increase in un
employment were suggested as prob
able causes for the crowded condition
of the Jail.
The sheriff has issued comparative
figures on jail population for the
past six years as follows: 1915, 2635;
1916, 1363; 1917, 2173; 1918, 2614; 1919,
2756; 1920, 2729; 1921, 3342.
Deputies Arreat 1003.
Of those in the county Jail during
1921, 1003 were arrested by the eher
ofTs deputies', 1482 by the police, 190
by the constable, 115 by probation
officials and 552 by the federal au
thorities. The sheriff with his 12
deputies is seen to have lodged nearly
as many In the county Jail as the
police did with their hundreds. This
is explained to a large degree, how
ever, by the fact that only those who
are charged with serious crimes, or
are appealing their cases from the
municipal court, were removed from
the city to the county Jail.
The number of persons jailed in
1921 for various specific crimes fol
lows: Adultery, 7; arson, 3; assault
and battery, 51; burglary, 32; con
tributing to the delinquency of a
minor, 58; drugs, 145; drunk and dis
orderly, 94; attempt to commit felony,

301; larceny by bailee, 42; larceny by
embezzlement, 10; lewd cohabitation.
11; murder and attempted murder, 38;
non-support, 03; obtaining money by
false pretenses, 32; perjury, 3; po
lygamy, 3; robbery, 62; rape, 35:
speeding, 9; sodomy, 7; threatening to
kill, 5; vagrancy, 284; violation of
prohibition law, 221; material wit
nesses, 8; miscellaneous, 227.
Federal PrlMonern Catalogued.
Federal department arrests ending
in the county Jail for the same period
were classified as follows: Drugs, 74;
Insane. 3; Juvenile. 3; larceny, 33;
miscellaneous, 193; murder. 1; rob
bery, 1; violation of prohibition law,
212; white slavery, 19, and material
witnesses, 13.
A few of the totals on the 1916
list are as follows: Assault and bat
tery, 37; burglary,. 10; contributing
to delinquency nf ft minor. 3(5: drunk '
and disorderly, 23; forgery, 25; Insane,
230; Juvenile, 86; larceny, 139; mis
cellaneous, 70; non-support, 41; ob'
taining money by false pretenses, 25
rape. 12; speeding, 25; robbery and
attempted robbery, 2; murder, 4; vag
rancy, 100; violation of prohibition
law. 130.
There has been an increase in the
robbery and attempted robbery totals
from three In 1916 to 62 in 1921, in
murder cases from four in 1916 to 38
In 1921, in rape from 12 to 35 cases,
and larceny from 139 cases to 201.

Doarh Portland Boy.
Roswell Dosch was a Portland boy,
the son of Colonel Henry E. Dosch
and Mrs. Dosch. At an early age he
showed artistic talent, modeling in
clay small animals and his favorite
horse. He went to Europe to com
plete his studies, attended the Sor
bonne, Paris, and studied modeling
under Rodin and his famous pupil,
Bourdelle. He was chosen by Bour
delle from a class of 150 Btudents to
be one of four private pupils.
Rodin suggested that he go to Rome
for painting. In order to "see color"
in his sculpture, then return to
America to digest what he had seen
and learned, and go back to Paris
for further study in two years. The
great Rodin said that Mr. Dosch "had
the talent of putting life into his
busts, one of the least common qual
ities in modeling."
When he returned to America the
young sculptor established the de
partment of modeling and free-hand
drawing at the University of Oregon.
He was about to return to Europe
when war was declared. He attended
the officers' training camp at the
Presidio, was commissioned a second
lieutenant and detailed as personal
adjutant for service at Reed college.
He died of pneumonia there November
27, 1918.
Praise Given by Mr. Prortor.
A. Phimister Proctor, one of Amer
ica's noted sculptors, said of him:
"Not only the university, but the
state of Oregon and the whole United
States lost a fine man and a fine
sculptor in his death."
The exhibit includes figures and
busts of Mrs. Sweek. Clement Aker
man, Abigail Scott Duriiway, Colonel
Henry E. Dosch, Dr. George Rebec.
"Fleurot." Mrs. Henry E. Dosch,
Albert H. Schroff, Mrs. F. O. Down
ing, Archibald F. Reddie and others.
An interesting feature of the ex
hibit wilf be the hangings. all hand

Dosch's sister.

play until February 1
