AsptrKsrta !raually Vaualsh.
For 10 days the gubernatorial divi
sion of the campaign has been the
enter of Interest. The large crop
of aspirants who were in evidence a
month ago are rapidly being disposed
of by the process of elimination. It
looks, at this time, as though in the
final line-op there will be a field of
three if not four on the republican
primary ballot, albeit influences have
smd industriously at work striving
to bring about a two-man race Ben
Olcott. Incumbent, and some other
candidate behind whom all the Olcott
opposition can be concentrated and
solidified.
Selection of Governor Olcott's oppo
nent lias been the principal concern
of the various aspirants. On this
point there were two rumors yester
dayone to the effect that the oppo
nent would be determined on lmme-
aiaieiy, isa ui Diner iimi lue ueui"
sien would be held up for a week and
possibly two weeks, until the return
f Ueorge H. Kelly from the east.
Mayer Baker Oat ( Rare.
The most startling turn the guber
natorial campaign had was when
George I. Baker announced that he
would not be a candidate for gover
nor, but would remain to guide the
destinies of Portland as mayor for
tte remainder of his term. This state
ment created more than a mild sensa
tion, for up to within a few days be
fore Mayor Baker bad frequently said
that be would seek the post at Salem.
It was the opinion of the street that
Mayor Baker would bs the most for
midable man Governor Olcott would
have to meet because of the mayor
being so well known throughout the
state and also Mr. Baker's recognised
ability as a first-class single-handed
campaigner.
With Mr. Baker out. the other as
pirants perked up and several flocked
to Portland and have been camping
here ever since to be In on the ground
. Zioor.
Mr. Kelly n Short Visit.
Coincident with Mr. Baker's de
cision Mr. Kelly arrived from Cali
fornia; remained here about 36 hours
and then headed for the east. It has
been an Impression that Mr. Kelly
would not be a candidate If Mr. Baker
ran. and during the brief spell he
"was In Portland gossip had it that he
Dad become more than a possible can
didate. Testerday friends of Mr.
Kelly stated that he will announce
himself on his return home.
Another development of yesterday
Was the report that reinforcements
u to town for L L Patterson. Of
the sundry and divers tentative can
didates for governor. Senator Patter
son is the only one who qualifes as a
"dirt, farmer. The state senator has
a farm which he operates himself at
Kola, in Polk county, across the Wil
lamette river from Salem. He Is a
member of the farm bureau and offi
cers of the farm bureau and of the
state grange are said to have taken
a keen interest In his candidacy. It
is further declared in the hotel lob
bies that If Senator Patterson is se
lected to be pitted against Governor
Olcott ha will have the backing of
the farmers of the state. Those in
charge of the elimination programme
are said to have been much Impressed
by this promised agricultural vote.
Mr. Beam Is I Race.
Appearance on the scene of the
farmers representatives was said to
have somewhat jeopardized Mr.
Kelly's prospects aa Senator Patter
son's friends were urging action In
stead of waiting until the return of
Mr. Kelly about February IS.
Louis E. Bean, speaker of the house,
la still to be reckoned with. He is in
position to run if so Inclined. Owing
to the long friendship existing be
tween Mr. Kelly and hlmseif he
would not run If the latter should
be a candidate, but there Is no such
restraining Influence with regard to
fsenator Patterson.
Directors of the elimination move
ment are said to be considering Sen
ator Patterson. Mr. Kelly and Charles

There are 30 in the home at present
and only three are able to pay for

Beggary Faced By Poor.
"The poor would have to beg, steal
or starve." declared an official of
the public welfare bureau, "if the
community chest does not receive
enough money to cover Its manifold
duties."
Replies on down the line bear the
same story. The defeat of the chest
would bring suffering, and bring it
at a total cost that will far exceed
the sacrifice of a liberal gift in the
beginning.
Cities of the northwest which have
Indorsed the community chest are
looking to Portland this year for an
Inspiration in their own campaigns.
The success here may well mean the
success or failure in other cities which
are planlnng to finance their needs

"The Seattle community fund and
its thousands of enthusiastic support
ers are watching with deep Interest
the progress of the Portland cam

Burleson, executive secretary of the
Seattle community fund. "Since the
success of the campaign In Portland
last year was largely the incentive
that caused Seattle to undertake this
modern and progressive method of fi
nancing its social service agencies, it
goes without saying that Portland has
our best wishes for success in her sec

she will put it across with the same
creditable result that the Rose City
always secures.'
Tacoma has also expressed keen In

plans a similar drive on March 1.
Conference Is Called. e
Every worker of the 6000 who can

in a big noon conference at the Mult

will probably evolve new strategy for
the clean-up work of the drive.
Foreign corporations have been more
liberal this year than last, according
to H. R. Blauvelt, chairman of the
foreign corporations bureau. Mr.
Blauvelt reported that $1500 more has
been obtained already from this source
than the total last year. Some pledges
were still outstanding and the work

Insistence That Workers Be Able
to Read, Write and Speak
English Suggested.
Insistence on the part of all em
ployers that employes should be able
to read, write and speak the English
language was suggested yesterday by
John C. Veatch. assistant United
States attorney, as the surest and
quickest means of doing away with
this country s troubles resulting from
its foreign population. The suggestion
was made In an address at the lunch
eon of the Civic league aln conjunc
tion with the social workers and the
American Association of University
Women at the Benson hotel.
Mr. Veatch said that 65 per cent of
those awaiting action before the
United States grand jury here are
of foreign birth. This, he said, was
the case in a city where probably
less than 10 per cent of the popula
tion were born in foreign countries.
"This Is due to conditions under
which the foreigners coming here
live," he said. "They were not crim
Inals when they came. . However,
they are many times misled by 'walk
lng delegates.' or by their unfarall
iarity with this country's customs
and laws. If they Immediately learned
the language of this country sucn
would not be the case.

When the heavy snowfall In
Washington, D. C, crushed the
roof of the Knickerbocker motion-picture
theater, killed more
than 100 persons and injured
scores of others, a former Port
land man, now in - the marine
corps, was called upon to lead
in the rescue. It was Lieutenant
M. Vernon Parsons, formerly a
member of the state legislature
and a candidate for secretary of
state in the last election.
Lieutenant Parsons directed
his marines for practically 24
hours without relief and aided
greatly in the rescue work.
Lieutenant Parsons enlisted
early In the world war and won
his commission on the field
with the 2d division. He was
discharged following his return
to the United States and locat
ed here in Portland. Later he
was recommissioned and sent to
Washington for duty.

LEGE. Corvkllis. Feb. 4. (Special.)
An appropriation of $150,000 from the
federal government for fighting
white pine blister rust on the Pacific
coast has been approved by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace and probbly
will be included In the urgent defici
ency bill now before congress. Word
of the action has just been received
by H. P. Barss, head pathologist at
the Oregon experiment station who,
as commissioner for the west on the
advisory board of American plant
pathologists, called the blister rust
conference in Portland last December.
Professor Barss said: "The white
pine blister rust has caused millions
of dollars damage in the eastern
states where a determined fight Is
being waged against it. In Europe
reforestation with white pine has
been abandoned on account of it.
'The disease was discovered on the
Pacific coast for the first time late
last fall. Government scouts were
sent out Immediately to ascertain the
extent of infestation. They reported
that the rust had worked south from
British Columbia to Port Townsend
and ML Vernon. Presence of this
outbreak constitutes a grave menace
to the millions of feet of five-needle
pines in the western forests. Stand
ing pine timber valued at $220,000,000
Is now threatened.

Foreign Trade Supremacy Shown
and Municipal Development
Keeps Pace With Times.
Community campaigning, plus com
munity aggressiveness, woo many
things for Portland during 1921, and
so long as the spirit continues. Fort
land will gain what the city rightly
deserves but has not always obtained
in years gone by.
This is the keynote ef Mayor
Baker's annual report which was com
pleted yesterday. Last year, accord
ing to the mayor, Portland has reaped
the harvest from community cam
paigning and community aggressive
ness sown during the last two or
three years.
"Portland went out for the things
that belonged to Portland," the re
port states, "and success has been
the result and will continue to be
the result as long as the spirit lasts.
The rail rate decision, which was
gained only by fighting, has brought
a harvest of business which belonged
to Portland, but which formerly
went elsewere while Portland suf
fered." The Columbia basin rate decision
according to the mayor, has been a
tremendous stimulus to Portland's
business and industrial affairs, open
ing the port to ships which have
taken vast quantities of wheat, ap
ples and other products to the orient
and other parts of the world.
Exports Reacfc: Huge Proportions.
"Due to this decision," he continues,
this port has become a great wheat
shipping center. Portland probably
will rank as the fourth grain ex
porting port in the United States,
the amount of wheat along shipped
during the calendar year of 1921 hav-
inK been 37.240.987 bushels, and. in
lumber the foreign export reached the
total of 174,170.136 board feet. The
flour exported amounted to 1,296,041
barrels and the export of apples to
taled 500.000 boxes."
The port of building permits, as
well as building Inspections and pub
lic works permits and inspections, in
dicates vastly increased building ac
tivity.' A great increase in water
services indicates the growth in
population and the number of resi
dences. The receipts and reports of
the dock commission, the mayor's rer
port states, show unprecedented in
crease in the harbor, shipping and
commercial activities and the reports
of other departments of municipal
service all tell a story of development
in every line.
Portland Leads in Development.
"Portland has had the distinction
during the year of leading cities of
the northwest and, in fact, in most
parts of the United States in growth
and development," the report states.
"This city has had more of the ac
tivity and less of the problem of un
employment and depression than the
average city, due in part to commer
cial conditions which have favored
this vicinity, and in part to an en
ergetic community spirit and an op
timistic population."
In referring to shipping and har
bor conditions, the mayor cites the
fact that the port's' total exports in
1921 were 1.656,702 short tons, as com
pared with 855,826 in 1920, and in
value $66,296,437 in 1921, against $64,
846.274 in 1920.
"This increase has been due in part
to rate conditions," the report con
tinues, "and in part to the vast har
bor and dock facilities provided in
the last two or three years. The
construction activities of the dock
commission during the last year have
been applied particularly to the con
struction of a 15,000-ton drydock and
the further development oi terminal
No. 4.
Terminal Is Big Investment.
This terminal now represents an
Investment of $5,236,291.51, and is
equipped to handle nine vessels 500
feet in length at one time, and when
completed will handle 17 such ves
sels, and the terminal trackage will
provide space for between 700 and
800 freight cars."
Portland has much to expect in the
development of Industries and man
ufacturing plants, because of the
growth of the waterborne traffic, ac
cording to Mayor Baker, for he says
that it is only natural for manufac
turies to rise at points where raw
materials are unloaded from the
marts of the world.
In building activity "the mayor's
report shows that 14,169 building
nermits. involving a total expendi
ture of $17,225,567. were issued, as
compared with 10,196 permits for
1920, Involving an expenditure of $12.
088,505. Of the total permits 2890
were for new residences.
City Improvements Expand.
During 1921 the city paved 27.98
miles of streets at a cost of $1,305,
236 and Improved a total of 33.57
miles of streets, according to the re
port. The city added 79.66 miles of
sewer to its sewerage system, mak-
ing a total of 741.13 miles of sewer
in the city.
The growth of Portland as a city
of homes is indicated by the reports
of new connections made by the
water bureau during the year, a total
of 2535 connections. According to the
report 22 miles of new water mains
were laid and steps were taken to
Increase very materially' the city's
water supply by constructing a new
dam at the headworks, thus increas
ing the "head" of the water system
and increasing the quantity of water
that can be carried through the two
Bull Run pipe lines.
In the matter of protection and
safety, the report shows that the city
took a number of steps advance. In
the fire bureau considerable new fire
equipment was installed, including
one large aerial truck, a triple-combination
pumping engine and a triple
combination pumper and hose wagon.
Police Bureau Is Active.
The police bureau had an exceed
ingly active year, according to the
report, which shows a total of 30.409
arrests. Of this number 3916 were
for speeding. 967 for bootlegging. 165
for burglary and holdups, 348 for
moral crimes, 420 for gambling. 1044
for lottery and 891 for playing cards
behind barred doors.
"The police bureau had a busier
year than ever before In Its history,
total fines collected In municipal
court being $119,617," the report
states. "It suffered a serious loss at
the end of the year, when appropria
tions for the year 1922 were very ma
terially reduced by the state tax con
servation commission. '
The report shows that from a
health standpoint, Portland had an
exceptional year. There was a de
crease in the death rate and an In
crease in the birth rate, as compared
with 1920. The 1921 death rate was

Park Development Marked
Park development was very marked
during the year. Mayor Baker states,
his report showing that practically
57 additional acres of ground were
purchased for park and playground
purposes at a cost, of $151.273 79.
Many major improvements were made
in existing parks, a total of $72,200
having been spent in this work. The
two notable features of the year in
park bureau activities were municipal
golf and the auto tourist camp.
"This was the first season that we
had the full benefit of the Eastmore
land links," the report continues.
"Funds were raised from the receipts
of the game, out of which an $18,000
clubhouse was financed. The old
county poor farm on the west side
of the city was transferred by the
county to the city for park purposes,
which is the first step in the devel
opment of another splendid 18-hole
course. The old Rose City Country
club tract also will afford a nine-hole
course.
Portland Backs Exposition.
Mayor Baker states in his report
that the people of this city indi
cated their interest in the future weal
of both cjty and state by passing a
measure - authorizing the proposed
1925 world's exposition. Although the
state legislature failed to present a
measure to the people of the state to
complete the arrangement favored by
the people of Portland, the mayor
expresses confidence that the exposi
tion financing will be settled and
the big 1925 fair held.
The establishment of the com
munity chest- plan of meeting chari
table needs was declared by - Mayor
Baker to. have proved a decided suc
cess.
In concluding his report. Mayor Ba
ker says that he feels that not only
was the year 1921 a success for
Portland, but that the year 1922
holds even greater hope for develop
ment and growth.
'Portland has the community fight
ing spirit and as long as it continues
to hold this invaluable asset we need
have no fear of the future," Mayor
Baker concludes.
