SALEM, Or., May 13. (Special.)
That Oregon, through Governo Olcott
and Mayor Baker of Portland, has set
in motion machinery which eventu
ally may eliminate completely the nar
cotic drug traffic in the entire United
States is the trend of comment In.
many letters received recently at the
executive offices.
At a conference of western gover
nors held in Portland some time ago
to consider means for combating the
drug evil resolutions were adopted
urging government officials to par
ticipate In the campaign for improved
conditions. A plea also was made that
the question be considered one of in
ternational importance and that con
centrated action be taken to prohibit
the Importation of the drugs Into the
United "States.
At the request of Mayor Baker and
others who attended the Portland
conference. Governor Olcott recently
sent copies of the resolution to all
state executives. Although not ail
the governors have acknowledged re
ceipt of the resolutions, most of them
have written that they realize fully
the importance and seriousness of the
narcotic evil and stand ready to par
ticipate in any movement to com
bat it.
East Realties Danger.
From statements in letters received
by Governor Olcott practically all of
th. MNt.m statp executives realize
the extent of the narcotic evil, and
all agreed that immediate action was
necessary to avert disastrous conse
quences. States bordering on the Pa
cific and Atlantic coasts, which are
more accessible to water transporta
tion than the other states, apparently
are suffering most from the activi
ties of illicit vendors of the life
sanniner druers.
Although Governor Olcott has not
yet outlined any definite course for
the future, he has intimated tnat tne
proposal to. curb the narcotic drug
traffic will be carried to 'Washington,
where it will be placed before the
members of congress and President
Harding. It was said that such action
may be taken this year In view of the
fact that most of the state executives
apparently are agreeable to such a
Droe-ramme. In case it is decided
definitely to seek the assistance of
congress in the campaign, it is likely
that a conference oi all governors'
will be held in Washington. Such a
conference, It was said" would add
prestige to the movement and would
place the various representatives in
position to feel out the desires or
their constituents.
Two Executives Praised.
In most of the letters received at
the executive offices with relation to
the narcotic drug situation. Governor
Olcott and Mayor Baker have shared
In liberal praise. These officials,
several of the letters said, should
have the hearty support of the people
of Oregon in their effort to wipe out
the illicit traffic.
Besides displaying a general inter
est in any national conference that
may be called to discuss the narcotic
drug situation, a number of eastern
executives have written Governor
Olcott for copies of the resolutions
adopted at the Portland meeting.
These resolutions, the executive
wrote, will be placed In the hands of
the law enforcement chiefs of their
respective states.
Governor Olcott said today he was
highly elated over the interest taken
in the drive on narcotic drug vendors,
and believed government officials
eventually would lend the states their
assistance in meeting the situation.
PUTINS SHOW PLANNED
SPORT AND TOURIST ASSOCIA
TIONS TO EXHIBIT.
Executive Committee Appointed to
Work Out Details of Rose
Festival Eea t u re .
"With the appointment of an executive-
committee yesterday to carry out
the major problems before the Oregon
Sportsmen's and Tourists exhibition,
which will be launched at the coming
Rose Festival and made an annual
feature of the festival, this project
took on definite form. Proponents
of the exhibit declare it will be a big
thing for Portland, and that the show
will be well worth all the time and
money necessary to make it a big
success.
The executive committee was
named as follows: H. J. Ottenheimer,
representing the Chamber of Com
merce, chairman; R. W. Price, repre
senting sportsmen of the state ; Ma
jor John Guthrie, representing the
government; Cameron Squires, repre
senting the state through the Oregon
State Tourist association; S. C. Pier,
representing the city; and P. Hether
ton, executive secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce, secretary of the
committee.
The committee will meet tomorrow
afternoon at 4 o'clock at the chamber,
when sub-committees will be named
and other details mapped out. Be
cause of the short time remaining
before the Rose Festival, the commit
tee and all others enlisted in the pro
ject will work at high speed. They
reported that assurances have al
ready been received that will make
the exhibition a big drawing card.
An indoor exposition of outdoor
things describes, briefly, the exhibi
tion. Every possible phase of outing
life and recreation that can be repre
sented indoors will be shown. There
will be motion pictures, illustrated
lectures and talks by experts on ever
so many phases of the life recrea
tional. The doors will -be open to
everyone free of charge and the ar
mory has been decided upon as the
place where it will be held, in close
proximity to the rose show always a
big festival feature.
It will be open throughout the four
days of the festival. Invitations have
been sent out to various commercial
bodies of the state to have exhibits
prepared for the show and it is ex
pected the result will be that all parts
of Oregon that have large appeals
for tourists, and that includes almost
every part of the commonwealth, will
make good showings.
OREGON IN HIGH PLACE
MR. WILLIAMS PLACES STATE
IX REPUBLICAN" VANGUARD.
Record as National Committeeman
Recognized by Appointment
as Vice-Chairman.
For the first time in history a west
ern man is vice-chairman of the re
publican national committee. This
distinction is held by Ralph E. Wil
liams of Oregon, who is a candidate
for re-election. It was under the di
rection of Mr. Williams that Oregon
was the only state in the west which
was carried for Charles E. Hughes in
the 1916 campaign against Woodrow
Wilson. This was possible because
Sir. Williams had harmonized fac
tions in the party and brought the
progressives and the regulars into a
united organization.
It 4s not the function of a national
committeeman to make appointments,
for that is the pleasure of the presi
dent and the senators; nor is it the
function of a national committeeman
to make laws, as this is the work of
congress. Ttfie field of a national com
mitteeman is to- look after the hold
ing of conventions and seeing that the
party organization is working in his
home state. The position carries no
salary and the incumbent must defray
his own expenses.
Mr. Williams first was elected as
national committeeman in 1908 and
has held that position since, eo that he
is now next to the ranking officer
or tne national party organization.
It was because of his long service
and the successful performance of his
duties that he was selected for vice
chairman. As committeeman he has
carried out the policies and the plat
form of the party adopted by the
delegates of the national conventions.
The activity devoted to the party
cause was shown in the 1916 election
when Oregon of all the western states,
supported the republican candidate
for president.
Leading progressives, who were
closely allied with the late Colonel
Roosevelt, have praised his labors for
the unification of the party and Mr.
Williams now has the support of the
recognized party leaders throughout
Oregon. Will H. Hays, until recently
national chairman, has written to Mr.
Williams expressing the confidence
which the committee has in him and
hoping for his re-election. It is pointed
out that being vice-chairman Mr. Wil
liams Is in line to become national
chairman, the highest position attain
able in the republican organization-

1923 BEAVER IN DEMAND

College Annual.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, May 13. (Special.)
-Distribution of 14S3 college annuals
in five hours was the record of the
"1923 Beaver" staff when the truck
loads of books were unloaded on the
campus Thursday for general distribution.
The price with receipts purchased
two months ago is 14.25, and cash
sales of the Beaver bring $4.50. This
is a reduction from the price of last
year's book, and the general opinion
is that never before has the equal
to the 1923 book been published.
A new feature of the annual is the
"Oregffn" section, showing different
parts of the state in pictorial form.
The "college year" section shows
campus life in the most intimate
snapshots ever presented in a college

$3000 for a
Postage Stamp!
THAT was the price recently paid by a collector
for a stamp that lacked enough commercial
value to carry a letter.
Gainsborough's "Blue Boy" brought $640,000 in
New York. Last week a connoisseur in Paris paid
$30,000 for a Louis XV sofa and six chairs. A cur
rent magazine advertises candlesticks at $1000 each.
Who would be so bold as to claim that such prices
bear any relation to the cost of material or labor or
that they measure the service such articles might
render the purchaser?
In our Washington-street window this week are
shown a set of three very fine Persian Rugs. They
are a distinct form of art Oriental weaving.
They are hand woven from pure wool. They
represent about two years' skilled labor. They will
give a lifetime of service to the owner and still be
