LARGE CROWD EXPECTED Portland Manufacturers, Jobbers and Merchants Lay Extensive Flans tor Annual Event. , Seventy thousand Invitations have been sent throughout the 14 west ern states, British Columbia and Alaska by Portland manufacturers, jobbers and wholesalers, inviting re tail merchants to attend the tenth annual Pacific northwest merchants convention, commonly known as "Buyers' w-eek," to be held here Au gust 7-12. Already acceptances are being re ceived at Buyers' week headquar ters, and indications are that the at tendance will be ire excess of that of last year, when 1600 visiting buyers registered. Several letters have been received from merchants in Petersburg, Wrangle. and Ketchikan, Alaska; British Columbia and Mon tana to the effect that the writers are planning attending the conven tion. Replies from merchants in California, Idaho, Utah and Wash ington also have been received -asking for more complete details of the programme for the week. Public Auditorium Kngagwl, The executive committee is mak ing elaborate preparations for a record-breaking attendance. To ac commodate the visiting buyers at the various entertainment functions the public auditorium has been en gaged for two events, and two floors cf the Chamber of Commerce, in cluding the main dining room and the green room, have been reserved for the annual dinner. Many entertainment features are being scheduled, including a fash ion show, receptions, smokers, the ater parties for women buyers, auto mobile rids, a night excursion on the Willamette and other events. Portland's wholesale and jobbing houses and manufacturing plants will hold open house during the week. Goods wili be on display ana a corps of employes in each estab lishment will be on hand to escort the visiting buyers through the dis play rooms, and heads of firms will be on hand to greet their patrons. Rail Fare Refund Planned. As an inducement to stimulate buying, the executive committee has decided to follow the custom estab lished in- former years and refund one round-trip railroad fare to each firm which purchases goods amount ing to at least $500. This rebate is applicable only to fares paid on the certificate plan of one and one-half fare. Visiting buyers s'ho come to Portland by automobile or boat will receive the same rebate, based upon the railroad fare from their home town. . Arrangements have been made with the officials of the local auto mobile camp to extend courtesies to visiting buyers who come by auto mobile and who dsire to remain in the camp during their stay tn Port land. It is said that a number of persons have expressed a desire to avail themselves of these privileges. TAXES HELD INVESTMENT Dividends Exceed All Others, Says Dr. D. C. Sowers. That the ' money paid out in taxes Is by far the best investment made by the average family Is the contention of D. C. Sowers, director of the Akron, O., bureau of municipal-research. He declares that divi dends from taxes exceed those of other investments, taking as an il lustration the fact that while a fam ily may pay $100 a year in taxes on a house, it costs a local govern ment usually more than that to edu cate one child of the family for one year. Dr. Sowers, who is a former Uni versity of Oregon professor, was in 0 BISHOPS GOMING Ell Church Heads to Arrive in Advance of Delegates.

Before coming to Oregon in 1915 he was Identified with the Carnegie foundation and traveled extensively. He was a $taff member of the6 Day ton bureau of research, and later became the director of the Akron bureau. He will return to Ohio this week after having spent his vaca tion in western states. "Having its origin 15 years ago through a group of New York men interested in getting more returns from the tax dollar, the bureau of municipal research is now an im portant factor in the government of many American cities," said Dr. Sowers. "The bureaus are usually organized as unofficial bodies to make a dispassionate study of civic problems in order to effect a maxi mum return on the tax dollar. An important by-product of such a bu reau is that city hall affairs are speeded up, simply because an unof ficial group is known to be on the watch." J LUMBERMEN TP FROLIC PICNIC TO BE HELD AT BON NEVILLE WEDNESDAY. Games ot All Sorts and Old Fash ioned Lemonade to Feature Up-River Outing. Lumbermen of Portland are gbing to forget forest fires and domestic ' and export orders, lock their of fices and journey to Bonneville Wednesday, where they will hold their annual picnic. The affair, ac cording to its promoters, promises to be "the greatest thing that has happened on the Pacific coast since the San Francisco earthquake." The press agent declares that there is going to be lemonade on the grounds "an old-fashioned bar rel of lemonade," he says. "There will be a dipper and everyone can help himself. This year it will be against the rules to stick your arm in any farther than the elbow. We hate to be mean about rules, but last year after the picnic we found in the bottom of the lemonade bar rel a fountain pen, three rings, one bracelet, a set of false teeth, a back comb and a plug of chewing tobacco, and we want to avoid that sort of thing this year; it is too much trou ble for the committee to locate the owners." There will be games and sports of all kinds at the picnic. Featured among the events .will be a 'Tars' contest" for wholesalers. The co-n-mittee in charge is composed of '.he following: Carl Crow, Fred Cutler, Elmer Xanten, Forrest Haworth, Fred Roblln, Harry Officer, H. B. Van Duzer, Lloyd Wentworth, Ralph Burnside, Fred Hart and Charles Miller.

" UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene, July . (.special.) ai me close of the first half of the sum mer session yesterday the enroll ment on the campus had reached a total of 353, or seven in excess of the figures for the session of last year. With the Portland enroll ment approximately BOO, the total for the combined summer session reached 850, or almost exactly the number in the preliminary estimates by Earl Kilpatrick, director of the sessions. . Of the campus enrollment 163 are men and 190 women. The graduate work mostly is concentrated on .the campus, with many of the courses in Portland given for undergraduates. A total of 88 graduate students are enrolled in classes on the campus, a larger number than usual in the summer sessions. vention, according to a letter just received by John W. Lethaby, ex ecutive secretary of the Oregon dio cese, from the Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Gaiilor, president of the bishop's council. Bishop Gailor stated that a special meeting of the bishops had been called a week in advance of the convention to consider the proposed changes in the prayer book, and to prepare resolutions covering the pro posed changes in proper shape for submission to the convention. This announcement means that Portland will be favored with the presence of 1-00 of these eminent clergymen for almost a month, in stead of three weeks, as was origi nally anticipated. Never, before has a religious convention asembled in Portland, which has brought auch a large number of national figures to the city. There are lav bishops in the Ameri can church. About 120 are expected here at some time during the con vention. It is probable that about 10 bishops will be absent, including the retired and Infirm members of the college. One hundred v bishops have already sent in their reserva tions to the diocesan office for ho tel rooms, with the exception of a few bishops who desire to reside in private homes, the entire college will be housed at the Multnomah hotel. ' The convention will not only bring the college of bishops to the city, but also about 4&0D eminent clergy men and leading churchmen. Among the latter will be many of the lead ing business men and financiers of the nation. Committee Faces Problem. The problenvwhich the entertain ment committee is now facing is to get comfortable living Quarters for these clerical delegates sand lay dep uties. Fifteen hundred have already sent in their reservations, some of tnem asking the committee to re-, serve an entire house within a short distance of the auditorium where the main convention sessions will be held. Others are more concerned about having definite arrangements made for them to see the Columbia river highway, Crater lake, and other beauty spots in the state, while others want to take a try at salmon or trout fishing. Instead of spending their vaca tions in some popular eastern sum-, mer resort, a large number of east ern churchmen are planning on bringing f heir families to the con vention and enjoying their vacation in the northwest. Each mail at the diocesan office brings in new re quests for literature on Oregon and its scenic points. ' . Presiding Bishop Is 87. The presiding bishop of the Epis copal church, who will be one of the 100 to arrive by August 30, is the Most Rev. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, D.D LL.D., bishop of Missouri. He Is 87 years old and has been presid ing bishop of the American church for six consecutive triennial con ventions, or since 1904. . There have been 46 triennial con ventions of the American church, 18 of which have been held in Phila delphia arid 13 in New York city. This is the fourth time the conven tion has .met west of the Mississippi river. The other three western con ventions were: Minneapolis, 1895; San Francisco, 1901, and St. Louis, 1916. Telephone Receivership Denied. MARSHFIELD, Or., July 8. (Spe cial.) John S. Coke, Judge of the circuit court of Coos county, refused to appoint a receiver for the Oregon Export Lumber company on petition of the Coos & Curry Telephone com pany. Judge Coke, in making the decision, said that a suit for recov ery could not be started ttrough an action at law by such a small cred itor. He eaid that the. company al ready had an attachment against the Oregon Export company, and no benefit could accrue to the telephone company through a receiver. MASS MEETING IS HELD Beaverton Shop Strikers Hear La bor Ijeaders Talk. BEAVERTON, Or., July 8. ?Spe cial.)
