C. W. Hodson. Who Will Welcome
Delegates.
In harmony In the effort to sescure suit
able legislation at the next sefi of
the legislature.
The conference will be called to order
tomorrow morning In the convention
room of the Commercial club on the
sixth floor of the new club building.
President C. W. Hodson will call the
conference to order and welcome the
delegates to the city. Ho will then In
troduce Judge L. R. Webster, who has
had charge of the road Improvement
which haa placed Multnomah county in
the front rank of good rotid counties,
who will preside at the conference.
It la expected that jnore than J00
delegates will be in attendance at the
open meeting. There is no program for j
this meeting, and it Is expected that
after a UTorough discussion of the good
iwtua Bxi.ua.uun me conierence wui gei
down to business and outline some plan
by which the good roads campaign can
be carried on pending the convention of
the Jeglslature and the consideration of
good roads laws there.
Praming- Highway Lit.
'According to the general scheme
tinder which the conference has been
called, strong men will be elected, rep
resenting all sections of the Btate, and
Into their hands will be given the fram
ing of a highway law for Oregon which
will furnish the machinery and the au
thority for the construction of per
manent and scientifically constructed
highways throughout the state.
As important, however, as the legis
lative end of the work is the missionary
work that It Is hoped the conference
will undertake. It is desired to effect a
permanent organization of the confer
ence, the object of which will be to
preach good roads and work for their
construction at all times and through
out Oregon. It will be the purpose of
this organization to creato public senti
ment and to educate the people of Ore
gon to the necessity of constructing
good roads in every county.
It is expected that this permanent
organisation will select some man to
take active charge of this work of edu
cation, whose sole duty It will be to
carry the campaign for good roads ac
tively into every county in Oregon. For
this position Judee Webster has been
prominently mentioned. Ho has made
the work one of his specialties and as 1
result has established the good road
movement In Multnomah county on 1
dolid basis. John H. Scott of Marlon
county, who Is the president of the ore
gon Good Roads association, is also
spoken of for the position.
Funds Will Be Baised.
,If the permanent oiganlzution does
appoint such a man it is expected that
funds will be raised by subscription or
other means for the payment of his sal
ary, pending such time as the state
legislature by enacting a law providing
for the construction of state roads
under state authority shall have cre
ated a position to take the place of the
man selected by the conference.
The conference will meet at !i o'clock
tomorrow morning. A second session
will be heW in the afternoon and
third In the evening
There Is an old women In Portland
who has been causing the postal au
thorities no end of trouble of late by
repeatedly using canceled stamps on let
ters and papers which she wished to
send away. The woman in question is
82 years of age and lives all alone in
Alblna.
When the woman Is called to time she
always says that she has merely made
a mistake and that she will not do it
again, l'ostal inspector O. (' Riches has
interviewed the old lady twice and each
time she lias begged off from punish
ment. If she keeps up the practice the gov
ernment authorities will be compelled to
take action There is a fine of 10 for
such an offense. The Inspectors, how
ever, are hoping that the old woman

Visit of Edward to Kaiser

Kronenberg, Germany, Aug. 19. All
In reudlnuBS for the meeting tomor
row of King Edward and Kaiser Wll
helm here, to which Is attached tho ut
most diplomatic Importance on account
f tho delicate situation In European af
tans at present. The king will stop
over on his way toMarlenlmd. where ho
goes for the batha. The kaiser arrived
promptly at noon today.
Tho kaiser haa only resented Ed
ward's attempts to form a powerful de
fensive alliance with Russia and
France and the success of the king's
plans, so far, is said to have piqued the
German monarch.
Tho nggreBBlvo tactics of the kalsor
on the? other liiuuL have been one of
chief disturbing el. merits in England's
affairs.
The German papers have gone so far
as to counsel against Germany consid
ering the visit of the king a great cause
for 1oy They have pointed out that
tho king's visits to Russia and other
countries were much more formal and
they speak of his meeting with the
kaiser as "a passing greeting" They
say that In view of the visits of the
kaiser to I,ondon, the king should go to
Berlin.

FOUR CHILDREN
WATSOR SUED HI
OIL LAUD DEAL
Suit for 33,975 damages against D.
M. Watson because of his connection
with a Polk county oil deal has been
begun in the circuit court In the name
of the Polk County Oil company, a con
cern that came into existence In March
of the present year, and of which Wat
son himself is the president.
According to tho complaint, WatFon
took a lease on 320 acres of oil and
mineral bearing land in Polk county,
and the company was formed to exploit
this land, which was leased from H. F.
Whiteaker and sub leased by the com
pany. Approximately half of the capi
tal stock of $100,000 was unissued, be
ing held as treasury stock. The Wat
son lease was accepted by the company
in payment of the other haJf of tho
shares, subscribed by Watsnn.
It is now alleged mat u arson nas
made the lease valueless by fraudu
lently stopping the work of develop
ment of the oil w.-lls. one provision of
the sub-lease being that the lease should
bo forfeited unless one well were com
pleted in four months and others at in
tervals of 10 days until 20 wells were
finished. It is charged that June 19
Watson fraudulently unit work and de
stroyed the eorisid. ration for tho leiuse
and destroyed HJso the prospective
profits, which are estimated at $1,500 a
year for 10 years.
The company also sues for $12,475,
the vV.tie of the unissued treasury
stock. The total of the damages
claimed reaches $3.1.975. The oflcors
of the company, besides Watson, are
K. Mall. try, the vice-president, and F.
M. t'olwel), secretary and treasurer.
EAST SIDE DAS
EVE ON KEY
The east side thinks that It is entitled
to considerably more than half the
$1,000,000 which is to be raised by the
bond Issue provided for recently by
referendum vote, and the business men
of that part of the city are uolng after
what they want vigorously.
A committee from the East Side Busi
ness Men's club, consisting of 1 'an Kel
laher, H. H. Newhall. II. A. Calef. O. S.
Fulton and A. F. McFaul. has been sent
to appear before the nark commission
at 4 o clock this afternoon and state the'
warns or tne east side. A committee
from the West Alblna club will also
be present and add the voices of Its
members to the argument.
"We feel." said Charles A. lileglow of
the firm of Markell & Co.. today, "that
we ought to have considerably more
than half of that $ 1.000. 000. The west
side is already well provided with parks
while over here we have hardly any
thing in that line. Rut we have the ma

badly burned in a fire which destroyed
a tenement building ort?East One Hun
dred and Twelfth street today. Many
of the occupants of the building Jumped
and many others were rescued. It is
believed at least 20 were hurt. The
police think the flames were started by
a firebug.
Perlln. Aug. 10. The attitude of the
public toward tho visit of King Edward
to Germany tomorrow Is the subject of
general discussion today and It is re
marked that there is an absence of the
usual enthusiasm over such events.
In the order for the expenditure of
nearly a million dollars on tho forth
coming army maneuvers, military lend
ers today see a design on the part of
tho kaiser to Impress the world with the
fighting ability of this country. It Is
expected that the demonstration will be
the greatest ever aeon in time of peace.
The display, It is understood, was sug
gested partially bv the great fleet man
euvers of tho United States and England.
