"The public auditorium should by all n cans include a fine pipe organ." said , j,r Wetherbee, member of the public auditorium commission, yesterday. "Space for the organ will be included in the plans for the audltoruin," ' con tinued Dr. Wetherbee, who is a member of the commissions subcommittee on plans. The statement will come to a score nf Portland organizations and to many itizens us u Iconic news. Failure of the commission to plan definitely for tin organ at its last meeting whm dis appointing. A l nialive plan had been male to inaugurate a campaign for the organ, to be paid for by popular sub scription if Its cost should not be In cluded in the building budget. The organ will have great use for Sunday afternoon concerts, for organ iceitais. for great popular meetings." -aid Dr. Wethi rbee. "It will give dlg- niiv and tone to the auditorium. It will be adverilsed all over the 1'nited States that Portland has a Hplcn- I id organ In a magnificent, auditorium, and that both have been added to the . ity's convention equipment of scenery, beauty and municipal energy and at tractiveness. Such advertising for Portland could not be bought for many times the price, of the organ. I am, therefore, heartily in favor of it. and I believe other commission members also will approve installing an organ.'' Without the organ Portland's expen sive public auditorium when erected on the Market block will be a morgue, it has been said a drear, cold, unat tractive place, that will bo perhaps ad mired but little used. lr. Wetherbee said yesterday that, organ or no organ, the Portland public auditorium shall not be a morgue. On the contrary its construction will lie along liins of util ity as well as architectural beauty, and its completion will he followed by a program of use thut will include a convention nf importance at frequent intervals and use by the publ on all occasions. one of the chief arguments for the auditorium organ was advanced by Clement H. Congdon. organizer of the second world's Christian caizenshlp congress, which is to meet In Portland with delegates from every nation of tin- globe in July. 1913. "We shall have one of the greatest I organ and choir recitals in the musical lustory of the 1'nited States if the organ is installed," said Mr. Congdon. "If we do not have the organ we might almost as well get along without the auditorium. by James J. Hill. Wtdnasday, 9:30 A. M. Chairman, J. H.

WHEAT FIELD CHANGES TO WAHKIACUS HEIGHTS (ecl 0 Tbo Journal.! Klickitat. Wash., Aug. 1 2. A live wire on the map In Klickitat county, along Industrial lines, seems apparent up at Wahklacus Heights. The location a year ago was the wheat field of George Mallory and about that time Peak Bros., of Everett, Frank Hurd of Spokane, and J. O. Nelson of Hood River, appeared and acquired the holdings of Mr. Mal lory and others, and then followed the founding of a town near the front yard of the recent Ma'.lory home, which Is In the extreme northwestern part of Horse shoe Bend, a part of Klickitat noted for wheat production. Wahklacus Heights now boasts of one store, hotel,.-blacksmith shop, mall service, a number of families and much activity In the build ing of a large cement reservoir situ ated at an elevation above the town. One feature of the' new town is that the entire population is new people in Klickitat.

Frances, occupied a big leatner chair beside Presiding Judge vMcainn of the circuit Court yesterday afternoon as the par ents fought over the custody of the lad. "The boy has helped me decide this question." said Judge . McGinn, "and I shall direct that the mother be awarded his custody fur three months and the father shall then take him for three months. Their custody shall ulternate until the boy is 13 years old. when he can then decide for himself." Mrs. Van Scoy secured a divorce from her husband In id07 in Iowa. She also was given the custody of the child, who was 6 years old. The father had taken the child away before the divorce was finally settled, however, and has had the custody since. The father and son have lived in Portland the greater part of the time. Mra. Van Scoy' came to Portland three weeks ago, and started proceedings to have the Iowa decree enforced. She was represented by Attorney Hayes, while Van Scoy retained the firm of Moaer, McCue & DeParker. The two oppoelng sides prepared for a big legal fight over the son yesterday, but Judge McGinn refused to hear anything on the matter until the boy waa brought Into court. The Judge took the lad into his chambers and asked him with which parent he preferred to live. The boy replied with his mother. Each parent is willing to have the other visit the child while he la in the cus- the best way to dispose of the affair would be to allow each parent the custody for three months at a time. The father Is to pay the expenses of the child. "When the boy Is with the mother I want him to hear nothing but the best of his father," said the Judge, "and when he Is with the father I want him to hear the same of his mother. He must be taught to love both parents, and when old enough he can then choose which he prefers." SECOND MATE HELD FOR BOY'S MURDER (United Press Leased Wire.) San Francisco, Aug. 12. Charles T.
