OF COAST C0ND1NS INSECT PESTS SUBJECTED -TO CLOSE OBSERVATION JOHN BUSCH WANETD Dr. Z, Levin Will Endeavor to Discourage Those . Unfit ted From Immigrating, As (i literary man and a scholar, bent on learning all he can of conditions along the Pacific coast before the flood of immigrants pours ltno the country through the Panama Canal, Dr. Z. Levin arrived In Portland yesterday In the in terest of many Jewish societies of Eu rope. Dr. Levin disclaims any such honor as being officially the representa tive of these organizations, but he ex pects to make full reports to .them, so they may discourage the penniless from listening to the highly colored tales re lated by greedy steamship agents. Already in It apparent that many Jewish people are buying steamship tkets on the instalment plan, putting their savings Into their tickets, so, when the canal Is open, they may rush to the American Pacific coast." said Dr. Levin ast night at the Multnomah hotel. That is very bad. because when they reach here they will have nothing, they will be ignorant of American customs and language, and will fall victims of temptation and be led into crime. What the Jewish societies of Europe want is mo tacts about tnis west coun try as they really are. not as they are advertised by the transportation compa les, whose sole object appears to be lie gaining of a passenger fare, regard less of how the traveler gets along unr der the new conditions once he is here." Dr. Levin formerly was professor of medicine in the University of Southern California, but has made a study of so ciological and economic conditions. He will lecture Tuesday nlRht before the Independent Order of B'Nal B'Rtth at Manchester hall, on the Jewish Immi gration problem, and will seek to im press the Jews of Portland with the ne cessity of caring for their kinsmen when they do seek these shores from Europe. He does not expect a larger influx of Jews from Russia, Oermany. Prance and the Balkan borderland than people of other nationalities, but Is concerned with their welfare because he is of the same race. "We will encourage only those people to coma here who are qualified to till the soil, work In the shops, and perform actual work In the world with their hands. We will discourage the would-be broker, the small merchant, the man who expects by the same sharp prac tices he found gainful In Kurone to come nere to compete with his kind in a land of alien customs, language and ideals." ' Dr. Levin expects to continue his trln aiong ine coast aner nis investigations here are over. He declared all Jewish societies In this country are already preparing to neip meir people from abroad when they reach the coast, and prophesied even greater activities as the canal immigration increases. rV 1 -...-. jf?w vi i ' ,- .1 " 'f;; A ' i i j w ft 1 same : S j fe"'- - -j- --" " ;'"" " .

Presi dent Albert G. Clark of . the Pacific Coast Advertising association has writ ten, asking them to fall into line with a program of cooperation which the heads of the organization are formulating. Mr. Clark was president of the Portland Ad club last year.

If Oregon farmers could save the part of their crops de stroyed by Insect enemies they would see their Incomes Increase S 13, 000, 000 an nually. If the timber Interests could stop the de.vastatlon of forests by harm ful Insects they would "conserve na tional resources" In timber by the fur ther sum of $4,000,000 annually. If stock men could protect their animals and livestock products from the ravages of Insect hordes they would add vast though unknown sums to their annual Incomes. And If, all these producers could add to their Incomes the expense of fighting insect pests they would add further large sums to their annual prof its. , In recent years a great deal has been done to learn and put into practice methods of controlling the insect pests. There are many associations of trained men who are doing their ut most to hold the Insect army In check and devise, means of carrying the war Into the enemy's country.

Regarding the meeting, - Mr; King- said: At the conference it was agreed that the engineers should recommend to Sec retary Lane that he urge upon congress the necessity of arranging some sys tem whereby settlers will know exactly what the Irrigated lands and mainten ance costs will total. "Under the present system, settlers have no means of knowing what the maintenance costs will be from year to year, and as a result there has been some dissatisfaction expressed. It was the concensus of opinion that a scheme could be worked out whereby a prospec tive settler could be given exact Infor mation as to the amount of money he would have to spend each year In this regard, and that It should oe done.
