There ;s keen competition between
organizations to be represented by lli-j
largent number atid to do the mo-it
work.

tives of a Mi-ore of organizations at a
meeting In thfc Commercial club last
night It appears that to date the Wood
men of the World will have the larg
est number on the work.
Contact Getting- Sharpar.
The. contest for this distinction will,
however, become sharper before Satut
dny. The Ad club is especially anxious
to furnish the largest number of work
ers because tho plan for Good Honda
Day was originated in the club.
H. S. Hewitt, chairman, of the gen
eral Good Koads Day conimittee; JV. H.
Veen, county roadmuster; J. Kred Im"
son, J; K. Wcrleln and others went
this morning to the point near latour

lone, their purpose being to mark out
the stretchea where the "gangs" of
various organizations will be put to
work. They will return to Portland
this evening.

Day For All Oregon," will be Issued

x It may "be read before t:ie Ad club
Dan Crawford, African missionary
and author of the sensational book,
"Thinking Black," addressed large
congregations at the White Temple,
Young Men's Christian Association
and First Congregational church Sun
day, aoliciting funds for his work.
"Take the map of Africa," he said;
"half it, and half It again, and in the
middle of the middle is my mission,
200 miles farther inland than Living
ston penetrated. I have prepared a
testament for my natives. I can teach
the word of God, but we must have
schools to carry on our task. Each
school costs $500. New York gaVe
me four, Philadelphia three and other
cities one. Can't Portland give me
one, too?" he pleaded. "My natives
would be Christians if they could; you
could help make them Christians if
you would. Why not get together on
this proposition T'
Crawford's addresses were curious
mixtures of wit, caustlclsm, religious
fervor and cynicism. "What do I see
In Portland. Oregon?" he exclaimed.
"Signs saying go to church Sunday?
Why, I thought Sunday was the day
vou were supposed to go to church.
lie condemned savagely the Ideal of
modern society that success is gauged
in terms n worldly goods, pleading al
most tearfully for help for his natives.
Crawford declared also that this was
his last trio to civilization. "I am dis
gusted with the snobbery, the selfish
ness of it all." he exclaimed, "and
am going back to finish my work
among the blacks, who never argue
whether there is a God. Tou will
never see me again. This meeting of
ours Is tragic. Help me, I ask you."

WU1 Be No "Utility
City" in Hood Valley
Voters Declare Decidedly Against Prop
osition to Create a Waw Municipality
for Purpose of Z suing' Bonds.
Hood River, Or., April 21. The prop
osition to create the new municipality
of "Utility City" out of a section of
the Hood Rivea valley was defeated
yesterday by a vote of 753 to 27. The
plan was launched with the Idea of
bonding the proposed municipality for
light and power service.
The landslide against the measure
was somewhat of a surprise to the
voters. The defeat of the proposition
is charged to the fact that the plan
to make a city out of an exclusive
farming district was considered some
what of a "freak" measure, which
would probably have meant serious
complications in financial and govern
mental aspects.
When a man has nothing to say he
is called upon to make a speech.
