To aid in promoting an Irrigation
program that 'will be in the Interest of
Oregon and the west in general, former
Governor Oswald West has accepted
ah invitation from Governor Ernest
Lister of Washington to . attend ' the
session of the. Western Governors' con
ference, which will be held in Seattle
May 18 to 20. Governor Lister is sec
retary of the conference, j At the last
meeting ex-governors of the western
states were made members.:
"I certainly hope that you can meet
In Seattle with- the conference," wrote
Governor Lister. "There are so many
matters of vital importance to all of
the western states that.without doubt,
will be taken up for corrslderation, and
your knowledge of jthese i matters is
such that I am !l! sure your' presence
would be of great benefit to the con
ference." . . . - ;
"It is my intention to attend the
conference and for the purpose of ad
vancing an irrigation program in the
interest of Oregon and the west, " said
ex-Governor West today.
"The Irrigation field offers a wide
field for endeavor on the part of those
who would aid in the development of
our resources and the upbuilding of
our industries and state. .We are not
only facing the problem of meeting
demands for . the construction of new
and larger irrigation projects, but we
are facing the problem of rescuing a
number of projects now on the rocks
of financial embarrassment and of
placing them on a sound footing.
TThese are all problems which deep
ly concern the people of this state and
the l Western Governors conference of
fers a splendid opportunity for bring
ing our" needs to publio attention and
securing the cooperation of the several
western states in the promotion of a
program which will be productive of
results." T

I Milwaukee Water Sjstem.
Portland, .April 29. To the Editor of
The Journal-! A recent news item from
Mllwaukie announces that a committee
of citizens there has organized for, the
purp&se of defeating a proposition to
have theT council purchase the two
water , systems already in; operation,
although the purchase price is to be
determined by arbitration or condem
nation. I have no vote in this matter,
buj I have an indirectointerest in the
outcome; It is a matter that affects
a considerable number of other people
who are not . permitted to 'pass upon It.
They ask " Space in your columns to
show I the injustice of a step ' that
means the practical confiscation of
private property, a step that should
not be taken until carefully consid
ered from every standpoint.: The par
ties who Invested their money In the
two water systems involved did so
relying- upon the good faith of the
people of Mllwaukie. The systems
were sorely needed at the! time, and
the advantages they offered were
gratefully accepted. They have
brought no profit to the ;people who
put money into them. Th whole ben
efit, has inured to the general commu
nity. - A new system is to be estab
lished by the city of Milwaukie, and it
is! now proposed that the .old plants
shall be wiped out without! compensa
tion after the builders had been "en
couraged to put their money Into them.
Both plants-have a certain value that
cain be utilized by the community.
Common fairness would seem to de
mand that they be not wantonly de
stroyed by the action of the commu
nity they have so long served. It is
certain that if the committee" that is
now trying to prevent the purchase
of, the old" plants at a. reasonable price
had shown the enterprise eff the own
ers by investing in the venture years
ago, they would now look at the mat
ter in an entirely different) light. No
one can censure them for wishing to
secure Bull Run water, but the prac
tical confiscation of the existing plant
is! an entirely different proposition.
The purchase price1 is to j be settled
by disinterested Clackamas county cit
izens either by arbitration or condem
nation. It Is an absolutely fair way
of settling the question, i It .: makes
extortion impossible, and it gives to
the present owners a part at least of
what . is their due. It is consistent
with every consideration of real econ
omy, justice and fair play.

' Portland, April 28. To the Editor
of The Journal It being proposed to

the need of giving an incentive for the
"best in art and music" to! our ' youth.

WHO'S WHO IN
Fat and Good .Natu red, City
Treasurer Asserts It' Was :
r - Not Always So,
: By Claude Af . Bristol
Everyone loves a fat man.
It's an old saying,- and . it may be
well applied to William Adams, city
7 ' 4
William F. ( Adams,
treasurer, for ' everyone ; who;
knows
him likes him.- But "Billie"
or Just
Plain "Bill," as he is called by those
whb know him well, says that he 1s
not! fat but only a trifle plump. "V
' Adams is only five feet seven and
a half inches ' tali and weighs 235
pounds, and still he calls himself
plump. But he has not always been
fat tor plump as he is today. He wasn't
fat when a boy. Instead he was sick
ly and more or less thin. The fat did
not commence to hang: on. until he
was 28 years old, but since that time
It has grown steadily. . Here's the
story: .' '
"Bill" was born October 18, 1874,
in the little town of Tenby, Wales.
His; father was a butcher and "Bill"
was the third boy in the family. When
he became old enough , he went to
school and ran errands for bis father.
In those days the favorite game of
the : children at school was the paper
chase. Bill was small and lithe then
and was one of the best runners of
the school. Many a race he ran and
won before he was taken ill. His
throat began to bother him and It
was not long beforehe developed bron
chial trouble. '
When he was 13 years old the trou
ble . became serious and the doctors
advised that .the boy be given a
change of climate. They urged that
he bo taken to the Pacific coast of
the i United States. . He had to , quit
school , and leaye for America.
At that time there were relatives
of the family living in a Portland and
to them the boy was sent. None of
his j family . could go with-'him, so he
was; sent on alone. Across the ocean
he was looked after by Richard Par
cell,; who is now a resident of Port
land, .but when he started across the
United States and reached ' Chicago,
he was alone.
I Arrives In Portland in . 1888.
The trip was not a difficult one
for the body, for those traveling on the
same trains made it a poftit to look
after him. After being on the road
several weeks he landed here safely
April 14. 1888.
The boy knew how to run errands
so he immediately sought work as an
errand boy. The first jol he landed
was with the old Pacific States Tele
phone company, then at Second and
Ankeny streets. After a few months
of such work it did not look promis
ing; and he sought something more
lucrative.
Aj brokerage firm needed a boy to
runs errands and "Bill" went to work
for the companygettlng the magnifi
cent salary of I a week. Being out
of doors most of tho time did much
to remedy his throat troubles and it
was not long -before he was entirely
well. - '
But Bill ' finally got tired of walk
ing! all the time and began to hunt
for a job -where he 'could ride once
in a while. F. C. Barnes was run
ning alfish store at Third and Mor
rison streets then and to him the
boyi applied for work. He got it driv
ing! a wagon and his salary was $25

City Treasurer,
a month. Delivering fish! day after
day got monotonous after a time and
t'Bill" went Into the candy business.
; As far as he got' in the business,
however, was to become a candy, stir
rer. Day after' day he stood over a
boiling kettle with a paddle stirring
syrup, sugar and other Ingredients
used in the manufacture of candy.
The Inside work 'began to tell on
him and, fearing that. his old trouble
would return, he started search for
another Job. J !
! The Western Union1 Telegraph com
pany needed messenger boys at that
time and "Bill" went to work for
this company in 1892. In those days
the boys were not allowed carfare as
they are today, and as result most of
the delivering had to be done on foot.
Think of getting a call from the
vicinity of the present baseball
grounds, delivering aJ message, thence
to a point far out on the east. aide.
He had to walk all of the time, too.
Is it any wonder that he did not get
fat? He didn't get ! the chance to put
on fat for the messages' were numer
ous those days and ; the work kept
"Bill" on the jump.: i
. After work "Bill" used to go into
the operating room and watch the
telegraphers at work. Their work
seemed easier to him than running his
legs off delivering messages, so "Bill"
decided that- he would become an op
erator; ,
His friends helped him, and It was
not long before he j had .mastered the
Morse code and became, an expert at
the key and sounder. "Bill," of
course, had been used to ' lots of ex
ercisethat is, the kind a person gets
who walks a great deal and when this
exercise ceased the body Jiad a chance
to" broaden. Then he started to grow
not up, but sideways.
' Long were the hours 'he sat . at the
key and- the weight began to come
pound by pound. Slowly but surely
from an emaciated, sickly f appearing
young fellow, he 'developed into a
stocky, deep-lunged man. The fat
kept coming, and after several years
"Bill" began to worry, He was glad
that he was healthy, but he was afraid
that he was getting too plump for
convenience. , 'i
' Along about this time he quit tele
graphing and' started in the audit
ing, department. The work here was
a ; little more confining so Adams
looked around for I something in 'the
way of exercise. He joined an ath
letic club and began to exercise dally.
The work was interesting and it was
not long before he became a full
fledged athlete. He even went so far
as to get up early Sunday morning
and play baseball.
From the auditing department he
went to the cashier's cage?. The work
was a little easier and despite the ex
ercise the fat kept coming. He" was
get tin n f more valuable day by day
and finally there ; came an opening
for him and he was promoted to as
sistant manager of the local company.
1 For three years he held this position

and then' resigned to go Into the real
estate game.
Here's where he found himself in
the. spring of 1911. Adams Jiad never
been much of a politician but he got
the fever when the campaign started to
elect city officials. He tossed his
hat in the ring and stood on it so
it was Impossible for anyone to kick
It out.
. There were a number of candidates
for the position of city treasurer but
"Bill" managed to land the job. lie
held, on to it until the campaign of
1913 started. The endorsement of the
Republican. Democratic, Progressive
and- other: parties were secured and
"Bill" gotusy. He was elected by
the largest: vote ever before given a
single "candidate in a vity Election.
Little good it did Jiim, however, for
the people - adop'ted" the commission
form of government at the same time
and 'that provided that the position
of city treasurer should be appointive
Instead of elective, , ,
Not to be deterred on that account
Adams started a fight to land the
job.j ' He was finally selected from a
list of a number of applicants and
appointed to the position under Com
missioner Bigelow. He has held the
job ever since.
When Adams first took office in
1911 the work of the treasurer jumped
steadily. Large Improvements ' had
been undertaken in 1910 and, 1911
and the figures in the Hen docket, of
course, jumped correspondingly. There
were only 21 dockets when he took of
flee and now there are 67. This may
mean little at first reading but the
dockets represent hundreds v of Im
provements added to the list and bun
dreds of collections. ,
The work was too much for:Jthe em
ployes and Adams set1 aboutf to find
a way to- save time and employes.
After investigation a special type of
adding machine was constructed to
handle the Hen accounts, and work that
had- been formerly done by I several
employes was thereafter done! by ma
chine and one employe. The machine
has now been adopted by a, large
number of the banking firms, j
The dock commission needed a
treasurer ahd It was decided1 to put
the coin In Adams hands. Then the
water bureau, which had been col
lecting water - revenues, changed its
system and Adams was placed in
charge of the cashiers. I j
, Although-Adams says he is not an
actor and never could , be one; he has
a few characteristics which make him
look similar to a fat man, in the
movies. When he talks he has a pe
culiar way . of nodding his ;head, and
very Seldom does he use' words of
more than one or two . syllables. It's
just a habit, however. Bat when he
smiles it is a real smile df the beam
ing variety. This smllei'arid his good
nature are always noticeable,
Adams incidentally is some VJ,nr'"
