Monopolists Propose Deal to
Get Chance to Oppose
Ferris Bill in Speech.
Portland baa a publicity opportunity
never before given a city of this cots
try.
But the water power Interests tried
to grab this opportunity for them
elves. ,
The United State Chamber of Com-::
meree has wired an invitation te ex
hibit the natural color pictures fit the
Colombia river highway before the na- -tional
convention of the organization .
in Washington, X. C, the evening of
February 8. President Wilson's cabi
net offloers and members of congress -are
expected to see the views.
The telegram, received this morning
by the Portland Chamber of Commerce,
Is an evldenoe of triumph.
Zt showed this city could get a bear
ing before a gieat national organisa
tion representing all the prominent
commercial bodies of the country, with
out conceding half the opportunity to
the water power monopoly in order t
secure the privilege.
Power Men Set Busy.
Briefly stated the water power ta
tercets tried to steal more thn half the
evening for a speech promoting their
fls-ht aralnst tha Perrla water bill now
pending before congress, as the prlife of
using their influence to get for fort
land the opportunity to show the won
der pictures of the great highway la
the Gorge of the Columbia. ,
It came about somewhat in this
wise: -
When Richard A Filene of ltoetou.
vice president of the National Chairjber
of Commerce, was recently In'jPort-
land, he saw the highway And l saw
the natural color pictures of iVieWe
along the highway... .
He was
tutlRUaiesUc .
PORTLANDWINS
He said that by all means thes:mat
nlflcent views should Ik; hoi rn at
Washington. 1
He added that he would try la have
the pictures Included on the program
and that he would telegraph the re- -suit
of his effort.
The big opportunity, of course, fired :
local Interest. The Chamber of Com- -meree
wires kept hot In endeavor to
confirm the Invitation. -
Some of the local representatives
of would-be power monopoly also be
came interested.
Suggestion Is Mad. ,
Presently came a message from a
Wall street group by way of Seattle
and signed by the name of the Seattle -power
factor. It spoke with king ap
proval of the project to show the'pie
tures. It continued with suggestion V.
that this influence would be seed to
get the privilege if at least as,-hoar
and a half of the evening should se
granted the representative of - these
same waterpower interests to praseat
toe waterpower situation.
The suggestion analysed seemeK cH( '
blooded. :
'The nerve ut It," exclaimed ofte.of
the men who saw the message, -
No one here was willing to grant
away to the polite water power monop- '
olists Portlands opportunity. -Only .
Portland influence wa further used la
effort to confirm the invitation, r That -J,
is why the telegram of confirmation,
this morning was the sign of triumph,'.
The delegation from the Portland
Chamber of Commerce will arrange a "
smoker and a buffet luncheon in com- '
nection with the showing of the $$(-
tures. A meeting was held at- noon -today.
Henry Berger Jr.. and Franc
I. Jones will probably go back with
their pictures and then continue -on-tour
of eastern cities. Samuel C. Lan- "
caster, engineer of the Columbia, river j
highway, and Frank Branch Riley, ,
well known for oratorical ability, have :
been spoken of as the men to mike the -verbal
presentation In Washington.
