Socialist Candidate for Secretary of
State Writes of Conference Lately
Held In Portland Propose to Build
an Ideal Socialist Home at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition.
The Dalles, Ore., Feb. 1. (Editor
East Oregoninn) Dear Sir: In com
pliance with your request, I give the
following report of our meeting nt
Portland;
Sunday, January 25, a conference
was held at Portland by a Joint as
sembly or socialists and union labor
leaders to unite on some form of an
exemplification of tho principles of
co-operation at the Lewis and Clark
exposition.
The conference was held at 24G
Washington street, beginning at 10
a. m. and continuing until 2:30 p. m..
wtih nn intermission of an hour for
lunch. It was unofficial In charactei",
those attending not having been for
mally accredited with power to act,
but the sentiments exprosscd, both
on the Lewis and Clark appropriation
and the subject under consideration,
are significant of the drift of thought
In Oregon.
It was not the purpose to come to
a definite understanding, but rather
to have ia free-for-all discussion and
evolve something tangible out of the
various leads put forth. Those In at
tendance were:
J. C. Cooper, of McMlnnville, of tho

the former thin, brittle hair.
The contlemen will also 4
find it an inestimable boon J

It was the judgment of the meet
ing that the Lewis nnd Clark fair bill
should take effect at the earliest pos
sible moment, to Insure successful
work In adjoining and Middle West
states which have been Invited to
make exhibits here In 1905. The mo
tion In regard to this omportant mat
ter was made by Hon. B. F. Ramp, or
Douglass county, and the full text of
it follows:
Cordially Indorse Appropriation
"The Lewis and Clark Centennial
Exposition being state. Interstate, na
tional and international in character.
and both branches of the legislature
of Oregon having, by practically a
unanimous vote, enacted a law appro'
priating $500,000 for said exposition,
we cordially Indorse said appropria
tion and are of the opinion that tho
Invoking the referendum on It would
be Inadvisable, though we favor the
principle of the referendum as applied
to legislation in this state."
Mr. Ramp, who Is one of tlyj lend
ers of the socialist party In the staUv
put himself on record as being gener
ally favorable to the referendum, but
lei it be clearly understool that If the
referendum Is ordered, he will be
found fighting for the fair bill and ad
vising his friends to do likewise.
The discussion of the question of
co-operation was participated in by
oil, and took a wide range, without
p.ny definite decision being arrived at.
One plan advanced was that a large
building should be erected, with din-
ing-hall, living apartments, laundry,
library, nurspry, mooting hall, etc.,
where it could be practically demon
strated that people could live cheap
er on the co-operative plan, perhaps
for $1 a day, than by the Individual
method of living. There was a trend
towards favoring state ownership and
maintenance -of tho building after the
fair is over.
Mr. Harnlsh, who pronounced him
self a nracresslve socialist, said the
'men who control the trusts, have, by
I their methods of organizing and con
I ducting their business, done more to
demonstrate the value of co-operation
! than any other agency the world has
ever known. They have oointoil out a
method of proceduie to the laboring
people, but the co-operation of the
laboring classes, he said, would be
designed to benefit the many instead
of the few. Along this line, Mr. Cad
well s-.id the members of the Car.
penters' union are planning to buy up
timber land, with the 'den oi having a
co-operative sawmill of their own to
manufacture every class of lumber
t handled by them in their work.
Mr. Jones said the project for a co
operative institution in connection
with the Lewis and Clark exposition
is a move In the right direction.
World's fairs, he declaied, exhibit the
products of a country, and demon
strata the capabilities of its people.
World's fairs held in the past in other
parts of the United States, have dem
enstrated what the co-operation of
capital can do. but none of them tad
given the thought to show what labor
can do by co-operation. In this re
ppect, he said, Portland Is already
ahead of all of them, and the Lewis
and Clark fair will show the wise men
in the East something they have
never though of.
"For what we have 'in view from
co-operation, and chiefly from its edu
cational features," said Mr. Jones,
"tile Lewis and Clark fair Is not a lo
cal question. It is of vital interest
to the entire country."
Variant Ideas Advanced.
Equally pertinent remarks were
made by Messrs. Cooper, Ryan. Har
ry, Barzee, Kundret, Harnlsh, Rainp
and Ca3to. All laid particular stress
upon the educational feature of .'ho
proposed co-operative institution, and
Its value aa a factor In teaching the
laboring classes to advance them
selves. Some leaned toward the co
operative hotel as the best means to
the end, while others put the educa
tional feature abovo the principle of
community living. Mr. Orton did not
favor the ro-operative hotel, and ad
vanced the Idea of co-cperative homes
on a tract-of land or in a colony. All
agreed that as a matter of right co
operation should be given a practical
demonstration as a feature of the ex
position. The suggestion centered around the
plan to build a co-operatovo hotel
within the limit of $50,000 to be taken
from the state appropriation, equipy.'
with tho modern appliances, with ma
.Vilnopv and sloam laundry In the
basement. A dining hall and suits "f
rooms wero to be for the operators on
the second floor, and a lecture hall,
ninii innmc nrirl llbrarv on the third
story with garret sleeping rooms for
transient accommodation, all to ue

impracticable, but tlcKets tor menis
i,o nrcnf-ml In advance nnd a ro
tation of participants thereby made
giving each a practical test of the
cost of co-operative living.
' Any and all suggestions from those
Interested In tho proposed plan will
be gladly received, either by tho

A COMMON ERROR.
Pendleton Favored by Having a Clr
culatlng Library Not Expensive to
Read All the Late Books.
In mmiV flflr.K nnd towns through
out tho country, clubs are formed by
book lovers for the purpose or secur
ing tho latest popular book to lead
and books oro passed fro mono mem-,
her to another, but In Pendleton such
clubs are not necessary as tho circu
lating library established by L. O.
Fralzer fills tho bill to a nicety and
answers all purposes. By tho sys
tem in vogue at i-Taziers ihkjk auivv,
book lovers have at their service all
II nren!! ooks as well as tho stand
ard works. There is no initiation fee
or red tape. If you desire to reau
any book, call, and by the payment of
a smull sum you can rent it to read,
and when finished, return It- Kra-
zlors circulating library nas uenn
popular since its inception uud has
proven Itselt a boon to bood readers
to secure all the new books at tho
present day, when they aro appear
irg so rapidly would exceedingly
expensive, and placo In tho homes
many books that the reader would not
have occasion to refer again. Fra
zier's circulating library Just fills the
bill.
Recovered Speech and Hearing.
Messrs Ely Bros: I commenced
using your Cream Balm about two
years ago for catarrh. My voice was
somewhat thick and my hearing was
dull. My hearing has been fully re
stored and ray speech has become
quite clear, I am a teacher In our
