For I'liltcd Oregon.
That Is thu slogan or the Knights
of Progress who slide out of Portland
on their missions of mercy, and to
relieve the rest of the commonwealth
of Its shining dollars on the theory
that no man or community Is any
good In the world until It Is separ
ated from too strict adherence to Its
glittering coin. Their excursions mean
nn expenditure of about six thousand
slmoleons each go to the cow coun
ties. Kuch for All, Klc.
One for each and each for all and
for all you can reach seems to be
the motto of the Portland hunch, and
It is winning results for the metrop
olis of Oregon. What wuld Oregon
be without this live bunch and the
lire they throw Into the situation?
Kven the undertakers nt Portland
push for business on these boosting
excursions, and have secret service
. men posting them as to possible fu
nerals In the near future In the towns
they visit.
Klamath. Falls Train.
The Southern Pacific personally
conducted special was the most per
fectly appointed train that ever ran
through the state. The Pullmans were
connected up with telephones, so that
nt every stop the pilgrim could com
municate with his family at home or
call up some Friend to make a date
at the next town. The dining car
service was as fine as could be had
for money, and at various places addi
tions not on the bill of fare gave
agrecuble surprises. At one place a
crato of caiitoloupi'g rolled aboard.
At another town a crate of straw
berries as big as young chickens came
Into the car. Telegrams, newspapers,
flowers and gifts or local production
were shoved Into the train all along
the line. The train was personally
conducted by Win. McMurray, general
passenger agent, and W. II. Jenkins,
traveling passenger agent. Klegant
badges nnd ' personally named and
printed itinerary booklets were given
each member or the party.

If the two rival catnps will just

will be the making of Klamath Falls.
1 he Johnson-Wendling-Worden crowd

the Klamath llevelopment Co. have
put Klamath Falls on the map. They
captured part of the Portland crowd,
dined them at the country club, gave
them a launch ride on the I'pper lake
and S. O. Johnson went back to Port
land with them.
Former Siilcmltex.
A number of the Portland bunch
Were former Salem boys. There was
S. W. Hermann of the llolman Trans
fer Co.. a nephew of the late Kd
Hlrsch, and Harry Meier. wit, Mason
Uirinan & Co. Hoth recall being
boys at the Capital City, and remem
ber all the old timers. Otto Hrevman
of the llreyman U-ather Co. Is a
nephew of the llreyman brothers of
Salem. At Grants Pass I met K. K
Horapaugli. who knew mv brother
Frank In North Dakota In tlie eighties
At Klamath Falls 1 met John l.oomls
of Newport who lias a ranch there.
Owns Several nouses.
F. M. Seller of M. Seller Co., the
only direct importers of fine china
ware in Portland, proved an agreeable
traveling companion. Ills rather start
ed the business in 1 $."!), and was one
or the first merchants of Corvallls
About this time Portland began to
outgrow Marysvllle. as the town up
the river was originally called, and
Mr Seller, Sr., had the fotvsight to
move down the river. They have large
stores at Seattle, Spokane and Port
land, and may some day establish a
branch at Salem.
( humphm Orator.
Geo. M. Ilyland was presented with!
a beautiful stein for his readiness In
making off-band speeches as chair
man nf the Pnrtlnnrl rlplr.frntlnn Ma
has the happy faculty of saying the
ngm nice tiling ana saying It with a
bank. Nothing but his characterizing
Eugene as '"the smile of Oregon,"
at the University banquet, would have
made everybody reel as good as they
did reel arter It was said. The talent
tor doing what he did and doing It
so many times is a rare one, but Hy
land has it.
We (aught the Train.
Geo. T. Iwrence, Jr., whose senior
established a saddlery and harness
business at First and Oak streest,
within a block of where an uncle of
the three Ijiwrenre hrnthera nnonarl

Bllf Paper Houses.
L. A. Colton has been with the Pa
cific Paper Co. at Portland for 19
years. They started at Front and
Alder with 10,000 square feet floor
space and now use 125,000 square feet.
ThlB shows about tha way all whole
sale business baa expanded at Port
land. Another Portland paper house,
Blake-McFall Co., represented by A.
IS. Galloway, has been running 17
years. It started on Front and Stark
in a space about 40 by 100 feet, and
now has a six-floor building, 100 by
100 feet, at Fourth and Ankeny
streets. Mr. Galloway is a native of
Montana and a nephew of Judge Gal
loway of this city. .
(ot Into Music.
F. W. Graves of the Graves Music
Co. went into the music business in
1803. He had one girl stenographer
at $3 a week, in a room 18 by 45. He
has today tortv neonle on tho
one a woman at $125 a month, and
carries a stocK of $100,000, with a
branch store at Snoknno. nn.i nnnn.i
sales of $400,000. This represents a
little of the magical power of person
ality. Mr. Graves was a money-lender
uy piwssion. a Dau loan got him
Into the music business when he did
not know one musical
other, as all his experience had been
wiin unity and sixty-day notes with
the jingle of coin as the only accompaniment.
Whs Editor-in-Chief.
Lloyd W. McDowell, publicity agent
of the Ruth Trust Co., was editor-in-chief
and he had some able assist
ants. At Grants Pass E. L. Churchill took
us to see the wonderful sipht nf tho
trip a hundred thousand salmon
weighing from ten to forty pounds,
In the wier built by the government
hatchery. The river for 1000 feet by
400 feet wide was one mass of live,
leaping royal Chinook.
Pianos and Perk.
The Kllers piano house was repre
sented by A. H. Kllers, brother or Hi
Kllers, who has conducted
business at Portland for thirteen
years. He had not enough monev to
pay freight on cnrlnnda nf niinnc
when he started. He could buy pianos
uu reuu, nut freight was always cash
on the Southern Pacific. He has made
money enouirh to cot Intn n hnti.iino-
built for him especially on one or
me nnesi corners in the city. Hi
Idlers has traveled In Europe and has
a taste for the better thlnirs In
and has heard most of the great per-
lorioers anu singers. He is almost
big enough a man to become United
States senator.
J. L. Sterrett rpurespnted Snlmirio.
child and Sulzberger, one of the big
four meat concerns of the United
ptates, and bis house supplied the
.steaks fnr the speckl train dininc
car. He is himself n li vinir rpi.rtic.in
tative of the good food products sup
plied by his house.
. A. Kroschel represented the
Welnhard llrewerv. nml fnr thr....
years has been manager or the firm's
outside business in tho Northwest.
A. P. pjitz represented the Portland
Ilrewlng company on the trip.
H. A. KiUnn has for te n veara roi.
resented the agricultural Implement
department of the Marshall-Wells
Hardware Co., a firm that started in
business in an old stuhlo nt tho on-t
end of the Morrison bridge some years
ago, anu now occupies several blocks
or buildings. Their fi.Hir space Is
measured by the acre and their sales
extend- over half the United States.
F. A. Freeman, cashier of the Lum
berman's National bank, was one of
the live men of the excursion. He
was cashier for the Asiatic sten
COIUnanv mill ImnilloH tholr hol...,
at Hongkong and Shanghai until it
i (ii 01 ousiness. He can come
as near cornerinsr a lnree shnro nf tho
banking business of a city as any man
iu me game.
The Merchants National was renro-
sented by W. P. Jones, who had ran.
siderable experience in the east as a
bank examiner, and that makes him I
a valuable man now for any banking
house to have around.
Edward Murphy, Jr., was the car
toonist on the Daily Killer, a news
paper published on the train every
day several limes. There were reg
ular morning and evening editions
and specials tor every city where the
train stopped. In every issue there
was appropriate character sketches
rrom the Murphy scratch-pads, and
considering that he had to do his
sketching on a train running at fifty
miles an hour, he did great work.
Wholesale Grocers.
Samuel C. Kerr represented the
Wadhams & Kerr Bros, wholesale
grocery. The business was started In
18S5 by Wadhams, and Mr. Kerr has
been with the firm from the begin
ning. They now employ about seventy-five
men and do a business
reaching into the millions. There are
four other wholesale grocery houses
at Portland: Wadhams & Co., Allen
& Lewis, Mason, Khrman & Co., and
Lang & Co. The latter have estab
lished a branch jobbing business at
Salem, and the time is not far distant
when they will all have to consider
doing the same thing at Salem and
possibly at Klamath Falls.
N. C. Olsen was on the excursion
for the Warren Construction com
pany. The bitulithic pavement Is used
on all the streets ot the cities we
visited. In some towns cheaper pave
ment Is used, but the finest streets
are all put down with the bitulithic
from Portland to Klamath Falls.
. Ilnosleil Exposition..
One of the live men of the party
was Julius Meier of the Meier &
Frank company, Portland's greatest
department store. He Is chairman of
the San Francisco Panama Canal ex
position that is to be pulled off in
11)15, and in every city he boosted tor
the enterprise. He has some great
plans In mind Tor Oregon at the ex
position, and it allowed to work them
out will prove to be the right man
in the right place as- head commis
sioners. He expects soon to call his
commission together and rormulate
plans or procedure that Oregon may
be creditably represented.
Additional Personalities.
C. C. Chapman was the man on the
box. He did everything to make the
excursion a success from tooting
the horn, banging the cymbals, hot
airing the ladles when by chance the
orators overlooked them, improvising
a street program at any town where
things dragged the least bit, getting
out and circulating the Dally Killer,
patting the babies under the chin,
bragging on the big pumpkins, swal
lowing vast quantities of refreshments
wherever they were offered, getting
out stories for the press there Was
no end of Chapman's activities, and
on such an excursion he is indispen
sible. He had able lieutenants in B.
H. Wickersham of the cracker trust,
and J. Fred Larson, the inimitable
Swedish Impersonator. Where Larson
picked up his genius for Imitating that
nationality so perfectly is a mystery.
He does not look It and is frequently
taken for a son of the Emerald isle
by strangers.
The Boss of the Road.
B. E. Neustadter, of the big manu
facturing firm of Neustadter Bros.,
who make the Boss of the Road over
alls, was one of the jolly traveling
companions, and proved one of the
'most gallant men of the whole excur
sion. From Eugene to Salem Mrs.
F. H. Rothschild joined the party, and
at the last dinner, Mr. Neustadter saw
that she was presented with a bouquet
ot beautiful roses.
The Biographer.
The official biographer regrets that
he cannot print a sketch of each indi
vidual member of the conquering band
who have done so much to put Ore
gon on the commercial map and keep
it there. The only reason why Port
land Is holding her trade and surpass
