NATIONAL INTEREST IN STATE.
Letters OF Inquiry About Oregon
Come from Many States.

Portland.-Interest in Oregon is
but, on the contrary, seems to in
crease with the advent of the vaca-
tlon season, says the Telegram Yes
terday's mail delivery at the Com
mercial club included letters Of in
quiry from every state in the union,
as well as from Canada, Mexico and
Honolulu, and it has taken the better
portion of the day for the clerical
force in the office to answer them
specifically.
The inquiries are mostly from peo-
pie of means, who desire to invest in
the northwest, and make their future
home here, If the conditions warrant.
There are farmers, tired Of the un-
certainty of climate where they are,
who have heard in a general way Of
te never-failing crops of oregon, and
there are business men who are
thinking of changing to country
holds out something more than a
mere living.
"A living / can make anywhere" is
the burden of the sentiment of these
latter, "but l desire to save up little
something to guard against the help
lessness of old age"
Each letter is answered in detail,
so that the inquirer can have a good
idea of what to expect when he Or
she gets here. In cases where labor
ing people or clerks desire to come.
with the hope of stepping into prof
liable employment, the answer is CIV
en- that the labor market here Is
good deal as It is elsewhere, and that
the party coming out without means
must take whatever he can get in the
shape Of work, until the newcomers
proficiency has been manifested.
But where the party is armed with
a little capital, coupled with a de-
sire to work, the way is pointed out,
by following which he can hardly go
astray. He is given to understand
that there is plenty of chance for
profitable investment on large or
small scale, with the chances all in
favor Of the investor.

Movement Is NonpoIitlcaI.

This is not a partisan movement
nor is It an differentiation move
ment," Judge Wadhams explains
"Of course the regulars of the ma
chine call us soreheads and kickers
but we can stand for that. We al
ready have in this organization men
of both big political parties and we
believe in responsible party govern
ment and in organization.
"But on the other hand we believe
in having primary laws which will
assure each citizen. of whatever par
ty, that he may vote at his party's
primaries with a certainty of having
his vote counted and without having
his Will discounted by machine ma
nipulation in the primaries, or by
manipulation of delegates after the
primaries. All we want is a chance
to select our officials without the
Intervention of middle men, who may
understand our desires, or may not
and who may or may not carry out
our directions"
Judge Wadhams explains that al
ready his association has subordinate
organization in the following coun-
ties, New York, Kings, Queens, Rich
mond (these being in Greater New
York; and in Westchester, Erie,
Oneida, Ontario. Cayuga, Onondaga
and Monroe. In the last named coun-
ty, there is an organization in each
of the three assembly districts.
The work of organization is pro-
crossing in the other counties, and be-
fore September 1t is expected that
each will have body of earnest di-
rect nomination workers. The active
work is in charge of an advisory
council" which in the course of time
will include men from every section
of the state, At present the bulk OF
the members are from Greater New
York.
1t cannot be denied that there are
some mighty good men in the ad-
visory council.

Pressure Used on Candidates.


The governor does not expect any
assistance from the legislative COM
mittee, but pins his hopes on the
work of the "State Direct Primary as
sociation" which was brought into
being In the closing days of the legls-
lative session. It's members then ad-
vocated the enactment of a direct
nomination law. having the general
features of the defeated Hinman-
Green bill. Since the lawmakers
went home the "S. d. p. A." has been
busy preparing for its Statewide
campaign"

judge of the city court. is president
of the association. Judge Wadhams
was named to fill vacancy on the
bench, due to death. He was nomi-
mated for a full term, but lost out
Judge Wadhams, in his new sphere
of activity believes the best thing
to do is to brn influence to bear
upon candidates for the legislature
who will be named this fall. He de-
clarcs That all the influence OF the
organization will be swung against
those candidates who refuse to pledge
themselves to support adirect nomi-
nations bill.
This will not be done by the asso-
citation as a state league, but by the
county organizations which are be-
ing formed as part Of the work of
the state organization. If any of these
county leagues desire to support an
candidate against a ma

will help that campaign as much as
possible.

Barrett represented Theodore Roose-

exposition on the nation will be felt
the next time Washington wants an

ASK CONGRESS TO BUY
TIMBER ON RAINIER ROAD

Tacoma, Aug 30.-The Chamber of
Commerce of Tacoma will ask con-
gress at it's next session to- buy for the
government the timber skirting the
road leading from this city to Mount
Rainier. Some of the heaviest tim
Der in the state is found along the
road, and Gen. Franklin J. Bell and
others who have visited the mountain
declare it would be in the nature of
vandalism for the forest growing close
to the road to be logged off. With the
government as owner of the timber it
would be preserved inviolate as part
of the scenic and park attraction of
the Mount Rainier regian. The Weyer-
haeuser timber syndicate owns the
most of the timber and is willing to
sell at reasonable price, The Wash
ington delegation will be asked to urge
an appropriation for the purpose upon
congress.
