BIG MEEK
OF EDITORS
AT PORTLAND
PORTLAND, Ore., May 14 (Special
to Daily Times).—Arrangements are
well under way for the entertainment
in Oregon next August of the National
Editorial Association. The editors are
to arrive in Portland August 8 and
will remain in the state until the fol
lowing Wednesday, their time being
completely taken up with business
sessions and entertainment features.
The Oregon Editorial Association
has the plans in hand and will hold its
annual convention jointly with the
National Editorial Association.
A general reception to the delegates
will be held on the evening of their
arrival. Saturday, August 9, will be
occupied chiefly by business sessions,
with an automobile ride to Oregon
City, where a monument will be dedi
cated to commemorate the founding
of the first newspapers on the Pacific
coast. There will be a banquet Satur
day night.
Sunday morning the editors will be
taken out over the beautiful Columbia
river highway. A stop for luncheon
will be made at some scenic spot and
the visitors will be treated to a bear
and deer barbecue. The highway trip
and barbecue is expected to be one of
the chief features of their stay in the
West.
The party will leave on Sunday eve
ning for Medford, Ore., with a side
trip to Crater Lake National park. It
is expected that Oregon towns
through which the editors pass will
prepare special stunts for their enter
tainment. On Wednesday the editors
will again pass through Portland on
their way to Seattle and Vancouver,
B. C., where additional sessions are
to be held.
The ladies of the party will not be
overlooked in the plans. A special
committee is looking out for their en
tertainment. Separate sessions of the
Oregon Editorial Association will be
held on Friday and Saturday. Alto
gether it will be a big time for West
ern newspapers men and they hope to
make the visitors from other sections
feel that their trip to the Pacific coast
has been well worth while. Incidental
ly, it is announced that the outlook
for a large attendance is very prom
Eastern and middle Western mem
bers of the association will come to
the coast by special train leaving
from Winnipeg, Canada. The trip will
cover nearly 30 days’ time and will in
clude a distance of about 8,000 miles
covered by sea and rail.
From 12 to 14 days will be spent in
the Canadian Rockies and from seven
to twelve days on the Pacific coast.
Every point of interst is covered in
the itinerary.
Alaska is one-fifth the size of the
whole United States and its prodi
gious area of about 600,000 square
miles, nearly three times the size of
the German empire, spreads from the
temperate zone to the Arctic circle.
Not one quarter of it is in the latter.
Below the circle lies a magnificent
belt of fertile soil. It is estimated by
government authorities that the vast
plain on which many cattle can be
wintered without feeding aggregate
30,000 square miles, with a climate
like that of Northern Europe—Nor
way, Finland and Sweden. This land
is richer and more productive than
that of any other country in the
world, well watered, fairly well tim
bered and 160 acres are open free to
the settler if he wishes to take up a
homestead.

WANT NAME MT. RAINIER
CHANGED TO ROOSEVELT
SEATTLE, May 14 (by Associated
Press).—Puget Sound’s old discussion
as to whether “The Mountain” should
be called Mount Rainier or Mount Ta
coma has been reopened by news
paper suggestions that both sides to
the argument drop their claims and
compromise upon Mount Roosevelt.
Tacoma long has held that the big
peak’s name is Mount Tacoma, Seat
tle, on the other hand, has called It
Mount Rainier and as one argument
in its favor, has pointed to govern
ment maps bearing the name Rainier.
A Portland newspaper, in what it
termed “a helpful and charitable
spirit” recntly suggested that the
name be changed to Mount Roosevelt.
One Seattle paper seconded the idea
spirit” recently suggested that the
scheme be carried farther by naming
Puget Sound Oyster Bay and "The
Mountain” Sagamore Hill.
Tacoma, speaking editorially, re
fuses to accept any of the sugges
tions stating that Theodore Roosevelt
himself supported Tacoma’s claim to
the name.
“By the way, how do you go about
it to change the name of a mountain”
one editorial asked. The question has
not been answered.
SUFFRAGE IS DEFEATED
BY CABAL OF POLITICIANS
HONOLULU, May 14 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Proponents of woman
suffrage have lost their fight at the
present session of the territorial leg
islature, now drawing to a close, and
the issue is dead in Hawai until the
1921 session unless congress should
act in the interim. Woman suffrage
planks were in the platforms of both
parties in Hawaii when the last elec
tions were held.
A bill to grant woman suffrage by
direct action of the legislature was
introduced into the Hawaiian senate
and passed, but was defeated by a
narrow margin in the house. A bill
then was introduced providing for a
plebiscite on suffrage but it has been
tabled.
J. Kuhio Kalanianaole, delegate to
congress from Hawaii, has signified
his willingness to present a petition
to congress at its next session, asking
for equal suffrage in the territory, and
women who directed the fight in the
legislature now have this plan under
consideration. They openly charge
that the defeat of suffrage in the leg- -
islature was due to the efforts of a "
cabal of Honolulu politicians who
feared the political activity of women.
TERRITORIAL FAIR TO
BE HELD AT HONOLULU
HONOLULU, May 14 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Hawaii’s second ter
ritorial fair will open June 9 continu

the Honolulu Lodge of Elks.
Horse racing will be made a fea

than $5,000. A number of horses will

Captain. Cummings, commander of
the post at St. Michael recently made
the trip to Nome by dog team. He
was out in the coldest weather of
the winter and suffered quite a few
frost bites.

timer died at the Methodist orphan
age after an extended illness. He was

mission work at Nome for the Lavina
Wallace mission.
