"Was only to show you that "McPherson" and "heating" always go together
to Impress upon your mind that in the heating line, "we are the people," is why
we advertise. We want you to know, also, that while we are not the cheapest, we
are the best- But we won't try to demonstrate this in the newspapers. Come and
see us, and we'll then try and demonstrate it, or, at least, "talk it over."

Of bdwnrd Bellamy's prophecy, printed yesterday,
we give here the opinion of
3IASSEKET, The Great. French Composer.
To give to a musical work an elaborate and exact interpretation; to make clear the
composer's most Intimate thoughts; to bring Into play a wealth of execution which
only the orchestra can .give In a word, to translate all the shades of coloring in

It was-made very evident at last night's
meeting of the canvassing committees
for the Lewis and Clark celebration that
Portland Is a unit in the matter. Every
committee was heard from, nearly every
one was organized and fully prepared to
begin the canvass Monday, and there was
enthusiasm and determination to succeed.
At the end of the meeting adjournment
was taken till next "Wednesday night at
the same place, the Oregon Mining Ex
change Auditorium on the second floor
of the Chamber of Commerce building,
when it is expected subscriptions com
pleting the full 5300,000 capital stock for
the Exposition will be reported In good
time for Thanksgiving.
On motion of H. Scott, P. L. Willis
was made chairman of the meeting in
the absence of Mr. Corbett, The secre
tary called the roll of committees that
have been announced, and there was re
sponse from each committee, saying to
what extent organization had been car
,rled and In a few cases announcing- fur
ther Appointments of canvassers. J.
P. Marshall, of the committee on hotels
and restaurants, had been called out of
town and Thomas Condon was substi
tuted, fan suggestion of Chairman Fried.
Chairman Rumelin, of the committee on
breweries and liquor dealers, announced
the addition of Sol Blumauer, D. J.
Moore, C. W. Pallett, R. J. Ashey, D.
S. Stearns and John D. Mann to his com
mittee. Chairman Beach, of the com
mittee on retail grocers, said there were
21 members on his committee and the
work bad been so thoroughly organized
that it was expected the canvass would
be completed In one day. In the absence
of Chairman Dodd, of the committee on
physicians and dentists, from the city,
uJames Steel was made chairman and Dr.
John Welch and Dr. Harry McKay were
added to the committee, G. W. Simons
was added to the committee on dealers
in furniture, hardware, and drugs, on
suggestion of Chairman Haseltlne. Mr.
Willis, of the committee on lawyers, an
nounced that eight sub-committees had
been appointed, as follows:
J. E. Bronaugh. J. F. Booth and W.
I.. Brewster; C. A. Cogswell, W. A. Cle

stein and R. Sewell.
Chairman H. W. Scott, of the commit
tee on transportation companies, and
Chairman J. W. Cruthers, of the com
mittee on miscellaneous corporations. In
reporting readiness to proceed with the
canvass made incidental reference to the
fact that a number of the corporations
that were expected to subscribe liberally
tb the Exposition" stock were controlled
in New York or other distant cities, and
it would necessarily take a little extra
time to get their subscriptions. On mo
tion of Mr. Cruthers, Chairman Corbett
and Secretary Reed were directed to pre
pare a letter to send to the non-resident
miscellaneous corporations setting forth
the purposes and scope of the proposed
celebration and asking for a subscription.
J. Frank Watson, chairman of the com
mittee on mines and miners, reported that
there were few mine-owners In Portland
not Included In some other trade or bus
iness, and on his motion Chairman Cor
bett and Secretary Reed were instructed
to prepare a letter to be sent to all the
mine-owners of the state.
East Side Well Organized.
Chairman A. T. Lewis, of the East
Side Improvement Association, reported
that his territory had been divided Into
10 districts with five or more solicitors in
each, and that they expected to be able
to report $50,000 by Tuesday night. There
were reports also that the Sub-Boards of
Trade of Sellwood, Woodstock, Clinton
Kelly, Brooklyn, Stephens, Montavllla,
Alblna and University Park xwere well
organized for the canvass in their re
spective districts. Some of these were
In session last night, and some will make
final arrangements tonight.

businesses that had not been specifically
provided for on the canvassing commit
tees, and Chairman Willis, Secretary
Reed and Mr. Mclsaac were named to ap
point committees for all classifications not
covered by the committees now In the
field.
Instructions to Canvassers.
The subscription blanks were distribut
ed, and O. F. Paxton called attention to
some of the things to be observed In tak
ing the subscriptions. He said that all
subscriptions should be written in ink,
and the street address of each signer
should accompany the name. It should
be clearly explained to each subscriber
that the money to be raised would be ex
pended by a board of directors selected
by the stockholders themselves, and It
should also be explained that the money
would not all be called for at once, but In
Installments of not more than 25 per cent
each, and at Intervals of not less than
Dlx months each after the first call. These
calls would be by the' board of directors
of the corporation after it should be or
ganized. It was also deemed wise to ex
plain that, while the executive commit
tee had declared Itself in favor of this
division of the payments of subscriptions,
'it had not been made a part of the sub
scription heading because It might put in
doubt the legality of the subscriptions thus
conditionally pledged.
Adolphe Wolfe deemed It very import
ant that these explanations be made and
suggested that they be published so that
everybody should be made familiar with
them, and they will thus appear over the
signature of the chairman. A motion was
also adopted expressing formally the
sense of the meeUng that no real estate
should be bought" with money raised from
these subscriptions. This had previously
been clearly understood, but it was
deemed best to have this action appear in
the record of the meeting. Another mo
tion was also passed declaring against
larger assessments than 25 per cent at in
tervals of not less than six months.
Will Be In Safe. Hands.
Mr. Boise called attention to the fact
that the affairs of this corporation, would
be administered by the very best business
men, men of the highest standing In the
city, who could safely be trusted to do
the best that could be done. It would be
at least 30 days after the subscriptions
should be completed before the corpora
tion could be legally organized, and af
ter that the directors would call for money
as It might be actually needed, prob
ably In assessments of 10 per cent. There
would be no Incentive to have a large
sum of money on hand, and the officials
of the Exposition, who would probably- be
large subscribers, would have every reaJ
son to make the collection of tho sub
scriptions as easy as possible.
Traveling Men Indorsed.
D. M. Dunne offered the following reso
lution, with the statement that the travel
ing men. of Washington and Oregon had
spent more than 55000 of their own money
to get the National Convention of the

EX-REPRESENTATIVE T. J. GEARY
Frye Gives Notice That He Will
Press It at the Coming Session.
BOSTON, Nov. 22. The chief guest at
a banquet given by the Commercial Club
at the New Algoquln Club tonight was
Senator William P Frye. of Maine. His
address was upon "National Legislation
Concerning Steamship Subsidies and New
England's Interest In the Country's In
Creasing Foreign Commerce." He said
in part:
"Our country Is great, prosperous and
powerful. For a few years It has move'd
forward with the strides of a young
giant and today ranks with the foremost
nations of the world. This result has
been attained under the policy of pro
tection. Nearly every Industry has been
protected and has prospered. One alone
has been handicapped by adverse legis
lation at home and protection of its com
petitors abroad, namely, our ships en
gaged In the foreign trade. The theoret
ical free-trader ascribes 'this condition to
our policy of protection. It Is not pro
tection which has harmed, but the entire
lack of It, the compelling of uur ships to
compete with those of other maritime
nations protected by subsidies, by much
lower wages in ship-yards and on ships
and by a less expensive manner of living.
"There are some Americans utterly de
void of sentiment or of patriotic im
pulse, who can travel the world over and
wlfthout regret never see the Stars and
Stripes In any foreign port. They say,
'Why not employ foreign ships to carry
and foreign agencies to find markets for
our surplus products if they will do it
cheap?' Do they suppose that such
agencies will have the slightest interest in
extending our trade?
"During the Congress about to meet I
shall persist In my efforts to secure leg
islation for our merchant navy, and I
bespeak for such attempt the support
of the business men of Boston."

and, we hope, profitable.
In seconding the resolution,- H. W.

Federated. Trade Assembly Recom
mends It to Local Unions.
At the meeting of the Federated Trades
last night Vice-President J. A. Goldralner
presided In the absence of President Or
ton. Representatives of several unions re
ported that they had voted their propor
tion of cash to pay the expenses of Dele
gate Morgan to the National convention
at Scranton, December 5.
W. L. Lawson and C. Smead were seated
as delegates from the Plasterers' Union.
Secretary Bailey explained the 1D05 fair
and its connection with organized labor,
and advocated the plan of local unions
subscribing for the stock. He said that
the work of building, etc., was to be done
by union labor, and hoped that all union
men would help along the work of sub
scribing for stock. The fair was going
to give union men a chance to show that
they were a sober, Industrious, enterpris
ing class of people, who had the best in
terests of the community at heart.
President Orton. having returned from a
meeting of the 1805 committee, took the
floor and advocated the cause of the fair,
setting fdrth Its advantages, etc, and said
that the Portland unions should subscribe
from $40,000 to $50,000. He suggested that
the union canvassing committee be en
larged, and said that every cent sub
scribed will come back.
It was enthusiastically voted to Indorse
the fair and to recommend it to the sup
port of the several unions.
COURTHOUSE MEN TO SUBSCRIBE.
They Get Ready for Conilnpr of the
Canvassing; Committee.
Deputies In the various offices In tne
Courthouse met yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock In the Assessor's office, to con
sider the question of subscribing for etock
In the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The
meeting was the result of a notice sent
out several days ago by Axel Moltzen, a
clerk under Assessor McDonell. It stated
that, in consideration of the fact that
the financial committee of the Exposition
will call on the employes of the Court
county and city governments, and Indus
trial and civic organizations in all parts
of California, today adopted the following
resolutions:
First We demand the continuance of the ex
isting treaties with China, and the re-enactment
of the Geary exclusion law.
Second We recommend that the California
delegates In Conrress act unitedly in the pre
sentation of a bill to accomplish this purpose,
and use their utmost endeavors to secure its
Immediate enactment into a law.
As a. supplemental report, the commit
tee on resolutions presented a statement,
which was adopted, recognizing the men
ace to the Industrial conditions on the
Coast of the rapdly- increasing number
of Japanese and other Asiatic Immigrants,
and asking that the matter be referred to
the executive committee with instructions
to take such steps as may be necessary
to secure all possible protection from the
evils set forth.
The convention also adopted a memorial,
stating at length the reasons why the
continued restriction of Chinese and other
Asiatic Immigration Is demanded by the
people of the Pacific Coast.
RETURN OF CHINESE.
Rnah to Get In Before the Present
Exclusion Law Expires.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Nov. 22.
According to advices from the Orient
brought by the steamship Klnshlu Maru,
arriving today, considerable excitement
prevails in China over the attitude of the
United States relative to the exclusion
law, and fears are entertained among a
large number of Celestials now In China
who are entitled to return to the United
States. The present exclusion law ex
pires In May, 1902, and the basis of fears
of the Chinese Is that a new law will be
enacted of such a stringent nature that
many of the privileged class will be
barred from returning, and hundreds are
preparing to rush to tne United States
before the law expires. Custom-House
records here show that during the past
few months more Chinese have left the
United States to visit China than during
any similar period since the exclusion act
went Into force, and all are now anxious
to return. Between now and next month
each steamer arriving from the Orient
will brlngr a large number.

CONGER'S PROTEST.
Stand of Labor nt Baker City.
BAKER CITY, Nov. 22. The Federated
Labor Union, of this city, at a recent
meeting, passed strong resolutions de
manding the re-enactment of the Geary
law for the exclusion of Chinese. A com
mittee was appointed to wait on Hon.
M. A. Moody when he visits this city, and
urge that he do all in his power to pro
cure the passage of a bill re-enacting the
exclusion law.
Made Under Instructions From the
State Department.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. Minister Con
ger's action in protesting to the Cblneae
Government against the arbitrary cancel
lation of a railway franchise, granted to
an American company, and Its transfer
to a French corporation, was taken upon
representations made to the State Depart
ment by the American-China Improve
ment Company, which has a franchise to
construct a railroad from Canton to Han
kow. It is understood that forfeiture ot
the claim was based on two counts: First.,
that the road was not completed within
the stipulated period of time; and second,
that the American corporation had passed
to the Belgians.
The State Department holds that the
conditions In China for the last year and
a half have been such as to make it im
possible for the American company to
have completed Its work, and that for this
delay the Chinese Government Itself Is re
sponsible. In the second count the fact
that the road maintains its American
charter makes it incumbent upon our
Government, following its rule, to defend
the franchise.
The Stream Slakes "the Astonishing;
Rise of J2 Feet-in Nine Hoars
Craft Smashed Into Rail
road Bridge.
The stern-wheel steamer Kehanl. towing
a large barge, loaded with railroad ties,
was swept against the railroad bridge
pier at the mouth of the Lewis Rlvor yes
terday, and sent to the bottom of that
temporarily turbulent stream a few min
utes later. Fences, bridges, flatboats and
other miscellaneous bric-a-brac are com
ing out on the rise, and making matters
very Interesting for the dwellers along the
lower reaches of both Lewis and Lake
Rivers.
A warm rain has been pelting the slopes
of Mount St. Helens and vicinity for the
past 24 hours with a force that has
swelled the forks of Lewis River out of
all proportions attained in recent years.
The river rtarted to hump Itself In dead
earnest about 9 o'clock. yesterdRy morn
ing, and between that time and 6 o'clock
last evening. It had scored a rise of 12
feet, an average of 16 Inches an hour. Tho
Kehanl came down with the rise, having
In tow the barge Lincoln, loaded with
railroad ties, which she expected to tow
to Portland. Naturally, the current pro
duced with the river rl3lng 16 Inches an
hour was very heavy, and, as the steamer
neared the mouth of the river, her un
wieldy tow was forced against the draw
pier which the Washington & Oregon
Railroad Company has erected. The barge
had her timbers sprung, and commenced
leaking at a rapid rate, and the steamer
was caught by some projecting timbers
from the false work around the pier, re
ceiving a couple of severe InclMona. that
let In enough water to show the crew that
It was a question of a short time on'y be
fore she must sink.
The captain, by prompt work, got his
barge free from the bridge, and towed It
to a place of safety a short distance
down stream, and as quick as It was
made fast, ran for a gravel bar on the
south side of the stream and hurriedly
got out a couple of lines to the shore be
fore the steamer sank on the bar. The
place selected for beaching her was out of
the worst of the current, and as she Is
made fast by heavy lines to a couple of
large trees on shore, it Is thought she
can be held in place until the water sub
sides. The damages", so far as could bo
learned last evening, are not of a serious
nature, and unless she was beached In
such a position that the receding waiters
will break her back, she can probably bo
raised, o.nd repaired at comparatively small
expense. The crew of the, barge and addi
tional men from the steamer were kept at
the pumps on the barge, and succeeded
In keeping her afloat without much diffi
culty. The Kehanl Is owned by Captain O. W.
Hosford, of this city, and has been en
gaged in the Jobbing trade around the
river for several years. Another of Hos
ford's boats, the Bonlta, is temporarily
on the St. Helens run, and, as the scene
of the accident to the Kehanl is only a
few miles from St. Helens, the Bonlta
has probably been sent to assist in tho
work of salvage.
Captain Charles Kamm, superintendent
of the Lewis River Transportation Com
pany, received a message from Captain
Davis, of the Mascotte. last evening, stat
ing that the steamer had picked up a
pontoon containing two men who had
been swept out of Lewis River by the
flood. Captain Davis also reported very
heavy drift coming out of the river. Cap
tain Reese, of the G. M. Walker, another
of the Kamm boats on Lewis River, made
a similar report about the drift and rapid
ly rising streams. Captain Kamm In
structed both captains to hunt a safe
hole with their steamers, and stay there
until the trouble was over. Thera was
quite a flotilla of boats and barges near
the mouth of the river, many of them be
ing used in the construction work on the
bridges and approaches.
It is reported that the railroad company-
has not yet received authority from tho
Government for the construction of the
bridge, and, if this Is the case, the dam
age to the boat and barge may not fail
on her owners. A telephone message from
Llndsley's, near the mouth of the river,
stated that the river was not rising so
rapidly at 10 o'clock last evening, but it
was thought that melting snow In the
mountains would keep It up to a pretty
high stage as long as the warm weather
lasts.
