I: 8 THE -. MOSSING OREGOyiAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER J6, 1902. HANG UP $500,000? Referendum on 1905 Fund Means Delay. K FATAL' TO THE GREAT FAIR Lrct tieApproprlatlon Tal:c Its Kcs tilnr Cotime, Suy Friends of tlie Enterprise The People Have Already Spolien. "No Initiative nor referendum for the Iewls and Clark Fair appropriation. This Is. the sentiment of prominent mem bers of the fair board and of other lead ing citizens. "We should obtain the ap propriation by the regular Legislative procedure,'" they say. Otherwise, a spe cial election will be necessary, the expense of which will be large. "No; we do not fear that the people will reject an appropriation bill if it is sub mitted to popular vote in accordance with the initiative and referendum amendment to the state constitution"; in fact, we be lieve that citizens of the state are in fa vor of the appropriation. Why should the taxpayers be burdened with the un necessary expense? "If there were a regular state election tiear at hand, the matter would wear a different aspect.- But the next regular election is in June, 1904. That will be too Icte to vote money for the fair.1' The same sentiment prevails about a special session of the Legislature. It is quite apparent that the Geer contingent is using the appropriation question as an ar gument for the special session. It is quite manifest, too, that they have hit upon the initiative and referendum question, in Its relation to that appropriation, as another argument, and that they are 'using it for all there is in it. What they say amounts to this: "Suppose the Legislature should make the appropriation? May not 5 per cent of the voters demand a referendum? But the Legislature would probably be ad journed when this demand was made, and no date" would be set for a specdal vote on the question' unless the Legislature were convoked in special session to appoint one. The constitution says: 'All elec tions on measures referred to- the people of the state shall be had at the biennial regular elections, except when, the Legis lative Assembly shall order a special elec tion.' "Suppose the people should reject the appropriation? "Would not another Legis lative session be necessary to appoint a day for a special election on a measure carrying a smaller appropriation? This would cost a pile of money, wouldn't it? It would lose a lot of precious time for the fair, wouldn't it?" Accordingly, the persons who want an extra session of the Legislature before January argue that the people should vote on the appropriation measure before the regular session ends. "In this way the fair will be absolutely 6ure of money Irom the state," harp the gentlemen whom rumor Classifies with Geers friends. But the real friends of the fair don't fall into the trap. They respond: "We do not think the people will demand a referendum. The petition lor a referen dum would have to bear the signatures of between 4000 and. 5000 voters. We do not believe that many yoters in the state would wish to block the appropriation. We are confident the people are with us in this all-Oregon enterprise. Let the appropriation have its normal course through the Legislature." Some persons have advised that a bill for a $500,000.. appropriation be initiated by petition of 8 per cent of the , voters of the state, in accordance with the amendment fo the constitution. This plan does not find .general approval. The constitution says: . Initiative petitions shall be filed with the Sec retary of State not less than four months be fore the election at which they are to be voted upon. ... Any measure referred t the peo ple shall take effect and become the law when It Is approved by a majority of the votes cast thereon, and not otherwise. The advocates of this method say that it would take away from the Legislature the power to "monkey with the appro priation bill. Riders could,' not be attached to it, neither could "deals" be entered into contingent upon the passage of the act. The measure would be entirely free from the "shenanigan" that often accompanies appropriation bills in the Legislature. The men who deem a special session unnecessary say: "We shall gain no time for the Fair by a special session. The chjef reason for passing the appropriation blrV early is the example which would be set for other Northwest States to follow. The Legis latures of those states will meet in Jan uary. So will the Legislature of Oregon. If we pass the bill soon after our. session "begins, the matter can be immediately laid before the other Legislatures. How ever soon the question is disposed of in Oregon, it cannot come before the Legis latures of other states until those bodies meet. Besides, an extra session would cost Oregon about 130,000. So where would be the gain?" MUST XOT BE LOCAL AFFAIR. Levels and Clarlc Fair Trading Dis cussed at Salem. SALEM, Oct. 15. (Special.) Whether the question of a state appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Centennial shall be made the basis tor trades in the next Legislature is a matter that is being dis cussed in this city, and evidently in other parte of the state. It has been intimated and asserted in several papers that the people of Eastern Oregon will withhold their support from the Fair appropriation until they get what they want In the way of appropriations, and that some of the Senatorial candidates will secure votes l)y the same means. The talk of such trades Is founded upon the assumption that the Multnomah delegation is, charged with the task of getting the appropriation, and that in order to get it they must make consesslons to other parts of the state. A very prominent resldent'of one of the Valley counties said last night that trad ing upon the appropriation must not be permitted for a moment, for as soon as it la commenced the Fair .will become a local affair. "The Multnomah delegation is no more charged with the duty of look ing after that appropriation than any other delegation," he said, "and as soon as they assume that they are, they ad mit that the Fair is not an enterprise of interest to every part of the state. They should reject any suggestion that they are any more Interested In the appropria tion than any other members of the Legislature. The question of an appropri ation should be decided according to the views of a majority, upon the merits of the enterprise, and If it is decided that no appropriation shall be made, then Ore gon can give up the Fair and accept as gracefully as possible the disgrace In which she will stand in the eyes of the rest of the United States. "I don't see how any Senatorial candi date can trade or permit his friends to trade for him, upon any appropriation question, in order to get votes in the Senatorial contest. To adopt such tac tics is to admit that the candidate who resorts to it is too small for such a high position. It would be an admission that he has not strength enough to se cure, his election upon his own merits. To trade upon the state's interests in or der to secure on election to :the United States Senate would be to admit that he would trade off tho state's Interests df ter hie" election in order to secure his own personal ends. No man who Is a possi bility as a Senatorial candidate can as sume aposltlon that leaves him open to the suspicion of trying to trade upon a matter of state-wide interest, such as the Lewis arid Clark Fair must be admitted to be. Fair appropriations and all other appropriations and all Senatorial candi dates shourd stand upon their own mer its." " There is one other feature of the trad-i ing quesuon mat applies witn equal iprce to all matters of legislation. The man who trades in the next Legislature -never knows whether he can deliver the goods. The people have the last say In the mat ter, and if a trade Is made that they do not like they may. step in with the refer endum and stop the delivery of the goods. This new amendment is likely to put a stop to much" of the trading which has been ijf 60 great Injury to legislation in this, as in other states. The remark" has been heard that the members of the Multnomah delegation would be compelled to trade their sup port for everything else in order to get the desired appropriation. Even if they did! they would not then be sure of get ting the appropriation, for the people might reject the measure-For that rea son they would not be likely to do much tradinsr, even though they assumed that they were more interested in the appro priation than the members from other counties. The position taken by Senator Williamson in his interview in today's Oregonlan is generally commended as be ing in harmony with the true spirit -which should govern legislative action. HOUSE GOES UP IN SMOKE Boys Roast Potatoes on a Hot Fire Under Tar Roof. A. hot little conflagration out on Gllsan street, near Twenty-second, yesterday caused some excitement in the Immediate vicinity of the blaze, and before it was llnally extinguished the flames had con sumed a small dwelling and its entire contents. i A few weeks ago several small boys be came imbued with the building spirit tha't was at the time prevalent in the minds of most of the citizens of Portland, and decided that, in order to be in line with the general march of improvement, they should construct a house on a beautiful vacant lot. Several midnight raids were made on a dilapidated sign board that reposed In peace on a lot near by, and having secured enough old lumber, they set to work on their new home. After many pounds of nails had been driven into the half-decayed plank? In a vain endeavor to make them hold together, and after much hammering on finger nails, on odd looking shack was taeked together. On the sides were to be read some discon nected signs, auch as " eneral Arth " "Ids, Generously Good," " Ingllngs Greatest Shows," and several other ex amples of the slgnpainter's art. and being thus coated with a liberal thickness of polychromatic paint, it was decided that another painting was unnecessary. The roof leaked when the rain came, so several gallons of coal tar was spread over the top of the dwelling and allowed to ooze through the cracks, and effectually to stop them up. In addition, several square yards of tarred paper was secured, and tacked on top of the tar, making a most perfect specimen of roof-making. Yesterday mbrnlng about 10 o'clock the aforesaid little boys began the prepara tion of their midday meal, .and having a little stove in the main living-room, which, by the way, was the only room In the house, they commenced to bake some po tatoes. They got up a roaring fire in the stove, and then slammed the "spuds" into the red-hot oven, and let the. heat do the rest. Their fuel supply was not pinched on account of the coal strike; in fact, they had many armsful under the back eaves, and all they did after they got the potatoes in the cooking arrangement was to stoke in the wood. They evidently used all the fuel up before the potatoes were cooked through, so they hitched up their wagon, which was nothing more than a soap box on two wheels, and started for a. new supply. They had not been gone more than 10 minutes till the tar began to get warm, and it was soon blazing merrily. The tarred paper commenced, too, and soon tho roof caught, and the smoke that went up to heaven looked for all the world as if the Southern Pacific had left one of Its engines there by mistake. The flames spread, and the wind blew, and soon here was a goodly Are raging inside the shanty. About this time the neighbors became in terested. . . t. U1-5 One woman next door was engaged In putting up grape jelly, and seeing that the flames were dangerously near to her fence and house, she hiked out Into the yard and seized the garden hose, her servant making quick time with a jelly glass full of water, with a hazy Idea that it would quell . the raging flames. The hose was quickly coupled up to a faucet and a tiny stream, mostly spray, was shot into the seething mass. The water was steam long before it got anywhere near the Are, but the ladles were aware that they were doing their best, and they kept on wielding the nozzle. After about an hour's work with the hose, and after several buckets of water had been carted by the little boys, who had meantime re turned and stood gazing with rueful looks at all that was left of their nails, boards and potatoes, the fire was extinguished and the volunteer hose company went back to the grape jelly triumphant. When the heat had in a measure sub sided, the boys commenced tp fish around in the coals with long sticks for their din ner, and what was left of their hammers and. saws. They wisely concluded that the potatoes would be about done, and they wanted to lose as little as possible, considering the fact that they carried no insurance. At a late hour last night a representative of The Oregonlan was" In formed by one of the joint owners that the structure would be rebuilt. At that time all that could be seen was a red hot cook stove, ccpwnlng and surmounting a large pile of glowing embers. FALLS UNDER CAR WHEELS Gatetender Berg's Misstep Cannes Ills Death. By a misstep which ended In his death two hours afterward, Rean J. Berg, 17 years old, a gate tender in the employ ment of the Northern Pacific T.crmlnal Company, and residing at 229 North Six teenth street, fell from a switching en gine at 7:30 o'clock last night In the termi nal yards, and was run over by the cars. He was Injured about the back, and lower portion of the body, and, on being taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital, he died two hours afterward. It could not be learned last night whether or not he was working on the engine when the acci dent happened, but several railroad men agreed that, owing to the downfall of rain, the engine was slippery, arid that on crossing a switch It would be a diffi cult matter to keep one's hold unless the person was accustomed to such wofk. Coroner Flnley will inquire into the case today. BARGAINS THURSDAY.

While Strolling About the City He 3Iccts His Son Mind Is Blank ns to Wanderings. MISSING LEWIS SYLVESTER, 55 YEARS old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 210 pounds, general contractor, from Aurora, 111., missing since August 23, 1902; last seen at corner of State and Monroe sts., Chicago ; had an Elk's head and G. A. R.' button on coat lapel. The lost was found in this city yester day. But what Lewis Sylvester has been doing In the Interval he cannot, remember, as It is all a blank to him. It Is- thought that he has been suffering from a form pf brain trouble. His son, E. L. Sylves ter, who arrived In this city Tuesday, to Join in the anxious search, suddenly met his father in the throng of passers-by yes terday at Fifth and Morrison streets, and in all probability would have gone on his way unconscious of the fact that his father was near him, had 'not the lat ter suddenly cried out: "Hello, Ed." The .astonished son turned around, weary after his 3000-mile journey, and there stood his. lost father. The onlook- LctvIs Sylvester. ers only saw the spectacle of two men shaking hands. That was all. Father and son went to the latter's room at the Per kins Hotel, and today they leave for their Illinois home, via San Francloco, glad to know that their troubles are over. Up to lust August the elder Sylvester had attended to his business as usual, and his family did not observe anything wrong with him. One day he paid a visit to Chicago, saying that he had some business there to attend to. He had a business appointment at the corner of State and Monroe streets. In that city, and, after this was attended to, he dis appeared as suddenly as If he had dropped through the earth. When Syl vester did not return home at the ap pointed time his family became uneasy about him, and instituted an anxious search, but without success. Chicago was vainly visited. As the mlslng man Is an Elk and a Grand Aririy man, both these organizations were applied to for assist ance to locate him. and they cheerfully promised to do all that was possible. Cir culars containing his description with a photograph attached were mailed to dif ferent police officials throughout this country, and the aid of the newspapers was obtained. No clew, however, as to his whereabouts came to the af flicted family until about a week ago, When a letter arrived addressed to his son came from thp elder Sylvester bear ing the somewhat confused message: "I am all right, arid the sisters at Mount Tabor are taking good care of me." No name was signed, but the postmark was that of Portland, Or. The Portland police authorities were Im mediately communicated with by tele graph, and a vigorous search was made over all" the hospitals by Detectives Ford and Cordano, but no parent named Syl vester was found. The' f . Insisted, how ever, that his father was somewhere about this city, and, rather than give up the new clew, he arrived here Tuesday night, took -a room at the Perkins Hotel, and spent the remainder of the evening with the police searching the city for his lost father. The police were favorably Im pressed with the younger Sylvester, who Is a good-looking young man. Intelligent and of a good address. Yesterday morn ing young Sylvester reported at the police station bright and early, asking if any new clew had been received during the night, and the answer was: "Nothing new." "I'm used to that In my long search." remarked the young man, and, saying that he would telephone to the police sta tion In the coursa of the day If he found any trace of his father, he left Second and Cak streets. Meanwhile the detectives were busily at work along their own lines, and went on the assumption that the elder Sylvester was probably in some hos pital, public institution or boarding house, the victim of an accident, and pos sibly so dazed that he .could not tell his name. It was even feared that the miss ing man might have been Injured by a blow from a sandbag, delivered by a rob ber covetous of the old man's watch and chain. Instance? were recalled how such victims have often" been unable to re member as much as their name for weeks. Detective Ford was walking along Fifth street yesterday morning when he saw young "Sylvester approaching, arm In arm with an elderly man. Before the detec tive could ask for an explanation, for ne guessed that the stranger was the miss ing man. young Sylvester Joyously said: "Mr. Ford, this Is my father. I started out to find him, but he found me." . The elder Sylvester shook hands, and In the course of a conversation said that his mind was a blank eo far as his past move ments were concerned. "I don't know how I got to Portland." he said earnestly. "I don't remember writing any letters to my family." An Oregonlan reporter afterward" inter viewed both father and son, and the lat ter said: "I am delighted beyond measure to find my father again. It'll be good news for the folks at home. I have tried to get him to explain what has happened to him during the interval, but he has no distinct recollection. He must nave been In some hospital in or near this city. I'm obliged to the Elks for their great kindness to us." Mr. Sylvester, Sr.. heartily shook hands, j "u " MucoLiuii ne sa:a: xoung man. I do not know what has happened to me. I don't remember anything after Chicago. I'm glad I'm going home with my boy." Inquiries were made at the Home for the Aged, Thirtieth street, near the Base Line road, the Mount Tabor Nervous Sanitarium, and the various hospitals In this city, but no person answering to the elder Sylvester's description was reported as having received treatment in these in stitutions. From Sylvester's present ap pearance it does not appear that he has suffered any physical Injury recently. The police think that while suffering from a form of brain trouble he came to this city and must have been living very quiet ly In a private boarding-house and wrote the one letter to his family while in a lucid interval. The police are mizzled about this strange case. Great Central Activity at Roxebnrg. ROSEBURG. Or.. Oct. 13. (Special.") Work was begun here today by Con tractor F. F. Patterson upon a foundation 100 feet square for an office and headquar ters building for the Great Central Rail road Company.

The Aaron Rose tract of 47 acres has just been acquired by.a company o"f local capitalists, and will be platted. This ad joins the town on the south, and .ackson street, as well as others, will be extended through this addition, making it a very important tHoroughfare. CLUB'S ROUSING RALLY. Multnomah Members Meet to Discuss Affairs. Two ihundred members of the Multno mah Amateur Athletic Club gathered In the club gymnasium last evening for the first smoker of th'e ' season. The main object of the meeting was to arou!?e 'in terest In the club "affairs, especially in the coming football season. The programirie consisted of short speeches on club top ics, a vocal solo by Mr. Kayres, music by Parsons orchestra, and wrestling bout between Alex Be France and Edgar Frank, which was won by the former. President R. F. Pra'el opened the meet ing by a short address, stating that the object of the gathering was to stir up en thusiasm In regard to the football team. The club team deserves the support of all the club members, and' Is the principal revenue of the club In the, athletic line. As the financial affairs of the club are In need of alteration, Joseph N. Teal, one of the former presidents of the club, was called upon to talk upon that subject. He dwelt upon the manner in which the club had built itself tip to Its present state since Its organization, 11 years ago, And appealed to the membdrs to do all In their power to help put the club in a position to pay off the heavy loan It now carries. His plan was to have the members in crease the present membership of the club. W. H. Chapln spoke on "Club Reminis cences," giving a brief and interesting history of the Institution since it was founded. Mr. Chapln was a member of the first board of directors, and secretary of the club. A. A. Bailey spoke briefly of the property of the club. Charles E. McDonell was called upon to start the football enthusiasm by an address on "Football of the Past.' He started In by telling of the football team of 1SS0, and how the collegiate game was then Introduced. From this he discussed the various club teams that have been in the field. He wound up his speech by call ing for rooters to cheer the team of 1C02-03 on to victory. j jCoach George McMillen, who has been closely associated with football affairs of the club for the past six years, then took the floor and told how the boys under him had been practicing faithfully for the coming season and were ready to meet the Whitman College team next Satur day, when the football season here opens. Judge W. M. Cake, several times presi dent of Xhe club, closed the meeting by a stirring speech urging the members to devote all their energies to preserve the athletic life of the club and not to allow It to lose Its standing as such an institu tion. After the meeting refreshments were served to the members. Roscoe Ashley consented to take the leadership of the club rooters this sea son. . HUNTERS HAVE A KICK. Want Season for ' Upland Birds to ' Open September 15. The huriteJ think they are not getting a fair show, and a meeting of the Oregon Fish & Game Protective Association will be held In a couple of weeks to devise a .better plan for the protection of city hunters. The season for upland birds now opens cn October 1, but according to Oregon averages the rains usually commence be fore thin date, and the men from town find that the best shooting1 falls .into the hands of the country people. Itiwill.be proposed that the season open "hereafter on September 15 and close on December 1. Movements In this direction have been defeated before through the Influence of the Legislators from the rural districts. Another matter to be brought up Is the question of putting screens In' Irrigating ditches that draw their supply from mountain streams. Objection is. made to mountain trout fertilizing the fields of the grasping agriculturist. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Tonight "King: Dodo."

"Three years "ago thle month I was a great sufferer with stomach trouble." writes Mrs. William Leigh, o.f Prairie" du Sac. Wis. "I had to give up eating meat, potatoes and sweets, and lived simply on bread and tea; finally that too had to be given up. I got so weak I could not work and 1 took nothing Into my stomach for seven weeks but milk. I had. tried three doctors and all for no purpose; tho last doctor advised me to stop aH'medlclne. I had to anyway. waa .so weak I was prostrate in bed. "A friend advised me to " try Grape Nuts, but I was afraid to when a tea- spponful of milK hrougnt tears to my eyes, my stomach was so raw. But tried one tca3poonful a day of the Grape Nuts for one week, and, finding It agreed with me, Increased the quan'tity. In two weeks I could walk out to the kitchen; In four weeks I walked half a' block, and today I do my own light housekeeping. "I live on Grape-Nuts and know they saved my life: my people all thought I could not live a month when I commenced using them, and are very much surprised at the change In me. I am very grateful that there Is such a food' to be obtained for those who have weak stomachs." SEW TOIAY. MORTGAGE LOANS On improved city and farm property, at lowert current r.it. Building loans.
