THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SA?PRBAY,: OCTOBER i8 1902.. 12 V TO HEAD THE FAIR Committee to Recommend a Director-General. NO SELECTION HAS BEEN MADE Directors May Decide to Delay Action and HusliHHd Resources Lonis Goldsmith, to Make a Gift to tlie City. Who -will be director-general of the Lewis and Clark Fair? The oracles are silent, and meanwhile the question is up to the -ways and means committee of the hoard. That committee "has been instructed to recommend some man for the position at the next meeting of the board, Friday, "pctober 3L But it does not seem likely that the committep. will do so, for the body has given no sign of early considera tion of the subject. The feeling of Its members is that selection of a director general Just now is not opportune. Presi dent H. W. Corbett gave this as his opin ion at the meeting a -week ago. His rea son was that the plan and scope of the -Fair could not be determined upon until an appropriation was obtained from the Oregon Legislature. Until that time high salaried men should not be employed. "We should husband our resources," said Mr. Corbett. The disposition of the ways and means committee is to recommend for director general some man who represents promi nent business and social relations in Port land and Oregon. This man. would have the nominal and actual management of the Fair, and would delegate- the active management to one or more subordinates. The .expediency of recommending a se lection is; questioned when the board is not ready to make the appointment. Louis Goldsmith to Make Gift. Paul Wesslnger, chairman of the site committee, is closing up the contracts which give the board the use of the Fair site. L. J. Goldsmith, agent for Louie Goldsmith, of New Tork, owner of a large fyart of the site, said last night that do nation of a piece of the property to the city was under consideration. "Mr. Louis Goldsmith," said he. "has signified his in tention of making a gift to the city, but has not signified how much he will give." Baker City Vievrs of the Fair. O. L. Miller, of Baker City, one of the new directors, has begun work early for the Fair In his part of the state. He has newspaper interviews as follows: Baker City Democrat: D. L. Miller, a prom inent attorney of this city, one of the board of directors of the Lewis and Clark Fair in 1905. has returned home from a meeting of the board held In Portland, and yesterday, when inter viewed by a Democratic reporter, said: The site Is certainly an ideal one. I at tended the World's Fair, Chicago, and also the Midwinter Fair, at San Francisco, and I be lieve the grounds selected at Portland will sur pass In natural advantages either the World's Fair or tho Mlndwinter Fair. The water ra cllitles could not be Improved ubon, and the location within 20 minutes' rldo of the center of tho city will enable the transportation com panies to handle the people to and from the grounds In a remarkably short space of time. There has been nothing: settled about the working order of business, but I was assured that the Exposition was. to be a Northwest celebration and enterprise, and not a Portland affair. Liberal amounts of money will be ex pended for the proper exhibition Af the products of' tho state, and every effort will be made to assist Eastern Oregon In making the best min eral display ever seen In the West. If Eastern Oregon people do their best toward making a creditable showlne. there Is no doubt the Ex position companj will do more for us than has ever been hoped for. "In my opinion. Eastern Oregon has more to gain In a permanent way from the results of tho Fair than any other part of the state. Wo have undeveloped resources. We need men with muscle, with money and with ambition to help develop these resources. There will be thousands of Jurt such people come to the Fair. They will be looking for Jufit what we have to offer. If wo are on the ground with a respect able showing we will attract a population of Just such people as wo want. We must- work for an excursion rate from Portland to Eastern Oregon for the visitors to the Fair. If ever there was an opportune lme to advertise our resources this is certainly the time. Ana we do not need to wait for the Fair. With one of the directors located at Baker City, a large amount of advertising can be done as the work progresses. I find the Portland people anxious to get more knowledge of what we have to offer, and I shall not be backward about telling them. "I feel confident that Eastern Oregon will be treated right and given Its full share of oppor tunity to be represented at the great Exposi tion, and that we have much to expect from the results of the 1003 Centennial." Baker City Herald: Renewed interest Is being manifested in the 1005 Fair now that the board of directors has seen fit to appoint a colleague in the city. Some delay was occasioned In the work following upon the visit here during the Summer of the commissioners, owing to the nece6Itj' of designating others to fill the re quired number to constitute the strength of the new Doara. Mr. Miller is regarded an excellent represen tative for Eastern Oregon. Bf sides .having been actively Identified with the Chamber of Com merce for three years, he has enjoyed -experience In pamphletxwork and depicting the re sources. Industries and general lines appertain ing to the country. Already he has started the ball rolling, and this locality Is assured prom inence In the mineral and other displays to bo made at Portland, where the whole world will be given a glimpse and even the residents of the Northwest will be enlightened as to what has been accomplished, and what may be In the garden spot, largest mining and best cattle region boasted by Mother Earth. Work of John Barrett in Orient. John. Barrett, commissioner to the Ori ent of the St' Louis Exposition. Is letting the Eastern-world hear about the LewJs and Clark Exposition. In the Shanghai Times of September 25 appears the fol lowing: There will be an Exposition in Portland, Or., In 1005, which Is calculated not only to be of special Interest to the far East, but to afford exhibitors and visitors to the St. Louis Exposi tion convenient and profitable reason to wait over on the Pacific Coast, on the way back to China. It is .to be called the .Lewis and Clark Exposition, so named after the early explorers of Oregon and other Northwest territory. Com missioner Barrett, of the St. Louis Exposition, speaking yesterday of tho Portland enterprise, said: "Portland has now under way plans for an Exposition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the expedition of Lewis and Clark, the cele brated pioneers, to the Pacific-Northwest, and the consequent opening up Of that country to settlement -which led to the final acquisition by the United States not only of Oregon, but of the States of. Washington. Jdaho and ..Mon tana. While It will not be' as large as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, it will be of sufficient Importance to deserve creditable ex hibits from Asiatic countries. One of Its prin cipal features will be the Oriental display, be cause the Northwest Is vitally Interested in the development of trans-Pacific trade, and will profit by Its increase. I am advising fexhlb Uons from Japan. China. Corca. Slam and the Philippines to send their exhibits to Portland after they are dono with them at St. Louis. So far this suggestion has been well received. Portland Is well located for this undertaking and specially accessible lor. Asiatic exhibitors and visitors. Steamers are how running direct from Shanghai and Yokohama to Portland, and those going to San Francisco or Seattle and Tacoma have direct connections by rail and X,th Every facility will be arrorded Asiatic govt mments and Individuals who wish to participate. As the Exposition will open only a few months after tho one at St. Louis closes, it should be convenient for ,w;C,?m?nts of the iar E"1 continue T iKiT coairalssl0crs at Portland, and tho cxhlbitorn to transfer their displays either In whole or In part, as may scam best. This Exposition Is shaped by a committee of the ablest business men of Portland and the North! west, and Is deserving of the confidence of Asiatic sovernroents. It will be well worthy of a visit also not only to see the exhibits,, but to become acquainted with the states, cities, in terests and -people" of the Pacific Northwest, which is rapidly forging to the front as a most important sectipn of America. The resources, the development of commerce and population, the growth of such cities as Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and their efforts to build up Commerce with Asia, all commend that new. portion of the United State's to the attention of far Eastern peoples, foreigners and natives alike." . PROTEST ON FRANCHISE Federated Trades Council "Urges. Council to Suspend Action, y A protest has been made by the Feder ated Trades Council of Portland against the granting of franchises to the Street Railway Companies to extend their lines, until after the time at which the new city charter shall have become a law and they can be granted according to the condi tions laid down by the new charter. "The companies have noticed the conditions of the new charter," they say, "and have seen that It will be harder for them to get their franchisee according to It. They think that it is to be passed and are mak ing a grand rush to get all they can be fore it goes, into effect. -There sboild he a great deal of discretion as to granting FAMOUS FINANCIER ILL WORK SO HARD IN WALL STREET NO MORE.

During the week nine new unlons.nssessed their members for a .day's pay each, and the union, contribution to the. fund has now reached $5000. Tho number thai have not yet reported are less than half of the union members that can Be counted on to contribute and the' leaders feel con fident .that they will be able, to eand $10,000 even though the settlement of the strike has thrown a damper on their work. They hold tha.t the men have been out of work for s6 long and were paid so poorlv when they were working that they must bo in a very destitute condition.

REPORT IN TIRE RELIEF HOW THE FUNDS WERE DISTRIB UTED BY COMMITTEE. For - Sa'&crcrs in Recent Disaster $7051 72 Was Expended Besides Other Donations.1 , l N """"" ' The fire relief board met yesterday morning in the office of the Merchants' Protective Association on Ankeny street, and the executive, committee made Its final report. This report shows an ex pendlture of $7651 72, and , receipts to the amount of $7779 37, leaving a balance on hand of 5126.63. This amount will be left in the hands of the committee, . for use during the Winter, when more cases of destitution may spring up. The report in detail' is as follows: Portland, Oct. 16. To the general committee of citizens appointed for the .relief of fire suf ferers at a public meeting, September 10, 1002 Gentlemen: Your executive committee, appointed Septem- ber 20, 1002. begs leave to submit the following report: fcarly in September, following a season Of unusual drouth, forest fires rr inni,i.riihii magnitude and entailing heavy loss In property miu mv occurred in tne immediate vicinity of Portland, Or. The' localities suffering wors.t from such fires arenas follows: Sprlngwatcr, --Lents. ' Sycamore and Bridal Veil. In Oregon: La Camas. Lewis River, Washougal and Elma. In Washington. The citizens of Portland and of some of the adjoining towns acted promptly for the relief of those who had lost their property by fire, and who were In need of Immediate supplies In the way of food, clothing, etc. .Many different organisations and societies commenced the col- lection of money and supplies as soon as the se verity of (he loss suffered and tho suffering likely to ensue wcro ascertained and appre ciated. The general anxiety to afford the need ed relief resulted In a public meeting Septem ber 10, at which a committee of 20 citizens was selected, and these, on "September 20, appointed an executive committee having general power to proceed as might seem to It necessary In the premises. The chairman of this commit tee appointed an auxiliary committee of ladles from the different churches. The executive committee has held many ses sions and pursued Its Investigation with a view to ascertaining where suffering existed and how It might best be relieved. It was necessary to act promptly, for the reason that a large number of people had been left with out shelter, food and clothing, besides several who were injured, and others who were made sick by the exposure and excitement attendant upon their efforts to preserve their homes or in making hard and perilous Journeys to escape threatening danger from surrounding Arcs. An agent was sent to the Lewis River district and one to the La Camas and Washougal districts, with a view of ascertaining the situation and making suggestions In the way of the kind and amount of relief necessary. Telegrams were sent to Mayors and leading citizens of different cities In the vicinity of which bad flre3 had oo curred. and all proper means were used by the committee to acquire the Information necessary for proper discharge of Its duty. Tho ladles' auxiliary committee was appointed by the chairman of this committee at the meet ing of September 20. This" committee opened headquarters at Messrs. Ames & Harrl3 ware house, 12 Second strer t, and has- been In con tinuous session until October 14, when the very large amount of clothing, bedding, furniture, etc, which had been donated by the citizens of this city had all been distributed among tho various fire sufferers and. local relief commit tees having charge of supplies, etc. The summary of disbursements will Indicate the general disposition made of the funds com ing into me nanas oz uio committee. It was necessary In some cases to send Immediate relief, and blankets, staple groceries and other necessities of life were purchased by the exec utive committee to the amount of $1832 25. In order to supplement and make more effective the donations from the citizens In the way of clothing, bedding, etc.. merchandise was pur chased by the ladles' committee to the amount of $507 80. There was distributed In cash do nations drrcct to relief committees and indi viduals requiring assistance, ?51C0. The total expense. Including telegrams, telephone, haul ing, labor, clerk hire, etc. amounts to $101 48; total disbursements amount to 57G51 72. Bal ance on hand at this time. ?12G 65. Attached hereto and made a part hereof is a statement more particularly setting forth tho cash receipts and disbursements. It should be understood that the merchandise mentioned In this cash statem?nt Is new merchandise pur chased and sent forward, and has ho reference whatever to tho donations of clothing, bedding and furniture made by citizens of this city: nor does this report cover private donations made direct by different Individuals, firmn nn.i mr. poratlons of this city In the way of money, provisions, building material, etc., which arc known to have been made, but which did not pass through the hands of this committee. Supplies were distributed by the ladles' aux iliary committee to 120 adults at head of fam ilies, CO adults not at head of families, and 170 children, making a total of 355 persons supplied through the ladles" auxiliary committee. Many letters on file from recipients of the bounty of this city evidence the gratitude of the people who were benefited by the kindly thoughtf ulness of Its citizens.

The Franklin Association, of Portland, a job printers' organization, was formally Instituted last evening. The association was only Incorporated a few weeks ago, for it has only been by the long-continued efforts of a few men that the rival shops could be brought into an organization. A few days ago the whole plan had apparent ly come to naught, but the meeting last evening was harmonious, and the organ ization was perfected and the following of ficers elected: President,. W. E. Prud homme; vice-president, F.. W. Baltes; sec retary and treasurer, George Jj. Peaslee. The board of directors includes the officers and Alvin S. Hawk, J. R. Rogers, Edward James and Alfred Anderson.- t The capital stock Is g(ven as $400, and 27 of the $10 shares have already been sub-, scribed and paid for. This Is a formal proceeding to bind the members more closely together and to make each one re member that he has an actual part in the welfare of the association. No by-laws' have been drawn up nor price list ar ranged, but these matters will be quickly settled. The printers have no idea of forming a trust or combination that will enforce ex orbitant prices. Rumors of this Intended movement have been heard for some time, and the directors of the Lewis and Clark Exposition were fnade to believe that it wag directed against their interests bd far as .high, prices for Exposition printing were concerned. The association Indig nantly denies this, and with apparent good faith. , Of the 36 job printing shops in Portland, 27 have entered the association, and the remainder will - do so when they learn more of Its plans. A society wa3 formed here last November which, though it had no connection with the National organiza tion, was called the Typothetae. The Franklin Association Is largely composed of the same men, but has a different ob ject Not only are the printers affected by the association, but also the bookbinders, type dealers and paper companies. John S. Plnney, manager of the Portland branch of the American Type. Foundry Company, and one of those prominent In the formation of the association, speaks of the body as follows: "The objects of the Franklin Association are to correct so far as possible the de structive conditions that surround the printing business in Portland. Some of those conditions nre unprofitable prices, credits that are unwarranted, floating dead beats, and general lack of co-operation for mutual benefit along lines that are now followed by other professions and Indus tries. ' "Educational efforts will be made to help the printer overcome the losses inflicted upon him by the public, and to some ex tept by himself. "Everything entering Into the product of a printing establishment, and everything necessary for maintaining a printing plant, Is more costly npw than for some years, and wages have also sharply advanced. Renta and all other expenses are higher. But Portland master printers have not ad Justed their business methods to conform to prevailing conditions, and especially has there been lack of professional fraternal ism that proves so stimulating and bene ficial when participated in by those whose Interests are allied. "The mechanical equipments of Portland printing offices are well in keeping with those operated in Cleveland, Minneapolis, Buffalo and other large trade centers In the East, and the quality of printing, binding and lithographing done in Portland compares favorably with the best product of any city in the country. Why, then, should Portland printers adhere to busi ness policies that provide nothing for profit," plant renewal and other needs that all prudent business men foresee and pro vide for. That they may not do so except by willful neglect will be the aim of .the Frankiln Association, and it has the pledged support of Portland printerdom. "Within a short time the association will publish statistics showing the prlntins In dustry of this city to be among Portland's moot valuable assets, in capital invested, men and women employed, wages paid and homes maintained. And on this showing it will ask the business support of Port land people." Fine Resort Hotel Barneil. JAMESTOWN, N. Y.. Oct. 17.

It is a great satisfaction to feel that one ivoman can write to another telling her the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that her letter will bo seen by a woman only, a woman full of sympathy for her sick sisters, and with a knowledge of woman's ills greater than that possessed by any other person. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the confidence thus entrusted to her, and although, she publishes thousands of testimonials from women vsho have been benefited by her advice and medicine, never in all her experience has she published such a letter without the full consent, and often by special request of the writer. The reason Mrs. Pinkhamis so amply qualified to give advice in cases of female ills is for the reason that over one hundred thousand cases come before her each year, some personally, others by mail,-and this, has been going oh for twenty years, day after day, and day after day. Twenty years of constant successt think of tho knowledge thus gained. Surely, women are wise in seeking advice from a woman cf such experience, especially when it is absolutely free. As an illustration of the good coming from such advice we herewith publish two letters and portrait of Miss Hattie DeG-roat, the reading of which should give every sick woman confidence in Mrs. Pinkham's ability to help them. This is only one of thousands of tlio same kind of letters which Mrs. Pinkham has on file. 1 r eisj Has no Interest in your case. He is seeking a larger profit. Follow the record of this medicine, ana rememDer that the thousands of cures of women whose letters are constantly printed in this paper were not brought about by " something else," but by Lydia E.
