THE MORNING OREGONIAN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1902:
TO SGALP MOORE
Faction in Board of Trade
Seeks His Defeat.
SECRETARY AFTER RE-ELECTION
Jit the AbbbrI Meeting Tonight Offi
cers Will Be Cfaonen Scope of the
Board May Be . "Widened to
Serve Greater Purpose.
Certain gentlemen of the Board of Trade
are after the scalp of the secretary.
James M. Moore. They don't think Mr.
Moore Is equal to his Job, and they al-Ipc-e
that he is not business-like in his
methods and accounts. They assert that
he stirred up things when he shouldn't
and that he hasn't stirred up things when
he should. They aver that the records of
his office are kept in a shlpshod manner.
Mr Moore treats all these attacks with
quiet disdain. "I have heard of these
eubterraneas attacks." said hfenast night,
"but nobody has had the courage to meet
me face to face with them. 1 should cer
tainly have more admiration for the gen
tlemen who are assailing me if they
would come Into the open. My records
ihave at all times been open to inspection,
-and so they are now. I shall present them
t the annual meeting."
Nevertheless Mr. Moore is likely to be
up against it at the annuaT meeting to
tnlght, for he is a candidate for re-elec-ftion.
Mr. Mooro Is opposed by a strong
element of the board. Whether his antag
onists will be able to defect him Is a.
question that will be decided tonight.
JThey have been laying plans for his de
feat for several days. If he shall not be
.elected, who will be? This is a question
for which there Is no answer as yet.
President Beach will probably be re
flected. The other officers are: "William
fKlllingsworth. first vice-president; James
Steele, second vice-president; and Tyler
'"Woodward, treasurer.
Prominent members of the board favor
ta reorganization of the body. They think
'the board could serve a higher usefulness
iby combining the functions of such public
bodies as the Civic Improvement Aesocia
ition, the Taxpayers' League, the old Com
anittee of One Hundred, etc
"There would be a wide field of work for
.such a body." said a member yesterday.
"The Chamber of Commerce has been re
juvenated largely by our competitive ef
forts, and it can now be relied aipoh to
take care of trade and commercial ques
!tlon. The Manufacturers' Association
will look after manufacturing topics. The
duties of the Board of Trade are not
ended by any means, but our body could
serve a more useful purpose by broaden
ing its field of endeavor in the way I
have suggested."
BUREAU PROJECT A GO.
The Immigration Committee Has
Raised $10,430.
The immigration bureau is a "sure go."
Over two-thirds of the money required is
raised. The sum already subscribed is
$10,430.
"We'll reach our goal before the new
year comes in," says the committee that
is pushing the project.
The committee has sp'ent three weeks
at the work. Its members have had to
trot around lively, and they have worn
out a good deal of shoe leather. They
get no compensation for their labors, and
they wish that all citizens would appre
ciate this fact. Nearly everybody does,
but once In & while the committee rubs
up against somebody who doesn't.
"What graft are you getting out of
this?" asked a hard-headed gentleman
who Is a politician when he Is not a
lawyer, and a lawyer when he la not a
politician. ThlB gentleman has high polit
ical aspirations.
"None at ail." came back the response.
"I'm not a plnheaded politician."
Perhaps this was the reason the aspir
ing gentleman didn't subscribe. '
Sub-bureaus have already been organized
in a number of counties. These bureaus
will supply the Portland bureau with
printed matter and with products for ex
hibition. The project was indorsed by the
Irrigation Convention. The purpose of
the bureau is to set forth the resources
and industries of the state for the infor-
mation and guidance of newcomers. The
subscribers to the fund will elect a board
of directors. Their names will be printed
on all the stationery of the bureau and
will thus have an influence in directing
country trade. Subscribers up to date

ROBBERS GROWING WEARY
Horse Worn Out and They Cannot
Travel "Fast. .
BUTTE, Mont., Dec 3. A special to' the
Inter-Mountain from Billings, Mont., sayei
Soon after the robbery yesterday. Sheriff
Potter, of Carbon County, assumed com
mand of the chase, taking it up where the
local posse from Brldger left .qftr Potter
and his men followed the trail, which led
them lurther to the northwest and in the
direction of Absorakee.
Late at night the posse reached that
town, which is 12 miles south of Columbiis
and an equal distance from the Northern
Pacific Railway. Then they got word that
the three robbers, worn, and weary from
hard riding, and gruff and vicious, rode
up to the Arthur ranch, six miles south
of Absorakee. Only the cook and to other
men were at the ranch. The robbers did
not offer, to molest them, but demanded
fresh horses. There were none to be had,
MAN WHO MADE
CAPTAIN GEORGE "W. STREETER.
CHICAGO, Dec 3. The Jury In the Streeter case rendered a verdict this morn
ing, finding Captain George Wellington Streeter, Henry Hoelatke and William Mc
Manners guilty of manslaughter, and fixing their punishment at imprisonment In
the penitentiary. The Jury recommended clemency In the case of Hoeldtke. The
three defendants were accused of the murder of John S. Kirk, a watchman for
Henry W. Cooper, to whom were entrusted the Interests of the lake shore property-owners,
whose land adjoins the renowned district of Lake Michigan, over
which Streeter's claim of rulershlp has given the police all kinds, of trouble. Kirk
was ehot In a fight, between the Cooper and Streeter forces on February 11. The
three men were tried last July for the murder of -Kirk, but the Jury disagreed
after many hours of deliberation.
the only animals in the corral being unfit
for hard work.
The men at the ranch give a meager de
scription of the three. The man who ap
peared to be the leader was middle-aged
and' of medium elze. A rusty fur coat cov-
ereo mm irom neaa to root. He was- tne
only one who did any talking, and he
spoke but a few words. One of the other
men appeared to be about 30 years of age.
He wore a black mustache and had beady.
black eyes. He was attired In a heavy
cloth or chinchilla overcoat. The third
man was an Inoffensive-looking youth of
21 or 22 years, who seemed most fearful
of -being recognized.
When they found that no fresn horses
were, to be obtained, they ate some bread
and meat the cook gave them, and rode
away, though their gait, owing to the
tired condition of the horses, was not
rapid. These horses, it now appears, were
stolen- Monday night from a ranch near
Joliet.
Apparently the robbers Intend to get
from the head of the Stillwater into
the Teton country east of the National
Park, and work their way down into the
Jackson Hole region.
Eight hundred dollars reward has been
offered for the capture ' of the men. $500
by the Brldger Bank and $100 by each of
the Red Lodge banks. 4

TELL OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS
WORKERS OP MULTNOMAH COUNTY
DISCUSS TOPICS.
Mrs. Mary .Foster Bryner, a Noted
Snnday School Teacher, Ad
. dresses the Conventioa.
The Multnomah County Sunday School
Association was in 'session yesterday
afternoon arid evening in the Cumberland i-
Presbyterian Church, East Twelfth ana
East Taylor streets. A. A. Morse pre
sided. The presence of Mrs. Mary Foster
Bryner, of Peoria, 111., an international
Sunday school worker, added much to
the interest of the proceedings, and was
regarded as a great treat to the teach
ers. A brief devotional exercise was held In
the afternoon, when some reports were
received from district superintendents.
Mrs. R. R. Steele spoke entertainingly of
the Primary Union in Portland, and told
something of the efforts put forth to keep
it going. She said that a capable teacher
was greatly needed. Mrs. C. M. Kiggins
WAR ON CHICAGO
gave a paper on "Beginner's Course and
Cradle Roll."
Mrs. Bryner then took the platform and
spoke for some time on various phases
of the Sunday school work. She took up
the subject of the international lessons
prepared for use of Sunday schools, and
showed how and by whom they were pre
pared, but she gald that results must de
pend on the teachers themselves. There
must bo thorough preparation for the les
son In advance, so" that there would not
be machine work. Mrs. Bryner insisted
that it was the duty of the teacher to
make thorough preparation and to be full
of the lesson to be taught Mrs. Bryner
spoke several times during the afternoon
Land the delegates preferred to hear her
talk to taking up the time themselves
The afternoon was taken up with the
discussion of departments of Sunday
school work. At adjournment at 5:45
luncheon was served by the ladles of the
church, which was enjoyed by all the dele
gates. in tne evening services were
opened at 7:30. After praise service, R,
R. Steele gave an instructive address on
"Quarterly Written Review." This was
followed by a short talk by Mrs. Bryner
on "Pivotal Periods of Childhood."
FRUITMEX TO MEET SATURDAY.
Growers Will Decide Whether or Not
They Want n Union.
The fruitgrowers' meeting will be held
next Saturday afternoon, In Odd Fellows
Hall, Grand avenue and East Pine street
us previously announced. President
Welch said yesterday that the meeting
will not Interfere with the Grange meet
Ins In Multnomah Hall. At the fruit
growers' gathering It will probably be
settled whether or not there will be
union of the growers who market their
products In Portland. If the growers come
out and show any disposition to support
the movement it will go ahead, but If
they hang back It will be dropped as
general organization.
It Is now u: to the farmers whether
they will start a strong union or not.
They can make or prevent the organiza
tion by turning out or staying away. The
leaders say they are willing to go ahead
as long as there Is any hope of accom
plishing anything, but do not propose
to waste any more time after next Satur
day. C. T. Hunt, who has been prominent in
the movement and who is an experienced
dealer, has already formed plans to make
a combination' of 10 or 20 fruitgrowers,
provided there Is no general union of
growers. He Is of the opinion that such
a combination, which has the experience
and financial ability, can come near con
trolling the fruit market. Mr. Hunt's
plans are approved by a considerable
number of growers, but they will wait and
see what is. done at the meeting Saturday
before taking definite steps.
GREAT POTATO SHIPPING POINT.
Fifteen Cnrlondn Sent From Fair
view in One Day Lost Weelc.
- Fairvlew. on the 0 R. & N. Railroad,
Is probably the most important potato
shipping point In Oregon. Last week In
one day 15 carloads of potatoes were sent
away from that station by Wolf & Co.,
and scarcely a day passes but that from
one to five carloads are shipped. The po
tatoes come mainly from the farmers In
Powell Valley, in the vicinity of Gresham
and Pleasant home. Large quantities also
come from along the Columbia Slough,
where large yields are always secured.
Shipments this year from-'Falrvlew seem
even larger than formerly, although for
some years it -has been a large shipping
point.
A market so near to their homes is a
great thing for the farmer, and brings
him many thousands of dollars In ready
cash. There has been talk of erecting a
warehouse at Fairvlew for handling the
potato crop, and this will probably have
to be done before another year. The com
pletion of the Springwater branch of the
Oregon Water Power & Railway Company
will probably take away some portion of
Powell Valley from Fairvlew as a dis
tributing point, but the Columbia Slough
country will probably always ship prod-,
uce by way of Fairvlew. '

who had been one of the members promi
nent in effecting consolidation.
Mr. Andrews made an excellent talk, in
which he told of the measures that were
taken to bring the three weak lodges to
gether Into one. strong lodge. Mr. An

consolidation, made a pleasing address.

priate remarks. The chairman then called

corded the sisters a side degree, and
aroused their curiosity for the remainder.

when the doors of Odd Fellowship would
be opened to members of the Rebekah
lodges. During the addresses music was

day with a load of cheese from the fac
tory at that place. He says that the fac
tory Is running as usual, and that the
supply of milk furnished keeps up fairly
well. The discovery of disease among

diminution of the milk supply. No other
herd in that neighborhood was Inspected.
The bad weather has prevented the con
tractors from making headway In com
pleting the streets being Improved In

A MUM FACT
HALF THE PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD HAVE STOMACH
TROUBLE.
A Simple Course of Treatment Told
In Every-Day Lnngnase, Free
From Scientific Terms.
Half the people ki the world have
stomach trouble in a greater or less de
gree, usually it comes rrom irregular
or hasty eating, sometimes from other
causes. But there Is Just one way to
treat it, and that can be found in a
booklet which the Dr. Williams Medi
cine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., will
send free to any address upon request.
Mrs. Edith Benedict, of Groton, Mass.,
is one of the many who took this course
of treatment and was cured. She says:
"I had suffered from constipation ever
since about the time my little girl was
born, about 12 years ago, and it finally
became chronic. It Isn't necessary for
me to tell you the trouble it gave me,
but I suffered all the time. Doctors
gave me no permanent relief, and I kept
getting worse.
"At last, something more than a year
ago", when I was all run down and my
blood in a horrible condition, my .mother
told me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale -People, -which she said had ac
complished wonderful results with her.
I purchased eome and took them ac
cording to directions, and in a short time
saw a decided improvement. I contin
ued their use, and they cured me."
If you are suffering from any disorder
of the stomach, write for their free
booklet, entitled "What to Eat and How
to Eat." It contains information that
should be in the hands of 'every person
who Is suffering from a disordered di
gestion. It treats of the proper selec
tion and preparation of food, the relative-value
and digestibility of various
food products; it contains a chapter on
the use of alcohol, and gives a course of
treatment by which constipation may be
overcome without the use of cathartics.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple, the medicine which cured Mrs.
Benedict and thousands of others, are
an unfailing specific for all diseases
arising from Impoverished blood or
weakened, unstrung nerves, two fruitful
causes of nearly all . the aliments to
which mankind is heir. They may be
had of any druggist, or will be sent
postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a,
box, six boxes for $2 50, by the Dr. "Will
lams Medicine Company, Schenectady,
N. Y.
The day will soon
be here and we'll
all be wishing each
other a "Merry
ChristnTas." We've been very
busy this year getting together a
stock of Christmas goods a little
finer and better than ever before.
This is the time we Interest the
