Baalcrapt Stock Sale. 10 Visiting Germans Off for Yellowstone Park. - STOP AT HOOD RIVER TODAY ToHrists Will Find the Strawberry Season at Its Height Snort Stops Will Be Made at Pendleton, a&d Walla Walla. Members of the German Agricultural So ciety completed all their arrangements yesterday for a Ave days tour through Yellowstone Park, a visit to "which they are looking forward with a great deal of anticipation. Tickets for a party of 43 were secured, and tho travelers have been guaranteed the best of everything during the park trip. Only three stops are to be made between Portland and the entrance to Yellowstone Park. The German scientists will leave this city at 9:20 o'clock this morning and go direct to Hood River. As much time as possible will be spent In the strawberry country, for this Is. a feature of American agricultural development that the visitors have not been shown thus far on their trip. Not alone will growing strawberries be shown, but if possible to do sd jam fac tories and preserving plants will be vis ited by the party. The trip of tho foreign agriculturists is bo well timed that they will reach the Hood River district when the strawberrf season is at its height, and will thus be able to gain the best possible idea of the extent of the industry. From Hood River to Pendleton is a night ride, and the party will arrive in that place just in time for breakfast. It Is planned by the O. R. & N. that a special train shall be run between Pendleton and Spokane for the benefit of the visitors. The only stop contemplated is at Walla Walla, where an hour will be spent in the society of the northwest organizations of German Saengerbunds. The German visitors are usually slow to return to their special trains when the hour for their departure arrives, and the unusual temptation presented by a meet ing with their countrymen alarms rail road men, who fear It will be difficult to make the rest of the schedule. However, a prompt compliance with the Tunning time of the special train is necessary In order that the Yellowstone trip may not be endangered. The Northern Pacific Railroad will not be able to carry out its schedule unless the tourists arrive sit Spokane on the night of June 5, and this fact has already been impressed upon the visitors. As a result it Is expected the usual Relays will be omitted at Walla Walla. Originally It was planned that a visit should be made to beet-sugar farms In the vicinity of Spokane. Tills will probably be impossible, but It is likely time enough will bo found to visit the Pullman Agri cultural College. If such a visit should be paid, it will have to be brief. President Child, of the Yellowstone Park Association, will superintend the park trip himself. He is thoroughly familiar with the conditions in the park, and able to direct the attention of visitors to all the sights that should be seen. Already the Northern Pacific has aroused a great deal of curiosity regarding the park trip by ex hibiting colored photographs of scenery, and the tourists, always eager to obtain views, have sought for reproductions to forward to Germany. It is not generally lenown. but most of the Alms of the kodakers. when filled, are sent to Germany to be developed. When time presents Itself, many of them have their films developed at the first stopping place, but these occasions are exceedingly rare. So the express carries away nu merous films for Germany, though the ko daks, as a rule, are of America) manu facture. With but 'two hours in New York, the amateur photographers put in their time buying kodak supplies. The Northern Pacific was unable to show much of Its country, but the officials of that line have made up for this deficiency by putting a mass of literature aboard the visitors' cars. Every point along the Northern Pacific is shown in the literature provided, and as the printed matter Is all sent to Germany, this is about as ef fective a method of advertising a bit of territory as could be devised. The visitors were driven about Portland yesterday In two carriages, dust prevent ing a street-car ride. All parts of Port land were visited in the morning, and in the afternoon a trip to Ladd's dairy farm was made. Speaking for his companions, Herr von Fluegge expressed himself as delighted with Portland. BOOTH DEAD FOR YEARS. Story of Recent Dentine of Lincoln's Slayer Ik Without Fonndation. BALTIMORE. June 3.

MODEL OF FAIR GROUND IT WILL CHANGE AS WORK MAKES PROGRESS. Novel Method of Sho-rrlnp; What Done Photographs Wnntcd for President's Souvenir. The model prepared under the direction of Engineer Oskar Huber, which shows the contour of the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds, has been placed in position at the headquarters of the Exposition This model shows the contour of the grounds as they exist at present, and Is to be changed as rapidly as the work of grading and preparing them for the Exposition progresses. Mr. Huber himself directed the work of preparing this model, for he has studied the art of modeling. When the surveys were made of the grounds the elevations of different quar ters were carefully noted. Subsequently the engineer noted these in preparing his model of the ground. For the first model pins were set upon the scale of 50 feet per inch, denoting the height of different sec tions. Clay was filled in to the tops of the pins, which denoted the ground levels of the Exposition site. On top of this was poured plaster of paris, and after it had set the mold -was taken off. The work of obtaining a model of the ground was thus made easy. The original model was covered with oils, so as to make the finished product easy to remove from its casing, and then the plaster of paris was poured in upon the obverse model and the finished prod uct was obtained. It is intended to paint the model so as to show that portion covered by trees or grass and the small lakes and bridges which are to be seen upon the Exposi tion grounds. As the grading continues, the engineer ing department will show the progress of the work upon the model. At any time, under this plan, it will be possible for a visitor to obtain a correct idea of the conditions at the site and to understand with very little explaining what is con templated by the directors. Grading has been commenced and ;wlh be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. The plateau upon which the buildings are to be erected will probably be cleared off first, and then the remain der of the grounds will be made to con form with the Olmsted plans. At present the model presents a very rugged appearance. But as the grading progresses, the top of the plateau will be leveled, the different roads, walks and plazas shown and other changes made which will indicate the character of the Exposition. As building progresses, this, too. will" be indicated, the buildings being indicated by plaster-of -paris casts. The model for the Exposition grounds was prepared In sections and removed to the headquarters of the company. At that place it was cemented together and re mounted in the model-room, where It will stand till the headquarters are removed to the Administration building at tho grounds. The press and publicity committee found one of its plans checked yesterday by a number of poor photographs. It has been planned all along that the committee shall issue a handsome souvenir of the Presi dent's visit. This will be forwarded to the SJIf 'La"i ! Intended to convey an Idea of the recep tion at Portland, together with an Indica tion of the character of the Lewis and Clark Fair. The souvenirs will be of a highly artistic character. It has been discovered that some of the photographers who were commissioned to secure views of the ceremonies at the City Park and the parade returned poor proofs. Few of them could be used. As a result the committee has been compelled to depend upon the views taken by ama teurs. It- is well understood that a large number of kodakers secured excellent views of the parade and Its attendant features, which would' serve well as Illus trations. The press and publicity commit tee will pay for such views as may be re quired, and has issued a general invitation to amateur photographers to submit their selections. Officials of the Fair are delighted with the, work ol the women's clubs of the western part of the state, who urged the Fair upon the German Agricultural Soci ety's delegates. At every' stop the Lewis and Clark Women's Clubs were active in arranging for the receptions, and donated bouquets of flowers for each member of the party, and decorated the cars used. This work was followed by the submission of literature, and from every section something appertaining to the Exposition was given. , The German visitors have treasured all literature presented to them, and this will be forwarded immediately to ' Germany. As a result there will be a large amount of printed matter relative to the Lewls and Clark Fair on hand when the dele gates -get home, and all of this will be studied. Indirect Slap at Union Labor.

John McCraken, Ben Selling and Alfred Tucker, as members of the Port of Port- I land Commission, was argued and sub mitted before Judges Frazer, George and i Sears yesterday In the State Circuit ; Court.

Couch Flanders, attorney for the old board, argued that the title of the act of 1903 does not amend the act of 1901. and that It cannot be told specifically from the title , what act It does amend. The act of 1901.' he contended. Is not men! tioned In the title of the act of 1903, al though the act of 1S99 is referred to. The attorney argued that the act of 1901 re pealed the act of 1899, and, if the act of 1903 is inoperative, the law of 1901 remains REPRESENTS UNITED STATES AGRICULTURAL DEPART MENT ON TOUR OF VISITING GERMANS.

Carey, addressing the court in behalf of Driscoll, Adams, Swlgert, Pease, Spencer, Willis and Thomas, com prising the new board, asserted that there Is nothing In the contention of Mr. Flanders. He called attention to the fact that the title of the act of 1903 is in the exact language of the act of 1901, amend ing and repealing the act of 1SS9, and the title of the act of 1903 amended sections 25 and 2S of the 1901 act. It could not be construed otherwise. There were no such sections in the act of 1S99. and the act of 1S99 was not in force, having been re pealed. Mr. Carey said the only fault with the title of the 1903 law was that the quotation marks had been omitted, that is not properly placed by the Illiterate typewriter who handled it, but omission of quotation marks was not important, and not to be taken into consideration by a court In Interpreting a law. The inew act was plain, and the eectlons as amended were published in full. The arguments on both sides were brief. District Attorney John Manning and P.

Flatly Contradicts Statement of Chief Hunt That He Failed to Recognize Pickpocket. PORTLAND, June 3. (To the Editor.) I have just noticed in The Oregonian of Friday, May 29, 1903, an interview with the Chief of Police, in which he, speak ing of the arrest on March 27 of Fred Russell for pocket-picking, says: "He was confronted with the man who lost the money and was not recognized by him, consequently was discharged." As It was on my information to the police that Russell was arrested, and as I positively identified him, both before his arrest and after his arrival at the police station. I think it was due me to make this explana tion: On March 27 my wife's father, R. C. Miller, who is quite old and very lame, with his daughter, arrived on the South ern Paciflc train and got off at East Mor rison street, where I met them. We started to board a car, and while doing so the actions of three men who were pushing every one around attracted my attention, so that I watched them closely. On getting home, our conversation turned to this Incident, and pocket-picking being mentioned, Mr. Miller felt in his pockets and said his purse was missing. I Immediately reported the loss to the police station, with a description of the leader in the scuffle -at the car. I was asked if I could identify the man, and if I would come over if necessary. The de tective to whom I was talking informed me he had seen a similar performance on another car and recognized it as a pick pocket trick. In a short time I was called to come at once, as they located a suspect. I did so, and positively identified him before the arrest. After a second identification at the City Jail, I asked what they wanted me to'do. The detectives said "bring your sister (Miss Miller) to morrow, and if she can identify him also, we will have a good case." The next morning (Sunday) we went to the police station, but met one of the detectives outside, who told us it would not be necessary at this time to Identify him lurther, but he would send for us when needed. We dropped the matter at that, supposing the police would file the charges. On Tuesday afternoon I was told that the money had been re turned, and to call at the police station for it. Arriving there, I was told to call on Russell's attorney for the money, and did so. He informed me that on Monday- morning he had paid the money ($23.75) to the Chief of Detectives, and in a few L hours it was returned by him with the remarK mat ine "tjniei woum not atiow a felony compromised, and that he had returned the money to his client. The police authorities, of which Mr. Hunt Is .the nominal chief, held Russell from Saturday night until Tuesday morn ing without bringing &Im to trial, nor was the District Attorney informed ox the facts in the case until the following Fri day, when I Informed him of them. Although they (the police) well knew where I was, they did not inform me about the money being- returned until 36 hours after the offer was made, and half a day had elapsed since Russell had been released.
