12 " THE MORNING OREGOX1AS. SATURDAY, JUNE 2T, 1903. DON'T BE IN A RUSH Lewis & Clark Fair Will Be Duly Advertised. TOO SOON NOW TO DO MUCH Chairman Fleischner, of Publicity Bureau, Gives Out a. Lively Talk on What He Is and Is Not Doing. "The ewls and Clark Exposition -will be advertised in the manner that will be productive of the best results -when the right time for advertising: comes," said I. JJ. Flelschner, chairman of the press and publicity committee, yesterday. "Until the plan and scope of the Exposition are adopted by the local corporation, and un til Congress passes an act recognizing the Fair and making an appropriation for a Government exhibit, it would be useless "waste to expend much money for publicity puiposes. It is a fact that as yet we have nothing to advertise. The Exposition In its present condition is only a state or local enterprise. It will not become of Na tional Importance until the United States Government gives It recognition and the President Issues his proclamation inviting all nations to participate. When the Gov ernment becomes sponsor for our Exposi tion, the foreign nations will take an in terest and the states of the Union that have made no provision for coming to Portland will begin to stir around. Let It !bo remembered that the heavy work of the Chicago, Buffalo and St. Louis Exposi tions was done after the passage of the act of Congress and the issuance of the President's proclamation. In the case of thd St. Louis Exposition, the appropria tion of the State of Missouri was not defi nitely made until two years after the XTnlted States Government had acted. In Oregon, we do things a little faster than in Missouri, for our Legislature did its duty last January and we cannot reason ably expect to hear from Congress until luact December. What Counties Mny Do. "Pending action by the Government, much gonii work can be done to advertise the resources of the Oregon Country and the possibilities that here exist for settle ment and Industry. This is not properly w'thin the scope of exposition exploita tion, but the committee on press and pub licity will take it up and handle It prop erly since no other organization will give it attention, and since no funds are avail able from other sources for this Im portant purpose. Right now every coun ty In the state ought to be publishing and distributing literature by the million pieces, making known Its resources, its available lands and the opportunities It of fers for building up Industries, and the City of Portland and the County of Mult nomah ought to show the way to every other section of the state. But there la not a move worthy of the name In any di rection, and everj one Is falling back on the Lewis and Clark management and Its slender purse to curry the full burden. "Our committee will, so far as the money at Its command will enable It, ad vertise the country In the period preced ing the opening of the St. Louis exposi tion During the exposition period at St. Louis we shall exploit not only our Ex position, but our country, for the double purpose of attracting vlsltoro to Portland in 1903 and settlers all the time. When the Louisiana Purchase Exposition closes we shall began advertising the Lewis' and Clark Exposition In the states which, in our Judgment, will send us people to see our Fair. A little thought will convince any one how useless It would be to ad wrtlso the Lewis and Clark Fair, which wl'l not open until 1203, prior to the open ing at St. Louis next year of the great est exposition the world has ever known. "We shall have a reasonable amount of money to spend, but none to waste, and it would be waste for Portland to be tell ing now what it Is going to have In 1903, when St. Louis is going to have a bigger show" in 1601. Object of Advertising. More than is above outlined our com mittee on publicity cannot undertake with the funds to be apportioned to us, which in all probability will not exceed 550,000. "W- will advertlfc In such a way that the country will get settlers and the Exposi tion admissions. The work will perhaps not be done In a way that will suit some people, but It will be well done Just the same. To exploit the Exposition the way some people would like to have it done would cost fully $200,000. or about one-half the amount raised from sales of capital stork and about 20 per cent of the esti mated total revenue of the Exposition from all sources. If the committee on publicity had accepted every proposition made to It in the year of Its existence it could have spent $500,000 without trouble, Th woods are full of people who think they know better than our committee how our money should be spent. Talk Is All nosh. "This talk by returning Portlanders and others about the Exposition being un known in the East and abroad is all bosh. It Is only a few months since I came home from a trip to the East and Europe, and while away I had no trouble in finding people who had heard of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. In Germany the Ex position has been brought to the atten tion of the imperial government through favorable notice in a publication that bears the same relation to the government that our Consular reports bear to the United States Government. Through this same medium the Exposition has been made known in official circles in Austria and Switzerland. France has heard of us, likewise England, as Is evidenced by cor respondence received from Paris, London, Liverpool, Birmingham and other cities. 2n the Eastern States, particularly in New York, I found plenty of people who had heard of the Exposition, and .1 also met newspaper men who were willing to give us a write-up. That the East knows about us is proved by the many inquiries received respecting classification of ex hibits and terms for concessions. These are only Just beginning to come in, and there, will be a flood of them when the St, Louis Exposition is out of the way. Near er to home, California, Minnesota, Ari zona, Utah, Idaho. Montana and North Dakota have heard of us to the extent of appropriations aggregating: over $200. 000. British Columbia knows enough of us to recommend a $25,000 appropriation, and the Dominion of Canada is anxious to Join in prior to legislation by the United States Government. Over in Asia Japan has us on her list. Back in Washington the President of the United States has heard enough of us to mako a 3500-mlle Journey to Portland to lay the corner stone of the Lewis and Clark monument. "What They Will Not Find. "Oregonians who so away for a trip should not expect to And the Eastern peo ple standing on street corners and talk ing about Lewis and Clark and tracing on a map the route the explorers followed when they Journeyed to the mouth of the Columbia. Let these well-meaning per sons reflect that there are even in Port land some who know nothing about Lewis and Clark and who, if their lives de pended upon it, could not give a lucid ac count of the beginning: or the ending or the effect of the expedition. Astoria will he entitled to hold a celebration in 1S11 in honor of the 100th anniversary of its settlement, hut I will venture the guess that it would not take a very big book to hold the names of the Portland people who know how Astoria came to be settled or whether the Astorlans came afoot or horseback, by Pullman or caravan or shank's mare, or whether the overland ex pedition was first or fifth to cross the con tinent. You can't measure the Eastern knowledge of the Exposition of 1K6 by the standard that has been set up in Port land In the past two years. "After all, it will be the country, and not the Exposition, that will be the at traction in 1905. If we make the East hear of our country, which is our pur pose. It will hear of the Exposition fast enough, and nobody will have cause to complain. If the croakers will either put up or jshut up. our cup of happiness will be filled." TO VISIT FAIR GROUNDS. Lewis and Clnrk Directors Will Make Inspection Today. The last meeting of the board of di rectors of the Lewis and Clark Fair, to be held prior to the annual meeting of stockholders, and the election of a new hoard, was held -yesterday afternoon. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the members of the board intend to visit the grounds In a body to Investigate the progress of the work. The visit to be paid to the Fair grounds today Is an Informal affair. It Is to be taken at the request of Paul Wesslnger, chairman of the committee on building DOG MAKES FOX TERRIER AT TRUCK 2 LIKES TO LEAP 35 FEET. "Joker." a small fox terrier dog at Truck 2 has the proud distinction of be ing the champion hlgh-dlvlng doe In Portland. He Is the property of "William Castleman. an extra in the Portland flre service, and his peculiar pastime Is Jump ing from the roof of the flre house. The leap Is about 35 feet to the bjanket below, and after he Is taken to the top of the building, one roan has all he can do to prevent Joker from springing "down After the Dlanket Is arranged. "Joker" Is let go. and he immediately Jumps. He thinks the play great sport, and Is -always anxious to try it again. and grounds, who Is anxious that the en tire board should be made familiar with the work that Is being done. His com mittee Is In charge of the distribution of several thousand dollars a month and yes terday obtained an appropriation of $10, 000 for July. He asked the directors, at the time the appropriation was made, to spend two hours this afternoon at the Fair grounds examining the progress of the work. Under the direction of Engineer Huber a force of 100 men is constantly employed at the Fair grounds. Grading has been In progress for a month and a big change has b?en made. The plans adopted by the board along the lines suggested by Consulting Architect J. C. Olmsted are being followed, and the engineer Is pre paring the field for the erection of per manent buildings. The plan of the committee on build ings and grounds Is to rush the prelim inary grading as rapidly as possible, get ting ready for the erection of the Fair buildings some time early next year. Work may have to be started on one or two buildings prior to that time, but the general building campaign will not begin until next year. One of the first acts of the new board of directors of the Fair will be to consult with the members of the state commission and outline general plans for the Fair buildings, or at least to agree upon a plan that will be followed in preparing for the Exposition. If a Lewis and Clark memorial building is to be erected, the two bodies will agree upon the plana and work may be ordered soon. In any event a conference between the two hoards will be made at an early date, and if any action is to he taken soon In the election of a director-general for the Fair, the two bodies will reach an agree ment. The question of a director-general was brought up Informally at yesterday's meeting of the old board. It was merely a suggestion that the question might bo discussed next month, and no effort has. been made by the board as yet to select a director-general for the Exposition. From the sentiments expressed it Is pos sible that the matter may be determined within a few weeks' time. At the annual meeting of stockholders which is to be held on July 6, such persons as have paid the first and second assess ments on their stock will be permitted to vote. No forecast has been made of the outcome of the annual meeting, but it is not likely that anything save the ques tion of the election of a board of directors will be brought up. The new board is verp apt to contain the members of the old organization. One new member, at least, will have to be elected, for the position made vacant by the death of H. W. Corbett has never been filled. There was little done at yesterday's meeting of the board of directors. The meeting was called for the purpose of amending the by-laws so as to permit women other than those who own stock in the Lewis and Clark Corporation to serve on the board of women .managers. This amendment was made without oppo sition. It had been previously agreed that no appointments to this board should be made until after the annual meeting next month and the question of the personnel did not come up. Director W. D. Wheelrlght of the board has left Portland for a three months' trip abroad. MOTHER GRAY'S SWEET POWDERS for children.

OFFSPRING OF A PIONEER KELLY CLAN WILL HOLD ANNUAL REUXIOX TODAY. Descendants of Clinton Kelly Pay Tribute to the Memory of the Rugged Circuit Rider. Clinton Kelly, pioneer of ISIS, whose descendants of - the Kelly Clan will hold their annual reunion today, was a native of Kentucky, and the house in which he was born was visited by Dr. Richmond Kelly and his sis ter, Mrs. Laura Turner, In 1SS2. Hero 93 years ago "Father Kelly" was born and passed his boyhood. Before he started for Oregon he was a circuit rider in Kentucky, and displayed the rugged qual ities of heart and mind which made him a marked man In the early history of Portland. There are Indeed few pioneer residents of Portland living today who do not have a lively remembrance of "Fa ther" Kelly, as he was known. The political agitation In the Eastern states, especially"" In Kentucky, caused him to HIGH DIVE turn his thoughts toward Oregon, and in the Fall of 1S47 he started with his fam ily in wagons. The Kellys spent the "Winter In Independence, Mo., and on the following May L ISIS, twelve wagons started on the westward Journey. After .overcoming the usual hardships and per ils of that trip the party arrived at Tho Dalles, where they met a party on their way to avenge the death of Dr. Whit man. Clinton Kelly went on ahead over the mountains to Oregon City to prepare a place for his family. At that time only three claims had been taken up on the east side of the Willamette River at Portland and heavy timber swept back from the river as far as the eye could reach. Clinton Kelly selected a tract of land out of which have been platted Rich mond, Waverly, Kenllworth, Ravenswood and East Portland Heights, comprising some 640 acres of wooded land. Through the effect of the panic of 1S92 this fine property passed from the ownership of the descendants. The only place left out of the 610 acres is the family burial ground on the Powell Valley road, com prising less than half an acre. The original owner of this tract. Baker, sold it to Clinton Kelly for $50. In 1S50 the latter built the largest log cabin In the settlement. It had two stories and was provided with a basement. It was the most pretentious structure for many miles. When there was an Indian alarm In the direction of Mount Hood, settlers gath ered In this loghouse for refuge. Novem ber, 1G4. the old house was burned, to gether with 6000 bushels of potatoes which were stored In the cellar. Later the pio neer erected a more modern house on the elevated ground on the Powell Valley road. "Father Kelly" became a familiar fig ure in Portland. His great hospitality In the '50s, when many penniless and desti tute emigrants arrived, was widely known. His farm, which lay in a wooded district, had been cleared and .was highly productive. Each day he loaded his wag on with vegetables and drove to market. Part of his load he sold and the rest was given away.. Wherever It was possi ble he relieved want- On his return home In the evening he would pick up some homeless and destitute Immigrant and take him before his own fireside. There were times in the old loghouse that five families were gathered around the glowing fireplace. Xo man ever left his home without having been well fed. While Clinton Kelly was not a mem ber of the Oregon Conference, he main talned appointments at Portland. MI1 waukie, Oregon City, Foster's, Mount Ta bor and other places. When he started out to preach he wore a tall white beaver hat, a Jean overcoat that reached almost to the ground and always carried a hickory cane which he had brought from Kentucky. In 1S49 he was to preach In the first log echoolhouse In Portland, and when with his brother Thomas he arrived at the schoolhouse no one was there. He told his brother to stay while he hunted up a congregation. He was regarded as a very forcible speaker. Judge John F Caples says of him: "I doubt if the next generation will produce such a man. He was the most powerful natural speaker I ever heard, and -he never was afraid to say what he thought. In the later years of his life we were warm personal friends, and I still cherish his memory." Far and near the name of Clinton Kelly was known among the settlements largely for the reason that his home lay in the path by which many Immigrants passed on their way to Portland. The camp-fire In his dooryard was a common occurrence, as many a travel-stained im migrant reached the end of his trip across the continent to the promised land. While Clinton Kelly acquired his education, which was by no means super ficial .nor limited, in the hard school of experience, he believed in schools. As soon as he had completed, his loghouse he set in action a movement that resulted in the opening of the first school on the east side of the Tiver, and In the estab lishment of district No. 2, in conjunction with James B. Stephens and Dr. H. W. Prettyman. This was in the Winter of 1S30 and 1S5L There were seven pupils Inthat school, which was held In a little log shed situated In a clump of bushes about East Twenty-sixth and East Grant streets, .on the Seldom donation land claim. Afterward another and better building was erected near East Eigh teenth and East Tibbetts streets. In 1S60 Clinton Kelly deeded an acre of land for -a public school. It was selected at the corner of East, Twenty-sixth street and the Powell road. Here an ample building was erpcted, which stood until the present modern 12-room building re placed It, The old building stands at one Bide of the school ground.. When the new building was erected It was called the "Clinton Kelly School." The old schoolhouse came Into the possession of the "Helping Hand." a society of little girls, and It was used by It for a ntfm ber of years. It has passed back Into the-hands of the district and is now used to accommodate the overflow from the Clinton Kelly School. He dieo June 19. 1S75. The Oregonian then said editorially of him: "For 4S years he diligently served his God; and after a long life of usefulness, full of sufferings and privations, he has gone to reign with Him." The family name of Kelly Is in no danger of extinction. Members of the clan may be found .all over Oregon. Some are In Washington and others in California. Some have entered the pro fessions with distinction. The posterity of Clinton Kelly has reached the fifth generation, and the" descendants are taught to respect and emulate the virtues of the head of the family. WORKMEN PAID OFF. They Worked Faithfully In Cleaning Up Ueptmer. Ninety-six men who were taken from Portland to Heppner to aid In clearing away the debris which filled the town aft er the flood had passed were paid oft and discharged by the Portland relief com mittee yesterday. An outlay of approx imately $2200 was necessary In order to take care of the wage account. The to tal cost of this work will probably reach $3000, since the Portland committee main tained Its own commissary department, and both fed and lodged its employes. A large amount of provisions was left at the Portland commissary department after the work at Heppner had been con cluded. These were turned over by J. N. Davis, In charge of the work, to the Heppner committees. A portion of the goods, such as could be used again or re mained In unbroken lots, was sold at cost to Heppner merchants, but broken pack ages were devoted to the relief commit tee's work. A few of the Portland workers still re main In Heppner. but none of them is now employed under the direction of the Portland tommlttee. In fact, reports from Heppner indicate that all of the workers have been paid off, even the local organization abandoning its work because It had been practically completed. There Is some difference of opinion as to whether all the work necessary to com plete has been done at Heppner, but It is agreed that all that Portland could well undertake has been done. Some of the cellars are not yet cleared, but this work should devolve upon a local organization. In clearing out the cellars the workers encountered a condition that they had not anticipated. It was believed they were filled with water, but instead it was found mud and debris composed the larg est portion of the matter. If sanitary conditions are to prevail, most of this must be cleared away. Search for Bodies Indefinite. There was Just one detail that the Port land workers did not undertake. Some of the Heppner people asked that the lo cal crew be retained to continue the search for missing bodies. Since this work would Involve an indefinite stay, as many bodies are believed to be hopelessly lost, the Portland men could not consent to the plan. The debris had been cleared away from the town, and the most of the valley was free. If the search for bodies Is to continue. It was felt it should be un der the direction of a Heppner committee, rather than of outsiders, especially as there Is no difference in the cost. There is a certain amount of money available at Portland, and It can either bo spent un der the direction of this committee or the Heppner people. Mr. Davis is thoroughly satisfied with the work of his crew of men, and grati fied that the committee succeeded In gathering such a large force without making any mistakes In Its selection. Ordinarily it would be Impossible to pick out 105 men without finding some shirk ers, but Mr. Davis was able to get good results from all his crew's labors. The Heppner people are as well satisfied as the Portland committee. Some of the men who went to Heppner made good money while they were gone. The committee paid Its workmen $2.50 per day and foremen $1 additional. Some of the men. after they had completed a day's work under the Portland committee, worked "far Into the night on extra Jobs, such as clearing out cellars or removing drifts that had accumulated on private property. Fnnd In 921,002. The work of the relief committee Is well In hand. There has been turned over to the general committee up to date a total of $21,632.05, all but $13.50 of which Is ac tual cash. This small sum Is represented by uncollected subscriptions. The relief committee has not yet received the $2600 in the Fourth of July fund, as that com mittee Is awaiting the final settlement of the fireworks controversy. The Portland committee has either spent or obligated itself to spend about $11,000 In preliminary relief work. This Includes the wage accounts settled yesterday and the funds telegraphed to Heppner and Lexington, as well as supplies forwarded and other expenses Incurred. It Is evi dent now that about $14,000 will be left In the committee's hands toward effecting the permanent relief of the townspeople. It is uncertain, as yet, how this money will be disbursed. Some of the heavy losers at Heppner were protected by bank accounts, and will not desire aid. Others, though possessing some little money, are unable to re-establish them selves, and must have aid. These cases are all to be attended to, but It has not yet been determined whether a Heppner or Portland commission should undertake this work. Portland May Disburse Money. Those people of Heppner who could well attend to restoring the city and assisting in the distribution of the relief funds are busied with their own affairs. All of them are heavy losers by the flood, and while they have contributed their time thus far to the public work they are being com pelled now to turn their attention to their own work and untangle their own affairs. This Ynakes It practically impossible for such men to attend to the distribution of tho relief funds,. It is quite likely, when the local relief committee considers all phases of the question, that it will be found necessary to send a commissioner to Heppner to take charge of the funds on hand. This may be done next week, or the committee may wait until the money from late ben efits is turned In and the accounts can all be closed up. This would mean but a week's delay, for the last benefit sched uled is the sham battle to be given on the Fourth of July. Sale of California Timber. SAN FRANCISCO, June 26. The Gualal mill property.

CHINESE COOK DROWNED Wonir Wiiijc (luons Falls Overboard From Steamer Bailey Gatzert. Wong Wing Quong, a Chinaman, aged 29 years, second cook on the steamer Bailey Gatzert, fell overboard and was drowned yesterday morning, about 8 o'clock. Several saw him flounder help lessly In the water, but were powerless to save him. The steamer was lying at the foot of Alder street. The Chinese cook had been out all night, and had come jback to the boat at 5 o'clock In the morning. After cooking breakfast, he stepped out along the side of the boat. It Is the supposition of his friends that he became dizzy from the sudden contact with the cool morning air and lost his balance. ' He gave a mighty yell as he fell, and the first cook ran out to see his countryman sinking beneath the water. He was so astonished that all he could do was to yell frantical ly. By the time a few deckhands arrived on the scene the body of the Chinaman had disappeared. Hugh Grady was summoned immediate ly, and at 1 o'clock recovered the body about 50 feet from the shore, and almost on a line with Washington. Coroner Fin ley was summoned and took charge of the 'body He said that no inquest would.be held, as there was nothing suspicious about the circumstances of the death. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.

After being away from the old home for years folks some times go back and find some surprising changes. An Ohio lady says: "I learned something valu able about coffee when I went home. I had been sick all the time with heart trouble and headaches and' used a great deal of medicine without getting better. One time I went to my old home on a visit and there found my father and mother using Postum Food Coffee and both feeling so fine and well. "They both begged me to try Postum and I finally did so to please them, and to my great surprise I began to Improve immediately. After using Postum In place of coffee for a short time the heart trouble stopped entirely and did not return except when I tried some coffee while on a visit to a friend's house. Now we use Postum exclusively In our family and husband and the children enjoy the fine drink as much as I do and we are well. "Ttere Is a lady living near us who had heen sick for years, doctoring all tho time and not getting any better. We sold her a package of our Postum and now they use it all the time and she is better than for years before, and says Postum did It all. Her name Is . "I Inclose the names of my father and mother, who arc fine healthy examples of the advantages of using Postum In the place of coffee." All the above names given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Men.
