12- THE MOENING' OREG02SIA2-T, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1903.' DAH9T0 A0VERTI8 State Commission Will Boom Lewis and Clark Fair. WORK TO BE DONE AT ST. LOUI Ulster State 1V1II Hnve Buildings at Doth. Exposition Commissioner Clarence II. Htirtt Visits Portland. Idaho -will advertise the Lwis and Clark Fair at the St Louis Exposition. All the advertising matter issued by the Idaho State Commission will contain a reference to the Centennial celebration to be held in Portland during the year 1K6. This is the first offer by another state to co-operate with Oregon In advertising 'the Lewis and Clark Fair. The offer is so broad that nothing more could be sug gested. The Idaho Commission proposes to issue a handsome souvenir to be dis tributed at the Louisiana Purchase Expo sition. Besides giving a comprehensive statement of Idaho's resources the publi cation will be of great Interest, owing to its profuse illustration. A staff photog rapher is now traveling through the state 'selecting bits of scenery and Interesting views of Idaho life. A portion of this booklet is to be set aside for advertising the Lewis and Clark Centennial. "Wo will allow the directors of the Lew Is & Clark Fair to fill this space them selves," said Clarence B. Hurtt, of Boise, executive Commissioner for the St. Louis and Lewis and Clark Fairs. "There will be no restriction upon the Lewis and Clark Board. We do not care What they say in that portion of the booklet, so long as it advertises the Fair. "In Idaho we believe that our Interests lie with those of Oregon and Washington In bringing people West to visit the Lewis and Clark Fair and to see the country. Wo shall bend our first efforts toward induc ing the people to take an interest in the Northwest and to visit this section of the country. Anything that serves to attract attention to the Northwest will be fa vored by the Commission and our people. "After Eastern settlers. Investors and tourists come to the Coast we will of course work for our own Interests. I am firmly convinced that If we can Induce people to come to the Northwest, Idaho will not fail to get her share of settlers and investors. "Our plan of carrying on the Fair work contemplates the erection of a state build ing at St. .Louis and another at Portland. We have not yet decided upon the char acter of building to be erected at St. Louis, but it will be a comfortable and attractive" headquarters for people from Idaho and visitors who want to learn of the Northwest. A unique design is likely to bo prepared tor the building. "Our state building at Portland will be of a different character, and will serve a greater purpose. In Portland wo expect to be able to do our share of entertaining visitors, and wo will talk Idaho to them all the time. "I have found that the best plan Is to work for the entire Northwest first and localities afterward. Take settlers whom the transcontinental railroads are indue ing to come West. We find that persons who originally intended to settle in Ore gon or Washington find homes In Idaho, In the same way. perhaps, Idaho loses to Oregon. Times have changed since peo pie left one cummunlty with a deilnlto plan of locating elsewhere. Now they look over a wide strip of country and se lect what suits them best Idaho is a good state, and we are getting our share of nowcomors. "The interests of Idaho, Washington and Oregon are Identical. They are similar In many of their resources and their methods of business. In many respects the busi ness matters that pertain to one state af fect the others likewise. T believe that these states should work together for the interest of the entire Northwest "The Idaho State Commission plans to spend its money to make a good showing of our resources. Mining, agriculture and horticulture come first in the list of in dustries that we will exploit but wo In tend to make a liberal display of fores try- In addition we shall maintain an extensive art department This will be of a novel character. We will probably have illumi nated paintings to serve as windows In our state building and photographs show ing every section of the state will bo on view. Though many people do not realize It there is much in Idaho that the artists camera can show to advantage, and this art bureau of ours is likely to attract a great deal of attention. "The last Legislature planned that the St Louis exhibit should be saved for the Lewis and Clark Fair. We Intend to do that but as soon as the St Louis Fair is over we will go to work again collecting new exhibits to supplement our display at Portland. We will make a good showing at both places, and I am In hopes that the success of our work at St Louis will lead to another appropriation for the Lew is and Clark Fair by the Legislature which meets in January. ISOu." SEEK A BETTER ROUTE. Southern Pacific Engineer Make Surveys. Southern Pacific engineers working be low Oregon City are expected to locate a better route for the trains of that com pany to reach the upper plateau of the Willamette Valley from Portland. It is likely before their work is completed that the engineering force will have succeeded in getting away from the crooked and un satisfactory 25 miles of track on the main lino of the system between Wlllsburg and Canby, or New Era. The number of curves on this portion of the line bos frequently been declared to be- unsatis factory, but it has been Impossible for the company to get away from them with out relocating that portion of its' line. This work is now in progress. The part- "of engineers working In the vicinity of Mtiwaukic at present is under tho direction of the San Francisco offi cials of the company. Their presence has given rise to stories that the company proposed to abandon either the west or east side lines into Portland, but this Is merely a speculative version of the work. with no value. The company will main tain both lines, and would be compelled to under almost any circumstances, in order to accommodate the local trade. Whether the Southern Pacific main line will be carried across the Willamette BJver at or near Oswego Is a Question that has not been onicially determined. but It Is one of the possibilities. If the company can locate a better route to tho South by this survey, it will undoubt edly be adopted, for the present line ia certain to be Improved. CAUSE OF LAKGE EAICVIXCS. Northern PncIHc'M Straight Tliree-CentK-a-Mlle Itate Lucrative. Though It has not much connection with the big showing of the earning capacity of the Seattle-Portland division of the North ern Pacific, the action taken by the pas senger department on the first of this year explains in part the big earning ca pacity of this line. The Portland-Seattle line was .placed on a straight 3-cents-per-mlle basis on the first of the year. This action was taken by the passenger officials of the road fol lowing tae appearance of the SeattieTa coma electric line. Ballroad and steamboat men expected the Northern Pacific to inaugurate a bit ter passenger war when the Seattle-Ta- coma electric line was opened, and gen eral surprise was manifested when It was announced that instead of attempting to retain the local passenger traffic, the Mel- len system intended to raise the price of tickets between Tacoma and Seattle, in cidentally tilting rates slightly along the line. The experiment was condemned at the time, but It has been tried long enough now to demonstrate that it was a valua ble move. The report of passenger earn ings for the Portland-Seattle line has also tended to confirm the opinion of the pas senger department that the radical move was in line with good business principles. By insisting upon a straight 3-cent basis for passenger rates on" tho Portland-Seat tle li.-.es, the Northern Pacific has com pelled all competing lines doing business in lis territory to pay an Increased rate for tiie short haul enjoyed by the Mellen line. Incidentally every person living along the Northern Pacific in the territory affected by the ruling effective the first of tne year who has traveled to the Sound has paid a slightly Increased price. At the same time the company has main tained the attitude assumed when it first put the S-cent rates into effect in the Northwest of advocating lower fares. While the big showing of the Portland- Seattle line cannot oe traced entirely to the ruling on the 3-cent rates. It Is appa rent that this action has had a great deal to do with the good reports. Fruit Shipment to lie Lnrge. The fruit shipping season from Southern Oregon has' opened well, and Southern Pa cific officials insist that the year's showing will be unusually favorable. It Is esti mated that at least SO cars of Oregon fruits will be sent during the present year to Eastern cities. Comparatively little of mis traffic will be in peaches, for experi ments have shown that the peaches do not stand the long trip well. Pears and other trails can be shipped by refrigerator car service to better advantage. Good Depots Advertise Road. The Lackawanna Ballroad has taken up the Idea that one of the best advertise ment: for the passenger department Is good depots. All along the line, between Buffalo and New York, the company has laid out flower gardens about its stations and improved the scenic beauties of the stopping places in every possible manner. The grounds at Dover, Washington, Stroudsburg. Delaware "Water Gap, Corn ing and. Elmira are the best examples of the new system. Xcw Furniture Tariff. The O. R. & N. and Northern Pacific fcave announced a joint tariff on furni ture, effective August 17, between Spokane and Portland. The new rates will be 57& cents per ' 100 pounds, shipments to be made In carload lots, with a minimum of 20 000 pounds. Tho rate expires by limita tion on August 3L The two roads granted the rate to move several cars of furniture at Spokane to Portland. Made Ashlstnnt to President. IRfPHIS. Tenn.. Anc. 12. W. W.

By the grace of the British Consul in New York, sailing home to India, with strange tales in his head, is Abdul Khadlr, elephant trainer, who achieved great fame by losing him self In Brooklyn. Dressed in Oriental robes, Abdul came ashore from the Brit ish ship Indramaya, from Singapore to Brooklyn, to buy a package of cigarettes. The British Captain advised him to take little money with him. Abdul had, in a spirit of adventure, shipped on the In dramaya. He obeyed the captain, and, lacking money, nearly died in Brooklyn streets. He lost his bearings, and persons could not understand him. During four days he starved and slept In parks. August 5 ho emerged from a little park adjoining the Kings County Courthouse. He was exhausted. He fell to the pavement and mumbled to passeis by. In despair he kowtowed to a passing automobile. The occupants took him in the automobile to the Department of Charities. There he collapsed. An am bulance surgeon said he was suffering from starvation. He was fed and re moved to the home for aged men, where Abdul refused to associate with the in mates. For days he was taken about the city trying to find a person who could identify or talk to him- In this way the strange party met an officer of the British ship Indrode, who knew Abdul Khadlr In Sin gapore. He talked, and Abdul's story was made known. "While Abdul was wandering his ship had aailed away, but with the aid of the Brit ish Consul the Hon hunter has now start ed on the voyage to his home country. FIGHT BATTLE ON STREET Factions of Slavs In Indiana Town Precipitate u Riot CHICAGO. Aug. 13. More than a scoro of men have been arrested for Inflicting severe injuries on at least half a dozen men In a fierce fight at Whiting, Ind. The trouble was an outgrowth of a factional quarrel between members of the Slavic races, laborers for the Standard Oil Com pany. Warrants for 14 others will bo served today. The riot was the culmination of a se ries of battles, in several of which seri ous injuries were sustained. The police cannot learn tho caus. of the quarrel. They understood It originated in Europe and that the Slavs are fighting for a prin ciple. On one side are Servians, Hun garians and . Croatians. On the other are those designated only by the generic name. Following several battles in saloons and at picnics, a party of Slavs and another of the allied races met yesterday In Schraag avenue, a street dividing the set tlements. Scores engaged in battle and hundreds watched the fight The police made a dozen arrests, and a number of the Servian faction were arrested later on warrants. FIND WEALTH OF LEO.

NOT AFRAID OF OIL Port of Portland Discusses Proposed New District, DOES NOT THINK IT A MENACE Board Declines to Indorse a Remon strance Against the Portsmouth, Location Montgomery Dock Case to Be Taken Up. The Port of Portland Commission held Its regular monthly meeting yesterday, with all the members present except Vice-President Thomas and Commissioner Willis. The most Important business scheduled for the meeting was the opening of bids for supplying the power line to the drydock, but no bids were opened, as none had been received. The electrical companies wanted more time in which to figure on the pro posals, and it was given to them. A large part of the session was devoted to a discussion of the good and bad fea tures of the proposed Peninsula oil dis trict The matter was brought before the board by H. L. Powers, who sold the St Johns drydock site to the Port of Port land. Mr. Powers considered the locating of the oil district at Portsmouth to be a menace to the growing manufacturing in terests at St Johns, and requested that the board take some official action on the matter. He suggested an indorsement of tho remonstrance being circulated by Manager Knapp, of the Peninsula Lumber Company. The suggestion was not very enthusias tically received by the Commissioners. President Adams said he could see no danger In locating the oil district at Ports mouth, or anywhere else. He believed much of the complaint against oil districts was without foundation. President SwI- gert wanted to know if oil poured on the water was a menace to water-front prop erty, to which Captain Spencer replied that so far as he knew oil companies were not In the habit of so disposing of their product The general feeling was that as tho question Is now before tho Council there was no occasion for another branch of the city government taking hold of the subject Consequently no action was taken. A question from Captain Spencer as to the status of the Montgomery dock case brought out an explanation from Attor ney J. C. Flanders, who was present Ac cording to the Supreme Court's decision the Port of Portland "has Jurisdiction over harbor lines. Mr. Montgomery built his dock In accordance with the Government line, but outside of the wharf line estab lished by the Port of Portland. There fore, the port has authority to order that port of the dock removed which extends out Into the channel. Although the man date has been received, no steps can be taken, however, until the decree has been entered here. A .report was read from the board's at torneys on the steps to be taken to perfect the title to the Brazee tract which was recently purchased to enlarge the drydock site, and the lawyers were authorized to proceed and complete the title. The regular monthly bills, as audited. were ordered paid; also .three bills from tho commission s legal advisers, which showed that the disbursements in the suit of Swigert vs. Banfleld amounted to $23, the drydock condemnation suit $95.31 and the Montgomery dock case $2011. 5S. Commissioners Pease and Dziscoll were appointed a committee to go down to the dredge Columbia, at Willow Bar, and in vestlgate the fuel proposition. Major Langfltt has written to the board com plaining of the character of the fuel. The small slabwood, it appears, does not raise sufficient steam to operate the dredge to lt3 fullest capacity. He suggested that cordwood be used while the dredge is en gaged on the Important work down there. The committee will not only Investigate this matter, but will also see where a suit able quality of fuel can be secured on the lower river. Authority was given the board to adver tise for bids for $350,000 worth of drydock bonds, and adjournment was then taken subject to the call of the chairman. nOW OX THE ARROW.

LOSE TRADE FOR WAR ACT Cruitro "Will Retaliate Asralnst Isl and That Helped Rebels. 2sEW YORK, Aug. 13. President Castro, of "Venezuela, It Is reported In this city, is formulating plans to take away the trade of the Islands of Curacao and Trin idad, because of the aid given by them to the recent Insurrection against the Ven ezuelan Government. The British and Dutch Islands live In a great degree on their trade with Venezuela, being ports of reshlpment for American and Euro pean merchandise. This trade, it Is un derstood. President Castro will endeavor to divert to Venezuelan ports. The reshlpment of goods from here Is done because of a lack of facilities to reach some of the small Venezuelan ports direct. This volume of trade requires the use of many warehouses, lighters and trucks, and makes Trinidad and Curacao calling ports for many steamers which otherwise would not stop there. Besides, several thousand laborers are kept em ployed the year round handling the ship ments for Venezuela. The decree, which Is soon expected from President Castro, also will have the ef fect of placing a check on the wholesale smuggling that is now notoriously car ried on between the islands and the small ports of Venezuela. In his administration President Guzman Blanco Issued a decree placing an additional duty of 30 per cent on all goods resbipped at Curacao or Trinidad. These "West Indian islands always have been the headquarters of Venezuelan and Colombian exiles and rebels, while the recently suppressed insurrection was being waged against the Castro regime. filibustering expeditions of men and arms are said to bave been permitted to de part without a word of protest.

John Snowies, a saloon-keeper known to almost every one In Milwaukee as "Judge" Showles, is dead of heart failure. He had conducted a saloon here ror more than 30 years. He never sold a mixed drink, declined to sell more than three drinks to a man. and If he knew a man's family suffered because he frequented Showles place, no price could buy a drink. 'o beer for you, my friend," he would say. "Take your money home to your family. I do not want it; they need it." And he adhered to this rule. Six- o'clock In the evening was his clos ing hour, and when the clock struck 6 his best customer was told that business was over for the day. Another pronounced peculiarity of the "Judge" was his dress, wnlch was of the years before the war. When he walked the streets it was In the dress of the old days of Clay and Webster; flowing coat, wide in the leg, and generous of girth and collar of the big flowing kind seen in tho pictures of early day statesmen. He was well educated, and a Mason of high degree. Nothing is known of his family. BOY ADRIFT IN A BOAT. Naked and Almost Dead "When Res cued, by a. Steamer, NEW YORK, Aug. 13.

Three Questions of Interest to Portland and the Northwest are to be brought up before the October meeting of the Trans continental Passenger Association. Tnese affect the homeseekers, settlers and Lewis and Clark rates. It is expected favor able action will bo taken by the associa tion, since Coast lines are agreed that the effect would be beneficial to the roads and the country alike. The settler rates were discontinued, tem- Tjorarllv last Mav when Eastern crop con ditions demanded the Attention of farmers and put a stop to the movement of Immi grants to the Northwest. The homesecker rates are still In effect and will likely be continued again at the October meeting. General Passenger Agent Charles S. Fee, of the Northern Pacific, who came to Port land last night, believes that all of the rate questions of Interest to tho North west will be settled favorably. Speaking of the matter he said: "I believe that the homesecker and settlers' rates will be taken up at the October meeting of the Transcontinental Passenger Association. The homeseeker rate will undoubtedly be continued. It has proved to be generally satisfactory, and there Is a good movement of this class of travelers. "I do not know that the settler rates will bo put into effect again this Fall, but there Is a probability they will. The best results have been obtained by in troducing the rates in February and al lowing them to run through the Spring. It may be that after crops are in, the settler rates would draw a good travel to tfie Northwest and aid materially In the development of this country. We were of the opinion that the settler rates ought to be quoted again this Fall. I do not know what will be done at the October meeting, but it is certain that immigration to the Northwest is to be encouraged. "With the Northern Pacific the ques tion has been to get enough equipment to handle the passenger traffic. The travel both east and west-bound has been un usually heavy. We expect to get a good share of the returning travel from the G. A. R. convention, but we did not make any effort to secure G. A. R. travel over our line to San Francisco. This was not from any fear that we could not get it or that the work might be hard, but because the travel over the Northern Pacific at present is about as heavy as we can han dle. . "I have no doubt that at the present time if we had a third passenger train be tween Portland and St. Paul wo could find the buslenss for It. But this heavy traffic may not keep up, and It would not be a good business plan to put on another train for the present business. If travel continues to increase as it has in the past. It Is only a question of a year or so when we shall have to put on another train. The present trains are carrying about, all the coaches that can be hauled and make the time they are scheduled to follow. "Trains have been reaching terminal points at or near schedule time. The pres ent schedule of the Northern Pacific trains, while much faster than heretofore will probably be maintained during the Winter. We tightened our schedule for the North Coast Limited this Summer, cutting off six hours from our time. I believe it will be possible to maintain this schedule during the Winter months. In any event there is no intention at present of making any change. "I have no means of knowing, now, whether the figures given relative to the business of the Portland-Seattle line of the Northern Pacific are correct or not, but they are approximately so. The best explanation of the big passenger earn ings of this part of the road is that the people of the Northwest are enjoying a greater measure o fprosperity than those of all other sections of the country. "It Is not an exaggeration to state that the Northwest offers greater Inducements for travel from the East than any other section of the country. It Is a section that attracts the business men, tourists and worklngmen. The opportunities here fbt investment, labor or settlement are great er than anywhere else. This applies to the entire country from Montana to the mouth of the Columbia." Mr. Fee is to remain on the Coast for ten days. He will be In Portland until the middle of next week, leaving, however. for Long Beach Saturday night In order that he may spend Sunday with his fam ily. While In Portland it has been planned that Mr. Fee and other members of his committee shall confer with a committee from the directors of the Lewis and Clark Fair relative to the rates to be granted the Exposition. But of this matter Mr. Fee will not speak at length. 'It would be unfair to discuss that ques tion for there are other men as deeply in terested in the question as myself. The matter will come up before the October meeting of the Transcontinental Passen ger Association and will be acted " upon by the representatives of all the roads west of Chicago. There Is a very friendly feeling manifested by these lines toward tho Lewis and Clark Fair, and I think its interests are safe." Bank Embezzler Rnn Down. NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 13. Edmund J.

Of Apprehension Sudden Death. Twenty Years of Heart Disease. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Cured Me. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure cures heart disease. It has positively no equal in that regard. The fluttering, palpitation and heart pains readily disappear before its magic influence; the shortness of breath, the frightful smother ing spells vanish after a short course of treat ment; the pulse beats become strong and regular, the circulation is improved so that the veins are charged with healthy, pure, life-giving blood carrying strength and health to every nerve and muscle and re placing the dead tissue with solid flesh. "For eighteen years I suffered from heart trouble. The least excitement caused se vere fluttering and palpitation and at night smothering spells would frequently cause me to sit up m bed for breath. Beside the fre quent physical pains I was constantly in an agony or apprehension lest it might bring about my sudden end. I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and experienced almost immediate relief from my former disagree able symptoms. I believe that my cure is permanent because I have not had occasion to use the Heart Cure for six or seven years, which time has elapsed since I quit taking the Heart Cure. As a household remedy I keep Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills in the house all the time. I consider the Dr. Miles Rem edies fully as good as they are recommended to be and I trust that you may live many years for the sake .of humanity." R. T. Hewitt, Chehalis, Wash.
