1 TM5 MORNIKG OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, IS03. BUILDS BIG HOTEL William M. Cook Will Have ' Largest in World j on st. louis fair grounds Millionaire Visits Portland to Inves tigate Erecting Large Structure to Accommodate 1905 Fair Guests. Many but devloua are the "ways by which men attain fame, but William Mode Cook, of New York, Chicago and St. Xouls, who Is at the Portland, has hit upon ono singularly unique and direct. He will build the largest hotel in the world. He may reach even the empyrean rung of fame's ladder and build a big hotel in Portland for the 1905 Fair. That Is the plan which Mr. Cook is at present consid ering, and he will devote a week to exam ining the local situation with that end In view. A short time ago St Louis faced the problem of how to house her "World's Fair crowds next year, even as Portland is now wearing a hunted look and talking In her sleep over a similar dilemma, which is IS months away. Presto! At St. Louis, by the sad, soiled waves of the Missis sippi, there appeared a fairy godfather In the person of Mr. Cook, many times a millionaire. "I will build a hotel which for very size will make the "Waldorf-Astoria and the Ponce de Leon look like the 'Farmer's Rest' at Grlgsby'a Station." He eubsidized an architect and command ed him to draw plans, he asked the World's Fair board for 23 acres with an easement on the heavens, and the tribula tion of St. Louis became her recompense of joy. The greatest .hotel on earth must have a name. Manifestly no ordinary designa tion would bent the mighty tavern. The circus posters have exhausted the vocab ulary of superlatives. Mr. Cook sought counsel, and In the end selected a'nom do advertise which thus far has escaped even the- cigar manufacturers. As if by Inspiration the name, Napoleon Bonaparte, was suggested, and as the Napoleon Bo naparte will the great hotel be known. The "building will be erected within the Fair inclosure, the only private enterprise which will be permitted except the "Mid way" attractions. The construction of It has already begun, and will be completed by the opening of the Exposition. It will cover 14 of the 25 acres of Mr. Cook's con--cession. It will have a frontage of 2500 feet and. a depth of 250 feet There will e 4000 rooms, and If the 'bus comes from the train with an unusualy big load of '"drummers" or "delegates," the manage ment need not get out the cots, for the house will accommodate 7000 guests. If a lodger wishes to entertain a party of his fellows at a whist party in his room .at the extreme end of the hotel, the in vitations must be issued early in the day to those at the other end, for It is a mat ter of a half mile between extremities. The building will -be low and rambling, the latter being its distinguishing feature. Its front will be three stories in height but the larger part of It will be but two. This plan is approved so as to permit guests to escape in case of fire. Every effort will be made to render the mam moth fireproof, however. The first floor will consist of a rotunda, main dining-rooms and private cafes. The principal dining-rooms will be 200x175 feet, and it is presumed that the waiters will be supplied with motor cycles In order to insure prompt service. The private dining-rooms will be arranged especially for the cold-botUe-and-hot-blrd guests. Space has been sacrificed to cozlness, and they will be only 120x48 feet, and should appeal especially to gentlemen desiring to enter tain a few hundred lady acquaintances at nf er-theater suppers. A veranda will run the full 2500 feet of the front and it will require a near-sighted chaperon eight hours to make the tour in search of her debutante charge who ls flirting on a porch settee with a Summer man. Mr. Cook announces that he will make a careful investigation of the situation here, and if he concludes to build a hotel to accommodate the Lewi? and Clark vis itors, will follqw closely the plans of the St Louis structure. ' "You have as fine hotels here as any city needs, but I am convinced that they will be Insufficient to handle the crowds which will come to your Fair. If I be come convinced that such a hotel as I contemplate will be a profitable Invest ment you may be sure I shall build It" Mr. Cook Is the1 owner of a coal tract of 18,000 acres, and has extensive business Interests In New York, Chicago and St Louis. He arrived in the city yesterday from California, and, accompanied by his wife and child, Is a guest at the Portland. SALMON MARKET GLUTTED Xtoiv-Grade Product May Cause Price to Decline. In contrast with the short pack of high grade salmon on this Coast is tho prom ised glut of low-grade fish, such as pinks "and chums. The J. K. Armsby Company, of Chicago, has issued a pamplet saying: ''We see no reason why present prices should advance; on the contrary, every thing points to a decline." The present prices of chums and pinks are about 47 and 50 cents per dozen. These values are low already and discouraging to packers. The owner of a down-river cannery said yesterday that three years ngo he had packed a quantity of chums which had been on his hands ever since. 'Will I pack any more?" he responded. "Not If I know myself. And if conditions ore as bad as in Armsby's, circular. Fall packing on the Columbia River will be knocked higher than a kite." The Armsbys are brokers for the Alas ka Packers' Association. This association Is understood to be bearing the market in pinks and chums in the interest of its Immense pack of reds. Last year the as sociation Ait up over 1,000,000 cases of reds and about 105,000 cases of Inferior grade fish. Owing to the shortage in first-grade, nrices of reds promise to go to high fig ures. An opening price of $1.20 or more would not be surprising as things look now. According to the Armsby circular the total supply, in sight of chums and' pinks Is 1.600,000 cases. "At the present rate of consumption," it says, "this should last at least three or four years. It is the biggest glut of low-grade salmon in the history of the business. The 1,500,000 cases are as follows: Carry-over, 500,000; new pack, 1,000,000. "One of two things must ensue," reads the circular, "to cause an advance; eith er the pack must be out down heavily or consumption must Increase. The fact that Puget Sound this year did not make a large pack of humpback has very little "bearing on the situation. For two years past humpbacks have been practically a failure, and yet other parts of the world produce more low-grade than the con sumptive capacity of the world can take care of. The trade must not forget the fact either that there are at least 500,000 cases, low grade, still on hand in warehouse, at New York, on the Pacific Coast and in the hands of speculators scattered throughout the country. "This 5'ear's pack of humpbacks is 100.000 cases, not nearly so much as we expected. But it is 100,000 cases more than one year ago. There is no reason to expect that Alaska or the Oregon coast will fall off very much, and we think that trade can reasonably expect a pack this year of at least 9000,000 or 1,000,000 cases low-grade salmon. The consumption of Ivx grades is largely confined to the Southern states and the Southwest Nat urally their market is limited, and we can see no reason, after going over all the figures carefully why present prices should advance; on the contrary, every thing points to a decline." The probable output of 1,000,000 cases of low grade this year Is one-fourth larger than the average annual pack. The total in 1SQ3 was S7S.763 cases and in 1901 804,549 cases. UNKNOWN'S BODY FOUND Mystery of Charles Ryan's Disap pearance May Be soivcu. Propped against the bank of Sullivan's Gulch slough was found yesterday morn ing what is believed by many to be the body of Charles A. Ryan, the missing farmer of Marquam, Or. The description tallies In many points, but the body has not yet been positively identified by any of Ryan's acquaintances. Coroner Finley held a post mortem ex amination of the remains yesterday after noon, but no decision could be reached. "With the exception of the hat the body found Yesterday is almost Identical with the description of Ryan, who was last seen in Oregon City Sunday morning, when $110 was known to be In his pocket Though Ryan's friends are on the lookout for any trace of the missing farmer, and notified the police Tuesday evening, yet none of them has appeared at the morgue "Until they do so the Identity of tho body will remain a mystery. As John Smead was passing along the side of Sullivan's Gulch yesterday morn ing at 6 o'clock, he saw the body of a man reclining against the bank. Noticing the peculiar attitude of the body, he made a cursory examination, and left under the belief that the man was drunk. He noti fied District Officer Young, who quickly discovered that it was a corpse that -was propped against the bank. "With his hands tightly clutching the tufts of grass at his side, the unknown man lay against the steep bank with his feet up to the knees in the water of the muddy slough. There were no marks of violence upon the body. From the appear ance of the hillside It seemed probable that the man, In reeling home IntoxT cated, had slipped and fallen down the bank. Landing with his feet In the water, he had died partly from the chill and ex posure and partially from alcoholism. Another theory propounded is that the man was murdered by the use of poison or powerful drugs, and that he was placed in the peculiar position to disarm suspi cion. The greatest setback to this theory is that the hands of the dead man were locked in a death grip upon the tough grasses of the slough bank. 1 District Officer Young believes that he has seen the. dead man about the city at intervals for a long time, but is unable to give his name. No one of exactly the same description as the man found In Sullivan's Gulch' has been reported as missing. Tho body had evidently been on the bank but a few hours, so that death had not preceded the finding of the corpse by many hours. Nothing was found upon the body but a handkerchief and three lead pencil stuba No marks of any description aided in the Identification. The police are puzled at the Ryan dis appearance case. He was known as a man who seldom drank, and then never to excess. When he set a day for his return home he was invariably there on time. "When he did not return at the promised hour last Sunday, his father-in-law, d". Slaughter, of Marquam, went at once to Oregon City. The young man had been seen Sunday morning, and had said that he would have to leave for home In the afternoon. He had placed his horse In the livery stable, but did not return for It He went to Oregon City from his home at Marquam. Clackamas County, four miles from "Wllhoit Springs, for the purpose of paying the last Installment upon his land. This was not paid, and Ryan was known to have at least $110 upon his person when ho disappeared. STRONG FOOTBALL TEAM Columbia University "Will Strive for Local Pennant Tills Season. Columbia University resumed its work for the coming year on Monday, but the classes will bo organized for regular work today. The faculty for the year is com posed of the following: Rev. M. A. Quln lan, C. S. C, evidences- of religion and president; Rev. "William J. Marr, C. S. C. English and Latin: Rev. Patrick J. Car roll. C. S. C., English; Rev. Aloyslus Reldhaar, French, German and Spanish; P. E. Sullivan, L.. L. B., commercial law, bookkeeping, stenography; Arthur G. de Lorlmer, C. E., mathematics; John P. O'Hara, Ph. D., history and economics; Orin A. White, B. S., science and drawing; Joseph P. Kelleher, A. B., Greek; John M. Garvin, M. A., Latin; Ferdinand Caluorl, music President Quinlan said yesterday that he was sure of a 50 per cent Increase in the attendance over last year, and the percentage might be higher. In athletics there Is yet but a prelim inary organization. The university will have a strong football team this year. There will be first and second elevens, so that there will be practice on the home ground or In the big gymnasium. Presi dent Quinlan, who is a great advocate of athletics, does not allow them to interfere with the scholarship of those who are on the teams. He requires the team mem bers to make 5 per cent above the average grade of other students, so that If a stu dent is on one of the football teams It Is a certificate that his scholarship is high. Owing to the Increase In the attendance, President Quinlan said the football team will be much stronger than last year, and It will try to make the record the baseball nine reached. He mentioned the Cronln brothers, of North Dakota, as a new source of strength. James Gleason will also be seen on the team this season. Ben Carmody, however, will be ineligible, as he Is an Instructor. Some important improvements are being made. A convent and infirmary building Is being completed at a cost of about ?S000, for the 13 sisters who will have the care of the kitchen. The big gymnasium also has been made ready. RAIN FALLS IN TORRENTS Kansas City Car Lines Are Tied Up and Business Suspends for n Time. KANSAS CITY, Sept. 9. The heaviest rain storm in the history of Western Mis souri occurred in Kansas City last night and today. "" At noon the storm was over and rain fell In torrents. For a time this afternoon car lines were put out of com mission and business practically suspend ed. In six hours, according to measure ments taken at the office of the -local weather bureau, 4.00 inches of rain fell. The local weather forecaster expects a hlse of more than two feet In both the Kansas and Missouri Rivers by tomorrow morning. In the West bottoms some of the business houses have two feet of water in their basements. In Rosedale, a suburb, water covers the streets two feet, and no cars are being run to that place. The rise brought down a large amount of drift In the Turkey and O. K. Creeks, and for a time It was feared the bridge which carries the flow line across Turkey Creek and which sup plies Kansas City with water would be carried away. CYCLONE UNROOFS JAIL. Oklahoma Downpour Nearly Drowns Over One Hundred Prisoners. GUTHRIE, O. T.. Sept 9. The severe sand storm that has swept over Okla homa for the past week was broken today by the heaviest rainfall of the season. It amounted to almost a cloudburst in this city, and a cyclone passed above the city, too high to do much damage. The roof of the jail here was blown off and the 140 prisoners were nearly drowned by the downpour. Lightning struck several buildings, but the rain quickly extin guished the fires. ONCE BIT, TWICE SHY CITY COUNCIL OK ST. JOHNS ASKED TO VACATE STREETS. Central Lumber Company Secured Similar Concessions in the Past by Promises Not Fulfilled. From the experience the St Johns City Council had in the vacation of streets for the Central Lumber Company, after the CouncIImen had been assured that it would mean employment for from 0 to 100 men, that body will hereafter -require all companies wanting concessions to give a bond that they will carry out their prom ises. This disposition was shown at the meeting of the Council Tuesday night Not that the Council will not encourage enterprise, but It simply takes this method to protect the people. Mayor C. A, Cook presided at this meet ing. A petition was received for vacation of streets for use of Cone Bros., who want to build a sawmill just north of the Douglas sawmill and planer plant The new sawmill will have a cutting capacity of about 50,000 feet of lumber per day. H. L. Powers was present and addressed the Council, urging favorable action on the petition. Jacob Caples, a resident, ad dressed the Council against vacation of streets, which belong, he said, to the peo ple. He called attention to the promises made by the president of the Central Lum ber Company, which erected the electric plant that has proved a complete failure. Mr. Caples said it had been promised that tho company would give employment to a large force of men, but, after securing the vacation of the streets, It had aban doned the enterprise. Mayor Cook inti mated that the Council had been misled. The petition went to the street commit tee. It as considered probable that the pe tition will be granted. Councilman C. D. Hughes; of the street committee, said the petition would be granted, but that a bond would be required as a guaranty that the mill would be built and operated. Mr. Hughes further said: "Unless the streets vacated for the Central Lumber Company are used as promised, I believe they can be restored to the city. Every body here In St Johns knows for what purpose they were vacated, and If the purpose is not carried out we will try to get the streets back. In law, anything obtained under false pretenses can be re stores. Even a note can be shown to be invalid If1 obtained through fraud. The president of the Central Lumber Company made a public declaration before the Coun cil what the streets were wanted for, but they are not being used for that purpose, and I understand the mill Is a failure and will not be run." There was considerable discussion on the advisability of passing an ordinance to prevent cattle from running at large, but no action was taken. There was also dis cussion of the best way to prevent young girls Of about 15 years old coming from Portland to the park and causing a dis turbance. Complaint was made by some water customers that they were being discriminated against J. C. Scott, of the water company, was present, and ex plained the situation. CompletlnK National Parle Survey. By private letter received yesterday from Ormond Rankin, who is with C. R. Caudle, now surveying the National Park of Cra ter Lake, It Is learned that the work will be finished so that the party may reach Portland by September 20. They visited Wizard Island and climbed to the sum mit where they recorded their names In the book left there for the purpose the first to make a record after the book had been left there. Since the party has been in the field It has killed 18 deer, and has taken 80 pictures. The expedition has been one of rare interest and instruction, as well as some hard experiences. The party has had fine weather with hardly an exception while making the survey. Montnvllla May Refnnd Bonds. Clerk A. Elhlers, of Montavilla School District No. 18, has posted notices for an election of the voters today, between 1 and 6 o'clock, to determine whether the district will refund $3000 bonds, now owned by the Syracuse University, which fall due soon. The bonds bear 7 per cent in terest The election is according to tho provisions of the school laws. The district has Issued $11,000 In bonds for the erection of the building. Some of the bonds were refunded at a lower rate of interest It is presumed that If the bonds are refunded the State School Board will be offered the bonds at 5 per cent "Will Attend FunernL The funeral of George Browning, who was kljled Monday at Vancouver In a rail way accident, will be held this forenoon at Amboy, Wash., as soon as the train reaches that place.

Interment will be made In the Oddfellows' cemetery at that place. Funeral of John A. Lencli. The funeral of John A. Leach, who died suddenly at his -home In Sunnyslde Sunday morning, was held yesterday afternoon from his' late home, and also at the Port land Crematorium. A short service was held at the home, while Washington Lodge, No. 46, A. F. & A. M., conducted the services of that order at the crema torium. He was a member of Warren Lodge, No. 53, Indianola, la., and joined Washington Chapter, No. 18, R. A. M.. and Washington Council, No. 3, Royal and Select Masters. There was a large at tendance of the members of these branches of the Masonic order. Repairing: of Bicycle Paths. The bicycle paths on the Portland and Willamette boulevards are being repaired. When this work Is completed all the paths that have been repaired will be regrav eled. The path on Twenty-second street will be covered with cinders, which ore the best material for paths. The cost ot cinders is greater than that of gravel, but they turn water better. Used by leading hospitals the greatest convalescent tonic, Schuster's Malt and Hop Tonic At druggists only. . DOCTOR SAID "Quit "Wrong Food and Eat Grape Nuts." An Illlnolsan who has been through the mill says: "Last Spring I'was so bad with Indigestion I could not digest even soft-cooked eggs and doctor said I must eat predlgested food and prescribed Grape-Nuts. I changed for the better be fore I had used one package, eating It three times a day. "My Improvement on Grape-Nuts fopd was so wonderful that I concluded to use your food drink Postum In place of tea and to make a long story short I have not been without Grape-Nuts and Postum "since and my present health proves my doctor's wisdom in prescribing Grape- inuia. nave goi strong as a norse and well and I owe It all to your delicious food and Postum." Name given by Pos tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. In the making of Grape-Nuts food all the Indigestible starches of the grain are transformed into Post sugar. Every par ticle of Grape-Nuts is digestible In the weakest stomach.
