Centennial Exposition to the Great Pathfinders, Lewis and Clark.

"Washington, Nov.
Correspondence.) In
for a liberal appropriation for the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, the Oregon' dele-
gatlon will have no more loyal support that an amendment to the Constitution
than that which Is pledged by the Sena- was required. He acted upon that sup
tors from the State of Washington. Like I position. Mr. Madison was Secretary of
the people of that state. Senators Foster
and Ankeny believe that the entire Pa
cific Coast will share In the benefits of
such an exposition, and for this reason
they are willing to work hand-ln-hand
with the Oregon delegation, which must,
of necessity; take tho Initiative In this
great undertaking.
Two of the most impressive addresses
made at Senator Mitchell's recent dinner
were those by Senator Foster and by
Senator Ankeny.
The latter's speech follows:
"Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen:- It
affords me especial pleasure tonight to
be present with you to participate in this
greeting to Senator Fulton, of our sis
ter State of Oegon. and further, in view
of the fact that for the year 1905 the
City of Portland is planning a great Cen
tennial Exposition to commemorate the
wonderful expedition of Lewis and Clark,
I extend to the State of Oregon my con
gratulations that she Is so ably repre
sented In the National Congress. Con
gressional aid will be asked, and I trust
it will be granted, not merely for the
benefit of the great City of Portland, but
In the Interests of the entire Pacific
Northwest in fact, the whole Pacific
Coast.

Influence of the United States Will
Probably Exceed That of the
New Republic.
Brooklyn Eagle.
When the new canal treaty with Pan
ama is ratified," Uncle Sam will add a few
more acres to his already vast posses
sions. In addition to the ownership of
the waterway that will mean so much to
the commerce of the world, the United
States will have undisputed possession of
five miles of land on either side of the big
ditch, with powers and rights "as if it
were the sovereign of the territory within
said lands and waters."
In addition, the United States will have
control of three marine leagues at each
terminal, all islands within the limits of
the zone, and four small islands in the
Bay of Panama. The length of the canal
Is about 47 miles, and thus 470 more miles
of land are acquired by the United States,
without counting the area of the Islands.
Beside this the new republic grants to
tho United States the use of all the riv
ers, streams and waters for navigation,
or so far as is necessary to the construc
tion of the canal and its auxiliaries, in
cluding purposes of sanitation and a mo
nopoly In perpetuity of any system of
communication across its territory by
canal or by railroad.
While the Integrity of the new republic
is assured by the United States, it will be
seen that this country, having control of
the canal, which is the most valuable
asset of the republic, tho zone of five
miles on each side and the property at
each terminal, probably will exercise more
Influence in the newest of states than its
own government. Panama will have no
occasion to maintain any army or navy,
except perhaps a few small steamers and
a few men for police and revenue pur
poses. The protection undertaken by the
United States means that the republic
will require no force as a protection
against foreign Invasion.
Trade Advantages With Panama.
But it is not alone in tho matter of
physical control that the United States
will gain material advantages. The isth
mians, with their regard for this country
as their protector, naturally will look to
us for most of their supplies. The United,
States already furnishes a larger share
than any other country, and when the
canal is built larger Imports to Panama
will follow. The Importations at the port
of Colon during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1903, as shown by the report of
the United States Consul, amounted to
5952.6S4, of which $614,179 was from the
United States. 5119.0S6 from Franco, $11S,
G32 from England, $76,3S6 from Germany.
Tho figures of tho fiscal year 1903 show
a considerable Increase over those of 1902,
In which the value of the Imports at Colon
was $776,345. Of the $614,179 Imports from
tho United States at Colon In 1S93, $200,744
was dry goods. $1S9,333 provisions. S59.S90

United States in 1903 exceeded those of 1902
by about $160,000. The exports to the
United States from Colon In 1903 amounted
to $173,370, of which $75,432 was bananas,
$54,960 cocoanuts, $12,742 turtle shells, $9400
Ivory nuts, $6460 hides and $5294 coffee.
From tho port of Panama the exports to

rate of exchange having averaged during

300,000 People In Panama.
Panama has a population of about 300,
000. Its area is 31,571 square miles, or
about the same as the State of Indiana.
The territory extends east and west about
60 miles measured in a straight line.
Most of Panama Is uninhabited except by
scattering bands of Indians, but there are
Borne small areas of treeless upland coun

the City of Panama, where a considerable
number of settlements are found and agri

the general idea that new states might

Panama Founded in 1519.
The principal ports are the City of Pan
ama on the Pacific Coast and Colon on
the Atlantic Coast. Panama has a popu
lation of 25,000, and Is one of the oldest
settlements on the continent, having been
founded in 1519. only 27 years after tho
first voyage of Columbus. Colon has now
a population of 3500.
In the natural course of events both
these cities, which are at the terminals
of the projected canal, will experience in
the next few years a remarkable growth
in population and Importance.
Panama Is connected with San Fran
cisco by a weekly steamer schedule, op
erated by the Pacific Mall Steamship
Company, and with Valparaiso by a week
ly steamer schedule operated by the Pa
cific Steam Navigation Company. Two
passenger and two freight trains leave
Panama dally for Colon, and Colon daily
for Panama. The time for passenger
trains over the 47 miles ol railway Is
three hours.
From Panama there is ono cable line
north to American ports and one to the
south. The actual time consumed In com
municating with the United States and
receiving an answer Is stated by the Con
sul to be usually about four hours. There
are also cable .lines from Colon to the
United States and Europe.
Natives of Mixed Race.
The native inhabitants of Panama are
of mixed race, the South American Indian
and Spanish blood predominating. There
is also a strong infusion of negro blood,
but the physical characteristics are those
of the Indian and the Spaniard, straight
hair, high cheek bones, black eyes and
a deep olive complexion.
Since the abolition of slavery in Ja
maica a large number of blacks and mu
lattos have settled on the Isthmus, as
small dealers and farmers, and these
blacks are In the majority In some vil
lages. But It is unfair to speak of them
as the native population. There are, In
some of the villages in the Western prov
inces, types of almost pure natives, as
found by the original Spaniards who set
tled there.
Panama, taken as a whole. Is an un
healthy country. It Is periodically visited
by epidemics of the deadly fever of the
tropics, and only those who have become
immune are proof against It.
There Is plenty of good water In the
mountain streams, but no village or city
has a water supply. There Is no sewer
age system.
The women wash soiled clothes In the
streams, and the people get their water
from the same streams. Nearly every dis
ease may oe iouna mere,

"About 60 years ago Senator McDuf
fee, of South Carolina, declared in the
United States Senate that 'Oregon was
worthless for agricultural purposes,' and
said, further: 'I would not give a pinch
of snuff for the whole territory. I wish
to God we did not own it. I wish It
was an Impassable barrier to secure us
against the intrusion of others.'
"We men who live In the then terri
tory of Oregonj from which Washington
was created, know how vastly mistaken
was this old gentleman from the South.
But, on the other hand, even we who havo
lived there for so many years and havo
made extensive Journeys over the Pacific
slope, do not fully realize the mistaken
impression that prevailed In many quar
ters at that period of our history relative
to the Far West. But when we turn to
the reports on population, products, ag
ricultural, mining, timber and our com
mercial status, we must confess vast
strides have been made in the upbuild
ing of the Pacific Coast In tho last cen
tury. "I could proceed to the citation of fig
ures of our greatness, of our growth,
of our population and of our manifold
i industries. It is all of record, and It is
or our bank deposits, and of our general
credit, but, Mr. Toastmaster, that is
known in a general way.
"What we want the people of tho
United States and of the world to do Is
to see with their own eyes tho truth of
our word-pictures. To give, them that
opportunity, tho City of Portland proposes
a great Centennial Exposition in honor
of the memory of those dauntless path
finders. Captains Lewis and Clark. Their
names are ever held sacred by the people
of the Pacific Northwest and linked with
our history- Their route Is pointed out
to our children. Personally, I traced It
for hundreds of miles with on old In
dian who was a boy when Lewis and
Clark passed through his- Idaho home.
He had In his possession one of the Jef
ferson medals given him by Captain
Lewis. At the home of my friend, Sen
ator Fulton, there still stands the re
mains of the old salt works of Lewis
and Clark, and there Is not a man, woman
or child in his home town of Astoria
but knows the history of this great ex
pedition. "It is meet and right, therefore, Mr.
Toastmaster, that we of the Pacific
Northwest should mark the centennial
by an Exposition of the wonders of tho
surrounding country, a country which In
less than 100 years has grown beyond Ujo
expectation of man a coimtry which
combines in Itself all the elements of
greatness, of happiness and of prosperity,
of churches, schools and refinement. And,
speaking for my own great State of
Washington, I may say we are equally
interested with Oregon. We are still
hand-in-hand loyal to our great Pa
cific Northwest."

Society, said that wlti sanitary control
and discipline exercised by the United
States the greatest difficulties that havo
hitherto beset the Isthmus would be re

ble that In time this region, which has
been r&garded as one of the world's pest
holes, might become a favorite "Winter re

from Panama, In discussing the people of
the country, said:
"They are not a bad people, only they
are like a lot of cattle, impulsive, rattle

that are given to them. They have been
the objects of great misunderstanding.
In the first Instance they have not what
Americans demand personal liberty. The
laws that guaranteed to them personal
liberty are apt to bo repealed at any mo
ment, and they are powerless to protest.
Tho great mass of tho population Is Ig
norant, as a rule, and is controlled, body
and soul, by a padrone system. These
leaders or padrones absolutely control
the country."
Large Part of the Canal Completed.
When asked what he know about the
canal he said:
"A large part of It Is now complete and
the completed part has remained in re
markably good preservation since the
close of the work, 15 years ago. It Is 47
miles across the Isthmus from Colon to
Panama, and the'completed canal will bo'
Just about that length. The great ditch
has been finished for about 18 miles In
land from Colon, and is a broad and im

of 18 feet It has also been finished for
several miles In from Panama on the
Pacific. Great progress has also been
made In cutting down tho 'hills for its
passage across the divide.
Something of Colombia and Its People
Panama has always'been a loosely con
nected part of Colombia. In writing of
the people of Colombia, Walter Williams,
a well-known English traveler and writer
says: '
"The United States of Colombia, includ
ing the Isthmus of Panama, havo an
area of 513,935 square miles greater
than France, Spain and Great Britain put
together which is sparsely populated by
4,000,000 Inhabitants, over 2,000,000 of whom
are uncivilized Indians, who live In the
vast forests In the interior, which havo
never been explored by white men.
"One-third of the remainder of the pop
ulation aro whites, and the rest half
breeds and negroes.
"The people, like most South Ameri
cans, are Intensely lazy, and would sooner
talk and smoke cigarettes for a week
than do one hour's work. They are very

CHICAGO, Dec. 1Attorncy Brodo
Davis, counsel for the aJdermanlc "graft"
investigating committee, has received
nearly 100 letters threatening his life since
he began the campaign against gamblers
and violators of the saloon ordinances
Tho fact, which has been concealed caro
fully by Mr. Davis himself, became known
when he was advised' by his friends to
guard against attack. Tho committee and
its coworkers havo had many disappoint
ments, but It was admitted last night
that the prospect for far-reaching dis
closures was better than at any time.
Pain In the side nearly always comes

FACTORY FOR CRACKERS
STANDARD BISCUIT COMPANY TO
BUILD IN PORTLAND."
Saving of Freight Charges In Wheat
and Finished Product
Will Be Effected.
J -
Phil I. Jacoby, president of the Stand
ard Biscuit Company, of San Francisco,
.says his company will build a cracker
factory in Portland. Mr. Jacoby is not
prepared to say where it will be located
or when work on It will begin, but In
ferred that the plant would be in oper
ation some time in the coming year.
"Wo will build a factory In Portland
with a dally output of 10,000 pounds,"
said Mr. Jacoby yesterday. "We con
sider thl3 point the best for the location
of a factory for several reasons. In
the first place, alt the flour we use Is
ground from wheat raised In Eastern
Oregon and Washington. At present wo
aro paying freight on this flour shipped
from Portland to San Francisco and pay
ing freight again on the crackers and
boxes shipped back from San Francisco
to Portland. By making the crackers here
all this extra expense will bo saved.
Another Item, and not a small one,' will
be the difference In the cost of manufac
ture, as union labor must be employed
at San Francisco, bul not here."
Mr. Jacoby says there will bo no cracker
war. Tho companies In the price agree
ment aro working harmoniously and they
do not fear tho cutting by small out
side concerns.
The Portland men who are going to
build a cracker factory at East Third
and East Davis streets havo not yet In
corporated their company, but expect to
do so this month. In the meantime, work
on tho excavation for the factory is pro
gressing. WTT.KrTn THE SLOT MACHINES
Two Clever Manipulators Profit by
t Their Knowledge.
By a hard backward push on the lever
two men with an Intimate knowledge of
the "Innards" of a money slot machine
have been systematically helping them
selves to the contents of several machines
In saloons.. When the color they are
playing nears the pointer, a slam on
the handle does the rest.
So tho company which controls most
of the slot machines of the city has been
busy warning all proprietors of saloons
against theso sharp individuals.
.5 0D on-ldert street, be-
tween xnira ana Jtourtn streets, was
"done" to the tune of $35 in this way.
The men dropped Into the saloon, played
only the $10 slot In the machine and came

THE MAYOR OF NEW SMYRNA,
FLORIDA, .
WRITES A LETTER TO THE
HOME OF VINOL.
Woodard, Clarke &. Co. Publish It to
Show How the Fame of Their
Vlnol Is Spreading.
"We have continually been publishing
facts about the great good Vlnol has
been doing right here In town," explained
Mr. Woodard, of Woodard, Clarke & Co.,
our well-known druggists, "and it is with
pride we are permitted to publish here
with a letter from a far-off city, show
ing' that the unquestionable merit of Vlnol
is being recognized In all parts of the
country. The Hon. C. G. Hesse, Mayor of
New Smyrna, Fla., writes:
"It must afford you great satisfaction
to know that you have succeeded in plac
ing before the people a cod liver oil prep
aration of such high merit and great cura
tive power as Vlnol. I know of nothing
superior in cases of throat and lung
troubles, and to build up the system, after
wasting dseases.
"Vlnol invigorates the system, heals dis
ease. Induces appetite and helps assimi
late the food. In fact, it assists nature
to perform her duties without friction,
and this always means good health.
"I am satisfied Vlnol's marvellous re
building power is derived from the valu
able curative medicinal elements found in

HON. C. G. HESSE.
the cod liver, which by your admirable
method you are able to administer with
out a drop of oil or any disagreeable
feature.
"Such a high-clas3 preparation, which
than It claims, has my hearty indorse-
ment."
Such testimony as this is valuable be
cause it is genuine. Such a man as the
Hon. Mr. Hesse would not go out of his
way to voluntarily recommend Vlnol un
less he knew it was worthy. This seems
to back up what we have been claiming
so long for Vlnol, and Is published for
that purpose.
There Is not a shadow of doubt about
Vlnol being the greatest preparation of
cod liver oil ever sold to the American
public, pnd therefore It must be the great
est tonic reconstructor known to medi
cine. "In the strongest manner we unhesi
tatingly Indorse and guarantee Vlnol to
Increase the appetite, cure stomach
troubles, give strength and renewed vi
tality to the aged, build up the run down,
tired and debilitated, make the weak
strong, cure chronic coughs, colds and
build up the convalescent, or will return

It" Woodard, Clarke &. Co., Druggists.
