14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1905. HOLLAND IS READY Sends Fair Commissioner to Arrange Displays. WILL MAKE FINE SHOWING Captain Perk to Establish Holland Headquarters Immediately at Ex position Grounds Is First "Foreign Representative. Captain 3L J. Perk. Commissioner from Holland to the Lewis and Clark Fair, ar rived yesterday and will take up head quarters In the Fair grounds preparatory to establishing the Holland display in the Foreign Exhibits building. He is the first of the foreign staff of exhibits direc tors to arrive. Captain Perk Is an old soldier, former ly in the service of Holland. He was appointed Commissioner to the St. Liouis Exposition and later received a special commission from the home government to the Lewis and Clark Fair. A portion of the Dutch exhibit has al ready been shipped and the rest is being collected in Holland now, and will be sent shortly. The display booth will be one of the most attractive In the build ing, where all the nations will show their arts, sciences and manufactures. The front of it will be a facade, repre senting a street view of the oldest "rat haus." or city hall, in Holland. Within there will be a combination of the oldest and newest Dutch arts. A display of delf and bright, modern tiles will be close to huge old brasses and cop pers, mahogany furniture, black with age, and jewelry centuries old. Dainties, bijouterie, knlcknacks and fancy orna ments will knock elbows with cases of Schiedam schnapps and liquors from Dutch India. All the history of the little country of dikes and drainage canals, including its one-time sea power and its past and present possessions beyond the seas, will be represented In one way or another In the display made by Captain Perk. MAY NOT GET ST. LOUIS BALANCE Lewis and Clark Fair May Suffer by Taft's Recommendation. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 8. The Secretary of War recently sent to Congress a recom mendation that an appropriation of 5100,000 be made to reimburse the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com pany for money expended In connec tion with the Philippine exhibit at St. Louis. This is unfortunate for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, for there is now on hand in the Treasury an unexpended balance of $35,000 of the appropriation made for the Govern ment exhibit at St. Louis, which it is hoped can bo made available for the Government exhibit at Portland. In fact, steps have already been taken to secure it. But if an attempt Is made to get a further appropriation of $100, X for the St. Louis Exposition, Con gress may decide to apply the $35,000 balance towards it. The fact is that, unless the balance on hand is made available ' for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, the Gov ernment exhibit at Portland will suf fer. It became necessary not long ago to increase the allotment for the Phil ippine exhibit from $10,300 to $15,000. In order to do this the allotment for other department exhibits had to be cut down, and It is feared, unless more money can be secured, that the Govern ment will have to omit the mint ex hibit, which was the star attraction in its display at St. Louis, and which promised to be the principal feature of the exhibit at Portland. This is tne most costly of all the exhibits, and It cannot be maintained unless moro money is procured. BIG DISPLAY FROM YAKIMA Famous Agricultural Section Will Show Products of All Sorts. NORTH YAKIMA, Feb. S. (Special.) The fruitgrowers of the Yakima Valley, through the Yakima County Horticultural Union, halve appointed the following com mittee to get up an exhibit for the Lewis and Clark Fair this year; B. F. Barge. Edward Remy and W. L. Wright. This committee will ask the County Commis sioners and the Commercial Club to fur nish the funds to defray the expenses of preparing the exhibit. It Is proposed to get up the best horti cultural exhibit ever sent out of the State of Washington. Every variety of fruit grown In the Yakima Valley will be in the display. Already the committee has bought 50 boxes of fine specimens of ap ples to be placed in cold storage till the opening of the FairK on June 7, when they will be placed In the Yakima exhibit. When the season begins specimen boxes of all the early fruits grown in the valley will be prepared and sent to the Washing ton building on the Fair grounds. Yakima expects to carry oft all the honors this year on a horticultural exhibit. A num ber of gold medals and a silk flag were received at the World's Fair in St. Louis last year, besides a large number of sil ver medals. Then Yakima had the -whole world to compete with, under disadvan tages that will not come up this year at Portland. All kinds of farm products from this valley will also bo In the display. There will be hops, alfalfa, grains of all kinds, potatoes and melons. The fruit will bo specially packed for tho occasion, and all the best-known varieties grown here will be represented. AN EXHIBIT OF TOBACCO. Oregon Growers Will Show How They Grow the Plant. Oregon's latest industry', tobacco-growing, will be represented at the Lewis and Clark Fair. Application was made to Ex hibits Director H. E. Dosch yesterday by E. V. Stensel and W. A. Stenscl. of Amity, for space in which to give a com plete exhibit of how they grow tobacco on their farm, and the various stages through which the leaf goes before it is ready to smoke. The interesting point to this exhibit will be that the Stensel brothers havo made tobacco-raising a success in the Willamotte Valley. Their exhibit will show every stage of the manufacture. It will begin with th.e seed bed, progress through the growing and fertilizing stages, the picking and stripping, curing, sweating, packing and sending through the factory, till it turns out in the form of cigar wrappers or whatever use it may be put to. All tho mysteries of the grow ing will bo explained by this exhibit. the missionaries to tho Western Indians. Miss Kato C. McBeth. who is now a mis sionary among the Nez Perces. and the author of a dictionary in the Nez Perces language, writes from Lapwal, Idaho, that she hopes to have a number of her Christian Indians come to the Fair, and hopes particularly to bring tho handsome grandson of Black Eagle. Arrangements are being made to have the Indians here at tho time- of the unveiling of the statue of Sacajawea. REDSKINS COMING TO THE FAIR Christian Indians Will Be Sent Here From Idaho. Klp-ka-pel-1-kan. grandson to Black Eagle, sometimes known as Speaking Eagle, the Nez Perces Indian who trav eled with Lewis and Clark, will probably visit the Fair. 'Black Eaglo went to St. Louis with Lewis and Clark. According to tho statement of Mrs. Eva Emory Dye, .to his going was due the advent of NEW YORK READY TO BUILD Construction Bids Will Be Opened at an Early Date. Bids for the construction of the New York building at the Fair grounds havo been asked for and will be received until noon Saturday. The plans and specifi cations call for a building which will cost approximately $15,000. The building site is at the extreme east of the grounds, fac ing westward. It will be a large Colonial type of structure, with a rotunda in the center, porticos at each end and will con tain, besides, an exhibition gallery. New York has become famous at former expo sitions for the elaborateness of Its enter tainments, and it is expected that Its building will be popular as a place for social gatherings. To Exploit With Posters. Exploitation of the Lewis and, Clark Voir -will be carried on in Washington. D. C, at the time of the inauguration of President Roosevelt. Colored mil Doaras. advertising the FairT will be placed in conspicuous places, so that the great crowd that will come to witness the in auguration, cannot help seeing the bills. Theodore Hardee, formerly connected with the publicity work of the Fair, will be in Washington at the time and will arrange for the display of the bills. Congress to Be Invited. Invitations will be sent shortly to both houses of Congress, requesting attend ance at the opening exercises of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, June 1. It is ex pected that, according to custom, the House will appoint ten of its members as a committee, and the Senate five, to be present in Portland on the occasion. FRESH AIR PLANT. Progressive Spirit Shown by Large Portland Department Store. As evidence that Portland Is not by any means a "back number," as some of the Coast cities try hard to believe, an apt illustration Is the progressiveness of Rob erts Bros., one of the largest department stores In this city. They have recently had installed In their store a thoroughly up-to-date ventilating plant at a cost of $4000. This plant is designed to furnish enough fresh air to keep the atmosphere of the store as pure as it Is outdoors. The plant was installed by the W. G. Mc pherson Company, and tho requirements Imposed on them were that 700.000 cubic feet of warm fresh air must be forced into the store each hour In such a manner as to cause no cold drafts; that tho air must bo equally distributed throughout, and that the plant should not encroach on valuable floor space. These require ments seem to have been admirably com plied with, and the contrast of the air in this store with that In others of like character is very noticeable. It is straws like tills that show which way the wind blows, and that Portland is more than holding her own with other cities on the Coast in the march of progress. DR. Tnr.T. HAY ACCEPT OFFER Pastor of Presbyterian Church Re ceives Call From East. Rev. Edgar P. Hill, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church In this city, may resign that charge to accept the position of secretary of the Presbyterian board of publication and Sabbath school work, with headquarters In Philadelphia, Pa. He brought up the subject at a meeting of the officials of his church, held last night. In an interview, Dr. Hill stated: "I have been asked. If I would accept charge of the Presbyterian board of education and Sabbath school work, but as yet the matter has not for mally come before me. I leave Monday for the East, and at a conference of those Interested, to be held shortly in Phila delphia, a decision will be arrived at." Dr. Hill also goes East as the special representative of the committee of con gresses and conferences of the Lewis and Clark Exposition to engago speakers who will give addresses and take part in the discussions at those meetings. The gen eral plan is to have religious meetings at the Exposition Sunday afternoons and to have conferences week days. JAMES HOWARD GETS ONE YEAR Police Believe Sentence Light and May File Other Charges. Caught with stolen plunder In his pos session, showing beyond any possible doubt that he was a daring burglar. James Howard was yesterday sentenced to a year In the County Jail by Municipal Judge Hogue. At this action of the court the police say they are astonished. Fur ther information may be filed against the prisoner, to atone for the light sentence imposed, as it is claimed he is the man who has been turning numerous burglar ies, and who operated by hiding under beds and surprising victims when they were in no condition to retaliate. Howard was captured by Patrolmen Courtney and Hirsch early yesterday morning, and when taken to Pollco Head quarters jewelry from the room of C. S. Perkins was found on him. Captain Bai ley immediately made investigation, with the result that soon after tho arrest Per kins called and identified his goods and Howard was charged with larceny. WILL ENTERTAIN VISITORS. Nurses' Association Makes Prelim Inary Plans for Summer Work.
