CZAH PEARS TO SHOW HIMSELF Great Military Spectacle Spoiled by Dread of Terrorists. ST. PETERSBURG, April 7. The an nual parade of the Horse Guards, al ways heretofore one of the most spec tacular military ceremonies as well as social functions of the year, was chief ly notable today by the .absence oX. Emperor Nicholas and tho imperial family. The Horse Guards is the Em4 lrrrir"4 nwn rpp-lmnnf and nin'nr fnTnra has he failed to attend Its annual pa rade. With the Empress, DoWaser Em press and the entire court, the Em peror icmained at Tsarskoe-Selo. The only Grand Dukes who ventured out of tneir palaces Tver Nicholas, Boris and Alexander Mlchaelovltch, the first named representing1 the Emperor. Even Grand Duke Vladimir, commander of the military district, was not present, the explanation being: that ho was de tained at the palace on account of sick ness. The danger to the Imperial family was regarded as especially grreat to day, as it happened that this was the festival of the Immaculate Concep tion, one of the strictest religious aoll days. All business was suspended. The en tire population was in the streets, and the fear of an untoward incident in view of the activity of the terrorists Induced extraordinary precautions. Mounted gendarmes were stationed at the bridges and in the streets leading to the barracks of the regiment on the Horse Guards boulevard to keep back the rougher element, and ordi nary spectators wero not allowed to approach within a block. The parade, instead of taking place in tho usual open space before the barracks, took place within the riding school, being in every way a purely perfunctory af fair, few foreign representatives and members of society being present. After tho trooping of the colors, the regiment marched to the Church of the Ascension adjoining the barracks, where religious services were beld. The area around the church was filled witii solid phalanxes of Cuirassiers and Chevalier Guards, who later greeted Grand Duke Nicholas as he emerged from the portal with the "hurrahs" al ways given to members of the Imperial family. The public had only a glimpse of the representative of the ruling dy nasty, and no echoing cheers came from the crowd. The ceremony of trooping the colors was also carried out in tho square of the "Winter Palace by the troops on duty there. The police made a num ber of arrests, but both military dis plays happily passed off without dis turbances. EVEN CEMETERIES NOT EXEMPT Police Search Them for Rebel Senti ments Hunger Exnausts Charity. ST. PETERSBURG. April 7. The ef forts of the police to smother the political agitation have led them to invade the cemeteries in their search for evidence of treason. It has become the practice of students to place on the graves of comrades who were active or who suf fered in the cause of freedom wreaths bound with ribbons, on which political sentiments are inscribed. The police now make nocturnal visits to the cemeteries In search of these trea sonable mottoes, which are promptly con fiscated. But, being ignorant, the police men make curious mistakes. The other day a harmless Inscription in Greek, sim ply expressive of sympathy, was seized, and on Wednesday a red ribbon attached to a wreath, which, although on the gra'e of a well-known official, being in terpreted by the police as a revolutionary emblem, was not only cut off, but created so much alarm that a general order was sdnt to all vendors of mortuary wreaths prohibiting the sale of red ribbons. The stories of sufferings on the part of widows, wives and families of soldiers are attracting general attention, and the pub lic demands government aid for the suf ferers. The local charities are no longer able to cope with the situation. In many places the funds raised for this purpose are entirely exhausted, and the provincial papers are filled with pathetic accounts of starving mothers and children being in the ' streets. At Nijnl Novgorod the palace of the Governor, was besieged by a.crowd of hungry women with babes in their arms, asking for- bread. The Governor informed the women that ho would appoint a com mittee to investigate the situation. His reply, aroused .the ire of the local press. The VIedomosti said: "Always the eternal commission; while it Is Investigating, the women .and chil dren will starve." M. Pobedonostseffs position, that of Procurator-General of the Holy Synod, will be abolished If the patriarchate is re established, and Antonius, the metropoli tan of St. Petersburg, as the highest archbishop, will become patriarch. Under the new press regulations, the papers are not permitted to publish any thing regarding the Emperor and the imperial family without the consent of the court censor. The imperial chancellory has formally requested the Kobeko com mission, which is revising the press regu lations, to Include this restriction, and such a request, the commission regards as being equivalent to an Imperial order. DEATH TO THE CZAR, ASSASSIN Affectionate Sentiment Inscribed on Banner In Socialist Parade. ST. PETERSBURG, . April 7.- The workmen of the village of Smolensk made a demonstration today, the oc casion being the burial of an employe of the Pahl factory who was killed by policemen a few days ago. Six thousand persons assembled early in the morning in a heavy snow storm and awaited the funeral procession. There were red flags everywhere and a wreath deposited by Socialists on the coffin was Inscribed: "Died, an Innocent victim in the struggle for victory." After the interment, revolutionary proclamations were scattered among the people, and a, procession" was formed, headed by a Socialist carrying a banner Inscribed: "Death to the Czar, the assassin." At this juncture a large force of military and police interfered, dispers ing the mob, and seized the wreaths and banners. The workmen did not attempt serious opposition and none was seriously injured. MASTER OF MUSIC IS FIRED Storm of Protest Against Treatment of the Great Korsakoff. ST. PETERSBURG. April S-1:25 A. M.) The dismissal of Rlmsky Korsokoff from the staff of the conservatory on ac count of his attitude during the students strike is evoking a storm of adverse crit icism, the press and all circles of society commenting on the course adopted, to ward one of the greatest masters of Hus sion music after Tschalkowsky. His dis missal was given by the business man agement of tho conservatory committee witnout consulting the advisory commit tee of the Academy, or Imperial Musical Society, the members of which are re signing in protest. It Is computed that the stoppage of work in the universities has cost the government $750,000 of tuition fees, which otherwise would go toward paying the salaries of the faculties. BLAMES REVOLT ON THE JEWS Russian Paper Makes Savage Attack Nobles Accused of Treason. ST. PETERSBURG, April 7. The Sviet today made a yicious assault on the Jews, whom the paper charged with be ing at the bottom of the revolutionary propagada In Russia. The Liberal -newspapers, the Sviet declares, are either in the hands of the Jews or are secretly owned or subsidized by them. Four members of the nobility, M. Za gorskl, M. Bachtiaroff, M. BaikonT and M. Kornlloff, who were arrested on the charge of belonging to tho fighting or ganization of the revolutionists, will be tried May S on the charge of treason. Grand Duke Dlmitri, son of Grand Duke Constantino, who expressed "unwil lingness to accompany the Guard Cavalry Brigade, -of which ho was commander, to the Far East, has been relieved of his command by Imperial order. Strike in Shipyards on Caspian. ASTRAKHAN, European Russia. April 8. The workmen in the large shipyards here have struck. The shipwrights throughout the Volga region are ex tremely discontented, and a general strike is almost certain when navigation opens. HER 1JEW POLICY. (Continued from First Pase.) that as great a success will attend your ef forts as have attended the efforts of the people of Chicago. Thomas E. Watson, recently candidate for President on the People's Party ticket, also was a speaker. He said that more historians will write the victors' of the city of Chicago than the victory at Santiago. PAY ACTUAL VALUE OF LINES Dunne Scouts Idea of Paying Market Value of Stock. NEW YORK, April 7.-nJudge Edward F. Dunne, Mayor-elect of Chicago, arrived In New York today. He was welcomed by a delegation headed by William R, Hearst, president of the Municipal Ownership League, and went at once to a hotel. In an Interview. Judge Dunne quoted Judge Grotweup's estimate of the actual value of the Chicago street railways as $27,000,000. although they are capitalized at $105,000,000 to $117,000,000. Even allowing a fair margin for the value of franchises, this he regarded as excessive. The mar ket value of the stock, he said, was JS6. 000,000, and was' maintained at that figure by the expectation of further extensions of the franchises and by bogus sales of stock. To secure funds with which to purchase the roads. Judge Dunne said he would favor issuing street-car certificates, pay able at the expiration of 30 years by a sinking fund. "Would not any measure of confiscation or buying out of the companies at a prtce fixed by a valuation, and not at the mar ket price of the stock, bo a great in justice to the widows and orphans who have bought in as investors?" he was asked. "I reckon most of the widows and or phans are New Yorkers, and have oflices in Wall street." said Mr. Dunne. Tho franchises of nearly all the street car companies in Chicago, he said, were already run out. The pingle exception was the Union Traction Company, which has a line in the center of the city, but. the Judge added, it was not an Important system. There was nothing to prevent the city from paralleling it on the street .level, or building a subway, if desired. MINE OPERATORS TO BLAME Coroner's Jury Holds Them Respon sible for Alabama Disaster. BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. April 7. The Coroner's- jury which has been investigating the Virginia mine disaster, in which 111 persons lost their lives, returned a Terdlct today which charges- four mine operators Everett T.

Mexican Cen tral officials" announce embezzlements at four stations on that road .in the last month to the extent of $25,000. The money is missing from the stations of Parral, Chihuahua, Jlminez and Santa Rosalia, the biggest Bhortage, $12,000, be ing at Chihuahua. ON BUSINESS LINES Shonts Says HeWill Dig Canal :oh Isthmus. NO POLITICS, FULL PUBLICITY Chairman of New Commission Says People Are Stockholders, and Commission Will Take Coats Off to Make Good. CHICAGO, April 7. "Great business methods, publicity and absolutely no politics. This Is the keynote of the policy of the Panama Canal Commis sion, to which President Roosevelt has seen fit to appoint me president." This is the declaration or T. P. Shonts. who arrived in Chicago from New York to-v day. on his first visit here since his appointment. Mr. Shonts will remain in Chicago but two days. He goes Im mediately to New York, and thence to Washington, to take up the active de tails of the Canal Commission. Mr. Shonts announced soon after his arrival the appointment of Thomas Brown as his private secretary on th Canal Commission. Mr. Brown has been private secretary to Paul Morton, with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail road, for several years. Mr. Shonts also reiterated that he had decided not to resign his position as president of the Toledo, St. Louis & Western Railroad, but will direct its affairs from whatever point he makes his headquarters. "The people of the United States are the stockholders of this Panama Canal, the most gigantic undertaking they have ever been interested in," said Mr. Shonts, "and for the next four years they have selected President Roosevelt to vote their stock for them. Therefore, our policy will be to work precisely as we have worked In building and operating great railroad lines. There- will be monthly reports of progress, of the amount of funds ex pended, and the outlook for the work, just as railroads report to their stock holders. These reports will be filed regu larly In Washington, so that every Con gressman, every official of the Govern ment and the public will be fully, reli ably and frequently informed as to what is being done with their funds in Panama. "We all are pitching in with our coats off, and there will be no time lost now or in the future. We have undertaken the task for the American people, we recog nize the great responsibility resting on us, and we are going out to make good in a way that will please .not only Presi dent Roosevelt and Justify his confidence in us but will also bring us the ap proval of all the people of the nation, the stockholders In the canal enter prise."

At the close of 1850, when some 000 loggers jJUnier8 0r flshenen had already clus ri?i.. ..?? ventoroua spirit began ?r!?H "i11 nwPair sheet which he called The Oregonlan. The news It was wont to contain then of the outside world was a year old. but tho pages were a faith ful chronicle of lives of the pregon pioneers, and I know no better source or safer deposi tory of thp history of Oregon and Washing ton tor the past 55 years than the files of The Oregonlan. When The Oregonlan began, Portland was more remote from civilisation than cither khartum or Cabul. Of all th millions that attended the world's great exhibition at London. It Is safe to say that not one ever heard of Portland or of the Willamette River, and not one thousandth part of 1 per cent of them ever dreamed that within a century the Valley of the Colum bia would be contributing more to the wealth and happiness of the world than the valley of the N'lle, the valley of the Indus and the valley or the Ganges combined. Indeed even the wise and learned men who flocked to the Exhibition of the Prince Con sort did not know the right name of the Co lumbia. To them It was the Oregon and I recall all these facts In order to exhibit In clearer light the courage and greatness of the men and women that created so to speak this beautiful City of Portland and this great State of Oregon. Western Oregon was a dense Interminable forest 55 years ago. It extended frcm Cali fornia to British America. California had Just been won from ilexlco and England claimed nearly all the country drained by the Oregon or Columbia as hers. But neither the English government of that day nor the American Government at the time thought the Columbia country worth a pound of powder or a life. Washington did not like it because It was "free soil" terri tory and London did not like It because the salmon In the Columbia did not rise to a fly. Peel and Talmerston and Gladstone were busy watching Louis Napoleon and check mating Bussia and fomenting insurrection In Italy, and in 1850 the- settled the boundary question by getting the United States to accept the 40th parallel of latitude as the boundary line of the two countries. Even then it was a country for the hunter, the trapper and the fisherman alone. It Is true the gold hunters were chasing fortune in al most every creek and through a thousand glens and gorges of the Rockies. But the gold hunters' trade at that time was & dan gerous and- deadly one. The Trench Cana dian trapper could make friends among the Indians, but the red man did not like the gold hunter and many a prospector and pio neer died untimely and left his bones to bleach in the hot suns of the wilderness of SO years ago. There is nothing that will show so com pletely the marvelous transformation of the West like the Exhibition to be held at Port land this Summer. The buildings will be far more extensive and the exhibits far more varied and instructive than those of London in the year of Portland's birth. The sum of $3,500,000 will be expended in buildings and grounds and the location will be beau tiful to the last degree. Situated northwest of the city at the base of a heavily wooded mountain and beside the flowing waters of the Willamette, no lovelier site was ver chosen for exhibition than these grounds. They form a magnificent park with a back ground of noble hills and a rarely beautiful lake Into which Juts a tiny peninsula, on which the United States Government has erected a superb building. The Federal building Is connected to the main park by a bridge, "picturesque enough for Venice, and on the shores of the lake is an inn built In Venetian style which will accommodate fuliy 1000 quests. Ten thousand brilliant and varl-colored lights will illuminate the park at night, and by reflection make the lake a scene of enchanting beauty. Gon dolas, electric launches and pleasure boats watting over the placid waters musicians of every land and clime, will add to the picturesque loveliness of the aquatic end of the Portland Exhibition. The Chicago and St. Louis Exhibitions were Indeed wonderful In display and In the treasures gathered together from the ends of the earth. But the sweltering Summer climate of Chicago and of St. Louis ruined one's capacity for Instruction and blasted every opportunity for enjoyment. But here Is a delicious land and & most excellent clime. Mid-Summer's wannest suns are tempered by the zephyrs that float over from the cool waves of the broad Pacific, and the odors and the perfumes of the sweetest flavors tinge the air with a. balmy softness that make cne forget, especially at even tide," the worrying cares of life and time. Nearly 20 years ago I pictured Oregon as the home of the lotus-eater. The Willamette Valley Is co-extenatve with Maine and Massachusetts., but. acrefor acre BIG SALE OF SECOND HAND AND USED PIANOS. We have recently taken in ex change, for new upright and grand pianos, quite a number of good second-hand pianos, both, upright and square, and have put them in fine condition, and as we are crowded for room have concluded to clpse them out at one-half their real value. We also have several new pianos returned from rental, slightly used that we will include in the lot. This gives you an exceptionally fine lot to select from and an opportunity yon should not overlook. It is a little hard to enumerate and give proper descrip tion of all, but you will find them in this lot if you call at once. All the way from $65.00 up and all sold on our easy-payment plan of $6.00, $S.OO and $10.00 per month. We are also making a substantial reduction on all new pianos and inasmuch as you need one, In fact will have to have one, to entertain your friends during the Fair, why not call and make your selection now? You will never buy one for less money and never have a finer stock to select from. Would be pleased to have you call and investi gate. Allen & Gilbert-Ramaker Co. Corner Sixth and Morrison the land in this valley will raise ten' times the food products of any land in New Eng land. This may sound hyperbolic, but to the doubting Thomas I will say. "Come and see." I love New England for her past, for the iron resolution of her sons, but Nature has been a thousandfold more beneficent to the happy people of the Columbia Blver country than to the folks she planted In ew England or In New York, or even In Virginia, the Carollnas or Georgia. In every orchard and grove In Oregon the apples and pears and plums and 'peaches and grapes are so plentiful that some fruit has to be plucked unripe to prevent the breaking of the limbs of the trees. There is no such thing as a failure of crops. Tou can raise 40 bushels of wheat and 80 bushels of oats to the acre and more vegetables oft a little garden patch than from one to" twenty times the sire in old Virginia. Only In Ireland is the grass so green, the pasturage so rich, the milk so sweet and the butter so de licious. I have seen no finer cattle on the pasturage lands of Boyal Meath than In this Valley of the Willamette. Happy people and happy land! For a stretch of 150 miles of the Columbia there are more salmon rushing towards spawning grounds than through all the other rivers of the earth, if we except the Fraser Blver. The flr ,and tamarack and cedar standing to day in the forests of Oregon. Washington and British Columbia are worth more than all the gold in all the banks 'and in all the states and national treasuries of the world. When my friend. Nelson Bennett, was building the Northern Pacific Railroad through the Columbia Blver Valley 22 years ago the treasury cf the Northern Pacific was empty and there was not a bank In Wall street that would lend It a dollar. Draft after draft that Nelson Bennett drew upon the company was dishonored and it was only the sheer dogged pluck and enter prise on the part of Western men that put the Northern Pacific through to Puget Sound. Today it Is the roost prosperous railroad property qn the continent save the Canadian Pacific ani the Great Northern. The day Is not far distant when It must double track Its line from Tacoma to St. Paul and though it runs six transcontinental passenger trains dalty over its track there is still need for more. Folks back East do not realize that there 1b being dug out yearly from the sands and the crevices In the valleys and glens and gorges and canyons of the Columbia and Its thousand tributary streams more mineral wealth In proportion to the labor expended than from any other great district of the world. Five hundred miles from Portland at the headwaters of the Kootenai are the vast coal deposits of the Crow's Nest countryThose are the best, the most extensive and the most desirable coal deposits of. the conti nent WJthln a year the Canadian Pacific will bring these coals into Spokane over the Corbln.llne and they can be shipped to Port land for $2.50 a ton over the O. It. & X. railroad and from Portland reach the Pa cific Ocean world by water. It is trange that Nature should have de posited at the summit of the Rockies and adjacent to Its lowest passes the finest an thracite and the best steam and coking coal known to exist. Within 20 years the United State will consume all the wheat it raises and will be Importing wheat from Canada. By thattlme the Canadian Northwest will have become the granary of the world and will be growing 700.000,000 or 800,000.000 bushels of wheat yearly. Today you cap see merchant sailing ships loading flour at Port land's wharves for England. South Africa. Australia and Japan. Twenty years hence the markets now supplied by Portland will have grown tenfold, and Portland will then draw Its wheat and flour supply from the Canadian Northwest, for Portland will then be but 600 miles away from the vast and prolific wheat fields of Canada. It Is true that Portland Is 100 miles from the ocean, but St. Louis Is a thousand. But Portland has a waterway to the ocean finer than St, Louis or Glasgow or London or Liverpool, and she Is the commercial me tropolis of a state richer, fairer and more fruitful than Italy. Climb the heights over looking the Fair ground and you behold a wrndroua panorama of natural beauty. To the east and reaching north and south far beyond tby ken Is that supremely beau tiful range of mountains, the Cascades. There art, a thousand snowy mountain tops, but mere fascinating and more beautiful than all Is the snow white 'dome of the uniquely grand Mount Hood. It is not so lofty, so sublime, so Immense as the mighty monarch of the Cascades. Mount' Rainier, that one can see on clear days far. far away to the north, but it Is more lovely in Its immaculate whiteness In the splendor of the noonday sun. And from out those mighty mountains the glorious Columbia flows. In ages long since past it cleft a passage for Itself through that chain of mountains and at the Cascades wnere It cleft those mighty mountains In twain It Wt standing pillars of rock thousands of feet high everlasting monuments of its might and Irresistible energy. And there you see it flow calmly, majestically along, gathering tribute as It rolls. Tou see the Willamette lost In Its mighty flood. Over there Is n 'battleship riding In Its tide and as far as the eve can se ships reach out. of every shopt and from every country: From the vantage ground of the heights above tho Fair grounds one sees the most fretful otchards, farms and pasture lands that human eye ever rested on. You see a wondrouyly beautiful city. In this glorious land happy homes, free altars, golden opportunity and benignant fortune await tho millions who even no,w nre struggling for existence In the congested dlitricts of the East and Europe. This Is the great lesson that the Portland Fair will teach the world. It will bring hundreds of thousands from the East to sea Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, and those of them who will go back -will be so many heralds of the grandeur, the beauty and the wealth of this Incomparable world of the great Northwest.
