Carson, Attorney General of Pennsylvania, who came from Philadelphia by special Invitation, to be present and deliver the address of the occasion. Attornoy-General Carson's ppeech was an eloquent effort and stamped him as an orator of sftlondid at tainments. He spoke at length of the growth and development of American Ju risprudence and while the address was In the main from the standpoint of a lawyer to lawyers, the speaker devoted considerable attention to the wonderful development of the Pacific Coast. He took occasion to denounce "graft" eeverely. After Attorney-General Carson had concluded, the assembly devoted Itself to the business of organization. It was decided that the constitution and by-laws of the American Bar As sociation, should apply to the Pacific Coast Bar Association with such al terations as were necessary to fit local conditions. It was the unanimous sen timent that annual meetings should be held, although the matter was left with the executive committee. About 200 signed the roll as charter members, and every state and territory west of the Rocky Mountains was represented ex cept New Mexico and Arizona. Officers Are Elected.

Various other standing commit tees were authorized to be named by the president and executive committee. Banquet at the Fair. Yesterday was lawyers' day at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, but the at torneys did not appear in force at the Fair until in the aftornoon. Last night should have been designated lawyers' night, as it was then that the men of counsel and advice In all legal matters really celebrated at the Fair. Their celebration was in the form of an elab orate banquet in the American Inn. The banquet began at 6:30 o'clock at night, and did not end until nearly mid night. There were 145 places set at the tables. Among the guests at the ban quet, which was given under the auspices of the Oregon Bar Association, were many of the most prominent and distinguished lawyers and attorneys in the Northwest- Tho management of the American Inn took especial pains last night In entertain ing the lawyers. The banquets given in this elegant hostelry have always been delightful, but the one last night was particularly brilliant The banquet-rooms were lavishly and beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreens of all de scriptions. From the celling were hung huge bunches of green foliage, and on the tables were heaped masses of roses and other flowers. Oregon grape was also con spicuous In the decorations. The menu was elaborate in the extreme. It con sisted of anchovy on tomato, bouillon, olives, pickles, nuts, fried sea bass, po tatoes, Spring chicken, awoet potatoes, green peas, Roman punch, lettuce salad, ice cream, cake and coffee. Lionel R. "Webster, of Portland, presid ed at the banquet as toastmaster. Many Impromptu talks were delivered besides the prepared speeches. The addresses de livered last night at the banquet were: "Practice In the West," Frederick Bails man, of Seattle; "The Other Side," "W. E. Borah, of Boise; "The Amateur Judge," T. L. Stiles, of Tacoma; "The Keystone State," Hampton L. Carson, of Philadel phia; "The Judiciary of the Pacific Coast," M. J. Gordon, of Spokane. Gov ernor Chamberlain was present at the banquet. W. E. Borah's Address. W. E. Borah in his speech said in part: Since the reconstruction period following the Civil "War those three men in yonder caucus-room have ruled the Government, And complacently the people have abdicated In their favor. By the time the Idea of Novem ber roll around the people have come out en masse to ratify the act of the three men in caucus, but the reins of power are still In the hands of the three men. You cannot secure a hearing upon a measure in Con gress; you dare not touch the sacred ached ules of the Dingier bill, vicious as some of them have crown to be, until you consult those three men they are the outposts of the organization. The people have gone aray, the merchant Is at his counter, the banker at his desk, the lawyer with his brief, and they are the Government. Today we are passing oa a nation through a period of shame and chagrin. In 20 state or the union fraud and corruption has been uncovered in high political circles, and in vestigation is actually in progress. At least four of the great departments at "Washington are honeycombed with rottenness. The great names or nnance, tnose wno count their wealth in millions or tire and cease to count at all. are aeeoclated with organized pilfering from widows and orphans of the land. The guilty and the innocent are all in the cesspool to gether. In sackcloth and ashes the people are paying the forfeit of their crime indiffer ence to the obligations of citizenship. For 30 years the mass of the people busy in iret ting wealth and too happy and contented to be easily called Into the street have forgot ten that we have a form of government which calls for the vigilance of all the people till the time. The elren voice of partisanship ha taiKea or loyalty, and the business world has talked of conservatism until we have a saturnalia of shame and crime which reaches from one end of the land to the other. Loy alty has too often meant the protection of peculators, and eonrervatUm, of whtah the laughing fraud of New Terk was the most noted dieclpie. ha been tbe cover for his paltry theft f $23,090 a year. Theodore Rooeevelt's public life han been a marvelous one, crowded with stirring Inci dent asd brilliant achievements; fate and genius have combined to make his career the most striking and eventful f the age. Or ganizations against which able men have fought in vain have yielded to the way ef his hypnotic power. Political bodies, strong in their rights and Jealous of their power and dignity, have surrendered t his bread and fearless views. Vast corporate influences In trenched and protected by time and custom, have acceeded to his plans. The dead letter ef the statute has felt the vitalizing towel? of bis restless and searching energy. Bat when all the fruits of his matchless ea4oav one have been gathered, none will be richer in benefit to the people at large than his words and acts putting behind him the falM party standard which has obtained for 39 years that the party men can do no wrong, and "giving instead that party loyalty is no lew than citizenship with all Its high obli gations and duties. No organization, no false theory about party loyalty can relieve men from the full obligations of citizenship or excuse them for inefficiency. From those who opposed and cynically scoffed, he ap pealed to the hosts outside, and wimting. proved again that tbe people are not only ca pable, but round and loyal.

E. Young and Harry Pollock Thrown From Vehicle. WERE ON WAY TO FIRE Baa- Ronas Cripple Department In Trying to Reach the Eastern and Western 31111s, but Flame Is Subdued. In a collision with a lumbar -wagon yesterday afternoon while going to a nre at tho Eastern & Western lumber mills In North Portland. J. B. Young, distrfct engineer of the Are department, and Harry Pollock, his driver,, were thrown from their vehicle and slightly Injured. Young sustained an Injury to a leg which will prevent him attending his duties for several days. Pollock re ceived only a few bruises. Tho Are at tho Eastern & Western mills was of little consequence, but the department had considerable difficulty in traveling the streets to the scene. Chief Campbell said yesterday that If it big flro broke out near tho mills that the department -would have gomo diffi culty in getting to it over the roads In the condition which they now are. The mill company, also, has obstruc tions in the roads near the mills which would be an impediment to the depart ment. Complaint has jilso been mudo that combustible oil has been thrown on the river in such quantities that a light would likely start a fire on tho water front among the big warehouses at any time. Steps will probably bo taken by officials to havo an ordinance introduced at a Council meeting to prohibit the throwing of oil on tho river. , Smyrna Figs Grown Hero. G. A. Goffe, residing at S37 Michigan avenue. Alblnn. has exhibited at tho Oregonlan offico some samples of. whlto Smyrna figs that were taken from two trees grown on his lot there, one of which Is 12 and tho other five years old. Tho fruit possesses an excellent flavor, and is ( of large size, three of the figs weighing fully a pound. They are grown In the open and no effort whatever is made to protect them through the Win ter. Mr. Goffo says they have borno regular crops since coming Into bearing, and ho seen no reason why they cannot bo cultivated with profit here, especially as there I3 such a sharp demand for the product. The oldest tree was set out from a cutting, and the other Is an off shoot of it, both being quite prolific In growth, the larger having attained a height of fully 20 feet. It produced up ward of a bushel of fine figs this year. White Rlbboners 3Icet. The Central W. C. T. U. held tho most enjoyable meeting of the seaaon Wednesday. Soveral of the states were represented by distinguished whlto rlbboners. New York, Kentucky, Mis souri, Kansas, California. Hawaii and tho mother country England. Brief speeches were made by each one. Mra. Whitney, of Honolulu Union, gave a very interesting account of the work in that part of the world. The following resolution was passed. THE MONTH OF AUGUST OUR AUTO PARTY unanimously: Besolved by Central V. C. T. U. and Mts distinguished guests, that -we wllf import the Minis terial Association in its efforts to have the LewiK. and Clark Corporation ad here to its contracts and require tho concessionaires on the Trail to keep their entertainments closed on Sun day. A social hour over the tea cup3 waa a fitting close of the afternoon. The state headquarter is the natural meeting place of visiting white rib boners, and a meeting of Central Union is held there every Wednesday at 2 P. M. GOOD MUSIC ENJOYED. A large and appreciative aiidience en Joyed the concert given by Bllers Piano House at the Massachusetts Building j-es-terday afternoon. The programme throughout was entirely in keeping with the artistic character of the Eileri enter tainments and was just long enough to give tired sightseers a refreshing rett. In addition to the Pianola numbers played upon a magnificent Chickerlng grand piano, some charming violin selections were played by Mr. S. J. Story, a rising young violinist. Another interesting feature of tho re cital was the rendering of an old-fashioned minuet upon the old square piano exhibited in the Massachusetts building. This Instrument Is the first Chickerlng piano ever made, and was largely tho work of the hands of Jonas Chickerlng himself. Though more than S8 years old, the quaint relic posaerees a tone which, while it lacka 1n volume, is still very mu sical and pleasing. A charming entertainment has been ar ranged by Ellers Piano House for thii afternoon's concert at the Illinois build ing. Mr. X. C. Zan, soloist. Michigan Day at the Fair. PORTLAND. Or., Aug. 10. (To the ESltor.) Permit me to extend the report of Michigan day at the fair by calling attention to what waa not done, accord ing to tho published programme, and state the reasons why it was not carried out. In the first place tho attendance was fairly good, but might have been better, as there, were hundreds, of Mich igan people on tho Fair grounds who went there to participate In the exercises and, who could not find an Auditorium on the grounds. The Fair management labeled the hall Festival Hall, and the newspapers call It the Auditorium. It Is very misleading Indeed, who made the mistake? The programme of Michigan day was very well executed by the Mich igan residents of Oregon and Washing ton, and much praise is due to the Mich igan Society of Oregon for the methods employed in fore-stalling tho accidents on the programme. Failure of the Go' ernor and Mayor to be present, through pressure of business, was indeed to be regretted; but the people of Michigan, resident in Oregon will readily excuse them when they learn the true reasons, which perhaps those gentlemen them selves are not cognizant of. At the last session of the Michigan Legislature, a bill was Introduced for the purpose of making at least a small appropriation for an exhibit at tho Lewis and Clark Expo sition, and I am reliably Informed that It did not even come up for considera tion. It waa squelched, not by the will of the people of the State of Michigan: but -.rough tho political economy of Its Governor. Why should the Governor of the State of Oregon, under such circum stances, refrain from attending to his executive business on account of Michigan day? It was said that the Mayor of Portland was hobnobbing with railroad magnates, if his success in that line had any virtue, the Michigan people will for give him. for ho certainly had the same reasons to be absent that the Governor had.

It's nice to know of food that not only tastes delicious, but that puts tho snap and go into one and supplies staying power for the day. A woman says: "I have taken enough medicine in my time to furnish a d re store, but in later and wiser years I ha taken none, but have depended, for th-i health I now enjoy, on suitable and sus taining food, of which I keep on hand a tested variety, plain bufT nourishing. "Of these ' my main dependence is Grape-Nuts, especially If I have hef.tro me a day of unusual effort either mental or physical. In this case I fortify m self the first thing in the morntng wlft about 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts moistened with cream and not much els for breakfast and the amount of work I can then carry through successful! s without fatigue or exhaustion is a wonder to those about me and even to myself. "Grape-Nut? food is certainly a won derful strengthener and la not a stimu lant, for there is no reaction afterward 4. but it is sustaining and strengthening, as I have proved by long experience Name given by Postum Co..
