STATE'S BIRTHDAY !EI Builders of Oregon Unite With Legislators for Its Observance. JUDSON IS CHIEF SPEAKER Gearge II. Williams Also Makes Ad dress, 'Which Arouses Enthusi asmProminent Pioneers of State Attend. SALEM, Feb. 15. (Special.) The pio neer builders of Oregon united with the member of the State Legislature this afternoon in commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the admission of this state to the Union. The exercises, which were held in the Hall of Representatives, will form an important event in the records of the Oregon Historical Society, which Joined with the members of the Legisla ture In arranging the day's exercises. Hon. Frederick N. Judsnn. of St. Louis. Mo., was the principal speaker, and his address was one of intense historical In terest to the many old settlers who heard it. Mr. Juelson confined his address prin cipally to a discussion of the relation Oregon, through its Interesting career. bore to the National life. It was mat catefl by the speaker that outside of the original 13 states. Oregon was more close ly Identified with the National life of the country than any other state. From the time of the Joint occupancy of the Oregon Territory until the boundary question was determined, and in' fact right up until the state finally was admitted to the T'nlon. the pioneers through whose seir reliance the state eventually was formed, were closely associated and Identified with the National J!fe. In concluding, Mr. Judson highly complimented the pio neers for the type of citizenship repre sented and which was accountable for the magnificent state they had organized and developed. Judge Williams Speaks. Judge George H. Williams, of Portland, In his address "to Oregon pioneers." be came reminiscent and related some in tensely interesting Incidents connected with his early life in this state. He painted a beautiful word picture of Ore gon as it appeared to him on his ar rival In 1S5S, and In high terms of praise lauded the pioneers for the privations and hardships they had endured that they might organize a form of govern ment and make a state from an unex plored wilderness. Hla descriptions of the home life in that early day were both touching and humorous. Incidentally, he deplored the extent to which the organic Jaw of the state had been amended and the ease with which, under the present system of lawmaking, the constitution can be changed. He charged that in Its present condition the state constitution had "about as much stability as a weather vane In a vigorous stale." He said that the purpose of the constitution was to guarantee the minority protection from the majority but that under the modern Interpretation and alteration of that document, such protection was de nied. Cheers for "Grand Old Man." At the close of the address of Judge Williams, who was presented as "Ore gon's grand old man." by Senator Miller, who presided as chairman of the meet ing, three rousing cheers were- given in honor of the venerable pioneer and statesman. Frederick V. Holman, president of the Oregon Historical Society, introduced the speechmaklrs, following a short ad dress of welcome by Governor Chamber Iain. Mr. Holman read a letter from ex Governor LaFayette Grover. of Portland, one of the three surviving members of the Oregon Constitutional Convention which met in Salem in 1S57. expressing his regrets that he could not attend the semi-centennial. Mr. Holman in his ad dress discussed the character of the pio neers that made Oregon and paid a high tribute to Dr. John McLoughlin, but for whose generosity many of the original settlers in the state would not have sur vived. Oregon, he said, was a land of wonderful Importance and great oppor tunity. The Assembly was called to order by Speaker McArthur, who Introduced Sena tor MUler as the permanent chairman. Because of too much business awaiting Its consideration, the Senate did not at tend the exercises in a body. Invocation was pronounced by Rev. W. R. Bishop, cf Portland, following the Introductory remarks of Senator Miller. McElroy's orchestra, of this city, furnished music. Those AVer present.

MEDICAL BOARD ACCUSED Representative Ghent, of Seattle, Makes Bitter Attack on Dr. Sharpies Declares Applicants With Money Stand Show. OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 15. (Special.) The introduction of a bill providing for an investigation of all the state institu tions and all the state departments, with Hutchinson, of Spokane, the author, fol lowed the killing by the Senate today of the iatter's bill abolishing the State Board of Control. Hutchinson made a strong, but Ineffec tual effort to save his bill from Indefinite postponement, reading the statement heretofore published from the six Spokane contractors declaring the new ward build ing at the Medical Lake Asylum to be unsafe. Senator Hutchinson charged that either graft or Incompetency had been shown in other state institutions in the expenditures of money appropriated for the Improvement, mentioning the School for the Deaf and Blind at Vancouver, the Soldiers' Home at Ortlng, the asylum at Steilacosm and the branch Soldiers' Home at Port Orchard. Medical Board Accused of Graft. Hutchinson's probing bill provides for the appointment of three Senators and three Representatives to investigate all the state Institutions and departments at least once before January 1. 1911, and re- ! port. The bill gives the committee power to summon and examine witnesses and appropriates $1000 for their actual ex penses. Charges that there were evidences of gTaft in the method pursued by the State Board of Medical Examiners were made in the House this afternoon by Repre sentative Ghent, of King County, a mem ber of the medical profession. Dr. Ghent served notice that he would ask for an investigation of the State Board and alluded to Dr. J. C. Sharpless, of Seattle, secretary of the Board, as a "pimple on the medical profession." "Quii" Class to Those AVho Have Money. Dr. H. Ghent charged that a "qulx" class Is conducted which may be Joined by applicants for admission to the prac tice upon payment of 1100. "Applicants who have the price will probably pass," he said, "but I am In doubt about the ones who do not attend the class." He asserted that J6000 had been Im properly accepted by members of the board. Ghent's attack on the Medical Board came during a discussion of a bill relative to the practice of medicine and providing for the addition of an osteopath to the membership of the 3tate Board. Charges were also made that the bill was drawn for the purpose of creating an os teopathic trust by preventing the admis sion to practice of newcomers and. new graduates. A motion indefinitely to post pone the bill was defeated, 6S to 18. BRIBERY CHARGE STARTLES Logging Company Accused of In ducing AVItness to. Leave State. MOXTESANO, Wash., Feb. 16. (Spe cial.)

Neuralgia and Is Cured ly the Remedy That Cures Other Forms. Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatio nerve and the treatment should be the same as for other forms of neuralgia. Lack of blood is almost always associat ed with neuralgia. Build np the blood, the impoverished nerves are fed and the neuralgic pains disappear. Absolute rest is the best aid to proper medical treatment. So many severe cases of sciatica have been cured bv Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that every sufferer is justified in giving the treatment a thorough trial. A recent cure is that of Mr. L. H. Smith, a farmer, of Bolivar, Ohio, who says: "T think the sciatica In mr ease was caused by a heavy fall on my left side. I kept on working alter tne injury wnicn had left mv lea and hip very sore. The pains were severe and cutting and were worse whenever i cumoea up tuiu uuwn stairs as I had to do every evening for I was employed as a night watchman at that time. The pains extended down to my foot and were constant unless I sat down and placed my leg out straight. Often I was forced to use crutches. The pains were bo Bevere that I could not get more than two and one-half- hours' sleep at a time. "The doctor's medicine did not agree with my stomach and did not help me I was under the care of different doc tors for eisrht or ten months and then ! gave them up and started to use Dr. Williams' .fink .fills, l experienced relief sooner than I had hoped for and took several boxes of the pills. I am now in good health, the pains have en tirely left me and lean use my leg with- out tlie siigntest pain, x tmuK ur. Williams' Pink Pills have no equal and recommend them hoping I may be the canse of some sufferer getting relief." If you have sciatica, or sciatic rheu matism, and the treatment you have taken proved of no benefit, it is time that you tried the remedy that has cur ed so' many stubborn cases Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills. These pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 60 cents per box; six boxes, $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Com pany, Schenectady, N.

A prominent medical man, who suf fered with a severe cough and cold on the lungs, often being kept awake all night and weakened by loss of sleep, finally discovered a simple formula which will cure any cough ,in five hours by the clock.

RlUe to secure nui -"V"""., high-grade, brand new piano, of well known make, at a very considerable re duction, but are also to get an actual credit of exactly double the amount of first payment.

It is seldom that one finds a single dollar doing the work of two, but in this Instance money certainly does double work. If you have been contemplating tne purchase of a piano, this offer surely will stimulate immediate action. But to further impress upon the minds of everyone the fact that we are now ten years old that we are the only piano house that has been con tinually in business in Portland since !S9H that we are, in fact, the oldest Portland piano dealers, and that our prices, which have always been lowest, are now lower than ever and that our pianos are of the same high grade as heretofore we have actually reduced oiional r A 0 Photogravures for 49c Here Are B SALE BATH TOWELS White Bath Towels "White Bath Towels White Bath Towels White Bath Towels White Bath Towels White Bath Towels Rubdry Towels Rubdry Towels Rubdry Towels Linen Bath Towels Linen Bath Towels Linen Bath Towels. . 4 Mats 20 by36 38 by 20 42 by 22 45 bv 32 57 by 28 72 by 40 16 bv 32 47 by 26 58 by 29 42 by 21 46 by 23 48 by 22 Bathroom Feather Dusters Reduced Feather Dusters, values to 25c, now 14 Feather Dusters, values 60c to 85c, now 4 Feather Dusters, values $1.00 to $1.50, now . d JC Feather Dusters, values $1.75 to $2.25, now SJ'i Feather Dusters, values $2.50 to $3.00, now Jjsl.4b dry and pushed the tools up, jamming them so they were removed only with great difficulty.

We are quite sure that In this way a great deal of unintentional annoyance caused people who may not have been quite ready to purchase, will be done away with. We propose to eliminate all this extra expense in the future and we shall give our customers the benefit of this additional saving. Hence, our still further reduced prices. To celebrate our anniversary In the usual and commonplace manner, with flowers and orchestra, and st.ivenirs, would be an event soon to be forgotten. We propose, therefore, to make this celebration in a very much more thor oughly practical way helpful to our selves, and helpful also to several hun dred buyers, who will Investigate this opportunity. Hence, this offer. Never heretofore have our pianos been so fine headed by the world's best, and America's oldest-established make the Chickerlng.
