THE 3rOItNIXfr OKKGOXIAX, FUTDAY, APTtTT, 15, 1910. 17 BUSINESS MEN TO INVADE KLAMATH Special Train Will Carry 100 on Visit to Many Cities in Southern Oregon. TIME WILL BE WELL USED Konr Tays Will Be Required for "Get-Acquainted Jaunt, and All Ixng Runs Will Be Made at NightMany Sign for Trip. To cement business friendships and to am in just what way the merchants of Portland can assist their brothers of the AVMIamette. TJmpnua and Rogue lllver valleys and of Southern Oregon is the purpose of an excursion that will leave Portland Monday, April 25. Klamath Falls will too. the turning point of the trip and four day's will be occupied In the Journey. To enable the maximum f time to be spent in each town visited, all the big Jumps will be made at night. U'he tour has been so arranged that wherever possible, only the shortest runs are made during business hours. Although a large number of business men have already signed up for the trip, an effort is being made to keep the num ber under 1J)0, so that there will be less difficulty in caring for the commissariat. For the list to reach its limit, but a few names are yet required. The trip Is be ing made under the auspices of the Port land Commercial Club and Ls in further ance of its scheme to advertise the coun try tributary to Portland. Trade Bonds Strengthened- At Klamath Falls th excursion will be largely in the nature of. a congratula tory visit on the completion of the rail road, and it will be an invitation to the Klamath men to tell the Portlanders their troubles and to induce them to throw their business, where possible, to Port land, its logical center. Klamath was visited once before by a Section of a Commercial Club excursion, which went to Ashland, but at that time the railroad was not concluded and any effort to establish business relations was premature. The business men who are going on the excursion are representatives of large business interests. Prominent bankers, lawyers, wholesalers, jobbers and retail ers In all lines make up the list. First and foremost, the excursion will he on the lines, '"know us; we want to know you." Portland has well earned the title of being the premier city in the Northwest to run tries? business ex cursions and It Is certainly true' that the tours have been successful. Other Excursions Run. Pievioiif exceursions have been run by the club lasting as long as the coming one, but by far the greater number have been one and two-day jaunts. Other excursions run by the club have been to Western .and Southwestern Washing ton, Southern Oregon. Lewlstqn, Boise and the Klamath Fall? country', as well as to the towns of the Willamette Valley. The train will be run on a special ; schedule and will consist of three mod ern electric-lighted Pullmans, an observa tion car, a diner and baggage cars. The cost of the trip will be 53, inclusive of ell expenses and tips. Leaving Portland in the evening of (Monday, April 25, dinner will be served on the train and the evening spent at Salem. Leaving ialem after a renewal of acquaintanceship with the men of that city, a night run will be made to 0 rants Pass, where the morning will be spent. The remainder of the day will be ppent In the Rogue River country. The following d-ay will he spent at Klamath Falls and the surrounding country. On the morning of Thursday the train will be at P-osehurg for an early breakfast, end the last night will be spent at Albany, the run to Portland being made the following day.

DEAL IN MIES BIG None but Combatants Fired Pistols, Bystanders Didn't' Interfere, Is Belief of the Police. That several other Jananeac wit nessed the duel between hlr ., trymen Wednesday night, but neither took part nor Interfered, in th Hon of vz ueiecuves investigating the mortal combat. The duel was fought In the eluh- rooms of the Japanese labor organiza tion ii -it i njverett street. The dead man. O. Murakami, was manager of the club, and a dispute over mnnev in connection with the affairs of the or ganization, it was learned, caused the trouble. Murakami has a police rec ord; He was arrested with three other Japanese on a charge of attempted extortion at money from a Chinaman three months ago. The charges were dismissed. For the first time since the shoot ing. Ogata, the other duelist, who lies in a critical condition at Good Samari tan hospital, talked yesterday after noon to Assistant District Attorney Hennessy, Detective Carpenter and Attorney Henry King. The conversa tion, which was brief and unsatisfac tory, owing to his weakness, was car ried on through an interpreter. Ogata atd there were several men In the room at the time, though he did not know whether any of them shot. He said he only fired one shot. Mur akami was shot only once, through the heart. This dispels the belief that others participated in the affair. Ogata was shot twice The wounds In his breast may prove fatal. Only one revolver has been found. It was the one used by Murakami, and four of the chambers were found fired. The revolver used by Ogata was not discovered. K. Harm, cook at the club: G. Hir ata. of the Mikado Hotel; S. Kawashi, of 33 North Fourth street, and K. Ota, of 327 Everett street, are held as witnesses. Kawashi was yesterday re leased on J500 ball. The only one re membered by Ogata as being present was K. Nitsu, a printer employed on the Oregon Daily News, a Japanese newspaper here. He promised to ap pear at Detective Headquarters today to give his version of the tragedy. 10,000 PENNIES TO PAY rVBLIC OF HOBOREX TO SHOW ITS DISAPPROVAL OF FIXK. Mayor Punished for Contempt of Court, but Verdict Does Not Appeal to .People. NEW YORK. April 14. Ten thousand men. women and children In Hoboken are to be asked to contribute one cent each to pay the fine of $100 imposed upon Mayor George Gonzales by Judge John A. BlaJr for contempt of court. This popular eubscriptIon is not sought because the Mayor Is. unable to pay the fine, for he is a wealthy nmn. but a n protest against the decision of Judg-e Ulair. The promoters of the plan say that when Moyor Gonzales went before the prand Jury to obtain the Indictment of Frederick Steiglefter. former building inspector, for alleged embezzlement, he did so as Mayor, in the interest of the city, and that whatever took place in the grand Jury room was the result of the Mayor's desire to act for the benefit of the city. For that reason it is said it is proper for the people to register their disap proval of the action of the court by contributing to a general fund to pay the fine. If the Supreme Court ehall sustain the decision of Judge Blair when the case is heard on appeal the contributed pen nies will be ujd to pay the fine. If the decision is set afride the money will go to charity. Alfred Gahagan, Frledrich Wlnchiken, Robert Moore, Ernest F. Muzzt. Thomas F. Carrl and William I. Draff in axe in charare of the fund and will receive all contributions. Fifty-seven pennies can be posted on one yard of tape. The com mittee will at once purchase 176 yard?. When Mayor Gonzales was asked about the plan to pay his fine he said he was much pleased that the people felt that he was representing them before the grand Jury. He. had not been consulted about the popular subscription. but thought it an excellent way for the peo ple to express their feeling.

Greely Sell Out Their Interests. "Walter C. Watrous. of Portland, fie ured prominently in one of the largest mining deals ever negotiated in th Xsorthwest, when he promoted a deal this week in Spokane for W. B. Rogers and O. F. Greely, of Altar. Mexico, -involving a payment to his clients of more than 91,000.000. The properties consist of larz-e hold Ings In Mexico and were bought by n.. ivelll, who is now preparing to float a development company with a capital of $12,600,000. The deal is based on what is said to be the richest and largest placer deposits known in the world. The deal was financed entirely in Spokane by Mr. Neill and Mr. Wat rous. The property is known as the Pa loma placers and is in the Altar mining district in Sonora. It consists of 12.000 acres in one holding, which was ac quired piecemeal during the last 12 months by Messrs. Rogers and Greely. The property has been worked inter mittently by Vaquls since the Spanish conquest and has produced in conjunc tion with a few similar properties of less area, nearly $100,000,000 in gold. according to historical records. The Paloma placers are 15 miles east of the Gulf, of California and 25 miles from Port Lobos and are 150 miles south of the International boundary line. They lie 600 feet above sea level, below and south and west of a range of hills com posed of porphyry, seamed with veins of gold-bearing quartz, on which are several producing mines. They Include gravel deposits extending over hun dreds of acres that have been worked in a crude way with little water to a false bedrock by the Taquls, and a large tract of virgin ground which the for mer owners insist ls Just as rich. The completion of the transaction was due largely to a report submitted by M. S. Dudley, a mining expert, who nad made a thorough examination. Mr. Dudley has acted as the expert for the Ladd Interest and on other properties on many occasions. The land will now be developed by the new company, which is being in corporated as the Neill Development Company. Mr. Neill has announced a campaign of development more exten sive than anything of the kind ever undertaken in Mexico. The property affected was not owned outright by Messrs. Rogers and Greely, but their stock in the holdings was sold. This ls. however, the majority of the stock. The rest has been sold In various parts of the world and there are many stock holders In Portland. GIRL BITTEN; MAKES PLEA Child Begs Policeman Xot to Slay Animal. NEW YORK.
