' 12 THE SUNDAY' 0REG0MA3J, PORTLAND. MAY 8, 1904. X TO TELL THE WORLD Lewis and Clark Fair Issues 300,000 Books, ALL ABOUT OREGON COUNTRY Edition of Thirty-Six Tons, Full of Fine Pictures and Impressive Facts Which WIN Enlighten the People on Oregon. Thirty-six tons of pamphlets adver tising the Lewis and Clark Exposition and the Oregon country generally have finished s. journey through the presses and are now ready for distribution throughout the United States. There axe 300.000 of the booklets more than half a dozen such editions, as the most popular novels may claim. Great con fidence Is placed by the Exposition management in the power of this tre mendous edition as an advertising me dium. Arrangements for the distribution of the books have not yet been completed, although it is Intended to ship 50,000 copies to St. Louis for distribution un der the supervision of Commissioner General Dosch. To the largest news papers of the country, 4000 in number, will be sent copies, together with a short review of the contents in order that the book reviewers may know at a glance what the book contains. Sev eral thousand copies will be held at Exposition headquarters for filling mail requests. Just what disposition will be made of the rest has not yet been de termined. The booklet, which was compiled by Secretary Henry Reed, of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, is especially attrac tive in make-up. aside from the large amount of general Information and data it contains. Furthermore, it Is of a size which will fit easily In one's coat pocket, and thus, in many Instances, will escape being thrown away when the recipient lacks energy to carry a book around In his or her hands. The feature of the book is its fine Illustrations of many picturesque, characteristic and pleasing scenes of the Oregon Country. The reading mat ter deals for the most part with the industries and resources of Oregon, and the Inducements it offers to settlers and investors. There are chapters, also, on the States of Washington, Idaho, Montana and "Wyoming. The place of prominence Is devoted to the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The wonderful progress that has been made throughout the Oregon Country in recent years is shown forc ibly. The area of this great country, composed of Oregon, "Washington, Mon tana, Idaho and "Wyoming, was, it Is shown, nearly 307,000 square miles when explored in 1805-6. Its popula tion in 1850 was 13,300, while in 1904 it is 1.500,000. In 1850 it produced 276, 000 bushels of grain, and in 1900 over 64,000,00 bushels. Its manufactures "have grown from $2,250,000 in 1850 to $200,000,000 in 1904. It now annually adds to the Nation's store of wealth $70,000,000 In gold, silver, copper and lead. Concerning the present State of Ore gon, the following facts are given: "Value of the standing timber at an average price of $12 per thousand feet for lumber, $3,600,000,000; foreign com merce, $12,000,000 a year; exports of breadstuffs in 1903, $8,668,619; Govern ment and state lands open to settle ment. 23,350,000 acres; output of dair ies, $3,500,000 a year; annual produc tion of hops, 16,000,000 pounds: value of poultry and eggs, $4,250,000; value of livestock, $34,000,000; value of man ufacturing output, $84,000,000; output of fisheries, $3,000,000 a year; value of orchard products, $3,000,000 a year; product of mines. $5,000,000 a year." Climate. Irrigation, education, scen ory and many other topics of interest to settlers, investors and tourists are fully treated. Portland Is shown to have a popula tion of 125,000. as against 821 in 1850. Its Jobbing trade amounts to $175,000, 000 a year, and Its manufactures to $49,500,000. Since 1900, It has erected nearly $10,000,000 worth of new build ings. It has 163& miles of electric street-car lines and annually cuts 400, 000,000 feet of lumber. Its bank de posits amount to $35,000,000. Eight large steamships aggregating 60,000 tons, ply between its wharves and the , Oriental ports. While no definite plans have yet been made, there Is home talk of getting out n booklet of the same order, descrip tive of Portland. An effort will bo made to get the commercial organiza tions interested in this work before anything material Is done. It Is the belief of many citizens and officials that money could not be more advan tageously spent by business men and Investors and those interested In the city's welfare and progress. "Considering the wonderful things we have to offer In Portland," said Sec retary Reed, author of the pamphlet just issued, "everything possible should be done to advertise what wo have. The commercial bodies ought to put at least $30,000 a year Into advertising the city, and the returns would mors than repay the Investment. I hope to Bee this matter taken up in the very near future" EX-SEKAT0K TERMS IT SWINDLE 'J. J. Hill Will Testify Against Man' Soliciting "Write-Ups." MINNEAPOLIS. May 7. Benjamin Smith is under arrest here on a charge of swindling, the complainant In the case being ex-Senator W. D. Wash burn. It is said one of the witnesses against Smith when he Is brought to trial will be J. J. Hill. Smith, repre senting himself as a representative of an oncyclopedla and art concern, called on Mr. Washburn and exhibited check for $150 purporting to have been signed by James. J. Hill for a "write up" In an encyclopedia. Mr. "Washburn was Impressed, and Sjmlth secured a check for him for $150.

DOVBR. Del.. May 7. Mrs. Mary A. Powell was tonight convicted of the mur dor of Estella Albln. the Jury fixing the punishment at life imprisonment. Estella Albln lived with Mr. and Mrs. Powell at Bowers Beach, near here. On February 9 she was found murdered. Mrs. Powell was arrested and confessed, but declared the act was committed In self-defense. The evidence showed that Illicit relations ex isted between Powell and Miss Albln, and the prosecution endeavored to prove that Mrs. Powell killed the girl In a jealous frenzy. " Important to Labor Unions. TOPEKA, Ivan.. May ".The Supreme Court today declared void the statute which makes It unlawful to discharge an employe because he belongs to a lawful laber organization and which proides for the recoery of damages for the dis charged men. This Is a decision of great Importance to labor unions. t - EX-GOVERNOR OF NEW PRESIDENT 3a$2&:- mL"f-ww KBAXK S. BLACK. Frank Strett Black, who is to make the principal speech nominating Theodora Roosevelt for President at the Republican National Convention, next June, teas born In Maine In 1853. He graduated from Dartmouth College In 1875, and engaged In journalism. He was editor of the Johnstown (N. T.) Journal, and later was a re porter on the Tror (N. T.) Whig. He was admitted to the bar in 1S79, served In Congress 1695-87, aaa was elected Governor of New Tork in 1897, retiring In 1899. D. B. HILL PRODS TIGER (Continued from First Page.) Hill counted on for Ms candidate does not seem to he materializing to any great effect, and the boom is halting. Taggart Encourages Tammany. Tammany men aro taklnjf great com fort In an Interview with Thomas Tag gart, the big. man In Indiana. In this interview, which took place at Indianapo lis, Mr. Taggart, who has been a strong Parker man, is Quoted as saying that efforts In behalf of the New Tork Judge will not be relaxed, but admitted there is a growing sentiment for McCl&llan In Indiana, and wound up by saying that If New York should And that Parker cannot be nominated without danger of party disruption, ilcClellan may receive the Indiana vote. Bourke Cockran, now the recognized Tammany spokesman, sprung a boom for District Attorney Folk, of St. Louis, In a speech he delivered during the closing hours of Congress, but Mr. Folk has come back with the statement that he wants to be Governor, and won't take anything m m m m t GAEAT LEAD OF ROOSEVELT.

L else, as he regards his first duty now to Eeo that the people of Missouri are pro tected against grafters and boodlers. This naturally disposed of the Folk boom what there was of It. in short order. Ever since Bryan's speech at Chicago, In which he attacked the New Tork 'plat form, there has been a feeling that Par ker would have to ultimately be dropped and some man taken up who would not be personally offensive to Bryan and that large element of the party that swears by him. McClellan and Bryan ore on the best of terms, as was evinced by the Nebras kan's call on the Mayor some months .,., YORK TO NOMINATE ROOSEVELT rwsKT7mrs2 ifirflMlyfll m t ago, which was told of in The Oregonian at the time. McClellan was a regular In 1S96 and 1800, and It is believed his nomi nation would be pleasing to the Bryan element Should McClellan be nominated tho probabilities are that he would be knifed by the Hill men, but tho Tammanyltea are prepared with statistics to show that Hill's following Is a paper organization, and In the entire state he can hardly count on the absolute control of as many votes as an ordinary Tammany assembly district leader. Of course New Tork delegates will go to St. Louis bound for Parker, but the Tammany men expect to do a good deal of effective talking regardless of the fact that their votes will be delivered for a man they declare publicly and privately cannot bo elected. -They are going to make the fight of their lives and expect to convince the delegates from other sec tions of the "Union that it would be sui cidal to name New York's Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals to run against Theodore Roosevelt . But no matter what tho outcome may be, this bitterest of fights has left sores that will take long to heal, and Repub licans realize that the skies are getting brighter, and they are beginning to see the stars which denote political victory. 'There Is only one thing absolutely cer tain in politics," confided Senator Chaun cey M. Depew to a group la the Amen corner at the Fifth Avenue Hotel the other night, "and that is that when they have a chance to win, one can confident ly count on the Democratic party In New York state making fools of themselves." And his hearers, all astute Republicans, cordially agreed with him. Hearst Boom Killed. There isn't much talk about the Hearst boom nowadays, and politicians are gen erally of the opinion that It has been killed. Mr. Hearst has no headquarters In this city nowadays, and his papers are devoting less than half their usual space to descriptions of tho progress of the boom. All of which is significant It is now a question whether his name will even be presented to the convention. He expects to get encouraging results la the South, and has Iowa "cinched," but outside of that the actual results have not come up to the preliminary press agent reports. One thing Is clear, however, and that Is that he has spent a frightful amount of money, and the men employed on his papers fear that they will be compelled to make good later. In fact the only happy persons are those who had the handling of the money during the early dajs when everything looked rosy. Candidate Seizes Election Books. CHARLESTON. W. Va.. May 7. At the Republican primaries today Grant P. Hall, running for Secretary-of-State, created a sensation by securing the election books in the Fourth "Ward. This was because the election officers refused him challengers. The trouble finally resulted in the polls not being opened,. Hall was arrested and re moved from the polls. At Patrick, where Gene Chandler was shot last night, the polls were not even opened today. Mayor Indicted for Election Row. JOLIET, 111., May 7. Mayor "William C Crolius, three of his police officers and one citizen were Indicted today for conspiracy. They are alleged to have interfered with a number of Re publican Italians who by arrest, threats and other means were prevent ed from voting.

STATE CHAIRMAN PROPHESIES Campaign Will Be Short, but Desire to Start the Roosevelt Ball Rolling Stimulates Inter est in Result. One hundred thousand votes in the state elections next June is the prophecy of Frank C. Baker, chairman of the Re publican State Central Committee. A plu rality of 20.000 votes is Mr. Baker's size- up of the Republican conquest ) "And I'm not a hot-air artist either," ( says Mr. Baker. But Alex Sweek. chairman of the Dem ocratic State Central Committee, has brave notions of his own. Valnglorlously and grandiloquently, he proclaims that his sharpshooters will pick off all the Re publicans in sight That's the way for him to talk as chief of the unterrifled, and that's why he does it. "How big will be the Republican plu rality?" was asked of Alex yesterday. Alex was in a hurry, for the sunbeams of "Washington County were fondly waiting for him, and the orb of day was sinking In the West ere Alex started on his jour ney. "There will be a good-sized plural ity." he stoutly declared, but Immediately catching- the dismay on the face of his myrmidons, corrected himself and ex Dlained: "Renubllcan plurality? There ain't going to be any." "Not even one vote plurality?" "No, sir," he stubbornly responded, and that very moment was off for the sun beams of Washington County. "B-r-r-r-r " sounded a noise from Mr. Baker when Alex' defi was carried to his ears. The noise was of Mr. Baker's clear ing his throat It was very fierce, Indeed, and came from far down the orifice. "Our friends, the enemy," said he, "would better be sure their people are go ing to stay on the ticket before they talk too much. Our folks haven't got enough places on the ticket for the boys. Their folks haven't got enough boys for the places." Whitney L. Boise, Chairman of the Re publican County Central Committee, took a shot at the unterrifled, too. "Hot air," said he, "don't cost them anything, but if they're doing anything nobody has heard of it" Stirring Up Registration. Mr. Boise will bo ready to open the campaign with brass bands, Roman can dles and spellbinders next week. The or ganization has to work now in full-swing. It Is rounding up electors for registra tion, sending and taking them to the County Clerk's office and supplying out-of-town voters with affidavits through no taries. A great deal of such work will bo accomplished this week. Mr.Bolsa has set the members of the executive com mittee busily at work. Each of the ten city mambers has charge of a ward and is there directing the precinct organiza tion. Headquarters have been established In McKay building and Mr. Boise has already purchased furniture therefor. The campaign will last three weeks. It will bo sharp and brisk all tho while. Republican strategists plan to put Demo crats to rout at once and to keep them running all the while. Tho enemy's gen erals are trying to raise a campaign fund but the money doesn't roll in plentifully, despite Republican prosperity. They will establish barracks, too, probably In Mar quam building. When Chairman Sweek was asked how the rent would be paid he answered ruefully that the money thus far in sight had come out of his own pocket Both he and John Van Zante, who is County Chairman, are rejoiced by the Republican promise of a short cam paign. "Three weeks," said John, "13 long enough. I don't believe In a long fight and never did." When Chairman Baker heard tho faint echoes of the loud Democratic boastings, he warmed up at once. "They're talking for a loud noise," pro claimed Mr. Baker, of Alex and John. "They're like the boy out in the street who has clams to sell." Mr. Baker Plans Trip. Mr. Baker plans to travel over the state into many towns and hamlets, as an apostle of the faith. "But I'm not going to preach," said he, "oh, no. Then what am I jrolntr to do? Oh, I'll sow ittla seeds of kindness." Mr. Baker hopes to see Republicans roll up a big plurality next June." He counts a big plurality then as more to be desired tnan in November. "The eyes of the whole United States," sail he, "will be on Oregon next June. This state owes a big vote to the Repub lican cause In June, chiefly for Roose velt's benefit It won't make so much difference in November, for Roosevelt will carry Oiegon anyhow. But the polit ical effect of the June election will be immense. Oh, yes!" 100,000 Votes in June. Mr. Baker has dug up the record of the last nine state elections in Oregon. From them he estimates that 100,000 vot ers In this state will cast their ballots in June. The figures are: 18SG ' Vote for Governor 54.821 Democratic plurality -. .- 3,702 1SSS- Vote for Congressman 00.205 Republican plurality ...... 7.407 1S90 Vote for Congressman 73,295 Republican plurality ...... 0.913 1832 Vote for Supreme Judge 75.29S Republican plurality 2,G75 Vote for President 7S.390 Republican plurality 8,100 1S94 Vote for Goernor 87,709 Republican plurality 14.416 1890 Vote for Supreme Judge 85,209 Republican plurality . .14,3111 Vote for President....

You will notice that eight years ago the number of votes was 95,000. Since that time there has been a big in crease In the population of the state. The increase has been greatest in the last three years. It will be observed also that two years ago the normal Re publican plurality was 20 per cent of the total vote cast or about 17,000. I do not see why that percentage should be reduced this year; therefore I think I am warranted In predicting a Republi can "plurality of 20,000 out of a total vote of 100,000." Injunction Against Strikers. SAN FRANCISCO. May 7. A United States Marshal went to Point Richmond today to serve a temporary restraining order against the striking employes of the Santa, Fe Company at that place. The order was directed to J. R. Rowan and SO others who are strikers. It directs them from Interfering with the non-unionists now employed at the railroad shops J at Point Richmond, and also with the ma- A Wonderful Clairvoyant.

Last of the Season's Immigrants Arrive. Yesterday marked the hast day of the special immigrant rates over the rail roads for this season. Only a few fami lies who are seeking homes In the North west came In over the various lines dur ing the day. The travel of this class has been gradually dwindling for two or three days past and there will be no more be fore Fall. Since the special rates were inaugurated in the Spring, the roads have .brought to Oregon and Washington several thousand persons. It is estimated, though the exact number cannot be figured at this time. A large portion of these people have set tled In the "Willamette "Valley, many of them having located homes there on previous occasions. Of the remainder, a portion went to Idaho and others to "Washington. In advertising the special rates to the Northwest for homeseekers, the railroads have endeavored to do it among a class of people who will be substantial and stable citizens, farmers who will make permanent homes, develop the unde veloped country and make the land pro ductive." Judging from the appearance of the majority of the immigrants who have passed through Portland, the roads have accomplished their purpose very well. The majority of the immigrants are farmers from Kansas and Nebraska. They came here believing they would find better conditions and places where they could make productive and paying farms. "With such a class of people work ing In a country as productive as Oregon, and under the favorable conditions that prevail here, the best of results are ex pected. Again in the Fall the immigrant rates will be installed by all the roads, and another contingent of settlers will bo J brought Into the state. The special rates are not maintained all the time, because, as Is explained by the railroad officials. If Immigrants were brought into the state every week arid every day, the country would be over crowded, and thero would be difficulty in getting them all satisfactorily located. Under the present scheme. It Is believed those brought here In the Spring will have thoroughly established themselves in new homes before Fall and they will be enabled to assist their friends from the East who come during the later sea son, to secure suitable places for them selves.

If he were as frank and as Impulsive as the Republican candidate, perhaps, a little of this kind of taunt ing would bring out a square avowal of his principles. But Parker's training on the bench has taught him how to hold his tongue, among other things. He knows, as any other experienced poli tician knows, that the candidate is not to anticipate his nomination too hastily, and that there is no obligation on him to say one. word until the party has framed its platform and has officially notified the nominee that he is the party's choice. No other of the Democratic candidates for the nomination has yet said what he stands for. Parker merely stands with the rest in keeping silent. If Parker Is nominated he will be ex pected to say. In his official letter of ac ceptance, what he stands for in Ameri can politics. Until that time he Is not only within his rights, but within tne proprieties, in keeping his opinions and policies to himself. The Democrats woo are trying to force him to speak out In advance are merely doing what they can to make trouble for him. Between their tactics and those of Congressman Scott the only difference is that Scott Is In the opposite party, and would naturally like to embarrass the Democratic can didate. The others object to Parker and would like to put hint out of the race But they are wasting their time.
