OREGON ORE TESTS
Enough Copper in the Rock to
Pay All Costs of Smelting.
PYRITIC PROCESS CAN BE USED
Result of Analyses Made in Colorado
by E. T. Bradford, the Smel
ter Promoter.
Good news relating to the proposed
Portland smelter comes from Leadville,
Colo. Teste of Oregon ores, made under
the supervision of Edward T. Bradford,
the smelter promoter, and John S. Loder,
whose process Mr. Bradford proposes to
use, have been made In the plant of the
Boston Gold-Copper Smelting Company, at
Leadville, and have proved highly satis
factory. The very important announce
ment Is made that the ores are susceptible
to smelting by the pyritlc process. Of
equal importance Is the news that the
copper in the ores will pay all costs of
smelting, leaving the gold and silver for
profit.
The result of tho test Is stated in a let
ter by Mr. Loder to John S. McDonough,
of Denver. It is dated March 22, and
follows:
"We have this day completed tho an
alyses of ores sent to us from Oregon.
"We have been very careful in making
these determinations, and the results are
absolutely as herein stated. Nearly all of
these ores are very desirable for pyritlc
smelting. Numbers 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are
very desirable ores, containing within
themselves sufficient calorific values for
their practical reduction, the sio 2 (silica)
fe (carbon) and cu (copper) making a very
desirable blending. In fact, there is noth
ing that we can Gee that la detrimental
to the smelting of any of these ores by
the pyritlc method. In fact, we have spent
considerable time on each of these deter
minations, and are thoroughly satisfied
that there Is nothing detrimental to the
smelting of the ores. The copper alone in
the above ores would more than pay the
entire cost of reduction, leaving the gold
and silver practically as a profit. There
Is only one ore in the entire lot that shows
an excess sin (zinc). This percentage
would be so reduced In blending that the
percentage of zinc would not cut any fig
ure whatsoever in smelting. Our man,
Mr. Gallaher, is a thorough and competent
chemist, understanding what is required of
this class of work. Mr. Gallaher does all
of our work for the plant here, and has
given entire satisfaction."
The tone of Mr. Loder's letter is as
suring. The tests have been completed
and, so far as the ores are concerned,
nothing stands in the way of the estab
lishment of a paying commercial smelter
at Portland. Mr. Bradford sends a copy
of the Loder letter to a friend in Portland,
together with this brief but encouraging
note: "Inclosed please find copy of report
on Oregon ores from Mr. Loder, addressed
to our president, John McDonough. which,
as you will see, is entirely satisfactory."
Portland business men who are In Mr.
Bradford's confidence saj that now that
he ia satisfied with the tests of Oregon
ores, it will not be long before he will
return to Portland and push the smelter
enterprise to successful completion.
STOCK EXCHANGE ASSURED.
Organization Is a Question of Only
a. Short Time.
There is now no doubt of tho early or
ganization of tho Mining Stock Exchange,
which has been incorporated by L. B. Cox,
Henry Hahn, J. F. Batch elder. J. Frank
Watson and Seneca Smith. Forty shares
of stock have been subscribed. When 50
are taken the Exchange will bo organized
and preparations made to begin business.
When that has been done Portland will
have taken a most Important step towards
asserting her position as the mining cen
ter of tho Northwest. Mr. Cox said yes
terday that he had no doubt that the
remaining 10 shares -would be placed In a
few days. "The Mining Stock Exchango
Is assured," he sa'd.

State Food Commissioner Bailey thinks
process butter and adulterated Jellies havo
been driven from Oregon markets, as a
result of his recent prosecutions, and that
both the dairy and fruit interests of the
entire state will receive immediate bene
fit in consequence. "Now that the pro
ducer and consumer are to bo protected
from adulterated foods," he said yester
day, "farmers are beginning to take moro
Interest in the establishment of creamer
ies. Dairymen have obtained 27 cents a
pound for their butter this season, be
cause their product has not had to com
pete with the made-over trash known as
process butter,' which has heretofore
been shipped in from the East by the
carload and sold for less than our butter
makers could produce the pure article.
"Although I have not yet secured a con
viction in connection with the salo of
process butter, I have caused dealers to
realize the risk they run in placing the
stuff on the market. I find there are
quite a number of technicalities which
the process butter men hide behind, but
I propose to stay with the cause unUl
these are all exhausted. While I was pros
ecuting a process-butter case here a few
weelis ago, the same defendants wore in
trouble In Michigan, over a similar case
there, and the Justice of the Peace, who
was an old German and who had been a
tailor all his life, pronounced the pure
food law of Michigan unconstitutional,
and threw the case out of court.
"Oregon will have a big fruit crop this
year, and If the frultraisers are assured
protection against the ImportaUou of adul
terated preserves and Jellies, home can
neries will be established in various sec
Uons of the state, and we will shortly
become exporters of canned fruits, as well
as of pure creamery butter. The principal
reason these enterprises have not been
established heretofore is that Oregon had
become the dumping ground for the adul
terated article, and no dairyman or frult
ralser could begin to compete with it. I
look for a big stride In the business of
preserving fruit and of manufacturing
butter within the present year."
Mr. Bailey has been visiting various por
tions of the state recently, and says the
outlook never was more hopeful for a
bountiful fruit crop at this season of the
year. N

RATHER LIVE IN 'OREGON.
Drought-Stricken Californlan Com
pares the Tvo States.
Sanford Lawrence, a former citizen of
Oregon, who has been living at Elsinore,
In Southern California, for the past two
years, was In Portland yesterday, on his
way to visit a son in Sheridan, Tamhill
County. He says Riverside County has
been obliged to get along on two inches of
rain this season, and so crops are dry
ing up where water cannot be obtained for
Irrigation.
"But our people live in hopes," Mr.
Lawrence says, "and we think next sea
son will be wet, as the years go In seven
year cycles, and this Is the seventh of a
series of years in which, each succeeding
season was dryer than the preceding. Our
oldest inhabitant Is confident that each
one of the next series will be wetter and
the last will therefore culminate in a
flood.
"But I would much rather live in Ore
gon, whero people complain of rain, but
not of crop failures. Oregon always pro
duces plenty, and the farmer and stock
man .need not sit up nights worrying
about crops that are burning up In the
fields. I think It more than likely that
I will return to Oregon to reside per
manently, as soon as I can settle my
affairs in Southern California."
Mr. Lawrence says the orange crop of
Riverside County Is fine wherever irri
gation can be practiced, and these favored
groves are now yellow with ripe oranges
and white with the blossoms of the fruit
which it to be ripe next November. "If
I had 10 acres of good bearing orange
trees where I could be sure of plenty of
water for Irrigation," he continued, "I
would not want anything better, but the
water supply Is the paramount question.
A number of orange growers recently
tapped the Elsinore Lake for the purpose
of Irrigating their . orchards, but the
water was so stronsly impregnated with
alkali that It killed the trees."

VOTING AT PRIMARIES.
Mayor Storey Ask for Light on the
Election Law.
Following is the text of a communica
tion from Mayor Storey to the Multno
mah Republican Bar, which will be acted
on tomorrow night:
Portland. March 7. To the Multnomah Bar
Association, "Win. M. Banks. Secretary, City
Dear Sir: I dcrire at this time to ask that
the Bar Association will give the matter of
tho primary law a little attention and deflne.
If possible, the njeanlnsr, within the law, or
oactlon 5. page W. or the Australian Ballot
Laws of Oregon. Section 5 reads as follows:
"So person who Is not a qualified elector un
der the laws of the rtate, or will not be so
qualified at the next ensuing general election,
shall be qualified or permitted to vote at any
primary election held under this act."
Section C defines, further, duties and qualifi
cations and provides a penalty therefor. Sec
tion 5. page 123, Laws of Oregon, 1S09. reads
as follows: "It shall be the duty of every
elector in the State of Oregon, between the
first Monday In January, 1D0O. and 5 o'clock P.
M. of tho 15th day of May. lSKX). and between
the same dates and hours biennially there
after to register with eome Notary Public, or
Justlco of the Peace, or with the County Clerk
la, the comity In which tire elector resides. In
accordance with thl9 act."
This, gentlemen, according to my Idea, taken
In connection with section 5 of the primary
laws of the Australian ballot sjwtexn, would
preclude the possibility of the rlffht of any per
son to vote at tho primary election unless he
had become a qualified elector under the laws
of the state, prior to said primary election.
Howcx-er, I desire very much to have the Bar
Association take this matter up and discuss It
and render an opinion as early as possible,
and 1, individually, will feel very grateful to
the A&soclation for the opinion. Respectfully,
W. A. STOREV. Mayor.

CHEAPEST POSSIBLE FOOD.
Hott Wheat Hominy Is Regarded hy
Some Oregon Housekeepers.
The cheapest food that can be placed on
an Oregon table Is wheat hominy. In
fact. Its cheapness is so extreme that It
-works against Its general introduction.
The wheat can be obtained at retail in
Portland at 1 cent a pound, while in the
interior a whole "bushet may be bought
for 50 cents. Wheat does not have to
come from a foreign clime, pay a big
duty on entering the seaport, and provide
for half a dozen profits of middle men
who handle it, and yet those who use
wheat hominy say it is the most nutritious
of all foods, "and contains all the material
necessary for building up body and brain.
A housekeeper of Portland wno recom
mends wheat hominy says It Is the health
iest food children can eat, and that the
young folks prefer It to rice, tapiocca,
corn starch or pearl barley when it Is
cooked to suit them. It can be eaten and
flavored like corn hominy, or it can be
made into puddings with the addition of
eggs, milk and sugar.
Wheat hominy is prepared from tho
grains. Just as corn hominy Is. A lye is
made of oak wood ashes, and the hulls
of the grain are removed by an Immer
sion In this. Afterward the lye Is washed
off and the grains are boiled. That is all
there is to It. but its cheapness is still in
the way, and so wheat hominy would be
more appreciated in tho Philippine Islands
or in Alaska than hi Oregon.

BRYAN TARRIES AN HOUR
HIGH PIIIEST OF DEMOCRACY
TAKES DINNER HERB.
He Is Met by Local Fusionlsts nt Ore
eon City Points In n Brief
Interview.
"I am very much pleased to see The
Oregonlan oppose the Puerto RIcan tariff
bill," said Colonel William Jennings Bry
an, last evening; "but I am very much
surprised that The Oregonlan -does not sec
that the same question will arise when
we come to deal with the Philippine Is
lands. "If we hold the Philippines, the Filipi
nos must be either citizens or subjects.
They cannot become citizens without en
dangering our civilisation; they cannot be
come subjects without endangering our
form of free government."
"Is the silver question dead?" was
asked.
"No," was the reply. "The Republican
editors say It Is, but they know that it Is
not. If the silver question Js vdead, why
did the Republican party add an amend
ment to the currency bill reviving the
hopo of International blmetallsm? If that
was a fraud, as I believe It was, -what do
the people generally think of a party that
attempts to practice a fraud on the Amer
ican people?
"An editorial, explaining how we can
have a permanent bank currency based on
bonds, without a permanent debt, would
be Interesting to Republican readers."
Colonel Bryan merely threw that out as
a suggestion. In a musing kind of way.
After speaking In Salem yesterday, the
great apcstle of free coinage of silver ar
rived at the East Side station of the
Southern Pacific, 10 minutes before. 7
o'clock last evening. He was accompa
nied from Salem by National Committee
man Townsend, of Polk County, State
Chairman Sheridan, of Roseburg, and
Thomas O'Day, of Portland. About 25 of
the Portland Democratic, Populistic and
Silver Republican leaders met the Bryan
party at Oregon City, and came on to
Portland with them. Among these were:
Dr. G. M. Wells, chairman of the County
Central Committee; Dell Stuart, Francis
Clarno, George E. Chamberlain, S?neca
Smith. George L Hutchin, J. T. MHner,
L. L. Wllhelm, Alex Sweek. A. J. Knott.
Dr. John Welch, J. C. Welch and W. B.
Adams, and J. C. Cooper and F.' S. Hard
ing, of McMInnvIlle.
Colonel Bryan was driven from the East
Portland Station to Watson's restaurant,
where he dined, as the guest of D. M.
Watson. A crowd estimated at from sev
eral hundred toiseyeral thousand, accord
ing to the Imaginative powers of the esti
mators, assembled in front of the restau
rant and patiently waited In the rain and
darkness for a glimpse of the great speech
maker, while that gentleman was enjoy
ing the bluepolnts and grouse. Seated at
the table with Colonel Bryan were: D.
M. Watson, Judge O'Day, N. A. Miller, of
Lebanon; Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Town
send. The crowd outside, while not par
ticularly demonstrative, was good-natured
and punctuated the tedious waiting with
frequent applause. There were only a
hundred or so people at the East Portland
depot when the train arrived, and about
the same number gathered at the Union
station, when the party boarded the train
for Eastern Oregon.
Colonel Bryan looked well. He was un
ostentatiously dressed In plain black. He
wore a soft hat, turn-down collar, black
tlo and that winning, benevolent smile
that Is one of his trump cards. He was
a little hoarse, and had a pink carnation
In his lapel; otherwise he seemed to be In
splendid trim.
Colonel Bryan was accompanied to Pen
dleton by Messrs. Sheridan and Townsend
and Lieutenant-Governor Thurston Dan
iels, of Washington.

were compelled to witness Inflicted on a

attached- to a cart, and the driver was
trying to drive, him southward. It Js stated
by those who saw the occurrence that he

and about the body In a shameful man
ner. He beat the horse when he went
along and beat him when hq stopped. Sev

the horse, but that seemed to have little

of mind to Inflict the same punishment
on any one who dared to Interfere. Final

IDENTITY ESTABLISHED.
Coleman Arrested nt Hlllsboro Is De.
fnnltins' Cleric Shanklin.
Evidence Is fast closing around J. W.
Shanklln, alias Coleman, arrested in HIlls
boro two days ago as the defaulting City
J Clerk of Fresno, Cal. Requisition papers
j are being made for his return, and with
in a very short time the California offi
cers will appear and demand the prisoner.
From telegraphic communication and
comparing the man with the likeness,
there seems no doubt that the right man
has been caught. In this city alone there
la convincing- evidence, as he has been
Identified positively by two prominent cit
izens, who say the photograph is an ex
act likeness.
C. H. Markham, general freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pacific,
lived in Fresno for a few years and be
came well acquainted with Shanklin then.
He was for a period editor of the Fresno
Daily Republican, and later mixed In pol
itics, and was elected City Clerk. Mr.
Markham says Shanklln was a prominent
member of the 100,000 Club,, a strong com
mercial organization of the city.
W. W. Phillips, cashier of the Alnsworth
National Bank, Is very well acquainted
with Shanklin, having known him since
he was a boy. Mr. Phillips lived there
for many years, and while engaged In the
fruit business became familiar with
Shanklln's career from the time he drift
ed from lite father's care until his deficit
and absconding. When shown the embez
zler's picture last evening he smiled and
said:
"Yes, that is 'Little Blllee.' Fresno will
be veTy glad to learn that he has fallen
into the toils, as his year's absence gave
tho impression that he had gone to Mex
ico for good. I have known the man
since boyhood. His father was a me
chanic of good standing in the town. The
boy grew up and drifted into politics,
soon after which he became Interested
as part owner In the Fresno Dally Re
publican, a newspaper published there.
After a few years' management, he gave
this up and ran for the office of City
Clerk, to which he was elected. The City
Clerk is the officer who collects all city
licenses, etc.. which brought Into Shank
lln's hands considerable money. He was
addicted to playing poker a great deal,
with the result that considerable city
funds went over the table to meet his
losses. About that time his first term ex
pired, and he was a candidate for renom
inatlon, when his defalcations began to
leak out. It was ascertained that he
was behind S20CO. but ho and his friends
said they could raise the amount and
make the shortage good, upon which the
trustees allowed him time to carry out
his plans. However, the deficit, or some
other cause, worked his defeat, as he
was unable by $1000 to secure the sum
required. When he realized he had
failed he left Fresno between night and
morning, to the surprise of the trustees,
but not to the surprise of the citizens
generally, who had occasion before to
warn them of such a .contingency. In
fact, the citizens had become so suspicious
that a detective had been employed by
them to watch Shanklln, but he gave the
officer the dodge and got away effect
ually. The belief there was that he had
gone to Mexico. Since his departure, a
year ago, he bad not been heard of until
the present time. His bondsmen paid to
the city the amount of their guaranty,
$1000, and the rest was the city's loss.
The citizens have since been trudging
through dusty streets and groping about
In darkness at night, as a result of "Lit
tle BHIee's" shortage, and they all will
doubtless be In a state of mind to enjoy
the news of his arrest and prospective
punishment. His arrest will be a sur
prise to Fresno, I am sure, as nothing
has been heard of Shanklln for a long
time."

DEMOCRATS JfOT LIKELY TO NAME

ferred Several AVceks Ward Ite
pnblicnn Club Meetings.
Thomas O'Day Is authority for the state
ment that there was never any intention
to hold a caucus of delegates to the Demo
cratic convention, at his office last nlsht,
since the County Central Committee voted
down that suggestion Tuesday night.
Judge O'Day said he believed the resort
was started by enemies of the party to
stir up discord.
Althouirh no caucus of delegates has
been called or -will be held, lots of Quiet
talk is going on among the leaders. Some
of the workers are In favor of nominating
as strong a ticket as possible, and at once
begin an aggressive campaign; others be
lieve it will be the better policy to elect
delegates to the state convention and then
adjourn for about three weeks. Among
tho latter class, are the prospective nomi
nees, who believe that a short campaign
will eliminate much of the leg-pulllnir
from which many of them have suffered
during former campaigns. Then It is ar
gued that tho Republicans are In power
and should take the initiative in naming
men and measures.
It now seems probable that no candi
dates will be nominated Saturday.

IN BEHALF OF SONGSTERS.
Dr., TV. R. iord Talks to Children
About Protection of Birds.
Dr. TV. R. Lord, of the Unitarian Churcb
gave the pupils- of the Brooklyn School,
Mllwaukie street, an interesting talk ou
birds, yesterday afternoon, by request of
Miss DImlck. the principal. D. P. Thomp-
' son, now a member of the Board of Di
rectors, and president or tne uregon .Hu
mane Society, wag present with Mr. Lord,
who began by commenting on the Ignor
ance, prevailing concerning the birds, and
especially the beautiful songsters that
sing at the very doors of people's houses,
and he said he feared that some of the
boys not all of them were more inclined
to use air guns than to etudy their naturea
and hablta And yet, he said, these song

birds that are so common about us. Thero
Is the robin, with its many different songs,
that sings its melody on all sides. Out in
the Ladd tract one could see and hear
that wonderful songster, the skylark. Tho
speaker told how the skylark would rise
from the field, singing its songs and thrill-
lng as it gradually mounted up Into tho
sky. Over and over again this wonderful
bird would rise and then return to tho
ground. Mr. Lord called attention to the
fact that the skylark Is an Importation,
Then he mentioned the meadow lark and
the white crown sparrow that may be seen
and heard In the open fields on the East
Side. There also is the russet-back thrush
that twits its lays at the door. Mr. Lord
said that the acquaintances of these birds
might be cultivated by feeding them, and
that he had a picture showing a young
woman iiving at Oregon City covered with
these wild birds as she was feeding them.
The speaker made an earnest appeal for
the bird3, and said that It was a wronjr
thing to kill the beautiful songsters and
put them on the hats of women, and re
marked that In many places the destruc
tion of birds for this purpose had sadly
depleted them. It was no way to show
love for the birds to kill them and wear
them for ornaments. In closing, Mr. Lord
said that back In St. Louis was a school
of 700 children who, by their zeal for the
protection of the birds, were called the
"Knights and Ladles of tho Birds," and
he hoped that the pupils of Brooklyn
School would enroll themselves as "The
Knights and Ladles of Oregon Birds."
At the close of the address, Mr. Thomp.
son made a few remarks, In which he
said that tho annual meeting of the Ore
gon Humane Society would take place In
May, and that It would pay every child
who could do so to attend. The principal
of the school remarked that the pupils
would take up the subjects that had been
suggested by Dr. Lord in the classroom.

FOOD RULES COMPLEXION.
Medicines of y3 Avail TVhcn Im
proper Food Id Persisted In.
A young lady whose first name is Blos
som, and who was for many years mis
named, but is now properly named, tella
some Interesting facts about hex efforts to
clear up her complexion, which In splto
of all sorts of medicines and wash.es,
face bleaches, etc, etc., were ineffective,
because the root of the difficulty was net
removed.
Her own story Is Interesting. "From
childhood up, I, with my sisters and
brothers, have been allowed the use of
hntli ten. and coffee. After I became a
' young lady of course It was no more than
human that I should wish for a beautiful
complexion like several of my companions.
but which I did not have. Many different
courses were taken to accomplish my end,
such as applying face bleach, taking bot
tles and bottles of cleansing medicines,
etc., all to no purpose.
"My older sister had learned before mo
thftt rnffeft was tho root of the difficulty.
and urged me to "begin taking hot water.

In so weak and unpalatable a beverage.
While visiting a friend one day, I ac
cepted a cup of coffee (as I supposed),
when I noticed that this particular cof
fee had a hundred per cent better tasto
than the coffee we had been In the habit
of using. Upon Inquiring for the receipt
of this very pleasing beverage, I learned
that I had partaken of tho noted Postum
Cereal Food Coffee.
"I had struck the goal at last. This
was the morning beverage that I wanted,
and this, it turned out. was the secret of
the beautiful complexion of my friend. Of
course we immediately commenced uclng
It in our home, and I want to say that
today not a more healthy, robust family
Is to be found In the United Stater, and
the fact Is attributable to our abandon
ment of coffee and the use ot Postum
Gereal Food Coffee." Wo do not feel dis
posed to publish the full name of 3IfeS
Blossom, but the name can be gsvcnio
those interested, by letter to the 'Posum
Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. Tho
young lady lives in Traverse City, Mjch.
It may be of interest to know that
many of tho young ladles' seminaries
throughout the country have discontinued
the use of coffee and ai-e using Postum
Food Coffee. A letter from Rev. Alex
Burr, Secretary of the Seattle, Wash..
Young Ladles Seminary, recites: "We aro
using Pcstum Cereal Food Coffee on tho
table, greatly to the satisfaction oil tho
faculty and a large number of boarding
students."
