Prich op Butter Stiffexino. The
price of butter was advanced a this city
esterday from 35 to 40 cents per roli,
with but slight prospects of any reduc
tion this season. From this It appears
that all the talk about over-production
and low prices "which has Leen
fceard of late was premature and with
out reasonable foundation. At ths time
of year when grass is plentiful 40 cents
Is a price for butter which should be
more satisfactory to the producer than
.the consumer. As the demand for home
consumption and the Alaska and Philip
pine trade has taken up nearly the en
tire output of the creameries, and only J
a few tons nave been placed In coid stor
age as a reserve, the chances are
that when "Winter comes, If not before,
butter will have to be Imported, and a
suffering public -will have to pay as hlgn
a price as heretofore for this undesirable
article. Persons who "have been contem
plating going Into the creamery business
need not be dlocouraged, but should pre
pare themselves with ensilage, root crops
and everything that Is necessary to keep
up their output during the Winter when,
butter Is high, and need not become weary
if the consumer should be abie to get a
chance to draw his breath for a month
or so In the grass season, and secure his
butter supply at something less than 30
cents per pound.
Represents Oregon at Paris. The
New York Tribune of May 14 published
n portrait of Mrs. Jane C Card, of Port
land, with the following notice: "Airs.
Jane C. Card, -Rbo sails today for Paris,
has been appointed by Governor Geer, ot
Oregon, to represent that state at the
dedication of the Washington and La Fay
ette statues on America Day, July 4, 19u0,
in Paris. Mrs. Card was the first prefcl
dent of the Woman's Club, of Portland,
Or., Is chairman of the floral section of
the State Horticultural Society; is State
Regent of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, and was a delegate to the
National Federation of Woman's Clubs
at Louisville. She Is interested in many
lines of work, being also on the board
of managers of the Babies' Home, and
was manager for two yeare of the Wo
man's Department of the Portland Expo
sition." Tibsot Lecture Tonight. Dr. Edgar
P. Hill received yesterday five more Tts
sot slides, which he says are among the
finest of the collection, the one entitled
"Jesus and His Mother at the Fountain"
being a veritable gem. The lectures have
attracted much attention throughout the
state. A9torla, Albany Oregon City and
McMInnfvIlle nave already arranged for
evenings. This evening Mr. Courssn will
render a few organ numbers whlie the
audience Is garnering. So great has been
the demand tor tickets that the full ca
pacity of the church was so'.d last Fr.
day. Consequently no tickets will be sold
at the door this evening, "but arrange
ments have been made for a repetition
of the lecture tomorrow evening.
Opposition to Street Sprinkler. The
electric sprinkler started out jesterday
morning, but before It had gone far a
regular Oregon mist propelled by a lively
breeze, commenced laying the dust, and
as It was In earnest and swished water
around in true Webfoot style, the sprink
ler withdrew from the contest, and re-
turned to the barn. No mere human in
vention, even when aided by all the pow
ers of electricity, can expect successfully
to compete In the way of street sprinkling
with even a midget of an Oregon mist.
The sprinkler, however, need not feel dis
couraged, as it will have plenty of
chances to distinguish Itself before Sum
mer and Fall are past, and the "later"
rains commence.
No Street Cars to Rivervibw. Many
persons have been anxious to learn wheth
er the electric railway to Rlverview ceme
tery would be operated on Memorial Day
to accommodate the large number of per
sons who will desire to visit the cemetery
on that day. H. C. Campbell, manager of
the City & Suburban Railway, states that
this road will be In process of demolition
at that time, and, therefore. It cannot
be operated. Persons who are desirous
of visiting the cemetery on Memorial Day
will, therefore, have to take the cars of
the Southern Pacific Company, or by
river steamer, or private conveyance. It
is understood that one or more steamers
will ply between the city and the ceme
tery on that day.
Will Add Two Stories. Two more
stories are to be added to the Hotel Per
kins this Fall, according to Manager
Charles McEirath, and this Improvement
will furnish 100 additional rooms. The
building Is now six stories in height, but
was supplied with a truss roof when first
built, so as to admit of additional stories.
The building material for the new stories
Is to be elevated on the Fifth street side,
and the arrangements will be so perfect
that the guests will hardly be aware that
anything is going on while the brick wails
are being built skyward. The Improve
ment will cost 525,000.
Bicycle Exhibition. "Rube" Shields
and his brother, Frank, the famous trick
fclcycle riders, are at The Portland, and
will give a free exhibition tonight on
Sixth street, north of Washington. The
latter appears In fancy tights, does all
the tricks ever seen on a blcycie and
others never before seen on a wheel,
while the former, as his name suggests,
does his turn in a farmer make-up, and
his act, as ho terms It, Is "doing nothing. '
They have showed In every state In the
Union, with the exception of Montana.
His Ete Badlt Injured. C. J. Ham
mell, a young man engaged In logging at
Ostrander, Wash., is In the city to have
his left eje operated on In consequence
of a piece of steel having entered It from
a wedge he was driving Into a log with
a sledge. The metal which entered tho
eyeball was nhout the size and shape of
a shingle nail, he says, and the attending
oculist thinks the sight of the eye has
been permanently injured, though the eje
may not have to be removed.

around to the buoy depot at Astoria to
undergo a thorough overhauling. There
is considerable work to be done on her.
and it Is not known how long It will take
to get through with the job, but Captain
Day, Lighthouse Inspectdr, says the
work will be pushed with vigor, in order
to get her back In her station as soon
as possible. The electric lights on her
are to be removed and replaced by the oil
lamps In common use. The Umatilla Reef
ivas the only electric lightship on this
coast, and just why the electric lights are
to be removed Is not known, but the
change has been ordered by the Depart
ment. Memorial Day. The Memorial Day

Army Hall Sunday afternoon. Consider
able business was transacted. The pro
gramme of exercises will soon be ready

Native Sons of Harrisburo. Enoch
Holt's Cabin, No. 20, Native Sons of Ore
gon, gave a successful entertainment last
Saturday evening at the City Hall, Hams
burg, the occasslon being a visit from

was a large gathering of pioneers and
Native Sons and Daughters. After the
entertainment a special meeting of Enoch

The cabin Is in a flourishing condition,
and the Native Daughters will a9 or
ganize a cabin there. There will be a
large attendance from Harrlsburg In
Portland June 14, during the Grand Cabin
meeting.
Mount Tabor Berries. Receipts of
strawberries from Mount Tabor district
were quite large yesterday, and but for
the. shower which put a stop to plcklns
early In the forenoon, would have beeir
much larger. They wholesaled at 10 cents
per hox, some Inferior ones for lees. Hood
River herrlcs sold wholesale at 10 to 12
cents per box, so there Is not likely to
be many more received here from Hood
River this season, and California berries
are shut out. The crop In the Mount
Tabor district bids fair to be large and
of good quality, and If the weather is
fine for a few daje will fully meet tho
demands of this market.
Tomorrow Night's Concert. It is a
triple function. Primarily It was a cele
bration of Queen Victoria's birthday. To
this was added the laudable purpose of
augmenting the Oregon Volunteers' Mon-
ument fund by giving the entire proceeds
to that object. And now 'the news from
South Africa has given occasion for
great rejoicing to Clan Macleay and their
friends. Therefore, the concert at the Ar
mory tomorrow night will be more than
a concert. It will he a big celebration
from start to finish.
Real Estate Sold at Auction. The
quarter block at the northeast corner of

known as the Burnslde Hotel, was sold
at auction at the Courthouse door for

CHESTERFIELD OBJECTS.
Says Letters of Inquiry Mniit Be Ac
companied WItli Return Postnsc.
207 Sixth street Is about the busiest
place in town. For the past several days
scores and scores of peop.e have tried to
get Into the sanctum sanctorum of Grant
Chesterfield to have their palms read and
have failed. Yesterday the wonder-worker
was Inundated with mall, and two sec
retarles were kept busy. ' Tnls cannot
be kept up," said Mr. Chesterfield. "I
wish you would be kind enough to say
that all letters of Inquiry regarding tne
reading of pa,ms through the mall should
be accompaniea with a z-cent postage
stamp and thereby assure the sender of
attention. I shall do all I can to keep
abreast with this tide, and am talking
steadily 12 hours a day. I shall see all
the people I can, so long as I remain,
but I must Insist that postage be en
closed." The fee for an oral reading Is
50 cents.
AS YOU ARE GOING TO CAPE NOME.
After a conversation with John Poole,
foot of Morrison street, who has had
16 years' experience with windmills, it
behooves me to suggest that which Is tho
most practicable and also the cheapest
Eower for pumping water and sand on the
each In the vicinity of Nome. From all
reliable reports I have received from that
region, there Is no lack of wind to oper
ate a windmill 20 out of 24 hours. This
being the fact, and fuel so enormously
high. Is It not worth your while to consult
Mr. Poole, who Is authority on the use of
windmills and pumping machinery?
We notice he has also one of the most
Practical and unique goldsavlng machines
that has ever come to our notice, and It
will surely pay any goldseoker "to investi
gate his machinery. A visit to his estab
lishment, foot of Morrison street, will con
vince the most skeptical.

Brilliant Gathering at the Hotel
Portias d Speeches fejr Blitin-
grHlhcd Orator.
The banquet given at the Hotel Portland
last night by the laity of the Archdiocese
of Oregon to Most Rev. Sebastian Mar
tlnelll was a. brilliant affair. Distin
guished citizens of Portland sit at the
board and spoke words of welcome to the
honored guest of the evening. Manager
Bowers admirable taste was In evldenco
In the decorations. Tall vases of Jap
anese popples. Intermingled with fern,
sat at Intervals along the tatles. while
between them were long bankii of beau
tiful roses. Palms scattered about the
rcom lent an exotic air to tho room.
On the right of James Gleason, who
acted as toastmaster. sat Monslgnore
Martlnelll. and on his left Archbishop
Christie. At the head of the table sat
also George H. Williams, Henry E. Mc
Ginn, Mayor Storey. ex-Senator John H.
Mitchell, Dan J. Malarkey and other
prominent citizens and clergymen.
When the guests had concluded the dis
cussion of an excellent menu, Mr. Glea
son arose and in eloquent wordn welcomed
the guest of the evening. His spoke ot
the first visit of Catholic missionaries to
Oregon in 1S40, of tho growth of the
church In the state since that time, of
the great work In the civilization and
Christlanlzatlon of the world, and In con
clusion expressed the Joy of the Catholic
laity in entertaining so distinguished a
representative of the church, and their
solicitude for his future succens and wel
fare. When the applause that followed his re
marks had subsided, he Introduced Judge
Henry E. McGinn, who responded to the
toast, "The President of the United
States." The great responsibilities which
have devolved upon the President as a
result of the accession of the Philippines
was dwelt upon by the speaker, and the
great possibilities open before him in
sending Catholic missionaries among the
1 benighted natives. He spoke of the grow
1 Ing spirit of harmony among all relig
ions and all parties, of the patriotism of
a united people, which as omt man stood
by the President during the crisis of a
war.
"I do not believe." said he, "that the
golden age of the Republic Is In the past,
but in the future. I do not believe that
the Republic will be destroyed because
of the, new conditions confronting us. be
cause the people will not allow it to be
destroyed. The heart of the people of
the United States beats In sympathy with
William McKInley, not because they agreo
with all his policy, but because they know
his motives to b pure and his actions
, directed by motives of the highest pa
triotism. I believe the historian of the
future will pay willing irlutu to the un
sullied honor of this noble President."
Enthusiastic applause followed Judge
McGinn's address, which had hardly died
away whqn the toastmaster Introduced
Archbishop Christie, and the crowd broke
Into cheers.
"Leo XIII" was the toast to which
Archlshop Christie responded.
The speech was brief. With fitting rever
ence, the speaker alluded to the great
"worth of the spiritual father of the church,
T1 encyclicals of the pope, he said, were
among his noblest works, and assured Mon-
signoro .aiarunem mat wnen ne returned
to Kome ne couia lniorm nui master tnat
bishops, priests and laity of the great
State of Oregon would jgndcr to him the
obedience which was hfT due
Judge Williams, who was introduced by
Mr. Gleaeon as a man who was 70 years
young not old delivered the address of
the evening. He was not i.ure, he said,
what his old mother -would have said if
-J J!2S SSL.1
lates of the Catholic church. When he
was a boy ne was afraid o two things
Catholics and bears and a picture of thp
cremation of John Rogers, by the Cath
olics, which he had seen in his first school
reader, made a lasting impression on hla
mind.
Judge Williams then told how his early
prejudices against the church had been
dispelled by later reading. He related
many humorous anecdotes of his youtnful
church-going, and of the stern views of
the Presbyterians, amone whom he grew
up.
In conclusion, and In alluding to Mon
slgnore Martlnelll, he said: "I hope our
guest will enjoy his stay In Portland,
and that when he goes away he will carry
pleasing recollections of what he has eeen
here and especially of this splendid ban
quet." Mayor Storey, In a brief speech, ex
tended the welcome of the city to the dis
tinguished visitor.
"Patriotism" was the toast to which
John M. Gearln responded. He referred
first to the patriotism of the candidate
and the glorious ante-election experiences
which build it up and foster it, For the
candidate, he said, he had a fellow-feeling.
Ho had some knowledge of this, and there
were others.
Turning from the lighter vein of his in
troduction, Mr. Gearln awakened with
eloquence the sentiments of his auditors
The underlying current of patriotism which
saves at the last the American people In
their periodical outbursts of campaign ex
citement were touched upon, and the cer
tainty that no menace to the American
people could come from without if they
remained united was made plain.
"Patriotism," said he, "li the hand that
rocks the cradle of a nation. It Is the
very life-blood of Its existence. Cam
paign pageants are but the outward move
ments that set the hearts of the Nat'on
throbbing." He spoke of the crowning ol
American arms with success on San Juan
Hill and of the National spirit which
made that victory possible. As he spoke
his hearers listened Intently to his words,
now and then bursting into uncontrollable
applause.
He concluded with a glowing tribute to
the church, and with the hope that the
next time Monslgnore Martlnelll vleitcd
America he might add to the purple he
had conferred on Archbishop Christie the
cardinal that all trusted time would make
his.
Calls for Father York arose amid the
plaudits that followed Mr. Gearln's speech,
and that popular orator entertained the
guests with a pleasant talk In his char
acteristic vein.
"Tho toast "The Laity" was responded to
by W. M. Kaiser; the "Catholic Societies"
by Dan J. Malarkey, and "The Ladles" by
John Hcltkemper.

FEED WHEAT TO HOGS.
Umatilla Coanty Farmers Find Pork
ralslaff Profitable.
A. Johnson, a pioneer farmer of Uma
tilla County, was In the city yesterday, on
his way to the grand lodge of Odd Fel
lows, at Astoria. He has been raising
wheat on a large scale near Athena for
27 years, and says present crop prospects
axe better than ever known at this season.
He finds that the soil In his locality does
not wear out through constant "cropping"
and be estimates the yeld on Summer fal
low, this year, at 50 bushels to the acre,
while Fall and Spring-sown grain on land
that produces crops annually has a strong
growth, that promises to break the record.
"What to do with our wheat Is the ques
tion that bothers most of us farmers."
Mr. Johnson said yesterday, "as last sea
son's crop Is mostly In first hands, and
warehouse room will be very scarce. I have
between 3000 and 4000 sacks still unsold,
and I will haul It back from the station
and feed It to the hogs, before I will take
less than 45 cents for it.
"Feeding to hogs Is as good a way to
dispose of wheat as any, at the present
price of pork-3 and 7 cents on foot. Wheat
fed to hogs will bring 40 cents a bushel. If
hogs keep up a good many farmers will
dlsposo of their wheat mat way, In the
near future, or as soon &s stocks of hogs
can be obtained."
Mr. Johnson's farm lies Just on the edge
of the Umatilla reservation, and he has
a good chance to observe how the Indians
progress under the recently Instituted pol
icy of allotment In severalty. The Uma
tlllas now collect rent on their lands,
which they have leased to white farmers,
at Jl 25 to J5 per acre, cash. These aborig
inal landowners don't have to work, but
are quite content to lay around their te
pees, on the Umatilla River, and drink
whisky, while their money lasts. The half
breeds ore allowed to buy all the liquor
they want, and so they purchase It for
the full-bloods, too. The Indians, how
ever, do not lie around town when they
get drunk, but hasten to their settlements
with all speed, being afraid of arrest If
they linger too long near tho white habi
tations. High living and whisky, Mr. Johnson
thinks, are killing off tho Indians very rap
idly, as they cannot stand too much pros
perity. An Indian will fill himself up
with the richest kind of canned goods,
absorbing three or four times as much as
a white man, and then he Is sick for three
days, and unable to eat anything.
The half-breeds are not going to last
very long, either, Mr. Johnson says, as
they are prone to consumption, not pos
sessing the constitution of either their
French or aboriginal ancestors.
The Indians do not seem to possess any
business qualifications in the cultivation
or management of their lands, and those
who have attempted to farm on their
own account have "'lasted quick." Mr.
Johnson can see no other prospect than
complete extermination for the Umatilla
Indians, and that In a remarkably short
space ot time.

For Youngster
The suits we sell for boys have more than
one strong- point.
In addition to first quality fabrics our
suits are right in the making, and there's
lots of fault to find with the way most boys'
clothes are put together, as every mother
will attest. Only the best of silk tr linen
thread is used. Seams double-stitched, lin
ings and "stays" of strongest materials. In
some cases there are reinforced seat and
knees.
We're more than a step ahead of the
others in the quality and construction of
our boys' clothes. But our prices are not a
bit higher.
