Articles of Incorporation to
Be Filed Today,
THE CAPITAL STOCK IS $300,000
Legislature to Be Asked for Aid and
Congress for n Liberal Appropria
tion Asiinrance of Indorse
ment From "Washington.
The 1905 fair, to celebrate the 100th anni
versary of the Lewis and Clark expedi
tion, will take definite form today. City
Attorney J. M. Long, president of the
joint committee of the Board of Trade
and the Manufacturers' Association, left
for Salem last night to file with Secretary
of State Dunbar articles incorporating the
fair for $300,000, with shares at $10 each.
The Incorporators are H. W. Scott, Judge
Charles B. Bellinger, L. B. Cox. H. W.
Corbett, Henry Hahn, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, Samuel Connell,
president of the Board of Trade; E. Ehr
man, of Mason, Ehrman & Co.; R. W.
Lewis, of Allen & Lewis, and J. M. Long.
Mr. Scott has been designated to select
a name for the fair.
Mr. Long will ask the Legislature today
to pass a resolution guaranteeing state
aid to the fair and a resolution asking
Congress for an appropriation. The
amounts will be decided upon after a con
ference with the members of the Legis
lature. The large appropriation made by
Congress for the St. Louis exhibition
leads Mr. Long to believe that a liberal
amount will be set aside for the Portland
fair and that the Government will make
a fine exhibit.
The "Washington Legislature has been
Eounded on the subject of indorsing the
Lewis and Clark fair. Mr. Long says he
has assurances that the State of "Wash
ington will do Its part.
cast is composed of thoroughly competent
artists, and the play has made one of
the greatest hits of the season. The play
was written by Lincoln J. Carter, author
of the "Fast Mall," "Heart of Chicago,"
"Down in Mobile," and many other suc
cesses; the scenery is by Messrs. Buhler
and Mann, the well-known scenic artists.

On February 5, 189S, Leonora Jackson
made her London debut at a Queen's
Hall symphony concert and won with the
Fourth Concerto of VIeuxtemps sensa

London's foremost critics, said in the
Sunday Times: "Miss Jackson has pos
itive genius. It is seldom we have seen
a large representative English audience
so moved by so youthful an artist." Leo

The country has always an eager eye
for the announcement of a Sousa concert
and never falls to respond with a ready
purse. With the present announcement
that Sousa and his band are coming to
the Marquam Grand Tuesday afternoon
and evening, February 2G, goes the as
surance that the public will be out in
full force and make the most of the op
portunity to enjoy whatever novelties the
"March King" may put before them.
MRS. FISKE TONIGHT.
"Will Appear in "Becky Sharp" at
tbe Mnrqnam.
Mrs. Fiske's great production of "Becky
Sharp," with this famous actress In the
name part, will be seen at the Marquam
Grand tonight and tomorrow night. "Tess"
will be the bill Saturday night. In
"Becky Sharp" Mrs. Fiske has a charac
ter perfectly suited to her. This char
acter Is one that stands out above all
others In one of the greatest novels ever
written. There is no actress on the stage
today and there seems to be no record
of any actress of former times so peculi
arly fitted to give a mental, as well as a
physical picture of Becky as Mrs. Fiske.
Her triumphs in the role wherever she
has been seen has been absolute.
- Mrs. Fiske's play Is founded upon the
adventures of Becky as Thackeray de
scribed them. And it introduces many of
the more prominent persons that figure
In the novel. While "Vanity Fair" is
filled with matters of minor Interest, the
prime interest of the novel attaches to
Becky and those concerned in her adven
tures. Thus, a play devoted to Becky and
to them practically exhausts the prime
dramatic material In the novel. "Vanity
Fair." as its name indicates, describes
worldly persons and their weaknesses,
their strengths for good or. evil, and their
successes or their defeats, as they are
deserved. It Is a story with, a strong
moral, yet Is still one of the most fasci
nating stories ever written.
Mrs. Fiske will be supported by an ex
cellent company, numbering, with the ex
tra people that take part In the scene of
the ball and all of these are actors some
50 persons. The scenery Is very hand
some, and the scene of the ball, with Its
many figures, all costumed richly, accord
ing to the modes of the time, present a
very effective picture. The costumes are
particularly noteworthy. They were de
signed by Percy Anderson, of London,
and reproduce the civil and military dress
of the day, from the best authorities,
every detail being accurate.
The Cockatoo Circus.
Cockatoos are handsome birds and are
seldom seen outside of zoological gardens.
Those shown by Professor Montague at
135 Third street, corner Alder, dally, this
week, are picked specimens of the kind
and their performances are unique and
far superior to anything heretofore seen
in bird exhibitions. Ladles and children
aro the principal visitors during the day,
and in the evening a regular first-class
theater public patronizes the entertain
ment. Music and comfortable chairs add
to tho enjoyment of all who attend:
GRESHAM OIL FIELDS.

Making a
Mr. Shattuck. of Gresham, speaking
yesterday of the bonding of farms for oil
prospecting, said that he did not know
whether or not petroleum would be struck
In Powell's Valley. He said he knew that
there Is plenty of money behind the en
terprise, and that the promoters certain
ly will proceed with the work of sinking
a test well. It costs about $10,000 to drill
an oil well from 1000 to 1500 feet. The
work wil be undertaken, as the persons
who have been bonding farms are con
fident they will strike oil.
"The Eleventh Hour."
"The Eleventh Hour." a comedy-drama
in five acts, will be presented at Cor
dray's Theater next Sunday night. It
contains many bright situations and cli
maxes, and most gorgeous scenery, the
East Side Notes.

"MOTHS."
Shirley Company In a Nevr Dill
Cordrny'H.
at
The bill presented by the Shirley Com
pany at Cordray's last nght was "Moths,"
the well-known dramatization of Oulda's
novel. While the play does not afford
the company quite as favorable an op
portunity to display Its strength as does
"The Country Girl." still it abounds in
intensely dramatic situations, is sufllclent
ly intricate In plot to keep the Interest
of the audience, and the action Is strong
and even. The comedy Is quiet hut none
the less effective and Is all the more
appreciated because ofIts contrast with
the rather tragic story.
As Vcre Herbert, Miss Shirley shows
that she is a versatile as well as talented
actress. Her emotional work is never
overdone, and the situations in which
she figures are always well sustained.
The audience was fully In sympathy with
her from the first and frequent bursts of
applause bespoke Its appreciation.
The character of Raphael de Corezze
was well cared for by William R. Abram.
H. W. Gilbert made a good Prince, Miss
Marie Baker as Lady Vanderduken was
acceptable. Miss Meta Marspy made an
admirable Duchess, and Miss Bond was
all the part of Fuschla Leach called for.
"Moths" will be repeated tonight. To
morrow night "Little Lord Fauntleroy."
Jay Gould Stopped, the Building,
Mont of the Officers Resigned,
No Meeting for Eight Years.
Mystery has followed the Portland &
Puget Sound Railroad Company from the
beginning and today there Is as much
mystery as ever regarding its exact
status. The records of the corporation do
not show the relations that are under
stood in well-informed circles to exist. It
has no officers except a second vice-president
and an assistant secretary, both of
fices being held by one man, W. W. Cot
ton. No meeting of stockholders or di
rectors has been held for eight years or
more. When the Union Pacific system
went Into receivership in 1E93 the Port
land & Puget Sound was involved In some
way, and the officers soon afterward re
signed. Since then there has been no one
to look after the property, and everything
portable has been scattered, by means of
tax sales and In other ways. And even
now, when there Is such activity to get
possession of the old right of way and
grade, which constitutes the only tang
ible property of the corporation, there
seems no disposition to revive the organ
ization or to take steps to protect Its
corporate Interests.
As a matter of fact, the records of the
Portland & Puget Sound Railroad Com
pany reveal very little of the real history
of the concern. It Is a matter of public
record, of course, that it started in Ore
gon with an authorized capital of $2,500.
000. which was afterward Increased to
fo,000,000. The organization was effected
in September, 1SS9. The work of actually
building the road between Portland and
Puget Sound was begun in June, JS90.
Between JL500.000 and 51,750,000 was spent
on the enterprise, when. In the Summer
of 1S91, the contractors were called off and
the road was left an unprotected orphan.
At the annual meeting, June 15, 1SS1, Jay
Gould succeeded Charles Francis Adams
In control of Union Pacific interests, and
that ended the Puget Sound railroad
project. Sidney Dillon was then made
president, S. H. H. Clark and W. W. Cot
ton vlcepresldents, C. W. Mink con
troller, Erastus Young Auditor, J. G. Har
ris treasurer. Alexander Millar secretary,
and W. W. Cotton assistant secretary.
Sidney Dillon died and at the last meet
ing of the board, held August 22. 1S92,
Mr. Clark was moved up from first vice
president and the vacancy thus created
was filled by the election of H. Y. Thomp
son. This would still be the official ros
ter but for the fact that most of the
officers formally resigned after the Union
Pacific failure in 1S93.
Kllpatrlck Bros. & Collins were a con
tracting firm that had been affiliated with
the Union Pacific They came to Portland
and undertook the survey for the road to
Puget Sound several months before the
Portland & Puget Sound Railroad Com
pany was organized. They were Instru
mental In organizing the new company,
the Incorporators of which were J. H.
Smith, of the contracting firm of Hale &
Smith; E. T. Johnson, a workman In the
employ of Kllpatrlck Bros. & Collins, and
Emil Adler. a man employed by the con
tracting firm of Hoffman & Bates.
Xo official Information Is available as
to just who subscribed to the stock of the
company, but It Is pretty well understood
that It was taken by Union Pacific Inter
ests: that Is, it was taken by the Oregon
Short Line, which was controled by the
Union Pacific It Is not alleged that the
Union Pacific had any closer connection
with the Puget Sound road than was ob
tained through its control of the Oregon
Short Line. The Great Xorthern Railroad
was not then built west of Montana, but
President Hill, It is understood, got a
half Interest in the new Portland & Puget
Sound enterprise, an interest through a
contract or In some way other than by
transfer of stock at the time. It lssnld
that one of the reasons for the suspen
sion of work on the road was that Mr.
HI1J did not come forward with his share I
oi tne money necessary to carry it on.
However that may be, he eventually paid
his share of the money and certificates of
Indebtedness were Issued to him and to
the Union Pacific. It Is presumed that Mr.
Hill still holds his Interest.
When Jay Gould came Into control of
Union Pacific affairs he gathered up a
lot of odds and ends of assets. Including
the certificate of Indebtedness from the
Portland & Puget Sound company, and
deposited them with a trust company In
Xew York, to secure a loan of $10,000 000.
It Is said that the Xorthern Pacific ob
tained control of this certificate a year or
two ago, w.hich constitutes Its present In
terest In the old 'Portland & Puget Sound
right of way and grade. Xearly all this
business was transacted In Xew York and
the details are not made public. Though
the nominal head of the Portland & Puget
Sound Railroad Company Is in Portland,
Its more Important affairs were all ar
ranged In New York.
It Is said that there Is nothing in the
way of making the Portland & Puget
Sound Company an active corporation the
moment those who control Its stock shall
desire and agree to do so. In order to hold
a legal meeting of the stockholders It is
necessary that a majority of the stock be
represented, and from lack of Interest or
some other cause, neither of the two In
terests has manifested any disposition to
meet the other and set the corporation
on its feet again. Xelther Hill
nor the Xorthern Pacific can con
trol more than half the stock,
therefore could not swing the cor
poration" "toward partisan ends. So it may
be that the present proceedings touching
the old right of way and grade are merely
for the purpose of clearing the title to the
property and eliminating the Portland &
Puget Sound Company from the situation.
Property to the value of about $250,000 be
longing to the Puget Sound line has al
ready been dissipated, and it Is possible
that the most practicable way to make use
of the remainder of the property Is to ex
tinguish any lingering rights the old cor
poration may have In the premises. Then
the question comes up. Who shall get
the property? This Is the question now
before , the court in Clark and Cowlitz
Counties.

Materials for Oregon City & South
ern Sent In Violation of Ordinance.
OREGOX CITY, Feb. 20. Considerable
comment was created this morning on ac
count of the Portland & Oregon City
Railway running flat cars through tho
city loaded with lumber and ties, which
were delivered to the Oregon City &
Southern Railway Company, at the south
end of Main street. A couple of weeks
ago the City Council made an order that
the motor line should not be permitted to
run freight cars through the city, and the
Chief of Police was directed to make ar
rests for violations of the order. Yester
day private parties, who had lumber
shipped from Portland, were compelled to
receive it outside the city limits and haul
It to Its destination by team. This is the
first violation of the City Council order,
but no arrests have been made.
The Oregon City & Southern Railway Is
pushing the construction of its road with
in the city limits In the direction of Cane
mah, and will have the work completed
within a day or two. Including the laying
of a new plank roadway and sidewalk and
properly relaying rails already down by
fastening them to regulation ties.
AGAINST GRADE CROSSINGS.
Bill Fanned by Senate Said to Be to
Cover Special Case.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 20. The Senate on
Tuesday night passed Senate bill 237. The
measure makes it a crime for any person,
firm or corporation to construct a railroad
track at grade across the tracks of an
other company, except at points within
the corporate limits of cities, and provides
how suits In equity may be begun to en
join any attempt to cross the tracks of
another company. A lobby has appeared
here to protest against the passage of the
measure, on the ground, as they say, that
it Is designed solely' to prevent the exten
sion of the Oregon City & Southern Rall-
Spcclal Meeting of Union Pacific
Shareholders Called.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. The Commercial
Advertiser says:
A call has been issued for a special
meeting of the shareholders of the Union
Pacific Railroad, In Salt Lake City, on I
March 23, fbr the purpose of considering
an Increase in the capital stock of the
company. A proposition will be submit
ted by the directors for the Issue of $100.
000,000 of new common stock, in connec
tion with the proposed Issue of $100,000,000
4 per cent bonds. The shareholders will
also be asked to approve finally this bond
Issue and ratify the acts of the directors
in the acquisition of new properties and
all financial matters pertaining thereto.
For the purposes of this meeting, as well
as for the purposes of the dividends al
ready declared, the stock transfer books
will close February 23 and reopen March
23. This proposed Increase of the capital
stock would make the entire capitaliza
tion of the company $29S,178,700, of which
$100,000,000 Is preferred stock. A large part
of the new capitalization will doubtless
ultimately cover the cost of the recently
acquired controlling Interest of the South
ern Pacific Railway.
"A report comes from the West, but
lacks corroboration here, that the Union
Pacific management Is having surveys
made for a new branch line to Los An
geles, with a view of heading off the
Rock Island's alleged extension. Conserv
ative railroad officials are skeptical re
garding all reports of further railroad ex
tension to the Pacific Coast."
NEW PRESIDENT OF BURLINGTON.
Perkins Retires and Harris Chosen
in His Place.
BOSTON, Feb. 20.-C. E. Perkins, pres
ident of the Burlington road, has re
signed, and Vice-President G. B. Harris
has been chosen president. Mr. Perkins
remains as director. His resignation Is
duo to a desire to be relieved of many
cares of the office of president.
BURLINGTON, la., Feb. 20. President
C. E. Perkins, of the Burlington road,
was asked today regarding the Asso
ciated Press statement that he had re
signed and that G. B. Harris had been
appointed his successor. Mr. Perkins said
It was true that Mr. Harris had been
made president of the Burlington road.
Mr. Perkins will continue, however, to
devote his time as heretofore, to the
affairs of the company, and the manage
ment will not be affected by the change.
Mr. Harris had performed many of the
functions of a president for two or three
years past and Mr. Perkins felt that,
as he had held the office for nearlyl 20
years and had lately passed his sixtieth
mile stone, it was an appropriate time
to throw more work on the younger
men while at the same time retaining his
Interests tn the company and remaining
on the board as the principal Western
director. Mr. Perkins will give practic
ally his whole time to the company's af
fairs. He will continue to live In Bur
lington and have his office here, as heretofore.
