BUFFALO FUND SHYl
Commission May Abandon
the Mineral Display.
THE SHORTAGE IS ABOUT $1500
Railroads Asked to Give Half Rates
on Exhibits This "Would Improve
Finances and Permit Plans to
Be Carried Oat.
Alter having apportioned the state ap
propriation of 520,000 to the beet of its
ability, the Pan-American Commission
finds Itself -without sufficient funds to
make a satisfactory exhibit at Buffalo.
The shortage is about $1500. This can be
overcome if the railroads trill give a half
rate on the exhibits to Buffalo. The offer
of full rate to Buffalo and half rate on
the return makes no saving, as the com
mission will send about 15 cars of exhibits,
while not to exceed two cars will come
back. The Chamber of Commerce yes
terday appointed Trustees Mears, Batch
elder and Devers a committee to wait
upon the railroads and ask for half rates
on the exhibits. The commission's appor
tionment of the fund follows:

Commissioners A. P. Tifft, H. B. Thiel
sen, A. Geiser, C. H. Thompson and Su
perintendent Henry E. Dosch, attended
the meeting1 of the Chamber of Commerce
trustees yesterday, and stated the con
dition of the commission's finances. Cap
tain Thompson said the mining appropri
ation had been cut to $1500, whereas $3500
would be required to make the exhibit
Oregon should have. Southern Oregon
had asked for $500 for its mineral display,
leaving but $1000 for Eastern Oregon. All
estimates had been pruned down to the
lowest point. Captain Thompson said
that If the railroads would give half rates
both ways, the commission would be bene
fited to the extent of $1500 or $1700. Messrs.
Tifft and Thlclsen spoke in the same vein.
President Hahri suggested that inas
much as individual mineowners would be
benefited by the display at Buffalo, they
should be called upon to 'make good any
deficiency. Captain. Thompson said this
would not answer, as the majority of
mineowners are poor prospectors.
The trustees agreed that it was import
ant that Oregon should have the best
mineral display that could be collected,
and the Chamber of Commerce should aid
the commission as much as possible.
Thereupon a committee was appointed to
see the railroads.
The commission has been working on
estimates for two days. When It ad
journed last night, the indications were
that the mineral exhibit would have to be
abandoned because of the smaliness of
the fund. Mining men say that the ex
hibit must be a good one or nothing at
all. They have been working on the dis
play for several months and have one
of the finest collections of Oregon min
erals ever made. It represents all sec
tions of the state. Two cars will be re
quired to carry It to Buffalo. The hope
of the commissioners is in the railroads.
If half-rate Is granted on exhibits, every
thing will be smooth apd success will be
assured; If not, Oregon may not have any
minerals at Buffalo.
The commission has appointed the fol
lowing persons as assistants in the de
partments: Agricultural W. H. Savage, Henry
Blackman.
Horticultural Charles Burrgard, George
I. Slocum.

DEEDS FOR RIGHT OF WAY
City
& Suburban Drnnch to
Shops Can Xow Go Ahead.
Car
The way is now clear for the construc
tion at the Brooklyn branch of the Clty
& Suburban Railway, from East Harri
son street to the Southern Pacific car
shops. Yesterday the deeds for the dedi
cation of the streets In Raffety's Addition
and the right of way through them were
signed by the RafTetys and will be duly
filed at once. The route of the railway
through this addition is on Ellsworth,
East Tenth and Brooklyn streets, and
these are the streets for -ivhlch deeds of
dedication have been made. Besides in
suring the building of the street railway,
the opening of these streets will be of
great advantage to Brooklyn, as that dis
trict has been hampered with closed
streets. The City & Suburban Railway
Company has ordered 15.CO0 ties from In
man. Poulsen &. Co., which are supposed
to be for use in the building of the Brook
lyn branch.
At the Central School.
The work of excavating for the base
ment of the new Central schoolhouse will
be commrnced as soon as the contractor
gets the grade stakes. The day Architect
Miller fixed for placing the stakes for
the contractor he was taken sick, and
excavating could not be commenced.
Plans and details for the new building had
been all prepared by Architect Miller, and
these will be placed in the hands of an
other architect, and the work will pro
ceed without delay. Professor Grrgg. the
principal, says he has the pupils placei
as comfortably as possible in the reduced
space caused by the removal of the south
wing of the old building, thus doing away
with two classrooms. The pupils have
been crowded Into other rooms, and one
classroom was partitioned, making two.
Therefore the inconvenience Is reduced to
the minimum.
Developing Xevr Strawberries.
M. J. Magoon, of Gravel Hill, who de
veloped the famous Magoon strawberry,
which has attracted so much atten
tion in this state and elsewhere,
is engaged in working up a number of
other new varieties. The result of his
experiments will be watched with much
Interest by berry-raisers. His object is
to develop a special early Oregon straw
berry superior in every way to anything
of the kind in the state. In order to do
this Mr. Magoon has crossed several va
rieties, and he expects this season to get
some results from these crosses, and then
he will know what success he has
achieved. Along these lines he has been
working for a number of years, and the
Magoon berry Is one result, but, while
that is a great success, he Is not satisfied,
and will continue his experiments until
an early variety of first-class quality has
been developed, a berry that Is both a
good keeper and of good flavor. Mr, Ma
goon secured in the East 30 different va
rieties of strawberry plants, none of
which proved a success In this climate;
and so he has concluded that the only
way to get a first-class early producer Is
to develop It from plants already accli
mated. It requires time and patience to
attain success In working up a new vari
ety, but Mr. Magoon has had abundant
experience In the business, and -Rill not
stop short of success.
Snnnynlde Streets.
The contractor for the improvement of
East Thirty-fifth street, between Haw
thorne avenue and East Stark street, has
started grading at Hawthorne avenue. A
camp for the men and equipment has been
established near East Yamhill street,
where a large tent has been put up.
There will be some cutsln the street, and
a fill on East Yamhill, and the surplus
dirt will be used in filling up some low
grounds. The cost of the Improvement
will be $G9S0 55. Preliminary work has also
been started on East Thirty-third, which
Is to be Improved between Salmon and
Belmont streets. Another petition has
gone in for the Improvement of East
Thirty-third, from Belmont to East Mor
rison street. With the Improvement of
East Taylor street, now nearlng comple
tion, and that of East Morrison, and these
new streets, Sunnyslde will be well pro
vided. Meeting: Saturday Night.
The meeting at Peninsular, on the St.
Johns motor line, which was postponed
last Saturday night, will be held the com
ing Saturday night. The object of this
meeting is to make an effort to secure
the prospective woolen mills on the Pe
ninsula. It is hoped that every resident
on the Peninsula will make It convenient
to attend this gathering and add strength
to the movement.
East Side Xotes.
Rev. J. E. Snyder, of Mount Tabor, will
enter on his work as pastor of the
Brownsville Presbyterian Church, where
he had been pastor before coming to Port
land, April 1.
A. Kadderly, a well-known business
man. who has been confined to his home,
on East Ninth and East Ankeny streets,
with serious illness, Is now slowly Im
proving. An East Side house-mover says he has
more work on hand than he can dispose
of for several weeks. Houses are being
moved and shifted about all over the East
Side, for the purpose of making improve
ments of various kinds.

WANTS TO GO BACK HOME.
Filipino Boy Who Is a Friend of the
United States.
Pedro Garcia, a 17-year-old Filipino, a
native of the town of Maccabebe in the
Province of Pampanga, is In Portland, the
guest of St. Vincent's Hospital, awaiting
a chance to return to the Philippine Isl
ands. When the First Washington Vol
unteers returned from the war In Oc
tober, 1S99, Lieutenant William Lemon,
of North Yakima, brought the young
Filipino back with him. The Macabbebes.
to which tribe the boy belongs, were
among the. stanchest friends, the Ameri
cans had In the islands. Many were em
ployed as scouts. Young Garcia mani
fested a liking for the Americans, served
Lieutenant Lemon in Manila, and was
brought over on the return to learn the
English language and to receive an edu
cation. The boy is about four feet five inches in
height, with black hair and bright eyes,
and a sturdy bulla. Dressed in Ameri
can clothes and talking English fluently,
he makes a good impression for quickness
and shrewdness on any observer. When
Interviewed as to his future plans and Im
pressions of this country, the boy said:
"I think the United States a great
country. When I go back to my home I
will tell the Filipinos that the Americans
are a great and good people, .and maybe
some of the boys will stop fighting. May
be I will be employed by the Government
to talk to my people, because now 1 can
talk English.
"I spent a very happy time over here.
The climate Is cold, but I soon get used
to that. The boys and teachers at North
Yakima treated me very well, and so
did my friends. Mr. Lemon I called papa
and Mrs. Lemon mamma, and Lieutenant
Leon brother. Did I get homesick? Yes,
I wanted to get back and see my father
and brothers. My father has a small plan
tation. We lived about CO miles from Ma
nila, three hours down a river and three
hours on the train."
Pedro Is now being cared for at St.
Vincent's Hospital, having brought a let
ter from his parish priest to Archbishop
Christie. He is experiencing difficulty In
securing a passage to Manila. He of
fered to work his way over on one of the
transports leaving Portland, volunteering
to serve as cabin boy, assistant steward,
dishwasher, or in any other capacity, but
his request was refused by the local
Army officers in charge.
"If I wrote to President McKinley." said
Pedro. "I am sure It would be all right."
The boy is the proud possessor of the
following testimonial from C. W. Mc
Curdy. superintendent of the North Yak
ima, Wash.. schoo!s:
"This is to certify that Pedro Garcia has
been a member of our city schools the
past two years, and has made an excel
lent record for Industry, deportment and
scholarship. He Is now a member of the
fifth grade. We regret his departure and
wish him well."

Our Only Need.
La Grande Journal.
There Is now a law which declares that
a pound of butter must weigh a pound.
The next great need is a cord of wood
that measures a cord, a box of berries
that contains a quart, and a sack of po-J
tatoes with the smallest on top. When
we are assured of these things, we poor,
benighted urbanltcs may hope to make
small deposits in the savings bank.
It's a mistake to go on losing appetite

CHARLES 3IELVILLE HAYS.
President Charles M. Hays, of the Southern Pacific, has Just returned to Saa
Francisco after a considerable stay in New York, where he is said to have gone
on business connected with the Harrlman control of the Southern Pacific system.
Though he has been absent much of the time since entering upon the duties of
his office. January 5, he has found the time to meet representative citizens of
California and various bodies of merchants and men whose Interests are linked
with traffic and transportation. To them he has outlined a simple policy of mu
tual help that won for him promptly many expressions of confidence, and even
admiration.
The new president, and successor of the late Collls P. Huntington In the
management of the varied affairs of the company. Is in the prime of life. He was
born in Rock Island, III., May 10, 185C, and began his railway service In Novem
ber, 1873, In the passenger department ot the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad at St.
Louis, Mo., and served in the accounting department and general superintend
ent's office of that road. In 1S77 he became secretary of the general manager of
the Missouri Pacific Railway, and afterward occupied a corresponding position
with the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway. In 1BSG he became assistant
general manager of the latter road, and in 1893 general manager of the Wa
bash Western Railway. Three years later he was promoted to be general man
ager of the united Wabash system, and In 1604 was elected vice-president of
that road. On January 1, 1S0C, he was made general manager of the Grand
Trunk Railway system of Canada, which position he held with notable success
until he went to the Southern Pacific, January 1.

HARMONY, RUT A RAILROAD.
Situation With Reference to
the
Vnncouver-lvalnmn Route.
Tomorrow a jury will be called at Van
couvcr to fix the value of the property
desired by the Washington & Oregon and
the Columbia Valley Railroad Companies
for right of way between Vancouver and
Kalam.. Judge Miller has not yet de
elded which of the companies shall have !
prior right to the privilege of condemning j
this property, or what the rights of the
Portland &, Puget Sound Railroad Com
pany are In the premises.
There are various rumors to the effect
that some kind of agreement has beer. ;
reached relative to that right of way on !
the north side of the Columbia, and that
the court contest will not be bitter. Those
who claim inside information say the
road on the north bank of the river will
be built and that Northern Pacific trains
will run over It. They say the old ferry-
boat at Kalamn has about served its I
time; that it is not only expensive to op- '
erate. but an expensive craft to bui'd.
and that the Northern Pacific is very
tlred of It and anxious to reach Portland
over a bridge at Vancouver. Therefore,
it Is said, the road is sure to be built on
the north bank of the river, and the
bridge will be built at Vancouver. Jt is
broadly Intimated that the hand of James
J. Hill is observable in the comparative
harmony that has come Into the contest
for rights between Vancouver and Ka- ,
lama.

Frelfrht Business Rnslilnfr.
The Southern Pacific is kept hustling to
provlde cars fast as shippers desire them
these days. There Is an active move
ment of freight out of Oregon south
ward. Most of this freight is lumber and
lumber products. Many carloads of box
snooks are sent to the California orange
region dally. There is also an active de
mand for telephone poles and for piles
In California, and this demand Is met
from Oregon. Most of the piling comes
from the Lower Columbia in rafts and Is
put on cars in Portland. The hop season
is about closed, but potato shipments are
still active. All these make business live
ly jon the Southern Pacific, much more
lively than ever before at this season of
the year.

IN THE SEVERAL COURTS
LEASE IS DECLARED IN VALID UN
LESS DELIVERED.
"Witness Fees in the Tom Connell
Insurance Case Cat Down
Notes of Litigation.
Judges George, Sears and Frazer sat
en banc yesterday In Judge Frazer's
courtroom, to hear arguments as to the
validity of a lease, signed by John Clark
in favor of C. S. Roberts for premises
at the northwest corner of Fourth and
Stark street. The leases were executed
in duplicate and given to Roberts to have
Henry Welnhard become surety for the
rent, to which Welnhard consented. Be
fore Welnhard signed, Clark, under false
pretenses, as alleged In the complaint,
managed to get possession of the leases.
and, although Roberts had prepared to
move and. had arranged for sub-letting
part of the building, Clark refused to give
up tho leases, or go ahead with the agree
ment. Roberts claimed 52500 damages.
Mr. Coovert, for defendant, argued that
there was no delivery of the lease, and
that Clark had a right to recede from the
agreement at any time before actual de
livery; that an Intended lessee had no
right to go to the expense of preparing
to move before actual delivery of the
lease.
R. Citron, attorney for plaintiff, admit
ted that delivery was essential to the
validity of a lease, but argued that Clark
waived the condition of the agreement
with reference to Welnhard by getting
possession of the leases through decep
tion; that the transaction was an agree
ment for a lease based on a sufficient con
sideration; that as Clark had signed it
and Roberts had accepted It, there was
a complete contract, for a breach of
which damages would legally ensue; also
that even if the question of delivery was
Involved It was a matter for the jury to
determine.
The court, through Judge Sears, conclud
ed that It was essential to a lease or other
contract relating to land, that there must
be a deliverj', and, unless there was a
clear showing of delivery, also a complet
ed contract, either party had a right to
revoke the lease. The demurrer was sus
tained, with leave to plaintiff to file an
amended complaint.
Probate Matters.
The will of James Barry, deceased, was
admitted to probate yesterday. The prop
erty Is valued at $6500, and comprises a
house and lot at Front and Carruthers
streets, lots In Rlverdale and In "Upper
Alblna. The estate Is devised to the wife,
Fannie Barry, who Is named as executrix
without bonds. The children, Mrs. Kate
Fisher, and Maria and John Barry, are
devised $1 each. The Instrument Is dated
February 27, 1900.
Mrs. Anna Kent -was appointed adminis
tratrix of the estate of Francis G. Tut
tle. deceased, valued at 52300, consisting
of a life insurance policy. In a petition
filed by her it is stated that he left a
wife residing in Kentucky and a son and
two daughters living at St. Louis. The
petitioner avers that she is a creditor of
the estate to the extent of $2500 for hav
ing furnished him with a home and care
and attention.
lone S. Shute was appointed adminis
tratrix of the estate of her husband. Jo
seph L. Shute, deceased, valued at $3000.
She Is the sole heir.
Joseph E. Hedges, administrator of the
estate of John Myers, deceased, reported
the sale of property in Stephens' addition
to A. E. Latourette, and that the Ger
man Savings Loan Society holds a mort
gage which It Is desired bo presented.
Did Not Have Full Authority.
The suit of TV. A. 'Blake against Jo
seph Newlands, to have a contract for the
purchase of land fulfilled, was decided
by Judge Clcland In favor of the defend
ant. Newlands owned some land, and,
upon leaving for Sumpter, put It into the
hands of a real estate agent to sell. Later
he gave another agent the privilege of
selling the same land, each agent
knowing nothing about the authority of
the other one. The second agent sold the
land October 13 to a Mrs. Paton, and
October 15 she made a payment. New
lands was communicated with and sent a
deed for Mrs. Paton. On the same day
the first agent sold the land to Blake, and
received $a0 earnest money. He gave a.
receipt and the following day turned the
money over to Mrs. Newlands and re
ceived her receipt, but never received a.
deed. Judge Cleland held that no testi
mony of a sufficient nature was Intro
duced to show this first agent had full
authority, and the case was decided
against Blake.
Enforcement of Lease.
Alonzo W. Hyde has sued Adolf Glcse
In the State Circuit Court to compel the
enforcement of a lease to a storeroom at
50 North Sixth street, and Judge Cleland
has Issued an order restraining the de
fendant from Interfering with the plain
tiff's possession of the, place. The hear
ing has been set for Saturday. Hyde
avers In his complaint that in February
last he obtained a contract of lease for
the premises from Glese for $S per month,
and relying on the same bought from
James Peery a stock of cigars and other

Need of an Ambulance.
PORTLAND, March 12. (To the Ed
itor ) Apropos of the moral crusade re
cently Inaugurated In this community, It
should occur to the lay observer, as well
as to the practitioner, that there exists
much, If not more provocation, for a
similar crusade along hygienic lines, and
the approach of Spring, after a season
of a great deal of contagious diseases,
would make It a very timely effort. I
do not want to blame the City Health
Department for lack of vigilance, nor
charge the city physician with any neg
lect, oecause he is ever on the alert to
attend to his duties In a prompt and con
scientious manner, let there are condi

TOLD BY PAIN
If you have pains you should look after them quickly Pain shows some
thing is wrong. The sharper the pain the more danger there is in delay. There
are thousands of women today who are bearing awful pain almost continually,
rather than tell a physician about the shooting pains in their lower abdomen,
about the agony of falling of the womb and the distress of leucorrhcea. They
let the months pass and their trouble becomes harder to cure and more distress
ing. But modest women can secure exemption from the embarrassment of a
private examination. When pain tells you of danger you can cure yourself
