oregon aprles at the buffalo
exposition.
Commissioner Dosch Tells Hott
They Attract Attention Stra-rr-
berrles 'and Salmon.
Commissioner H. E. Dosch -writes from
the Buffalo Exposition tsr George Lam
jberson under date of' June 20 as follows:
"The ilnt lot of strawberries arrived
al moldy, but the secon;flot came In
perfect order and kept fiod for three
days on exhibition, even In this beastly
climate, where it is cold in' the morning,
rqd hot at noon and overcoat weather at
sight. Today It Is raining, thundering
like fun and hot. sticky weather. It is
simply beastly. The grounds" are covered
T.lth half an inch of water. We will soon
lave to get boats. "
"Our apples are holding -out wonder
fully. You know I had ohly.iZ) boxes In
ell. half of which arc on exhibition, the
otheri still in cold storage. As soon as
come of them show decay -we, take them
off and put others In their place, for J
have to -stretch them out a' long ways,
even longer than a daschhund. You,
have seen the one Slchel, the'cigrar man,
has. It is wonderful how ' they keep.
Some of them have been on the table for
pix: weeks, .being polished every, day, and
arc yet firm, especially some."Newtown
pippins from Mr. E. L. Smith, and some
Genet apples grown by "William Ehrck,
fit -Hood Hlver, near the snow line, which
undoubtedly will get the gold, jpedal, as
Professor "Van Deman, the Juge, told
me they were the finest Genet he had ever
ceen, and, he knows. Although our apple
exhibit Is small only 100 plates, while
such states as Illinois and New York have
over 1000 each it attracts mo-re at
tention, and it is difficult to convince
people that they are not out of Jvax, on
account of their perfect shape and beau
tiful color and the high polish they take.
Often to establish my point for truth I
have to cut one to pieces and hand them
around to eat, when they exclaim, 'Oh,
such fine flavor, etc. But we -ar used
to '-that. Colnpllments have been "-showered
on us sd that our heads cannowell
any more.
"The strawberries we distributed and
you ought to have heard the praise. I
would hand, one lo.a lady and she would
takeablte, have her hubby take ablte
end, divide the rest among the children.
They almost fought to get Just one "berry,
grille those berries of Missouri ancTjJjTew
York measly sour things remained un
touched. We have to stand guard with
a club of course, and then every once in
a while someone will make a grab f or
one, H
"Now In regard to the apples sent! by
Mr.- W. S. Miller, of Clatskanie. I -entered
them, of course, though I was sat
isfied they were Ben Davis grown under
peculiar conditions, and to settle the
question I called the Jury, with Van
Deman at the head, and all pronounced
them" Ben. Davis. We cut some of them
open and they hav the same delightful
sawdust taste and flavor of the original
Ben Davis? They are a beautiful applefl
to look at and tvIH sell well, as people!
buy by the eye. They are hard. firm. J
dry as a powderhorn and may be good
for pies and applesauce when no other ap-"
pies are to be had, "but to eat no thanks
I prefer, sawdust or bran and shorts.
"The other day a gentleman was pre
sented to me, or rather Introduced hy the
manager of California's fruit exhibits.
He said that he was just going to visit
Mr. J. D". Rockefeller, the oil magnate,
and was a friend of his, and as Mr. R.
was very fond of apples, he wanted a few
to take with him, and saw nothing so
fine as the Oregon apples in the build
ing. I said, while I had no objection to
presenting a few apples to Mr. Rocke
feller, what was the matter with my
California friend's boasted fine apples,
and he admitted then and there that their
apples were not good enough to send to
Mr. Rockefeller, hence he brought his
friend to me for Oregon apples as the
only ones fit to send in the entire build
ing. Peg another one for Oregon. But T
am afraid they will do with them as they
did with the fruit I loaned them for
Paris present them as California apples.
You see I am beginning to get suspicious
at last.
"Just received some fine royal Chinook
salmon, 56, 66 and 70 pounds respectively,
and are 4 feet 3 Inches. 4 feet 5 Inches
and 4 feet 7 inches long. My, what a
show they make. Some time ago I wrote
to Mr. Tifft for them and also for rain
bow, Dolly "Varden and other trout. Mr.
J. Llndenberger, of Astoria, sent the sal
mon express prepaid what do you think
of that for patriotism? Oregon could
stand a good many more Lindenbergers
for her good. I put two In formaldehyde
and thej- are getting good and hard to
keep for ever, and one I gave away for
an advertisement, and I think I made a
hit
"The New York State Bankers Asso
ciation holds Its eighth annual convention
here today, tomorrow and Saturday. To
morrow (Friday) -evening is the
banquet fro the 400 delegates and
invited t guests. Ex-Senator Bissell,
president"" of the People's Bank,
is chairman, and I offered gratis
one of the salmon and he was delighted
with it. It will be boiled whole and
served whole. What a sight it will be
and what an "ad it will be to those epi

this was the best use I could make of
one of them.
EASTERN MULTNOMAH.
Immensity of Worlc at Beaver Creek
To Clean Pipe Line.
GRESHAM. Or.. June 24. Work on the
Beaver Creek hill is progressing very
rapidly, and It will be by far the most
Important piece of road building In this
section during the year. The cut at the
top of the hill will give' sufficient ma
terial for the fill at the foot. The cut
will be about 25 feet deep, and the fill
about 20. Sliding .scrapers are being used
to load the wagons, which expedites the
wprk. and allows a larger force to oper
ate thn. If the wagons were loaded by
hand. As the roadway is. narrow . where
it approaches the old bridge, and there
is considerable travel. It was necessary
to operate on but one-half of the road at
a- time. One side is now about done, ex
cept the leveling, which must wait until
both sides are completed. A temporary
bridge has been built across one arm
of Beaver Creek, which will be usea until
the new structure can be put in Mace
of the old one which will be torn away
as soon as the cut and fill are done.
Deputy Surveyor Lewis and his crew set
the final stakes last week for the, grades,
and the work will be pushed to an early
completion. Roadmaster Steele was out
hefe one day last week and expressed
himself aa helng satisfied with the prog
ress of the Improvement. It Is now being
considered whether -a concrete arch would
not'ibe better than a bridge across the
creek, as the plans for the latter call for
embankments on each side about 100 feet
both above and below, which, will have
to rlprapped. It, will take as much rock
to do this as to make an arched viaduct,
and the cost is estimated to be less. The
total cost of the work will run close to
$3500, as the plans have been enlarged
sjnee the work was undertaken, but the
gradewill be reduced fully 50 per cent.
VTo Clean Water Pipe.
The Portland Water Company has had
men at work along the pipe line attach
ing ventilators to the check-valves at
each manhole, for the purpose of ad
mitting air to the water pipe. An an
nual cleaning out of the pipe will take
place soon, and it is necessary that the
pipe should be drained quickly when the
water is shut off. Drainage will , be
facilitated by the admission of air, hence
the ventilators. When everything Is
ready and, the reservoirs have been filled
so as to give the city a supply of water
for a few days, the water will be turned
off at the headworks, and a crew of men
will start through the pipe, cleaning its
entire distance in a short time. Con
siderable sediment gathers, which It is
necessary to remove, and the work is
done every Summer. The men take little
carts and scrapers, and In that manner
clean from one manhole to another.
Price of Batter Fat.
The creameries and cheese factories are
now paying 22& cents a pound for butter
fat, which is a slight drop from former
prices. It Is a great deal more, how
ever, than dairy butter is bringing, and
the farmer Is not m it it he does his
own churning. As a consequence it Is
very hard to find dairy butter around
here, and most of the farmers who have
plenty of milk are buying butter for their
own use. The supply of milk keeps up
remarkably well, owing to improved
methods of feeding, and the clover crop
being exceptionally fine this season.
Brief Notes.
Construction of the Columbia's tele
phone extension is under way to Rock
wood. Post holes are being dug, and the
line will be up as far as that place In
about two weeks.
A young man named Percy Martin fell
from a log chute on the Bridal Veil Moun
tain last Friday, and broke two ribs,
besides sustaining other Injuries. He will
recover in a few weeks.
Excavating for the concrete foundation
of Gresham's new schoolhouse will begin
today, the old building having been moved
to its new location last week, where it
is being fitted up for a Grange hall.
T E. Clark, a former resident of these
parts, but .now a contractor In Sacra
mento, is here accompanied by his fam
ily. They will remain several weeks,
during which time Mr. Clark will im
prove his farm east of this place.
Max Reuhl, of Rockwood, had a fine
flocks of ducks and geese la3t week 19
In all but a stray dog got among them
and killed them all. Mr. Reuhl got a
shot at the dog, and future flocks are
safe, but that hardly pays for his loss.
While on a river excursion from Trout
dale yesterday, a passenger named
Mershon was assaulted by a deckhand
and one ear of Mershon's was bitten.
The row is said to have begun by the
deckhand Insulting some girls. The mat
ter will probahly be settled in the Jus
tice Court.
PROHIBITIONIST SPEAKS.
John G. Woolley Addresses a Bis
Aadtence on the Old Issues.
John G. Woolley addressed a crowded
house at the Metropolitan Theater last
evening on the subject of suppressing the
liquor traffic by political methods. He
seemed not at all dismayed by the "mere
handful of votes," as he called them,
which he obtained while running for Presi
dent In 1900, but prophesied that a Pro
hibition Governor would yet grace the
state Capitol of Oregon, and a Prohibition
President would some day occupy the
White House.
He scored the Christian voters, however,
who sing such hymns as "Stand Up for
Jesus" in great crowds at such gatherings
as those of the Epworth League, and then
on election day vote the Republican ox
Democratic ticket and he told of good
men who call on him at the close of his
address and say: "You are all right, Mr,
Wooley. I agree with you, heart and
Soul." Mr. Woolley asks such a man how
he votes, and if ite In the North the man
says: "I'm a Republican"; if in the South,
"I'm a Democrat." But voting the Re
publican or Democratic tickets will never
put down the liquor traffic.
"The American. Government' is not pow
erless In this matter," he said, "and this
Nation can do what It ought to do with
the. liquor traffic I do not say that ail
the. members of tfie old parties are in
favor of the saloon. There are many
voters opposed to It, and there are many
others willing to be fooled Into voting for
it. ' He considered anti-saloon leagues
and "such local movements worthless in
suppressing the saloon, though the mo
tives of the promoters might be honest,
and he referred to the recent coalition of
the Democrats who controlled New York
City pjolltlcs with the Republicans, who
are dominant In the state. He called the
New York City government a cesspool of
corruption, and the state government an
organisation that is no better. Yet these
powers combined for the suppression of
the saloon, like the prairie dog. the owl
and the rattlesnake, tfhat got along well
together in one hole. The jackal at Al
bany went Into partnership with the tiger
in Greater Isew York. The Seth Low
movement was low In conception, as well
as In name. He regarded It as a hopeful
sign to see the Albany jackal again mak
ing propositions to the prairie dog and
owl in te metropolis, and the latter
showing good sense In repelling all prop
ositions. "The voters who battled over the money
standard in 1896 might have been honest
so far as Troy weight or mint weight go,
but were rascals according to the stand
ard of Jesds Christ."
He likened the voter who put aside the
main question of prohibition for the
money question to the juryman, who, in
trying a murderer, agreed to a verdict of
petty larceny because the other 11 insisted
on It; and he said the average Christian
will go back on his church just to get his
party into power.
He spoke of the press of the country
as having exerted Itself to circulate false
hoods regarding the abolition of the can
teen at Army posts. He said the report
that the W. C. T. U. had formed a com
pact with the liquor-sellers to abolish the
canteen was a falsehood, that every pub
lisher In flie country knew to be so when
he helped circulate It. Another story of
the action of the National convention of
physicians he. also dubbed as false; that of
their recommending the restoration of the
canteen. It was true that a small coterie
of red-nosed physicians, numbering 25,
had passed such resolutions but the main
convention, numbering 1500 delegates, de
cided "to postpone a vote on the question
until the next annual meeting, when re
ports could be heard, from the various
posts as to the actual effects.
He denied the reports that the abolition
of the canteen had already caused gin
mills to multiply in the, vicinity of army
posts, and cited several instances where
doing away with the canteen had accom
plished good. He considered this move
ment on the part of -the Government the
most magnificent in the history of recent
legislation, on the liquor traffic, as U was
done by the power of the temperance sen
timent of the country.
I. H. Amos, chairman of the State Pro
hibition party, occupied a seat on the plat
form, and had the honor of introducing
the speaker, after a fervent prayer for
the success of prohibition on the part of
Rev. George W. Gue. An announcement
was made that Rev. Ray Palmer. who.Kad
fprfelted his position as pastor of a Port
land church on account of being stead
fast to prohibition, would address the ,peor
pie of the city at Metropolitan Theater on
July 14. '

INLAND EMPIRE PROTESTS
STRONG FEELING OVER ABANDON
MENT OF CELIO TRIP.
Cities, of Columbia River Valley
Want the Rivers and Harbors
Committee to Come.
From every commercial organization of
the great Inland Empire are coming to
the Portland Chamber of Commerce pro
tests at the abandonment of the trip of
the Congressional rivers and harbors com
mittee to Celilo. The feeling of regret
that the Itinerary of the committee was
ndt arranged to include the Upper Co
lumbia Is felt in an equal degree by the
members of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, whose officers and trustees
made strenuous efforts to impress upon
the visitors by telegrams and correspond
ence the importance of spending three
days in Oregon, so as to visit both the
Upper and the Lower Columbia. This the
committee has not done, and, although
three days have been devoted to this sec
tion, one of them is Sunday, 'on which
the members do not travel. As adopted
by the committee, the party will take In
the Willamette Valley and the Lower Co
lumbia, and Chairman Burton and a num
ber of members of the committee will
return in July to visit and inspect the
Upper Columbia and its tributaries.
Following Is a letter received from E.
H. Libby in his official capacity as pres
ident of thu Lewlston, Idaho, Chamber of
Commerce:
Lewlston, June 20. Mr. Henry Hahn, Pres
ident Chamber of Commerce, Portland Dear
Sir: Yesterday we telegraphed you as follows:
"Omission of Celilo from programme of Con
gressional committee endangers support of
Astoria, of Idaho, Washington and Eastern
Oregon for deepening lower rler. You know
thc3e regions only need open river to Astoria.
Much prefer united effort for all these in
terests. If Celilo is dropped, Interior is aa
tagonlzed." Perhaps the newspaper accounts of the con
templated action of Portland in possibly omit
ting Celilo from the programme for the visit
ing Congressmen misled us. We cannot con
ceive for a moment how anything except the
"moulb-of-the-rlver" interests can be compared
with the Dalles-Celllo canal. You are certain
of the Willamette Valley. At best, it Is, per
haps, one-twentieth the commercial import
ance of the Columbia, River basin east of the
Cascades. Under the conditions of an open
river, the commerce of the Inland Empire will
be increased tenfold or more. The chief gain
er by the construction of The Dalles-Celllo
canal will be Portland, Each section of the
interior will gain, but Portland will gain by
the advance of each and every one of these
Interior points. Over a year ago there was
an informal agreement entered into during a
meeting of the directors of the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce, by which I agreed for the
Lewlston Chamber of Commerce to use our
utmost efforts to secure an appropriation for
the "mouth-of the-rlver" improvements. We
promptly took up the matter with the Idaho
delegation, and they promptly seconded and
fulfilled our promises. I went to Walla Walla
in person, and later by correspondence with
President Payne, of the Walla Walla Com
mercial Club, so presented the matter to him
that through his efforts and through our own
direct efforts, in. part,, at least, the Washing
ton delegation were brought to support all the
Columbia River projects. We have fulfilled
our promises in every particular.
Under the circumstances, even a suggestion
to permit the rlvera and harbors committee
to think for a moment that The Dalles-Celllo
canal Is not one of the most" Important fea
tures of the improvement of the Columbia
River, and that Portland Is ready to sidetrack
it for the Willamette Valley, Is so weakening
to the cause itself that it would not be a bit
surprising If the influence of the interior coun
try would not be aroused to the point of
exhibition of an antagonistic spirit. Such an
tagonism between Portland and the Interior is
bound to work harm to both projects. Tor
the sake of all this wbrk, we trust that the
talk against the Celilo trip will be promptly
smotherec, and that so far as the rivers and
harbors committee and the outside world is
concerned, there may be every appearance of
harmony and united effort in favor of the
deepening or the mouth of the river, and also
the removal of obstructions at Celilo, as being
part ard parcel of the same great project of
an open river to the sea. Yours truly,
E. H. LIBBY, President
By order of the governing board. Adrian
Sweet, Secretary.
Additional letters have been received in
the same tenor from the following bodies:
Moscow (Idaho) Commercial Club, by the
president, H. C. Shaver; ' Grangevllle
(Idaho) Board of Trade, by the secretary,
J. A. Wilkinson; Clarkston (Wash.) Busi
ness Men's Club, by L. A. Woodward,
secretary; Colfax (Wash.) Chamber of
Commerce, by'G. W. H. Lennox, secre
tary. Spokane Chamber of Commerce, by
R. H. Greely, secretary; Baker City
Chamber of Commerce, by O. L. Miller,
secretary.
These letters will be taken ud and an.
swered officially at the rrieeting of the
trustees of the Chamber of Commerce.
Nothing could have been more remote
in the Intentions of the committees
on entertainment than to have offended
the commercial bodies of the Inland Em
pire, with whom the Portland Chamber of
Commerce has worked In harmony, by
such action as suggested In the letters
of deliberately cutting out the Celilo trip.
All the correspondence of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce shows that Its com.
mlttees have been urgent In their at
tempts to include the Celilo trip in the
itinerary. In this they were not success
ful, and the regret Is felt as keenly by
the Portland Chamber of Commerce as by
the allied bodies.
ARGUING THE PRIMARY LAW
Counsel Finish, the "Worlc of In
structing the Judses.
The arguments concerning the consti
tutionality of the primary laws passed by
the 1901 Legislature were concluded yes
terday before Judges Cleland, George and
Sears. Ten days' time was allowed for
counsel to file briefs.
E. W. Bingham closed his argument at
the morning session against the acts, con
tending that they are repugnant to each
other inoperative and both contrary to
the constitution. Mr. Bingham, who fa
vors a direct primary law, applicable to
the whole state, urged that both of these
acts are unconstitutional, for the reason
that they are local In their application,
referring only to the City of Portland and
Multnomah County. He asserted that
their operation would impose an unwar
ranted expense on the taxpayers, and
made many other strong points in opposi
tion to the acts.
Charles E. Lockwood followed with an
address In support of Senate bill 191, which
has been generally referred to in court
as the Lockwood bill. He took no part In
the t controversy concerning the Morgan
bill, but only advocated the constitution
ality of the act which he is credited with
having been Instrumental In putting
through the Legislature. He spoke strong
ly in favor of the measure, and reviewed
a decision of the California Supreme Court
relative to a direct primary law, which
was frequently referred to by the other
side. Mr. Lockwood said the decision of
the California Supreme Court can have
no application to Senate bill No. 191, but
only to the Morgan law, and he read a
portion of the decision which he said was
the main feature of It, to sustain his
contention, as follows:
The provision requiring the primary elections
of all political parties to be held at the same
time, and under the control of the County
Board of Election Commissioners, and provid
ing for the use pf but one ticket at such an
election, which Is received by the intending
voter without question as to his political af
filiations, and taken Into the privacy of the
booth, where he may name such delegates as
he desires to the political convention of one or
another of the political parties, whether he Is
a member of that party or not. Is an unwar
ranted invasion of the rights of political par
ties, and an innovation of the rights reserved
to the people by article 1 of the constitution,
providing that the rights enumerated In the
constitution shall not be construed to impair
or deny others retained by the people.
Charles H. Carey conceded that the
Morgan act is not constitutional, and his
speech was directed only in defense of
the Lockwood law. Mr. Carey acknowl
edged that he had taken considerable part
In politics, but said he was not a faction
Ist, and desired honest primaries, and
that the majority should rule. Referring
to the question whether a law is local and
contrary to the constitution which de.
clares that special laws shall not be
passed' by the Legislature In certain enu
merated cases, he stated that, regarding
acts framed to pertain to cities of 50,000
or more inhabitants, of which there is
only one Portland the Supreme Court
has three times held such a law within
the prohibition of the constitution, but did
not say in either case whether the law
was local or special. The Lockwood bill
was for cities of 10,000 or more inhabi
tants. Counsel said it Is not required that
laws shair be uniform for all parts of the
state, but that their operation shall be
the same in all parts of the state under
the same circumstances and conditions,
to operate uniformly In all parts of the
state under like facts. He. read a decis
ion where the court held that a law for
cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more, where
there Is only one such city In the state,
where it is so framed as to operate in all
such cities when they have reached such
population. Is general.
Continuing, counsel said: "There is
very good reason why the Legislature
should make such a law for cities of this
size. Wo all know there is more danger
for the perpetration of fraud and corrup
tion In cities than may be found In
smaller communities, where such acts
may be more easily detected and pun
ished." Mr. Carey referred to the pri
mary act of 1S91, which he stated was the
same on this point. Such a provision, he
asserted, Is flexible and movable. There
is a considerable amount of changing.
As cities grow they become applicable
to the law. If the State of Washington
had passed such a law, some years ago
there would have been only one such city,
and now there are at least three such
cities In that state. There Is no question
but there will be a number of cities in
Oregon that will exceed 10,000 population
in a few years.
Further along in his argument counsel
took up the point made by the opposing
counsel that certain political parties, the
Prohibition party among them, are shut
out by the Lockwood law. Mr. Carey,
discussing it, said: "If Mr. McKercher
belongs to a party that Is not entitled
to make nominations. It is under the
Australian ballot law. This law does not
make It so. -It Is the Australian ballot
law that makes it so. If his party has not
cast the percentage of votes at the last
general election provided by the Austral
Ian ballot law, Mr. McKercher may bring
his convention nominations to the County
Cleric and he will be told that he is not
entitled to flic his ticket." A decision
was read that conventions of parties that
did not cast a certain, percentage of votes
at the last election are not entitled to file
a ticket. Counsel said: "As I understand
It, the Lockwood act does not change this
method. He is entitled to assemble an as
sembly of electors under this law, or he
may file Independent nominations, or may
belong to a minor party that is not af
fected by this law at all."
Mr. Carey read a decision of the Cali
fornia Supreme Court where a law was
declared unconstitutional because it de
prived a large number of persons from
voting, and commenting on it said: "There
is nothing af that kind in this act, any
person entitled to vote under the registry
law is entitled to vote under this act."
Counsel next discussed the point made
by the plaintiff, that the Lockwood law
"saddled on the county the expense of a
primary election for the city."
"Just why this is a matter the city Is
concerned In and not the county," he
said, "I cannot see." The Supreme Court,
he said. In the suit of Simon vs. North
Up, regarding the placing of the bridges
In control of the county, held that so
milch of the .act as placed the debt of th
city Incurred in the purchase of the
bridges on the county was Invalid, and
It was imposing a debt of the city on the
county, but that so much of the act as
placed tho. expense of the maintenance
andoperaton of the bridges on the county
was valid.
Counsel said Senate bill 191 Imposes no
debt on the county, no debt, haying been
created. The city charter Imposed the
expense of printing ballots and city elec
tions on the county, and he had heard
no one say that was unconstitutional.
Attention was also called to the fact that
the Supreme Court decided that the Port
of Portland Commission might be em
powered to carry on improvements cov
ering a large portion of territory outside
of the city limits, and the commission,
it was stated, did expend money improv
ing the Columbia River on both sides
lying between two states.
Judge 'Carey covered other points very
fully, and among other things said if the
law providing for direct nominations is
constitutional and in force, then by Its
express terms the Lockwood act does not
take effect at all, but If there Is no direct
primary act or that act is unconstitu
tional, then the Lockwood act is in full
force. Counsel concluded with an appeal
for honest primaries, that there will be
an honest expression of opinion by the
majority of the party which this act
would give. The expense, he asserted,
was a necessary evil which no good cit
izen will object to.
Charles M. Morgan argued in support
of his direct primary act, but could not
cover the ground fully for lack of time.
He promised to cover the case fully in a
brief.
