8 THE MORNING OTtfcGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. 1901. WHOOPER IS HEARD FROM EXTIRE JJOUTHWEST IS "HEARING OF THE CARMVAL. Portland Woman's Club "VVI11 Keep Open Hohnc for the Sixty Other Clubs ol Xorthircst. One of the most successful pieces of re cent advertising: Is the Carnival Whooper. the neat illustrated paper printed by the Carnival advertising committee. It is be ing heard from on every hand, and is being read by the majority of the men. women and children of the entire 2Corth "west. A copy of It has been or will be placed upon all their doorsteps, and Its attractive form assures it a warm wel come, and in an attractive way It tells the tale of the coming Carnival. The rail road and steamship lines have sent out large numbers of Whoopers to their agents, and the stage companies have had their agents drop them off all along their lines'. So the "Wbooper is In the 3iands of farmers, miners, manufacturers, merchants, professional men, horticultur ists and pretty much everybody else. Copies bave covered the mountains of Montana, the farming regions of the Pa louee, the stock and fruit ranches of the Payette and the "Welser, the copper cor rals of the Seven Devils, and on across the Snake to the Three Tetons. The Whooper Idea bas proven a pro nounced, succctes, and originated with I D. Cole, chairman of the advertising conv anittee. Its attractive advertising was ar ranged by S. Xi. Gray, and its results ara already felt. E. S. Austin is making a bouse-to-house canvass and per&onally presenting the "Wbooper to everybody in Washington and Tamhill Counties, and will continue on through Tillamook and return via Astoria. Even If some people miss seeing Ihe bandsome big posters of the Carnival, they are sure to get copies of the "Whoop er, and thus every man, woman and child in the Northwest have heard or will hear of the coming Carnival, which Is already the best-advertised enterprise of the age. Woman's Department The members of the Woman's Club are enthusiastically taking hold of their di vision of the woman's department, and in tend to make It a. very successful feature. They will be located In or near the spa clous apartment formerly occupied as a war museum, ilrs. Dalton and ilrs. Mil ler have "been appointed a committee to today arrange for space, and the presi dent, Mrs. Mae H. Cardwell. will send letters to the CO federated women's clubs of the Northwest, Inviting them to come and partake of the Portland club's hospi tality. Open house will be kept every af ternoon, and Mrs. Ellen R. Miller will de liver a course of culinary lectures. She officiated in the same capacity at the Ex position of 1895, and has lectured In Ohio and Iowa. The women who do the Car nival cooking will have no kindling to split, no coal to drag in. The source of their fuel will be located at the gas fac tory, several blocks away, and the com pany has kindly consented to furnish It tree, also the ranges, for the fact is recognized that the Carnival is going to be a great public enterprise which is sure to bear abundant fruit for all. At 2 P. M. next Tuesday the home de partment of the Woman's Club will meet at Mrs. Dalton's to arrange preliminaries for the work of the club at the Carni val. JIxisIc Most Excellent. One of the pleasing features of the Car nival will be the high quality and full quantity of the music during the month following the grand opening night of Sep tember 18. The two full military bands engaged to play afternoon and evening are In thorough training, and the music they will render will be of a. high order, with no long lulls. It was a wise provision on the part of the Carnival committee to provide two bands, and Is a result of ex perience at previous expositions, when It was demonstrated that there was too much ground for one band to cover. On Multnomah Field. A large force of carpenters are hard at work on Multnomah field building band stands and seats to make comfortable the thousands of people who will assemble there to enjoy the splendid array of at tractions that the Carnival committee has provided. Multnomah Field is going to be one of the star attractions of the Car nival, and people who see its brilliant beauty and its 40,000 candle-power of elec tric lights will not soon forget them. From its opening on Wednesday even ing, September 18, to its closing on Satur day evening, October 19, the Carnival Is going to disclose eights and scenes that will long live in the pleasant memories of the people. VERY YOUNG HOBOS. Two Boys Heating Their "Way All Over the Country on Trains. Two keen-looking, sharp-eyed little boys, Abel Levy, 14 years old, of Newark, 2s J., and Louis Dunbar, who says he is 17 years old but looks like 14, of Los An geles, Cal., were arrested early yesterday morning at the Terminal depot by Po liceman Mallott, charged with being out after hours, and were locked up. Both boys said they were tourists living by their wits, and' that they had started on a long railroad journey to see the world. On reflection, however, Levy said: "We want to go home now. We have seen a lot of the world, and the world is too tough. Sporting around in trains is no rood." Yesterday afternoon an Oregonlan man interviewed the boys in the City Jail, and found both boys anxious, because they thought the police would send them to the Reform School. "We don't want to go to a horrid Eeform School. We want to go home," protested Levy. "Have you money enough to take you home to New Jersey?" he was asked. "I don't have a cent," said Levy, frankly, "but that don't trouble me. I can get home without spending any money, and in jhe cars at that. Just leave that to me, will you? I have been -away from home six weeks, seeing the world. I do not like the world away from home it's too tough. I got tired living In the same town in New Jersey, so I started on my travels to see the United States. First I stole a ride to New York City, and from there I went in a train going to Boston. I was In a passenger coach, too none of your private brakebeams for me. When the conductor came around 1 told him I had no ticket, and that 1 was going to see my aunt in Boston. TKPbluff worked. I next worked my way in a baggage car to Portland, Me., and from there to Montreal. Next I went by the Canadian Pacific Railroad to Winnipeg and then to Calgary." "How do you remember the names or those- towns so well?" was asked. "Read them in my geography at school," . responded the boy, promptly. "I was at School for eight years. Say, in Canada 1 found the railroad conductors very sus picious, and when any of them bothered me for tickets I said that I was going to see a sick aunt at Vancouver and that I'd no money. After that, I worked the aunt racket all through. I beat my way to Washington and got to Seattle, where I was put in jail for the first time. I got liberty to leave town, and I was glad to leave such a dirty jail. In Tacoma the police put me in Jail, and here I met m Louis Dunbar. The police said they would ' let us go if we left town. So a policeman put vls on board a freight car and told us not to tell anybody. He gave Louis two bits to buy food. He was a kind cop, but I was glad to get out of the Tacoma jalL It Is a dirty place and not half so pleasant looking as this place. Say, talking is dry work; got a piece of chewin' gum?" The visitor admitted he lid not carry around gum, and the boy said: "You ought to buy gum sometime. It's great." Dunbar was next sent for, and he said that he had been away from home for three months. "Home is the best place," he admitted, "but I wanted to see the world, and I started. No, I did not get the Idea from dime novels. "But the world Is not a nice place It's too tough, and a fellow meets too many bad people away from home. I beat my way through Cal ifornia and Washington, and when I met the other boy I was on my return tour. Say, I want to get home awful bad. I'm sure the folks want to see me. Yes, I've attended a Methodist Sunday school, but I'm no Sunday school kid. Sich fellers don't get pinched." "Pinched means arrested, a man told me," explained Levy. The boys were asked If they would advise other boys to steal rides on railroad trains and go touring through the country- "No, sir," said both wayfarers promptly. "It's no fun to beg food from emigrants on trains, and train hands, and then be arrested," said Levy, making a wry face. The police are holding the boys until they communicate with the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. MERELY AW ACCOMMODATION All Hands Agree That Loaning Tax Slips Was Only to Save Time. Concerning the tax slips turned over to the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, Cord Sengstake states that they were merely loaned to the company as a mat ter of convenlencet and there was no rea son to believe that there was anything wrong about it. The Title Guarantee & Trust Company is interested in a great deal of property, and the labor of clerks to check up the delinquent taxes against this property it was estimated would cost the county $150 or more, which would be saved by allowing the company to have the slips and do the work Itself. The slips were no longer of any value, and will be destroyed when not needed by the county any more. The under standing was that the slips would be re turned any time the county desired them. It was simply and purely a matter of ac commodation, both for the company and the county. John It Kollock, speaking for the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, also said It was a mere accommodation, simply a loan of the slips. Mr. Sengstake was very obliging and had frequently before accommodated the company in many ways. There are about 5000 pieces of property in which the Title Guarantee & Trust Company has a money Interest, not altogether what they own, but that belonging to policy-holders of the com pany, whom they must protect. The com pany waa entitled to have this checked up, to know just exactly what delinquent taxes were against it, and was able itself to ascertain what the record of the coun ty showed from these slips. It was an accommodation, and the slips were not obtained until the county was through with them, and had completed its record. He desired to emphasize the fact that no consideration whatever passed. When they were notified that the county wanted the slips back they bundled them up, and returned them at once. They were entitled to the Information regarding the property in which they were interested, and the county would have to furnish it to them. N. C. Oviatt likewise desires to ex plain. He said the Security Abstract Company turned in a list of several hun dred pieces of -property, which took two or three days to check up. They would have to check up all of the property in which the Title Guarantee & Trust Com pany had any interest when requested to. If there were several thousand pieces they would have to go over It all to ascertain if any delinquent taxes were against It. While, of course, it might turn out that there were taxes due against only 200 or 300 pieces, still the whole list would have to be checked up, as without doing so how could it be learned what pieces there were taxes due against, and what not. This would cost the county considerable money for the work which would have to be performed, and such things might also delay the sale of the property. The slips were loaned to accommodate the company, which agreed to check up its property and save the county the trouble of doing so. Commissioner Mack states that he spoke first about the Title Guarantee & Trust Company having possession of the slips to Judge Cake Thursday morning, having heard about it the day before. Mr. Mack said: "Let us make an order to get the slips back." Judge Cake said: "All right." He sent for Mr. Sengstake and told him to get the slips and place them in the custody of the County Clerk, where they now are. There was no writ ten order. When they heard the slips had gone out of the possession of the county they thought they would get them back, that was all. SUED FOR A LARGE AMOUNT Eliza Denny's Extate Demands S?19, 2SO From V. B.

The sentiment favoring the widening of Vancouver avenue from Morris to Alb'erta street to 80 feet is said to be slowly but surely growing. M. E. Thompson, who is chairman of the committee having the matter in hand, reports that he 19 con stantly finding property-owners who were outspoken in their opposition to the widen ing when it was first brought up who now favor it. He thinks that when tne advantages that are bound to come from fixing the street lines of the avenue har moniously between Morris and Alberta and making the avenue the same width a large majority of the property-owners will swing over in favor of the widening. According to the present street lines, Vancouver avenue is 80 feet wide be tween Russell and Morris streets, and from Morris north for a few blocks it is 60 feet, and then it varies until at Alberta street it 'is but 38 feet wide. There is a movement on foot to make a fine boulevard from a point connecting with the steel bridge through to the Co lumbia River out of Vancouver avenue. For the full Improvement of Vancouver avenue from Its intersection with McMil lan to JXussell street a petition was gen erally signed, and would have gone to the Council bv this time but for the mud dle in all street matters. It is withheld pending the decision of the Supreme Court. Morth from Alberta street the county is improving the avenue. At the intersection of Portland boulevard, the avenue ha9 been graded down and the un sightly gravel pit filled up. Work has al ready been started on the long bridge across Columbia Slough. Here a mile of new roadway will be built. If the property-owners between Morris and Alberta streets can see their way clear they can aid In making Vancouver avenue a fine boulevard, and the longest in the city. The committee of the Central Albina Sub Board is hopeful of success. "Writes From Honolulu. Dave T. Fleming, who graduated from the Portland High School in 1897, Is now In the Tax Collector's office, Pala Maul, H. T., Sandwich Islands. He writes his friend, Fred K. McCarver, entertainingly. Among other things he says: "Am In the tax office and guess I'll stay here a while, unless I get kicked out. Two years ago things took a boom, and this is hitting a lot of people pretty hard. Owing to an nexation things toolc a big jump and new plantations sprang up every two or three days. The promoters of these wildcat plantations got them gofng, got their pay and skipped out a wise thing to do. Luckily, I had not a red cent In any of the plantations, but have laid in quite a bit this last week,, when things were so low. Stock that is certain to pay 10 per cent will not stay at par; nor will what I got, that is paying 12 per cent. I should not wonder if I were going up to the cra ter this week. I have a chance to go and get off from my work, if I care to. I The oat shooting Is, great, I had 'some fair shooting the other morning. A bunch of dogs came around and were having a great time eating turkeys. I laid out three of them in the shortest time." Book Social. A book social was given at the home of W. -D. Deavers, superintendent of the Sunday school of the First Cum berland Presbyterian Church, Wed nesday evening. A pleasing pro gramme was rendered. Fifty books of excellent character and in first-class con dition were received. The books were all carefully examined by the committee. They are valued at $50. Besides these books, considerable cash was received. The intention is to start a circulating li brary in connection with the Sunday school the first of the year. By that time it is hoped to have a large number of books so that the library may be opened under favorable auspices. East Side Notes. O. M. Scott has gone to Chicago on a business trip.

Owners o Prospects "Willing: to Ac cept Reasonable Prices. George F. Barrett, of Granite, Grant County, who represented several Eastern Oregon counties In the last Legislature, Is in the city with his wife and niece on his way to the seaside. He Is en gaged In developing a number of promis ing quartz lodes in the Blue Mountains, and' ha's all confidence in the gold-producing future of Grant. "The Red Boy," he said, "Is an evidence of the kind of mines we have over there, when once they have been developed to any depth. The owners of the Red Boy started in about six years ago without means, but they were thorough mlrjfers and honor able men, and now they have a mine valued at from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. There are plenty of 'just as good chances for practical miners in Grant County today, and this is a splendid time to get hold of properties at reasonable figures. A good deal of capital is coming In from the out side, as prospect owners are more rea sonable in their demands than they were last year. The country has been held back largely through the high price asked for claims, and development has been re tarded." Mr. Barrett does not think it requires a great amount of capital to put a 'quartz mine on a paying basis. "It has been demonstrated that $5000 will place a mine in a position to develop Itself and enable the owners to reap a profit at the same time," he said, "and there is no better Investment for the man of moderate means than that of purchasing a mine newly opened In the Granite district, pro viding ordinary judgment and business tact are used In the choice of location and of expenditures." He looks for a number of new stamp mills to be set up in the district In the immediate future. Grand Excursion, to "Castle Koclr.
