THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1902.
THEY MUST HANG
Governor Geer Has No Mer
cy for Wade and Dalton.
HIS ANSWER TO A LETTER
Doctor Writes That One of the Men
Did Jfot Kill Morrow-Governor
Say That la Jast What One
of Them Did Do.
SALDM. Or., Jan. 16. Wade and Dalton
can hope for no commutation of their
sentences from Governor Geer. While
no one has thought that the Governor
would exercise his pardoning power In
their behalf. Governor Geer has not made
public his Intentions until today, when he
gave to the press a letter written on this
subjecu A physician, whose name will
not be given out, wrote to the Governor
urging that the Wade and Dalton sen
tences be commuted to life imprisonment,
"for the reason that one of the condemned
men did not kill Morrow."
Governor Geer's short but pointed re
ply to this letter contained the following
statement of his Intention in the matter:
"You will please permit me to offer the
suggestion that I could not consent to
such a commutation, for the reason that
one of them did kill Morrow."
The fact that the names of persons in
terceding for Wade and Dalton have not
been made public has been taken as an
indication that no clemency would be
shown. It is the custom, where a commu
tation is under consideration, to make
names of petitioners public, so that any
persons who wish to do so many prepare
remonstrance, and so that the public may
know the character of petition for leni
ency. TO LOOK IVTO ROAD MATTER.
Bnlcer City Semln a. Man Over the
Proponed Route to Drerrxey.
BAKER CITY, Or., Jan. 16. The com
mittee appointed at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting Monday night to look into
the matter of the construction of a road
over the Blue Mountains to Drewsey met
yesterday and arranged to send an experi
enced roadbullder over the proposed route.
He is to -make a careful estimate of the
cost of constructing the road, and report
to the committee at an early date.
It Is understood that the greater part of
the proposed road has already been con
structed, and about all that is necessary
is to construct a short road over the
mountain through a father difficult pass,
and the result jvill be an almost direct
road from Drewsey to Baker City, which
will make Baker City the nearest railroad
station to this part of the country by 40
miles. At present most of the trade from
this particular section goes to Ontario.
The committee's representative will start
out at once, and It is expected that he will
be able to make the trip through to Drew
sey and. complete his report in about two
weeks.

MINE NOT YET SOLD.
A Deal Ib on Foot, However, for the
Concord Property.
PENDLETON. Or., Jan. 16. With ref
erence to the story in circulation that the
Concord mine had been sold to the own
ers of the Red Boy mine, and that Pen
dleton men got $400,000 out of the deal,
James A. Howard, who is one of the
principal stockholders in the property,
said today:
"A deal is on foot for the sale of the
Concord mine by the Concord Mining
Company, but It has not yet been con
summated. The price that has been of
fered to the company is entirely satis
factory to the holders, but the story that
it has been sold is erroneous, although
It Is expected that the deal will be closed
in a few days. Most of the stock in the
mine is owned by Pendleton men, but the
list of stockholders that has been pub
lished is not correct, either as to names
or respecting the number of shares held
by each one. Until the deal is entirely
closed up, nothing further can be given
out."

BIG 'YEAR FOR PORTLAND.
Mr. Hahn Reviews Year's Trade for
New York Papers.
New York Times' Trade Review.
The year 1901 strengthened Portland's po
sition as the chief commercial city of the
Pacific Northwest, bv which Is mount the
States of Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
emDracmg an area 01 Z0O.010 square miles ;
an area considerably larger than that
of all the New England States and New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana combined. This Is our trade field
proper; that Is, it Is the field of our great
est activity, but we job extensively with
Montana, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Cali
fornia, Colorado. British Columbia and to
some degree with Mexico. In this Pacific
Northwest territory Portland has more
than double the mercantile capital of Se
attle or any other city that does a Job
bing business on a largo scale.
The year just closed was the greatest
year for business In the history of Port
land. For the purpose of making a cor
rect statement to the New York Times, I
have carefully canvassed the situation.
and received reports from 45 of our largest
firms. Taking these reports for a guide,
I estimate the jobbing trade of 1901. at
5121.000.COO. This allows for an Increase of
10 per cent, compared with 1900, when the
Jobbing trade was reported at 5UO.000.000.
ro firm reported a smaller Increase than
10 per cent, while many went over this
figure.
The principal features of the year's
business have been the follqwlng: The
Pacific Northwest Is growing rapidly In
population and receiving a very excellent
class of people. The buying classes, both
In city and country, are exceptionally
prosperous, and collections are prompt. In
the city merchants arc discounting their
bills. The mall order trade has largely In
creased, and Forac houses now get a larger
number of unsolicited orders than their
traveling men were able to drum up a
few years back. Many people In the sur
rounding country come to Portland to
shop, ns our fine railroad facilities en
able them to make the round trip the
same day.
In drugs the range of prices Is high, and
many orders are being received from Ha
waii. ABla, and the Philippines. Small
boats are being manufactured here to be
shipped, "knocked down," to Manila. In
automobiles and motor cycles, the tend
ency is to wait until the Eastern manu
facturers are done with experimenting.
Jewelers have had mora business than
they could- handle. In feed and provis
ions trade has been very active, as the
Government has been a largo buyer. Stock
has gone forward In large orders. The
British and American Governments have
bought heavily of norses. Dealers In ag
ricultural Implements have been unable to
fill their orders. Coffee and spices have
been active, but tea has been depressed,
as the war tax lessens sales. Profits have
been off In soap on account of the heavy
Incnonse In the cost of chemicals, vege
table oil and animal fats, but the volume
of trade is larger than ever. There are
11 soap factories In the Pacific Northwest,
and Portland supplies more than half of
.tho home manufactured, soap used In this
Country.,
Sales of home-made clothing are Increas
ing. Ona firm that went Into the busi
ness four years ago, now employs over
200 hands, and Is counting on Increasing
Its force to 500. Our furniture factories
are reaching out for business all over the
Pacific Coast. They say the volume of
business js limited only by their ability- to
handle It.

of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents "morning

Beauty's Blood Deep
How nntrue the old adage "Beauty's Skin Deep." How many women of beauti
ful features marred by impure blood try in vain to get a pure complexion by doctor
ing the skin. The quickest, surest, only way to beauty is to cleanse the blood.
5Sfc"3 - 0lSE 5V AV2SIe9
How many, many young women are anaemic, pale, sickly-looking, perhaps
with pimples on face and neck,, owing to poor, unhealthy blood. Perhaps wo
manhood is 'approaching, that serious time of life when irregularities are liable
to break down a constitution. The first rule for purifying and enriching the
blood is to keep the bowels free and natural, gently but positively, without ner
vous shock, and Cascarets Candy Cathartic is the only medicine to do it.

A prominent wholesale liquor firm reports
that It Is again penetrating the Puget
Sound country for the first time In 10
years. Many retailers there have nen
sending their orders to the East'-for some

greater advantage in Portland. Our man
ufacturers of cereal foods are crowding
the Eastern product out of the market.
No year has ever opened with such
bright prospects as 1902 will open. Trade
has kept up so strong that there is really
no lino between the old year and the new
year. Usually December Is a retail month
in Portland, but there Is no break In
wholesaling. Consequently merchants are
simply taking stock and making room for
the new goods that have been ordered.
Portland needs two things to further her

Snake, however, the case Is different;
they are not so sure of Government aid.
Although Captain W. W. Harts, of the
United States Engineer Corps, recom
