President Corbett occupied the chair,

this meeting and the minutes of the pre

Corbett an ex-officio member. This pre
pared the way for the report of the by

The by-laws recommended by the com

nearly three columns of agate type. "VVhen

tho list of "standing committees was read
Mr. Scott said his attention had been
called, since the publication of the by
laws, to the fact that no committee had
been provided to have charge of athletic
Bports and games, and he deemed that
feature of the celebration worthy of a
Standing committee to look after it. There
teemed general assent to the proposal to

continued. President Corbett was afraid

but 10.S754 shares, while 14,978 shares were
necessary fcr .a quorum. No business
t-ould be legally transacted, so the only
thing to do was to adjourn. But there
were various remarks and suggestions as
to the most convenient time of meeting
nnd the most effective plan to get a
quorum to attend the meeting. Director
Devers thought the meeting would ac
commodate more people if held in the
evening. Director Wolfe insisted that
what was everybody's business was no
body's' business, and that if specific ac
tion were not taken stockholders would
meet again without a quorum. There
fore he advocated a committee to attend
to the matter, and Messrs. Devers, Wolfe
and McGuire were appointed as such com
mittee. Then came suggestions to ad

It was agreed that adjournment should be

PLACE FOR A MONUMENT.
Apparent Confuwion of Two Separate
Commemorative 11 mm.
SPOKANE. Feb."irT-(To the Editor.)
So far Mr. HImes seems to stand alone
in what seems to be a most sensi
ble suggestion In regard to the location
of the proposed soldiers' monument. I
had hoped others would contribute to the
discussion, but the unanimity of silence
seems to indicate entire satisfaction with
the proposal to erect the monument in
one of the cemeteries of the city. Al
though the matter seems to be practically
settled, Judging from reports in The Ore
gonlan, yet as a small contributor to the
fund I desire to go on record as protest
ing against a decision which I believe
the future will put to shame when it is
too late to leversc it. There are several
considerations which have Important
bearing on this question. In the first
place, the fund wa.s contributed by the
state at large, to commemorate the sol
dier dead of the entire state. Neither
sect, locality nor public or fraternal so
ciety has superior right in It. Except
in point of numbers, an offer might Just
as well be considered to have it erected
in the Hebrew or Catholic Cemetery as
at Lone Fir.
Secondly the object of this monument
I understand is two-fold: A memorial
to the Oregon boys wh6 gave their lives
in the Spanish War, and a commemora
tion of the victors they helped to win
and of the new territory acquired by the
United States. The purpose and teach
ings of such a monument, when it Is
really a work of art. Is civic ami educa.
tive rather than religious and emotional,
and as such it ought to appeal daily to
the higher culture of the Individual, from
childhood to maturity. This effect would
be utterly lost if It were placed In a
cemetery- A monument of this kind, if
not "Liberty Enlightening the World," is
at least Its hand-maiden, for the drama
in the world's history of which It Is to be
tho beacon In Oregon thrilled the Na
tions to higher conceptions of liberty and
Jufitlce. To build this monument In a
cemetery will. It seems to me, with due
deference to the wisdom of the committee,
be such a travesty upon art and all the
higher Instincts of civilization as would
put an eternal quietus upon the new
spirit of civic Improvement In Portland.
Of course, if it is intended to set up a
cheap. Inartistic affair, butchered out of
rock at so much per foot by a. tombstone
manufacturer, then by all means put It
in the cemetery, and inscribe thereon. In
everlasting brass, the names, not of the
honored dead, but of tnc committee re
sponsible for it.
Wo have waited two years for It: why
not wait a year or two more, and in the
meantime offer $1500 out of the sum
pledged as prizes (not over three) for
competitive designs, open to the world;
then appoint a committee of artists to
select the best, and then build It in the
city where It may be seen of all men.
Such a work will be an honor to the dead,
to the living, to the city and state, a
perpetual source of pride and a good step
toward the realization of that more beau
tiful city. C. H. SHOLES.
The correspondent seems to confuse the
monument to the dead of the Second
Oregon, which Is to be erected In a
public place in Portland, with the .so
called soldiers' monument, under other
auspices, which will be erected in a cem
etery. LOW RATES TO COQUILLE.
How Sim Prnnclxco lint nn Advan
tage Over Portland.
A mercantile firm at Coqullle has writ
ten to Portland, asking why freight rates
from San Francisco are lower than from
Portland. He says that in buying farm
wagons he can save between 54 and ?o
on each by ordering from San Francisco.
As prices of wagons and farm machinery
are the same here as at the Bay City, and
as freight rates to the Coos Bay region
are supposed to be the same from this
city as from the other, something" ap
pears wrong. The matter has been, re
ferred to the transportation committee of
the Chamber of Commerce.
The explanation of the discrepancy,
given by a shipping man. Is as follows:
On regular steamship lines freight rates
to Marshileld and Coquille nre the same
from Portland as from San Francisco
namely ?3 per ton on first-class goods
to Marshfield, and 54 to Coqullle. To Co
qullle, however, there are no regular
boats, because of the shallowness of the
Coqullle River bar. Light lumber schoon
ers enter the river. They take away on
an average about 100,000 feet of lumber
each. All this trade is with San Fran-
Cisco. Naturally these vessels are eager
for return cargoes. They will take freight
to Coquille at low rates, between $2 and
53 per ton. sometimes lower. Inasmuch
as Portland has no lumber trade of this
kind, its coasting business with such
places as Coqullle Is limited. In the- pat
four months the number of these small
vessels has increased so that freights
north from San Francisco are lower than
ever, and regular steamers feel the com
petition. The only way that shipments from
Portland reach Coquille Is by the rail
road between Marshfield and that place.
The flrst-clas-s freight rate to Marshfield
is $3 per ton. and to Coquille 51 higher,
but in shipments to Coquille the rail
road and the boats divide the charges
equally.
Portland has a fat-growlng trade with
the Coos Bay country. The business con.
slst.s mostly in Hour ind feed. Coos Bay
imports M per cent of tluse staples from
this city. There are three shipyards at
Coos Bay and one on the Coquille River.
They are owned in San Francisco, and get
their supplies mostly from that city. Port
land sends there large quantities of
groceries. Almost all the output of the
creameries of that district goes to San
Francisco.

BAD NEWS FOR 552.10-ERS
CAX'T EAT MEAT AXY MORE, NOW
THAT PIUCES AltE UP.
Batchers Combine and Decide That
They Arc Entitled to Fatter
Profit.
Retail butchers in town have definitely
decided to raise the price of meats from
"4 cent to 2& cents per pound. This de
cision was reached at a meeting attended
by 22 butchers Tuesday evening, at the
iouthwest corner of Sixth and Washing
ton streets: but the date on which ad
vanced pricew will be charged customers
has not yet been determined on. Tem
porary organization was effected with Jo
seph Forrester as president and Frank L.
Smith secretary. Unless plans are upset,
the new society will be known as the
Portland Butchers' Board of Trade.
Efforts were made by those butchers
present at the meeting to prevent pro
ceedlngo becoming known to the public.
It was a rigid star chamber session. The
butchers who were in evidence were a
jolly-looking, red-cheeked lot and they
smoked two-bit cigars. They wore good
clothes and did not have the appearance of
men who are losing money, as they nay
they are doing, by charging unremuner
ative prices for meat. When President
Forrester took the chair two prosperous
but nervous-looking butchers arose to
their feet at once and asked that all re
porters be excluded. "We do not want
a single reporter present, and when we
do wo will send for him," said one of the
speakers. - There were murmurs of assent,
and then the motion was put and carried
that reporrers be excluded, and The Ore
gonlan reporter retired, at this broad hint.
"You won't get a word of this," said one
butcher, as a parting rejoinder.
The weslon that followed was an acri
monious one, and lasted until nearly mid
night. First ore thing was projMjsed and
then another. But tne meeting went on
record as being desirous of increasing the
price of meat sold to customers. It was
determined -to raise the price of cheap
parts of the meat by "A cent per pound,
and to have a sliding j-cale on the more
valuable portions by charging an advance
of about 2 conto per pound on present
rates. It was argued that the rates In
sisted on by wholesalers for the Winter
made an advance on retail prices abso
lutely necessary.
"We can't kick at our Summer trade,
when the pasture Is good and livestock
can fatten outdoors," remarked one
speaker, "but It is the WinteV rates from
wholesalers we complain of. Stock must
be fed during the present season with
hay and nourishment carried indoors, and
there Is considerable expense Just now
bringing the stock to market. That's
what I'm told. And as the wholesalers
are -charging us increased rates why,
take It out of the consumer?." (Great ap
plause.) A committee of seven, with Joseph Nash
as chairman, was appointed to meet last
night in secret nesslon and prepare a list
of prices on the new schedule, and this
list will be submitted for approval to a
meeting of the Butcher- Board of Trade,
called somewhere for this evening.
A big butcher with a black mustache
went on record as being opposed to the
continuance of the free delivery of hearts
and bones to the proprietors of restau
rants. "If those people Ih hearts and
bones let them pay for them. We have
been giving them this stuff without charge
too long." he said. This was put in the
form of a motion and carried. It was also
decided that the custom should cease of
butchers In the central part of tho city
delivering purchases of 10 cents' worth,of
meat to- suburban customers. "Let the
10-cent people In the suburbs buy from
butchers who have store? in their neigh
borhood," remarked one speaker.
"Mister President: This Is an age of
combines an age, I maj say, when we
have to strive In favor of an economical
distribution of labor," stated another
sneaker, and he paused for the applauw
which didn't come. Then he went on: "1
have been carefully studying the principles
of J. Plerpont Morgan. I'm in favor of
cutting down our working expenses, to
save money. I say. abolish paid solicitors
calling on restaurant proprietors for men:
orders. Force the restaurant people to
come to us." This was also put In the
form of a motion and adopted.
Then a more delicate question was taken
up the disciplining of a wholesale meat
firm on Front street and It was at first
propo.ed to boycott this firm for Its busi
ness methods. But one shrewd butcher
poured cold water on this- proposition by
remarking that. If the butchers present re
fused to handle meat sold by the firm in
questfon, the firm would undoubtedly go
into the retail business an well as whole
sale, and sell direct to restaurants. "Bet
ter let sleeping dogs He. gentlemen." ad
vised the peacemaker, and tho meeting
did not do anything further In this par
ticular line.
One reputable butcher, who does a large
city trade, was approached yesterday and
as--ked for Information as to Tufcsdav
evening's meeting of his confreres. He
said: "We did not have a meeting, and
the prlco of meat is. not to be advanced."
Other butchers who were approached for
Information by Oregonlan men declined to
talk, and said they did not wish anything
said about the subject.
Butchers talking privately with one an
other have expressed their disappoint
ment with the attendance at Tuesdav
evening's mee-ting. Instead of an attend
ance of 22, they expected over 100.
BARBERS MAY ITT UP PRICES.
Thirty-five Centx for Haircut. Five
Cents for Xeelc Shnve.
Barbers are scheming to raise the price
of haircutting to 23 cents per person,
about April 1 a sharp advance of 40 per
cent on the pretent rate of 23 cents. It is
also proposed to charge 25 cents for an
application of sea-foam, a hair was-h and
5 cents for a neck shave. A few daring
spirits among the barbers are talking of
asking 25 cents for a shave. The whole
proposition was discussed at a meeting of
the Journeymen Barbers' Union, held last
Monday night, and it was decided to do
nothing definite until a conference Is held
at an early date between Journeymen
barbers and employers.
None of the barbers Interviewed yester
day would talk for publication, saying that
the details of the deal had not yet been
completed. One journeyman barber said:
'VThlrty-five cents for n haircut is not
asking too much. Wages are advancing
all along the line, and the prices of pro
visions are also advancing. Why should
not the barbers share In the good times?
We do not want any more than our share.
The sum necessary to keep up a first!
class barber shop is heavy, and I'm afraid
we won't get our present wages very long
unless the bosses make customers pay
more than they do now."
A boss barber said: "I am in favor of
a uniform rate for haircutting. You may
rest assured that this establishment will
not charge a man 35 cents for cutting his
hair if he can get the job done at other
places for 25 cents. The cost of. living is
increasing, and we can't pay the present
wages very long unless we charge our
customers a little more. There Is no prop
osition before us to charge 25 cents for a
shave."
"Various citizens who were approached
heard the announcement with choleric In
dignation that the rate for haircutting
was to be Increased, and declared that
they would not pay the 35 cents, but they
did not explain what method they pro
posed to adopt to separate themselves
from their Surplus hair. Bald-headed men
heard the news with indifference. It was
stated that the price for cutting hair In
Seattle Is 35 cents.
For the past 19 yeans or so the rate for
haircutting in this city, at first-class bar.
ber shops, has been 25 cents. Before that
period the rate for haircutting and bath
was 50 cents. There was one well-known
barber shop In these early days, patron
ized extensively by miners from Idaho and
other sections, where this sign stared cus
tomers in the face: "When gentlemen
are through with the bath, please pull up
the plug." When the transcontinental
railroad was finished to Portland, how
ever, prices dropped, and the rate for
haircutting with them.
'THE MILLIONAIRE MARINE."
Meteoric Career of E. I. Diryer, of
Flavel Fame.
A great many citizens of Portland and
Astoria will remember E. L. Dwyer, who
was a resident of this state In the early
'90s and was prominently connected with
several Important enterprises, notably the
founding of the town of Flavel. He cut a
pretty ,wide swath during his career here,
and all agree that he was a fine fellow,
but once In a while he would arrange a
little celebration, and then the country
was not big enough for him. He was a
rapid young man. but his doings here
were tame compared to his experiences
after leaving here, as will be seen by the
following sketch published In the New
York Sun of the 5th Inst., under the head
ing of "Millionaire Marine Fined":
Edward L. Dwyer, once wheat specu
lator, mlneowner and husband of an Ital
ian Duchess born in Brooklyn, now a
member of the United States Marine
Corps and as such known as the "million
aire marine," was fined 35 In the Jefferson
E. Ij. Dwyer.
Market Police Court yesterday, for smash
ing the windows of a University Place sa
loon, t
Dwyer is now a man of about 40. He
came first Into public view in 1SSC, when
he startled the Chicago wheat pit by his
purchases of wheat for future delivery.
His marriage to the Duchess of Castelluc
cla. formerly Miss Jennie A. Tomajo, of
Brooklyn, occurred at Rock Ledge, Fla..
In January, 1S93, when the ceremony was
honored by the presence of Richard
Croker and, a party of friends. Mrs.
Dwyer. whose fortune was estimated at
57,OCO,OCO, died not long afterward, leaving
to Tier husband a nominal cash legacy and
an island off the Maine coast. On th6 lat
ter Dwyer was said to have realized 5133,
OM. He went into bankruptcy in this city
in May.lSK. with 5252.000 liabilities and no
asseL!. Before the end of that year he
had organized a 51.300.000 company to op
erate silver mines In Mexico.
His enlistment In the Marine Corps took
place In Philadelphia in May, 1900. It was
said at the time that he was penniless and
tired of life. He said In court yesterday
that he had enlisted while out for a good
time, because he thought It would be such
fun, and that the whole meaning of the
joke did not present Itself to him until re
flectfon, when the step 'could not be re
tracted. Dwyer was sent to the Philip
pines, and as a Government Interpreter
made himself useful through his knowl
edge of Spanish. .
The following pa-tlculars In regard to
tho early history of Mr. Dwyer are from
a sketch of him printed here in 1892:
Mr. Dwyer was born in Tarrlngton,
Conn., In 1857, and moved West at the
early age of 14 years, settling In Chicago.
In 1869 he went to Mexico with a com
pany of American merchants, to develop
trade, between that country and the United
States, and was the first to introduce
American farming implements into gen
eral use in that country. 'He afterwards
became interested In extensive mining op
erations In Mexico, and was Instrumental
In procuring British capital for the devel
opment of the great coal Interests of that
country. Of' late years Dwyer has been
engaged In extensive business affairs con
nected with Western lands and other
Western interests. He has given special
attention to the development of the com
mercial, shipping and realty Interests of
Astoria, and the section adjacent thereto
bordering on the shores of the mouth of
the Columbia. He is noted for his tireless
energy and sound judgment, and his
opinions on determining the adaptability
of different sections for commercial
growth and development are accepted as
authority in the best financial circles.

MANDARIN OF THE
Precious Ruby Clasp.
An illustrious Chinese mandarin was
put on the famous American food, Grape
Nuts, and he and his wife cured of stom
ach and kidney trouble and heart dis
order after he. in partlculir, had been
pronounced byhls physicians Incurable.
His letter Is written by his Interpreter
and signed with his Chinese signature.
It recites: "For three years I was under
the care of the best physicians In Russia,
Germany, France, America, as well as
my own country. I had trled baths and
water cures almost without number. I
grew worse until finally my physician
pronounced me Incurable and I was
doomed to die in from three to six
months.
"A friend prevailed upon, me to change
my food and take up Grape-Nuts. This
I did more to gratify my friend than
from any benefit I expected, but within
24 hours the results were so gratifying
as to astonish and delight myself and
family.
"My Improvement continued without re
lapse, until at "the end of three months I
wns well and sound, weighed more and
was stronger and had a better appetite
and more perfect digestion than at any
other time In my life.
"My wife was also a victim of serious
stomach trouble from which she had suf

restored to good, robust health by the
use of Grape-Nuts.

His Interpreter and secretary, E. Per

moderately stated. I also, and my family,
have received much benefit' from the use

There Are Two Points
To be considered when buying a set of books. They are (1st) literary merit
and consequent value and utility; (2d), mechanical excellence, involving ap
pearance when thebooksareontheshelves,durability,legibilityandil!ustration.
In the several previous advertisements of this work published in The
Oregonian a tithe of its literary treasures has been suggested. It would re
quire many more pages to tell them all. Almost every mail brings a letter
of praise from some new viewpoint of a subscriber.
It is of the extraordinary book-making (from the mechanical stand
point) that we wish to tell at this time. i
Is complete in ten volumes which, in the five cardinal mechanical points of
a book, are really marvelous. A few years ago such books would have cost
several times the present price, which is so small that it will not strain the
most modest purse strings.
THE TYPE is French Old Style of clear letter, cast especially for this
work. The type page is about 6f by 3j inches; the paper page, 9 by 6h
inches, allowing a handsome and convenient margin, making continuous and
evening reading a pleasure.
THE PAPER is made by contract especially for this work. It is soft
and smooth, medium weight, high quality, and ultra-durable. Jt will never
crack or fade. .
THE PRINTING is done with scrupulous care.' In order to insure
perfect register essential where uncut deckle-edge paper is used, the presses
are run at half speed in printing, and only half the usual number of pages
are printed in each "form." The illustrations are printed by hand from the
engravers' original plates on Imperial Japanese vellum.
Great attention has been paid to the selection and reproduction of THE
ILLUSTRATIONS. They are executed in photogravure full-page size.
There are seventy-five of them. They are direct "positive" reproductions
from original sources in each case, without the usual intermediate steps of
one to three "negatives," in each of which some detail is lost.
THE BINDINGS are in three styles,priced according to elegance and ex
pensive finish; eachstyle,however,hasits individual charm irrespectiveof price.
