THEMORNINO-OREGOINIAN, -WEDNESDAY. MABCH 26, 1902.
TO GET MARKET PUCE
POMOXJL GRANGE IS DETERMINED
TO FIND A SITE.
If City Council Will Not Give TJ
Market Block, Esot Side Block
Will Be SecHred.
At a meeting' of tle committee composed
of Jasper J. Johnson, C. H. Welch and
F. A. Miller, appointed by Pomona Grange,
Patrons of Husbandry, of Multnomah
County, to investigate the status of the
Market block, on Second and Market
streets, and lay plans to secure a market
place for farmers, held yesterday, a full
programme was agreed upon, after extend
ed discussion. An outline of a campaign
ito secure the desired market place In
Portland was adopted.
J. J. Johnson, chairman of the commit
tee, submitted his report on the title to
the Market block. He made thorough
examination of the records, and found
that the city has a warranty deed to block
232 from W. W. Chapman, dated in 18C6.
for a consideration of $1100. He also found
a number of quit-claim deeds including the
block, but in no way affecting the title
of the city to the block.
Mr. Johnson said that he found nothing
on the records to Indicate for what pur
pose the block was donated, which was
a little disappointing' to the committee, as
it was confidently expected that it would
somewhere be found that it had been do
nated for a farmers' market place, tis
common report had so stated.
C. H "Welch aid that he had been told
by Judge Northup and many others that
it had been donated for that purpose. He
said it had always been generally so un
derstood. However, according to the re
sult of Mr. Johnson's investigation, the
control and title was found vested in the
City Council. "Whether there is another
document bearing on the purpose of the
donation is not yet known, but Mr. John
son said he would continue his Investiga
tion. The committee decided it would pro
ceed on the plan that a. market place is
-wanted by the farmers, and would en
deavor to secure this one If possible; o.nd
if not would see what can be secured on
the East Side. It was thought that a
block near the east end of the Madl-
street-bridge, that would be no further
from the center of the city than the Mar
Vet block, would be suitable. Every ef
fort wjll be madq to secure the Market
block.
It was decided 'to work through the
granges of Multnomah, Clackamas, Wash
ington and Clark Counties, but mainly
through those of Multnomah. A petition
will be circulated through the districts
covered by the several granges, and then
the matter "will be presented to the City
Council by a strong delegation of farmers
representing these counties. Meanwhile
full Information will be gathered concern
ing the working of market places In other
cities. C. H. Welch said that, so far as
his Information extended, in cities where
there are market places, and about all
are so provided, the market places are
carefully regulated. Everything to be sold
in certain lines in the Tray of small fruit,
vegetables, wood, coal, eta, had to be
first brought to the market place in their
respective turns. In this -way the streets
are kept clear of teams. However, the
committee "will gather full Information and
-Bill be fortllled at aJl points.
The times of the meetings of all the
granges in Multnomah County were noted,
and at these meetings a member of the
committee -will be present in person; or
send a communication, asking that com
mittees on circulation of petitions be ap
pointed. Grangers in Clackamas, Wash
ington and Clark Counties will also be
reached. The programme outlined will
take some time to work, out, but it "will
"be pushed energetically and effectively.
The meeting adjourned to meet again at
the call of the chairman.
SOUTHEASTERN CAR SCHEDULE.
Clinton Kelly Board of Trade Voted
to Give It One Month' Trial.
After thorough discussion at a meeting
of the Clinton Kelly Board of Trade last
night, held In the W. C. T. U. Hall, Pow
ell and East Twenty-seventh streets, it
was decided to accept the new proposed
time schedule fixed for that district "by
the City & Suburban Railway Company
for one month, in order to give it a trial.
The new time, when put into effect, will
provide Woodstock and Richmond with
20-minute service. For Richmond, how
ever, there will "be a transfer at East
Twenty-sixth street. For Brooklyn branch
a 20-minute service will be provided, and
also for the district southeast from Grand
avenue.
There was a fair attendance of resi
dents from Woodstock, Kenilworth and
Ulchmond. W. W. Bretherton 'presided.
C. F. Swlgert, of the City & Suburban
Railway Company, was present. The
whole situation and conditions were gone
over in the best of humor. It was ex
plained by Mr. Swlgert that the proposed
time card had been adopted after careful
consideration of the conditions and the
district. He regarded the schedule the
best that could be ma.de for a single
track line for that district. Ralls had
been ordered, he said, for the double
track to East Twenty-sixth street, .and
-when they arrived, which would be next
August, they would be laid as soon as
possible, when the transfer to .Richmond
would be done away with and a 10-mln-ute
service given east from Grand ave
nue. The objections to the new schedule were
mainly to the transfer at East Twenty
sixth street for Richmond and the sub
stitution of a 20-minute service from
Grand avenue to East Twenty-slx"th
street. T. M. Edmonds said that the
transfer would Injure property In Rich
mond 25 per cent. C. J. Southerland also
said that he should oppose- the schedule,
but for the promise of Mr. Swlgert that
It would be only temporary. H. S. Hrr
court spoke strongly In f Ivor of the pro
posed schedule, and declared that it would
be a good thing. T. A. Wood said he
Tegarded the change as a retrograde
action.
After all had spoken for-or against the
change, Mr. Swlgert again went over the
i-ubject, explaining fully where he thought
the new time would be a bene'fit, but re
marked that the company would not At
tempt to force the change In the face
of any considerable opposition of the peo
ple. Councilman Shcrrett favored giving the
change a trial, and then if the people
were not satisfied, said that It would be-l
an easy matter to go back to the old
time. He remarked that he had always
found the City & Suburban Railway Com
pany ready to carry out Its promises.
It was, therefore, moved and carried
that the new schedule be given one
month's trial, and If satisfactory it will
stand until a double track Is laid to
East Twenty-sixth street, when quicker
service will be inaugurated. Hence the
new time will go into effect within a few
days on these conditions.

Itennion Held Lant Nif?ht at the Home

bon was celebrated In a pleasing and en
tertaining manner at the home of Mr. and

To the young ladies of the auxiliary much
credit is due for the unique and attract
ive decorations that everywhere adorned

vailed In the parlors. Spanish marine
flags and American flags entered also
Into thp decorative scheme.

PHYSICIAN'S STRANGE EXPERIENCE
Dr. JohxiMOu Is Conflncd to His Home
With Severe 'Pain in His Heel.
Dr. A. H. Johnson, who lives on the cor
ner of Ninth and East Ankeny streets,
is having a peculiar and painful experi
ence, as he Is confined to his home with
a severe pain in the back of his right
foot above the heel. He was on the West
Side Monday evening waiting for a street
car, when this pain struck him all of a
sudden. At first he thought he had been
hit with a stone, and turned around to see
where the missile came from, but saw
nothing. Suffering -with intense pain in
his heel, he managed to reach his home,
where he passed the night in great misery.
Yesterday there was little If any lmprove
.ment, and the usual remedies -were of no
avail. The cause of the pain is unknown.
There is nothing on the surface to Indi
cate that anything Is the matter. But
Dr. Johnson has had no moments of ease
since Monday evening. Physicians can
not diagnose his ailment.

CONTEST
THOMAS BILYEU,
CORVALLIS. March 25. Thomas
Bllyeu, who won a gold medal for
oratory, and Is to represent the
Agricultural College Prohibition
League in the state contest at Jew
berg, April 23. Is a member of the
senior class. He was born in Linn
County, and Is 22 years of age. He
entered college from Umatilla Coun
ty In 160S, and at once took rank as
a prominent student. In 1000. he
took flryt place and a cash prize In.
an elocutionary contest at the Agri
cultural College. In 1001, he was
defeated by Herman Tartar for first
place as representative of the col
lege In the state oratorical contest,
but was a close second, taking the
rank over several other contestants.
W. T. Shanahan, our chief executive mem
ber, left the society without headquarters,
and, It might be said, without hands. For
a period of over a year little has taken
place except routine business, and many
called meetings of the trustees failed of
a quorum. This condition of lapse was
not Improved from the fact that no Hu
mane Officer has been emploved as such
on the police force during the past two
years. One of the last acts of President
Thompson was to arrange with the hon
orable Commissioners of Pol-re a plan
b which the partial servlre of a compe
tent officer was assured for cftFcs of In
fraction of the law reported through our
society. This duty Is a's'ned to Ofnrr
J. S. Reslng, formerly full Hnmno Offi

will be read.
"The funds of the society, under the
care of A. L-. Mills, treasurer, are well in

nually. "It devolves upon this meeting to fill
the office of four trustees two for two
years and two for three years and also
to elect the administrative officers of the
society for the ensuing year.
"In conclusion. I bespeak the importance
of our trust within the lines of our stated
obiect 'the peventlon of cruelty to "very

cluding humane education.' The work of
the fcclety for the past 30 years has been
comparatively modest and Inconspicuous,
consisting as It does In very large pnrt
of constant warning", systematizes in
rpections and of preventive measures, and
of arr-8t and prosecution only 'n extreme
or defiant ci"c nf abuse. Such work,
supplemented bv the Interest mnlntninorf
i through tho arrual prizes offered In the

of treatment of 3nlmals In this communltv
prenimably as high as In any city In the
country. We continue to rely upon hu
mane education and a Just, public senti
ment as the chief factors In procuring a
just consideration of animal life In every
relation of that life- with human society
and with the Individuals composing that
society. We ask the generous co-operation
of ali good citizens, and their intel
ligent criticism. We do not claim to be
free from the bias or narrowness which
must always be reckoned upon in in
tensive work and to which all philan
thropic' work Is at times exposed. If we

with them. We believe that our special
concern with the lowly HVes of beasts of
burden and the dumb companions of
man's dally life, in the field and home
and street, raving them from cruelty and
insisting upon their place In a divine econ
omy as our teachers and helpers, as well
as servants. Is a needed function, the ful
fillment of which Is a benefit to mankind
at Inrge The community cannot be re
minded too often that a society to protect
dumb animals 'is lifting the general stand

every poor seamstress In her garret, and,
every orphan In the streets.' "

Plans of Carnegie Iastltatlon.
NEW YORK March 25. Dr. Daniel C.
Gllman ex-president . of Johns Hopkins
University and the present head of the,
new Carnegie Institution, who is In this
city, said of the new Institution:
"We are very busy now with plans for
the work aheid of us. We have received
hundreds of letters, some of them trivial,
but some of them worthy of serious
consideration. Then, too, we are writing
'a great many letters ourselves to differ
ent leaders in" their branches of science
or education, asking for advice -and sug
gestions. Thus, the whole affair' is at
present In & somewhat embryonic state.
It Is being shaped, and at the present
moment there Is nothing definite to be
announced, not even any further appoint
ments'. You see the funds are not 'avail
able until August, and work will not be
gin until November at the earliest.
"We still have to keep straightening out
people's ideas of the scope and plan Mr.
Carnegie had In mind. Hedd not fourfll
a college: there are to be no students.
He planned to encourage higher re
searches evedywhere, ant those who will
engage In this research will not be called
students."
POTENCY OF THE PRIMARY
Aa Exhibited at Portland, and the
Results Thereof.
Tacoma Ledger.
The City of Portland has furnished the
country with -an example of how to elect
Senators by popular vote. The lesson that
the Portland episode teaches Is that If
the people wtnt to elect their own Sen
ators they must go to the primaries; or,
Jn other words, they must not leave poli
tics to the politicians, and then com
plain If It Is not well done. Portland has
not defeated Senator Simon for re-election
or elected a good man In his place, but
she has decreed that the men who go up
to the Legislature from Multnomah Coun
ty shall be found voting against him when
the last ballot Is counted. And that prac
tically means that the Senator's sphere
of usefulness shall hereafter be confined
to local politics.
The people of Oregon are to be congrat
ulated upon the fact that they run their
own politics, and that they are able to
drop at their own will a man of the type
of statesmanship not congenial to them.
Simon's only shrewd political move was
to get himself elected on a fluke that
left him standing In the light of an ln
grate to his friends. He seems to be
much that the popular conception of an
Ideal Senator Is not. In a position that
presupposes benignity and breadth of
sympathy, he Is credited with being nar
row and cold and bigoted. Where hlgh
mlndedness Is demanded, he Is devoted to
celf-lntercst. He has never tried to de
serve popular favor, but has kept his
thumb upon a few precinct leaders In his
own county. He knows the geography of
the state by the political bosses of the
counties. He has already been rewarded
far beyond his deserts, and the people
seem determined to cut short his career.
The Oregonians are not always so un
fortunate In their political selections. Si
mon's colleague Is a Senator of a differ
ent stamp. Senator Mitchell Is a National
figure, and" has been for CO years a friend
at court for the Northwest. He got off
on the free silver heresy, and the people
of Oregon, to show that they were run
ning thlnrs. left him out of the Senate for
a teem. But he Is back again and making
up for his mistake. He Is a Senator who
gets things done at Washington, and yet
finds time for those little things at home
which may be grouped Under the head of,
"policy." He remembers tne Indian War
veteran who may need a pension; he con
gratulates the youth whose mother he
knew, upon his coming of age; he sym
pathizes with a family or community
upon the loss of a. pioneer; he does a
hundred other things that cost little, but
count , for much, and, at the very least,
show that he does not despise., ns does his
colleague, the hand that feeds him.
Such Is the difference between men who
seek popular favor, and where that favor
Is so often abused It Is comforting to find
occasionally n public that is able and will
ing to discriminate.
ST. LOUIS FIRST.
Washington Most Also Be on the
Alert at Portland in 1005. ,
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
It Is all right to awaken an Interest
In the showing that Washington expects
to make at the Lewis and Clark Centen
nial Exhibition, to be hsld at Portland In
1905. The occasion Is an Important one,
the place eo near at hand that our work
Is sure to be contrasted with that of the
other Coast States, to our credit or our
shame, and we must be on the alert to
see that this state puts Its best foot fore
most. This It will do If we get rid of
the political influences responsible for
the unfortunate experience of the state at
Buffalo, and there Is time enough In which
to make sure that we go Into this enter
prise as a business affair arid on business
principles.
But there Is a closer and a far more
Important event for which we hnve made
no preparation as yet whatever. The
Lewis and Clark Centennial, though high
ly meritorious and Immensely successful,
as we have no doubt that It will be. Is
still In a certain sense a local enterprise.
It will not attempt the functions of a
great world's fair. This Is not true of the
great exposition at St. Louis, for which
preparations are now far advanced. This
will be a' world's fair In the full meaning
of the term an exposition to be ranked
with that at Philadelphia In 1S76 and that
at Chicago in 1S33. All the nations of the
wprld will participate. The visitors will
be numbered by millions, and they will
come from every corner of the globe.
There Is not a community which has so
much it stake In preparing a suitable
and representative exhibit for the St.
Louis exposition as the State of Washing
ton. We have unbounded wealth of un
developed resources. People everywhere
have heard of the prospects of" the North
Pacific, and of the wonderful growth
and promised future of Its principal city.
They are where an appeal to the eye
will convince them; where a proper show
ing will bring people trooping to the state
and send capital pouring In upon us In
a golden stream. It Is a great opportu
nity; we may say It Is the great opportu
nity for Washington, for there will be no
other International exposition held In this
country during the period of our present
growth.
Nd words can be too strong for stating
our duty in this matter or for painting
the advantages certain to accrue from
the preparation and establishment of an
exhibit at St. Louis that will, set forth
the wonderful resources and attractions
THE NEW WOMAN.
Made Over by Quitting Coffee.
Coffee probably wrecks a greater per
centage of Southerners than Northern
people, for Southerners use It more free
ly. The work It docs Is distressing enough In
some Instances; as an illustration. Miss
Sue W. Falrall, 517 N. 4th St., Richmond,
Va., writes: "I was a coffee drinker for
years, and for about six years my health
was completely shattered. I suffered
fearfully with headaches and nervous
ness, also palpitation of the heart and
loss of appetltle.
"My sight gradually 'tiegan to fall, and
finally I lost the sight of one eye alto
gether. The eye was operated upon and
the sight partially restored, then I be
came totally blind In the other eye.
"My doctor used to urge me to give up
coffee, but I was willful and continued to
drink it until finally In a last case of se
vere Illness the doctor Insisted that I
must give up the coffee, so I began us
ing" the Pofitum Food Coffee, nnd In a
month I felt like a new creature
"I steadily gained In health and strength.
About a month ago I began using Grape
Nuts Breakfast Food nnd the effect has
been wonderful. I really feel like a new
woman and have gained about 25 pounds.
"I am quite an elderly lady, and before
using Postum and Grape-Nuts I could not
walk a square without exceeding fatigue,
now I walk 10 or 12 without feeling it.
Formerly In reading I could remember
but little, but now my memory holds fast
what I read.
"Several friends who have seen the re
markable effects of Postum and Grape
Nuts on'me have urged that I glve the
facts to the public for the sake of suffer
ing humanity, so, although I dislike pub
licity, you can publish this letter and my
name if you like." '
of the State of Washington and present
its Invitation to the world. It Is high
time that this matter should receive the
attention of our public officials and busi
ness men. If the community is not to suf
fer, through inadequate representation at
St. Louis, a loss that dollars can scarcely,
measure. "
His Fl&area Too Low.
PORTLAND. March 25. (To the Editor.)
Cdy attention has been called to the fig
ures presented In my cpmmunlcatlon pub
lished today In The Oregonlan. I stated
the assessed valuation of the Alblna wa
ter works, the property referred to, as
$17.C00, which. In fact, was assessed In 1301
at $32,360, the first figures being the as
sessment for 1SO0. In either event, the.
values, judged by the subsequent sale to
the city, are disproportionate, and eon
firm my previous statement that such acts
"result In the shifting of the burden from
those able to pay their just proportion of
the taxes to those less able." I hasten
to rectify the misstatement In figures, so
no injustice may be done.
