BENEFIT TO '05 FAIR
St. Louis Enterprise Helpful
to Lewis and Clark.
SO DECLARES JOHN BARRETT
How Good Advertlttlnsr Mar Be Se
cured Exhibits, and How o Ob
tain Tliexn The Effect of
Postponement:
If it should be desired by the man
agement to postpone the St. ' Louis Ex
position from 1003 to 1904, no objec
tion will be raLed by the Lewis and
Clark directors. There seems to be ap
rrehenelon In St. Louis that opposition
will be made by the Oregon delegation
at "Washington, but assurances ars now
given to the contrary- Most cordial
support will be given by Oregon and
the Lewis and Clark Corporation to the
great Missouri snterprise.
j There was an informal meeting of the
ILewIs and Clark directors yesterday af
'ternoon to confer with John Barrett, Com-Ixnissloner-General
to "the Orient for the
St. Louis Exposition. President Corbett
presided, and after a few preliminary re
marks he asked Sir. Barrett to present
his statement to the board. Mr. Barrett
referred to the circumstances that led
n tn Yiix rnnnpptlnn with the St. Louis
enterprise, and spoke of the work ho had
done toward promoting foreign, especially
Oriental, interest In the fair. He men
tioned the probability that it would be
Ifound advisable to postpone the opening of
the St. Louis Fair until 1901, and of the
Impression that had gained currency in
St Louis that the Lewis and uiarK au
thorities would oppose such postpone
ment, and discussed somewhat the rela
tions of the two exposition enterprises.
The gist of his remarks was presented in
the following summary:
1. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition can bo
'Utilized as a special means of advertising the
"Lewis and Clark Exposition. A building at a
small expense could bo erected by the latter at
St. Louis, Just as the Louisiana Purchase Ex
position had a building at Buffalo, and has
Others at some of the expositions in Europe.
2. Tho Lewis and Clark Exposition should
favor a worthy representation at St. Louis on
the part of Oregon. Possibly the exposition
and the state might pool issues in the form of
a building. In fact, this Is a suggestion that
'has a practical side. Such action would at
once arouse the reciprocal Interest of the St.
Louis "World's Fair and of the principal states
of the Louisiana Purchase.
3. The Lewis and Clark Exposition can se
cure easily, at one-third of the expense It
would otherwise cost, a selection of the best
exhibits at St. Louis, b6th home and foreign,
kand thus offset and make up completely for
the effect upon the Lewis and Clark Exposition
of exhibitors, both foreign and home, not wish
ing to make individual separate efforts for two
expositions coming so close together.
4. In view of the fact that some effort has
nlrc&ly been made by some Portland organiza
tion, through the. state's Congressional delega
tion at Washington, to oppose postponement of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition "until 1004,
and of tho -possible unfortunate effect of such
action at "Washington in jeopardizing the in
terests of tho Lewis and Clark Exposition In
the matter of securing an appropriation, etc.,
it is to be hoped that tho Lewis and Clark
directors may disavow this Oregon antagonism
to postponement to 1904.
0. If the Louisiana Purchase Exposition be
postponed until 1904. as now seems to some ex
tent probable and necessary out of deference to
the wishes of foreign nations, and in the light
of various other apparently insurmountable con
ditions to its being held in 1903, there is no
question that such postponement will be direct
ly helpful to the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
The experience of tho Midwinter Fair at San
Francisco, which was a success In every way,
following Just after the Chicago "World's Fair,
is a notable precedent.
6. If the Lewis and Clark Exposition comes
In 19C5, Just after the Louisiana Purchase Ex
position in 1904, it should be possible to get the
foreign countries, especially the Asiatic, to
continue their exhibits, or the best part of
them, at Portland, and to retain as their rep
resentatives there one or more of the Commis
sioners they will send to St. Louis. If two
years were to elapsf, it would be most difficult
to do this.
7. If the Lewis and Clark directors recom
mend to their Senators and Congressmen, or to
those of the Northwest States, to vote favor
ably for postponement of the St. Louis "World's
Fair until 1904, they can expect reciprocal in
terest on the part of the Senators and Con
pressmen of the Central "West and of the Louis
iana Purchase, notable among whom are the
chairmen respectively of the Senate and House
appropriation or finance committee.
8. If now the Lewis and" Clark management
and the Northwest Influences heartily JoIb in
promoting the interests of the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition, and in favoring postponement
if that is determined upon, they will be as
sured of tho good will of the management of
"the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, with all its
complicated machinery and vast influences now
at work. For example, tho Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition is spending- alone for foreign
exploitation some $200,000, while it will spend
an equal or greater amount on extra measures
of home publicity. In short, the expenditure of
approximately ?25,000,000 at St. Louis by the
time the fair Is opened is a sufficient measure of
its value to tho Lewis and Clark Exposition as
a friend and ally.
President Corbett said he had written
to Senator Mitchell and Congressman
Tongue, protesting against postponement
of the St. Louis Fair from 1903 to 1905
-which would bring it in direct conflict
with the Lewis and Clark celebration. The
basis of his information that such post
ponement was contemplated was a news
paper paragraph sent him from Idaho. He
had not objected to putting the St. Louis
Fair over from 1903 to 1904. and had even
thought such postponement might operate
to the advantage of the Lewis and Clark
enterprise, and had so stated In a news
paper interview, giving the same reasons
that had been presented by Mr. Barrett.
Mr. Corbett said it would be quite satis
factory to him personally to have the St.
Louis Fair deferred for a year, and he
asked for an expression of opinion from
other directors.
Director Scott said he thought It would
be advantageous to us, rather than other
wise, if the Louisiana Purchase Exposi
tion should be postponed a year and that
we should very readily assent to such ac
tion If our assent should be asked.
Director Frlede said the only possible
objection he could think of would be the
disadvantage that might result from hav
ing the two expositions so close to
gether. .
Director Fenton asked Mr. Barrett when
the St. Louis fair would close, and the
reply was that It must close by the first
of December. This would leave a period
of five months between the closing of the
St. Louis fair and the opening of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition, which could
be profitably used In transferring exhibits
to Portland and arranging them effective
ly. If the St. Louis fair should take place
in 1903 there would be a period of 17
months between Its close and the opening
of the Lewis and Clark Fair, during which
time exhlbItswould be dissipated and en
tirely new arrangements would be neces
sary for the Lewis and Clark celebration.
Mr. Fenton moved that It was the sense
of the board that the president should
express to President Francis, of the Louis
iana Purchase Exposition, and to our Sen
ators and Representatives in Congress
our hearty co-operation with the Louis
iana Purchase Exposition and concurrence
in postponement of that exposition until
1904, if necessary, toward which end we
should be glad to do whatever should be
required of us. This was carried without
dissent, and Mr. Barrett said it would
give pleasure to the St. Louis authorities.
Then a vote of thanks to Mr. Barrett
was passed, and he was- requested to keep
the board Informed of the Oriental at
titude and of any act that could be taken
here to promote Oriental co-operation with
the Lewis and Clark celebration. Mr.
Barrett assured the board that he would
Tceep the Lewis and Clark enterprise In
mind. He said ho expected to be In the
Oriental countries nine months to a year,
though he might return to this country
before concluding his work abroad if the
exposition should be postponed a year.
"TAMING OF THE SHREW"
Shakespeare Comedy lyt the Mnr
quam Thin Afternoon.
Mr. Charles B. Hanford, supported by
Helen Grantly and an excellent company,
will open their engagement at the Mar
quam Grand Theater this afternoon at
2:15 o'clock, presenting Shakespeare's de
lightful comedy. "The Taming of the
Shrew," continuing In the same bill at the
evening performance. The scenery plays
an Important part In the revival of the
"Taming of the Shrew." In this produc
tion are several magnificent sets of scen
ery which were painted by leading New
York artists. They are all of a hand
some and expensive character, but the
most pleasing is an Italian garden scene,
whjch Is said to be so strikingly beautiful
that when the curtain rises and discloses
the exquisite colorings of Its terraces and
fihrubberles the spectators never fall to
express their admiration by loud ap
plause. The supporting company has been
selected from the leading" Shakespearean
exponents of the country, and Includes
Marie Drofnah, Emma Hayner, P. A.
Nannary. Irving Knight, Poland Gibson,
Harold Flske, Paul Anderson, Hearn Col
lins, John C. Davis, L. W. Browning, and
William J. Shea.
"Nathan Hale."
The sale of seats for Howard Kyle In
"Nathan Hale" opened yesterday morn
ing at the Marquam Grand Theater, where
the company appears next Monday, Tues
day and "Wednesday -nights. It will be
produced with full stage settings, and cos
tumes appropriate to the time, and a
company of competent players. Around
the heroic character, from whom the play
derives its name,r the author has woven a
romance of absorbing Interest. From the
time the scene opens In the historic school
house In New England, to the end of the
play, where the self-sacrificing patriot.
.Hale, exclalirs, as did the original In the
heroic drama of the Revolution: "I only
regret that I have but one life to lose
for my country," the interest continues
to grow, and the audience seems to feel
that It Is living the struggles for liberty
In the early days of the Nation. One,
can but regret that the play must end
with the death of the hero, but fidelity
to the historical narrative left the
author no alternative, and It is this same
fidelity, carried through the whole pro
duction, that gives to the play Its un
surpaFsed and well-merited claim to
human sympathy.
"Under Two Fins'
"Under Two Flags," which proved such
an attraction at Cordray's early In the
week, will be repeated for a limited en
gagement, beginning Sunday night. The
production is by far the most elaborate
that. has been given the piece in Port
land, and no expense has been spared to
make it complete in every detail. The
sand storm Is the most realistic of its
kind that ingenuity can devise, while the
costuming, scenery and every accessory
is elaborate to an unusual degree. Miss
Jessie Shirley has found in Cigarette a
part which suits her better than any" in
her repertoire, and the reception accorded
her early In tire 'week shows what an Im
pression she made.
"When Renben Comes to ToWn."
"When Reuben Comes to Town" was
written by Herman Perlet with the con
viction that there were a great many peo
ple in the world that wanted to be
amused, and that would prefer a clean
comedy, with a melodious embellishment,
to any other form of entertainment. With
this end in view he evolved the clever
plot and funny situations of "When Reu
ben Comes to Town," and surrounded
it all with a musical environment that
charms and delights the ear, as much as
the pretty girls, beautiful scenery, and
gorgeous costumes do the eye, for
Managers Morris and Hall have spared r.o
expense in equipping the piece with all
that money and experience could suggest
"When .Reuben Cornea to Town" will be
the attraction at the Marquam Grand
Theater for one night only, Thursday,
April 17.
The Frawley Company,
Daniel Frawley and the company which
.gave such satisfaction to the theater
goers of tnis city not long ago win re
turn to Portland for an engagement of
five nights. Next Friday night, at the
Marquam Grand, they will present "In
Mlzzoura," which is one of the best
comedies which Augustus Thomas ever
wrote. "Secret Service," which waa the
play produced by Mr. Frawley during his
last engagement, found its strength in
quick, decisive action and Intensely
thrilling situations. Jhere are a great
many dramatic moments in "In Mlzzoura,"
but they are artistically blended with
comedy that Is clever, quaint and original,
and the flay as a whole Is a character
study.
In order that the characters In this
play might be true to life, vMr. Thomas
spent several months in Pike County, Mis
souri,, where the scene of the story is
laid, for he had long had the Idea that
in the lives of those quaint backwoods
people were many simple tragedies which
would be full of Intensely appealing dra
matic strength when transferred to the
stage.
BIG SALMON RUN.
Prospects for Opening; ot Fishlnjj
Season Considered Good.
Many salmon are in the Columbia River
at present. This is shown by the illegal
catches of fish that have been made be
fore the opening of the 'fishing season. A
canncryman who has just returned from
Astoria says he saw nets In place near
Clifton and that their owners made no
bones about violating the law. The nets
were In plain view of the railroad cars.
It Is an open secret that Columbia River
salmon have been sold In the Portland
market for some time. They are not
sold in the open, however, and are com
monly advertised as Sacramento. In some
restaurants a wink and a grin will bring
choice Chinook salmon. "The Fish
Warden would not have to try very hard
to find contraband salmon in Portland."
eald a canneryman yesterday. "Money
will buy Columbia River salmon. If the
.purchaser does not have a loud mouth."
" It is reported that fish are brought to
this city from the Clackamas River. Nets
are used on that stream under cover of
night. The fish are brought close to the
limits of Portland, when they are trans
ferred to wagons that go out from Port
land early In the morning. It is a profit
able business for those engaged in it.
The fishing season, which opens Tues
day, will last until August 15 four
months. "Nobody can tell how large the
run of fish will be," said a canneryman,
yesterday. "If the fish are not abundant,
the Fishermen's Union scale of prices, 6
cents a pound for large fish and 5 cents
for small, will be paid. But If there Is
a large -supply of salmon, of course fisher
men will sell for less. In order to clear
away their surplus. The lower the price
the more Columbia River salmon will be
in demand among consumers. Puget
Sound salmon at 90 cents and $1 per case
offers severe competition to Columbia,
when the later sells at $1 50."
The lower river canneries will be ready
to operate next week, although not with
as full crews of men as when the seasop
is more advanced. The "combine" will
have two canneries in operon this
year, Kinney's and Elmore's.

Hams are up. The advance announced
yesterday was and cents per pound.
Picnics and shoulders are & cent "higher.
Local packers feel good. Prices of Eastern
product have been low for some time, and
they have had to meet them.
Large hams, those over 18 pounds, are
at a premium. For the first time in 15
years, according to James M. Berry, local
manager for Armour & Co., prices of large
hams, to the pound, are higher than for
small sizes. Large hams are scarce, ow
ing to the shortage in supply of large
hogs In the East. The email size of hogs
Is due partly to the fact that scarcity
of corn caused farmers ip the ' Middle
West to sell their large animals. Eastern
values have been going up- for nearly
two weeks, and the local advance yes
terday was to meet the higher level of
Eastern prices. Lard la unchanged. Busi

They predict handsome Republican ma
iorltles In the June election, especially
J for the candidates on the state ticket.
Any possible dissatisfaction caused by dis
appointments In the state convention Is
rapidly disappearing, and Mr. Furnish
and the entire ticket will undoubtedly re
ceive the hearty support of every Re-
i publican. It has been said by Democrats
J that many Republicans will scratch Fur
nish for Chamberlain, but It Is the gen
eral opinion that scratchcrs will be fev;
j- and far between. Friends of Mr. Fur
' nlsh say without hesltat'on that he will
j be elected by a large majority, and they
i seem ready and willing to back their talk
I with coin. A Republican who has voted
! In Oregon for nearly half a centurv said
. yesterday that he woul'i wager $1000 to
$000 that Mr. Furnish will rirry the state
ty n majority of more than FOOO. The
Reoubl"! nress nnd the. voters through-
i out the Ftnte are satisfied with the ticket.
and will, give It their full support.
W. J. Furnish Js spending a few days in
Portland, and will arrange the outlines
of his campaign before returning to
PcndlcCon. He promised the convention,
on the day of h's nomination, to make a
campaign of which no Republican would
feel ashamed, and he evidently Intends
fulfilling his premise. In fact, Mr. Fur
nlsh's campaign will be a thorough one
from beginning to end. one" which 'will
surely win for him success at the polls.
J. N. Williamson, Republican nominee
for Congress, is at the Perkins, where
he will remain for seyeral days. When
seen yesterday Mr. Williamson made the
following statement- to a representative
of The Oregonlan: i
"Mr. Furnish and the entire Republican
state ticket will carry every county east
St tho Cascade Mountains. The people of
Eastern Oregon ar satisfied with the
ticket, and will support It- As to my
own campaign. I can ?ay that It will be a
thorough one, as I expect to visit every
county In the Second Congressional Dis
trict, and will do all In my power for the
success of the ticket,"
State Senator C. W. Fulton, of Astoria,
says that Mr. Furnish will carry Clatsop
County byaa safe majorltv. and he pre
dicts good Republican results throughout
the state.
Assistant Postmaster Walter F. Mat
thews resigned his position March 31, pre
paratory to assuming the duties of state
chairman "of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee. Mr. Matthews has filled
the position of Assistant Postmaster to
the satisfaction of all concerned, ever
since the appointment of Postmaster
Croasman. Postmaster Croasman has se
lected -Charles A. Burckhardt to fill the
position, vacated by Mr. Matthews. He
Is a well-known young man, born and
brought up here, and has served a term as
Deputy County Recorder.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS TONIGHT.
Nominations on the Proposed Fusion
Ticlcct to Be Made.
The delegates to the Democratic county
nnd city convention will meet In caucus
at the Eagles' Hall tonight, nnd will prob
ably select nominees for all county and
city offices. From present indications, the
candidates for some of the offices over
which a conflict has been waged by the
Simon Republicans will be as follows:
For .Mayor W. E. Robertson. Demo
crat; T. T. Struble, a former Republican,
aloo mentioned.
For City Attorney Thomas 0Day, Dem
ocrat. For Municipal Judge A Democrat.
For County Judge H. B. Adams or J.
"V. Beach, Democrats; Oglesby Young and
John Van Zante, Democrats, are also men
tioned. For County Commisslonerto succeed J.
G. Mack Probably a Republican.
For Sheriff Peter Hobkirk, Republican;
Thomas McNamee, Republican, and L. T.
1'eery. Democrat, also mentioned.
For County Clerk-T. P. Kennedy, Re
publican. The "also mentioned" are men whose
interests are being promoted by their
friend?. Th1 others are the ones who will
be most likely to secure the nominations.
But the slate for it practically is one
Is likely to cause a dispute In the caucus.
After Inman, who declared again yester
day that he would not run for the Mayor
alty, and who leftffor Seattle last night,
no man is more acceptable to the Demo
crats than Robertson. But he Is not liked
by the Simon Republican policemen and
firemen, who declare that If he be elected
they will have to look after other posi
tions, Some of them who are most out
spoken against him apparently do not
wish to risk a trial according to the pro
vision of the charter, and have openly
said that they would work and vote
against him.
Judge O'Day's claim to the City Attor
neyship Is considered entirely valid by
Democrats, and no Simon men, other than
S. C. Spencer and "Pike" Davis, have any
complaint to make against It. Davis has.
an enlarged "kick" coming. For all his
work in behalf of the Republican party,
he told a friend yesterday, he has received
only three terms as Deputy City Attorney.
"Wasn't that enough. 'Pike'?" asked the
friend, who had not served a single term.
"Pike" knew It was useless to waste
words on a man who has no sympathy,
and he passed on.
For the Municipal Judgeship, some Dem
ocrats are willing to throw the nomina
tion of T. B. MoDevltt, .Jr., as a sop to
the Simoniles. McDevltt has the sup
port of young Simon Republicans,' who
are urging his claims for the nomination.
He Is making no canvass hlmself,-but
his frlends'say he Is not out of the race.
It Is reported that proposals were made
to McDevltt that he let the Judgeship
alone, and that he be content with a dep.
utyshlp under a.SImon County Treasurer
if the Treasurer be ejected. It Is also re
ported that he spurned the offer.
A majority of the Democrats are op

we will sell you one on payment of $10

These pianos are fully, warranted, and.
while we are willing to take $li6. $173 and

That's how we can sell these pianos at

posed to the giving of the County Com
mlssloncnshlp to the Simon men. Their
line of argument is that If they were to
elect this Commissioner and also the
County Judge. the" would not receive any
more patronage than they do at present.
The Simon men and the hold-over Com
missioner would control everything, and
the County Judge would be nothing more
than u receiver of complaints. With a
majority of the County Court, they say,
they cin control half of the patronage of
the county. The court could limit the
number of deputies and clerks In the of
fices of the Sheriff and the County Clerk,
and If any number above that limit were
needed they could insist upon the
appointment of Democrats before acced
ing to the demand for assistance. This
is the view of the radicals, and they are
many.
Until yesterday Tom McNamee was
looked upon as the candidate for Sherhi
He Is looked upon with favor by some,
but last night it was generally conceded
that Peter Hobkirk had the lead. How
Hobkirk secured the long end of the
string is not known. At a fusion con
ference In the afternoon his name was
not mentioned, nor were the names of any
other candidates, according to a member
of the fusion committee. McNamee's
friends say they will make a fight In the
caucus Just the same, and they hope to
win out.
At the conference referred to, nothing,
so the participants say, was spoken of
except the caucus tonight, and that only
in a general way. Some Interest was lent
to the conference for a time by the re
port that the "citizens' committee" of
flve was present and was acting with the
Fuslonlsts. P. A. .McPherson, who ap
pointed this committee, and who was Iden
tified with the laet Citizens' campaign,
said there was no truth In the report.
The committee, he said, was allied with
neither the Simon nor the straight Re
publicans. It Is simply a non-partisan
movement In the direction of good gov
ernment, and would support the best qual-.
ifird candidates for the various offices.

During the lat year more sufferers
from colds, whether in the head er
lungs, have been cured by Halpruner'
Wonderful Medicine than all the other
medicines combined.
What is the use of wasting words
and suffering with a cold when you can
get relief within two minutes time after
taking Halpruner' s ?
People who kr.cw the value of Hal
pruner' s Wonderful Mcndicine never
have colds any more they keep this
remarkable medicine in. their home,
where they can get s: it quickly as soon
as they feel the first symptoms of cold.
For a cold in the head, they .inhale
the vapor by pouring a few drops of
the medicine in their hands and holding
them beneath the nostrils also-taking
a tcaspoonfol every hour or so. The
inhalations give immediate relief and the
internal dose drives cut the cold and the
cause of it.
If the cold is in the throat or lungs
they rub the medicine in until they
know it has penetrated deeply and is
doing the work it was intended to do.
Internal doses arc also good for a cold"
in the throat and !ur.s, for Halpruner's
seeks the scat of the trouble and removes
the causes quickly and permanently.
All druggists sell Halpruner's Won
derful Medicine 50c and $ 1 a bottle.
