WILL
Republicans Go Forth to Talk to the
People Active Work In
Lane County.

iamson, Republican nominee for Congress,
and Judge John F. Caples, ex-Mlnister to
Chili, will make addresses on that occa
sion. No other dates of Senator William
son's Itinerary have yet been determined.
Beginning with Monday, May 3, he will
conduct a campaign which -will cover
every part of his district, probably clos
ing" in one of the larger towns In the dis
trict on the Saturday evening "before elec
tion. Judge Caples will not accompany
the Republican nominee for Congress
through the whole of his canvass, but it
Is not yet determined who will accompany
him. If any one. Senator "Williamson and
Assistant Secretary Harrison Allen were
dn conference last evening, arranging
dates for addresses. As soon as the dates
have been fixed so that it is certain that
there will be ilo conflicts or necessity for
changes, they will be announced.
The Republican state -candidates left for
Ashland last evening, where they will
open the state campaign Thursday even
ing. Those who went were "W. J. Fur
nish, nominee for Governor; J. H. Acker
man, nominee for Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction: and J. R. "Whitney, nomi
nee for State Printer. They will be joined
at Roseburg by A. M. Crawford, nominee
lor Attorney-General, C "W. Fulton, who
will be the principal speaker, was also
.jwith the candidates.
Assistant Secretary Harrison Allen has
determined two more dates for the state
Itinerary, which, so far as announced,

ing. May 5.
J. X. liee, superintendent of the Oregon
penltentlary, will address the people of
Newport, Lincoln County, on behalf of the
Republican ticket, on Monday evening.
May 5. Mr. Xe is an able stump speaker,
and "will make a very clear presentation
of the issues from the Republican stand
point. Prior to the state convention he
was a strong supporter of Governor Geer,
and Is still a warm and true friend of the
defeated candidate. His action, in thus
going out "upon the stump to -work for the
Republican nominee, shows ' that he as
-well as other Marion County Republicans
place tho party above the wishes of Indi
viduals. I.AXE COUNTY REPUBLICANS.
rvictory "Will Be Made Sure ly Lively
Campaign.
Ii. T. Harris, Republican candidate for
the lower branch of the Legislature from
Xane County, and a member of the state,
central committee, -was In the city yester
day, arranging certain details of the state
campaign in Lane. Mr. Harris, together
with Judge E. O. Potter, who is county
chairman, were in conference with State
Chairman "Walter F. Matthews and As
sistant Secretary Harrison Allen yester
day afternoon, and plans have been made
whereby a number of the best Republican
orators of the state will speak at Eugene
and the neighboring towns. The joint
counts' campaign. In -which both Republi
can and Democratic candidates discourse
their views, will commence on May 8, and
will be thorough. In every particular,
Every village and hamlet, from the Pa
cific Ocean to the Three Sisters, will be
visited and the National and local issues
will be discussed pro and con. Mr. Har
ris is a very logical and fluent speaker,
and one of the best campaigners in the
state. Two years ago, he was elected
State Representative, defeating E. R.
Bkipworth, who headed the Democratic
Legislative ticket, by a majority of 531
votes, and running some 300 votes ahead
of his own ticket.
"When seen yesterday, Mr. Harris made
the following statement concerning the
Republican outlook In Lane County:
"The Democrats are using every means
within their power to defeat Dr. Kuykcn
dall, the Republican candidate for State
Senator. Dr. Kuykendall has served one
term in this position, and I am conii
dent that he will be re-elected by a sare
majority. There is every reason to be
lieve that the state ticket, from top to
bottom, will receive the full and undivided
strength of the Republican party in Lane
County.
"From what I can hear, I Judge that Mr.
Chamberlain has made two serious mis
takes In the beginning of his campaign.
In tho first place, he has gone back on his
party platform. He does not stand
squarely upon the plank which the Demo
cratic state tiventlon took most pains
In preparing, so "Vhat it would correctly
state their views. The Democrats took
Inalf a day to consider a plank which de
clares In favor of granting the Philip
pines their Independence. According to
the reports in newspapers which are'sup
porting Chamberlain, he had this to say
on that subject at tho Baker City meet
ing: " 'The Philippine archipelago and Porto
Jlico have been finally added to our ter
ritory by treaty. That thsy belong to
the United States there can be no ques
tion, and now that their annexation has
become an accomplished fact, we insuS
that thft constitution of thp "ITn!rrt RtntM
ought to follow the flag, and that .they
should be treated in exactly the same way
and manner as Inland territory of the
United States is treated. There should be
absolute freedom of trade between this
country and our Insular possessions. It Is
our duty to educate the Filipino up to
our standard of civilization, and In due
course flt him to participate In his own
government and affairs.'
"The platform declares for Independence
and Mr. Chamberlain says the Islands
should be treated In exactly the same
way and manner as inland territory o
the United States."
Many other prominent men have com
mented adversely, as has Mr. Harris,
upon Chamberlain's campaign methods,
and while neither the Republican cam
paign managers nor the Republican speak
ers will enter upon 'any discussion of
Chamberlain's personal character and
habits, yet many Republicans will retal
iate by hereafter using the facts as legiti
mate campaign material.
HOPEFUL DIAGNOSIS.
Dr.
Cusiclc Pronounces Republican
Ticket Out of Sanger.
Dr. "W. A. Cusick, an old-time Republi
can in Marlon County, spent yesterday in
Portland. He has helped to fight the bat
tles of his party through many a cam
paign, and has rendered efficient service,
both by quiet work and on the stump. He
was a member of the Legislature of 1S95.
When asked yesterday regarding the po
litical situation in Marlon County, Dr.
Cusick said:
"I returned only a short time ago from
a three-months visit in California, and
have not yet observed enough of the po
litical symptoms to be able to make a
very correct diagnosis of the condition of
the two political parties. Thus far, the
temperature of both seems to be about
normal. The pulse of each seems to be
regular and strong. There are a few
marks that indicate that there may have
Tjeen some sore spots on the Republican
party lecently, but the wounds have
healed well, and if not irritated there will
be no lasting scars. The Democracy seems
to have particularly strong lungs, and In
the race about to begin, may show up
well In the initial spurt. The G. O. P..
however, seems to have a very decided
advantage in the matter of strength, and
Is likely for that reason to be a good dis-
tance ahead at the end of the home
stretch. To all outward appearances,
both parties are In good spirits, and -will
enter the race with confidence. I appre
hend that the Democracy will suffer in
no small degree from Its intemperance in
financial principles during the last few
years, and that some present systemic
weakness may develop with serious re
sults. Until I have had time to make a
closer examination and observe other
symptoms, I could not undertake to make
a more complete diagnosis."
Itegnlnr Republican Ticket Filed.
The- regular Republican county ticket
-was filed yesterday in the County Clerk's
office by Herbert C. Smith, secretary of
the State Republican Central Committee,
and chairman of the managing commit
tee, of the Republican City and County
Central Committee. The state ticket is
filed with the Secretary of State, and the
city ticket with the City Auditor. The
fusion county ticket was filed several
days ago.
ATTACKS SUPREME COURT
Suit to Set Aside Decision of That
Tribunal.
A suit of a most novel character, in
which the State Circuit Court Is asked
to set aside the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of the Larch Mountain
Investment Company vs. T. A. Garbade,
Bridal "Veil Lumbering Company, Sheriff
Frazler et al:, was filed yesterday by
Attorney ,C. C. Palmer.
The Supreme Court decided in favor of
the Larch Mountain Investment Company
and the title of the case just commenced
is T. A. Garbade et al. against Larch
Mountain Investment Company, Bridal
Veil Lumbering Company and "William
Frazler, Sheriff. The amount Involved Is
51270. It is brought under a statute which
provides:
"But a decree in equity may be im
peached and set aside, suspended, avoided
or carried into execution by an original
suit."
Suits In the lower court to overrule de
cisions of tho Supreme Court may have
been prosecuted in the past, but if so very
rarely, as such cases are not recollected
in Courthouse circles.
The dispute between the Larch Moun
tain Investment Company and Garbade in
the former suit was over a sum of J2270
paid by the company to Sheriff Frazier
In Januaryt 1900. for Garbade to redeem
1120 acres of land near Bridal Veil, from
a bale on execution. After paying the
money the Larch Mountain Company ne
gotiated a sale of the property for 125,000
to the Bridal "Veil Lumbering Company,
and as part of this agreement the lum
bering company undertook to persuade
Garbade to take the money In Sheriff
Frazier's hands on account of certain
claims he held against both companies.
Garbade refused to do so, and the nego
tiations between the two companies were
modified and the Larch Mountain Invest
ment Company deeded the lands to the
Bridal Veil Lumbering Company, and the
latter paid Garbade his claims against
both companies in full. Garbade then
requested Sheriff Frazler to pay him the
$2270, but the Sheriff declined to do so, be
cause the Larch Mountain Company had
notified him that the money should be
repaid to that concern. The Sheriff then
refused to turn the money over to either
claimant, and the Larch Mountain Com
pany brought suit to have determined to
whom the money should be paid, and
Judge Cleland decided in favor of Gar
bade. The Supreme Court, on appeal, re
versed the decision and judgment rendered
by Judge Cleland, and decided in favor of
the Larch Mountain Investment Company.
Garbade, In the present proceeding,
seeks to have the decision of the higher
court overruled, and asks for a decree
that the mandate of the Supreme Court
entered in the State Circuit Court April
25, 1302, be impeached, set aside, suspended'
and held for naught.
It Is alleged that the Supreme Court
In Its decision erred In many particulars,
and that the decree in the case is not
warranted by the facts. Among other
things It Is averred that upon the face of
the mandate and of the decree of the Su
preme Court entered In accordance there
with. It Is apparent that the Supreme
Court and the Circuit Court had no power
or authority or jurisdiction to give or
make the judgment, and had no jurisdic
tion to adjudge or decree in said cause
that the Larch Mountain Investment Com
pany was entitled to a decree declaring
it to be the owner of the sum pf $2270, de
posited on March 3, 1900, with the Sheriff.
It Is alleged that the findings made in
and by the mandate and decree of the
Supreme Court will support no other or
different decree than a. decree that the
suit should be dismissed, for and because
it appears from the findings that the
Larch Mountain Investment Company Is
not entitled to the relief claimed in its
complaint in the suit, that the complaint
docs not state facts sufficient to consi
tute a cause of suit, and a court of equity
cad no jurisdiction over the cause or
matters adjudged. In and by the mandate
and decree of the Supreme Court.

INDORSE A FAIR SITE
EAST SIDE ORGANIZATIONS FAVOR
HAWTHORNE PARK.
Mount Tftbor Citizens, Clinton Kelly
and Stephens Board of Trade, All
Pass Resolutions.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
citizens of Mount Taboi and vicinity met
last evening to discuss the several sites
proposed for the Lewis and Clark Fair.
D. A. Grout was chairman, and F. S.
Fields secretary. After a full discussion
of the merits and demerits of the several
sites offered, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas. It Is desirable that a full and free
expression of public opinion be given as to the
best location for the 1005 fair; and.
"Whereas, it Is absolutely necessary that the
fair should be a success, both financially and
historically, and to secure this It will be neces
sary to have It held at a point of easy and
quick access fr.om all points of the city and be
located on ground fitted by nature, so that no
great amount of the money raised by public
subscription wilt be wanted to improve track
less wastes or inaccessible hills; and,
Whrreas, It is of vital Importance that the
fair should be an unqualified success, so that
In years to come the people of Oregon can look
back and point with pride to the fair and Its
grand attainments, and also give credit to the
management for the many blessings that we
expect will be derived from the same, and,
Vhereas, In order to obtain these ends, it
will be necessary that the fair bo located at
a point central, of easy and convenient access,
to Insure the greatest number of dallr attend
ance, the easiest and quickest dispatch In
handling the same, and the safest and greatest
amount of transportation facilities; therefore,
be It
Resolved, That we the citizens of Mount Ta
bor and vicinity are unanimously of the opin
ion that there has been no site (so far men
tioned or offered) that will assure the success
of the fair half so well as the Ladd' tract and
Hawthorne- Park: where the railroad and street
car facilities are of the best: where the sewer
age and drainage are perfect; where there arc
now two lakes or lagoons with living springs
and Bull Run water In abundance, and that
by so locating tho fair, the greatest good to
the greatest number will follow.
STEPHENS BOARD'S STATEMENT.
Indorsed Ladd Tract, but Cnlls on
People to Be Loynl to Fair.
At a meeting of the James B. Stephens
Board of Trade, held last evening In the
Stephens Addition Hope House, on East
Seventh street, the following statement
was adopted as its expression on the se
lection of the site of the 1905 Exposition:
In the selection of a site for the great Lewis
and Clark Exposition of 1005, It is the Judgment
of the James B. Stephens Board of Trade the
financial and historical success of this Import
ant event should govern. The experience of
other cities should be consulted, and their fail
ures and successes should not be lost sight of.
Nor should any selfish motive govern the dis
position of this highly Important question.
What, then, are the essentials? All are agreed
that the site of the fair should be central, and
not far removed from tho business portion of
Portland. In order to attract the great manu
facturing concerns of the country, every pos
sible facility should be afforded them In reach
ing the ground with the least possible expense.
When It shall have gone forth that the site
of this great Oriental Fair has been selected
it will not be long before the Industrial estab
lishments throughout the country will be send
ing their agents to Portland to examine condi
tions. If it be found that some almost Inac
cessible point has been selected, which will
double many times the cost of placing an ex
hibit, we need not expect any great display
from abroad. Railroads must have easy and
cheap access to the grounds, for there must be
ample means for transportation. While t is
not the Intention of this local Board of Trade
to cry down the claims and advantges of the
various locations that have been offered as a
site. It here expresses the opinion, after weigh
ing all the surrounding conditions, that the
Hawthorne and Ladd tracts, on Hawthorne
avenue, provide the very best location, for the
reasons that have been mentioned.
The sanitary condition are here well nigh
perfect, or can be made so at small expense.
The Sunnyslde main conduit cuts directly
thrugh this proposed site. It goes without
argument that perfect sewerage must be had,
and unless the conditions are favorable for Its
Introduction, the cost Is certain to be enormous.
Water Is here. On the south side xf the Ladd
tract Is the main conduit of the Bull Run sys
tem. A fountain can be placed In the center
of the exposition grounds that will send a clear
mountain water 200 and 300 feet high by gravi
tation pressure alone, and would be one of the
main attractions of the ground. Also the Haw
thorne Springs have an everlasting flow of
spring water at the rate of 3,000,000 gallons
per 24 hours. Lagoons of clear spring water
may be formed In the ravine that traverses
the park. No exposition grounds in the United
States have ever afforded better water facili
ties than the Hawthorne and Ladd tracts do.
Another point is that the tract can be reach' d
by a 15-mlnute walk. If need be, from the
Portland Hotel, The Oregonlan building, the
City Hall and the Courthouse. The attendance
will be many times greater If a nearby site
can be secured than If a distant or Inaccessible
one be selected. Attendance will be small If
It costs money at every turn; if every stick of
timber, barrel of cement or ton of exhibit must
be lifted by an elevator jor carried by a cir
cuitous route to the grounds. These are the
matters to be considered. These are the things
In which the subscribers to the funds are In
terested. It Is the cense of the James B. Ste
phens Board of Trade that the Hawthorne
Park and the Ladd tract embrace all these ad
vantages over all other sites that have been
suggested.
Furthermore, it is the Judgment of this Board
of Trade that one or more blocks should be
purchased outright for the erection of a great
permanent stone building as a home for the
Oregon Historical Society and for the fostering
of art and tbe home of a branch of the Port
land. Library. This Board of Trade also In
dorses the offer of the East Side Improvement
Asoclatlon in offering a block of land for this
THE RED
$280
purpose. However, it Is the further Judgment
of this Board of Trade that when the board
of directors shall have selected a site for the
fair of 1005, then it shpuld be the duty of every
citizen of Portland loyally to support that se
lection, and to labor to make the proposed ex
position a success, financially and historically,
no matter where the site may be chosen, and
this Board of Trade hereby expresses Its entire
confidence In the ablUty of the fair board of
directors and Its intention to -do the very best
for Portland in making the selection.
LADD TRACT INDORSED.
Resolutions Passed by the Clinton
Kelly Board of Trade.
The Clinton Kelly Board of Trade, "W.
"W. Bretherton, president yesterday met
and passed the following resolutions in
dorsing the Ladd tract and Hawthorne
Park as a fair site:
"Whereas, Ladd" a field and Hawthorne .Park
will be offered on favorable terms as a site
tor the location of the Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial and Oriental Fair,
Whereas, We believe this site offers more
advantages than any other location that has
been contemplated both In less cost of pre
paring the grounds and for larger gate receipts,
which will Insure the financial success of the
fair;
Whereas, We believe these grounds to have
many features of advantage in sewerage, trans
portation, water and adaptation of soil to land
scape gardening not possessed by any other
location; therefore, be It
Resolved by this Board of Trade. That we
heartily Indorse the tender of these grounds
for fair purposes, and do hereby ask the board
of directors of the Lewis and Clark Centennial
and Oriental Fair "to give them favorable con
sideration. "Will Discuss Fair Site.
There "will be a meeting of the Brooklyn
! Board of Trade this evening In the hall
at CSS Milwaukee street, near Carl, to dis
cuss the question of a site for the 1903
fair. A full attendance of the people of
the neighborhood Is desired. Opportunity
for full expression of opinion will be given
at that time.
THE PORTLAND CHARTER
No Adequate Protection of the City
In the Matter of Franchises.
PORTLAND, AprlTlo. (To the Editor.)
The proposed new charter has been pub
lished and distributed for some time, so
that the people may study It and see
whether the people want to adopt it with
out amendment. I think the new charter
should not he adopted without amend
ment. For instance, the new charter at
tempts to provide safeguards over the,
granting of franchises, and to insure com
pensation to the city for valuable fran
chises. In fact, the proposed new charter,
franchise rights without compensation.
In fact, the proposed charter, if
if adopted, would 'give away valuable
franchise rights without compensation
than the former cities of Albina, East
Portland and Portland gave away.
Do the people want to give away these
valuable franchise rights, In a charter
that purports to prevent the giving away
of franchises?
I spent considerable time In the Fall of
1900 examining the franchises granted by
the former cities of Albina. East Port
land and Portland, and considering wheth
er the franchises were legal or not. 1
found that a large number of said fran
chises were granted without limit as to
time, and that the companies claimed that
said franchises were perpetual. I found
that it was very doubtful whether said
former cities of Albina, East Portland
and Portland could legally grant such
franchises, and I communicated with
Mayor H. S. Rowe upon the subject, and
the result was, that at my suggestion,
Mayor Rowe Inserted the following In his
message to the Common Council, In 1901,
and the same will be found printed at
page 19 thereof In the printed report:
I find that the former municipal corporations
of Albina, East Portland and Portland gave a
number of franchises for light, water and rail
road purposes In which the rights which the
public should have were overlooked, and only
the Interests of the companies and corporations
receiving those franchises were considered.
Many of those franchises were granted In very
Indefinite terms. The duty which the former
municipal corporations owed to the public
seems to have been forgotten. However, the
validity of said franchises granted In such
manner, and what are the mutual rights cre
ated by those ordinances, and the steps taken
under them, ore all Involved In doubt. I be
lieve It to be an Important duty of the present
administration carefully to examine Into these
franchises and adjust the same upon some ba
sis that will protect the rights of the public
and at the same time be fair to the corpora
tions interested. These franchises are already
of great value, and will become more so each
year. I believe thjat If careful attention were
given to this subject. It would be possible to
recall tho franchises granted by the former
cities, and in lieu thereof to grant other fran
chises In which the rights of the public would
be protected by a suitable provision regulating
the operations of the companies, providing for
the proper maintenance of the streets by tbe
companies, the payment of a reasonable sum
for the privileges conferred, the forfeiture of
franchises for failure of the companies to per
form their obligations to the public, and pro
viding further for a definite time, not too far
distant, when the franchises shall end. I,
therefore, recommend that your honorable body
give this subject consideration.
No steps have been taken to protect
the city's interests In these franchises.
Steps have been taken to protect the
corporation In the new charter. Section
105 of the new charter expressly provides
that any franchise, right or privilege in
actual use or enjoyment heretofore given
or granted by any former or the present
City of Portland, or by the City of East
Portland, or by the City of Albina, shall
be and continue In force and effect as
given or granted by said cities or either of
them.

those franchises will be unquestionably
valid for all time, and very much more
valuable than they now are.
Why should this great, indefinite gift be
made to the corporations in the new char
ter? That sucha. provision Is -valid is not
open to question. What good does it do
to provide safeguards about future fran
chises after the Legislature has given
away forever the valuable franchises?

BUY OPTIONS.
We will sell options on Uriiversity
Park lots until Saturday evening
next, good for thirty days. At the
end ot thirty days you can renew
your option for thirty days longer on
the payment of a small sum. This
will give all an opportunity to make
a fortune out of the Lewis and Clark
Centennial. How do we know that
the Lewis and Clark Centennial will
be located at University Park? Ask
the first 100 citizens you meet on
the street and 90 will say, "to make
it a success it should be held at Uni
versity Park." The other 10 will
tell you that certain directors have a
pecuniary interest in locating it at
some other place. The big property
owners on the board of directors
will not consult their selfish inter
ests, but will look only to the success
of the Exposition; therefore you can
rely on it being held at University
Park. Call tomorrow and buy an
option on a few lots at University
Park before the advance that will
take place on the first of the month.
