1HBM0BKING OREGONXAK, THUESDAY, JULY- 2i, 1902. ADVENTISTS WILL BUILD SAXITOHIUM AND HEALTH FOOD FACTORY TO BE ERECTED. Two Acres In Mount Tabor Have Been Bousht an Site for Im provements to Cost $35,000. The Seventh-Day Adventlsts have pur chased a. fraction over two acres of land on West avenue, Mount Tabor, a short distance south of the City & Suburban Hallway, on which they will erect a sanl torlum and health food manufacturing plant on the lines of the Battle Creek, Mich., establishments. It is estimated that the buildings that will be required and built at once will cost between $30, 000 and 535,000. Ever since the close .of the general con ference, held in Portland several months ago. the matter of selecting a site has been under consideration. It is under stood that a number of sites .have been considered on both sides of the river, but the selection of the Mount Tabor location was decided on recently. For a sanitorium the place would seem to be ideal. It is high and quiet and healthful. It has been found that the quarters oc cupied by the North Pacific Sanitorium, conducted by the Seventh-Day Adventlsts. are far too small, and that the needs of that Institution have outstripped the fa cilities afforded by the "building and single block occupied on the West Side. The Sanitorium has been successful beyond the expectations of the most sanguine promoters and supporters. The Portland Seventh-Day Adventlsts have the advantage of the experience of the great Battle Creek institution, which started on even a much smaller ba6ls than did the Portland enterprl-e. Insti tutions of the sort have been established In many of the larger cities, and all have been successful. The Portland Adventlsts some time ago purchased expensive ma chinery for the manufacture of the va rious health foods, which can be run in connection with the Mount Tabor plant. The block and building occupied "by the Portland establishment belongs to an estate, and the managers have felt that they wanted a permanent home. URFER VOUXD GUILTY. IIe Is Fined ?10 for Beating Harry Vail, of Mount Tabor. Edward Urfer was found guilty of as sault on Harry Vail, the 17-year-old son of A. Vail, Postmaster at Palestine, at South Mount Tabor, yesterday afternoon in the East Side Justice Court. Urfer was not represented "by counsel. Deputy District Attorney Spencer represented the state. Harry Vail made the following state ment on the witness-stand: I was "wheeling oa the cycle path on the cross road between the Powell's Valley road and Section Line road, south of No. 2 Mount Tabor reservoir. Wheri near C. Mllem's house Urfer came up behind m and called out to stop, and I did so. He then asked me my name, and said his name was Urfer. He then knocked me down and began beating me In the face. I called out for help, and Mr. Milem came out. Urfer then left me. My pockets had been turned Inside out, and the ar ticles In them dropped cm the ground. I never had any trouble with Urfer. Tne first blow knocked' me dowiL I was struck several times In the face on the ground. I am 17 years old." C. Milem testified that he heard some one cry out for help, and with his son ran out in the road. Urfer was then get ting away. Young Vaile's pockets had been turned wrong side out, and he af terwards picked up some articles from the ground. Milem eald Urfer swoTe re peatedly and threatened his son. There were two other young fellows with Ur fer, who urged him to leave. Urfer took the stand In his own ibehalf. He said that he had heard that Vail wanted to see his (Urfer's) brother, and, seeing Vail wheeling on the path, called out to Tilm to stop, which he did. Urfer said that Vail became saucy. He slapped the boj who fell over the bicycle. Urfer denied that he rifled Vaile's pockets or that he struck him while on the ground. He gave his age as 21. District Attorney Spencer In a brlet review of the case said that it had been shown that a most outrageous assault "had been committed by Urfer, 21 years old, on this boy Vail, only 17 years old. Mr. Spencer said the evidence indicated that a far more serious crime than as sault had been committed on Vail, that of highway robbery- He closed by ask ing the court to impose the highest pen alty of the law. Justice Seton commented on the fact that the defendant had not appeared with counsel, as it threw the double burden of dealing out Justice and seeing that he had a fair trial upon him. He said the defendant might consider him self fortunate that a more serious crime had not been charged against him, as he might have had to answer In a higher court. After severely admonishing the defendant that he might not escape so easily hereafter, he fined him ?10. ALLIANCE CONVENTION CLOSED. jFrnnlr B. Culver Re-Elected Presi dentTwo Districts Established.

An Austrian, who says he has had a great deal of experience in the frog in dustry in his own country, but who de clines to permit the use of his name, is in the city and is in search of a site tor a frog pond. He ays he Intends to grow frogs for the market, and he thinks he will realize a handsome Income from the trade,' which he expects to work up when he Is able to show the people that the legs of the lnhabl tants of the ponds are greater delicacies than the better grade of oysters or tne finest Spring chicken. Of course, he knows that the majority of the American people are prejudiced more or less against the legs of frogs as food, but he says such prejudice may easily be re moved. The people simply had to be edu cated as to the value of -frogs as edibles, and a single trial was a complete educa tional course. He had no cause to worry about his probable patronage; what both ered him was the selection of a site, in the establishment of a froggery tne site was the principal Item, and where run ning water could not be secured the ven ture Invariably proved a failure. When told" that in Portland a quiet pond of filthy water was considered the best place for the domestication t)f frogs, he said that such spots were? conducive to the rapid increase of theMamily. and In vited a charge of dynamite for the silenc ing of the croakers. In Austria people would never think of eating frogs that were bred in such ponds. The frogs were grown In running streams, and there was a sort of system of hatcheries by which the old were kept separate from the young. The reason for this was that the old ate up their young, and as soon as hatching took place the latter were re moved from parental authority. The principal enemies of the frog were the 6nak.e and the owl, and measures for their protection had to be taken. In this country the frog was not properly under stood, and the failure of many a venture could be attributed to the lack of protec tion from the -reptile and the night bird. As a means of fattening the frogs, sucn weeds as would attract water flies and other Insects to the streams had to be provided, or the producer would have to pay for other food, and thus lose a part of his profit. In Austria frogs could be produced so cheaply that a person could get a full meal of well-cooked legs at prices ranging from 13 to 17 cents. Asked at what time of year the frogs were in the best condition for the table, he said in the early Spring. They emerg ed from the cold Winter In fat and ten der shape, and they were then In the greatest demand. In Austria the people do not eat the legs all the year round, as they do in California and other sections of this country, but only when they were tender. The legs were of the size of a man's thumb, and he thinks that when he places some upon the Portland 'market there will be a ready demand for them. HOW HOBSON SAVED HER Miss Cerf Denies Alleged Rescue Only In Water Up to Waist. ST. LOUIS. July 23. Miss Mamie Cerf has come out with a signed statement to the effect that Captain Richmond Pear son Hobson shoved her into 'the Missis sippi River from the launch Camllda while the boat was lying close to the thore off Plasa, Chautauqua, 111. Recently a story was wired from Plasa to the effect that Miss Cerf had Jumped into the MlsFissippi in street costume that she might have the honor of being rescued by Hobson. who was disporting In the water near by, garbed In a bathing suit. Publication of the report locally caused a sensation in the Cerf family, and a brother of the young woman took the first train for Plasa to look into the matter. Mrs. Cerf. mother of Miss Mamie, has received a letter from her daughter as follows: "A crowd of young girls went out. in Mrs. Bringhurst's launch, part of them wearing bathing suits. I hadn't the slight est intention of going in the water. I was sitting on the edge of the boat, dangling my stocking feet in the water, when Cap tain Hobson came along and dared me to slip In. The boat was tied to the bank and half a dozen girls were wading around in the water, which was only about two feet deep. We all started to laugh about the dare, when Captain Hobson gave me a snovc and in I went up to my waist, "Of course, as I was in that far, I Just waded around with tne rest. At no time was I in water higher than my waist After awhile we waded ashore. The story about my filling or Jumping into the river that Captain Hobson might have the op portunity of rescuing me is absurd." CHICKEN LICE. Instant death to chicken lice.

Jones, a well-dressed, respect-ablc-looklng man of about 33 years old, successively arrested charged with com plicity In the larceny of 5550 In gold, va grancy and having opium In his posses sion, Is probably one of the luckiest pris oners that the police have handled" for many months. The first two charges have already been dropped, and the indi cations now are that Jones can produce evidence showing that a physician pre scribed opium to treat a disease from which he Is suffering. Under the law re lating to the use of opium, if Jones can prove his contention, he will be dis charged. Early on the morning of July 16 a man and two women visited a restauTant and fruit store kept by Nick Vlscovlch, on Third street, near Davis. As already re lated in The Oregonlan, the party ordered Ice cream, and then the man In the crowd said: "Gimme an oyster cocktail, and be quick about 1L" Vlscovlch flew to exe cute the order, giving his whole attention to it. After eating and paying for the food the trio left In a hurry. Two hours afterward Vlscovlch had occasion to visit his back room, when he was 6tartlcd to And a trunk which contained 5550 In gold missing and the window open. He leaped Into the yard, and there found his trunk broken open and his hard-earned savings gone every dollar of them. He at once communicated with the police, but by this time the trio who had eaten lunch at the place, and who no doubt had mo nopolized his attention while their con federate stole the money from the trunk, could not be found. The victim's descrip tion of his three strange customers was not verj- lucid, but after working on the case the detectives arrested Fred L. Jones because It was known that he had been around with William Noble and Clarice Fay. who are stated to be two of the people who were In the supper party. On being searched Jones had 5135 and a cheap watch In hlo possession, and he refused to explain why he had so much money with him. He was confronted with the facts of the robbery at VIsco vlch's place-, but denied that he had been a party to it. The police told him that he had been seen In the company - ot Noble and Clarice Fay. and 'he then of fered to act the part of the gay bird known as stool-pigeon, protesting that he was sure to find his friend Noble If given a chance to do so. His offer was prompt ly acepted, and leaving his watch and 5135 behind Ijlm at the police station he ostensibly went on the warpath after the mysterious Noble, but really went to con sult Lawyer W. T. Hume. It is stated that the latter grew luke-warm when he learned that all his client's valuables were deposited In the big safe in the po lice station. Not being in the business for his health, the lawyer drew up a power of attorney, which Jones signed, turning over the aforesaid 5125. In the meantime the police were worry ing over the non-return of Jones, who was supposed to be Industriously search ing after his friend Noble. Great was the wrath of the police when it was discov ered that Jones had not bothered his head about Noble, but had executed a power of attorney transferring his ' 5135 over to the custody of Lawyer Hume. What was to be done with Jones? On again considering the matter, the police decided that there was not enough evi dence to bind him over for the larceny of the 5550 from Vlscovlch, but deter mined to place him In jail again, charged with being a vagrant. This was done, and great was the lawyer's wrath at the discovery The detectives went around Whitechapel looking up Jones' record, but could not discover much about him" except to show that he had worked and was not a vagrant. But fome lynx-eyed detective, In searching Jones at the time of his arrest, remembered that among the prisoner's ef fects was an opium pill. This greatly cleared the situation, and the charge of vagrancy was dropped and a charge or unlawfully having opium in his posses sion was filed against Jones. Lawyer Hume stalked into the Municipal Police Court Tuesday afternoon with Indignant strides, and he asked waht on earth were the detectives and District Attorney Chamberlain's assistants paid for, that they could not be present when the case was called and Inform him on what grounds his friend Jones had been, again cast into prison. His manly voice trem bled when he learned that the 5133 was still In possession of the police, and he spoke about the power of attorney Jones had signed in Tils favor. Why could not Jones be released on ball for his -appearance when wanted? Municipal Judge Hogue listened attentively to the law yer's complaint, and in soothing tones ex pressed his regret that the detectives and prosecuting officers were not present and released Jones on the latter depositing 550 ball for a hearing yesterday. When the pill said to be an opium pill and found in Jones possession at the time of his first arrest was shown to Dr. Hamilton Meade, the lattest testified that the pill contained what Is known as gum opium. "Such an article Is temporarily used to allay pain, but the treatment is not continued, as It might lead to a habit being formed," concluded Dr. Meade. "I was present at the time Jones was searched, and I first saw the opium in Detective Snow's possession," testified Detective Kerrigan. "I suppose the opium, came " "Wlli you swear from your own knowl edge the opium was found inJones' pos session?" asked the attorney. "I didn't 6eo it. The pill was given to Ca'ptain Moore to keep. I did not see the opium before It was unrolled. Snow had It." "The wrong man has been .arrested. Snow ought to be here." -remarked the lawyer. Detective Welncr stated that the first time he saw the opium It was In Snow's hands. "As Detective Snow Is out of town, 1 suggest that the case be postponed," 6ald Deputy District Attorney Gatcns. The lawyer then produced a prescription which he said was written by a well known physician In this city, prescribing opium for Jones. The case was then continued to get the evidence of this phy sician. If the latter testifies as Jones says he will, the defendant, under the existing law regulating the use and sale of drugs, will be discharged from cus tody. Meanwhile Mr. Hume got the 5125, less the 550 ball deposited for Jones' appear ance In court. William Noble and Clarice Fay, who were arrested In San Francisco on the receipt of telegraphic Instructions from Chief of Police McLauchlan, have been discharged from custody. In accord ance with Instructions from the office of District Attorney Chamberlain. Deputy District Attorney" Spencer stated last night that" Noble and Clarice Fay would not be brought for trial from San Fran cisco, as there was no evidence to show that they had stolen money from Nick Vlscovlch. People are wondering how much of the 5135 Jones will have when he gets through with his legal troubles. The Case of Mrs. Waggoner. PORTLAND, Or.. July. 23. (To the Edi tor.) Several articles have recently ap peared In the columns of your paper ex pressing the opinion that Mrs. Waggoner Is. entitled to the reward offered for the "capture and return", of the body of Con vict Merrill, and charging Mr. Lee with quibbling over the matter. The language used in the reward notice Is so simple in Its expression and the ob ject of the reward so self-evident that It seems very much like "Quibbling" to claim that there can be any misconstruc tion as to the actual meaning of the words employed, or of the true Intent of offering the reward. The word "capture" Is the essense of the matter, and "return" Is a secondary consideration. In the present Instance of small Importance to either the state Or society at large, as the finder did not take any part in the capture, which was the first and a necessary step to the re turn, and the bearing of this point on the matter is very ably set forth In the letter published today by Mr. Lee. I anil .. -- T . -n. w i n-Jf - ut, iui. .m:o uiiiuui. ue jusuy ac cused of an Injustice to the claimant, as he has done but his simple duty and left the question of sentiment to his superior, and. It seems, the public at large; but If he had assumed the sentimental role and paid the reward on demand, there would have been ground for the unfavorable criticism he Is" now receiving. If the reward had been offered for the capture "or" return. Mrs. Waggoner would have Ijeen entitled to the full amount, not one-half, as claimed by some, but it would not have been neces sary for an attorney to accompany her to the public purse on a quest of this kind, and the fact that this step was ta ken appears to be sufficient evidence on the part of the claimant that her case was not strong enough to stand on Its merits. This article is not written to prejudice the prospects of any one, but to show mat justice nas Deen done to all except Mr. Lee. If there Is to be any reward paid, beyond the . actual expenses In curred and a reasonable per diem, let It be under the heading of "sentiment," where It properly belongs. FAIR PLAT. OUR NEW MARKETS. A'oncontlKuous Terrltorr Takes ?30, 000,000 of Our Products. WASHINGTON, July 23. The noncon tiguous territory of the United States now furnishes a market for 550.000,000 worth of the products of her people. A statement Just prepared by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics shows that the ship ments from the United, States to Its non contiguous territory during the fiscal year Just ended hare been, In round terms, as follows: To the Hawaiian Islands 520.000.000 To Alaska 15,000,000 To Porto Rico 10.0cO.C00 To the Philippines 5.000.000 Total 550,000.000 This Is practically five times as much as the exports to those territories in 1S37. when none of them, except Alaska, was under the American flag. The exports to Porto Rico In the fiscal, year 1697, for ex ample, were 51.98S.SSS. and In the fiscal year 1902 they were over 510.000,000. 'the exact figures for 11 months being more thart 59.500,000; and while the figures for the 12th month have not been received, if Is certain that the total will exceed 510.000,000. To Hawaii our exports in the fiscal year 1S97 were 54.e90.075. and for the fiscal year 1902 the best estimate of tho customs authorities Is In round terms, 520,000.000. Exact figures of the shipments to Hawaii are not at present available, but it Is known that the ship ments from Hawaii to the United States during the year will amount to about 523. 000,000, and It is believed that the esti mate of 520,000.000 for our ship ments to the Hawaiian Islands Is a conservative one. To the Philip pine Islands our exports in the fiscal year 1902 will be over 55,000,000. exclusive of shipments made by the Government for use of Its troops or other officers In the Islands. To Alaska, the best estimate ob tainable of the shipments In 1S97 Is 53.921, 000, while those for the fiscal year Just ended, are estimated by the customs au thorities at 515.000.000. This would make the grand total of shipments from the United States to Its noncontiguous ter ritory 550.000,000, exclusive of goods sent by the Government for. use of the Army or of its officials. In imports from the Islands the in crease has not been as great as that in exports. The total value of our Imports from Porto Rico In the fiscal year 1S97 was 52,181.024. and in 1902 will be about 5S.000.000. From the Hawaiian Islands the imports In the fiscal year 1S97 were 513. 687,799, and the total for 1902 will be about 523.000.000. From the Philippines the im ports in the fiscal year,lS97 were 54.3S3.740, and for 1902 the total will be over 57.000. 000. The value of merchandise. Including gold and 6llver, received from Alaska ln 1S97 is estimated at 55,000,000, and for 1902 about 515,000.000, making the total imports of 1S97 from Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Phil ippines and Alaska about 525,000.000, while the total for the fiscal year 1902 .will be about 550.000,000. The Bureau of Statistics has Just re ceived Its "first record under the new law of shipments to Alaska. Formerly no sta tistical record was made of the ship ments to and from Alaska, which was a customs district of the United States and treated as such In the commercial reports of the custom-houses. During the last session of Congress, however, a law was enacted applying to trade between tho United States and Its noncontiguous ter ritory the provisions of the law relating to the collection of statistics of foreign com merce, and this will enable a complete rec ord of the movements of merchandise be tween the United States and Its noncon tiguous territory. It is in compliance with this law that the first record of the shipments to Alaska is now In the hands of the Bureau of Statistics. The ship ments from Seattle alone during the month of June amounted to 5774,000. Among the more Important articles shipped from the United States to Alaska were cattle, horses, flour, oats, railway cars, coal, eggs, gunpowder, hay, build ers' .hardware, machinery, fresh beef, milk, refined sugar and vegetables. Regulation of Bathing Costumes. PORTLAND. July 22. (To the Editor.) I notice an article in today's Ore gonlan', concerning four young boys be ing arrested and fined by Judge Hogue on the chirge that they were not at tired In the proper bathing costumes to swim In the river. Now let Judge Hogue turn his eyes towards a very conspicuous locality, which Is where the Portland Rowing Club Is located, at the east approach of the Morrison-street bridge, and observe the young men ranging from 19 to 25 yeirs of age, acting cute and looking pretty, and not one of them covered from neck to feet. Honorable prosecuting officer, pay a visit to the above mentioned locality, arrest all the swimmers not attired in tho costume as you describe, and you will arrest more than four little boys. Let us who have wives and children trust thxt Jodge Hogue and the prose cuting officer will make It their duty to have the swimmers and the mem bers of the rowing club have bathing costumes from neck to feet. I. B. R. The law does not require bathers to wear costumes from the neck to the feet, but only from the shoulders to the knee. The latter Is the regulation suit worn by the members of the Portland Rowing Club. A club rule which Is strictly enforced requires the bathers to wear such a costume, and as It comes within the requirements of the law there is no room for complaint. The tour young boys who were arrested were very scantily attired; their costumes were little If any better than none at all. The language of the Municipal Judge was perhaps susceptible of criticism as In accurate. Cholera Infantum. This has long been Tegarded as one of the most dangerous and fatal diseases to which infants are subject. It can .be cured, however, when properly treated. All that Is necessary Is to give Chamber lain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Reme dy and castor oil. as directed with each bottle, and a cure is certain. For aale-by all druggists. FUND IS NOW IN SIGHT BUSINESS 31EJT SUBSCRIBE READILY FOR ADVERTISING OREGON. Work Will Be Completed Today Talk of Establishing Permanent Exhibit at Union Depot. The Joint committee of the Chamber of Commerce and the B03rd of Trade has succeeded In raising nearly all of the 52500 fund for advertising Oregon through the Harrlman Immigration Bureau. Last night the sum In sight was about 52000. The fund will be completed today. The mem bers of the committee have not been able to devote much of their time to the work owing to private business, else they would have obtained the 52500 In a single day or less. Only the leading business men of the city have been approached for sub scriptions. The readiness with which citizens have subscribed has started a- proposal to raise additional money for a permanent exh'ibit. An equal sum of money would establish and maintain a display of which the city could be proud. The best place for the exhibit 13 thought to be the Union depot. "We must not only get people to come here," said W. M", KiUingsworth yester day, "but we must receive them when they get here. Business men are not the ones to do this. A permanent receiving committee should be named and paid Just to perform this service. When newcom ers, arrive, this committee should take them In tow and guide them. In the per manent exhibit there should be a lecturer to tell newcomers about Oregon. In this way they would learn about Oregon through all of the five senses at once." The committee which Is raising the 52300 came upon only one man who didn't wish more people to come Into the state. He was a sawmill owner.. He declared that there were enough people here already, and that more would only Injure his busi ness. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Marriage Licenses. Christian Grasscl, aged. 40, and Magdalena.

The temperatures In the Xorth Pa cific States are moderately mild, but In the SUMMER ADVICE. By One Who Knows. Keep cool In hot weather. "How?" By eating Grape-Nuts every day. "Rats!" No, not rdts. but a good, sound fact that thousands make dally use of. Grape-Nuts Is a predlgcsted food which makes the digestion easy. It gles the nourishment without the In ternal heat caused by heavy carbonaceous foods. You can feel from .ten to twenty de grees cooler than your neighbor when you eat pre per food that does not overtax the stomach. Grape-Nuts Is made from certain parts of tha grain and by mechanical process the starches are changed into grape sugar In the same manner as the stomach would do in the first act of digestion. The phosphates of the cereals are re tained In Grape-Nuts and these and the grape sugar supply the necessary nour ishment to body, brain and nerve cen ters. Grape-Nuts is a concentrated food giv ing strength, vitality and coolness to the body and energy and clearness to the brain. In place of the heavy, gluggish, draggy feeling caused 'by meat, potatoes, etc. Another point It is thoroughly cooked at the factory by food experts and saves you the trou ble. Tou get It from the grocer, and by add ing cream, it is ready to serve. No hot stove, no cross cook, no loss or time or exertion as with other food. Its crisp taste with the delicate sweet of the grape sugar makes It pleasing to the palate of themost critical epicure. The recipe book In each package -of Grape-Nuts gives many pleasing puddings, salads, entrees and desserts that can be made. Worth a trial and a package will prove it.
