1905
Centennial:
Henry E. Dosch, 'Orogen's .representa
tive to Japan In the. Interests of the
X.ewis and Clark Fair, -xill leave for To
kio next Saturday ewning. He tvlll go
ftrst to Vancouver. B. C, and .there take
the steamer Athenian, on September L
After q. 16-day voyage .he will land in
Yokohama, and -will then be .but an hour"
jide from the Japanese capital, where he
Tvill meet the Minister of Foreign Affairs
and the Mikado, and. present the business
lie has in hand. He will spend about 10
weeks in Japan, and will' then return to
Oregon to prepare an exhibit to be set
up in the National Exposition to be held
at Ozaka. from March 1 toi July 31. 1903.
The purposes of Mr. Dosch's visit to
Japan are many, and then is every rea
son to believe that his trip will be pro
ductive of great and lasting good to the
commercial Interests of Oregon In tho
Orient. First, Mr. Dosch will show to
the Government of Japantthat the State
of Oregon will aid the Japanese Exposi
tlon by maintaining an exhibit that will
add much to the interest of the enter
prise. He will remind our neighbors across
the crater that Oregon has been the first
American State to arrange for such an
lexhiblt, and has even preceded the United
.States in that respect. He will set forth
the benefits that will accrue to both
Japan and the Pacific Coast States
through closer commercial relations, re
minding the Mikado that his people pro
riiip.n and manufacture numerous com-
xmodltles which should find a market in
Oregon, while this state produces many
things which the people of Japan could
buy here to advantage. In return for the
courtesy and friendly feeling Oregon has
shown in sending an exhibit to Japan.
Mr. Dosch will ask that country to send
an exhibit to the Lewis and Clark Fair
in 1905. Those who know theenergy and
enthusiasm which Mr. Dosch" puts into
everything he undertakes have no doubt
that he will succeed In Ws mission.
In order that tho Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial Exposition shall be a complete
success it is essential that there be pro
vided attractions which are entirely new.
It is for the accomplishment of this, in
part, that Mr. Dosch is planning a Jap
anese exhibit. While he has not his plans
perfected, lie believes it is practicable
and advisable to establish at the Lewis
and Clark Fair a Japanese village, in
which natives of that country will live
In accordance with the manners and cus
toms of their native land. Tho houses
will be constructed on the typical Japan
ese plan, the people will dress in their
usual costumes, and travel about in their
native conveyances. The methods pur
sued in the manufacture of silk, the curl
ing of tea; and the preparation of all ar
ticles of food and clothing, will be illus
trated by actual scenes which are true
representations in every respect. In
other words, it is proposed to make an
exhibit so complete and comprehensive
that a visitor to the Lewis and Clark Ex
position will get -as good an idea of life
In Japan as he would if he crossed the
Pacific to visit the Japanese irt their
homes. In order to aid himself in plan
ning the details for such an exhibit, Mr.
Dosch will take a good camera with him
and take pictures o all' scenes which
seem worthy of reproduction. His picture
will be of particular value for the reason
that they will be taken for a specific "pur
pose, and not in a random way, as most
photos are taken.
Most of his time in Japan Mr. Dosch
will spend studying the opportunities for
extending our commerce in that country.
He will visit all the most important cities
of the island-Yokahama, Toklo, Kobe,
Ozaka, Nagasaki and Nikko where he
will mingle with the men who are ex
tensively engaged in commercial enter
prises, and will become familiar with all
matters that would have an Influence
upon trade relations between that coun
try and the section of the Pacific Coast
which Mr. Dosch represents. He will
learn what products Oregon may best
una a marKet lor in the Orient, and will
Btudy the means byt which that market
may best be developed. An intelligent
iJca. of the opportunities that await
American enterprise in Japan is essen
tial to the preparation of an exhibit which
will benefit Oregon at the Japanese ex
position in 1S03. Knowing what the ex
hiblt should -contain, Mr. Dosch can pre
pare a display of products without need'
less expense or wasted energy.
Mr. Dosch goes to Japan with unusual
ly strong credentials and will therefore
bo accorded the most courteous attention
by officers of that government. He has a I
commission from the Governor of this !
state authorizing him to take charge of !
any exhibits that may be prepared to bo
installed at the Japanese Exposition, and
another commission appointing him to
represent this state in negotiating for the
establishment of a Japanese exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark Centennial. Besides
this, Mr. Dosch was yesterday presented
with credentials under tho seal of the
Lewis and Clark commission, authorizing
him to represent that body in arranging
for an Oregon exhibit at Ozaka in 1903.
This commission is in the form of a let
ter to the Minister of Foreign Affairs at
Tokio, and is framed in language whlph
wi:i indicate the .nigh regard in wiilch
2ux. Dosch is held by the body of eminent
men who have designated him as their
representative. The letter is as follows:
Portland. Or., U. S. A. Aug. 27. 1002.
Hon. J. Komura, Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Tokio, Japan Sir: Reposing special trust and
confidence in the integrity and ability of Mr.
Henry E. Dosch. the Board of Directors of
the Lewis and Clark Centennial and American
Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair have ap
pointed him their special commissioner to visit
tho Empire of Japan for the purpose of ar
ranging for an exhibit in behalf of the State
of Oregon at the Fifth National Industrial Ex
hibition of Japan, to be held 'at Osaka, from
.March 1, 1003. to July 31. 1003. In behalf of
this company, I recommend Mr. Dosch to the
courtesy and consideration of Your Excellency,
and "bespeak lor him that Attention to which
his character, personal and official, and the
merits of the cause of the state he represents
fully entitle him.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the Lewis and
Clark Centennial and American Pacific Expo
sition and Oriental Fair to be affixed this 27th
day of August, A. D. 1002.
HENRY E. REED. Secretary
It is learned that In- transmitting the
commissions to Mr. Dosch some 10 days
ago. Governor Goer enclosed with them a
very complimentary letter which Mr.
Dosch has been too modest to show to
the representatives . of the press. This
letter, taken in connection with his com
missions, should secure Mr. Dosch all the
consideration which 'would be extended to
any representative of any state. The let-
ter from Governor Geer contains a com
xnendaQon such as few men in Oregon
have ever received from the chief execu
tive, and doubtless Mr. Dosch will pre
serve it as one of tho most highly es
teemed testimonials to the success of his
efforts in behalf of his state. The letter
is as follows:
Salem, Aug. 18, 1002. Hon. Henry E. Dosch,
Portland, "Or. My Pear Colonel: I take pleas
tats In complying with the request of the
Lewis and Clark Centennial Commission In
appointing: you a special representath'e of Ore
gon to Japan In the Interest of our centennial
In 1905.
I desire to add that you have earned this
distinction by a close application to that par
ticular line of business until you have reached
that decree of perfection where the State of
Oregon would certainly feel at a lews If It
were required to carry on such an exhibition
without your valuable aid.
More than ever do I realize what a blessing
.it has been to the .State of Oregon that the
Spanish girl in Nevada, more than 40 years
ago. failed In her purpose to capture you as
her sweetheart.
Trusting you may have a pleasant Journey
through Japan, and that it may result, as I
have no doubt it will, to the Interest of the
state at large, X remain, as ever, very sin
cerely yours, T. T. GEER, Governor.
..SUPPORT OF GENERAL SMITH
Old Soldiers Generally Seem to Be
Standing by Him.
Army and Navy Journal.
Tn n. Iptter nildrisKl to the Society of
the Army of the Philippines General
Grenville M. Dodge takes serious excep
tion to the charges of cruelty and tor
ture brought against our soldiers in the
Philippines. He holds t&at the reports
concerning them are greatly exaggerated
and asserts that such technical violations
of law and regulations as there may have
been would not, during our Civil War.
have been considered worthy of notice.
He says that more charges were made
against himself and Ills corps than all
the charges against the Philippine
soldiers combined, but that they were
dismissed by General Grant with the In
dorsement that only the commanding
officer was able to Judge of the necessities
of a campaign in which orders had been
issued to accomplish certain objects.
General Dodge gives expression here
to -what we have the best reasons for be
lleving is the very general sentiment
among old soldiers in civil life. They
resent the suggestion that an exercise of
necessary severity in war is any evidence
of a bloodthirsty disposition or any
indication of demoralization among our
troops. They have learned that the most
effective methods arc the most merciful,
however severe they may be as applied
to individuals. Experience as well as
study has taught them that temporizing
with an uncompromising enemy prolongs
strife and Increases the sum of misery
which is tho accompaniment of war, even
at its best. They recall the early days
of our Civil War. when military minds
were occupied with strategic plans, de
signed to conquer the enemy without
hurting him, when Northern troops were
held to such a strict regard for boutnern
rights of property that they were com
pelled to discharge the unwelcome duty
of returning to their masters the slaves
escaping Into their camps and destroying
tho hope of liberty which came to these
simple souls when they learned that
"Massa Llnkum's" soldiers were at hand.
They remembered how the task of foonest
soldiers was made more difficult, and the
war prolonged, by the false sentiment
which made it impossible adequately to
punish the cowardly offense of desertion.
They sum up the enormous losses incurred
in lives and property during the early
years of the war because our troops
were, in a measure, compelled to follow
methods which our soldiers in the Philip
pines are now condemned for not follow
ing, and reach conclusions very different
from those announced by the critics of
our hard-pressed soldiers.
Contrasting the ineffectual methods
which inexperience and a vicious public
opinion compelled us to adopt in the
early days of war with those which,
under Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, led
to such brilliant results, with far less
expenditure of life and treasure, is it
strange that experienced soldiers should
unite their voices in protest against the
demoralization which comes to our Army,
not from the indulgence In .severity neces
sary, but from tho timidity engendered
by the fear lest they receive official re
buke, if not more severe punishment, for
practices -which experience show to be
essential to success In strenuous war.
Are the lives of our soldiers, and their
protection against the barbarous methods
of savage warfare, of so little, account
that their hands must be stayed because
they resort to the severe methods of un
compromising war, including that adopted
at the conference of The Hague? "With
the Moros still killing our soldiers on
duty in Mindanao the question, we con
sider, has far more than "mere academic
interest" It is of immediate and vital
concern. American citizens are doing
their duty in a distant land with the
sanction of their Government. Whatever
be the measure of necessity required,
whatever action those on the ground find
it necessary to take, they should be pro
tected against Ignorant and malignant
criticism, and above ail, against inju
dicious rebuke -which is as dispiriting to
the soldier doing only his duty as it Is
galling.
SAILOR'S BAD LUCK ON LAND
Victim of Three Shipwrecks Injured
by a Foil.
Having been shipwrecked three times,
and having visited nearly every point on
the globe, skilled in every craft and roas
ter of 12 different languages, Edward A.
Crape, at present a marine engineer, yes
terday met with the first accident of his
life that has disabled him for any length
of time. "While working on the building in
which Blazler a saloon is located, he fell
a distance of over 30 feet, and, besides be
lnr badly bruised, had his leg broken. It
was only by his presence of mind and the
control which he naa over nis position
while falling that he escaped being killed
by the fall.
The carpenters were repairing the
building, and there was trouble on the
roof -which they did not know how to
volunteered his services and climbed
through a window on the top story and
from there to the roof. Thinking that it
would be a good Joke, the carpenters
nailed up the window while he was out,
and left him no way to come down. Wish
ing to show them that the joke was not
on him. Crape looke'd over the situation
and said: "Well, it doesn t make much
difference to me how I get down. There
are fhore ways than one.". He seized a
large pipe which ran up the building and
again started to show his ability as a
sailor. It was a large pipe, and looked to
be strong enough to hold a man's weight.
but was not securely fastened, and he had
but started when it gave way and he fell
to the rround.
"I thought that If I could change my po
sltion so as to strike on my feet I would
be all right," said he, "and, having made
many" long Jumps -into the water, I had a
good control of my,posltlon. There was a
large box lying at the bottom, however.
and one foot struck that and went through
it. I believe now that it that box had
not been there I would Tiave broken both
legs."
"Have you always been a marine engi
neer?" he was asked.
"No, said he, "I can do any kind of
work. I go on the boat until I come to
some place that I have never visited be
fore, and then stop off and work on shore
for a time until I have seen something
of the country. This Is the longest that I
have ever been ashore, and it is the first
time that I ever had a oerlous accident.
I have been ashore here .about two months.
"I can talk to you in any language that
you may wish. I talk 12 different lan
guages, and all of them better than I do
English. I think I will stay on the water
after this. I would rather be shipwrecked
than to be laid up in bed."
When asked how many times he had
been shipwrecked, he said that he had seen
but three bad wrecks. "Once when I was
.on the Norwegian boat Moraldo. which
was wrecked near Cape Town, I swam
on a floating plank for 16 hours before I
was picked up. I thought that I was lost
that time, but it wasn't so bad as this
suffering."
Crape tells an interesting tale of his
travels, and says that he1 now considers
Portland his home. He lives at S5 North
Ninth street.

JOINS NEW YORK CHORUS
MISS DIAMOND .DOXXER, OP PORT
liAND, GOES OX THE STAGE.
With Another Wellesley Girl, She
Spends Vacation as. Member of
"Prince of PiUen" Company.
That a Portland girl. Miss Diamond
Donncr, is on the stage in New York City,
is the news contained in a Philadelphia
paper. The Press prints a full-page spread
telling the story of two Wellesley girls,
who are singing and dancing in a chorus
in order to make their college expense
money. Miss Donner is a well-known
Portland girl, xand was graduated from
ho TnrMiTt1 lp.ii1(nr in ennn nftpr
which she entered Wellesley College, '
MISS DIAMOND DONNER.
PORTLAND GIRL OX THE
where she sang In tho glee club, and made
an excellent reputation as a student.
The story of her entry upon -a stage ca
reer is told as follows:
" The Prince of Pilsen,' a musical com
edy now playing in New York, is paying
for a college education for two chorus
girls. It must not be understood from this
that the managers of 'The Prince of Pil
sen' have endowed two scholarships. It
is simply that two Wellesley girls are
slnginpr and dancing in the chorus in order
to make enough money to enable them to
complete their college course.
"Miss Helen Cogswell and Miss Diamond
Donner are. young ladles of high ideals
and strong determination. They are not
on the stage because they are stage-struck J
Indeed, they claim that the glamor of
the stage has no fascination for them but
they are there, simply and solely because
they can make more money as chorus
girls than they could in any other position.
And they need money. During the first
two years of their college life they had
everything that their hearts could desire.
Both had been reared in luxurious homes
in the West, andthe allowances they re
ceived from their parents were handsome
and sufficient to meet all their needs.
"The two girls are close friends, and
when they discussed their predicament
they determined to earn enough money in
some way to finish their education. The (
pay offered them in the shops would be
barely enough to support them. They
must have something besides that some
thing to keep them at college during the
Winter. And so their thoughts naturally
turned to the theater. Chorus girls, as
they had heard, made three or four times
the average pay of a shop girl. Accord
ingly they presented themselves for trial
before Manager Henry W. Savage and
were Immediately engaged, before he had
even heard thtm sing.
" 'They've got good looks enough to
hold a place, even if they couldn't open
their mouths he said to one of his amazed
assistants, for Mr. Savage usually doesn't
do things in this way by any manner of
meant; but when he came to hear their
voices and saw them dance, ho was more
than delighted, and predicted a future for
both if they made up their minds to con
tinue in the theatrical profession

LAWS' FOR LABORING MEN :
LEGISLATURE WILL BE ASKED TO
CONSIDER THEM.
Multnomah Delegation Will Be Ex
pected to Take Active Part in
Advocating Them.
Aside from the enactment of the new
Portland charter and the passage of a bill
appropriating money for the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, the Multnomah legislat
ive delegation will bo asked to give its
most careful attention to the enactment of
laws intended to advance the Interests of
laboring men. The libor unions are al
ready considering measures) which they
think should be given favorable considera
tion, and they will soon put them In defi
nite shape so that the bills may be studied
by the lawmakers before the legislative
session begins. The Intention of the labor
union people Is to be moderate in their de
mands and to frame their bills so as to
make them subject to as little criticism as
possible.
The members of tho Multnomah delega
tion have given very little attention as yet
to any subjects of legislation which are
likely to come up. The warm weather is
not conducive to deep thought. But when
the days gets shorter and the evenings
longer, they will meet informally and talk
over the problems which their election to
office presents. So far as can be learned,
the disposition seems to be to put oft the
formal organization of the delegation until
the Legislature meets, as was done two
years ago. The members from, this county
are quite harmonious in their relations,
and will work in unison for, any measures
which may seem to be needed by their con
stituents. One of the first bills the labor unions will
ask to have passed Is what Is known as
the fellow-servant law. the purpose of
which Is to make employers liable for an
injury .which one workman sustains by
reason of the negligence of another work
man. This measure was Introduced at the
last session, but it failed to pass.
For the purpose of lessening the danger
of injury to workmen it is probable that a
bill will be favored providing that own
ers of dangerous machinery must cover
the same with sufficient safeguards.
An eight-hour lav. has been, talked of,
but the disposition of the labor unions
seems to be not to ask for this measure
at this time, except as to public work.
There are some who believe an cight-Tiour
Taw should prevail In large cities, but It
In generally admitted that such a limita
tion on a day's work would not be found
satisfactory In country towns.
Compulsory arbitration Is generally fa
vored by the labor union people as well as
by many citizens who have suffered the
inconvenience of strikes, but the question
is such a large one and so Important In
all its bearings that it Is approached with
care. The legislative committees of tho
labor unions will give the subject atten
tion, and may have a law framed asking
for this means of relief against those cor
porations which control public necessities
.and choose to let the public suffer rather
than arbitrate a difference with their em
ployes. The election of State Labor
Commission, whose duty it shall be to in
vestigate labor troubles, is also talked
of as something to be desired by work
lngmen. Both the State Federation of Labor and
