MADE IN OREGON "
Manufacturers Push Forward
Their Trademark. .
MEET IN ANNUAL BANQUET
Prominent BnslncHs Men Partake of
Viands oC Home Production and
Spealc of ihe Needs of Pat
ronizing State Industrie.
The Manufacturers' Association last
night held Its annual reunion and pat
ronized the home Industry o its sociable
talent in a smoker, all, "made In Oregon."
The occasion -was a highly profitable one.
Opinions were exchanged about home In
dustry, how to make it gror and how to
enlarge the market for its products. Im
portant Ideas were engendered by this In
terchange of views. One of the fruits of
the meeting was a. resolution to unite the
.commercial bodies of the entire North
west In a demand for lower distributive
Zrelght rates.
An appetizing spread of palate tempters
greeted the eyes of the Manufacturers
when they entered the hall in the Allsjky
building. AH the viands had been made
Jn Oregon, so that' the gentlemen patron
ized home industry with full relish. The
centerpiece was a dish of salmon salad
In the exact shape of the famous cllnook.
JRve gentlemen were highly gratified that
uch artistic things could be made in
Oregon. Accessories to the delectation of
he patronizera of home industry were
J many descriptions, of so many, in fact,
lhat the gentlemen had to feast mostly
vith their eyes. And when they were
done patronizing home Industry there still
seemed to be Jtist as bountiful a supply
of things made in Oregon as when they
-had begun.
Eight new directors were elected, aB
lollows: Dan Kellaher, D, J. Zan, I. !N.
Tlelschner, "v7- H. McMonies, John Mon
lag F. S. Doernbecher, F. L.. KnlBht and
D. 1L Dunne. These men will serve for
three years. The other directors are:
Charles Coopey, B. J. Holmes, T. B.
Kay. of Salem; O. E. Helntz, J. W. Goss,
3. Albers, George Lawrence, Jr., A. .ep
pach. A. H. Devers. W. H. Morrow, E.
H- Kllham, Fletcher Linn, D. I ovey,
SL Metzger. A. E. Gantenbeln. Jesse Ed
.wards. of Newberg.
Next Tuesday night the directors will
meet to elect officers of the association.
At present the officers are: W. H. Mor
row, president; I. N. Flelschner. vice
president; "W. H. McMonies. treasurer;
C. H. Mclsaac, secretary. A new execu
tive committee will also be elected to take
the place of that composed of R. J.
Holmes, Herman Metzger, A. H. Devers,
George Lawrence, Jr., and S. B. Schwab.
President V?. H. Morrow reviewed the
work of the association In an entertaining
address. B. D. Inman spoke about the
general prosperity of the Northwest. D.
M. Dunne made an interesting speech
about immigration, adverting to the great
future in store for the Northwest prom
ised by the great tide , of people who have
turned their thoughts and faces toward
the Pacific. H. Wittenberg, in a vigorous
speech, scored the transportation com
panies, and aroused much enthusiasm by
his advocacy of lower distributive freight
rates. Other speakers were R. J. Holmes,
R. Lutke and Tony Neppach.
Secretary Mclsaac submitted his an
nual report, which Is in part as follows:
Old lines of manufacture now stronger than
ever In this section are lumber, furniture, flour,
meat packing, saddlers', xrult -packing, cordage,
marine and logging machinery, bar iron, linseed
oil, tanning; hides, cigars, potteries, metals,
upholstersd furniture, coffee, spices, baking
powder, soap, gloves, wood pulleys, trunks,
clothing, shirts, uniforms and overalls, stoves,
bags and bagging, art glass, crackers, wood
and paper boxes, matches, brooms and many
others. In addition to which many new manu
facturing enterprises have been established.
Oregon Is richly supplied with the necessary
raw material, and generously dowered with all
possible advantages for manufacturing, and
though lacking population. It can boast of
large development along manufacturing lines
during the past few years. With an era of un
precedented growth and prosperity Immediately
before us, the people of Portland and of the
whole state aro called upon earnestly to con
sider ihe necessity of energetically pushing the
development of tho manufacturing possibilities
of the state. !Thls Is the only sure means of
making,-, owth and steady prosperity here
rapid and permanent.
The growth of Portland as a manufacturing
center, upon which Its' present growth and
steady prosperity depend, rests wholly with the
mass of" the people. A generous policy on the
part of merchants and consumers towards new
manufacturing enterprises, added to an intelli
gent popular support, as expressed In a demand
lor home-made goods, will unfailingly build up
.our city a contrary policy will Just as unfail
ingly depi 33 its prospects. Well-paid people
are ready buyers. Let tho manufacturer have
the hearty support of the storekeeper, and of
our combined mercantile and business Interests
and ho will not only push his factory to larger
dimensions, but, with more families drawing
their maintenance therefrom, he will pay his
men better wages.
No one with money to spend does it more to
the merchants' advantage than the average
'American mechanic. While the Manufacturers'
Association Is working indofatigably to build
3jp "Portland and develop Oregon, this work can
not bo satisfactorily accomplished by them
without the hearty co-operation of every citi
zen of this city and state. The whole body of
common consumers should awaken to a sense
of their responsibility in this matter. As a
rule, they are too careless and forgetful they
do not sufficiently support the manufacturers
already established and struggling for success.
The motto, "Patronize Homo Industry," looks
well, reads well and sounds well, but the deed
'is wanted. As a matter of fact, our people
do not patronize home Industry one-half as
much as they should, or as they might with
positive benefit to themselves. In short, the
advantages of patronizing home Industry are so
numerous and self-evident that It seems idle to
-waste words in their exploitation.

CANADA IS OPEN DOOR.
Rejected Immigrants Go There and
Then Step Into America.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 80. Commissioner-General
Sargent, of the Immigration
Bureau, has madef public a report from
Robert Watchorn, special immigration
inspector, dated Paris, August 22, on the
emigration to tie United States by way
of Canada. Mr. Watchorn says that
Europeans who obviously are Ineligible' to
enter the United States for several years
have been directed by agents to Canadian
points, with a view to effecting a sur
reptitious entrance into the United States
across the International boundary. In
tending immigrants who by reason of
some disqualification are rejected bv the
lines running to United States ports are
turned over to the lines running to Can
ada, and with a few exceptions they are
accepted without question. Thousands
every year thus find their way into Can
ada and thence to the United States. Mr.
Watchorn says:
"Every steamship agent alludes to the
tact that the United States Immigration
laws are now being strictly enforced
there, and In consequences the Canadian
route is earnestly recommended as one
where any oneJs accepted who is'capable
of walking off tho ship, a statement
which is Invariably coupled with a gra
tuitous lesson In North American geogra
phy designed to -impress on the Immi
grant's mind the cheering information
that Montreal Is . a border, and simply
to walk across the border is an easy mat
ter, unattended by any Inconvenience
whatever, there being no inspection at
said border.
"The efficient work of the immigration
officials at New York and other ports of
the United States not only tends to make
a farce of commendable scrutiny exer
cised at the Belgian,' Holland and Ger
man ports, but serves to stimulate the
work of the unprincipled list of European
steamship passenger agents who regu
larly send to Canada not only those
whose admission to a United States port
Is open to doubt, or those whose admis
sion Is known to be impossible, - but also
those who have been actually denied ad
mission at a United States port and who
have been, duly deported therefrom ac
cording to the law.
"So Important", matter has this shady
immigratlon become in certain Italian and
Swiss towns that scores of agencies exist
where, a normal traffic could scarcely jus
tify the maintenance of a single agency."
In conclusion the report urges that all
roads into the United States be made
equally strait and narrow.
NEW BRIDGE IS OPENED
Commissioners Accept Sandy River
Structure.
GRESHAM, Or., Oct. SO. (Special.)
County Commissioners Showers and
Barnes and Roadmaster Steele went out to
the Sandy on Monday and made an exam
ination of tho bridge recently built
across that stream on the Base Line road.
The bridge is all new except some por
tions of the Iron work, and abutments.
The cost was $4594. J. B. Tillaston was
the contractor, who completed the work
last week, all conditions, including the
stage of the river, having been favorable
for speedy prosecution of the job. The
bridge was accepted and thrown open for
traffic
Reunion nnd Hunt.
James, Hubert, George and Harry Pres
ton, four brothers who grew up in Gresh
am, are having a reunion which will last
two months. James Preston recently ar
rived here from New York, while George
was in Eastern Oregon. They arranged
for a trip into the Cascade Mountains,
and are there now enjoying a big hunt all
by themselves. They realize that they
may never get together again, and are en
joying each other's society while they
may.
Mail Boxen Condemned.
A recent order from the Postofflce De
partment gives notice that the old mall
boxes in use here on the rural routes have
been condemned and that they will have
to bo changed for something better. The
old boxes are plain tin affairs, and very
frail. They were never approved by the
department, but had been allowed to
stand, although fully one-fourth of them
are so badly damaged as to be unfit for
use. The letter-carriers have been in
structed to report all such boxes to the
postmaster, who will report to the Postmaster-General
concerning them. Their
use will be continued only for a short
time longer, and all persons refusing to
get letter-boxes will be considered as not
desiring free delivery.
Brief Notes.
Gresham Grange, Patrons of Husbandry,
will hold a fair and entertainment next
Saturday afternoon and evening. A large
number of articles will be offered for sale,
the proceeds to be devoted to charitable
objects.

evening this week netted $42, whloh will be
sent to the Maccabees at Bridal Veil,
who were burned out in the forest fires of
last month.
The Ten-Mile Roadhouse at Rockwood
has quit business permanently. " Its pro
prietor, Max Reuhle, has announced his
Intention to become a farmer. He has SO
acres of excellent land which he will put
In cultivation as soon as possible.
Potato harvest Is progressing rapidly,
although somewhat retarded by the shfPS
ery weather. The crop will be consider
ably below the average, probably 25 per
cent. "Very few potatoes will be sold be
fore January, as nearly every grower will
hold for a rise In prices.

ORIGIN OF HALLOWE'EN
EVE OF THE DAY DEVOTED TO ALL
THE SAINTS
Scarcity of Saints Nowadays Causes
Observance, to Decay Pranks
of the Right.
The public generally takes very little
interest these days in Hallowe'en or Its cel
ebration, and many do not even under
stand or care when or why the occasion
was instituted or should be celebrated.
something over a
thousand years ago,
when saints were
not so scarce as they
appear to be nowa
days, It was found
that if each of them ffi
were to be jriven a 23
special day, as St
Pacrick and others
still have, there
would be no day left
for the people who
were not saints. So
It was decided to get
up a sort of merging
arrangement and in
clude all the saints
who had not been
granted speacial days
in a yearly aetrrc-. - .
gate commemoration. "s e aiuc
At, first May 1 was . pecl
chosen for AH Saints' day, but later it was
changed to November 1: so that now Hal
lowe'en falls on the last night in October,
which appears to suit the saints Just as
well, as no remonstrance has ever been
presented by them.
It Is rather a sad commentary on the
progress of Christian enlightenment, civi
lization, etc.. that saints are not so nu
merous as they were a thousand yeara
ago. but the world has become used to
getting along with a few, so It Is all
riEht
But the ardent breast of the maiden
still glows with the thought of a possible
unknown to be discovered in the "mirror.
She lights the candle saved for weeks
surreptitiously and goes through all the
delightful contortions necessary for the
efficient, working of the spell; she throws
the apple peel and ducks for chestnuts.
Men and boys have no such sentimental
ceremony. This Is one season when the
5 masculine lover is
merely receptive, a
possible, but not In
evitable, partner. Yet
some outlet must bo
provided, so the
young 'fellow honors
Cupid and the multi
tudinous saints by a
grand twisting of
material objects. The
maiden's rosy cheek
still blushes from
that fateful view In
the mirror as she
follows the prophecy

that the celebration of Hallowe'en, which
was kept up in such animated style when
they were young men, had fallen into dis
use. Then they fell to talking over the
pranks they had seen cut up or had as
sisted in carrying on in celebration of
Hallowe'en. One of the talkers had lived
in Pennsylvania when a boy, another In
New England and two had come eariy to
Oregon.
Their stories were interesting as show
ing how widespread the celebration, of
Hallowe'en was 20 to 50 years ago, and
how closely tho pranks cut up on the oc
casion In oue state resembled those of
other states.
The celebration has usually been on a
grander scale in small towns and in the
country than in cities. The removal of
gates, and hanging
them high up In
trees, or other Inac
cessible places; the
stretching of cords
across paths or side
walks a few Inches
above the ground
was a common trick
everywhere, and a
bad trick, as people
tripped by such cords
were frequently bad
ly hurt
The changing of
signs has also been
a favorite thing with
celebrators of Hal
lowe'en. To carry a
saloonkeeper's sign
away, "place It on a
millinery store, and
put up the milliner's
sign in Its place, was A great joke,
thought a fine joke, and sometimes in
small towns half the signs would be thus
exchanged on Hallowe'en.
Putting wagons in almost inaccessible
places appears to have been a great cus
stom. One story was told about a gang of
young men in Salem, who spent almost a
whole night In collecting every wagon
they could get hold of and piling them
seven tiers deep on an open square in
front of the Sisters' School. Some of the
same crowd, who are now quiet, middle
aged men, and hold- offices of trust and
responsibility under the government, on
this same occasion climbed at the risk
of their lives and dressed the statue of
the Goddess of Liberty on the Courthouse
in Salem in a brilliant masquerade cos
tume. Here in Portland quite a number of yearg
.-.go a lot of students at the old Port
land Academy celebrated Hallowe'en by
placing a wagon
astride the ropfT of
that historic build
ing. A huge street
sprinkling wagon
was also placed on
top of a blacksmith
shop, where It had
been left for repairs.

Irregularly all through the long night
The Pennsylvania man had lived In the
country, and told how a gang of boys
worked nearly all night to carry the
shocks of fodder from a cornfield arid
stand them in the road till the road was
blocked fcr a long distance. They then
carried a whole crop of pumpkins half
a .mile to the top of a. steep hill, and rolled
them down, destroying them, and wound
up by dragging an old wagon to the top
of the hill, putting a lot of straw In if,
fastening the pole straight ahead, ani then
pouring a lot cf coalbil over the wholej
setting the whole on the and starting It
down the hill. He had no Idea that any

TO DOUBLE POLICE FORCE.
Preservers of the Peace Will Attempt

Mischievous boys and -men who feel a

old are asked to remain In their homes
tonight when the curfew bell rings at 8
o'clock, because if they are found, on the
streets after that hour they are liable to
be arrested and spend some little time in
the city Jail. Nearly all the school jani
tors in tho city are now special police
men, and they will be on guard at the va
rious school buildings tonight, to deal
with those who will attempt to destroy
property. Two years ago many wagons
and portions of fences were stolen from
their accustomed places by marauders and
burned by the alleged merry-makers". This
year those whose property was Uurned in
1900 are to be on watch and say they
have taken measures to protect that prop
erty. Taken altogether, the hallowe'en
burning brigade will have a strenuous
time of it tonight In trying to work Its
own sweet will.
COLLEGE GIFT ASSURED.
Rockefeller's Terms Will Be Met by
Xevr York Teachers' Institution.
NEW YORK, OctJ 30. Although only
six days have elapsed "since John D.
Rockefeller offered to contribute $500,000
to the Teachers' College contingent on

feller's $500,000 will- be available as soon
as the debts of the corporation, amount
ing to $190,000. shall have been paid, and
the other half In Installments of $25,000.
whenever an equal sum Is received by
the treasurer of the college.
Mr. Rockefeller's contribution- to the
college was made as "a thank-offering to
Almighty Godd for the preservation of
his family and household on the occa
sion of the destruction by Are of his
country home at Pocahontlco Hills, N. Y.,
on the night of September 17, 1902."

i
FAIR BOARD MEETS TODAY
LEWIS AND CLARK DIRECTORS TO
" DISCUSS THE EXPOSITION.
President Corbett Is to Announce
Legislative Committee Which
Will Seek Appropriations.
The Lewis and Clark Board will meet
this afternoon. Important amendments
to the bylaws of the corporation will be
made by reducing the number of commit
tees and consolidating the work of the
board. President Corbett Is expected to
announce the personnel of the legislation
committee, which will have 13 members.
This will be one of the most Important
working bodies, for It will be charged
with the duty of obtaining appropriations
from the Legislatures of Oregon and
neighboring states and from Congress.
The members of the board share Presi
dent Corbett's opinion that the Legisla
ture should appropriate $5C0,C00 or nothing.
That sum is the smallest which the boa.-d
would venture to receive fcr the purpose
of creating a large exposition. No smaller
amount could carry out the plans of the
Fair on a scale that would be creditable
to Oregon. Congress and neighboring
states will measure their appropriations
by the size of that which Oregon will
make. If Oregon Is not liberal neither
will they be liberal and the purpose; of
the Exposition will fall to the ground.
The directors arc encouraged to believe
that the idea of the Fair is broadening in
the minds of citizens over the state who
took a narrow view of It By next Jan
uary they think that the plans pf the Ex
position will be so well understood that
the appropriation will encounter little or
no opposition in tho Legislature. President
Corbett's decimation that $500,CCO was the
smallest sum cn which the directors could
assume the responsibility of undertaking
the enterprise has been the means of
showing forth the sincerity of the board
and the large caliber of Its plans. Its
members appreciate the fact that ?300.000
looks like a hig appropriation, but they
believe that sum will not appear excessive
when It Is compared with the far-reaching
plans of the Fair. Those plans cover the
entire breadth of the state and their ulti
mate aim is the advertisement and ex
ploitation of all Oregon.
GRANITE FOR GOOD ROADS
Fine Deposit "fear Albany, Which
Stands Severest Tests.
Granite for roads Is a material to which
the attentionof the Oregon Good Roads
Association has been called. Fifty miles
cast of Albany, on the Corvallls & East
ern Railway, Is a quarry of fine granite
carrying hornblende, Instead of mica, and
a small percentage of pyrites. Edwin
Stone, manager of that railway, had sam
ples of the granite on exhibition at the
good roads convention In Portland two
weeks ago. The granite was pronounced
by the agents of the good roads inquiries
of very excellent grade for highways.
The quarryis the most accessible of Its
kind in the state.
Last Wednesday James W. Abbott, Pa
cific Coast agent of the inquiries, and a
party of Albany people visited Granite
Mountain, as the place Is called. A part
of the mountain Is private property, and
the owners are .wJUIng to operate crush
ers If there Is demand enough for the
rock to meet the cost of the machinery.
John Fulton, professor in the State Agri
cultural 'College, made four tests of the
granite. One sample underwent a crush
ing power of 16,250 pounds per square
inch, another 25,475 pounds, the third 25.

LAST SATURDAY'S
GREAT RECORD
An Indication of the. Growth of
Eilers Piano Hottse and
N the Great West.
Dozens of Your Friends Un
doubtedly in the ist A Lit
tle. Glance Backwards, Too
What the 25th Bay of October
Means, nnd Hott Such Ilecof ds
Ai-e Made Eossible ,
Just four years ago, October 25th. vc
determined to organise the business known
everywhere as filers P;ano House. Tnc
mot day the doors opehea lor tr.is new
enterprise two planes were sold. Pour
years ago even two piano .sales were con
sidered record-breaking business.
in contrast to this we sold on October
23th, this year, from the ifortland store,
exactly 29 pianos and otgans. and in addi
tion to thei?e the San Fraiielsco and Sac
ramento Houses disposed of ecvemccn ln
Ptrumpnts on the same day.
There Is riot a piano cstaolishmcnt out
side of the very largest manufacturers
that can show such a- record.
Isn't it really o lars:e tnat it almost
passes belief? Many will .really tlouDt
that such a rcoord of pianos sel.lng could
be shown in the West, that 29 sales could
be made on one single day out of tie
Portland House alone. Thertfore wc men
tion the names.
Our cooks are open to Inspection to any
one interested, and wc dare say, too, that
this day's record, large as It seems, is not
by any manner of means tue very lar
gest. But we wlah to emphasize the fact that
just four years after the Idea of Eilers
Piano iious? way first seriously consid
ered, we 3old twenty-nine line pianos and
organs In one single day.
No less than seven piano dealers have
gone entirely .out of existence during the
past four years, and with the exception
of that well-known pioneer of the "Western
trade, llr. Henry Slnsheimer, there is not
a single ilrm in business today that was
engaged in the music builncss at the
time Eilers Piano House Hrst started.
"It is simrly a question of the survival
of the fittest." said a prominent member
of the music trade recently in contempla
tion of this record.
"Wc believe that wc have been, and are
today, in position to furnish patrons more
actual intrinsic piano value for the moncy
than can any other existing firm. And
therein lies the secret of the Eilers Piano
House success, and the reason for the
big piano selling each day.
The purchasers last Saturday were as
follows:
Mr. A. Thomas took a RIcca, superbly
cased in quartered oak.
Miss Eleanpr Switzer selected a beauty
In rosewood finished case.
Mr. J. M. Simpson made his, family hap
py with a magnificent Decker.
Mrs. E. R. Vaughn, down in Bodie,
Washington, chose one of the line new
Victor pianos, and her taste In selecting
a choice mottled Circassian walnut case
Is to bo commended.
Mr. W. E. Preston took that greatest
of all the great pianos, a Weber he is
fixed for all time to come.
Mr. J. H. Harrell paid his money and
also took a world-famous Weber, in Ren
aissance designed case of fancy mahog
any. .
Miss D. Agergaard secured a very hand
some Kimball.
Miss Louise E. Ellert chose one. of the
fancy mahogany new Lelcht uprights.
Harry DePledge was another to be cap
tivated with a superb Weber, in a tine
mottled mahogany case.
Mr. Thomar Clelland purchased one of
those neat little Marshall uprights in
walnut Case.
P. W. Lawrence determined, after care
ful Investigation, upon a fine large Chlck
cring, in dark mahogany ca&e.
Mr. A. G. Critchfield, of Plaza, made a
Waterloo organ his.
Mr. R. Leonard, Rosalia, -Wash., is an
other man who prefers . the costliest and
best. He took a Chickerlng.
Mrs. Burwood has started with a Chi
cago Cottage organ. It will evolve Into
a piano before long.
Mr. Edw. Grover, of Newport, took a
Ricca, In a cane of figured mahogany.
Professor A. Von Jesson, of Spokane,
"Wash., the great musical authority of
Eastern Washington, has set himself up
for life with a Chlckerlng Concert Grand
Piano.
M. Henry Nickels, of Cheney, Wash.,
has a magnificent new Kimball..
Mrs. D. M. Parkhurst has a fine Esty
organ. .
Miss Florence Estelee Is slhiply jubilant
over the fine Kimball she now has.
"W. O. W. -Trombone Band, Rosalia,
Wash., took a Hall- & Co.
Mtos Leta Davis, a handsome Schumann.
Mr. G. W. Walker, a New England
organ.
' Miss M. Hardwick, of Spokane, is an
other happy possessor of - one of those
perfect and now famous Kimballs:
The Rev. Mack, Medical Lake, has a
Kimball, too, in a hnsidsome San Do
mingo walnut case.
Mr. F. E. Brown would be content with
nothing but the finest a beautiful oak
cattd Kimball.
Mr. E. L. Barnes took another of the
finest of Kimballs.
Chas. Lyon, Basalt, Idaho, Kimball, too.
Mr. T. C. Wagner, Dallas, Oregon, chose
a handsome weber, In an .antique ma
hogany case.
Mr. J. J. Price bought one of those
beautiful toned new Schumanns.
All in one day, mind you. All on Sat
urday, the 23th! This is just a sample;
all are busy days ,wlth us; It Is the way
we grow, and why? Because we sell the
best pianos made at the lowest prices and
on the easiest terms that can be cecured.
Every statement we make we back up
with facts, therefore we believe the pub
lic has learned to haVe' confidence In us
and to take our pianos In preference to
all others. Eilers Piano . House, S51
