12 THE MORNING OREGOSTIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1903. WON'T TAKE OFFICE But E, S. Conway Is a Power in Politics, HELPED TO REFORM CHICAGO Jb & Mllllonnire nntl Mifrht Hnvc Been United States Senator Talks of Portland's 1005 . Exposition. Few men have combined business and politics in the way that has won fame for E. S. Conway, the millionaire piano man ufacturer, of Chicago, who came to Port land on a social visit yesterday. Al though he has been In the forefront of many a stiff political encounter, and has led the Republican hosts of the "Windy City and of Illinois in many a hard fought battle, be has never held an office to which a salary was attached. "'And I never will." he said last night. "I believe that it is the duty of every business man to take the liveliest kind of interest in political affairs, but not with any eelfish end in view." Mr. Conway is a tall, broad-shouldered man, strong-faced and kindly-eyed. He will be the guest of Henry J. Ellers dur ing his stay in Portland, and It was In Mr. Eilers' office that he chatted affably about his views on men and affairs. "My first visit to Portland?" he echoed. "Well, hardly. I used to come to Port land when we had to use stages, and I hae been coming here every couple of years since the railroad was built, I took a drive about the city today, and it seems to me almost incredible that this splendid development is the result of en terprise reaching back so short a space of time. I have been able, because I have been so regular a visitor, to watch the steady growth of the city, and per haps it has impressed, me more than -thosej who are here all the time. "And Portland's future looks bright, too. The city and the surrounding coun try should reap material benefits last ing benefits from the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The World's Fair did more for Chicago than can be estimated in figures. But I hope your people will bene fit by the experiences of Chicago, and Atlanta, and Buffalo, and Nashville, and Omaha, and use proper methods in the matter of expenditures. I don't say this in the way of criticism of the manage ment of those expositions, for the men who had them in charge did the best they could with the lights before them. "But exposition management is some thing different from any other sort of business venture, and the Lewis and Clark Fair should benefit as well by the mistakes as by the successes of Its pred ecessors. There should be plenty of legitimate enterprise, but an avofdance of the many wild-cat schemes that these large fairs call into being." I say this as a result of our own experience in Chi cago, where in some lines we were guilty of overdoing.- We shall be represented well represented at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and Chicago wishes it every possible success.-" Asked about the published reports that he could have gone to the United States Senate .from Illinois, to succeed William E. Mason, i he had desired to, Mr. Con way said: "No one knows what might have hap pened, but I was never a candidate. On the contrary, I was heart and soul in the campaign of Mr. Hopkins, who was elect ed. In fact, I think I first suggested his name for the office two years ago, and we are proud to have him Jn the Senate. Illinois today has the strongest Con gressional delegation of any state, and we are never again going to lower the standard. 'Uncle Joe' Cannon, who will be the next Speaker of the National House of Representatives, Is one of the greatest men in the country, to my mind. Illinois Is going to follow the New Eng land custom hereafter, and return Its good men to Washington as long as they are willing to serve. Even our Demo cratic members are fine men." Mr. Conway has for years been the leader in political reform movements In Chicago, is president of the Union League Club and chairman of the Cook County Republican Committee. Discussing the subject of municipal reform, he said: "Only a short time ago Lyman J. Gage, George E. Adams and myself were the speakers at a reform dinner in Chicago, and I gave then my views on the subject of a business man's duties In politics. I told them that since I had taken an active hand in the game a score of my most intimate friends had iaken me quietly aside and said to me: 'Look here, Con way, what office do you want?' They could scarcely credit my assurance that I did not want any office, and I am only just beginning to convince them, of the fact. "I have a very high Ideal in the mat ter of a citizen's duty. I believe he should perform It for the public good, and not for any private purpose. And, in think ing this, I am by no means lonesome in Chicago. We have a splendid municipal ity there, and " "How about Carter Harrison?" "Oh, Harrison Is ri6t so black as he is painted. We Republicans can't beat him for Mayor because he won first on the antl-Terkes street railroad platform, and he has behind him now the prestige of continued success. Both Chicago and Il linois are Republican under normal condi tions, however, and will remain so. The city Is growing rapidly, and is attracting a most desirable class of new Inhabi tants. Business? Oh, business is good, not only in Chicago, but throughout the country, as I have been able to see It." Mr. Conway left last evening for San Francisco. LAST OF GABRILOWITSCH famous Russian Pianist Gives Fare well Concert. . It Is not often, apart from the great cen ters of music, that a pianist, however great he may be, can give two piano re citals In five days, attract large audiences at both recitals and send them home equally pleased, satisfied and enthusiastic. Yet this is what Osslp Gabrilowltsch. the Russian pianist, has done in Portland. He received the same storm of applause at his matinee recital yesterday at the Marquam Theater as he did at last Thursday night's concert. Yesterday afternoon's audience was largely composed of women, quite a number of whom are professional must clans. There are two influences apparent in the music of today Wagner, who casts a magic spell over those who would fain seek to escape from it. and those Slav composers and musicians who have come from what may be called the borderlands of Europe to invade the old headquarters of music, where Italy, France and Ger many have held sway for 300 yeara Cho pin began the new era, followed by Liszt, Rubensteln. Tschalkowsky, and In these latter days Gabrilowltsch. That the latter is one of the captains-general in the Slav invasion in the domain of music is becom ing apparent every time one hears him play. He has added to the national color of Russian music, influenced by the racial traits and natural environment of his race. After listening to Gabrilowltsch's play ing at two recitals, one is struck with the conviction that while first-class pianists truthfully Interpret composers as an ob ject Is reflected In a mirror, Gabrilowltsch Js a pianist who adds to every piece he plays his own delightful, musiclanly per sonality. He reproduces and recreates plecea .At yesterday's-recital he gave an Impetuous exhibition of passionate plan Ism. Yet his music was on the somber side. This is significant of Russian music, where progress In Russian national his tory has been marked by the oppression of domestic tyrants or the ruthless wrath of Asiatic enemies, and all this had its effect on the songs of the people. Their music is largely of the melancholy, plaint ive order, and in a minor mode. This con dition is largely reflected In Gabrilowltsch. The only dainty, fairy, merry little bit he played yesterday was the Dvorak selec tion. The strength of his programme rather lay In the grandeur and masslve ness of his other selections. Emphatically the most difficult, enjoyable and grandest contribution was the Beethoven sonata in E-flat major, op. 31. The allegro move ment does not give one a hint of the mu sical treat that is to follow, and only fas cinates one with technique. But the men uetto is the spellbinder. Here the motif occurs again and again like a running stream of water In a desert. The finale is remarkable for its fire and declamatory effect In accented notes. No wonder Ga brilowltsch was recalled three times when he finished the number. Gabrilowltsch's bell-like tone was artls- MILLIONAIRE POLITICIAN AND REFORMER. ' z I E. S. CONWAY, OF CHICAGO. I . J tlcally revealed in the Chopin ballade in G minor. It just. suited his style, quiet, restful, yet plaintive. He struck the bass firmly throughout, creating plenty of rich. warm color. His encore was Chopin's "F major Nocturne." There was much curi osity to witness his treatment of the "Toccato In D minor," written by his old teacher, Leschetlzky. It Is vigorously written, and has quite a sudden, dramatic surprising finish. It was splendidly played. The most striking selection was reserved until the last Liszt's "Hungarian Rhap- sodle. No. 8." This selection Is the fa vorite number of hosts of pianists, and It was Instructive to hear the authoritative, new reading of the theme by Gabrilow ltsch. He played it quite differently from the ordinary school. He seemed to pick up whole handfuls of notes and scatter them among his audience. He got five dif ferent recalls for thus number, and, as It would have been Impolitic to refuse his admirers, he gave them Rubensteln's "G minor Barcarole." It was really de lightful to listen to such piano playing, and it leaves pleasant memories. At the conclusion of the recital quite a number of his admirers called on him before he left the theater. Last night Gabrilowltsch left for San Francisco, where he is to give three recit als. Monday night he called at the home of Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer and played be fore several friends, Informally. Augusta Holmes. PARIS, Jan. 28. The death of Augusta Holmes; aged 53, the pianist and composer, was announced today. LARGER FACTORY NEEDED VACATION" OK EAST SIDE STREETS GIVES MORE ROOM. Action of City Council Given Impetus to Bnlldlnpr Operation for Box making Establishment. Through the vacation of East Water street, between East Ankeny and East Ash streets, and of East Ankeny from East First street to the 'river, the Stand ard Box Factory has now ample ground for the proposed enlargement of Its plant. These "streets were not used for any pur pose, and the City Council granted the petition for their vacation for manu facturing purposes. Several blocks are thus gained. The plant will be one of the largest on the Coast. Mr. Woodcock, president of the company, said yesterday that the plans had not been drawn, and he could not give out any information further than that the factory would be built there. However, there will be a sawmill of con siderable proportions, and other build ings, for dry kilns and for manufactur ing all kinds of boxes, will be put up. With plenty of water front, the company will be able to carry out its plans for en largement. Its present quarters are found too cramped. The manufacture of boxes has become a great business In "the North west. Millions of feet of Oregon spruce, the finest lumber in the world for the purpose, are turned into boxes of every sort, to meet the local demand, besides which heavy shipments are being made to fill orders from the outside. The block between East Pine and East Ash streets west of East Water street is the property of the East Side Mill Com pany, now erecting a large sawmill at Sellwood. It will be used as a lumber yard and for other purposes by the com pany. When the Standard Box Factory builds Its plant and the East Side Mill Company buhds Its dock, there will be great activity in this district- BUILDING RAILWAY TRESTLE. Will Carry Track Across Stepliens Slough for Sprlngwater Branch. Over 300 feet of tho trestle across Stephens' Slough, for the Portland end of the Springwater branch of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company, has been completed. It leaves the southeast corner of the terminal grounds, east of GABRILOWITSCH GIVES HIS FAREWELL the supplemental power station and fol lows the north side of the slough. It will make a curve onto East Third street. Yesterday the driver had reached some large cables strung from the power house of the City & Suburban Railway Com pany. There is a considerable cluster of these cables, which supply power for the electric cars. All have to be raised suffi-' clently high to enable the driver to pass under. The cables were being raised yesterday. A pole about 75 feet long was set In the slough and supported by guy lines in several directions. On this pole the cables will be -raised until the driver has been moved. It Is very ierious busi ness to move these cables, which carry heavy electric currents to operate cars on about 75 miles of trackage, but the Job will probably be finished today. James Gleason has charge of the work. The track has been laid out on the trestle. Up the line at Sellwood. the work of grading Is going forward as fast as the weather will permit. The steam shovel has been moved to that part of the Una north of Spokane avenue. AGAINST NEW DISTRICT. Promoters of Mansfield Project Meet Opposition. The movement to form a new school district 4n Mansfield additiqn between the Base line and Section roads, east of Mount Tibor, out of portions of Rus sollville, Montavllla and South Mount Tabor districts, is sure to meet with strong opposition from these thrre dis tricts. None of these will part with any of its territory willingly. The boundary lines of the proposed new district have only been Indefinitely con sidered. They will Include all of Mans field addition and the territory between the Base line and Section roads east of the cross road that connects with the Oregon City road south. Territory west of the cross road toward Mount Tabor will also be taken In probably to the east boundary line of Mount Tabor dis trict No. 5. This territory east of the cross road belongs to Montavllla district mostly and is thickly settled. The main territory of the new district, however, will have to come out of the Russellville and South Mount Tabor districts. Mans field is situated In the Russellville dis trict, which has taken steps to erect a six-room building. Chairman Mickelsen, of the board of directors, says they will give Mansfield addition a tcachar and open a school in the Union Church if there are pupils enough to justify the expense, but this does not satisfy the people, as many of them are in South Mount Tabor and Montavllla districts and could not avail themselves of this school without paying tuition. E. N. Stevens, member of the com mittee appointed by the mass meeting of Mansfield people, said yesterday that a new district was wanted between the Base line and Section roads. "There are fully 100 pupils." he sal, "who would at tend this school If we had one." Mr. Stevens was asked If Russellville estab lished a good school in the Union Church, whether that would, settle the matter. He said it might. WILL MAKE LOOP. Irviiipton Hallway Hrancli to lie Connected AVIth East Anlceny Line. The trestle across Sullivan's Gulch, on East Twenty-eighth street, through the grounds of the Docrnbecher Manufactur ing Company, has been completed- for the City & Suburban Railway Company, and the branch that ends south of the gulch will be extended across to make, a connec tion with the Irvlngton line. This latter line ends at East Twenty-fourth and Til lamook streets. Jt is proposed to form a loop. " At the north end of the trestle, which Is 100 feet long, there Is a considerable cut to be made In the bank, so the track may be extended. This extension will fur nish street-car facilities to a district north of the gulch, while the loop will enable the cars on the Irvlngton line to bo brought directly to the carbarn.. This is one ot the objects of the extension at this time, as the district north of the gulch on East Twenty-eighth street and beyond Is sparsely settled as yet. The trestle is only wide enough for a slng'ie track. A sidewalk was built on one side of it. REV. E. X. ALLEN COMING. Will Enter on Work at Cumberland Presbyterian Church March 1. R. R. Steele, of the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, East Twelfth and East Taylor streets, says that Rev. E. I N. Allen, of Kansas City, the new pas j tor, has accepted the call extended him and will arrive In Portland and enter on his work the 1st of March. He is highly recommended. His own congregation ac cepted his resignation with much regret. A Kansas City paper, in speaking of his work there, says: "Rev. Mr. Allen has been the success ful pastor of this church for eight years. He Is a classical graduate from the Mis souri Valley College, of Marshall, Mo., receiving the degree of bachelor of di vinity from the Union Theological Semi nary and the master's degree from the University of the City of New York. J He came to this church as his first charge, i and has been eminently successful, both as a preacher and as a pastor. The past CONCERT. year has been the most successful of his entire pastorate. Fifty-one members have been received Into the church, mak ing In all a total number of 339 who have come Into the church under his ministry. He Is held in high esteem by the mem bers of his congregation, and is well and favorably known throughout the city as a genial, talented and aggressive young pastor. Universal regret Is expressed at his proposed departure." Surprised Pastor and Wife. The members of the MIzpah Presbyter ian Church. Powell street, gave their pastor. Rev. Jerome McGlade and wife, a complete surprise Tuesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. McGlade were Invited out In the evening to the home of a friend who lived near the church. When the ladies had everything prepared they were sent for to come to the church. Much was their surprise to find it filled with people and attractively decorated. In be half of the congregation Penumbra Kelly presented Mr. McGlade with a well-filled purse and made some appropriate re marks concerning his work. Mr. McGlade responded, thanking the congregation for the acceptable token. Then refresh ments were served. It was the anni versary of Mr. McGlade's third year as pastor, and Mrs. McGlade's birthday. Since he came a new $5000 church has been built. Widen Cross-Roads. Good progress is being' made In the movement to widen the cross-road be tween the Barr and Section roads. This cross-road is open and improved half way between the Section and Base Line roads, but the remaining half Is but a 20-foot lane. E. N. Stevens, member of tho committee from the Montavllla Board of Trade, says that there are good pros pects that the people living along the narrow lane will give enough of their lots to make the road 40 feet wide. Near ly all have signed an agreement to this effect. Northward between the Base Line and the Barr road there "are also good prospects that the road will be widened. When all have agreed to the widening. the matter will be presented to the Coun ty Court for official action. This Is an important road and has long been needed. East Side Notes. C. H. Welch, a well-known Mount Tabor fruitgrower, who has been con fined to his home with sickness, Is now able to be out again. The funeral of Alvah HoIIaway was held yesterday afternoon. He was 22 years of age. His death occurred while he was In Los Angeles, Cal., where he went for. his health. He was a car mo torman. Rev. J. J. Walters will deliver his lec ture on- "Four Years Among Criminals" In the Woodlawn Methodist Church Fri day evening. This lecture contains an account of his experiences and observa tions while chaplain of the Jollet, 111., prison. A sacred concert will be held In the MIzpah .

It Is easy to correct the bad effect of wrong eating if one will give it a little tnougnt. scientific food Is Just as Dleas ant to the palate and In the case of Granp- nuis, is more aencious tnan ImDroner food, and It makes a world of dlfferenc In health and spirits. Some three months ago," writes Mr. E. I Saundero, of Boston, Mass., "I suf fered terribly with Indigestion; all kinds of food distressed me; sometimes I had a feeling of suffocation about the heart, especially at night. My sleep was broken and I lost flesh rapidly. "I commenced using Grape-Nuta and the relief from Indigestion was almost im mediate, and in a short time entirely dis appeared; my heart resumed Its normal condition and I attribute the cure entirely to Grape-Nuts. "A well-known lawyer of this city told me that he suffered from excessive nerv ousness, and before entering the court room to. try a case was obliged to re sort to stimulants. I urged him to try Grape-Nuts which he did with almost marvelous results; he not only gained flesh, but the nervousness left and his former strength and confidence returned. "I am convinced that Grape-Nuts gives strength to the body and vigor to the brain. It Is worthy of the highest praise and I will cheerfully answer all letters seeking Information In regard to the food." Remember Grape-Nuts food la most emphatically not a medicated food In any sense of the term; It is made of wheat and barley by scientific processes and the only reason It helps cure people Is that they quit Improper food and take a food in which the strong brain and nerve-building elements ; of Nature's grains are preserved and presented to the digestive machinery in a form that can be quickly and surely digested DR.
