THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY- JANUARY 31, 1903. ALL FOR 1905 FAIR Idaho, Utah, Montana and Washington. APPROPRIATIONS FROM EACH Assurance Thnt Figures Will Be Raised to Make Ailequate Repre sentation for Renpectlve States British Columbia cxt. C. H. Mclsaac Lewis and Clark Exposi tion Commissioner, returned to Portland last night after an absence of three -weeks, in -which time he interviewed the Gov ernors and Legislatures of Idaho, Utah, Montana and Washington. His work at Olympia was hardly begun, but the Leg islature adjourned over Sunday, and Mr. Mclsaac came home to report to the Lewis and Clark authorities, intending to return to Olympia Monday. From there he will go to Victoria, and urge suitable recogni tion of the Lewis and Clark Fair by the British Columbia Parliament. At Salt Lake City he also has work yet to do. "I saw the newspapers, too." said Mr. Mclsaac, in speaking of his visits to the various state capitals, "and I must say that all of them are cordial friends of the Lewis and Clark celebration. Any thing I wanted in the way of publication of information about the movement was freely given, and there was an exhibition of genuine Interest in the newspaper of fices that was quite contagious. Without the aid of the press In every one of the capitals I visited I would have found far less favor for the Lewis and Clark enter prise. "As It was, I met a cordial reception everywhere. Of course, they are not so well acquainted with the significance of the 1905 fair, historically or industrially, in those other states as we are in Oregon, where the campaign has already been on two years or more. But attention -was easily won, and there was eager interest on all sides. Men prominent in public life were at great pains to see that I got a proper hearing in all circles. And it was not merely a polite hearing that I got; real interest was established, and I am cure it will bear fruit In legislative ap propriations. It is no new thing to hear requests for exposition appropriations, but the states I visited gave special attention to the Lewis and Clark enterprise because of the family interest In the historic event it will commemorate, and also because it Is a new Idea to associate an industrial exposition of international scope with the Pacific Northwest. This calls upon them to face about and contemplate the Expo sition business from its other side from a side that appeals to all of them with all the force of a fresh discovery. "My first stop was at Boise. We had ex pected that the Lewis and Clark Commis sioners of that state would recommend the appropriation of a certain sum for the Fair, but they had not done so, and the Governor, in his message to the Legis lature, also left the matter open, though he recommended that the state make an adequate display at this Exposition. I found that the members of the Legislature from the northern counties of the state were generally In favor of a large appro- I priatlon, recognizing the matter as an In vestment that would yield ample returns. In Southern Idaho they were inclined to name a low figure. I think we shall get $50,000 from that state. Hon Ralph Jenk ins, the Republican leader of the House and chairman of the ways and means com mittee, will have charge of the Lewis and Clark bill in that body, and Senator R. J. O'Neill, of Wallace, will pilot it through the Senate. Judge Richards and E. W. Johnson, Boise members of the Lewis and Clark Commission, are actively enlisted in support of the appropriation, and they are Influential men and will be likely to carry through what they undertake. "I had a very encouraging talk with Senator Heyburn about a liberal National appropriation for the 1905 Fair, and I am hopeful of good results from his work. "In Utah Governor Wells had recom mended an appropriation of $10,000, but I think -we shall get at least $25,000. I was presented at the Commercial and Atlas Clubs by George P. Holman and Hoyt Sherman arid the Lewis and Clark Expo sition had all the novelty of a new story in those bodiea Salt Lake City's four newspapers, the Tribune, the News, the Herald and the Telegram, opened their columns to me in fine shape, and their courtesy was very much appreciated. Com missioners Hiram Clawson and 'L. H. Shurtliff, of Ogden, were also of material assistance to me in presenting the Lewis and Clark cause. "One of Utah's Lewis and Clark Com missioners is a fine old Mormon bishop of 76. He has had four wives, and Is the father of 47 children. His living grandchildren number 114. And all of them are heartily in favor of the Lewis and Clark celebration. "Through the absence of ex-Governor Sam T. Hauser in the East, the Lewis and Clark cause in Montana was not in a condition altogether satisfactory. Gov ernor Toole had of his own volition rec ommended an appropriation of $2500, but that sum is now generally recognized as too small to do justice to the state, and a much larger appropriation will be made. I left a very good feeling in Helena, due to the generous treatment of the newspa pers, aa well as to my own personal ef forts. Helena Is the county seat of Lewis and Clark County, so it is not surpris ing that the people there have a live in terest in the 1905 Fair. "I found the Washington Legislature too much distracted -with its Senatorial election to have given serious thought to Exposition matters. But so far as I was able to take soundings of official senti ment it was in favor of an appropriation of $100,000. Still there were many who recognized that Washington would be likely to get more benefit from the Lewis and Clark Exposition than Oregon would, because of the enterprise of her citizens in turning things their way. This brought out the admission that Washington ought In fairness to appropriate at least half as much as the State of Oregon, and I have hopes that when the matter Is prop erly presented to the members of the Legislature they will see it in this light. The friendliest possible feeling exists, and I think Washington will prove herself to lie neighborly. "O. L. Miller, of Baker City, a director of the Lewis and Clark corporation, and a good lawyer, assisted me to prepare a form of bill for the consideration of the Idaho Legislature, and I left copies of it with each of the other Legislatures. On the whole I think the work is in excellent shape, and we are sure to find a neighbor ly and fraternal spirit exhibited by all these states of the Northwest, as well as the spirit that sees a good Investment." RAILROAD FOR ALASKA. Senator Dietrich Recommends Ex tension of Time for Yaldes Line. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. Senator Diet rich, of Nebraska, made a favorable re port on the Senate resolution authorizing an extension of one year in the time for the completion of the first 20-mile section of the proposed railroad from Valdes, Alaska, inland through along Lowe River, through the Dutch Valley, and through Thompson Pass, to a point on Ptarmigan Lake, a distance of 32 miles in all. In his report the Senator says: Under the act of May 2S, 1S98, provision was made that If any section of a proposed railroad shall not be completed within one year "alter the definite location of said section so approved the rights granted by the said act shall be for feited. In this particular Instance the map 'of definite location of the company's line of road for 20 miles was approved January 28. 1002. so that by the law the right would lapse on Jan uary 28, 1003. Owing to the extreme difficulty of obtaining and transshipping supplies for the construction of the road In Alaska and securing laborers In that district, and for other reasons submitted In a communication received from the officials of the road, the committee recom mends favorable action on the measure. The stockholders, who are men of large expe rience In railway matters and men of standing In the neighborhood in which they reside, are absolutely confident of their ability to complete their undertaking within a period of from two to three years. "Should Conjrress refuse to grant the exten sion requested, the money already Invested, amounting to many thousands of dollars, will be lost to the persons furnishing it. and the enterprise one of the most important ever con ceived for the development of Alaska Itself be destroyed. fh the act of 1S75 railroad companies are given five years within which to complete a section of road, while In the acts relating to Alaska they are entitled to but one year. - Why this limitation as to Alaska, where. It must be assumed, the difficulties of building a road and Interesting capital therein are a thousand times greater than In the United States? New enterprises of uncertain issue always require time for their development. In this case everything that could have been done to comply with the requirements of the act has been done, and yet the section of the road re mains uncompleted. There has been no unnec essary delay on the part of the directors of the corporation. The extension asked for should be granted for the purpose, if none other, of removing the law's discrimination against Alaska. The dl- PEOPLE OF MOKTAVILLA i MT. TABOR CAT.HOUC SOUTH MT.

Tho diagram shows the territory out of which the people of Mansfield are trying to form a new school district. It takes portions of Russellvllle. South Mount Tabor and Montavllla districts. The dotted lines show, approximately, what the boundary lines may be If the new district be organized. These may be modified materially on the north and west sides, as the lines take in a thickly settled portion of Montavllla district, so that the north line may be moved south and the west line eastward. However, the territory lies between the Section Lino and Base Line roads, the east line of District No. 5 on the west and the east line of Mansfield on the east side. It Is said that a district containing 300 people with about 100 pupils can be formed within this territory, without Interfering with the South Mount Tabor, Russellvllle and Montavllla, for th reason that these schools are already overcrowded; besides, these buildings aro so far away that a large number of pupils are unable to at tend either. In mass meeting the people of Mansfield declared unanimously 'for anew district, and appointed a committee, of which William Purdy Is chairman, to take the matter up. This committee Is now at work on tho proposition. It Is proposed to start school In the Union Church, In Mansfield Addition, If a new district be formed, until a new building can be put up. Meanwhile the Directors or Russellvllle district, who are to erect a six-room building this year, propose to start a school In the Union Church on their own account. It la evident that therv will be a hot fight over the movement before the end Is reached. If the people Insist on a new district. Russellvllle district has levied a tax of 8 mills for a building fund, and will not be In clined to let go any of Its territory. The Directors will hold a meeting with tho advisory building committee this evening. This may be an Interesting meeting, as E. N.

I fought onincf i?mi nc hard as I could." was the preliminary address which an ex-pollce-man made to Mayor Williams yesterday, after the usual salutations had been ex changed. "No," he went on, "I was against you from start to nnisn ana i worked against you at the polls." "You are very frank about it, re sponded the Mayor, his lip curling into a smile. "I have told you exactly how I stood. Mayor," said the other as a sort of a reply. The Mayor and the applicant looked at each other closely, the former curiously, the latter defiantly. And what do you want?' asKea me Mayor after a pause. I want a place on tne police torce. was the prompt response. Where are your recommendations i in quired the Mayor In surprise. "I did not bring any with me, but I can cet them." said-the applicant. "I thought all that was necessary was to tell you how I stood In the campaign and I told you that I was on the other side." Are you sure you were on the other' side?" asked the Mayor suspiciously. Was I? Well, you ought to know some thing about that." And you were on the otner siae. mused the Mayor. "That is strange. Are you sure you were on the other side?" "Certainly." "Well, then," said the Mayor, "you are the only policeman who was against me. Every man on the force excepj: yourself told me he baa worKed ror my election day and night. The entire force appear to have been my friends." "I wasn't," was the calm rejoinder. "Well, then, I must compliment you up on your frankness," said the Mayor. "But I can really do nothing for you, except to advise you to present your petition for a place to ' tho Civil Service Commission, over which I have no control." The px-miarfllan of the npneo Rtnllrnri out of the chamber, and he was replaced by a bushy whiskered man who wanted employment at once. He entered with a haste characteristic of Hawthorne's man of spoils, and he laid his burden down just as easily. "I am out of work and nearly out of money," he said briefly. "I filed an ap plication with the City Auditor and told him I wanted to go to work on the first of the month. One of the deputies told me that there were a number of applica tions ahead of mine, and I might have to wait some time." "I am sorry," said the Mayor, "but I cannot relieve you," and the man who wanted a job on a day's notice departed. "It is one of the trying ordeals of this office and I come in," and an ex-pollce- man entered. "You will have to present your appli cation to the City Auditor," said the Mayor after the visitor had stated his mission. "He is now in full charge." The visitor left, and the Mayor was re minded of the trying ordeal of which he had spoken. "These applications were," he replied "long a trying ordeal to me, but the Auditor must now suffer." From the number of annHrattnno ki have been received, it Is not unlikely that vii .iuuuur uevnn ana nis deputies will suffer a great deal. Yesterday there were 30 applicants for places In the street cleaning and sprinkling department and iuh uunce QEDarunent. :vnriv nil -n- for the first-named branch of the munici pal service, and all were from outsiders.

UNION LABOR COMBINE ACTING OX THE PLAN OF J. PIER rOXT .1IORGA.V. To Control Building; Industry From Forest to Flnibed Building; Cor poration to Be Formed. The union labox men of Portland hive devised a plan whereby they may control a shore of the lumber manufacturing field from the stump to the finished build ing. A company composed of the prom inent union men of the city will soon be incorporated to carry on thla -work and an option has been secured on 1S00 acres of timber land on the Upper Clackamas River. Sere a largo plant will be erected, near the mouth of the Clackamas, and the finished product will "oe shipped to Portland to be used by union men alone. The company will be incorporated, the shares being held by either the members of the unions as Individuals or by the separate unions. The stock will be di vided into 5000 shares of $10 each. This plan was started by the Carpen ters' Union, and has been under consid eration for some time. The name adopt ed by the concern will be the Mechanics' Investment and Improvement Company. MANSFIELD WANT NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT. MOHTAVIUA .MONTECELLO J L BASE LINE CHURCH NANSFJELD SECTION chan or HAU1- -r It will be oon Incorporated and proceed to business. Any laboring -man will be allowed to purchase stock In the new con cern, and union mechanics are especially invited to become shareholders. The novel scheme was suggested at a meet ing of the Carpenters Union two weeks ago, and the plan appeared so excellent a remedy for future strikes and troubles between capital and labor so far as the lumber Industry is concerned that the suggestion was Immediately acted upon. As the option upon the property was secured only in the past day or two, the future incorporators of the company are unwilling to give Its exact location. The timber is mostly fir with some spruce. and Its position makes it extremely val uable. A sawmill and planing plant will be Installed, and the finished product will be shipped directly to Portland. Here It will be handled by union carpenters, so that the entire work from the tree to the house will be carried on by union labor. The union men are naturally reticent In regard to the new enterprise. Charles Mlckley, ex-presldent of the local Feder ated Trades Council, smiled a secretive smile when the subject was jnentloned to him. "I can't say very much about It," said he. "Yes, the land Is In Oregon, and not far from the city. Union sawmill? Well, I can't say much about that." W. H. Blaney was somewhat more com municative. "The land upon which we have an option is on the Clackamas, and is about 1800 acres in all," said he. "The Idea is to carry on the whole Industry, in cluding logging, by union labor. How much of the finished lumber will be han dled by union men I can't say. It 'is a mighty fine proposition, and I'll take 500 shares. Only 20 allowed to each member? Well, I guess you can get the 500 If you want them." In order that the new concern may never be controlled by any one person. It will be stipulated that not more than 20 shares may be held by one man. Apparently Mr. Blaney thinks that this is not a very strict rule. During the planlng-mlll strike last year the union men of the city were agitating the establishment of a mill owned and op erated by the unions of the Industry or by the Federated Trades. The construction at the crucial period of a mill entirely fa vorable to organized labor temporarily put an end to this project. Whether the non action of the master builders In regard to the new scale of wages asked by the carpenters has anything to do with the establishment of a union plant to co-operate In the construction of buildings Is a factor In the situation Is a question. It does not seem probable that the carpenters would take an aggressive step that would be certain to offend the builders, especially as they have declared that no trouble of any kind Is expected concerning the demand for higher wages. ANOTHER CANDIDATE APPEARS. Office of State Labor Commlfinloner Will Be in Demand. The railroad men of Oregon are working earnestly for the appointment of David Roberts, of Roseburg, as state labor com missioner. Roberts' position as one of the founders of the United Brotherhood of Railway Employes gives him a ,very strong following among members of the organization as well as the allied unions of the profession. Several pf the trades unions which did not favor the selection of G. Y. Harry for the office, are like wise pulling wires for the Roseburg man. If the bill providing for the establishment of the Bureau of labor Statistics Is passed by the Legislature, there will undoubtedly be some lively scrambling for the office. G. Y. Harry, the state organizer of the American Federation of Labor, - was recommended for the position by a ma jority of the unions in the Federation In the state. A light vote was polled at the time, however, and It now appears that several unions In the organization with which Mr. Harry Is connected re fused to vote for him and are, on the con trary, working In favor of Roberts. The rival labor organizations are naturally op posed to a man from the American Feder ation occupying the position, and are therefore willing to support another can didate who shows any probablltly of be ing influential enough to secure the place. WThen an agitation was started two years ago to create the Labor Bureau, David Roberts was widely spoken of as a desirable man. The bureau was not es tablished at that time, but the agitation was begun afresh with the present session. The Federation leaders declare, that It Is their wish to keep the office of state labor commissioner free from political Influence. The railroad men do not emphasize this point. David Roberts is a Republican, while Mr. Harry says he will work for the Interest of labor and not of any party. AGAINST CHINESE COOKS. Cooks and "Walters' Alliance Declnre Wnr On Tliem. The Cooks and Walters' Alliance, backed by the Federated Trades Council, Is about to declare war upon the Chinese cooks em ployed In many restaurants and hotls. The central organization has promised them their support and the eating-houses employing Celestial cooks may expect to lose union patronage. How far the culi nary war is to be carried has not yet been decided, but the labor men say that It necessary the most aggressive measures will be taken to drive the almond-eyed chefs from their ranges. At the meeting of the Federated Trades Council last evening a committee from the alliance reported that an amalgamation of the Cooks and Waiters' Unions had been secured and asked the council to stand by them In a crusade against the Chinese cooks. They were told to go ahead, with the entire support of the council. For the first time In the history of the council a woman was present at a meet- RUSSEL.VILLE 5CHOOU m LNE K0AD Ing. The Garment Workers' Union sent a delegation and among them was a woman member. The various smoking things of the councllmen were at once extinguished and the honored person placed at the right hand of the president. It was announced that tho great union smoker, at which every union man in the city Is expected to be present, will be held In tho A. O. U. W. -Hall" on Feb ruary 20. A resolution was passed declaring that W. D. Fenton was an enemy of organized labor and that union men should work against his securing votes as United States Senator. The council again went on record as favoring the election of the United States Senators by the direct vote of tho people. The following resolution was also unani mously adopted. Whereas, The Portland Federated Trades Council, believing that monopolies of all kinds are detrimental to the best Interests of labor and to wage-earners of the country at large, and should be restrained by proper and Just legislation; and. Whereas, We believe that the Associated Pi ess. under the laws of the country,- should be classified as a common carrier, but that as conducted as at present it is In all sense a mo nopoly, ao It alms to control the entire news service of the country, and refuses to sell its commodity to only a favored few. to .not only the disadvantage of the reading public, but to the detriment of our brother unionists, the sereotypers. the pressmen, the printers, the etchers and all the various forms of labor in corporated in the Printing Trades Council, In asmuch as competition Is restricted and labor Is the greatest sufferer. Four-fifths of the ex pense of operating a unionized newspaper Is for well-paid labor, and a curtailing of the number of newspapers published only tends to destroy a valuable market for the skill of our fellow wage-earners thereby. It Is hereby Resolved, That we, the Portland Federated Trades Council, earnestly and respectfully urge our Senators and Representatives In the Legis lature to work and vote for the passage of Sen ate bill No. 115, known as tho Pierce bill, de claring the Associated Press and Its kindred organizations common carriers, and providing penalties for discriminations. FAMINE OF NIAGARA POWER Chapter of Accident Pnrnlyxes In duMtry Near the FnllH. NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y., Jan. 30. At 6:30 o'clock tonight the temporary" repairs at the Niagara Falls Power & Conduit Company's plant were completed, and the electric famine along the Niagara frontier, due to the early morning fire, which was started by a flash of Hghtn.ng, was prac tically at an end. Power was sent out from the plant an hour before that time, but it was not permanent, owing to a short circuit which occurred In the power-house shortly thereafter, and which seriously burned five men, one of whom may die. The short circuit and the injury' of the men came as a climax to disconcerting in cidents which had marked the day. Never before, since the establishment of Niagara Falls power, has there been a de lay of such magnitude. It was felt by thousand? of people In Buffalo. Niagara Falls, Lockport and the Tonawandas and Intermediate points. Hundreds of facto ries were shut down for the day, and the street-car service was demoralized. Thou sands of workmen employed in the facto ries along the river were temporarily out of employment. The officials of the power company state, however, that the serious ness of the situation was not so great as was at first thought possible. As a matter of fact, the electric famine lasted 19 hours. The worst of it Is ove tonight. Charles R. Huntley, vice-president of the company, sajd tonight that by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the necessary additional power would be obtainable. Lincoln Wan a ChurchKocr. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 30. The dia mond celebration commemorating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Presbyterian Church in this city was held today. George M. Black, for many years treasurer of the First Church, told of the connection of Abraham Lincoln with the church and of his promptness In paying the quarterly pew rent. Attention wa3 called to the assertion made by Herndon, In his life of Lincoln, that he seldom at tended church and many of tlrt: older members bore testimony that Lincoln's attendance was regular, averaging three Sundays out of four. FOR SCOTLAND'S POET CLAN MACLE.VY CELEBRATES HIS 144TH BIRTHDAY. Scottish Costumes, Songs ami Dsnces and An Address on the Be loved "Bobbie" Burns. In memory of Robert Burns, the bonnle poet of Scotland, the Clan Macleay gave an anniversary concert and dance last evening In Arion Hall. Plaids and tar tans were conspicuously worn by the ardent Scots, and all the events of the programme conformed to the spirit of the day. Yesterday was the 141th anniversary of tho birth of Scotland's most famous poet, and the Clan Macleay and all their friends turned out to do honor to his memory. The spacious hall was crowded with enthusiastic Scotchmen. The flags of the mother country, as well as that of their adopted land, hung from the walls ana were frequently referred to by the speakers. George M. Fraser. the chief of the olan sat in the center of the stage, while about him were seated Mayor Williams, Judge Alfred F. Sears, Jr., Judge Cameron, George Taylor. Jr.. Judire C. B. Rfllllnpcr and G. S. Shepherd.' Chief Fraser made tne introductory remarks, and then Gavin Spence, clad in full Highland dress, ap peared and gave a true Scotch song, "inerc was a Lad." aceomnanipii hv Flora MacDonald on the piano. "Scots Who Ha' With Wallace Bled" was thp. Tesponse to the encore. Miss Flora Mac Donald. attired in a flowimr nlaid and a dainty Scotch cap, gave a Highland fling that needed only the heather to make It realistic. Mrs. Walter Reed, the soloist of tht evening, sang another Scotch song, en titled "Land o' the Leal," accompanied by Miss Laonora Fisher. In resnnnsn to the applause. Mrs. Reed sang "Rosalie," one of the few departures from Scotch songs during the evening. Gavin Spence, sun amrea in gorgeous plaid, followed with a recitation full of true Scotch twang. The lassie of tho nerfnrmanco Mis Flora MacDonald, gave a pretty little song, called "O a the Airts " which wn more easily understood than Its title would indicate. The address of the eveninr was deliv ered by J. P. Kavanauch. who snoke upon "Robert Burns." After the course of the poet's earlier life and the inspira tion which led to some nortions which he extensively quoted, Mr. Kavanaugh said: Burns was a faithful student of men and manners an oracle of human nature. He knew the dignity of labor. He would never bend the supple knee to title or to wealth. His hard condition and the sight of ignorant and Insolent rank above him may have led him betimes to extravagant Utterance, but he has left un manv a happy phrase the clear voice of humanity. lam o bnanter is his greatest poem. For originality and variety, for a combi nation of the terrible and the ludicrous, this poem has never been excelled." In closing his address. Mr. Kavanauch said: 'Burns made the Scotch tonirue im mortal. He has preserved to aces the idiom in which his measures aro en shrined. Emerson said that he took the lowland Scotch and made it the Dnrln dialect of fame. It is the enly example of a language made famous by a single man. The remainder of the nroirranimc tens another solo by Mrs. Walter Reed, "Doon the Burn. Davie:" a duet by a Gavin Spence and Flora MacDonald, "When Ye Gang Awa', Jamie": Ave solos by Mr. Snenee. and a Scotch dance, as well ns another song, "Why I Left My Home," by Miss MacDonald. The committee which has had charge of the Burns anniversary celebration was composed of: George S. Shepherd, chair man: Kenneth Havlland. secretnrv: James Carswell, W. M. Loughton, A. W. Hutcheson, Edward shearer and P. S. H. Stevenson. DISLOYAL TO PARTY. Socialist Leaders Removed for At tempting: Fusion Scheme. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 30.
