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-

MAP SHOWING PROPOSED BOUNDARY LINES.
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. Stevens, of Mansfield, who Is also on the committee to form a new school district, Is a
member of the building committee.

preliminary address which an ex-pollce-man

"You are very frank about it, re

a smile.
"I have told you exactly how I stood.

reply.
The Mayor and the applicant looked at

Where are your recommendations i in
quired the Mayor In surprise.
"I did not bring any with me, but I can

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

to have been my friends."
"I wasn't," was the calm rejoinder.
"Well, then, I must compliment you up

advise you to present your petition for a

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

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

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.

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-

It was announced that tho great union

city Is expected to be present, will be

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.

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

Spence and Flora MacDonald, "When Ye
Gang Awa', Jamie": Ave solos by Mr.

highest honors at the Pan-American. 1901;
the old reliable STECK. the ever-popular

sible to furnish our pianos at prices lower
than others charge for the cheap kind.
