i 12 THE MOKNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1903.' NEXT RELIEF STEP J. N. Davis Will Advise the Portland Committee. MORE THAN $20,000 ON HAND Foreman of Portland "Workmen Will Return Today to Confer as to the Final Dispoaition of the Fund. Tne return of J. X. Davis, In charge of the Portland workmen at Heppner. ex pected today, will give the Portland relief committee an Idea of the work that must be done at Heppner. Mr Davis has been specially instructed to Investigate condi tions along Willow Creek, and will be able to explain what the relief commit tees are expected to accomplish for the settlers. There Is now more than $20,000 on hand, which the local committee will disburse at Heppner and In adjoining districts. A part of this has already been spent, some in providing provisions, plothing and bed ding required during the early hours of the town's loss, and a portion In keeping a big force of workmen busy in clearing away the debris that was washed down by tho flood Various estimates have been placed upon the amount the Portland committee has sent or guaranteed. The fact that the bills for services rendered at Heppner have not been returned makes the total uncertain, but It will probably not amount to more than $11,000. The committee can now see that at least J25.O0O will be tend ered It to relieve the situation, and tho disbursement of the amounts not already guaranteed is a perplexing problem for the local workers. Despite the fact that numerous Inquir ies have been directed toward ascertaining the needs of the Heppner people In the permanent rebuilding or restoration work, the answers have been unsatisfactory and vague. It Is realized by the local commit tee that so long as any semblance of chaos prevails the Heppner committee will not bo able to return a definite state ment of the requirements of the people of that community. It Is just possible that Mr. Davis will have been able to gather a summary of losses and needs that will aid the committee. Judging from the sentiments of commit teemen and the present showing from Heppner, an effort will be made by the local organization to close up Its accounts soon. The money on hand Is very apt to be turned over to the Heppner committee or a delegation sent from this city to dls burse as the future may require. The Heppner relief committee will probably soon relegate itself to the subordinate position of exercising general supervision over future benefits. The entertainment to be given by the American-born Chi nese, a boxing exhibition and the sham battle to be held on July 4 are the prln clpal events for the future. The proposal for a baseball game on Sunday has been received and subscriptions continue to pour In. But apparently there is no longer any necessity for an organized enort on behalf of Heppner, and the committee will close up Its affairs as soon as possible. The report to be made by Mr. Davis might upset this calculation, but It Is not prob able this will be done. The relief committee yesterday had re ceived a total of $20,200.42. Of this amount about $40 Is represented by unpaid sub scriptions. The Evening Telegram, which has maintained a subscription list from the beginning, turned over $116.30 late yes terday afternoon, which Is Included In the total named. In addition, $100 was paid in by Waterhouse & Lester through the Journal, and the citizens of Rainier con tributed $70. The employes of Oceanic dock added $25, the employes of the North ern Pacific Lumber Company $40. and Eu reka Council. No. 204, Knights and Ladles of Security, gave $25 each to Heppner and Lexington. The Fourth of July auditing committee held a meeting yesterday morning and found that $2003 was left after paying the bills that were presented. The claim for the fireworks display has not yet been adjusted, and thought a dispatch was sent countermanding the committee s or der for the proposed display. It may be the committee will have a small freight bill to satisfy on this account. Tho Fourth of July committee has sent collectors out to bring In that portion of the fund that is yet uncollected. It is altogether probable that not less than $2G00 or $2500 will be turned over to the suf ferers from this account. Since the ac counts of the tickets sold for the theat rical benefit Tuesday have not been ad lusted, the committee feels that the estl mate of $25,000 donated by Portland is close to the total that will be realized The arrangements for the entertainment to be riven In the Y. M. C. A. auditorium by the American-born Chinese are going forward. Yesterday tickets were piacea on sale at the following places: Rich's cigar stores. J. IC Gill & Co., Bartlett & Palmer. Y. M. C.

"Church vs. Tempter" Imperial Dramatic Club BIG SHAM BATTLE PLANNED. Third Regiment to Unite WitU Regularx Prom Vancouver. For the benefit of the Heppner flood sufferers a big sham battle is to be given on the Fourth of July on the Irvington race track The Third Regiment of the Oregon National Guard, assisted by reg ular soldiers from Vancouver Barracks, are to present the biggest and noisiest battle ever heard in the state. Definite plans for the benefit battle were made last evening at a meeting of repre sentatlves of the citizens' Fourth of July committee and the officers of the Third Begiment In the rooms of the Commercial Club. Now that the fund previously raised for a "usual celebration of Inde pendence day has gone to the relief of the Heppner people, the committee will support the benefit sham battle asr par tially taking the place of the expected celebration Every cent of the proceeds Is to go to Heppner. The track has been donated without cost, the soldiers will go through the evolutions without charging the committee for their time, and the State of Oregon will supply the powder which Is to make all the noise necessary for a proper celebration of the dav The Riverside Driving Club had previ ously engaged the track for the day, but when the horsemen learned of the Inten Hon of the soldiers, they resigned all rlehts to the grounds. H. H.fHelman, who has charge of. the track, donated Its use for the day, and nothing remains but to make a few more plans and o draw a crowd which will . pack the capacious grandstands. General O. Summers was appointed chairman of the battle committee last evening; Ralph W. Hoyt, treasurer, and Philip S. Bates, secretary. Other repre sentatives of the citizens committee pres ent at tho meeting were: A. B. Steln bacb, S. A. Arata and Major Rees. Ma jor von Egloffstein, Major McDonell. Captains Baker. Scott and Knapp repre sented the Third Regiment. Before General Frederick Funston left for the East p. short time ago, he learned of the plans of the volunteers and as sured them that the soldiers ot the Nine teenth Infantry, stationed at Vancouver, could be called upon to supply a part ot the entertainment. Taking advantage of this offer, the commanding officer at the Barracks will be asked to furnish a field battery, two companies of Infantry and a band. The regiment has recently returned from the Philippines, and the band num bers among Its members ten native Fili pinos. The entire Third Reriment of the Ore gon National Guard will take part in the' sham battle, and also Light Battery A, of the National Guard. The plans which the promoters of the battle have In mind In clude a dress parade, a review and the fancy drill called an escort to the colors. Ti-e regulars may present other evolu tions, such as flying gun drills. To the ladles of the Spanish-American "War Veterans has been granted the con cessions for the day. Whatever money Is made In this way will also be turned into the relief fund. Excursion trains from adjoining towns will be run into the city on the Fourth, and the battle committee looks for a large attendance at the benefit battle. The tick ets are to be disposed of by a general sale In stores and offices, as well as personal solicitation by members of the regiment. The officers of the regiment and tho Fourth of July committee have combined to form the following subcommittees to push the benefit sham battle: Music Captain Knapp, S. A. Arata, Major Rees.

Prince George of Bavaria, grandson of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, has been see ing the United States, and has sailed for home. Under the title of "Count of Wurtemburg," he successfully hid his identity here until a few hours before sailing. "We have heard much In Europe of your American invasion," he said, "but I had not realized what tremendous resources there are in this country. It Is mar velous, especially the energy one sees ev erywhere. Bavaria, .1 believe, supplies the United States with more musicians than commercial products, but we hope In time to remedy that."

Father of Child Snen Drake C. O'Reilly for ?50O0. The trial of the $5000 damage suit of Frederick D. Macdonald. father of 4-year- old Maurice Macdonald, who was killed by rolling piles on March 19. 1903, against Drake C O'Reilly, was commenced yester day before Judge Frazer and a jury. The fatal accident occurred at the corner of Tenth and Irving streets, where O'Reilly is engaged In building a ware house. "Macdonald sues to recover as ad ministrator of the child's estate. The piles which were used In the founda tion were placed on Irving street. Ac cording to testimony offered, they were lodged against a billboard which served as a prop. This was afterwards removed, leaving no support for the piles. Maurice, the little boy, was playing on the piles, when several of them rolled over on top of him and crushed him to death. As a proposition of law, Henry E. Mc Ginn, plaintiffs attorney, argued and read authorities showing that plies of new lumber attract "children to play, and per sons In control of the lumper are bound to pile It 'safely to prevent accidents. Carelessly piling, lumber In a public street or using the street as a lumber yard Is a public nuisance. Mr. McGinn read from a decision In which It was held by the court that even where persons have ob tained permission from the city authori ties to place lumber In a street to be used In building purposes they are under obligation to exercise reasonable care, so that Injuries shall not result. It must be piled so as not to roll over on a child by the child's mere weight In playing upon It- It Is the duty of the person to pro tect young children playing there, and not have the lumber fall upon them or roll upon them. It must be anticipated that children will be attracted there. The attorney also argued other legal ques tions Involved In the case. The general defense Is that the child's parents had been warned of the danger Imminent In allowing him to play on the plies, and that defendant had taken all necessary precaution to keep the boy away. They also allege that at the time of the accident several larger boys were playing on the piles, and that they are the ones who started them rolling. C. E. S. Wood and R. L. GUsan ap peared as counsel for the defense. The trial will be concluded today. IN JURED IN A "WRECK. Nannie M. Stoner Snen Southern Pa cific for $25,000 Damasren. Suit to recover'$23,000 damages was com menced In the State Circuit Court yes terday by Nannie M. Stoner against the Southern Pacific Company. On July 6, 190L Mrs. Stoner boarded a train at Ash land on her way to San Francisco, and at a point called Black Butte the train collided with another train, northbound. Mrs. Stoner complains that she was vio lently thrown from her seat In the car by the shock caused by the meeting of the two trains on the same track, and sustained a fracture of the frontal bone of the head and a bad scalp wound. She alleges that several pieces of bone had to be removed from her skull, and that her nervous system Is shattered. The cost of medical attendance, she says, was $470. Her attorneys are Dolph, Mallory, Simon and Gearin. Court Notes. The Inventory and appraisement of the estate of Francis M. Warren, deceased, was filed In the County Court yesterday. showing property valued at $3S.la3. Ed Wilson, a young man, was tried and acquitted In Judge Sears' court on a charge of adultery yesterday.

Wilson yesterday filed suit In the State Circuit Court, through his at torney, Ogelsby Young, to recover $73 damages on account of the loss of a Jer sey cow. Wilson alleges that on May 13 last near Ivanhoe Addition, the cow was struck by a car and thrown 0 feet and killed. THE MAGNETIC POLE. Intercntinp; Data as to Dip of Mag netic Needle. PORTLAND. June 19. (To the Editor.) In your issue of June IS there is In serted a report of the Associated Press from Christlania, Norway, upon which a small editorial appears June 19, in refer ence to the sailing of Captain Ammund sen In the Gjoa to the North magnetic pole. In both articles considerable error is made. The new expedition Is purely In the In terest of magnetic science, and the area to be visited has been previously ex plored. The route will be the west coast of Greenland not the east coast and will be through Davis Straits. Baffin Bay and Lancaster Sound. vhich has been over and over again traversed by all the Franklin searching expeditions. The ob jective point seems to be the relocation of the magnetic pole which was first "placed" by Sir James Ross in 1S29 on the Boothia Peninsula, the most northern extreme of the continent of America. In 1S59 it was "replaced" by Admiral Mc Cllntock the expedition In which . the writer participated several miles to the wes'tward of Ross position. Had our own lamented Schwatka been able to car ry -with him the propef Instruments in 1S79, he would have found the new position on the west coast of King William Land, and the outgoing expedition of Ammund sen will likely locate the present site of the magnetic ' pole about where Sir John Franklin's body was dropped through the Ice Into his sailor's grave. At no time did Sir John Franklin seek the North Pole all his researches were with the view of finding a "Northwest passage." The magnetic pole moving westward for about 100 years Is some 1200 miles south of the geographical pole of the earth. The ship which reaches the neighborhood of the magnetic pole from FIRST AMONG No one food product obtainable contains within itself all the essentials of health ex cept milk nature's own builder of healthy tissue and bone.

It may Interest your readers to know the manner In which the dip of magnetic needle will be observed. by the scientific staff of the Gjoa. A thin slender bar of steel 'is magnetized and suspended on Its center in a graduated circle, the piv ots being sharp-pointed. The bar is then vibrated. When motion ceases, the north and south points are read on the circle. This Is repeated four times, then the east face of the needle Is changed to west and a similar set of observations are re corded. After these 16 readings the needle is removed from the circle and the bar Is demagnetized, thus making the north end south and vice versa. The readings are then repeated, thus requring 32 rec ords to complete one absolute observa tion. The Imperfections of construction are thus eliminated as far as possible. it requires quite a number of these abso lute observations to be made before a satisfactory result cm be established. On our expedition, such tests as are decrlbed above were made at a temperature of from 30 to 40 degrees below zero. The patient endurance of the operator can be scarcely Imagined. The scientific, good results to be ob tained from the re-locatlon of the mag netic pole co-related as they must bo with deverse meteorological observations will amply repay the hardships coincl- dently suffered In this research. These scientific data far outweigh the Tesults that would follow the mere physical find ing of the North Pole Itself. Tho abso lute location of the south magnetic pole. as well as the accompanying geographical exploration. Is. at present occupying the attention of several expeditions. D. WALKER, PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSE. Fourteen Thousand Pupils Turned Loose for Vacation. Thirty of Portland's public schools closed their doors yesterday.
