o 10 THE MORNIKG OKEGOTSIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST lb, IJHKs: NDORSE THE FAIR Oregon's Request of Trans Mississippi Congress, ASK $1,000,000 FROM NATION Oregon Delegates Go to Seattle De termined to Win Snpport of En tire West Visitors Invited to Portland on Journey Home. The Trans-Mississippi Commercial Con gress will be asked to pass a resolution indorsing a project for an appropriation of 41.COO.000 by CongTess to aid the Lewis and Clark Fair. In addition, an appro priation -of $250,000 for the Interest of the memorial building to Lewis and Clark and n $10,000 appropriation to enable the Chemawa Indians to make a good display at the Exposition will be urged. That the Congress will act favorably upon this proposal Is believed by officials of the Lewis and Clark .Exposition and by the delegates who are to attend the ses sions. All of those delegates who have passed through Portland to Seattle have expressed a willingness to co-operate heartily with the Oregon delegation and it is certain that all the members from the Northwest will do so. The interests of the Fair are to be in trusted to the delegation from Portland. A. H. Devers, a member of the board of directors of the Lewis and Clark Fair and a delegate from the Chamber of Com merce, is chairman of the Oregon delega tion. He is to have direct charge of all matters affecting the interests of the Ex position. Considerable weight will be added to the arguments advanced by the Oregon dele gation by the speech to be made by John Barrett. Mr. Barrett is to attend the Commercial Congress and -will speak be fore the delegates. "While there, it is expected he will urge favorahle action on the Lewis and Clark project- Mr. Barrett has frequently pledged hlmseJf to aid the enterprise in every way, and only recently secured a promise from President Roose velt that the Lewis and Clark appropria tion would be urged in the President's message. It is only natural that the movement before the Commercial Con gress will be aided by Mr. Barrett. If the plans of the local committees are carried out. the resolutions of the Trans Mississippi Congress will be placed before Congress when it convenes in the Fall. Copies of the resolutions are to be placed on the desk of every member of Congress, and It is expected that in other ways the Interests of the movement will be fur thered. Xante of OreKon Delegates. The agitation in favor of the Lewis and Clark appropriation will go a long -way toward thoroughly advertising the Expo sition and its scope to the people of the "West. The Congress will be attended by at least 1000 delegates. These are the most prominent men in the "West and they will carry home with them a better un derstanding of the Lewis and Clark Fair, possibly many of them learning of its ob jects for the first time. Under the cir cumstances the following Oregon delega tion exoects to be extremely busy: Appointed by Governor Chamberlain J. Thorburn Ross. C. K. Henry of Port land; Charles W. Galloway, of McMlnn ville: C. W. Talmage. of Tillamook; "W. J. Wimer. of "Waldo; G. G. "Warner, of Bohemia: George B. Small, of Baker City; J. W. Cuslck, of Albany; "W. H. Holmes, of Salem; J. H.

By the Manufacturers' Association FlJtcher Linn, manager of the Oregon Furniture Manufacturing Company".- Max Shillock. secretary of the Board of Trade, has been made secretary of the Oregon delegation. Headquarters have been obtained by the delegates at the Se attle Hotel. The party left last night by the Northern Pacific and will arrive in Seattle early this morning In time for the first session, which will be called at Leschl pavilion, at 9 A. M. Invite Them All to Portland. The Portland delegates will make a con certed effort to induce the visitors to Se attle to return to their homes by way of Portland. This effort Is not only to be made on the ground that it will enable them to see Portland and learn more of the city's resources and advantages, but also from the fact that they will be en abled to visit the site of the Lewis and Clark Fair and the interests of that en terprise can be promoted. A large amount of advertising matter has been taken to Seattle by the Oregon delegates and will be distributed among those who are attending the Commercial Congress. This literature is descriptive cf all sections of the state. Delegates on the way to Seattle were not as numerous In Portland yesterday as they have been during the previous few days. The early opening of the congress has drawn most of the delegates to Se attle In time to hold state meetings prior to the day the congress will open. The Vtah delegation, which spent nearly two days looking over Portland, proceeded to Seattle yesterday, and those stray dele gates who passed through the city did not spend much time in the city. BRING LETTER-CARRIFRS. Portland Delegates Are "WorUins o Catch National Convention. Portland letter-carriers are making a determined effort to bring the next annual meeting of the National Letter-Carriers Association to Portland. Correspondence with some of the strongest delegations to be present at the Syracuse, X. Y.. meet ing between August SI and September 5 has indicated that Portland will have the support of many of the best-known work ers ir the organisation. Mrs Edyth To rler "Weath erred made a campaign on be haif of this convention during her East ern trip and offers of support have come from letter-carriers whom she met. Frank Stewart and F. R. Bingley have been elected to represent the Portland letter-furriers and. if possible, it Is planned to send two additional delegates. In order that the movement may receive proper ounport. the organization will ask local business men for aid. The Lewis and Clark committee on press and publicity has provided a large amount of literature advertising Portland, the Northwest and tKc exposition, wMch will be distributed during the sessions. In addition, the com xnlttee has made It po as Hale to open and I keep established headquarters -where work J on behalf or Portland may be carried on. At the Syracuse meeting a parade to be beld on the first day Is planned In -which EO09 persona -will take part. In addition toM this big crowd oz letter-carriers, the fam ilies of many delegates -will be present. President Hoosevelt Is to attend and de liver an address. It is estimated that full' 2000 persons would be brought to Portland In the event the meeting could be secured for this city. The advertising that the fair would re ceive Is illustrated by workers In the movement from the fact that the letter carriers meet every person who receives -mall. They, it is claimed, are the great est advertisers that could be brought to the city and a determined effort is to be made to secure the convention. FLED FROM HOME TO DIE L- Ji. Small, of Owvrego, in. Search, or His Wife. I With the threat of suicide on her Hps, Mrs. Mary A. Small, of Oswego, left her home last Thursday afternoon, and has not yet returned. She was seen by two friends, to whom she said that never again would she enter the house as long as her eldest daughter. Lona, was there. After a petty quarrel with her daugh ter of 16 years, Mrs. Small divided the family purse and, taking an extra dress, left on the train for Portland. She was accompanied by Mrs. J. R. Heater, who lives at 186 Jefferson street- Mrs. Small did not tell Mrs. Heater of her intention until she left her In the city. The last person to see Mrs. Small -was the wife of Dr. F. L. Talcott. To both women she said that it was her Intention to take her life by drowning. L B. Small, the husband of the missing woman, has spent the Interval since her disappearance in visiting every person with -whom she was acquainted. He re turned last evening from Seaside, where a faipt and doubtful trace of the -woman was found. He reported the disappear ance to the police, and today the chiefs in all the Northwest cities -will be noti fied. He has searched Marlon County, where both were known. Mrs. Small has been subject to spells of temporary mental aberration for many years, and though she has often left hone for a time, yet in this case she lias adopted new tactics. During the previous attacks her family always knew where she was and waited patiently for her mind to change, when she would return home. Never hefore has she threatened suicide. Mrs. Healer, who 13 an intimate friend of the missing woman, visited her last Thursday afternoon. She found her weeping over two letters, which she said told her that valuable property had been lost to her through the action of rela tives. Mrs. Heater came to town with the distressed woman, but left her at the Heater residence. Then Mrs. Small went to the home of Dr. Talcott. 'Tm going to kill myself; I'll never go Into that house again as long as that girl is there. I wouldn't tell my husband before I left that I was going to do this, so I left without saying anything to him about It." This was what Mrs. Small told the doctor's wife. As soon as Mrs. Small left her, Mrs. Heater went back to Oswego and told the waiting husband the terrible threat which his wife had made to her. Believing that she might possibly carry out her evident determination. Small made a hasty trip to the city and has been at home only six hours since that time. One of the brakemen on the Astoria train told Small that a woman of tha description of his runaway wife had gone from Seaside to Long Beach Sunday evening. As Small spent the night in Astoria and searched the Ilwaco steamer before she left, he does not place very much faith in this clew, which he has been unable to follow up. "When Mrs. Small left homo she had about $104 in her possession. "With this she could travel some distance if the notion possessed her to do so. One of her daughters has been under the care of the Boys' and Girls Aid So clety lor some time on account of asso elating with undesirable companions. This preyed upon the mind of the mother, and her husband believes that. attacked by mental obscurity, she left home for no other cause. He is in clined to believe that she is still in the city, and the fact that she was careful to provide herself with money dispels some of his fears of her committing sul clde. "My wife is 35 years old. Is of medium size and weighs about 150 pounds." said Mr. Small at the police station last evening. "When she left home she wore a black silk dress and carried with her a brown cashmere dress." READ AND KEEP COOL. Library a Pleasant Place, for. Both Purposes Useful for Study. A great many people find the cool cor ridors and reading rooms of the Library Inviting these days, and the librarians say that the bookshelves are used' more this Summer than at any previous vaca tion eeaoort. The circulation of fiction has fallen off considerably, now that so many people are away, but the library staff is gratl fiod to see that a great many Portland students aro making use of the reference room. It Is also proving a -convenience to non-residents, -who come in on an early train and go hack in the evening. A new and useful system of drawing attention to various departments in the library has been adopted and is proving quite a-success, I'ostea up in conspicuous olaccs in the book room are bulletins. headed: "Universities and Colleges in the TTnited States." "College Stories." "En glish Colleges and Universities." Beneath the headings arc lists of dooks and at tractive pictures of college life. Every day the children's room Is crowded, and Miss Hassler entertains her small guests in such delightful fashion that they do not realize that they are learning "out of school." On the mantel is a charming grouping of pictures of mountains, rivers and ocean beaches and an index to magazines tor young stprs. liss Marv J". Isom, of the Portland Library, has Just returned from month's absence from the city. "While she was away Miss Isom visited In Chi cago. Minneapolis and St. Paul, and also srif,nt some time in isconsin ana iucm gnn. She enjoyed her trip very much. but is glad to be in Oregon, as everybody is in the Summer. Yesterday utss Mary Haradon and Miss Bessie Cora Brown arrived home from the beach. The other members of the library staff who are still away on their vacations are auss .tapes, joiss .amiara, Miss Ida Irons, Miss Pratt and Miss Derickson.

A bureau is maintained at the capital during the sessions of Congress, the expenses be ing defrayed by members of the Commer cial Congress. This bureau supplies Con gressional committees with all the facts sought and makes a vigorous fight to secure the passage of such legislation as is approved by the Commercial Congress. Speakers familiar with various topics are held in readiness to go to Washington If necessary. The co-operation of this influential or ganization Is deemed by delegates to be of great assistance. The congress, as a matterKif fact, is responsible for the crea tion of the Department of Commerce and the appointment of a new member of the President's Cabinet. In the passage of this bill, care was taken to eliminate mention of mines and mining, for the creation of another new department to handle this, branch of Industry has been planned for several years. Of all the delegates passing through Portland on their way to beattle. those from the "Southwest are strongest in point of numbers and preparation for a vigor- ous ngm ior recognition. uKianoroa ana tne xewis and Clark Centennial.

Indian Territory, so far as reported, is unrepresented. Nor is Oklahoma prepared to take up the fight for Indian Territory, either to ask for a bill admitting the two territories as a single state or Krant- Ing statehood to Indian Territory. Okla- homa is prepared to make a determined cnort to secure inaorsement oi its right for statehood. New Mexico is also strongly represented and Is making a similar fight. Colorado will probably father the move ment for the creation of a bureau of mines and mining and the appointment of a new Cabinet officer to administer these affairs. The activity of Colorado mining men and the representatives of the Commercial Congress blocked a movement on foot at the time the De partment of Commerce was created to combine mines and mining under that head. It Is believed that Governor Pea body, of Colorado, will reach Seattle in time to take personal charge of the fight on behalf of the new bureau. W. H. Gaines, secretary and manager of the Maritime Association of Galveston, the strongest organization of Its kind in the country, is at the head of the dele gation from Texas which will work to secure the passage of resolutions Indors ing the appeal to be- made for further ap propriations to deepen the Buffalo bayou channel and win also ask that the Gov ernment aid In the construction of the permanent seawall now being constructed and planned to protect Galveston from a repetition of the horror which cost 8000 lives.

The Jetty work at the mouth of the Mississippi is held to be incomplete and an indorsement of a plan to continue the project Is to be sought. A few stray mem bers of the Louisiana delegation were In Portland yesterday. All of the delegations from states through which the Mississippi River traf fic of St. Louis pours, will unite in ask ing approval of a project for opening that stream to the navigation of larger steamers and Increasing the facilities for smaller boats. An open river as far north as St. Paul is being urged. Along the same line Is the request of northern del egates for aid In great lakes projects. 'It is expected that Governor John Brady, of Alaska, will be present to urge reforms in the' administration of laws In Alaska, .and improvement in the service accorded that district. Letters from Alaska indicate a strong delegation will be sent down to carry on the fight. Repre sentation in Congress for Alaska Is one of the requests Alaska citizens are mak ing, but it Is not altogether certain they will be united on this question. dluslion OF the irrigation Question An entire day is to be devoted to the ,,nj thrmifrh PnrtlnnH tn tha fnnirpoi i, . ,, lucre is a. ieeuu uiui me x rails-jussia- sl1 Congress and the National Irrigation Congress should be merged.

Arthur F. Francis, of Cripple 'Creek. Colo., secretary of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress, Is enthusiastically in favor of an indorsement of the Lewis and Clark Fair. He was In Portland last night on his way to Seattle, being accom panied by delegates from New Mexico, Nebraska. Texas, Colorado and other states. They proceet'ud to Seattle on'the 11:45 train and- will reach the convention city this morning. T have no doubt but that the Com mercial Congress will Indorse the plan for j an appropriation on behalf of the Lewis and Clark Fair," said Secretary Francis last night. "The Fair Is one in which all the Western States are deeply interested and It has a historical value that cannot be overlooked. "John Barrett, minister to Argentina, is on our programme for an address on the first day of the session. He Is to speak on the St. Louis Fair and I have no doubt but that he will bring up the subject of before we reach Seattle and ascertain their wishes. "The day devoted to a discussion of Ir rigation porjects Is certain to be produc tive of great good. George H. Maxwell, executive chairman of the National Ir rigation Congress, is to preside during that day. He wlll also make an address i and some of the best workers in that : movement will be heard. "George B. Cortelyou. Secretary of Com merce: James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern: Governor Brady, of Alaska, and John Barrett are among the prominent men who are to speak." There is some talk among the Kansas delegates who were In Portland yester- Cn.y of supporting Senator Long, of Medl cine Lodge, for president of the Commw. cial Congress during the coming year. Ap parently this.Is the only fight that Kansas will make. New Orleans, which was an unsuccessful competitor for this year's session, is In the field for the next meeting. Texas and Louisiana delegates make no secret of the fact that they are working together to that end. Though Arkansas delegates have not mentioned the fact. It Is appar ent from the way other delegations speak that considerable quiet work has been done on behalf of Hot Springs by Arkansas people. St Louis is mentioned by Missouri delegates, hut they are not encouraged very much by others. The tfelegates to the Commercial Congress are insisting that.no city should be chosen where en tertainment features, such as would be provided hy the Louisiana Purchase Ex position, would interfere with the work of delegates. Kansas City has gained some strength from this argument. ' BUSINESS ITEMS. If Baby Is CettlnK Teeth. Be rare and use that old sad well-tried remedy, Kra.

AT WORK ON THE ROCKPILE ALL SUFFER REMORSE REFORM EFFECTED OX PRISONERS BY THE ROCKPILE. First Day of Hard Labor Disgusts Them "With Crime and Free Board in County JalL "When I get out of this here, you'll see me study for the pulpit," declared Archie Ray, star prisoner of the County Jail, yesterday. Archie's announcement of good behavior came after he had put in eight long hours on the rockplle the eight longest hours of his life, so Archie asserted. But misery had company, and if Archie found life unpleasant breaking rock under a sweltering sun, there were some 15 other -prisoners who shared the conditions. It was their first day, and it was hard on them. Every hand, softened by the luxurious loafing of the past, was covered with large, painful blisters when night came. For the guards Insisted upon every man working. The scene of activity is near the River view Cemetery, against a huge cliff where the sun's rays are Intensified against the rocksr rendering the place a veritable bake-oven. "This rockplle Is a more powerful ser mon than any minister In the world could deliver In six months' hard talking," de clared an official who visited the scene during the day and watched the grudging manner in which the hapless ones swel tured and tolled. Some of these chaps that have been spending about two-thirds of their time in Jail will find after a few weeks of this, sort of business that It doesn't really pay to stray from the nar row path, and they'll either reform or J wlll leave Portland. It's slightly dinerent from lying around In cells, telling funny stories and paying pranks on cellmates. "Note the expression on the face of that chap there with tan hair and boyish face' continued the speaker. "That's what I call an expression of real repentance. That expression speaks volumes for the future pt that boy. Notice the mingled disgust, distraction and repentance. That disgust Is for himself, the distraction at his predicament, and the repentance will undoubtedly have greater lasting quali ties than any series of sermons or ethical discourses. I tell you, when it comes to dealing with those who have wandered too far from the fold, a sledge and a nlle of rocks has got all the preachers in. the world beaten a mile." At this Juncture the voice of Archie rose above the monotonous slugging of the hammers. "If I saw a 'twenty' layln' In me nmi, au w uie aura. a around tne DIOCK to una wno lost tne coin." he asserted, breaking forth Into the melodious refrain, "O, I am Tired." Of the 16 members of the County chain gang, nearly all are short term men, serving from one to eight months for of fenses ranging from drunkenness and dlsordely conduct to larceny. Possibly one-third are in for petty thievery. Two or three have been making the jails their homes, committing small offenses each time they are released In order to be relieved of the responsibility of earning a living. They are found lying about In Idleness much more to their fancy. The chain-gang is intended to eliminate this sort of sentiment, although Its purpose is by no means altogether a moral one, as the finely-broken rock which Is the product of the rockplle is very necessary for street grading. And three guards. Ed Rankin. BIdwell and Fred Mathews, have instructions to see to it that the daily output is quite as large as if the men were working under salary. Here is a list of the hammer-wlelders and the offenses for which they are doing penance: Hugh O'Brien, six months, larceny from the person: Thomas Stevens, 90 days, de facing building; Archie Ray, 213 days, having morphine In possession; Harry Jones, 30 days, larceny: John Williams (colored), 90 days, having morphine In possession: D. McCoy. ISO days. Indecent exposure; Thomas Minor. 60 days, lar ceny; W. M. Morgan, 60 days, obtaining money under false pretense: W. g A. Toung, 50 days, assault and battery; G. Fry, 90 days, having opium In posses sion; E. J. Rosier, eight months, embez zlement: 'Charles Palmer, one year, as sault to kill and rob; Robert Greenwald. six months, larceny from a store; John McCarthy, 120 days, larceny: Harry Ash ton, one year, receiving stolen goods; R. C Do well. 270 days, larceny. City .Prisoners Gradlnjc Road. The city prisoners have been granted a respite from the rockplle and have been assigned to duty in more desirable quar ters. For some weeks they will work at grading the road approaching the Expo sition grounds from Twentieth street. The work is being done under the direct super vision of the City Engineer. To Find Survivors of Migration. George H. Hlmes, secretary of the Oregon Historical Society, left yesterday for Washington to secure data on the emigration of half a century ago Into the Puget Sound country. He will seek par ticularly to learn the names of all the 123 persons who were with the expedition. Mr. Hlmes himself was on the memorable trip, being one of the earliest settlers of what in the early days was called North ern Orejjon. and he is accordingly fitted for the Task he has now undertaken. Of those who made the Journey but 40 are alive today, and all are those who were in their youth at the time, none of the leaders of the expedition having survived the march of time. Mr. Hlmes' first stop will be at- Yelm, Wash,, where Mrs. James Longmlre, one of the survivors, resides. IT GROWS ON DRY LAND Satisfactory Tests of Alfalfa on Arid Oregon Soil. Colonel R. C. Judson, industrial agent of the O. R. & N., gets highly satisfactory reports from his "dry land alfalfa." Last -Spring Colonel Judson sent out a large number of packets containing a new spe cies of alfalfa seed to livestock growers and farmers on the line of the O. R. & N. "nen the alfalfa grows to be six Inches higu," he wrote, "let me know, and I'll tell you what to do next." In all. S7 small plats of ground were sown with the seed. Thirty-seven of the recipients of the seed have responded, and in each case the alfalfa has thrived luxuriantly. Colonel Judson is confident that the 50 other sow ings have done likewise, provided his di rections were observed. "I think we are justified In concluding." he remarked last night, "that we have a species of alfalfa that will grow In the dryefit of soils and produce large quanti ties of feed. Of course the Summer is not ended yet, but from all I have seen and heard our alfalfa will do all we hoped for and more. "The best time for growing is in the Spring, on land that has been plowed the preceding Autumn. For the sake of experiment, we have sown the soil in the Autumn, in January, February, March and April. The April-sown alfalfa turned out the best of any." Near The Dalles is a 20-acre tract of the alfalfa, the ground of which gets so dry that heretofore all vegetation has turned brown. But already the owner has mowed off 3a tons', and will yet cut another crop this year. A number of hogs have been feeding on the tract for some time. Colonel Judson has received notice that W. J. Splllman, Government Agrostologlst, will be here August 24. Two Attorneys Admitted. Seward D. Allen, of Eugene, was today admitted to the bar for nine months on a certificate from the Supreme Court of Minnesota. Martin Hoge, of Medford, was permanently admitted to the bar.
