In an Informal "Way.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 17. (Staff cor
respondencesSeattle hotels are all
crowded tonight with Trans-Mississippi
delegates and their friends, who have been
pouring In by every train arriving for the
jpast 24 hours. The far South and South
west have a larger representation among
the delegates already here than any other
-portion of the country, except Utah,
which came in goocEy numbers on the
evening train. President Klrby has not yet
Errivea, and it is reported this evening
that he may not be here tomorrow, In
which case the presidential address will
be delivered by First Vice-President B. F.
Montgomery ofs Cripple Creek, Colo.
Among the more prominent arrivals to
day was ex-Congressman Gresham, of
Texas, formerly president of the Trans
Mississippi Congress, and at present lead
ing a good-sized delegation of Texans.
-Governor McBrldo also arrived this even
ing and will speak at the meeting at
Leschi Park tomorrow morning. Tom
RIcharu3on. of New Orleans, one of the
founders of the organization and a hustler
from Hustlevllle, has been here several
days and Is doing very effective work in
showing others besides the Mlssourlans
how great good can be accomplished by
keeping the organization up to Its past
high standard.
Seattle Is taking care of the strangers
as she does everything else on a broad
gauge plan. The Inhabitants of this live
ly city on Elliot Bay may bo addicted to
peculiar methods of compiling bank clear
ings and may infuse overdoses of hot air
Into their population statistics, but when
It comes to genuine hospitality to the
stranger within their gates, they never go
wrong. Today they have a large force
of men at Leschi Park decorating the
pavilion and installing exhibits of fruits,
grains and grasses. They are also pre
paring an elaborate lunch, which will bo
served at the pavilion between the morn
ing and afternoon sessions tomorrow.
The first session of the Congress will bo
called to order at 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning by Judge C J. Gavin, of Raton,
N. M.t chairman of the executive com
mittee. The members of the organization
will be welcomed to the state by Governor
McBrlde, and in behalf of the city Mayor
Humes will deliver an address of wel
come. For the commercial bodies of the
Northwest Judge Thomas Burke, one of
the most eloquent speakers of the state.
will deliver an address of welcome. The
response to these addresses will be made
by President Klrby, or in the event of his
non-arrival, by First Vice-President Mont
gomery.
As none of the delegations have yet
reached here intact, they have been de
layed in formulating their particular de
sires for action by the congress, although
the Texans held an Informal caucus at the
"Washington Hotel this afternoon, and the
Louisiana delegation met at the Lincoln
for the same purpose. Nothing definite
was arrived at at these meetings, and
there will be no business of importance
transacted until the delegates are all here.
Meanwhile, Irrigation, river and harbor
Improvements and other similar under
takings which will come before the con
grcss for discussion, are being pretty
freely discussed in an informal way.
The Seattle reception and entertainment
rommltte'es have opened headquarters In
the Marlon block, and Chairman Fletcher
and Secretary Hedrick. of the executive
committee, are very busy looking after
the requirements of the arriving dele
gates. No register was opened at these
downtown headquarters and as the dele
gates are scattered all over the city in
hotels and rooming-houses, it is Impos
sible to ascertain the exact number al
ready here. The register Mill be opened
tit Leschi Park tomorrow morning and it
is believed that It will show ovor 500
delegates In attendance.
At the afternoon session tomorrow the
principal address will be by Tom Rich
arfiwti, manager of the New Orleans Pro
gressive Union, who will speak on "Im
migration and Its Distribution." Hon. H.
"V. Richardson, secretary of the National
Good Roads Association, will speak on
"Good Roads." A Joint oommlttee will
make a report on the advisability of merg
ing the Trans-Mlsslsrfppl Commercial
Congress and the National Irrigation Con
gress. This report will undoubtedly bo
pretty freely discussed and will end the
business part of tho day'rf proceedings.
In the evening between 6:89 and
o clock an excursion will be given on
Lake Washington. No evening business
sessions will be held and the Seattle
people have planned enough interesting
diversions to occupy the time of the dele
gates whenever they have any to spare.
A few of the advance guard of the Port
land delegation arrived today, and quar
ters for the remainder of the delegation
have been secured at the Hotel Seattle.
Oregon headquarters will be established in
the balcony of the hotel. Just off the main
lobby. ,
Space has been reserved at the Park pa
villon for am exhibit of photographs of
Oregon scenery and -Industries which will
be presented in lieu of a more substantial
exhibit. E. VT. W

ADDED TO THE DEWEY CLAIM.
Porchnse of the Checkmate Mine at
Pearl, Idaho.
NAMPA. Idaho. Aug. 17. (Special.) By
tho acquisition of the great Checkmate
mine, at Pearl, Idaho, by E. H. Dewey, Is
added one more substantial link to tho
chain of the Dewey estate. From time
immemorial the trade of the Pearl district
has naturally gone to Boise City. Now.
with a Dewey road within a few miles of
the mines, the channels of trade will be
diverted to Nampa. Without doubt the
greatest factor in the rapid advancement
of Idaho was the late Colonel Dewey.
Here at Dewey's home, Nampa, he was
called eccentric, daring, vehement, vision
ary a "plunger" by many. But time, and
only a short time, has shown that Mr.
Dewey possessed rare financial ability and
foresight, for his schemes have material
ized Into permanent paying realties.
Colonel Dewey had long been prominent
In mining circles in Idaho;' but it was not
until the great Thunder Mountain gold
strike that the name of Dewey spread be
yond the state. After becoming firmly In
trenched In the gold fields of Thunder
Mountain, Mr. Dewey turned his attention
to railroad building, with a view finally to
running a road from Silver City to his
mines in Thunder Mountain, and those
south of the Snake River. Thus, leading
out from the Oregon Short Line at Nampa,
a road was built north towards Thunder
Mountain. 40 miles, as far as Emmett, and
one south across the Snake River to Mur-
phy. Before these roads could be com
pleted Mr. Dewey died at his home in
Nampa in April of this year, leaving the
responsibility of the road's completion to
his oldest son. Edward H- Dewey. Before
Colonel Dewey died he built a palatial
hotel at Nampa. costing more than $250,000.
and acquired several thousand acres of
land near Nampa. Upon this ground he
proposed to build two large reservoirs for
the conservation of the waste waters of
tho Boise River. While Mr. Dewey Is not
the chance-taker his father was, he Is,
nevertheless, progressive, public-spirited
and is showing a disposition to carry out
the plans formulated by his father. There
is no doubt, therefore, that his northern
road will be extended a good part of the
way to Thunder Mountain next year, and
that the great Rldenbaugh Canal, pur
chased by Mr. Dewey two months ago,
will be enlarged and reservoirs built, as
designed by the elder Dewey.
CRITICISES GEXERAL ODELL.
Commissioner Richards Rejects Ap

The application of the State of Oregon

Land Office at Washington. Applications

In rejecting these applications. Com
missioner Richards criticises the work of
General W. H. Odell. of Salem, ex-attorney
for the state, who was serving In
that capacity at the time the applica
tions were made. Commissioner Richards
writes as follows:
"Mr. Odell, as attorney for the state,
has filed this uid similar applications for
reinstatement that are wholly without
merit and which cannot reasonably be ex
pected to be allowed, and can only "bt re-
garded as another form of dilatory mo
tion by which the public lands are kept
segregated and the work of this office
is very materallly retarded. If the state
desires to retain these tracts of land
they should be re-selected upon valid
bases before adverse claims attach."

DEATH FROM HEART FAILURE.
Fatal End of an Outing in Call
fornla.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., Aug. 17. An
inquest held today over the remains of
Miss Katherlne Grathwol, who died on
the mountain trail to the summit of the
Santa Barbara Range yesterday, devel
oped the fact that the young woman s
death was caused by heart failure
brought about by exhaustion. The Coro

DEPUTY ABUSED A COXVIOT.
Suicide Due to the Panlshment He
Received in Jail.
BUTTE, Mont., Aug. 17. Pursuant to
leeal advice. Michael Etran today aban-
doned an autopsy upon the remains of
' Frank Ortoff. the Wyoming stage robber
. anQ leader of the recent Jallbreak, whose
body was found hanging in a cell Satur
day morning.
The allegations were made that OrtofTs
suicide was due to terrible punishment in
flicted at the jail, it being alleged in a
signed statement made by Edward Dor
vaL chief operator of the Western Union,
that he had seen a Deputy Sheriff stamp
upon tho prisoner's stomach until the
shackled man became unconscious.
Coroner Egan declares that the question
of Ortoff's treatment by the Jailers Is a
matter for the County Commissioners,
and not for him to investigate, as it has
been proved beyond a doubt that death
was directly due to the suicide. It is
stated that tho Federal authorities will
order an autopsy, as Ortoff was a United
States prisoner, charged with robbing the
malls of stages.

OBJECTION TO REIXSTATEMEXT OF
ST. RAYXEB,
Grievance Committee of the State
Ban Association. Flies Its Answer
Court Yet to Act.
SALEM, Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.) The
grievance committee of the State Bar As
sociation today filed in the Supreme Court
an objection to the reinstatement of Hen
ry St. Rayner as an attorney. The com
mittee expresses the opinion that St. Ray
ner should not be reinstated until after
the lapse of one year from the date of
his disbarment. While the committee does
not recommend that he be readmitted at
the end of a year, the inference from the
language used would be that after he has
done a years penance, no objection win
be made to his reinstatement.
St. Rayner was disbarred for altering
the record of the testimony In tho Mc
Danlel murder cose, and recently made
application for reinstatement, showing by
numerous documents his previous good
standing. The Supreme Court directed
that notice of the application be served
upon the Attorney-General and the griev
ance committee of the State Bar Associa
tion, which committee conducted tho dis
barment proceedings. The Attorney-Gen
eral took no action one way or another.
The Supreme Court has yet to pass upon.
the application for reinstatement.

Because of the extreme low stage of
tho Willamette River, the management of
the Willamette Pulp & Paper Mills has
found It necessary to close down station
A, which Is located on this side of the
river. It is in this mill that the pulp la
prepared by which the paper Is manufac
tured In the mills on the West Side. The
closing down of station A, however, will
not Interfere In any way with the opera
tion of the main mills of the corporation
since there is a sufficient supply of pulp
on hand to keep the mills going for sev
eral weeks. By the suspension of opera
tions In station A 33 men are thrown out
of employment, but these laborers will
readily find work in the harvest fields
or hopyards. It is expected that the stage
In the river will be such that wort can
be resumed by September 15.

WONDERFUL
WO
Lots Like It Being Done
Right Here in Port
land. Portland people are surprised at the
work being done by "The Little Con
Queror." Public expression1 on the sub
ject brings the. matter frequently before
the people. At nrst there were many
doubters: and why not? So many claims
of a similar nature have been made with
little or no backing excepting the Word of
some stranger residing in a far-away
place; this evidence was accepted for lack
of better. Not necessary to accept any
longer. All sufferers from any kidney ill
can find plenty of local Indorsement for a
remedy that will cure them. Surely the
wonderful work of Doan's Kidney Pills
right here at home is proof sufficient to
satisfy any skeptic. Read the expression
of one citizen on the subject:
J. Blake, whose place of residence Is
525. Market street, says: "I bought sev
eral 'boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills from
the Laue-Davis Drug Company's store,
corner of Yamhill and Third streets, and
I scarcely think If the first had not proved
satisfactory that I would have tried the
second or third. I have used Tn my time
almost everything said to be a cure for
weakened or overexcited kidneys and blad
der, but nothing ever gave me the satis
faction I received from Doan's Kidney
Pills. They are easy to take, have no
effect upon the stomach or bpwels, and
act directly on the kidneys, and I thor
