MANY TOURISTS ON COAST
PARTY ORGANIZED BY PENNSYL
VANIA BOAD ARRIVES TODAY.
Exeartiea Rates Me for Grand
Army EBearapaeat Attract Mack
Eastern Travel.
A party of tourists, organized by the
Pennsylvania Kailroad for the trip to the
Pacific Coast, will reach Portland this
morning over the Southern Pacific. The
party, which is In charge of O. P- Hartel,
tourist agent of the Pennsylvania sys
tem, Trill spend a day In Portland.
The Eastern party Is traveling In a spe
cial train. It was organized by the Penn
sylvania Railroad In connection 'with the
O. A. H. business to San Francisco from
Eastern points. Those Grand Army men
-who came west with the party left It at
Baa Francisco, and th& others, after a
three days stopover In San Francisco,
and a thorough Inspection of Interesting
points in California, started north.
The only stop to be made at a North
west clt will be in Portland today. The
special train does not go through Seattle,
and only halts In Tacoma long enough to
change engines and receive train orders.
At Spokane a stop of like duration Is to bo
made.
The Pennsylvania party Is to make the
Yellowstone Park trip before going East.
As the Yellowstone, season is growing late,
the party will proceed as soon as possible
to the park. After visiting that wonder
land the party will proceed eastward by
easy stages.
The Pennsylvania party Is the first or
ganized excursion to be brought north
from San Francisco since the Grand Army
rates have been in effect. There has been
a good movement of travelers from the
south for eeveral days, but the travel Is
now growing heavier than it has been at
any time since the early Spring conven
tions. The travel to San Francisco, Induced as
a. result of the cheap Grand Army excur
sion rates, attracted thousands of visiters
from the East, and comparatively few of
these perhons are remaining in San Fran
cisco during the sessions of the G. A. R.
and its kindred organizations. The exodus
toward the East is expected to continue
during the rest of the week, when the
excursionists will be joined by the hun
dreds of veterans who came to the Coast
to attend the encampment.
Railroad men expect the movement of
tourists from San Francisco and Seattle
to be In effect at the same time. In fact,
tho traffic from both directions is already
heavy, and is certain to Increase with
tho approaching adjournment of the bod
ies which drew the excursionists.
The effect of the travel aouth from Se
attle and north from San Francisco will
be to make a large portion of the excur
sionists meet in Portland. The result of
this Influx of travelers will be a severe
tax upon the hotel accommodations, and.
Incidentally, will call upon the northern
rail lines for more passenger coaches than
these roads like to put out. The northern
lines are severely taxed by the regular
traffic, but the extra crowd will be han
dled somehow.
Hnilroml Notes.

CARNIVAL TO COST $12,000
Soliciting Committees Are Hard at
Work.
At a meeting of the Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic Club carnival committee
last night Superintendent Bentley report
ed substantial progress in every lino of
work. His little army of men have the
bleachers almost completed, and by Tues
day of next week the work on the fence
will be finished. Considerable work is
being done on the grandstand and within
a few weeks it will be put in first-class
condition, amply safe to contains the
large crowd that will congregate In it.
According to the estimate of Superinten
dent Bentley. the Multnomah Club will
be put to an expense of about $12,000, and
for this reason the members of tho club
and the committees are working with an
earnest effort to make the carnival a
Success.
The question of confetti was up for dis
cussion, and the advisability of setting
aside certain rights for confetti throwing
was considered. No definite action, how
ever, was taken.
The subscription committee has organ
ized for active work and already is busy
soliciting. Owing to the faot that the
carnival is given by the Multnomah
Club many of the business men being
members It is expected that a liberal
response will be given. At a meeting of
the subscription committee it was decided
to distribute the work among a number
of subcommittees, each in a particular
field. The subcommittees follow:

SAVING THEIR STRENGTH
Oregon Mnmxfnctnrera Not Enthnsl.
aatlc About St. Loci Fair.
A disposition Is being shown by Oregon
manufacturers to concentrate all their ef
forts toward malting a good dLplay of
Ihls state's manufactured products at the
Lewis and Clark Fair. In order to do
this, the St. Louis exhibit from Oregon
will bo sacrificed.
Letters have been sent out by the sec
retary of the State Commission to all tho
prominent manufacturers in Oregon, ask
ing them to co-operate with the board
ond provide a creditable display of man
ufactured goods from this state. It has
been jurged that without the co-operation
of the "manufacturers, it will b prac
tically Impossible to get together tho sort
of display planned
Thouch. comparatively few of the r n-
ufacturers have responded to this appeal,
the tenor of all the letters received in re
ply is the same. The manufacturers show
a lack of interest in the St. Louis exhi
bition, but Insist that they are planning
to make a full exhibition at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition.
The only favorable response received
by the State Commission thus far came
from a factory that tarns out logging en
gines. This corporation offered to shew
examples of its work if the State Com
mission dtfslred to accept a side line of
logging engines. The expense of trans
porting the machines to St. Louis will
probably forbid any attempt to take up
the offer.

Three sessions of the annual conference
or Y. M. C. A. officers of the Pacific
Northwest were held yesterday, and the

So Asset Currency, but a. Simple, Con
servative Pleasure.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. The members of
the Senate subcommittee, which has been
considering a new currency measure, have
given up the idea of attempting to reach
an agreement upon any asset currency
plan, says a World dispatch from Provi
dence, R. L Senator Aldrich, the chair
man, is authority for the statement that
while the committee has not departed from
Its determination to devise some simple,
conservative measure for the betterment
of financial conditions, it has. decided to
exclude from the bill any reference to as
set currency of any other detail upon
which a disagreement of Senate and
House would be likely.
"It is tho belief of that committee that
In a short' time before Congress is con
vened it would be practically Impossible
to frame, with any hope of Its adoption,
a comprehensive currency measure that
would embrace all the larger questions
which will yet have to be dealt with. The
energies of the committee, therefore, are
being devoted to paving tho way for the
passage of a simple bill to meet present
needs. When the formal conference of
the committee Is resumed in the near fu
ture at Senator Aldrich's home, .the new
measure will be drafted.
SHIP BOY'S BODY ON CAR
I'ennnylvnnla Couple Try to Keep
Death of Son Quiet.
MOXONGAHELuC Pa., Aug. 20. The
bloodstained corpse of a 5-year-old boy
was discovered yesterday by the baggage
man on a Pittsburg. Virginia & Charles
ton railroad train en route to Dravos
burg. Tho body was packed tightly in a
large coffee can and was wrapped in tho
blood-soaked folds of a woman's dress.
The only mark on the body was a bullet
hole In the breast. The can was deposited
In the baggage car at Waltersburg by a
man and woman who said they would take
it off at Dravosburg, their destination.
When Dravosburg was reached tho couple
were arrested. They said their names
were Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Jublller, of
Tucker, and that the boy was their son
who had accidentally shot himself with
his father's revolver. When they found
ho was dead, they decided to keep the
matter quiet and bury him privately at
Dravosburg.
NEGROES FLEE FOR LIVES
Entire Population of Texas Town
Fears a It nee Riot.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20. A dispatch to the
Record-Herald from Dallas. Tex., says:
News from Whltewrlght, Tex., Is to the
effect that all the negroes of the town,
more than 10) persons, have fled, for fear
of a race war. A negro attacked a white
woman about a weeK ago, and that night
a negro accused of the offense was hanged
by a mob, but was cut down before he
was dead, by the Sheriff and a posse. No
tices were posted ordering all the negroes
to leave the place, and the blacks fled.
A Texas & Pacific negro excursion from
Louisiana and Eastern Texas to El Paso,
arranged recently, has been declared off,
on protests from the Mayor and Chief of
Police at El Paso, who feared race
trouble.
NEED NOT FEAR AMERICA
Gerninny'n Suecenn In Selling Abroad
Certain With Good Times.
BERLIN, Aug. 20. James Speycr, the
New York banker, in an interview on
general financial conditions today, is
quoted as saying:
'Geimany has nothing to fear from
American competition so long as the
United States Is prosperous. America's
prosperity means Germany's success In
selling abroad. Therefore there is every
reason for the Germans to wish the Amer
icans good luck and to cultivate their good
will."
Doubtful About the Law,
The friendly lawsuit to test the legality
of the act under which the proposed steel
bridge is to be built is to be brought, if
brought at all, by the contractors, the
Pacific Bridge Company. City Attorney
McNeary said yesterday that the city is
satisfied with the legality of the district
assessment under the new law, and is not
inclined to raise the question at all. The
manager of the bridge company says that
when the matter was first brought up.
Mayor Williams thought it might be ad
visable for a suit to be brought to settle
tho question of the legality of the law.
but on looking further into the matter he
concluded that there was no necessity for
the suit. The bridge company's lawyers
are now looking into tho matter, but have
not arrived at a decision.
If when they conclude their investiga
tions they consider it advisable, the suit
will be brought There is nothing in the
way of "sparring for time" in this mat
ter; the company simply desires to be
satisfied as to the legality of the law be
fore beginning operations.
Try to Save Woo Sheolc
Lawyers acting for Woo Shook, charged
with robbery by the San Francisco police,
have served a writ of habeas corpus on
Chief Hunt, and the case will be argued
today before Judge Cleland. Detective
Gibson, of San Francisco, is now on his
way to this city for his prisoner, bearing
requisition papers.

OBSTACLES TO . FERRY
THE LANDING SITES AT SELLWOOD
CLAIMED. BY V. S. MARQUAM.
Right of Way Mnat Also Be- Obtained
Tbrosgh Cemetery to the White
Horic Road.
Residents of Sellwood, who seem to
think that the ferry matter is not moving
fast enough may rest assured that the
committee appointed by .the Executive
Board to handle it Is doing all that can
be done at present. The first obstacle In
the way of carrying out the vote of the
people giving Sellwood a free ferry is in
securing landings on both sides of the
river. On the West Side a right of way
must be secured to the White House road
through the land of the Cemetery Asso
ciation from the river. Whether any
great difficulty will be encountered in this
procedure remains to be seen.
On the Sellwood side the committee has
run counter to the claims of IT. S. Mar
quam to the ferry franchise at the foot of
Spokane avenue, where it is proposed to.
land the ferry. In order to ascertain on
what basis this claim rests, the matter
has been placed in the hands of City At
torney L. A. McNary, who is now look
ing into the matter. It is understood that
Marquam lays claim to a ferry franchise
to all the streets of Sellwood, which, if
well founded, would necessitate securing
the right to land the ferry from him. The
Sellwood Real Estate Company did re
servo the ferry and street-car rights In
Sellwood, and Marquam claims he ob
tained his ferry rights from the company.
Just what the situation is will be de
veloped in the course of the Investigation
undertaken by the City Attorney. The
right to land on both sides of the river
must be secured before much progress
can be made toward establishing the Sell
wood fern. Selling the $15,000 worth of
bonds and building the boat are a com
parative!) small part of the work of the
committee, and the easiest features of the
project.
SHE.YA CREEK. MINING DISTRICT.
Much Development Worlc Being Done
There by Portland Men.
Edward Renfer, who has Just returned
from Huckleberry Mountain, in the Shcna
Creek mining district, says that a great
many owners of claims are working on
leads in the mountain, searching for the
true ledges. The mountain, he says, is
streaked with leads, and while he was
there he could hear blasting in many di
rection's. Mr. Renfer Is Interested In the
Northern Light & Bonanza Quartz Com
pany, which has sunk a tunnel 300 feet
into the side of the mountain.
Mr. ' Renfer took In over the trail the
rails and cars for the tramway to be laid
In the tunnel. It was a hard Job to get
the iron along the narrow path, but it
was accomplished by a single packhorse
In seven days. The long rails were very
unwieldy and hard to get along the trail,
in which there arc sharp turns, and which
is Hanked by standing trees and fallen
logs. The tunnel will now be extended 50
feet.
While there Mr. Renfer did some ex
ploring and took up another claim. He
brought home somo ore from the end of
the tunnel, which is now being assayed.
Mining experts who have examined the
ore seem to think that it will assay high
in silver and copper. It is evident that
Shena Creek mining district will be thor
oughly prospected, and If the ledges are
worth putting up crushers on, the tacf.
will be ascertained as a result of the
work now being done thore by Portland
men and others.
MAKE MILWAUKIE CLEAN.
Marshal Will Enforce Ordinance
Pa.ixed by the Council.
The Council of Milwaukle has placed
upon the shoulders of Marshal Jesse A.
Keck the very heavy burden of enforcing
the ordinance for cleaning up that new
city. This ordinance was passed at the
last meeting of the Council. The Mar
shal has caused copies to be posted in
three conspicuous places in Milwaukle, so
that every citizen may read it.
Marshal Keck said yesterday that tho
ordinance would be enforced fully. He
will give the people until next Monday to
clean up their rubbish, the accumulation
of many years. This includes tin cans,
wire, scraplron and debris of every kind.
The Marshal will buy a wheelbarrow and
do the work of citizens who fail to com
ply with the ordinance, and will then
charge up the same to the property-owners.
The object of the ordinance was to
make a clean town. The penalty for fall
ing to comply with tho ordinance is a fine
not to exceed $100 or imprisonment. As
Milwaukle has no Jail, the imprisonment
clause is void.
Will Be Lnr?e Dredger.
Joseph Supple will send to Glenn's Fer
ry, Snake River, the stern-wheel tender
craft he has finished. It is 40x10 feet long,
and is for the Raber Dredger Company.
Mr. Supple has sent a crew of men to
Glenn 8 Ferry to put together , the big
dredger he shipped up there, knocked
down, some time ago. The force will be
at work on the dredger several months.
This dredger will be the largest and most
expensive ever designed for the Snake
River sandbar, and has many new fea
tures not . used in the ordinary river
dredger.

American Minister In Colombia Told
to Report New Developments.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Minister
Beaupre, at Bogota, has been asked by
the State Department to send more def
inite information concerning proceedings
about the isthmian canal treaty, but
there Is no way of telling how long- the
message will be delayed, owing to the in
terruption of telegraphic communication
between Bucna Ventura and Bogota. The
fact that two messages of the same date
reached the department, with an interval
of four days between them, shows how ir
regular this mode of communication has
become. Tho only dispatch received to
day from Minister Beaupre was dated the
12th, and was very indefinite, although It
conveys the impression that further ef
forts are being made tot secure favorable
action upon the treaty.
