SEATTLE IMMODEST
Claims to Have Only 130,000
Inhabitants.
SOME STARTLING STATISTICS
Conservative City on Paget Sound
Arranges for Truthful Repre
sentation in Booklet Issned by
Northern Pacific Railroad.
he Northern Pacific Immigratiqjj bu
reau has recently Issued a revised edition
of "Opportunities," the railroad's publi- 1
cation that portrays the resources of the
towns along: that line and the business
openings for men of means. The publi- j
cation Is interesting for several reasons,
but in one particular it has excited com
ment in Portland.
"Opportunities" neglected to avail Itself
of the privilege of secuflng data concern
ing Portland. In a modest little descrlp- j
tlon of this city the! publication asserts
the total population of the Oregon me-
tropoils Is 120,000. Having turned but a j
moment before from the glowing descrlp- j
tlon of Seattle, a burg pictured with 130,
000 Inhabitants, the small showing on be
half of Portland makes a cold chill play
hlderand-seek up and down the verte
brae. The asurance that there are 120,000 per
sons quartered in Portland Is Improved
somewhat by the Information that the
population is Increasing. Portland, the
booklet shows, is the terminus for four
transcontinental railroads. -This assertion
is probably based on the belief that the
Burlington's trains And then way into
Portland, but the coaches that go to mate
up that road's overland get lost up in
Washington and turn about for the re
tarn trip before reaching the Columbia
Biver. However, the three other trans
continental lines can be accounted for
readily enough. The Lewis and Clark
Fair is mentioned and after it is all over
the publication refers to Portland, paren
thetically, as "queen city of the Pacific
Northwest."
The persons responsible for Seattle's
laudatory story waded out into a river
of statistics and threw them into the
booklet with a shovel. Some of them fit.
For instance, the place is credited with
a population of 130,000, of whom the ar
ticle further asserts, 15,000 are school chil
dren. The disproportionate ratio between
adults and school children has its gro
tesqueness hidden by two paragraphs of
statistics and generalities. It Is asserted
on behalf of Seattle, for instance, that
the Puget Sound navy-yard is "just across
the sound" from Seattle.
But though Seattle occupies an entire
1N THE SHADOWS OF THE MlMOK LAW
The sun was not yet up on Labor day
when a gallant four-masted schooner was
towed Into the Port of Portland by a
struggling little tug. She dropped her
anchor to the bottom of the murky Will
amette. Her long voyage from England
was ended.
Arthur MacDowell, who says he Is as
good a sailor as ever cast a line, stood on
the upper deck possessed, of a mighty
thirst and of much curiosity to see the
great land of the free of which his grand
father had so oftei told him. He got
shore leave and wandered up Third street
where the craving, gnawing thirst begot
by months on the ocean wave was satis
lied. He had just reached the fighting
stage when William Grindstone, of
Sweden, slapped him good-naturedly on
the back and remarked that It was a bad
day for Labor day.
Arthur resented this very bitterly. H
did not have to labor and didn't care any
thing about what kind of a day it was.
Grindstone tried to explain what he
meant He talked asVood English as he
knew, but it apparently did not make a
hit with Arthur.
"Git t'ellaway from 'ere. HI can't talk
the fish langwlch," he shouted, emphasiz
ing his oration with a straight right to
the pit of the stomach that sent Grind
stone down and out while the policemen
who saw the act took the Englishman in
tow for Port Hunt
All this and much more was made
known to Judge Hogue in the Police Court
yesterday forenoon. And each of the next
ten days will be labor day for Arthur if
the rockplle holds out
John Canfield, who denied having any
New York relatives of that name, was
well dressed. Intelligent of appearance
and altogether not a bad sort of fellow.
He smiled very elaborately at the court
"and asked the Judge to name the "ante",
and he would "stay." It made him but $5
poorer.
August Peterson was born in Sweden 27
years ago and moved to this country when
but a small boy. After wandering about
the United States for many years he
finally settled In Portland and turned his
energies toward driving a mule team for
a lumber company. Monday he consumed
more or less of splritus frumentl and
entered the non compos mentis stage.
This, In brief, is the biography of his life,
with the last chapter added by a police
man. Judge Hogue, acting In the capacity
of literary critic, decided that the story
lacked variety and thought that a final
chapter, dealing with ten days on the
rockplle would give the biography char
acter. John Johnson's Ideas of etiquette are ex
pensive. He invited a friend to take dinner with
him on Labor day and when the friend
presented regrets, knocked him down.
"I just pushed him down trying to get
him to come," Johnson Informed Judge
Hogue.
The court suggested two Immediate In
vestments; .one of $10 to satisfy outraged
Justice, and another of $5 for a book of
etiquette. John paid the fine but whether
he bought the books not recorded.
Frank Schwartz, -who closely resembles
a Spanish War caricature of General
Weyler, sought the life of a policeman In
the North End with a long knife. The
evidence showed that he. did not succeed
in his attempt and he was sent to jail for
DO days.
An .unknown lady gave John Green a
quarter with which to buy a bed. In a fit
of absent-mindedness he went intoasaloon
and invested the bonus In five fingers of
Kin. A policeman got the help of another
policeman and took him In. for Green has
square jaws, broad shoulders and a very
pugnacious appearance.
"I'm a invalid, yer 'aner. It '11 kill me
to work on th' chain-gang." groaned Green,
patting himself sympathetically.
Fearful that the exercise of walking
about the streets might even injure the
sufferer, the big-hearted and solicitous
court prescribed 20 days' rest in the Chief
Hunt Institute for Sinners.
MlneoYvncrs Sentenced for Contempt.
TOPEKA. Kan., Sept S. Judge Hazen
today sentenced Mine . Operators John
Jack and John Bell to jail until such a
period as they might conclude to answer
the questions of the attorne3-s In the coal
trust Inquiry. The men had refused to
testify on the theory that It might in
criminate them. The prisoners will . ap
peal to the Supreme Court
page in the publication, It evens up the
score elsewhere. There is a department
showing the Industries wanted or ac
ceptable to different localities," and in
this Seattle docs not appear. Apparently
the city has all the enterprises It requires,
but nearly every other point along the
Northern Pacific is out after some new
Industry. '
A packing-house and a smelter are
enumerated as enterprises that -would do
well in Portland. Spokane makes appli
cation for a number of new industries,
but Tacoma comes to the front with a
request for a boiler-works, fruit and
vegetable cannery, car factory, drug
st&ce, flour mill, sash and door factory,
shipyard and tannery. Tacoma over
looked a few, though very few, Industries
the Northern Pacific would supply. For
Instance there is an appeal for a "harness-maker
who can repair shoes," but It
Is not for Tacoma. Nor does the Com
mencement Bay town 'ask for a pop fac
tory or distillery which are. also in the
list of possibilities.
"The business part of the city is com
posed of magnificent structures from
four to seven stories In height," reads an
excerpt from the descriptive story of Ta
coma. The seven-story business block in
Tacoma is a possibility of the future. The
only one existing there at present Is one
which a newspaper article recently de
clared was to be made seven stories In
height, J'though," the story read, "the
builder will erect but one story for the
present." Tacoma shows up well in
school children, claiming 13,603.
That portion of "Opportunities" devoted
to Portland reads: N '
"On main line. Population, 120,000; in
creasing. Terminus for four transconti
nental railroads. One of the leading
commercial ports In the country. At

The road have been, able to effect a settle
ment with practically all of those who
were not seriously Injured and believe
they have adjusted accounts satisfac
torily. No attempt has been made to effect a
definite arrangement with some of the
more seriously Injured, and none will be
made until It is known just how serious
the Injuries are. Settlements have gen
erally been based on the loss of time to
the Injured and the after-effect of the
-wounds. The claim agents have been
working on the cases.
While It may be possible that some of
the Injured have been overlooked, rail
road officials contend that It is more prob
able many who were not hurt were dis
covered. Physicians and representatives
of the company have been repeatedly
called upon to Investigate the claims of
persons Insisting theywere passengers on
the wrecked train, but whose demands for
damages have not stood the test of in
vestigation. No report has yet been made of the
cause of the accident. Among some rail
road men there Is a disposition to believe
that' the engine had left the rails prior to
the time the explosion occurred, but this
fact either has not been established or
has been kept from the public
V Pleased With the Business.
General Passenger Agent Charles S.
Fee, of the Northern Pacific, left last
evening for his home in St Paul. Mr.
Fee 'expected to proceed directly to St.
Paul for he has visited practically all
the Important towns on the: line of the
road during the past six weeks.. He has
been In Portland and Its Immediate vicin
ity for about three weeks and leaves for
home thoroughly satisfied with the con
dition of business here.
In speaking yesterday of the Yellow
stone Park travel this year Mr. Fee sald:
"The Yellowstone Park season will close
September 15 after the most successful
year's business we have known. The
travel has been showing a steady increase
over that of last year, which, was a
record-breaker. Both the railroad com
pany and the hotels of the park have been
In a better position to handle the traffic
this year and we are thoroughly satis
fied with the business done. I believe the
people have been pleased."

demonstrating to General Johnson the fu
tility of dividing his forces. The figures,
which stand on a granite pedestal, are
nine feet high.
The monument stands In the center of

scription: "1303. The Society of Colonial
Wars erected this monument to commem
orate the victory of the Colonial forces
under General Johnson and the Mohawk
allies under Chief Hendrick over the
French regulars, commanded by Baron

"Oyster Bay, Aug. 29, 1903. My Dear Mr.
Ferris: It is with great regret that I find
myself unable to be present at the dedi
cation of the monument to commemorate
the battle of Lake George. I very ear
nestly Believe In the wisdom In this new
country of ours of keeping alive a sense
of continuity with the historic past It
is a good thing from every standpoint to
commemorate in striking form the detds
that made Lakes Champlain and George
famous In Colonial and Revolutionary
days and again In the war of 1812. There
Is a peculiar appropriateness in placing a
monument on the line of these two lakes
wtfich formed a highway of warfare fol
lowed by the war parties of Indians, of
Colonial troops, of French and British
and finally of American soldiers.
"Hoping that you will have a thoroughly
successful celebration, I am, very sin
cerely yours,

MAY BE HOLD-UP ARTISTS
Two Suspicious Characters Are Nab
bed by the Police.
With three loaded revolvers hidden be
neath their shirts, Glenn Howard and
Whitney Ames, two young men of sus
picious appearance, were arrested early
this morning at Seventh and Washington
streets by Officer Endicott A yard of
black cloth was also found in their" pos
session. K
Slouching down Washington street
shortly before 1 o'clock Ames and How
ard, who say they are cousins, were ac
costed by the policeman. They could
give no satisfactory account of them
selves, and denied that they .had any pis
tols on their persons. When searched
by the officer, the guns were at once
found concealed beneath their clothing.
A quantity of cartridges Is another piece
of damaging evidence.
That the young men are either members
of the crowd of hold-up artists or had
armed themselves In anticipation of com
mitting a robbery is considered oertaln
by the police. They could give no reason
for carrying the yard and more of black
cloth found upon Ames, although the
officers, realizing the connection between
black cloth and masks, questioned them
closely.
Two razors were likewise " found upon
each of the suspected highwaymen. Qrie
of the pistols carried by Ames was a
practicable weapon, fully loaded and
ready for use. The other, under his
shirt, was of a cheaper make, but equally
dangerous.
The twp young men, who say they are
each, 17 years of age, are tough looking
characters. Presenting far from a pre
possessing appearance, their actions and
the arms they were loaded with con
vinced the police that they have either
captured a- pair of highwaymen or two
foolish young men starting upon such a
career.
Everett, Wash., Is the homo address
given by the suspected highwaymen. They
told. Endicott when ho accosted them
that they had Just arrived from Oregon
City." Why they were roaming along
Washington street, and In the opposite
direction from that of the Oregon City
ca"r line, was something they could not
tell to the satisfaction the officer. They
acted sullenly, and would barely answer
the queries put to them. They will ap
pear before Municipal Judge Hogue this
morning In (all probability, and mean
while the detective? will try to' look up
their past record, and, if possible, learn
if they actually came from Everett
In appearance Ames and Howard do
not tally with the description of any of
the robbers who have been holding up
people right and left for-the past month.
They are tall and slender and wear cowboy
bats.

NEWSPAPER - WRITERS TO BE
BROUGHT OX SPECIAL TRAIN.
Beard of Trade ' Indorses Will G.
Steel's Project to,. Advertise
Pa cine Xorthyrest.
The Board of Trade, at its regular
monthly-meeting last night, enthusiastic
ally indorsed the plan of Will G. Steel,
of this city, for an excursion of. Influential
newspaper writers, over a route .covering
the various points of Interest in the
trans-Mississippi country. The plan as
indorsed is outlined in the following let
ter to the Board:
PORTLAND, Or., Sept T. 1003.
Mr. Max IT. Shillock, Secretary Board of
Trade:
Dear Sir The undersigned is desirous of
organizing an excursion to consist of a
tralnload of leading newspaper men of tho
United States to leave St. Louis, about July
1. 1004. In a special Pullman train to visit
the following among other points: Pike's
Peak, "Grand Canyon of the Colorado. South
ern California, Big Trees, Yosemlte, ' San
Francisco, Crater Lake. "Willamette Valley,
Portland, Mount Hood," Baker County mines,
Columbia. River, Puget Sound, Lake Che
lan, Valley of the Stehekln, Yellowstone
Park and Chicago.
' It is planned to bring these men as guests
of Colorado and the Pacific Coast, meet
every expense and "freat them royally from
start to finish. This will require a large
amount of money, which must be necessar
ily be raised by subscription. It thus he
comes strictly a public measure and is pre
sented to the Board of Trade for consid
eration. If agreeable to your honorable
body, I would be pleased to have a com
mittee appointed to confer with similar com
mittees of other commercial bodies. Very
respectfully, WILL G. STEEL.
Mr. Steel was accorded the courtesy of
the floor and explained his idea at greater
length. The gentlemen Invited to make
up the party will be the editors of 30 of the
great dally papers which most fully cover
the news field. In addition, invitations
will be extended to prominent special cor
respondents and magazine writers, mak
ing the party in all abcut 100 persons. A
iritui consisting 01 ainmg, ODservation
and composite cars and two standard
Pullmans will be secured, which will be
scheduled to suit the purposes of a thor
ough sight-seeing tour of all of the prin
cipal states west of the Mississippi River.
The cost of such a trip is estimated at
$45,000, which the states through which
the party will pass are expected to sup
ply. The portion of the fund which Ore
gon is asked to raise Is $15,000, and as
more time will be spent In this than any
other state this is considered a fair as
sessment Mr. Steel's idea is that the excursion will
open the columns of the greatest papers
In the country to the exploitation of ,the
states Interested. The distinguished
guests will be given every opportunity to
examine the material resources and sce
nic advantages of the several states, and
the correspondence which will be pub
lished as a. result will attract attention
toward the West as nothing else could do.
The plan met with a hearty response
from the members of the Board, and
President Beach was authorized to ap
point a. committee of three to assist in
arranging the details of the trip and rais
ing, the necessary lunds. The president
reserved the appointment of the com
mittee until a later date.
Another matter of great Importance dis
posed of at the meeting was an Invita
tion to the National Irrigation Congress,
which meets in Ogden, Utah, thl3- month,
to hold Its 1904 convention in this city.
In this connection the following resolu
tion prepared by Secretary Shillock was
passed without debate:
Whereas, The irrigation movement in Or
egon is assuming large proportions, and
"Whereas, The irrigation interests of this
state would be materially benefited through
a meeting in this city of the National Ir-"
rigatlon Congress; now therefore bo it
Resolved, That the delegates of the Board
of Trade to the Eleventh National Irrigation
Congress, to convene at Ogden, Utah, Sep
tember 15 to 18, be and they are hereby
instructed to do their utmost to secure the
1004 meeting of said National Irrigation
Congress for Portland; be it further
Resolved, That all other delegates ap
pointed from this state to the said eleventh
National Irrigation Congress be requested
and urged to co-operate with the Board of
Trade's delegation in the same effort; be It
further
Resolved. That the president and secretary
of this board extend our official Invitation
to the National Irrigation Congress to meet
in this city in 1004, and that all other com
mercial organizations of this city be re
quested to do likewise.
A communication from Secretary Wis
dom, of the State Fair Association, was
read, asking the board to co-operate with
the management to make Portland day
at the fair a success. Thursday, Septem
ber 17, has been designated as Portland
day, and It Is hoped to secure a large at
tendance of people from this city. A
rate of $1.50, Including railroad fare to
and from Salem, admission to the grounds
and grandstand, has been secured and
special excursion trains will be run. The
board decided to use Its efforts toward
making the day a success.
Major A. F. Sears presented the board
with a handsomely executed map In col
ors, showing the extent of the Columbia
River Basin. "The map is a revelation
to the average citizen as to the superior
advantages of Portland as a great com
mercial metropolis and seaport A reso
lution of thanks was tendered Major
Sears, and on motion of Captain Flsk a
committee 1 was appointed to investigate
the practicability of preparing greatly en
larged copies of it for exhibition at tho
St Louis and Lewis and Clark Fairs. It
Is proposed to commission Major" Sears
to prepare two maps, 16x16 feet in size
following closely the lines of the one al
ready prepared on a gigantic scale. This
work will probably require several months
and necessitate an expense of $400 to $500.
Tho advantages which will accrue from
the exhibition of them, It believed,
will Justify the expense and labor.
A letter was read from the secretary of
the National Irrigation Congress author
izing the board to appoint two delegates
to the convention at Ogden September
15. President Beach announced that he
"A penny saved
- is a penny' earned.
$268!!!!
i
Will buy, during our removal sale, a
piano we have sold for years, and will
sell for years to come, for $375. This Is
not a cheap piano, brought here for "spe
cial sale" purposes, but one of our stand
ard line a. piano whose name is familiar
to every man, woman and child in Port
land. Our only reason for not trumpeting
aloud the name of this piano Is that we
do not care to put ourselves on record as
selling It so low, thus Injuring Its future
sale; $26S Is but a song for a good piano.
No matter how near it may be to cost,
or how far below it. the fact remains
that it Is yours for the amount named.
This is but one of the many results of the
wield of the price knife. COME IN TO

or two.
The matter of the entertainment of the
National Livestock Association in this
city next January -was taken up and it
was decided to lend all possible assist
ance to the Oregon Livestock Breeders'
Association in caring for the delegates.

DR. TALCOTT
We make a specialty of LIEN'S
diseases, both" acute and chronic,
and. In an experience covering over
25 years of SPECIALISM, we have
found that about one case in ten of
SEXUAL DISORDER has been
cured, or treated properly. The vic
tim of a CONTRACTED DISOR
DER flatters hmself that the dan
gers of Infection have been re
moved, but a latent or residual con
dition remains, and the DISEASE
Is liable to recur so many years
after the first or last attack that it
had become but tho dim shadow of
the past
A man suffering -from any form
jf SEXUAL DISORDER should
never be allowed to marry until
after a- chemical analysis of his se
cretions and urine it is found free
from GONOCOCCI and PUS
CELLS and a normal, healthy con
dition of the PROSTATE GLAND.
If your watch was out of order, you
would not take it to a blacksmith,
and. upon the same hypothesis, we
argue, that if you are SEXUALLY
disordered, you should consult a
SPECIALIST who has a reputa
lon and knows" how to cure you.
We invito the closest criticism of
our methods, and offer to the af
flicted a form of treatment that
CURES, no matter how many oth
ers have failed. No charge what
ever for a thorough examination,
and no money need be paid until
we have proven tho fact of cure.
