COMFORTS OF HOME
Special Hotels for Japanese
at St. Louis Fair.
OTSUKA ARRIVES IN PORTLAND
Sent by Mikado's Government to
Slake ArrniiKcmentd for Receiving
Ills Countrymen. Will Meet
Levrls and Clark Officials.
In order that Japanese visitors to the
World's Fair at St. Louis may be com
fortably housed according to the customs
In vogue in the land of the Mikado, U.
Otsuka has been sent by the Japanese
government from his home at Osaka to
America. A few days ago he. arrived In
Seattle. Last night he reached Portland,
and while here he will hold extended con
ferences with Colonel Henry E. Dosch,
whom he met at the recent Osaka expo
sition, and will also confer with the offi
cials of the Lewis and Clark Fair regard
ing the transfer of the Japanese exhibit
at St Louis to Portland In 1905.
From Portland Mr. Otsuka will go to
San Francisco, and from there to St.
Louis, where he expects to remain for
more than a year. At Seattle and at
San Francisco, the two points on the Pa
cific Coast which have regular communi
cation with Japan by steamship lines, Mr.
Otsuka will appoint agents who will later
meet all Japanese tourists and supply
them with all necessary information re
garding hotels and transportation in this
country. At the Portland Hotel last night
Mr. Otsuka said:
"There are a great number of our peo
ple who are not well versed in foreign
customs. Even those who are do not, in
many cases, like the American customs,
and I shall try to arrange In St Louis
so that some of the hotels will cater to
our people as they wish. Of course we
will direct those who wish to go to pure
ly American hotels, but I think we will
also be able to have some of the hostleries
where especial attention wljl be paid to
Japanese.
'We shall arrange for the reception of
Japanese visitors at Seattle and San
Francisco upon their arrival. We shall
be able to direct them to hotels and to
plan their itinerary In America. At the
St Louis fair every arrangement will
have been made for the comfort of my
countrymen and they will be given ample
opportunity to see that exposition.
"I have made a number of trips to this
countrj and have visited the larger East
ern cities. This will aid me in directing
the travels of such Japanese as desire
to make a thorough tour of America.
Since I was engaged in a similar work
at Chicago, I believe that the arrange
ments for the entertainment of the Jap
anese visitors will be made thorough. I
am directed to remain In this country
from the present until the St Louis fair
is over.
"My countrj expects to be able to send
to America some of its brightest men.
We believe that the St Louis fair will
give an opportunity to study the advance
made along all lines of industry in this
and other progressive nations. Those
who come to America will Investigate all
lines of trade and manufacture, and will
return benefited by having come into con
tact with American business methods. At
the game time, we feel that Americans
will gain a better impression of Japanese
by meeting our loading men and learn
Ing through them of our country's de
velopment"
Mr. Otsuka is director of the Japanese
Visitors' Welcome Club, which is as near
as the Japanese title can be translated.
It is really an organization something
like a combined board of trade and Im
migration bureau, and Is subsidized by
the Japanese government It includes In
its membership Michio Dio, an Osaka bus
iness man, who is president and a large
number of influential Japanese citizens.
A guide book to the St Louis exposition.
rccompanled by descriptions of routes.
railway and hotel rates and Illustrations
of buildings at the fair, has been Issued
and is being d:ytributed in Japan.
HOW TO LEARN FOOTBALL
Constant
Training: and
Are Essential.
Coaching
October has meant .football ever since
that game has become the great Amer
ican amateur sport In the Eastern States,
where the coming of Fall means the end
of weather so hot that nothing but tennis
thrives, there Is a good reason for the
renewed Interest In more active athletics
at this time of year. Even in our own
moderate climate a touch of frost In the
air stirs the blood in the veins of young
men, and a spectators Interest in profes
sional baseball Is changed into an active
participation in the Autumn sport. The
schools all organize football teams within
a week after the beginning of the new
term, and their first games have already
been played. The clubs and colleges are
also urging all their heavy men to repre
sent them on the gridiron, and a success
ful season is being looked forward to by
all lovers of sport
The Western characteristic, not to take
anything too seriously, hampers the high
est development of the gamevln this part
qf the country. Western men have not
completely realized yet that nothing less
than constant and hard practice will turn
out a good football team. Eastern col
leges are criticised for making work out
of a sport but only by those who de
not realize that team work can only be
obtained by serious application to bus!
ness by the members of a team. "Bill'
Reld, the most successful coach Harvard
ever had, the men who won the Inter
collegiate championship from Yale in 1901,
insisted upon being addressed as Mr.
Reld. when on the field. He allowed no
bantering or horseplay, but made every
man attend strictly to busienss. His
success proves his wisdom. A man may
grit his teetn on tne day of- a game
and be ever so determined to win, but if
he has not looked his man in the eye
every day In practice scrimmages, and
learned how an opponent Is going to
act, all the determination in the world
cannot save him and his team from defeat
Football Is a busienss in this sense,
brilliant playing Is Invaluable, but
thorough training must back It This fact
has not been lost on local teams, but
Same Is rarely seen on the Coast where
every man shows an Individual training
that always places him in the right place
at the right moment Nothing but the
hardest kind of work will teach him this.
Tne spectator does not realize when ho
sees a team slowly but surely forcln
Its opponents down the field that every
movement of each man has become habit
from training, and .the player himself
does not always remember It but the
coach knows why and how a thing is
done.
The way to train a football player Is
seen best early In the season, about this
time of year, at one of the hip American
universities. At Harvard and Yale
squad of over 200 men turn out to try for
the eleven, within a week two complete
teams and promising substitutes are set
tied uton by the coaches. The two elevens
are lined up against each other and put
to work. Men are constantly changed
from one to the other, and gradually
one becomes known as the first team and
the other the second. Even' man is
watched closer than a racehorse and his
points are picked and discussed,
As maVa 25 waS wUl turn outj
two or three hours every afternoon during
an entire season. Among these there will
be three or four men who have played,
and know exactly how to play, every po
sition on the team. The line receives par
ticular attention. Tackles and guards need
the most coaching, not only because they
are generally too large to be quick, but
because their position requires It Backs

just one way to play a line position, and
It takes several years of constant watch
ing and coaching to show a man how to

BRIDE SLEEPS ON FIRE ESCAPE
FRANTIC HUSBAND ROUSES HOTEL IN EFFORTS TO
FIND HER NOVEL HONEYMOON EXPERIENCE
Chicago Chronicle, October 7.
Mrs. Montgomery Sears Butler, a Bos
ton Md( snent the first nlgnt ot ner
honeymoon on a fire escape at the Vic
toria hotel.
Montgomery Sears Butler, tne nusDano.
of the Boston bride, spent the night
roaming the streets, striding up and down
the hotel corridor, wandering through
the hotel halls In fact, everywhere 3ave
in tho bridal chamber.
Incidentally when the bride was found
perched on the lowest round, of the fire
escape men were ungallant enough to
make remarks about a woman who chose
to spend the night clinging o the side
of a building.
Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery Sears But
ler are prominent in Boston. At least
that is what their friends say. The bridge
groom showed that he was willing to give
his wife the best when they arrived at
the Victoria hotel Monday night
"The finest suite in the house," he said
to Clerk McHenry.
"Sure," said the clerk, and gave them
tho keys to room No. 313.
It was about 11 o'clock when the bride
groom and brldo left the lobby. An hour
later the bridegroom roturned to the
clerk.
"Havo you seen her?" he queried, and
he was excited, too.
"Who?" naturally asked the clerk.
"Why, my wife."
Then the clerk looked at the bride
groom. Ho wore a bathrobe. What else
the clerk could not tell.
"No," he answered finally.
"Well, she has deserted me."
"So soon?" from the clerk.
"Well, she's gone."
The clerk did not know just what to
do.
"Well, do you want to find her?" he
asked at last
"Do I want to find her? Why. man, sh
must be found. Maybe she's been kid
naped." All the bell boys were called. Instruc
tions were Issued and they were about to
begin the hunt when the bridegroom
shouted;
"And there's $10 to the boy who brings
a trace of her. and ?20 to the man that
finds her."
The boys needed no other incentive.
They went along the halls shouting her
name. Guests were awakened and asked
If they had seen her. Sympathizing
women joined In the hunt For an hour
the hotel was crowded by amateur de
tectives. But no trace of the bride was
found.
"The lake," finally shouted the hus
band. "Have to wait until morning," said
Clerk McHenry. And he spent the re
mainder of tho night trying to calm the
bridegroom. Day was breaking when, a
brcwf"-v wagon stopped at the hotel.
"Well, what do you think of that?" and
the driver pointed to the fire escape.
"Say, they must be doing an awful
business," came from a pedestrian.
"Well, It's a cinch that she'll escape If
there's a fire," from another. Clerk Mc
Henry began another investigation, this
time to see what the second trouble was.
He saw a woman asleep on the last round
of the fire escape.
oay, now was your wire dressed?" he
the bridegroom.
THEIR OPINIONS WANTED
GRANGES OF WASHINGTON AND
OREGON ASKED TO MEET HERE.
Question. of Bringing; National
Grange Convention to Portland
la 1005 Will Be Discussed.
There are two Important questions be
fore the Granges of Oregon and Wash-
Lnston - The secuilnS
the National
Grange to meet In Portland In 1905 and the
providing of a special exhibit and head
quarters at the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition. It Is expected that both these
questions will come Op before a meeting
of delegates to be held In the Chamber
of Commerce Novembor A. This meeting
' , T ... -.
Oregon and Washington. Mrs. H. L. Vail,
secretary of the general committee, sent
to elect one delegate each and send him
or her, as the case may be, to this meeting
in the Chamber of Commerce. Those who
cannot send delegates are requested to
send letters expressing their sentiments
one way or the other.
While the movement was started pri
marily to discuss the question of having
a special display and headquarters, the
question of securing the National Grange
for Portland for 1905 will be considered.
At the last meeting of the State Grange
resolutions were passed Indorsing the ef
fort to get the National Grange here at
that time. The subordinate Granges gen-
erally have approved of the movement
but no action has yet been taxen. Airs.
Edith Tozier Weatherred In her talks
before the Granges has urged that there
be a concert of action to get the National
Grance to come here. She has urged the
members to make It a point to write,
personal letters to friends in tne iast
on the subject and solicit tneir aia in tne
matter. One thing that Is largely In
favor of the success of the movement Is
the visit of National Master Aaron Jones
last year. He formed a very favorable
imnrcsslon of Oregon and wasmngton
and It Is believed that Mr. Jones will favor
holding the National convention in i'ort-
land in 1905. He is the moat powerful
nersonace In the farmers order today.
and If he can be won over to the move
ment there will be easy sailing. Tho con
ventions of the National Grange are
much sought after by the cities of the
East and if this effort is to succeed the
Granges of Oregon and "Washington will
have to be up and doing. The Grange
order has advanced rapidly within tho
nast ten years In intelligence and practi
cal methods. This Is attributed to the
closer relations between the city and
countrv brought about by the suburban
trolley, the telephone and the rural free
mall delivery. In Oregon many business
men nre becoming members or tne urange.
The National Grange will bring to .fort-'
land In 1905 a very desirable class.
GKESHAM MAT INCORPORATE.
Signs of Growth Sure to Come Be
fore Loner.
It Is considered probable that Gresham,
the central point and town of Powell Val
ley, will Incorporate in the near future.
It has grown rapidly since work was
started on the Sprlngwater branch of the
Oregon Water Power & Railway Com
pany, and has made rapid strides the past
few months. New houses have been going
ud all around, and many more are pre
lected. A business man at Gresham
said yesterday:
"We will probably be Incorporated with
in a year at least for we must have pro
tection here against the rough element
and besides we are growing rapidly. The
Oregon Water Power & Railway Company
has established a -sub-power station at
Gresham and from there we will. get elec
tric lights. That will be a great thing for
us. Only a temporary depot has been
established here so far, but the railway
company will establish a first-class depot
after a time. The countrj' surrounding
Gresham is growing rapidly. It Is a rich
country. The sawmills, which have been
cutting ties will cut lumber for shipment
to Portland. It has been a great waste
of fine timber to cut ties out of trees
"In her nightgown," answered the hus
band. "Have you any tidings of her?"
The clerk led him to Van Buren street
"That's she." shouted the man from
Boston, end he would have shouted at the
woman had not the clerk restrained him.
"Don't The shock might awaken her
and then she would fall. We must be
mighty careful. She's found, but not yet
saved.
Then he ran for a blanket Four men
caught the four corners and the blanket
was held beneath the sleeping figure,
"Now call her softly," advised the
clerk.
"Oh, Harriet" called the man from Bos
ton. The woman yawned.
"Oh, I am so hungry," she said. Then
she became fully awake. Her husband
shouted Instructions to her. But they
were unnecessary. When she saw, the
crowd below and then saw her nightgown
sne got away quickly enoucrh.
, She explained to her husband afterward
tnat sne walked in her sleep and that she
probably left their room
down on the fire escape and when she
nmi in J j.
came to the last round and could go no
lanner sat aown and continued her nap.

the basement the concrete floor has been
laid, and part of the heater delivered.
Conqrete walks havo been completed to
East Harrison and Stephens streets, and
on East Seventh street a concrete side
walk Is being laid the entire length of
the school ground. The work of the school
goes forward under difficulties, owing to
the crowded condition of the rooms,
which will only be relieved when the four
extra rooms are occupied. At the North
Central school work on the eight-room
annex Is along about as far as ati the
Stephens building.

Floneer of Negro Mctb.odl.nm.
The presiding elder of the San Francisco
district, A. M. E. ZIon church, is prob
ably better known than any representa
tive of the negro race on the Coast He
camo out here in 1SS5, when the colored
Methodists could only boast of three
churches on the Pacific Coast, and he has
had a hand in the building ot each of the
22 which they have today. He first be
came well known to the. general public of
his stato on the occasion of his oration
on Colored American day at the Mid
Winter Fair. He is a good speaker and a
natural wit, and always able to keep the
attention of his audience.
Among the negroes Rev. Mr. Brown Is
known as the watchdog of the confer
ences, for no detail escapes him. He might
be called the racial historian of the coast
In the past 17 years he has delivered more
than 1000 sermons and addresses. Mr.
Brown says he loves all mankind, but he

Dogs Keep a Smithy's Fire Bright.
New Y'ork Mall and Express.
On an uptown street, on the east side
of the city, hundreds of people dally
pause at a blacksmith's shop to watch
three large and intelligent Newfoundland
dogs, which are employed by the brawny
smlth to work the bellows of the forge3
of his shop. In one corner of the shop Is
a wooden wheel about eight feet In diam
eter, and wide enough for a dog to stand.
In. When the wheel Is at rest the dog
stands In much the same, position as the
horse In a child's rocker, with Its head
always turned toward the forge, awaiting
orders. "When told to "go ahead" the
beast on duty at once starts on a brisk
trot which makes the wheel turn around
rapidly, and by means of a crank and

lever the power Is conveyed to the bel

Intelligence that people are never weary
of watching the efforts of the animals to
keep the smithy's fires bright Each dog
works In the wheel for one hour and then
rests for two. They cost their owner
about $2 a week each for feed, and he
estimates that they save him 512 a week,
as otherwjse it would require at least the
services of two men or a small engine to
do their work.
CUSTOMS OF PERSIA.
Dr. ICo.ilinhn Explnlns Tlicm by Aid
of His Wedding; Clothes.
Attired In a quaint Persian costume,
which was to have been his wedding cos
tume, Dr. Joseph Koshaha, a native of
Persia, appeared before an audience of
boys that filled the lecture-room of the
Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon, and gave
them an Interesting address on his native
land and the incidents of his own life.
Dr. Koshaha was a striking and interest
ing figure as he stood before the audience.
His swarthy complexion and peculiar ac
cent stamped him as a son of the Orient,
and his dress to those who are acquainted
with Old World styles, marked him a
1 Persian. The suit was of a bluish-green
color. The coat was of the Prince Albert
cut, with the exception that the skirts
were tucked at the waist and flared at the
bottom. A colored vest of Oriental de
sign formed a striking contrast to the
coat and trousers.
This queer suit, as the speaker Informed
his listeners, has a romantic history. Some
eight or nine yoars ago, when Joseph
Koshaha was Just an ordinary citizen of
Persia, he fell In love witha Persian girl.
The courtship progressed until all ar
rangements were made for the wedding.
The young man had purchased his green
suit for the occasion. When all was in
readiness, the groom-to-be happened to
hear some missionaries tell of America
and the opportunities there for a young
man to gain an education and accomplish
great things in life. He at once became
Imbued with the desire to visit that coun
try and study medicine. .
But, as Dr. Koshaha related to the boys,
he knew that If he married he could not
go away and study, as he desired to do.
It was a battle between love and a desire
for knowledge. It was a hard fight, the
doctor said, but desire for knowledge
gained the day. He gave up tho object
ot his affections, left his home and friends
and, making his wedding suit serve for a
traveling costume, started for America.
When he landed here he could speak but
three words of English, but he persevered
until able to enter a medical school In
St. Paul, where he took a course In medi
cine and graduated with the title of M. D.
"I have kept this suit," said Dr. Ko
shaha, "to remind me of what I sacrificed
In order to gain an .education, and I al
ways wear It when I deliver an address."
Dr. Koshaha gave the boys an Interest
ing account of the dally life of the Per
sians of both the high and low classes,
describing their peculiar customs and
manners. At the close of the address he
called upon the boys to ask him any ques
tions they desired about Persia, and the
majority of those present availed them
selves of the opportunity. They voted an
Invitation to the doctor to give them an
other address In the near future.
At the mtn's meeting, which was In
progress at the same, time, Gabriel's can
tata, "The Nazarlne, was rendered by
Professor F. C. Streyffler's chorus of 23
voices. A large audience was present,
and the story of the Christ, told In song,
was listened to with Interested attention.
The music of the cantata Is of a high class
and It was well rendered by the singers.
The story of Christ's sojourn upon the
earth is told In solo, duet, quartet and
chorus music from the time of his birth
to his resurrection from the dead." The
cantata ends with the rendition of "Glo
ria In Excelsls."
LITERARY BOOSTING.
How the Author Should Advertise
Himself to Bringr Results.
Michael Wrhlte in The Reader.
It is In the author himself that one must
look for the best advertising medium of
the future. In these days mere para
graphs In the literary supplements an
nouncing that Mr. Wilcox Toast has gone
to Iowa for local color do not suffice. The
public would much prefer to see him doing,
something more intelligible riding a black
horse up and down Fifth avenue, for in
stance. In such a way he might combine
personal advertisement with the gathering

ficial, and the cheers of the crowd most

ability to "keep in line," they might be
provided with carriages. But what an op

would be a triumph of the old Roman
kind for literature.

BEGIN GYMNASIUM WORK
RECORD-BREAKING ATTENDANCE
AT Y. 31. C. A. CLASSES.
Five Hundred Men and Boys Are
Taking; Physical Culture Courses
Under Trained Instructor.
The Portland Y. M. C. A. has begun
gymnasium work for the Winter with tho
phenomenal attendance of over 500, a
number which increases ,daily. Such a
large body of candidates for physical cul
ture can only be handled In groups and
squads, divided according to age, occu
pation and ability. There are-classes for
boys, working boys, students, business
men, young men and women. The busi
ness men have turned out In the great
est number, over 200 having already reg
istered. Instructor Babbitt takes espe
cial Interest In the working boys, who
will grow up under his attention Into
clean, healthy men. There are In all 22
classes a week doing regular gymnastc
work, besides the tumbling, wrestling and
fencing squads.
Obviously such a heterogeneous collec
tion cannot all be put through the same
exercises In the same way, nor can they
all have due attention from the gym
nasium Instructor. Mr. Babbitt has met
this need by a characteristically practical
expedient. He called for volunteer assist
ant Instructors to the number of 12. The
response was prompt and enthusiastic.
He has chosen his men, given his instruc
tions and Is now breaking them In to the
work. Every Monday evening he gathers
them together for dinner, talks t6 them
on subjects of physical culture, and later
teaches them drilling, marching and cal
isthenics. This Instruction they pass on
to their squads of eight and ten during
the week. The advantages of tho sys
tem are apparent. The volunteer instruct
ors have classes small enough to handle.
They become acquainted with the Indi
viduals, familiarize themselves with their
various examination charts, and under
stand their needs and ability. These vol
unteers also conduct classes at the AI
blna and Sunnyslde Boys' Brigade and
the Jewish boys manual training class.
A business men's club has been formed
with separate lockers and boths and. up-,
holstered lounglng-room. Twenty-five
dollars a year Is charged to the members
of the club to keep up the steam bath
and pay the wages of the strainer they
Intend to have. The boys are also being
separated from the grown members, and
Will soon have a locker-room by them
selves. All grades and classes have their
own hours for the use of the gymnasium
and the big 60-foot swimming pool.
The Y. M. C. A. athletes do not conflno
their physical work to gymnastics. Every
year they organize basket-ball. Indoor
baseball and handball teams and competo
with other athletic organizations and
clubs for the honors. Just now the hand
ball court Is very busy In preparation for
the coming tournament. The fencing club
will organize next Saturday evening.
Mr. Babbitt Is a decidedly good man for
physical director. He Is young, but has
had excellent training. Two years ago
he was graduated In a four-year course at
the Western Institute of Physical Edu
cation of Chicago, and since then he has
been taking a special course for gymnas
ium teachers at the medical school of tho
North Western University. During tho
last two years he has conducted physical
work in the boys' clubs.
BOOKKEEPER IS MISSING.
Ehren M. Korten Deposits Money In
Bnnlc and Disappears.
Ehren M. Korten, a bookkeeper for VT,
J. Van Schuyver & Co.. is missing, and
his employers are unable to learn anything
of his whereabouts. The last seen of Am.
according to the statements of those who
know him well, was on Friday last when
he deposited a sum of money with one
of the banks. After doing this he dis
appeared. W. J. Van Schuyver will say nothing
to contradict the rumors concerning tho
bookkeeper's disappearance which are
floating about town.
"I haven't anything to say to the news
papers," said he late last evening.
The disappearance of Korten was made
known to the police, but they have found
no trace of the missing man. Korten lived
I at 7S2 Kelly street, but no one was in tne
dwelling last evening.
Pine Needle Factory at La Grande.
LA GRANDE, Or.. Oct. 11. (Special.)
La Grande Is to have a pine needle fac-
torv. Attorney Turner Oliver, of JL.a
i Grande, has secured a controlling Inter
est In the Oregon Pine Needle Fiber
Company, which has headquarters at
Grant's Pass, and has a manufactory
there. The factory at Grant's Pass was

factory will be built at Summenille. This
factory will have a capacity of 2500 pounds
of fiber a day, and will coat $75 a day In
the way of expense, this mostly In labor.
This will call for the establishment of
a large mattress factory In La Grande, as
the fiber Is used for upholstering and
making mattresses. An old Quaker at
Grant's Pass has Invented a machine for
making the fiber, and this machine will
be used In the factory at Summervllle.
