COLD STORAGE OF FRUITS
The Palace of Horticulture at the
"Wprld's Fair Is almost finished. It Is the
largest building ever erected at any ex
jKwltion for the reception of fruits and
flowers. The plans of exhibitors are
sufficiently advanced to warrant the as
sertion that the displays will be far
more attractive and complete than were
ver assembled at any world's lair.
In thje handsome bulldlngr little else
than irults'and flowers will find place.
Tegeta"bles will be shown in the Palace
9f Agriculture, which is the adjoining
bIWIng on the north. The Palace of
Horticulture is surrounded by beautiful
gardens, showing the choicest collections
out-door plants and flowers, while the
conservatories will contain the rarest
and most beautiful collections ever ex
hibited at a world's fair.
The main room of the Palace of Hor
ticulture, which covers an area of four
acres, will be entirely devoted to the
Pomological exhibits. This large area is
practically twice the area that has been
devoted to fresh fruit exhibits at any
exposition, and the floor space is so ar
ranged that all of It Is good exhibit
space. There are no main aisles running
throueh the building, but the space is
4 cut up Into irregular sections, with the
aisles running in ail directions, ana oy
this means the visitors are evenly dis
tributed throughout the building.
One of the requirements to be com
piled with before ppace Is assigned to any
state or country Is that sufficient evidence
be furnished the chief of the department
that there will be enough fruit placed In
6torage to :over the entire space on the
opening day of the Exposition, and
enough In reserve to keep up a continuous
exhibit.
Chief Taylor recently Issued a 40-page
circular that contains much of Interest
to fruit-growers. It gives a detailed de
ficription of the building and surrounding
grounds, and contains valuable informa
tion on the cold storage of fruits. The
fact that cold storage fruit will be used
in all the exhibits will give an oppor
tunity for Investigations that are sure
to be interesting. The effect of cold
storage on different varieties of apples
will bear investigation, and the differ
ence of the behavior of the same variety
from different sections of the country
"will bring out some interesting results.
In addition to the extensive exhibits
that will be made by the states and for
""clgH, countries a collective exhibit will
be maintained under the direct charge

HITCHINGS IS A. HOODOO
Lawyer Paya "Visit to Police Station
and Bedlam Breaks Loose.
It all began because John H. Hitchlngs,
a lawyer, is a hoodoo.
Among the policemen on station duty
there Is a tradition that whenever Hitch
lngs drops into the station something Is
scheduled to cdme off immediately after.
And so it proved last night. The attorney
who is allied with fate thought he had a
ctse of lockjaw last evening, and went to
the Btatlon for aid. No sooner had he
been doctored up with some liniment ad
ministered by Patrol Driver Price, and
which Is the special concoction of ."Box
Car Casey," though Hitchlngs didn't know
that, than everythtlng possible began to
happen.
C. B. Kernan, arrested In Salem on a
charge of embezzlement, was brought in
by Detective Hartman, who had gone
after him. Kernan is wanted for the al
leged embezzlement of a large sum of
money from A. C. Lindsay. He Is also
said to have stolen a bicycle from F. T.
Merrill.
Then the patrol wagon went out half a
dozen times to bring persons In need of
the gold euro. Beer and whisky of un
usually fearful ' quality seems to have
been dispensed last evening, for there
were fights a-plenty.
Not often Is there a real live fight be
tween officers and prisoners In the police
station Itself. But it happened last night
when Joseph McCarty was brought In for
fighting In Fritz's saloon on Burnside
street, McCarty was being searched,
when In walked W. Henery, a friend of
the man arrested.
For snatching at the articles as soon
as they were removed from McCarty's
pockets by Officer Gassett. Henery got
into trouble. It ended by Captain Bailey
sitting on Henery'g hea ..ich had Just
before come In violent contaact with tho
cement floor, while Ga?ett was busy hold
ing down McCarty, who wanted to renew
the fight with any one In sight.
F. Hugerenn came in after a few min
utes with a tale of woe. Gladys Williams,
a North End girl, ha.d robbed him of $30,
so he said. She was arrested and locked
up. Hugerean thought that was all there
was to It, and was unpleasantly surprised
when he was lo locked up as a witness
because he couldn't furnish bail.
The jail was filled with all the steady
lodgers, and these resented the disturb
ance raised by the newcomers, who cried
loudly for freedom. So for four hours
there were curses, yells and Indignant
threats exchanged. The old lodgers want
ed to sleep; those who had never been In
Jail before wanted very much to get out.
At 1 o'clock the record was broken with
a list of 22 arrests and 14 wagon calls.
"And it Is all Hitchlngs' fault," said
the weary policemen. "He -was here Just
a few minutes before the fire Saturday
night."

Rapid progress has been made on the
Illinois building at the World's Fair. It
is being built on a high hill on Bklnker
road, east of the Agricultural building.
The framework is already up, and the
graceful outlines of the building may be
plainly seen from almost any point In the
western section of the grounds.
Queen Victoria's Jubilee presents, which
will bo shown at the World's Fair, aro
stored in the vaults of a safe deposit com
pany at St. Louis. En route they were
constantly guarded by troops. When they

by a squad of police, who never lost sight
of them until they were securely locked
in the vaults.
"Labor and Care" is the title of a tym
panum executed for the Machinery build
ing of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
by Fernando Miranda. The sculptor has
portrayed In this work two figures which
express in a picturesque manner various
ideas connected with the general theme
of machinery. It Is an original and meri
torious conception.
R. Hlnton Perry has completed the stat
uary which ho was commissioned to exe
cute for the World's Fair at St. Louis,
and the models have been sent to Mr.
Karl Bitter, chief of sculpture, for en
largement. They consist of groups of two
athletic figures supporting a globe, and
are to be used on the corners of tho Pal
ace of Machinery at the Fair. They aro
of a very decorative nature and will form
most pleasing ornamentations to this
splendid Exposition building.
Miss Julia M. Bracken, of Chicago, a
talented woman sculptor, was commis
sioned by Chief of Sculpture Karl Bitter
to execute for the Louisiana Purchase Ex
position a statue of that leading figure in
American history, and especially in the
history of the Louisiana purchase, James
Monroe. The model for the large figure
is now completed and has been sent, to
the workshop at Wcehawken, N. J., for
enlargement to the required size. It rep
resents the statesman in a characteristic
and striking attitude, and Is a fine por
trayal of a strong character. Those who
have seen the model speak of It as a
most meritorious work. The statue will
stand on one of the avenues leading to
Art Hill, on the grounds of the Exposi
tion. '
ST. LOUIS FAIR DISPLAY
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
IS PREPARING DISPLAY.
In Several Departments It Is the
Best Ever Collected in
the State.
ALBANY, Or., Oct. 18. (Special.)-The
great agricultural exhibit for the state of
Oregon at the St. Louis Purchase Exposi
tion Is rapidly assuming shape under the
management of J. R. Douglas, of Albany.
In some departments the display Is com
plete, and Is pronounced the best ever
collected in the state. This Is particularly
true of the horticultural specimens.
The fruits have been carefully
picked from the best specimens se
cured In different sections of the state,
and have been preserved In specially pre
pared bottles, which show Ihe fruit to the
best advantage. Such fruits as apples,
which will be taken as gathered from
the trees, will of course not be secured
until later. In all, Mr. Douglas has In
his collection 1050 bottles of fruit, the
bottles ranging in size from one-half gal-
ion to inree gallons. Tins, ne tninks, is
the best display of canned fruits he has
"ever seen.
There aro over 1500 bunches of grains
on the stalk. The best varieties of wheat,
barley, oats, etc, are represented by ex
cellent specimens. In the display of
grasses there are 500 bunches. Of shelled
grain there is only about one-third the
amount needed. Mr. Douglas Is very de
sirous that farmers having excellent sam
pies or snelled grains would send him
small quantities of It. This has been one
of the best years in the history, of the
valley for all agricultural products, tho
grain in all cereals was large and plump.
and the display of these should be above
tho average, even for Oregon. The col
lector says the display of corn and po
tatoes is aiso a little shy. Samples of
both these can be saved until the Fair.
and should be sent In this, the banner
year for farmers.
The Oregon exhibit will be particularly
strong In hops and flax. The latter article
is beginning to assume some importance
in certain sections of Linn and Marion
counties, and growers of it claim they
can furnish material for a flax dhrolav
that will he unsurpassed. This has been
a great year for hops, and the .collection
in tne Oregon exhibit accords with this
year's fcutput. In the exhibit are four
large bales' and 50 small square bales of
tne nnest samples.
Most of the Oregon exhibit is stored in
the pavilion at the State Fair grounds.
It is not yet known whether the disnlav
will bo arranged in Oregon and shipped
to St. Louis ready to be put in place,
or whether it will be sent to the Fair city
and there arranged as it will appear In
the exhibit. This will be determined when
v. u. wehrung and Jefferson Myers re
turn from St. Louis.

plaints where condemnatory proceedings
are instituted, describing the property,
eta, with the exception of only one point,
and this may prove to be a very Intricate
one, at least Mr. Crawford does not feel
exactly at ease over It. There is no ques

The only parties contending tho right

HUXGRY IXDIANS TEIREATETf.
Trouble Is Feared on tke Blackfoot
Reservation.
GREAT FALLS, Mont., Oct 19. News
was received from St. Marys today of
the murder of an Indian known as Cold
"Water, near that place. The Indian's
horse returned saddled and bridled to his
camp, and an investigation resulted in
the- discovery of his body a few miles dis
tant, there being a bullet hole In the body.
It is reported that the murder was com
mitted by another Indian, the two hav
ing quarreled concerning a squaw. A
shooting affray between a cattleman and
an Indian cattle thief on the Blackfoot
reservation is also reported, but the re
port cannot at present be verified.
In a letter to the Great Falls Trib
une, John Anderson, one of the leading
citizens of Cut Banks, says:
aome of the Indians on the Blackfoot
reservation are threatening startingxout
on a course of depredation, burning barns,
horses and destroying property in gen
eral. Along the foot of the mountains
they are In a suffering condition, being
in want of something to eat. If some
thing Is not done for them, eomo one will
have to suffer for it. It Is thought that
the late murders on Two Medicine Creek
were Just a starter. It Is a fact that
many of them go to bed hungry. There
Is no work to be. done whereby they can
earn anything, and they grow nothing
eatable, as fhey have-not yet learned to
do so. . It will take a first-class farmer to
make a living off the land on any part
of the reservation that I have seen, and
he is liable to 'go to bed hungry some
times.
Recently orders were received from
"Washington to cut off all rations from
Indians who could be made self-support
ing and this action of the- department Is
believed to have added to the dissatis
faction prevailing among the Blackfoot
Indians.

FATHER RESCUES SON
TEJT-YEAR-OLD BOY LIVED TWO
YEARS IX DAD LANDS.
AnRnst Bortheson, of Dozeman,
Mont., Finds Hi Child In VI
cions Surroundings.
After two years of life In the North End
of Portland, a life which left its marks, of
premature wisdom upon his little face.
Jerome Bortheson.10 years old, was yester
day returned to his father, August Borth
eson, of Bozeman, Mont.
How the youngster came to live two
years In the Bad Lands of this city in
stead of with his father in Montana, Is the
story of a wife's unfaithfulness, and a
mother's strange deed in taking her little
son to witness her degradation. Mrs.
Bortheson left Bozeman with Jerome two
years ago, ostensibly to visit friends in
California. As her husband is a well-to-
do man of the Montana town, she left
home with $4000. She never reached Cali
fornia. The Bad'-Lands of Portland held
out its 'fascinating arms to her, and for
getting her husband hundreds of miles
away, and regardless of the precious
charge in her care, she stayed in Port
land, and is now regarded by the officers
as a woman of the town.
Together with little Jerome she has been
living in tho neighborhood of- Second and
Burnside streets. The child roamed tho
Whitechapel district with pleasure.- When
found yesterday by Officer Hawley, of the
Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, he was a
weazened, worldly-wise, youngster, a
gamin of the streets, and disreputable
streets at that
. But separated as he had been for two
years rrom his father, his childish mem
ory was strong, and he recognized his
parent Instantly.
"Oh, papa, I'm so glad," he cried, and
ran to his father's arms.
When seen at the police station Mr.
Bortheson had with him another little
son, a fow years younger than Jerome.
Though the kinship was apparent by the
features, the life the older boy had led
had Indelibly stamped itself upon his ex
pression, so while one was an innocent
child tho other looked like an old man.
"And you're glad to find your papa?"
asked Officer Hawley. 1
The happy little boy snuggled close up
to his father's side, and nodded his head
vigorously.
"And you don't want to go back to your
mother? continued the officer.
The suggestion made the lines about his
old-young eyes deepen. He shook his
head and nestled closer to his father for
protection.
Two hours later Mr. Bortheson and his
two little boys were seen about the Third
street stores. In place of the little street
Arab which had been seen at the polico
station was a clean, well-dressed boy, new
ly outfitted from heel to crown. Burnsldo
street had been washed off him, and what
was left had been covered over with new
clothes. Mr. Bortheson returns to Mon
tana today.

A Woman Makes Students Over.
A lady who used a famous food for con
venience made a discovery that she tells
of as follows:
"I had been sick fora long time and
was a nervous wreck suffering from head
ache, faintness, distended stomach, palpi
tation and great heart disturbances.
"Two physicians said that I had val
vular trouble of the heart. It was then a
widow living alone and was often too 111
to get my meals; hearing of Grape-Nuts
as a ready-cooked food I purchased a
package for convenience only, thinking It
would at least keep me from starving.
"It was delicious and after a week's
diet with little beside Grape-Nuts and
cream I had improved so as to be a won
der to myself. Then I took on Postum
Coffee in place of tea and.coffee and con
finued the steady use of both Grape-Nuts
and Postum. This was a year ago and
today I am a well woman for my heart
disease Is gone along with all my other
bad symptoms.
"Some time ago I took charge of a
Boarding Club of students of our Uni
versity and following their instructions I
gave them luncheons made up of biscuits
or light bread, cold meat and coffee. The
result on the students was that many of
them suffered from headaches, dulness
and Inability to apply themselves to study
after luncheon.
"I know that the trouble was the wrong
selection of food and it was lohg before
I persuaded some or tnom to take only
Grape-Nuts with cream for funcheon.
This worked like a charm and one after
another followed the example until now

Miss Hickman, who was a fully quali

her duties at the free hospital on the
afternoon of August 15, when she left the
hospital. Since that time the police of
