WICHITA, Kan., Oct. 19. Such an ova
tion as was given Cresceus when he trot
ted a mile In 1:59 today and made a
tt TrnrH's record, has been rarely wit-
e'red to death, so eager were the people
to pat or get near enough to touch him.
The day was simply perfect, and the track
In prime condition. He was paced by a
running mate, Mike the Tramp, to a
eulky. Cresceus had no windbreak what
ever. The first quarter was made in 30
seconds, the half In the three-quarters
in 1:20. and the mile in 1:59&
George H. Ketcham, who owns Cres
ceus and who drove him today, said:
"This is the best track out of doors,
and the conditions were perfect. When I
was here week before last the track was
wet, but I saw Its advantages and de
termined to come back. The result justi
fied my expectations. I knew before the
race that the stallion would beat his rec
ord, but I did not anticipate a triumph
so complete. I shall go to Oklahoma City
and Fort Scott right away to keep en
gagements, and that will be the last time
he will appear in public"

TEAM IS "WEAKENED.
Fate Seems Agalnxt Willamette
University.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem,
Or., Oct.: 19. (Special.) Although the
students of Willamette University are
making every effort to put out a winning
football team, fate seems to be against
them. Lioyd Marquam, Willamette's best
end, and one of the stars of the team, re-
.cently fell from a scaffolding and broke
lis. ankle, injuring it ao seriously that
hevmust keep off the field this season.
Last Wednesday In a friendly scuffle on
the campus Ralph Zercher, the famous
all-Northwestern guard, sustained
Pott's fracture, and will not wear a suit
again this year. Today Hlnkle, the 'var
sity's new halfback, became sick and has
returned home. He says he will not
come back this term.
The 'varsity feels these losses heavllv,
and although they are making strenuous
efforts to be ready for the game with
Monmouth next Saturday and the Uni
versity of Oregon game in Eugene, Oc
tober 31, still the team is sure to bo
weakened.

WHITMAN COLLEGE. Oct 19. (Spe
cial.) Although their light little team
showed up pretty well Saturday in the
game with the Spokane High School,
Whitman football enthusiasts are not
very confident of winning the game with
the Unli-ersity of Washington In Seattle
next Saturday. The game 6howed that
Whitman's team, although even faster
than was thought, was pretty light to
do much against a 'varsity team. The
team that leaves for Seattle next Thurs
day will not average over 150 pounds to
the man.
On the other hand, the team will be
immensely strengthened by the addition
r ,ainard -as quarter and field captain.
He has been out of the game for a -week,
but will be all right again tomorrow. Ho

guishing himself by his heady work last
year, wiiey Lasater win prooaoiy uo

Washington University's Team.
UNIVERSITY OP WASHINGTON. Se
attle, Oct. 19. (Special.) Next Saturday
the University of Washington will open
Its home Intercollegiate season. It Is
the belief that the coming game against
Whitman College will be a comparative
ly easy one. Last year Washington won
from Whitman by a score of 11-5. The
university's back field Is now in fairly
good shape. Fred M'Elmon la at right
halfback, with Strauss at left and Lantz
at full. This combination, together with
Captain Speldell, should make one of the
strongest set of backs In the Northwest.
Hill and TIbbals at the end positions
are doing good work, and as this is the
second year that the boys have worked
under Knight, it Is expected by the col
legians that they will put up an exhi
bition of championship ball. At center,
Owen Crim is doing good work, and the
coach expects to have him develop Into
fully as strong a man as Schorer. The
guards are now the most uncertain quan
tity. STAYS THE LIMIT WITH GANS.

WHAT IS A KNOCKER?
He. Serves a Useful Purpose Though
Not Alvrays Intentionally.
PORTLAND. Oct. 19. (To the Editor.)
Never a jrenlus that has helped the
world along but has had to do some vig
orous knocking. Whoso would disparage
the knocker sots himself against progress.
To -he sure, there Is a knocking that
is whollv unnroductlve of good the knock
ing of malice and envy. And yet, were it
not for the high, fierce joy a leuow aas
in achieving things In spito of the de
tractor, the backbiter, the knocker, now
much of Incentive would be gone from
effort? The essence of the exultation of
victory, after the achievement Itself, is
showincr the fellow who told you yoa
could not (and who hoped in his heart
vou would not) do It, that you coma,
and had done it. The knocker is neces
sary to prod us on. If everybody told us
we -were all the mustard, we'd soon be
gin to believe it, sit- down and do notn
in. The fellow who knocks you hard
est is your best friend! In a broad sense,
knocking never yet succeeded of itself.
The man -who falls must be in the con-
Rnlmrr aeralnst himself. The backbiter
does little real harm or the slanderer
oithM-r the hurt does not come from
them. The thing that hurts is the truth,
and If a knocker tells things about you
that are true, you should proceed to cor
rect the fault. He Is your friend in fact,
though your enemy in intent, The
knocker is not a pleasant being at all.
but neither Is the snake or the worm, yet
they fulfill some valuable purpose In the
scheme of things. Criticism is knocking,
yet but for criticism we should have no
advancement.
Knocks are a valuable part of the men
tn! nnc Tihvrfeal training a man must
have to fit him for the work to be done.
The knocker at his best Is the man who
sends the world along; at his worst he is
the fellow who keeps the knocker for truth
up to his best. Let our good people knock
In the same old way I Let ine KnocKer
knock the knocker In his pride of heart,
onlv that he knocks righteously! Let each
knocker knock away, and if he doesn't
knock the Tight thing in the right way.
we mav be sure that the thing knocked
wllL come back at him somo day and
knock him out. Therefore, let the knock
ing nropfied. and "damned be he who
first cries 'Hold, enough.' "
Do I meet many knockers who are op-
nosed to the 1905 Fair? Well, yes, a few.
But then they so entmea io ineir indi
vidual opinions, and have a right to ex
nress them. Reasons? Well, the prin
clpal reason is the increase in rent ior
both business property ana aweiungs
without an adequate Increase, they say,
of Inoome,
Then there are people who are opposed
to the present Fair site. It should have
been here or there, principally there,
where It would best serve the individual
Interests of the objector. Various rea
sons are advanced which, from the view
point, of the person advancing same, aro
rood. It Is well known tnat .roruana
holds a peculiar position on the coast.
Our people are divided among themselves.
In the city we lack enthusiasm an es
sential to success in any enterprise. The
state, outside of the city. Is against us,
They think we derive all- the benefits of
their labor, and when we undertake to
promote any enterprise of mutual benefit
to the entire state, the people act sui
lenly and hold back. A current of thought
Is a positive force, just as much as a cur
rent of electricity. Electric power can te
generated and directed, and stored, if
necessary; then why not generate a cur
rent of thought in the minds of the poo
jle which shall bring success to any move
ment calculated to promote, tne puduc
welfare. Such a current of thought
springing simultaneously from a- multi
tude of minds is an irresistible force, and
that Is the force we want to make the
Fair a success.
The State of Washington is a little
Jealous of us, and Inclined. to knock. Its
people aro our detractors whenever an
opportunity presenTs itself. Idaho Is re
moved from us by distance, and as the
conditions there in the way of climate,
crops and other resources are the same
as our own, she naturally" is looking east
ward for a market for her product, and for
capital for her mines. And it Is the same
with Montana and Utah. California, on
the south, is Jealous of our growth. She
owned Oregon for years before railroad
facilities placed us in position to help our
selves, and now she Is not disposed to
help us when we are drawing atten
tion from California to ourselves. Brit
ish Columbia is removed from us on ac
count of tariff duties, but apparently
there Is a kindlier feeling there toward
us than anywhere on the -coast
This does not signify that our sister
states are knocking us. They are look
ing out for their own interests. They
are very properly building up and develop
ing their own resources and Industries.
So, summing up our position in brief: We
must do for ourselves; the success of
the Fair in accomplishing all that we
desire that It shall accomplish, rests with
us, ourselves, here in Portland; we must
draw to us the favoring thought-forces
frqhi all directions, and thus bind, with
the bonds fit friendship and good-will, all
the Coast States into one great common
wealth for our mutual benefit
Another important feature tending to
ward the success of the Fair and the in
dustrial growth of this city and Oregon
is the "patronage of home Industry." be
cause the money paid for home products

Tho accident was caused by the giving
away of a two-Inch steel cable which was
used as one of the guys to support the
big crane. This cablo was tested to bear
a strain of 100 tons, and it is said it did
not break, but nulled loose from Its

DRIVING BARGAIN ON CANAL
Colombia Is Satisfied America. Will
Yield, So She Will Wait
NEW YORK, Oct 19. Ismael Enrique
Arolnlegas, of the Colombian diplomatic
service, has arrived In this city on his
way to Washington with special dis
patches containing instructions for Dr.
Toraas Horran. 'the Colombian Minister,
concerning the Panama Canal treaty. Ho
also Is the bearer of the text of the
amendments to the treaty made by the
Senate of Colombia and President Mar
roquln. The only condition on which the Colom
bian government Is now prepared to con
clude the pending treaty, he said, is the
payment of J23.O00.000 by the United States
for the advantages It would receive and
an agreement to let the territory remain
as a part of Colombia.
"There are Just as strong advocates of
the construction of the canal In my
country as In tho United States." he said.
"In fact everybody understands it
would be -of some material benefit to us,
and that the relations Into which it would
bring- us with such a great country as the
United States would be of great use to a
small country, such as ours. The people
want It, have wanted it for a long time,
and know that they will get It some day.
"However, there is a pretty general
feeling- that the United States will gala a
great deal more out of this canal than
w.o, not --only in the long run, but from
tho very start so It Is argued that while
we should not exactly drive a sharp bar
gain, wo should look out for our own In
terests. You cannot blame anybody for
doing that
Should the United States refuse to ac
cept our terms, we shall simply wait un
til she gets ready. we should gain by
waiting, since she is at the present time
willing to pay the French government
something like 540.050,000 for their fran
chise. That expires in six years, and re
verts, of course, to us. But in waiting we
should not consider the offers of any
other country to build the canal, since wo
feel tho United States is about tho
only one -which would stick to Its treaty
after It made one."
Colombia Still Considering Matter.
WASHINGTON, Oct 19. Minister Beau-
pre, at Bogota, has Informed the Stato
Department that the Colombulan govern
ment is still considering the canal question
and the committee having the matter
in charge has submitted a report upon the"
concession to the Panama Canal Com
pany from 1S04 to 1910. The dispatch is
ambiguous and the 'department cannot say
whether the committee has recommended
tho invalidation of tho concession and a
return to the company of $1,000,000. which
was paid for It or whether it favors con
firming the concession. The report is to
be printed and discussed in the Colombian
Congress next week. The Colombian gov
ernment having intimated that it desired
the construction of a canal, this Govern
ment will not act until It has been deter
mined that a reasonable time has been
given to the government at Bogota to
forfulate and present a proposition.

$31,004 were refused. Considering tho

EAST'S- DEBT TO WEST.
For Orders and Operator as Well
as the Products Themselves.
Wall Street Journal.
The business Interests of New York owe
no small debt of recognition to the banks
of the West during tho recent strain in
the money market At the very time that
the New York banks, with their resources
strained to the utmost and with confidence
In the situation much shaken, withdrew
from the mercantile paper market and
thus cut off ordinary supplies of credit
from the merchants, the country banks,
in largo numbers, displaying a commenda
ble courage and unsuspected strength.
came Into tho market and bought mer
cantile paper in considerable amounts.
Their action not only kept down rates to
lower figures than would have ruled but
for this supply, but It gave relief when
relief was most needed. Now that the
West and South wants Its money to move
the crops, it is not likely to buy so much
paper, but In the meantime the New York
banks have worked Into an easier posl
tion, and aro amply able to take care of
all mercantile needs. This statement of
conditions, which is made by leading
bankers. Is of special significance because
it Illustrates anew tho Interdependence of
tho different sections of the country
We aro closely knit together by ties of
the common interest not only of a polltl
cal nature, but more still of a business
character. One section can not get along
without the other. If there had been no
railroads to annihilate distances and
bring the most widely separated parts of
the land closely together in point of time,
it is not improbable thai, there would now
be three and perhaps four different coun
tries in the territory embracing the
United States. As It is, wo are one peo
ple. In name, In deed, in history, and in
destiny. '
Concentration of capital In big busi
ness enterprises is also, In no small
measure working toward closer union of
the people. But In nothing else does the
dependence of one-section upon another
appear clearer than In the various move
ments of money. The West has long de
pended upon the East for the capital to
develop its vast resources, and the East
has depended upon the West for tho
profits of Its investments. As the West
has grown richer it has paid much of its
indebtedness to tho East, and has lately
been disposed to boast of its financial in
dependence, but as a matter of fact while
less dependent than It was, it is still de
pendent In no small degree, and every
Fall there is tho same spectacle of mil
lions of money flowing from the East to
the West and the South to help in the
movement of the crops. This year the
movement has been delayed by the late
ness of tho crops, and Its volume may be
affected by the action of Secretary Shaw
in making larger deposits in the banks
and by anticipating the maturity of the
5 per cent bonds. Nevertheless there is
no change in the law of tho Fall drain
to move the crops.
Meanwhile the East rich as it is, finds
that it is becoming more and more de
pendent upon the West, even in a financial
way. Much of the Wall street speculation
has had its source in the West From
the West have como many of the larg
est orders, and the Western operators
have been at times the leaders In the
stock market But more than this it has
been a development of the past three or
four year, that a large part of the credit
available for speculative purposes, have
been supplied by Western Institutions, and
if Wall street has abused Its opportuni
ties and gone Intp speculative excesses,
the West is largely to blame. And now
It appears how useful the country has
been to the city In relieving it at a crit
ical moment of a large part of the bur
den of supplying the credit necessities of
the merchants.
It is altogether desirable that thl3 in
terdependence between the seotions should
exist It immensely strengthens the
country as a whole. For when one sec
tion is In need, the others may be able
to como to Its relief, and In turn the sec
tions giving aid now may soon be in need
of help themselves. The prosperity of
the West by reason of the abundance
of its recent crops, is now the business
salvation of tho country. Thero can be
no serious collapse when the great agri
cultural territory is prosperous.

Committee, hut Peace Is No
Nearer Than Before.
NEW -YORK, Oct 19. The meeting of
the Kings County Democratic Commit
tee tonlcht. called by Senator P. J. Mc-
Carren to force an indorsement of tho
entire Tammany ticket resulted In a
victory for Leader Hugh McLaughlin.
who carried ten of the 21 election dis
tricts. The vote was very close, four
teen delegates whose votes might .have
changed the result being absent when the
meeting was called to order. McCarren
made a speech in support of a resolution
offered by him to Indorse the entire Tam
many ticket John L. Shea, chairman of
the executive committee, offered a' sub
stitute resolution that the whole matter
involved in McCarren's resolution be re
ferred to a committee of 15, and the
committee be directed to report Its rec
ommendations to the County Committee
as to-the best means of bringing about
harmony of action on tho part of the or
ganlzations of the various assembly dls
tricts. This substitute was carried by
the adherents of McLaughlin by a stand
ing -ote of 148 to 141.
But slight hopes are entertained that
the harmony committee will succeed In
its mission, and it is generally consid
ered that a bitter fight between the rival
factions of McLaughlin and McCarren
will be waged during the campaign.
The Fusion and Tammany organiza
tions opened the campaign tonight May
or Low addressed three meetings on the
East Side, and Mr. McClellan spoke In
Manhattan and Brooklyn Boroughs.
A POSTPONED DINNER.
Trip Across Street as Interlude
in
an Embarrassing Evening.
New York Sun.
Tho struggler on the outskirts of soci
ety certainly has his troubles. How he Is
able to meet them depends, of course, on
the- amount of his experience and largely
on his personal characteristics. There Is
no better example of the composure wun
which these men can sometimes confront
extremely embarrassing situations than
the artist who recently gave a dinner at
a Fifth avenue restaurant
He had invited 12 persons to a dinner,
to bo served In a private room. Most of
them stood high In the set that he so
assiduously cultivated, without having
so far gained any material profit from
their friendship. The men and women
he had invited arrived and waited. They
waited very much longer than necessary
and nobody seemed to know Just what
had happened. Tho smug face of the host
showed no apprehension and his guests
felt reassured in spite of the delay.
"'We'll have the cocktails, anyhow," ho
said. "Waiter, bring up the cocktall3
right away."
Tho waiter retired. Then there was an
other appalling delay of fifteen minutes
and the guests began to feel certain that
something must be wrong. Presently
head waiter appeared.
'I've been .wanting to see you for half
. an hour," said the host with a fine show
of indignation. "What in the world does
it mean that we are compelled to wait
for dinner so long?"
"I'm very sorry." the waiter answered,
'that Mr. X has asked mo to tell you
that It will be Impossible to serve t an
other dinner for you until your present
account has been settled."
Most of tho men and women In the
room heard thi3. The silence that fol
lowed It was awful. The embarrassment
everybody felt so acutely was more for
the host than for themselves. But he
was the one person In the room who
seemed not In the least flustered.
'Indeed!" he said, with- as much scorn
as tnougn ne wouiu unaer no circum
stances consent to eat in such a place.
"My bill must be settled, eh? I had no
Idea that I ever had an unpaid account
here. But tell Mr. X not to be dis
turbed. I will send him a check so soon
as I get home."
The feelings of his guests had under
gone an. entire change since he began to
speak. He was so indignant and with
such evident justice that they sympa
thized more than ever with him. The
women, who had been flurried at the out
set were not quite composed.
"This is such a ridiculous affair," he
said with a smile at all of his guests,
"that I am at a loss to account for it
Only I hope It will not be allowed to spoil
our evening. There are other restaurants
in New York, and the best of them is just
across the street I beg of you all to ac
company me there that we may enjoy
ourselves, if It is a little late."
He-13 a magnetic fellow, and there was
an evident disposition among his friends
to feel sorry for him. So there was a
murmur of assent the one or two hesi
tating women followed the drift of feel
lng, and all decided that they would have
the dinner after all.
"I'll go ahead of you." the host said,
"and expect you all across the 6treot
within ten minutes."
That seemed a bad sign. Nobody knew
why he should be so anxious to get across
to the restaurant first But the whole
party went down to the first floor, put
on their wraps ana started to tne otner
restaurant Luckily tho weather was
clear. The women had sent their car
riages away. The spirits of the party
were splendid now. Not all of them haa
been well acquainted at the outset But
bv the- time the second restaurant was'
reached they all felt like old friends..
The host was awaiting them when they
arrived. It was after 8 by this time, and
not even a cocktail had helped to sustain
the party. But they found them on the
table, and the dinner that followed was
exaulsltely chosen. The wines wero rare
and lavish.
Only one more anxious moment came
during the evening. The check was
handed to the host Try as they might
it was Impossible for the others not to
look conscious. But It was signed. $5 was
laid on the plate for the waiter, and the
party left the restaurant without any fur
ther unpleasantness.
In tho corridor the guests stopped to
say good-night to the host The last man
shook hands and said:
"I was glad you acted as you did across
the street You carried off an embarrass
ing situation very well."
"I'm glad you think so. responded the
host "I suppose some fools would have
allowed that man to interfere with their
dinner. But I didn't propose to have that
happen."
Dovrle in Portland,
PORTLAND, Oct 20. (To the Editor.)
Fourteen years ago about this time, J.
Alexander Dowle, accompanied by a
retinue, and private secretary, landed In
Portland, from Australia, having stayed
a- while in San Francisco and San Jose,
California. On arrival here, he formed
an alliance with C. W. Beers, secretary
of the Y. M. C. A., from whose office
he sent forth a notice to each pastor
In the city to meet him and receive in
structions relative to his establishing a
faith-healing mission. To this call not a

gellcal minister named Schentnecht, who.
like a green Dutchman, parent probably
more to see what the racket was all
about anyway.
Moved by this frost Dowle issued hur
riedly to every preacher a bench war
rant to appear at "headquarters" and
"show cause" why he should not open
a mission in the City of Portland, to
which all manner of suffering- folk should
fly as doves to the windows for healing.
Still nobody heeded, this time , not even
the Dutchman, whereupon Dowle formal
ly opened hostilities in the old Tabernacle,
or the rink, as It was then called, on the
corner of Twelfth and Morrison streets,
healing In a pig's eye from night to
night many diseases.
Finding Portland soil rather unproduc
tive In shekels, after two or three weeks
the second Elijah moved on, leaving a
band of a dozen or so behind, with one
Rev. Mr. Ratroy, a wild Spanish-bishop-looking
sort of fellow,, in charge. In a
brief period the net results were: C. W.
Beers found It necessary to resign from
the secretaryship of the Y. M. C. A.;
Ratroy was cheerfully and promptly ex
cused from the pastorate of Emmanuel
Baptist Church, and lay for months
after at the point of death, and that
while at the head of a mission for divine
healing, some physician In Portland
finally was fool enough to pull him back.
Just what became of the divine healing
plant, no one seems exactly to know.

Length of Football Kicks.
New York Sun.
In the Sun of last Sunday week men
tion was made of a place kick of a foot
ball in Great Britain of 231 feet 6 Inches.
A better Idea of the distance may be had
by reckoning it In yards 77 yards 6
inches. Our football fields are 110 yards
long, 6o that this kick was 22 yards and
6 Inches more than half the length of the
field a pretty long place kick. It is not
easy to compare this kick with long dis
tance place kicks in this country on ac
count of the scarcity of records here.
There is a record of 200 feet S inches for
a place kick made on this side of tho
water, but It was a long time ago, and it
is a certainty that longer place kicks
have been made In games since that time.
.Often the ball travels over the goal lino
from a kick-off at least 20 yards, making
a total distance of 73 yards. Dave Fultz,
the old Brown half back, says tho best
kicker from placement he ever saw
somebody holding the ball for the kicker
was one Mosse at the University of
Kansas. Mosse was an Englishman. "A3
a matter of fact," says Fultz. "the punt
Is the best kick for yielding distance. A
punt In the neighborhood of SO yards is
said to have been made by DeWltt, of
Princeton. The spiral punt yields tho
most distance, and the spiral can be ap
plied only to the punt The ball hits tho
foot lengthwise and slightly oblique, and
revolves on its long axis. It docs not
turn over and over lengthwise, but tho
same point always In front These two
forces" are propelling the ball. It Is boring
its way ahead, the same point In front
always, like an airship, but whizzing
around the axis extending from point to
point. And when tho boring movement
is Imparted to a ball the twist and the
small resistance to the air afforded by
tho point carry it further than any other
kind of a kick."
