GOOD MEN AT HEAD
Lewis and Clark Exposition
Should Be Thing:of Beauty,
EMINENT ARCHITECT'S VIEWS
W. S. Eames, of St. Louis, Has Words
of Praise for Mr. Olmstead, Who
Planned the Landscape, and
Also for Mr. Ion Lewis.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 3. (Special.)
"If jlr. Olmsted planned the landscape
improvements and the architecture is
made to conform with his general plan
fh TxrJs nnrt Plark Exposition Will be
a collection of beautiful buildings, artis- f
.. ... )
tically arranged.
This is tho opinion of TV. S. Eames, of
St. Louis, president of the American In
stitute of Architects, and one of. tho
commissioners who outlined the archi
tectural features of the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition. Mr. Eames' firm de
signed the educational building at the St
Louis Fair, and he is regarded, as one of:
the most prominent architects in the
country.
"I have no doubt of the success of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition." he contin
ued. "In only a general way nave I
any information regarding the construc
tion of the buildings, though I should be
glad to see the plans. I understand Ion
Lewis Is in charge of the bureau of archi-'
tecture, and I have no doubt but that he
will arrange a tasteful display of the
buildings.
"That, to my mind. Is one of the essen
tials for an exposition. The first im
pression of a visitor as be enters the
gateway is very important and an artis
tic arrangement of buildings goes a long
way toward creating a favorable im
pression. "The arrangements at St Louis are not
those the architects recommended. "We
asked for more room to make a better
arrangement of the buildings, but the di
rectors would not give it to us. Sub
sequently they did include not only the
ground that we suggested, but other ter
ritory as welL The result Is that the
buildings do not conform as we would
have had it to the character of tho
grounds. It Is probable, though, that thd
average visitor will not notice this. Port
land should endeavor, though, to lay out
her grounds with a definite plan in view
and adhere closely to tho arrangement
first adopted. There will then bo no mar
ring of the general plan.
"I am convinced that the Lewis and
Clark Exposition will be tho greatest
factor In tho development of this country.
The cheap' rates made by tho railroads
will induce a travel hero that could not
be gotten otherwise. This Is a vast and
resourceful region that will certainly at
tract favorable attention from visitors
and Investments in the Northwest ought
to be heavy. Naturally Portland will ben
efit largely from the presence of so many
visitors and tho closer investigation peo
plo will make of that city and vicinity,
but the other Northwestern cities owe it
to themselves to give the Lewis and Clark
Exposition every encouragement"
Mr. Eames is a member of the firm of
Rnmes & Younsr. who designed the Alaska
building, a 14-story structure now in
course of erection here. He came west
nHmarllv to inspect the work here und
to look over a Federal building his firm
designed for San Francisco, .air. .tames
left last night for San Francisco. He de
riarod before coins that only the abso
lute necessity for his presence In St Louis
immediately prevented him from stopping
in Portland to make a close examination
of tho Lewis and Clark Fair pians.

THREATENED BY CATERPILLARS
King and Pierce County Authorities
Fighting the Pests.
SEATTLE, "Wash.. June 1. (Special.)
An Invasion of caterpillars has become so
serious In Seattle that the Park Board to
day sent out a small army of men to
fight tho pests. The State Fruit Inspec
tor and bis depuUeVhayo been conduct
ing a war upon the Insects .for several
days, and owners of fruit and shade trees
have been fighting' all this week.
Both in Pierce and King Counties the
pest has appeared, and unless the inva
sion is overpowered by Friday the fruit
authorities Insist the caterpillars will be
gin a march that will threaten the fruit
prospects of this part of the state. At
present the caterpillars in King County
are maturing, but they will leave their
tentlike homes by Friday. In Pierce they
have begun their march.
The caterpillars are of the i"Unt" variety
that orev uixn foliage. They aooeared
that prey upon foliage. They appeared
simultaneously in Pierce and King Coun
ties upon fruit and shade trees. The State
Horticultural Inspector -and his deputies.
made the first onslaught and have had
the support of the fruitgrowers in the
crusade.
Today's action of the Park Board of
Seattle in sending out men to mako the
fight, against the pest in the city parks
and 'along the streets Is the first action by
local authorities. Men armed with prun
ing fork and torches are tonight either
burning the caterpillars on the trees or
cutting them off and destroying them. In
bonfires burning generally in both coun
ties. The caterpillars in Pierce County
are already moving, while those, in King
have not fully matured.
Ten years ago a similar invasion of cat
erpillars in Whatcom County destroyed
the foliage on deciduous- tree and shrub
growth, the effect lasting for years. Pres
ident Saunders, of the CityPark Board;
State Horticultural Inspector Von Holder-
beck and his deputies, Cass and Brown,

Stripping Off the Foliage.
TACOMA, "Wash., June L North Ta-
coma is infested with a scourge of cater-
pillara A great army of them has at
tacked the alder leaves and green shade
trees and in many places stripped the
trees bare.
They have become such a pest in cer
tain districts that it has become neces
sary to take official action. The county
fruit Inspector has ordered property-owners
to burn the nests. Thoinsecta sleep
during the heat of the day and feed at
night, so that it is comparatively easy
to destroy them In their nests when they
are bunched together.
The state law provides that In such
cases property-owners must be first noti
fied, and in case they fall to take steps
to rid their premises of pests, the in
spector may do so and charge the cost to
the owner.

Local Option and Effort to Remove
the County Seat.
LA GRANDE, Or., June L (Special.)
The election for Union County will take
place June 6, and the direct primary sys
tem will run well throughout Union. Lo
cal option will have a light vote In La
Grande, as well as in other places In tho
county. A large number of voters will
vote for It to become a law of tho state
who would vote against its application to
To. Grande or the county. They are win
ing to grant the right to villages and
towns to exclude saloons u tne majority
of voters so desire. In La Grande local
ontlon would be defeated by a large ma
jority to make It applicable to the city,
but the adoption of the bill is likely to
meet with much favor.
The Question of tho removal of tho
county seat from Union to La Grande,
which will appear on the election ticket,
looks very favorable for La Grande at
this time. La Grande must gain 60 to
Union's 40 votes. But the Majority of
the voters in the county seem to bo look
ing La Grande's way.

guage what Republicanism was and had

the Administration of President Roosevelt
and recounted what he had done for Ore
gon and the Lewis and Clark Fair. He
then took up the matter of the factional
fight In Polk County and exhorted stead
fastness to the nominees of the Republi

ANKENY MAY HEAD DELEGATION
Will Probably Get Railroad Commit
teeman Baker's Proxy.
SEATTLE, "Wash., June -(Special.)
John S. McMillln. of the "Washington dele
gation to the Republican National Con
vention, has left for the East, and the
other delegates will start for Chicago
within the next ten daya Urgent bus!
ness took Mr. McMillln East ahead of the
remainder of the delegation.
The departure of Mr. McMillln may make
some change In the fight over olectlon of
National committeeman! from this 3tate,
McMillln is a strong candidate for the po.
sltion, and so is J. M. Ashton. of Tacoma.
Charles Sweeney, of Spokane, was a can
didate for National committeeman prior
to the meeting of the State Convention.
Ho was not here when the convention met
and his friends state that he is still in the
East and may meet the delegation for the
first time in Chicago. Sweeney's candt
dacy is no longer regarded as serious.
Both Ashton and McMillln claim a ma
jority of the delegation, and each is
equally confident he will be elected com
mitteeman. There has been no meeting of
tno delegation that could settle the fleht
the only gathering held being attended by
but four men. It is likely the election
win oe made at Chicago.
A general Impression prevails that
united States Senator Levi Ankenv will
head the delegation to the National Con
vention. It was understood at the time
the delegation was chosen that this honor
was to go to the junior Senator, and he
win represent this state at the last meet
ing or the old National Committee. He
will be given the proxy of Committeeman
George H. Baker, of Goldendale, who is
not likely to attend either the committee
meeting or the National Convention.
Senator Ankeny headed the last deleea
tion to the National Convention from this
state, and Is anxious to go back again in
me same position.

WILLIAMS GIVEN SENTENCE
TO BE HANGED AT PENITEN
TIARY JULY 22.
Prisoner Shows Very Little Emotion
Counsel Asks Forty Days to
Prepare Appeal.
THE DALIES, Or.. June L (Special.)
In a courtroom crowded with curious
spectators, the final act of the trial of
Daniel Norman "Williams foe the murder
of Alma Nesbltt "Williams, near Hood
River, March 8. 1300, was this evening
consummated, when Judge Bradshaw pro
nounced sentence upon the criminal whom
12 men had declared guilty of wife-murder.
Through tho aisles packed with men,
women and children, the deputy and bai
liffs were obliged to force their way in
order to bring their prisoner before the
bar.
Erect and apparently self-possessed,
"Williams was led to his chair beside his
counsel, Judge McGinn. No outward sign
manifested ' that he realized bis terrible
situation. The forced composure, broken
only by sudden straightening of shoul
ders and hands, which has characterized
his bearing throughout his trial, was
maintained while be stood to receive sen
tence of death. "When the fatal words
fell from the Judge's lips no quiver told
that "Williams was even listening, but as
ths court named July 22 as the day upon
which he should expiate his crime, a
sudden swelling of the throat and a crim
son flush for a moment anly showed that
the quick was touched.
"When asked if ho had anything to say
regarding his sentence, "Williams replied:
"Nothing at this time," Forty days was
then asked by Judge McGinn in which
to file bill of exceptions and appeal. Af
ter receiving sentence, "Williams waa de
tained in the courtroom until the crowd
was dispersed, when he was once moro
returned to his cell.
Since the close of his trial he has seen
no one but the jailor Sheriff and an
evangelist of this city, spending his time
in reading his Bible and praying. He has
eaten and slept with his usual regular
ity, remarking to his attendants that he
did not care for papers or anything else
from the world with which ho had fin
ished.
The setting of the date and place for
his execution has created considerable
excitement in this city, but two hangings
