THE MOENltfG OREG02LA1S, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1904. OANADA MAY GOME Appropriation of $50,000 for Lewis and Clark Fair. COLONEL D0SCH GETS ACTION (Government at Last Yields and Will Ask Parliament for Money May Bring British Colum bia Into Line. Canada may conclude to take an active part in tho Lewis and Clark Exposition. "While that government has In the past Beemed diElnolined to participate, a change has been wrought in the eleventh hour. A hill making an appropriation of $50,030 Is to he introduced, at once In the nadlan parliament , Telegraphic communication to this effect was received at Lewis and Clark head quarters yesterday morning. The tele gram was from Colonel H. E. Dosch, Commissioner-General, who recently went to Ottawa to interest the Canadian offi cials in the Fair. It was addressed to Director-General Goode, hut, as Mr. Goode has been out of the city for a week past, the message was received by Secre tary Henry Reed. The message is as iollows: "After many consultations and inter views, 'outlook for Canada's participation Is favorable. Ministers will ask" Parlia ment for $50,000." This news was a pleasant surprise to Fair officials, who had all but given up hope of getting the Canadian government Interested. All communications sent to Ottawa and to Canadian officials had been courteously replied to, but the tone of the replies was not encouraging. There Beemed to be a disposition on tho part of She Canadian people to concentrate their efforts on making a line exhibit at the fair in Belgium, which takes place next year, almost simultaneously with the Lewis and Clark Exposition. In the event Parliament makes the ap propriation asked for, it is thought the province of British Columbia can be brought into line. It is known that British Columbia has been holding back to see what reception the Exposition will get from the general government before taking any action. Favorable action from the general government will, therefore. It is believed, insure the participation of iJBrltlsh Columbia as a province. EFFECT OF -NEW TAEIFF. fepokane Gains Without Injury to Portland. A brief telegram from headquarters Is all the information that local rall Toad officials have received in regard to the new freight rates from the Eastern terminals of the transconti nental roads to Spokane and the reduc tion in lumber rates from Pacific Coast terminals to St. Paul. Minneapolis and Missouri River terminals. Despite tho statement in the St. Paul dispatch pub lished In The Oregonian yesterday that concessions are made to Spokane, Port land jobbers do not believe that these concessions are such as to materially affect their distributive territory. "W. A Mears, a member of the committee of Portland Jobbers which went to ii. i nrnfoct niminst rmv conces- elons to Spokane which would cut off nrv torrltorv irom me vouau uura, probably voiced the sentiments of the commltteo when he said: I do not think the people at St. Paul under- a .v.. fnvnivpd In the Question.

Drawbridges as an Obstruction A Front-street business man who has purchased a residence in a ploasdnt tract on the Bast Side has been trying to induce his partner to locate near him. and yes terday took him over to show him a de slrable place and explain its advantages to H"- He was hopeful of accomplishing his design, as his partner seemed inclined to accent his views as correct, and all went well till they reached the "bridge on their way back, just in time to oe aeiayea by a steamboat whistling- for the draw. This was started at once, and It was so long before the boat had passed through that the partner became disgusted and re marked that he thought a home on the "West Side would suit him well enough. Then the East Slder had to begin his work all over again. He explained that a larce Droportlon of the inhabitants of New York, Chicago and many other large cities bad to cross drawbridges in going from their homes to their business, and that ithe delay, which is occasionally lonsrer than it oucht to be. was not serious and was offset by more room, less noise and other advantages. He also said that there would soon be a vast improvement In regard to the operating of drawbridges here. Some arrangements would be mane with steamboatmen to secure this. Boats running ud the river would be induced to have their docks as far uptown as possj- Die, ana tnoae going down river tne ap petite. The length of time draws re main open could be materially shortened If boats would wait till they were through, one draw before whistling for another, which was. not really necessary. Of course, -all these things could be brought about by arrangement with steamboat men, and It was probable that some ar rangement could be made to have all or nearly all boats pass the draws at cer tain hours, so as not to substruct the passage of the bridges at the hours when people were coming down town or going home. The partner said that, when these arrangements were brought about, he would probably take up his residence on the East Side. DYNAMITE SHOOK CITY. Work on Morrison-Bridge Piers Ex plains Supposed Earthquake Shock. Five-pound charges of dynamite, explod ed under one of the old Morrison-bridge piers during the past two days are re sponsible for the shocks felt in different parts of the city and believed to be earth quakes. An old pier, the construction of which was commenced In 1SS2, and which was never completed, owjng to an injunc tion obtained against the Paclnc? Bridge Company by the City Council, lies directly In the spot where a new pier is to be in stalled for the new Morrison bridge, and the dynamite Is being exploded under the water in order to loosen and break up the pier, so it can be removed. The -veiglit of tue 60 reet or water above tho dvnamlte when exploded is said to be responsible for the unusually heaty shock. Hints for Daily Menu Sunday, June 19. BREAKFAST. Apricots.

District Attorney Manning Will En deavor to Have the Case Set fort Trial at Once. A speedy trial of Frank Gugllelmo, the murderer of pretty Freda Guarascla, 13 the desire of District Attorney John Man ning, and Albert Ferrera, counsel for the prisoner, seeks to delay the case until public opinion against the man has be come stilled. , The Jury convenes- on Tuesday next, and the District Attorney desires the case set for trial at once. The Jury will only be detained for a short period, as there are but few Jury cases to dispose of, and If the trial goes over it will be until .the September term. Mr. Manning- will op- PRESIDENT OF MORMON CHURCH VISITS PORTLAND JOSEPH F. SMITH. President Joseph F. Smith, of the Mormon Church, Is spending a few da,3 m Portland, after having attended the conference of his church In Eastern Oregon lost week. President Smith consented to sit for the above sketch, but declined to bo Interviewed further than to say that he came to Portland solely for a little outing, and defined to attract as little attention as possible. pose any dilatory tactics or motion for continuance for the reason that the facts are plain, the witnesses easy to secure, and there is no better time to dispose of the case than now. The defense has not been hinted at. but there Is a guess that the Insanity dodge will be attempted. Yesterday morning was the time fixed for Gugllelmo to plead, and his attorney, Albert Ferrera, appeared ana niea a motion to quash the Information on tho ground that It is defective because the name of George E. Chamberlain appears upon It as District Attorney in the printed form, as well as that, of John Manning. This Is because the old blanks used by Mr. Chamberlain when he was District Attorney are still in use. This objection Is trivial. Mr. Ferrera also objected to the infor mation and argued that it was Illegal and asserted that Gugllelmo cannot be tried for murder except on an indictment re turned by a grand jury, according to a provision of the Constitution of the United States, which reads: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital or other wise Infamous crime unless on a present-. ment or Indictment by a grand jury." Counsel also called attention of the court to another article of the Constitution, which provides: "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or Immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive a man of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any per son within its jurisdiction the equal pro tection of the laws." Mr. Ferrera admitted that the Oregon Supreme Court has held the information law to be good, but said the question had not been passed upon by the United States Supreme Court, and to that tribunal the case would be brought. DeDUty District . Attorney Adams con tended that the Constitutional provision concerning indictments or presentments by a grand jury applies only to the Fed eral courts. The motion and demurrer were argued at 2 o'clock. Mr. Ferrera argued that the Information charged two crimes, murder In the first degree and murder in the sec ond degree. The Information, he said, sets up all the facts of murder In the first degree and to It are aaded these words, "and murdered her. These words, counsel said, should be used only in in formations for murder In the second de gree. The attorney further asserted the facts stated In the information do .not constitute a crime. Mr. Adams said the counsel for the de fense was only trying to have the trial put off until public opinion had subsided The defendant's attorney Informed the court that he was not feeling well and wanted time to make a better presenta tion of the matter. At his request he was granted a continuance until Monday morning to do so. SUES J. A. ARMSTRONG FOR $1100 George P. Tolton Gave Him Money to Buy Horses, but Got None. George P. Tolton, who says he gave J. A. Armstrong $1100 at Baker City on April 25, 1904, to pay as part of the purchase price of 000 horses to be bought from Mrs. Shane at Ontario, has instituted suit against Armstrong In the State Circuit Court to recover the money. The Sheriff was instructed by Miller & Miller, attor neys for Tolton, to attach and seize 13 head of horses In a livery stable In Port land, but H. W. Davis says he Is the owner of them, and has cued the Sheriff to compel their return- Armstrong Is said to hold a position of inspector of stock In British Columbia, for which he receives a large salary. He ob tained leave of absence for six months and came to Oregon. He talked Tolton Into buying the GOO horses from Mrs. Shane, telling him It was a good specula tion, and gave Tolton a receipt for the money, which the latter still holds and which is all he ever got for the amount. The Deputy Sheriffs have been unable to locate Armstrong, and he Is supposed to be in hiding. County Jail and Kitchen Separate. The Iron door connecting the County T-ll ttH t V fVio VI tnVi en tmont- m. rAct.rv -nrlth Tim WW L "T . : : ' , Some persons say thl3 Is to make It possi- ble to separate the County Jail from t he kitchen, and is part ot the scheme of the County Court to take 'charge of the feed ing of prisoners when Tom Word is in stalled as Sheriff. Jailer Jackson said there had been some repairs made, and the new locks were put on as part of this work. He stated further, however, that it was perfectly proper to separate the Jail from the kitch en, just the same as if the kitchen was located at Mount Tabor. Judge Webster said: "The only Idea In this work is to make the Jail and the kitchen two separate departments in fact as well as in theory." Herman Schneider Appointed. Herman Schneider, until two weeks ago Deputy Sheriff under Sheriff Storey, has been appointed by County Clerk Frank S. Fields as Deputy County Clerk to take the place of O. L. McPherson, who re signed to accept the position of secretary of the Civil Service Commission. Mr. Schneider supported the Republican ticket at the recent election, and the day follow ing was discharged by Mr. Storey. Had James Stott been elected Schneider would have returned to the Sheriffs office. As it is he Is recognized as one of the faithful and has been provided for. Sues to Quiet Title. Mary E. Squires has sued John Popp In the State Circuit Court to quiet title to 80 acres of land to which he hold3 a tax deed. The land was sold for taxes for 1S93, to H N. Scott, who In 1S0O transferred it to Popp. The land was assessed for 1S93 taxes to Mrs. Squires. -She alleges In her complaint that In 1S93 the land be longed to tne Oregon & California Kali road Company, and she had an equitable Interest In it She says the assessment was erroneous ana tne tax deed is conse quently void.

Fulton came up from Astoria yesterday and registered at the Imperial. Immediately the Federal brigade began to call upon him, and of these John W. Mlnto was the most conspicuous. With the general results of the election Senator Fulton was much pleased. "Of course we made a few local slips here and there, said he, "but as a who! it was very gratifying." The Senator also recalled his prophecy, made last Spring, that Oregon would go Republican this month by 20,000 and would return a majority of 30,000 for Roosevelt In November next. "You'll see the last half of the prophecy come as true as the first," said Mr. Ful ton. SWELL SUNDAY TRIP To Cascade Locks and Return With Popular Bailey Gatzert.

June 12, (To the Editor.) There is in the possession of the Kelly ramily a relic of early Oregon, the ricn historic value of which will doubtless prove of Interest to many pioneers and native sons and daughters. Since the dfeath of Mrs. Sarah M. Kern It has been do elded by her descendants and relatives to give the keeping of this treasure over to the Oregon Historical Society, so I trust twit a lew words of explanation will not te am.ss-at this time. During the past Winter, or early Sprintr. The Oregonian, In recalling events of EO years ago, made mention of an ancient cuLvenn, wnicn 3tooa on tne levee or common, c.beur Front. First. Yamhill and Taylor streets, and v-hich was used for firing salutes to Incoming ships. When, whence or by whom this warrior was brought to Portland we have no ex act knowledge, but there It stood for years, through sun and shower, to roar a thunderous welcome to each extraordinary event, whether it were a new baby In town, satisfactory election returns, or the arrival of a ship from San Francisco. He who had the means to buy the powder had full right to fire the cannon, and the "un pretentious village" was often shaken as the report echoed from the hills and rolled through every trail of the valley. un one occasion Hampton, son of Clin ton Kelly, hadjgone to town with a load of charcoal, he supplying the blacksmiths with that commodity, and while attend ing to affairs at hand he finally allowed a clamoring group of boys to unhitch his nxon and drive them down to the river's edge to drink. Suddenly, for some unac countaoie reason, tne animals plunced Into the water, with the heavy hickory yoke upon their necks, and swam across to the East Side, then clambered out upon the bank and made their leisurely way homeward. The boys In sheer dismay watcned proceedings In awed silence, till me oxen were sareiy on the other shore, then with whoops of relief and keen de light they, rushed back and fired the can njn as the grand finale of the day. ' At last the fate of this pioneer was sealed and It boomed for the setting of lt3 own sun. Tho Joyful news of a successful election so filled the youth of Portland with enthusiasm that they came forth a night and crammed the culverin to the mouth with rocks, brickbats and sod a charge which no self-respecting gun could stand, and with a tremendous crash it burst and flew In all directions, one piece burrowing into the bank before "Uncle Jimmy" Stephens' East Side home. Then later, from the debris of ancient dorr Clinton Kelly took up the breech and bore It home to the great loghouse which ON THE NECK AND ARMS R0BERT11NE (FLUID FACE POWDER) EXERTS ITS MARVELOUS POWER OF PRODUCING THE DELICATE SKIN TEXTURE AND COMPLEXION OF YOUTH YOUR VACATION WILL BE ALL PLEASURE IF YOU AVOID TAN, SUNBURN AND FRECKLES BY USING :: :: :: ROBE RTI IN E AH Leading Physicians Testify to the PURITY of ROBERTINE FOR SALE BY ALL DEALERS.

Here he placed the heavy Iron In the fireplace to serve as a Dumper to protect the huge mud chimney when the logs were rolled Into the leap ing flames. After the death o Clinton Kelly, his daughter. Mrs. Kern, cared for this "val uable heirloom. Once, during recent years. It disappeared, and Captain Kern, de ceased, immediately went to the city and searched till he found it la a junk shop. Indignantly he confronted the proprietor ana ordered him to have it returned to the exact spot it was stolen from within an hour, under liability of arrest, and, needless to say, his order was obeyed with alacrity. Today the breech of that old cannon is One of the most treasured bits of early Oregon left to remind us of our debt to pioneers. 31. AGNES KELLY. o40 East Thirty-third street, city. BACK FROM 330EE-LAND. Portland Lawyer Returns After Learning to Be a .Sailor. After a trip of 29,000 miles to South Af rica and back to this country via England and Scotland, George S. Shepherd, lawyer in the Marquanx building, and one of the best-known members ot the Clan Mac leay, returned home yesterday, bronzed with his long sea voyage, and looking the picture of health generally. During his tour, watch began last November, he ha talked with President Roosevelt, General Cronjer and other noted men. Mr. Shep herd left Portland as an ordinary sailor in a sailing ship, as he was anxious to learn practical navigation, and he believes ne has succeeded. He Is the owner of the yacht Shamrock IV. well known on both the Willamette and Lower Columbia Riv ers, and when he got his discharge from tne sailing ship at Aljroa Bay. South Af rica, It bore the highest possible mark- very Good." He steered the ship over tne Dar at the mouth of the Columbia. around Cape Horn and to anchorage at Aigoa iiay. Work on the ship began shortly after leaving tne uolumbla River, as It was discovered that 12 men shipped in the crew were not real sailors after all. al though they had represented themselves as such they were just plain, ordinary lanaiuDoers, ana they were all seasick for a long time. Several violent storms were encountered, but the shin mereed sareiy rrom them all. Mr. Shepherd's ex periences In South Africa and his views on the future of that country, with ref erence to reconstruction work after the Boer War, have already appeared In The uregonian. "On the return journey to Eurooe we had on board a sick Boer who would not take the eoath of alleelance to Great Britain," said Mr. Shepherd last night "He had been captured durintr the war ana sent as a prisoner to St. Helena. ana atter nis health gave way he asked permission of the authorities to spend his last days In Holland, as he was confident he wouldn't live long. He was violently anu-antisn. when the ship was cross mg tne Bay of Biscay, one day's sail from Great Britain, this Boer died, and he was buried at sea with the Church ot England service. His coffin was covered with the British flag, and It seemed to me that all this Boer could do as lone as he lived he could not avoid contact with those he chose to regard as his en emies. "At the SL Louis Exposition I met General Cronje, the hero of Paardeberg. and he and other Boers were rehearsing a Boer battle, which was to form one of the attractions of the Exposition. In, this representation Boers and British charged alternately, and Cronje beamed approval. But when the Boers hoisted the white flag as the result of the surren der at Paardeberg, Cronje turned ab ruptly to me and said in Dutch: 'Come away. "In Washington, D. C, I talked with President Roosevelt. He spoke about the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and said: "I am Interested In Oregon, and am sorry that I did not have the time when there to go over as much of the country as I could wfsh.' In Great Britain, from the Inquiries I made, I am satisfied that King Edward Is the most popular man In that country, nnd that President Roosevelt is second in general esteem. Bull Run water is the best drinking water I tasted in my trip, and the best looking and most healthy women I met with are the Port land' womenl" DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Marriage Licenses. Harry P.
