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.

to the new freight rates from the

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.

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 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

signed to accept the position of secretary

Schneider supported the Republican ticket
at the recent election, and the day follow

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

it to Popp. The land was assessed for
1S93 taxes to Mrs. Squires. -She alleges In

HIS PROPHECY MADE G00D.
Senator Fulton Predicted Republican
Majority of 20,0Q,0 in Oregon.
Senator C. W. 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

R0AEED MANY A SALUTE.
Breech of Cannon Used in Pioneer
Days Given Historical Society. -
PORTLAND. 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

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"
