THE MOBNINGr UliiS(iU.NJL&3yJ TUESDAY;, JUNE 21, 1904'.
BIG PROPERTY SOLD
Northern Pacific Railway Buys
y "Water Frontage,
MAY-BE for terminal yards
Three Blocks Owned by George Weld
ler Are Transferred to Corpora
tion That May Possibly Need
Them for Coal-Bunkers.
A property sale of the 'greatest Impor
tance to the commercial and maritime
interests ol the city was consummated
yesterday In the transfer of the Weldler
property on the North Portland water
front to the Northern Pacific Railway
Company.
TJje consideration Is not positively
known, but some months ago the prop
erty was held at 5250,000. and it certainly
has not decreased In value since.
For the past thre years It has been
known that the Northern Pacific wished
to acquire good terminal property In Port
land. During Mayor Rowe's administra
tion, George W. Weldler received a rail
way franchise on North Front street from
the Council. It was the understanding
that he should turn this franchise over
to the Northern Pacific when the com
pany bought his valuable water-front
property. But the railway people didn't
like the terms of the franchise and de
clined to take the land and the franchise
from Mr. Weldler. A second franchise was
not more highly regarded. The deal after
slumbering since that day was revived
within the past month when C. M. Levy,
assistant to President Elliott of the
Northern Pacific, visited Portland and had
a conference with Mr. Weldler. After
telegraphic negotiations of some weeks'
duration the transaction was closed yes
terday. The Weldler property extends from
North Front street to the harbor line,
and Is practically bounded by the foot of
Thurman street on the north and the foot
of Eleventh street on the south. Its lo
cation extending from the harbor line to
the nearest street makes It the most val
uable piece of water-front property on the
West Side.
It Is either terminal holdings or exten
sive coal bunkers which have been
planned by the Northern Pacific to be
placed upon this land. The Northern Pa
cific has long looked enviously at the
O. R. & N. Company which, with its
East Side terminals for freight, cut down
Its account with the Northern Pacific
Terminal Company. The terminal com
pany Is a nonprofit-producing concern
owned In conjunction by the Northern
Pacific, the O. R. & N. and the Southern
Pacific Though the Weldler property,
believed to be Included in the sale of
yesterday, embraces but three blocks, it
could be used for terminal purposes in
a small way to good advantage.
Coal bunkers would also be a logical
use for the property purchased. Since the
burning of the Alblna bunkers there has
been no coal storage depot of any size
in the city. With the Northern Pacific
owning several coal mines In Washing
ton, coal could be brought to Portland
on Its own rails, placed in Its own bunk
ers and sold to steamships and river
steamers at an excellent profit.
Late last evening It became known
that the deal had actually been closed.
Mr. Weldler could not be reached during
the evening, and the Northern Pacific
officials at Tacoma declined to give any
information. Real estate men wise in
water-front affairs say that much has
been done toward the consummation of
the sale within the past month.
If the Northern Pacific acquires or has
already quietly purchased other North
Portland property. It undoubtedly means
the establishment of extensive new ter
minal yards for that company. Such a
movement would also make It appear that
the plan often discussed of eliminating
the Kalama-Goble crossing of the Colum
bia, bridging the Columbia at Vancouver,
and entering Portland by a cut-off across
the peninsula was about to be revived.
LIBERTY BELL TO COME HERE.
Portland Public .School Pupils Will
Sign Petition.
Twenty-five thousand students of the
Portland schools will ask the Mayor and
City Council of Philadelphia to send the
historic old Liberty Bell to Portland as
an exhibit to the Lewis and Clark Ex
position. The request will be In the form
of a huge petition, signed by all the school
children, and It will most probably be de
livered to the Philadelphia officials by spe
cial representatives sent from Portland
for that purpose.
The petition of all these school children
will unquestionably have a great deal of
Influence. The old bell, which pealed forth
the glad .tidings of the signing of the Dec
laration of Independence, thus signalling
the birth of a great Nation, would attract
no end of attention If brought here. The
Lewis and Clark officials Intend to leave
no stone unturned In their efforts to secure
the bell.
Every school in the city was supplied
with a copy of the petition yesterday and
there are already several thousand names
enrolled. The petitions ask that the old
bell be brought here In charge of a Joint
special committee, representing Philadel
phia. The Philadelphia Council has already
passed a resolution favoring a Junket to'
Portland during the Lewis and Clark Ex
position, and since there is already a sen
timent favoring a trip to Portland, and
It is believed the bell will be brought here
along with a large delegation of citizens
and officials.
THE GENUINE TJNTEBBHTED.
Delegates to the Prohibition National
Convention Leaving.
A carload of Prohibitionists will leave
Portland today for Indianapolis, Ind.,
where the National Convention of the
party assembles on June 2. Foes of the
liquor traffic from Idaho and Washington
will join the Oregon party en route, and a
total of some 50 delegates from the Pacific
Northwest Is expected to make the Jour
ney. The transportation arrangements are in
charge of R. W. Kelsey, of Newberg, and
among others who will make the arip are
D. M. Cooktngham. of Portland; Rev. C.
C. Poling, of Dallas; C. J. Bright and
wife, of Wasco; W. P. Elmore, of
Brownsville; E. S. Craven and W. R.
Miles, of Newberg; W. N. Hare, of
Grant's Pass, and L H. Amos, of Port
land. F. McKercher, of this city, has al
ready departed.
The Prohibitionists will nominate a full
ticket at Indianapolis and expect to poll
a larger vote this year than usual, owing
to a slightly increased actlvlts In prohi
bition circles all over the country.
Entertainment for Charity.
PORTLAND. Or.. June 17. To the
Bencvleot and Charitably-Inclined Peo
ple of Portland: We beg to preent a
plea for th following humane movement:
The Open Air Sanitarium Aid gives an
entertainment at the Marquam Grand,
consisting of a cantata by children and
the best local talent In the city, June
?4 and 25, for the purpose of raising
funds for the establishment of an open
air sanitarium In Portland, for consump
tives. One-seventh ot the deaths in. Port
land last year resulted from tuberculosis.
Portland has "no place to care for these
unfortunates. The sanitarium when es
tablished will give them an opportunity to
receive benefit of all that science can pro
vide for them. The hopeless cases have
a refuge where their families and scores
about them may be protected from con
tamination. The safety of the commun
ity at large demands that a place be pro
vided for the segregation of our unfor
tunates. Tickets on sale at Woodard,
Clarke & Co. and Berni's drugstores.
Respectfullv submitted,
MRS. A. M. OAKES,
DR. FLORENCE MANNION,
Committee.
MAUDE ADAMS TONIGHT.
Star Actress In "The Little Minister"
at the Marquam.
Maude Adams, whom. Charles Frohman
will present for the first time as a star
in Portland, at the Marquam Grand to
night, will have reason to be proud of the
flattering reception she will receive in
this city. Miss Adams' engagement here is
limited to two nights, this and tomorrow
evenings. The reputation she has acquired
as Lady Babble In "The Little Minister"
extends throughout the entire United
States.
There are many Portland theatergoers
who remember Miss Adams when she was
here some years ago playing minor parts,
wuo then attracted much attention. They
have read with Interest the advancement
she has made, and will be glad to welcome
her return at the head of her own organi
zation, and one of the leading actresses of
the United States. The advance sale for
Miss Adams' engagement in Portland has
been of such a character as to Indicate
that tho capacity' of the theater will be
fully occupied.
E. H. Sothern in "The Proud Prince."
E. H. Sothern's appearance In "The
Proud Prince" at the Marquam Grand
Theater Tuesday and Wednesday nights,
June 2S and 29, is engrossing the entire
attention of theatergoers. The scenes of
"The Proud Prince' 'are laid In Sicily in
the 13th century. In -the play is the con
trast of the richly-attired, arrogant nobles
of the King's court and the picturesque
populace, an effect which was so artistic
in "If I Were King." A new element,
however, is introduced In the religious and
supernatural,- and the play is made pic
turesque with scenes of temples and mon
asteries, with the soulful music of organs,
the chanting of monks and religious chor
isters. It is generally conceded that Mc
Carthy had handled his subject with true
reverence and dignity, and It has attracted
the attention of the churchgoer as well
as the theatergoer. A love theme Is the
moving spirit of the play.
The sale of seats will open next Satur
day morning at 10 o'clock.
"A Thoroughbred Tramp."
This week's attraction at Cordray's
bids fair to be a record-breaker. "A thor
oughbred Tramp" started Its run with an
S. R. O. sign at the box-office window,
and set a very fast pace, but the ex
cellence of the play, Its abundant heart
Interest, Its sensational situations, realis
tic scenery and the masterly acting of the
company to whom It is entrusted fully
warrant the patronage received. There
was a large and enthusiastic audience
last night, and everybody seems talking
of "A Thoroughbred Tramp" and bent
on seeing it before the week is over.
Next week the most sensational melo
drama ever written, "The Buffalo Mys
tery," which deals with the famous Bur
dlck murder case, will be the bill. Tals
play comes here after phenomenal runs
In New Tori and Chicago, and should be
a great drawing-card in Portland.
Want Matinee Wednesday.
In response to many requests the man
agement of the Marquam Theater will
make an effort today to Induce Manager
Frohman and Miss Maude Adams to agree
to a matinee performance of "Tho Little
Minister" for Wednesday afternoon. If
the matinee is arranged, a bulletin will
be posted in front of the theater and seats
placed on sale today at noon. Miss Ad
ams Is very popular among matlnee-goers,
many of whom being young women to
whom it would be an Inconvenience to
attend evening performances. Miss Adams
was expected to arrive from San Fran
cisco at 9:45 last even.ng. but her train
was delayed and will arrive at 7:30 this
morning.
"Hoity-Toity."
This last week of the Casino Company
at the Baker Is one of the brightest and
breeziest burlesques of the entire season.
Rice and Cadj. the funny long and short
Dutchmen, undergo an entirely original
series of adventures, calculated to make
the strongest disciple of stoicism laugh
and begin to enjoy life. The musical num
bers are all -very pretty, and with Sidney
De Grey and Lou Harlow in bright, catchy
parts, to which these two popular leading
people are best adapted, "Holty Tolty"
Is bound to please not only In spots but
all through the evening.
Lyric's Great Offering.
"The Father of Minstrelsy" is the title
justly borne by Dan Hart, wao is appear
ing this week at the Lyric Mr. Hart was
born In Boston In 1S34; he made his stage
debut In 1S50, and during his long career
has played countless comedy roles, but
his fame rests on his connection witn
negro minstrelsy, which he, with Dan
Emmet, Billy Emerson, Billy Rice and
the great old-time negro impersonators,
originated. When the Civil War broke
out he joined the Navy and was appoint
ed signal officer on one of the ships of the
Gulf squadron. He was with Farragut
at the battle of Mobile Bay, and served
wit a great credit until peace was de
clared. Afterward he returned to the
minstrel stage, and has appeared In all
parts of the world. He Is now the oldest
living negro minstrel, but Is as full of
the zest of his calling and In no wide be
trays his 70 years.
Otner great acts at the Lyric this week
are: Frank Coulter, soft shoe dancer;
the Kennedy-Vernon trio. In a comedy
sketch: the Juggling Burks, Hub Bell,
German comedian: Kelly and Massy,
sketch artists, in "The Intruder," and
Raymond T. Baldwin, the peerless bari
tone, and the vltascope.
The Baker Company.
The opening play, "Diplomacy," which
the Baker Company opens with Sunday
afternoon. Is a very powerful drama from
tho pen of Sardou, the famous French
dramatist, and Is a play the company
made a splendid record In at Los Angeles.
An Old Poem Recalled.
PORTLAND. June 2a Thinking that
perhaps the pioneers might be interested
in this old piece, I send the following
copy. (From memory):
Says Tom to Joe. 'Td like to know -what Con
gress means to fio;
They've made a law a line to draw to split
rr." claim la two.
t
"I took a claim In my own name down la
Willamette Valley.
But they've agreed to spilt tho deftd. and gtre
one-half to Salljr.
"If Congress knew as well as I do how Sal's
disposed to rank' It,
They'd think the same was Just the same as
If we'd split the blanket.
Tve rolled the logs through streams and'
bogs to her part of the claim;
I wish the quill that framed the hill was
forced to build the frame."
Says Joe to Tom, "That bill is some, the.
Homestead's nothing to It.
Though you can't see. It's plain to me, for I
can eee right through it.
"Don't you suppose that Congress knows,
though rezne folks call it chaC.
That Mr. Thurrton's not the first one that
thought &l the better halfr"
J.S.
FILIPINO BAND MAY COME
DUSKY MUSICIANS ARE TO BE A
FEATURE OF MARDI GRAS.
Queen Voting Contest Spirited, and
Heavy Balloting for the Lead
ers Is Expected.
Aguinaldo's Filipino hand will be a fea
ture of the Mardl Gras to be held on the
Multnomah Field June 33, to July 9. In
clusive. The announcement was made by
the Mardl Gras committee last night, and
although the contract for these musicians
has not been signed the management be
lieves from the correspondence received
from the manager of the band that there
will be no difficulty in bringing the Fili
pino musicians to this city.
The band, which is composed of a large
number of the best native musicians in
the Philippines, Is. en route from Manila
to the St. Louis Fair, and the Idea of se
curing them was first thought of by W. C.
North, manager of the Mardl Gras, who
served the Oregon Volunteers In the Phil
ippines, and realized what a drawing card
it would be for the Carnival to have the
band of dusky musicians fill an engage
ment at the Mardl Gras while en route
to St. Louis.
Another feature announced yesterday
evening was the Spanish bullfight, the
toreadors and matadores for which are
now in California, and are expected here
In the near future. Although the manage
ment realizes that there may be some
trouble In pulling off the fight in the city
limits, they believe that by guaranteeing
to the humane officials that there will be
no cruelty to the animals 'the fight will
be carried out
Manager North has established Quarters
at the Multnomah Field, where he Is su
pervising the placing of the various tents
and other paraphernalia for the Mardl
Gras. "Dare-Devil" Edwards was very
lame and sore when he went to the Mult
nomah Feild to make his second attempt
to leap the aerial arch yesterday, and as
it was late in the afternoon before the
carpenters had finished the new receiving
platform he decided not to try the ride
until this morning, when a number of
photographers will be present to take
snapshots at him as he makes the sensa
tional ride.
The first rehearsal of the spectacular
coronation was held at Alisky Hall last
night. The coronation will be the finest
and most gorgeous ever given on the
Coast. Twenty-five more young men and
women are wanted to participate In the
coronation scene. Another rehearsal will
be held at Allsky Hall tonight, where all
those who desire to participate are re
quested to apply. The little girls, be
tween the ages of 8 and 12 years, who will
ride on the liberty-car with the Goddess
of Liberty will report to Mrs. Drew, at 162
Second street, after school this afternoon.
The decoration of the principal busi
ness streets will commence today, when
several hundred large flags will be sus
pended along parts of the line of march
of the Fourth of July parade. A number
of prominent merchants have informed
the committee that they will decorate
their places of business In an appropriate
manner before and during the Mardl Gras,
and the city promises to take on an as
pect of festivity that will surpass any
patriotic decoration of the past
The queen voting contest continues to
excite more interest and some heavy vot
ing was done Sunday and Monday, as
the following count will show. The com
mittee will employ men to watch the ballot-boxes
from. now until the close of the
voting, as much heavy voting will be done
both by cash and ballot subscriptions.
Following is the count taken last night:
Margaret Paffrath 5533
Anna Simmons 5365
Bessie Aaron 3101
Anna Mabel Atkinson 2S63
Mae Mason 22S7
Pearl Sones 2130
Retha Fowler 1905

DETERMINED TO VOTE.
Women Suffragists Meet Exponent of
Their Cause From California.
Mrs. A. S. Dunlway's informal invitation
to leading representative women to greet
Mrs. Speddy, from the Equal Suffrage As
sociation of California, called together a
fine company of brainy women yesterday
to confer with her distinguished guest In
reference to the prosecution of the suf
frage movement
Mrs. Speddy, who makes her plea for
equal rights from any other standpoint
than that of a "down-trodden sex," Is
large, fresh, intelligent, well-dressed and
handsome. She gave an extremely Inter
esting Impromptu talk, showing thorough
familiarity with the suffrage movement
She was especially Interested In Oregon's
Initiative and referendum amendment and
heartily congratulated Oregon on the
progress she is making In the cause of
equal rights.
Mrs Merrick, of Alameda, Mrs. E. P.
Fiasef. Mrs. A. H. Breyman, Miss Huff
and Mrs. Nathan Harris made brief and
pointed remarks.
Mrs. Duniway explained the "still hunt"
the women had made to secure the Initi
ative and referendum amendment in Ore
gon, and said she had called off the vote
on a suffrage amendment and the late
election to avoid bringing the equal suf
frage movement Into a conflict with pro
hibition and whisky, and opposing forces
between which they would have been
crushed If they had not stepped aside dur
ing tho local option campaign.
"Our struggle," she said, "is not with
contending forces over side Issues, but a
plea for equality before the law for the
mothers of men."
The following resolution was unani
mously adopted: "Resolved, That we glad
ly welcome the co-operation of the wide
awake equal suffragists of our sister state
of California In our Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial celebration, and we especially ap
preciate their determination to attend the
forthcoming convention of the National
American Equal Suffrage Association next
June.
Mrs. Speddy offered a resolution of
thanks to President Scott and Director
General Goode, of the Lewis and Clark
Fair, and to President Myers of the State
Commission, for their courtesy In extend
ing the hospitalities of the Fair to the
National Suffrage Convention.
Mrs. Duniway thought that Senators
Mitchell and Fulton and Representatives
Williamson and Hermann should be In
cluded. The lady concurred and the res
olution was adopted as amended.
Greetings from over the 'phone were
received from Mrs. N. C Cartwright Dr.
Mae Card well," Mrs. W. H. Fear, Miss
Francis R Gotshall and many others who
could not attend in person.
Moving-Picture Machine Stolen.
Edward Shields, proprietor of Shield's
Park, at Thirteenth and Washington
streets, would like to know who stole a
moving-picture machine from the park
last Thursday night The machine is
called a polyscope and had the top off
when stolen. The case was reported to
the police yesterday morning and Detec
tive Welner was detailed on the case, but
up to this time has found no trace of the
missing machine.
Suitcase Stolen Had Rich Lining.
Charles Eddy, an employe of the John
Deere Plow Company, who resides at 4S2
Hawthorne avenue, reported to the police
yesterday morning that he had been
robbed of an imitation alligator-skin suit
case containing $70 in gold, a jack-knife
and a number of other articles. A search
of tho pawnshops last night failed to lo
cate the stolen case, but the police will
continue the Investigation of the theft

Purloining Advertisements
Is an art we have not acotrired yet It is really very amns

have you forgotten the "A. Lincoln Dry Goods Story"
you copied word for word from John Wanamaker? Have
you forgotten "The Man With the Hoe Story" from the
same source? Have you forgotten your advertisement of
March 27 taken from Chas. A. Stevens &. Bros., Chicago?
Have you forgotten your announcement of March 19

that your Teachers' Contest came from Weinstock-Lubin

Imitators, did you say? The public evidently know the
difference between the genuine and imitation, same as they
do between diamonds and paste, judging by yesterday's
attendance.
