1 iiff 3U)KU5 OKKCxUKlAN. THUKSDAT, DECEMBER 15, 1904. SCOPE IS W Exhibit of Fine Arts to 8e Surpassing. TO HAVE EXTRA BUILDING Structure Will Be Erected for This Department MANY NATIONS REPRESENTED Paintings From Brushes of Masters, Valued at Fabulous Sums, Will Be on Exhibition, and Closely Guarded Night and Day. The scope -of the .fine arts and sculpture exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Expos! ton "has "become such that it will be im perative to erect an additional building in which to house the paintings and statu ary which arc to be sent here by the vari ous nations and art aMocIatlons. No provision was made originally for a line arts building, as it was not sure the offerings of artists would be sufficient to warrant an art gallery. But every nation that is to participate in the exposition has .signified an intention of bringing se lect worksto properly represent the art of uip country- or tnis reason a site nas been set apart at tne Exposition grounds, and action looking towards the construc tion of the building will be taken immodi atoly upon the return of President Goode and staff from St. JuLs. The site Ik on the lake front, fronting Gray Boulevard Its size will be determined when the exact amount of space required has been deter mined. Exhibit Will Be Notable. That the art exhibit will be one of the notable ones in :the history of expositions is already assured. The paintings will be from the best brushes of such art centors as France, Italy, Germany and Russia. The other nation will also have repre sentative works here. For Instance, China has decided to, send a famous collection of fcrolls, done in six water colors, showing omeial and religious ceremonies in the imperial kingdom. China will also con tribute albums of paintings from the best artist? of Canton, Hongchow and Pekin. As befits the nation of art. France will have the most extensive exhibit here and Exposition visitors will have an oppor tunity of seeing the works of such mod ern painters as Bonnat, Duran, Bou gereau, Penner, Fleury. Besnard, Simon, Monet, Constant and Menard. It is not assured that any of the old masters will be shown here, though some may be included in the Italian art ex hibit, which is now being selected from the royal galleries by Sig. Zlgglo, who re cently sailed from New York for Venice for the express purpose of making the selections. More Painting Than Sculpture. The greater portion. If not all of the ex hibits, will bo made up from the works of modern painters and sculptors. Sculpture will, of necessity, take second placo in point of scope, owing to the dangers and difficulties of transportation. Russia's art offering will be made by the Russian Art Association of St. Peters burg, and will be made up of paintings by the notable modern Russia artists. From far away Persia will come an elaborate display of Oriental art The Persian government has announced Its in tention of sending a valuable collection of rugs, paintings, pottery and tapestry. This will be supplemented by the Jl.000,000 col lection belonging to Dirkran Khan Keklan. the Persian Exposition commis sioner, who has just placed this valuable collection at the disposal of Director of Exhblts Henry E. Dosch. It will be brought to Portland early In the Spring. Just what the American school will send has yet to be decided and the plans of England, Japan. Holland. Switzerland, Turkey and other nations are yet in embryo. Germany has not designated the nature of the art contributions from that country, but it is expected the paintings will be selected from the imperial pal aces. The art display will be fabulous in value. There will be not a few single paintings worth, on the market, at least 5100.000. which is no uncommon price for a good picture from tne brush of a mas ter. The art display will represent more money than will tie spent in producing the entire Exposition and will be kept under the closest guard day and night SELECTS BUILDING SITE. Coos County's Pavilion Is 'No't Mere Idle Talk. Coos County demonstrated that the recent plans for a county pavilion is not more idle - talk by sonding an' official-representative to Portland yester day for the purpose of selecting a building site. L.. L. Deffenbaugh. rep resenting the Coos County Chamber of Commerce, reached Exposition head quarters during the forenoon and was escorted to the grounds by D. C. Free man, who went over the dlfforent sites with the visitor. Mr. Deffenbaugh de cided on a plot of ground. 100 feet by 100 feet, situated a short distance north and oast of the Plaza of States. Coos County will have a building force here at work shortly after the first of the year. Mr. Deffenbaugh said. The pavilion will be 50x60 feet, con structed entirely out of Coos County woods. The plans will shortly be ready to be placed in the hands of a builder The pavilion will- cost. $10,000. Coos now loads the counties of the state in the matter of Exposition en terprise While Marlon, Clackamas and several others have applied for large space allotments. Coos County bears the distinction of being the first to provide for a separate exhibit pavil ion. The funds are being provided by enterprising merchants and citizens, no appropriation having been made by the County Court Phil Sheridan's Blockhouse. A historic log blockhouse which served as the headquarters of General Phil Sher idan during the Indian wars of 1S53-56, now stands in good condition at a point about 15 miles from Sheridan, Or. The Exposition management may decide to mo'e the structure to the Portland Ex position some time during the Winter Besides its value as a historical relic, th'e structure is picturesque and would no doubt be an attraction of great Interest Band of Ostriches May Come. A Los Angeles man wants to bring a band of ostriches to the Exposition. In a letter to headquarters he writes that he has a large drove of the big birds and would.be willing , to .-bring them all here if he could get a space allotment on which to build a corral. He wishes to have a concession and to pay his expenses by selling ostrich feathers, which, he says, could be secured by the rather painful method of allowing purchasers to pluck a choice feather from one of the live birds. - - - To Erect Perfyme Fountain. . . An Eastern perfume, m'anuf acturei . has asked for space-for a.perfurhe foun: tain In the Liberal Arts building. His idea is to have a huge supply bottle of perfume which will spout forth from fountain superstructure during exhibit hours. He also states that he would be willing to offer cash prizes for those guessing nearest xto the capacity, in gallons, pints and ounces, of the supply Dottle. MEYERS' GOOD LUCK MANY DOCTORS COMING. Medical Association Convention Will Be Largely Attended. The meeting of the American Medical Association In Portland next Summer will f be one of the best and fn6st widely at tended conventions of the Fair year. The local committee on arrangements Is al -ready beginning to receive Inquiries from all parts of the country, seeking informa tlon regarding the accommodations for delegates and the possibility of securing room for their wives and children. The American doctors are apparently going to come from many sections and attend in large bodies. This, however.- was anticipated by the Portland doctors, who have agreed from the start to throw open their homes to the visitors, but it now seems as If even such hospitality would not Insure room sufficient for the delegates-, and a plan has been hit UDon to cD-ODerate with Man ager Bowers! of.-the Portland Hotel, and leave the matter largely to him. By the aid of the bureau which he has now in working order, he can secure bcVvrejm 2000 and 3000 rooms in hotels, apartment houses and private houses, which can bo contracted for Id advance. Rates will bo reasonable, much more so than in any other Exposition city the country has seen, for the Portland Hotel Itself will charge but a moderate rate. The doctors are not low to make their contributions to the entertainment fund necessary for the convention, and It probable that the meeting here will be one of the most enjoyable and memorable in the history of the association. It Is ex pectcd that 510.000 will be raised here in Portland, and already considerable contrt buttons have been made. The rest of the state will also aid, and even outside near by states will contribute. The Idaho Med leal Society at a. recent meeting took up a voluntary subscription and raised $000 on the spot Thte convention will be extremely Im portant, and may result In medical discov eries which will turn the eyes of the world on this city. Doctors often save the re suits of their Investigations for such oc casions, and deliver addresses before the assembly which prove to be discoveries which revolutionize the medical science, DUPIUS HOTEL BTJENS. Oswego Hostelry a Victim of a Greedy Conflagration. The disused Duplus Hotel at Oswego, which lost Its trade several years ago, when the Oregon Iron & Steel Company's plant ceased operations, was burned to the ground about 6 o'clock yesterday morning, and as a consequence a portion of the power of the Portland General Electric Company from Oregon City was shut off. Lighting plants in apartment- houses and office buildings in this city deriving their power from the Oregon Olty electric plant were plunged Into darkness for several hours, and many trolley cars were forced to stand Idle. A large pole standing In front of the old hotel "building bore heavy power wires and when the flames reached them there was a brilliant electrical display which was seen for a considerable distance -on both sides of the river. The pole that had weathered the blasts of many stormy nights ulttmatoly went down beneath Its load of wires, and it was at least four or fli'o hours before enough cloctricity could be harnessed and distributed to trolley cars and elevators waiting for it The hotel was built at a cost of $2000, whon times were good around Oswego, but at the time of the fire the two-story deso late-looking frame structure was esti mated to be worth $300. As to the cause of the fire, there is no positive "knowledge. but the unknown tramp that is univer sally supposea 10 sieep o- nignis in uis used houses Is blamed for carelessnes in lighting his cigarette. WILLIAM CASTLEMAN HERE. Famous American Tenor Seekina Needed Rest in Oregon. William Castleman, the famous Amer lean grand-opera tenor, is the guest of his relatives. State Senator and Mrs. Herbert Holman, 787 Overtoil street, and expects to remain here about two months, until he recovers his health. Last August Mr. Castleman visited this city and early in September returned to the East to prepare for his grand-opera season, as he expected to sing in St Petersburg early In the new year, and to sing at Cairo. Egypt two years hence. But ill-health from studying too hard has somewhat interfered with his jjlans, and he has arrived In Oregon to. seek needed rest His glorious tenor voice was never in better condition than It is now, as those who have heard llm sing mis weeit in tne privacy pi ms room can testiiy. Not so very long ago Mr. Castleman dl vlded honors with Jean de Reszke, said to oe tne most famous living tenor, in singing Wagnerian grand opera in Paris hi nvai opera-nouses, situated only a short distance from each other. It?. was as leading tenor for the Bostbnlans fhat Mr. Castleman made his first great hit in this country, and he successfully sang in grand opera at The Hague. Paris and other European music eentors returning 10 America to sing in opera under the direction of C B. Dillingham. ADVERTISING- MEN HERE. Railroad Agents to Advertise th Lewis and Clark Fair. W. R. Callaway, general passentrer acent of the Soo system, and Ci A. Bramble, ad vertising agGnt of the -Canadian Pacific, aren the city looking over the Exposition grounds and gathering material to be used in advertising the Fair throughout the length of their roads. Both of the gentlemen are old advertis ing men and have had much to do with the prominence of their roads before the people of the United States. Both recog nize that the Fair will be the means of drawing many thousands of neonle to tho Western Coast during the coming Sum mer, and .each is anxious to gather for his company all the travel possible. They will inereiore aaveruse ine -Exposition gen erally along the line of the Soo and the Canadian systems and' will attemnt tn bring as many people West as; is possl- Die. Passing Bad Bills. Despite the strenuous activity of the Portland detective force and Joe Day, $1 bills are being raised to $10 bills and passed right along. The last one to come In was brought to the central police sta tion last night by one of the colored por ters of the Hotel Portland. It was first passed on MraSpencer, who conducts a stand at 47 Second stree't North. She turned It over to Fj D. Thomas, her land lord, for rent He loaned it to the porter who attempted to purchase cigars with It but failed. BUSINESS ITEMS. ir Babr "i Cattl&c Teeth.

Buys CUDAHY WANTS THE CONTROL Alaska Packers Now Ill-Prepared to Meet Price-Cutting War Proba bly to Be StaVted by Chicago Wen Through Agents. Ai the recent sale of the Pacific Packing & Navigation Company's prop erties, George T.. Meyers, Jr., of this fc'lt. made his v reappearance into the salmon World and IS now the owner of vOni? of the most valuable southeastern Alaska canneries. His purchase consisted of the Pacific Packing & Navigation Company's can nery On Chatham Straits, Alaska, to gether with the steam tug- Philip F. Kelley and the ship Kate Davenport, the total price being $40,00d. Mr. Meyers has been extremely for tunate in securing such properties at the price paid. The cannery was built four years ago at a cost It Is said, of the purchaser had t6 order a carload, assorted into half a carload of Alaska reds- and one-quarter car each of Puget Sound sockeyes and pinks. In that way the combine, owing to Its depleted .treasury and the absolute necessity to realize on, Its pack, was forced to sell a the packers' prices, while under th$ terms of sale the latter Were enabled to make their smaller packs carry them through. In a flght now It would se6m that the positions would be reversed and that Demlng & Gould would hold the w'h'ip- hand. More especially is this true slnde they have the financial backing to carry on a war for control' while the Alaska Packers' Association is far from being in a healthy condition at this time. While It won In the .fight against the combine, It left it ill-prepared to en counter the recent poor seasons. It is a well-known fact that " th'e Packers Association has lost heavily In the past two years on account of the shortage in packs and hat trouble lh the Internal affairs of the company Is beginning to appear on the surface. It IS reported that at the coming annual meeting an attempt will be made to dispose of considerable property deem ed td be unproductive and also that a change In officers will be made. . With all the Indications in view, the events of the next few months .will be watched with considerable Interest by the salmon men.

LEAVES FOR PARIS EARLY IN JANUARY Very few young: musicians have made themselves so popular M such a ehort time In Portland aa Arthur I. Alex ander, tenor soloist and director of the choir of the Cathedral of the Im maculate Conception, and his many friends here will regret to learn that Mr. Alexander has decided to leave early next month for Paris, France, to pursue further his musical ptudle. notably organ playing. Last Septem ber, Mr. Alexander came here from Seattle, practically a stranger, to rnaXo his home with hln relatives, who live In this city. ,He had received his mu slral training in Chicago and othor Eastern cities and in ' France. Mr. Alexander was honored with a recep tlonmulcale at the Hobart Curtis, and won admiration for his beautlfully clear tenor voice and for the sIU he alio displayed In playing piano accom paniments. Most of the notable, rep resentative people of the city were present, and it was hoped that the gucrt of the evening would make this clly his permanent home. He was appointed to the directorship of the choir of the Cathedral-of the Immac ulate Conception, and last month be came the director of the Orpheus male chorus. In addition, he has appeared with marked success as a slmjcr and accom panist before the University Club. But a tempting offer has been made to Mr. Alex ander to go to Paris, where a broader musical field awaits him, for he has already been offered a position as choir director and organist of a Paris church. Sometime between Christmas and- Ndw Year's Mr. Alexander wll. appear at a concert to b given here, at which Mrs. Roee Bloch Bauer, lira. Walter Reed, the Orpheus male chorus, and. other dingers, wlU assist. It Is understood that after January. 1 the music at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception will be exclusively by male voices. Arthur I. Alexander, Tenor. p'Telegram Received. at Exposition Headquarters "Here States That Mernbers of Commission Will Ask for $60,000. New York has suddenly come to view the Lewis and Clark Exposition In a broader light than before, r Notwith standing that the . Empire Stae set aside the substantial sum of $35,000 to be expended herd, this sum Is to be nearly doubled. A telegram, to ttiis effect was re ceived yesterday at Exposition head quarters from F. R. Green, chairman of the New York State Commission for the lwls and Clark Centennial. The telegram stated that the members of the commission have concluded that at least 550,000 Will be needed by New York for the Portland Fair and that this amount will be secured at the coin ing session of the Legislature. While no statement of the use to which the extra appropriation will be put was made In the telegram, it Is believed New York intends to construct a larger state building than the 515,000 structure previously decided upon. 5125,000. It Is fully equipped with all modern appliances for the packing of salmon and has a capacity of 75,000 cases per season. Since its oroctlon,. a period covering the poorest output of salmon for many years, this Chatham cannery has averaged 45,000 cases per season. Its location and equipment make It one of the best salmon prop ertlcs on the Alaskan Coast. Of the floating equipment, tho tug Philip F. Kelley is said to have cost 53S.000 when built, and It Is today one of the best tugs In tho fishing industry Tho ship Kate Davenport has a carry ing capacity of 2000 tons and was used for lighterage purposes between Seattle and the canneries by the former own ers. There is also included in tho float lng equipment two large gasoline launches, and another purchase gave Mr. Meyers the ownership of tho tug Geo. T., for 53500. This latter tug was built by Mr. Meyers a few years ago and sold to the Pacific Packing & Navi gation Company for 510,000. Of tho different bids offered for the Various properties of tho Pacific Paok- Ing & Navigation Company that of Mr. Meyers is probably the only ono that will be confirmed. In many cases tho bids were so ridiculously small that the courts would not entertain them, and such properties will be again offered for sale next Saturday along with those upon which no bids were rocelved. The former sale was disappointing In many ways, and it is a safe prediction that when everything Is disposed of there will be but little in tho way of remuneration for the creditors and stockholders of the defunct combine. The Demlng & Gould Company did not enter Into tho sale to the extent expected. They had only two bids in. 335,000 for the Chlgnlc cannery and 520,000 for the Orca property, these In eluding valuable floating equipment. such as the ships J. D. Peters and SL Paul and various largo tugs. These bids, however, were so far below the former upset price on the properties that It is doubtful if they will be con firmed. Acting for Cudahy. While this latter bidding was done in the name of E. B. Demlng It Is gener ally understood that he was acting for the firm of which he Is a partner and which in turn represents the Cudahys of Chicago. Recent developments strengthen the prediction made a short time ago that the Cudahys, through Demlng & Gould. are again entering the salmon business and propose to be a strong competitor for the control of the market. When McGovem failed to complete his purchase of the Pacific American Fisheries, Demlng' & Gould assumed his bid and the courts have since con firmed the sale to them. Should thevM chases the two canneries bid on at tho last sale they will be in a position to carry the war almost to the Alaska Packers Association, the hitherto domi nant factor in the market. Owning, as they do now, the properties of the Pacific American Fisheries and the North American Fisheries, Doming & Gould will control the Puget Sound sockeye pack, and with the Alaska can neries bid on they would have a suf ficient pack there to force the Alaska packers. That everything woold tend toward their success in such a fight can be judged from the war In which the Alaska Packers' Association engaged the Pacific Packing & Navigation Com pany and which forced the latter, into bankruptcy. At that time the combine put up the largest Individual pack of sockeyes on Puget Sound and of the cheaper grades of fish in Southeastern Alaska while the Alaska Packers con trolled the Alaska red fish. Alaskans Cut Prices. The tactics adopted by the Alaska packers in their flght was that of price cutting, and In spite of their disad vantage In the matter of Puget Sound ockeyes, they forced the combine to sell its pack at what was to it a ruin ous price. A good price was maintain ed on the Alaska red salmon, but a big cue was maoe on tne aouna socKeyes rtd cheaper grades of fish, with the method of sale, however, that In order to receive the benefit of the cut prices living at 4SS Tenth street, has been tacitly agreed upon as Councllmen of the Fifth Ward, to succeed B. D. SIgler. who re tires January 1, to take the County As sessor's office. Mr. Boothe says he is a candidate for the position. From the beginning it was understood that Mr. SIgler should have the privilege of naming his successor, who Is to be elected by the Council. Mr. SIgler will present his resignation at the next ses sion. A .number of residents of the Fifth Ward have been after the chair to be vacated, and the nominations will prob abty be made at the same time Mr. Slg ler's resignation Is presented.
