SOLON'S CONSIDER BILL
Appropriation of $50,000 Is
Asked From-Legislature.
STATE EXECUTIVE IS COMING
Governor La Fpllette Is to Leave Wis
consin by Special Train and Ar- v
rive In Portland for the
Opening Ceremonies.
In the General Assembly of the State
of "Wisconsin yesterday a bill was In
troduced appropriating: the sum of $50.
000 for a representation for the state at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The
bill Is fostered by leaders of both the
House and Senate, It has an emergency
clause attached to make the money
aallable immediately, and Indications
are that the bill will be rushed in Its
passage and that by the first of the
coming -week a Commissioner will leave
Madison, the Wisconsin state capital,
iv 1th the plans of the stato pavilion in
his pocket.
From Special Commissioner Colin H.
Mclsaac. who is at present in Madison,
a message was received at Exposition
headquarters yesterday. The text of
the message was as follows: "Bill in
troduced for $50,000. Expect to pass
for $30,000." The Exposition officials,
notwithstanding the fact that they had
been repeatedly assured that "Wiscon
sin would do nobly by the Fair, were
highly elated at this message.
What Wisconsin Will Do.
It is the intention of Wisconsin to
erect a state pavilion at the Exposition
and to house therein one of the most
complete exhibits to be made. Tho pa
ilion will be of pleasing design, for
which the plans have already been
drawn. Jt will bo constructed imme
diately upon the arrival of the Wiscon
sin State Commissioner in Portland.
The exhibit will be varied and will
show the resources of the state. When
first approached by the representatives
of the Exposition, Governor La Fol
lette, of Wisconsin, oxpressed himself
as heartily in accord with the idea of
Ms state making on exhibit at the
fair. He approved of tho. matter in
his message to the Legislature and
asked the Legislators to prepare and
rasa a bill immediately. The bill has
row been introduced.
It is in dairying and forestry that the
State of Wisconsin win make its prin
cipal representations. In these mat
ters Wisconsin feels that sho is closely
allied to Oregon, and It was this as
much as anything also that persuaded
Governor La Follettoand his Leglsla-.
tors to rogard the Lewis and Clark Ex
rnsltion in a favorable light. The re
sources of Wisconsin in forestry and.
dairying will be well displayed, while
tho educational display and tho agri
cultural and horticultural exhibits will
bo in keeping with tho tone of tho rep
resentation. The great work of gath
ering these exhibits will begin imme
diately, and as rapidly as they are pre
pared they will be shipped to Portland,
to be placed in the state building as
soon as it is completed.
Governor La Foliette to Come.
To cap tho climax and to siiow that
W lsconsin Is Indeed taking a great in
terest in Oregon and the Exposition,
Governor La Foliette, his staff, the
greater part of tho State Legislators
and the officers of the state militia,
together with tho State Senators and
oher important men in manufacturing
and commercial circles, will be present
nt the Exposition on the oponing day
and will participate In the opening
ceremonies.
This matter was decided upon some
t'me ngo. Governor La Foliette bolng
the originator of the idea. An excur
sion train will leave Madison several
days before the Exposition opens, car
rjing the distinguished party. Tho
tour will bo made via the Northern
Pacific from St. Paul, and the party
will take advantage of the trip to visit
Important places of intorcst along the
route. The train will arrive in Port
land on the evening before the opening
of the Exposition. Governor La Fol
iette will be the guest of honor at a
dinner in his honor, and on the follow
ing day will participate in the opening
exercises, and also formally open to I
the public the Wisconsin state build- j
l.g, On that day a reception to all
Wisconsin people in the Northwest will
be held at tho state building, the event I
doing much to insure the success of j
the opening day.

to Attack of Pneumonia.
CLATSKANIE. On, Jan. IS.Special.)
In the death of Cyrus Crane Lee, of
Clatskanie, Oregon has lost -another of
its stalwart pioneers. Mr. Lee was.

his advanced age, he Quickly succumbed
to the ravages of the disease. He was
buried Wednesday afternoon.
Mr. Lee was born in Montgomery Coun
ty, Indiana, near Crawfordsvllle, In 183L
He came of a family of Indiana pioneers,
and it was no more than natural that

and women who opened the Golden Coast.
Mr. Lee was married to Miss Mary An
derson, August 21, 1853, and three years
later found tho young people members of
an emigrant train bound for California.
It took six months for the emigrant train
to reach Red Bluffs. CaL There Mr. Loe
and his wife settled. In 1S6S, a desire to
see Indiana again resulted in a return
East. There he remained until August,
when he came to Oregon, settling at
Clatskanie, whero he lived until his death.
He is survived by his wife and four chil
dren, Mrs. Ida TIchenor, wife of the
Mayor of Clatskanie; Mrs- Grace Tiche

Legislature-'Will Be Asked to Make
Appropriation People From
Southern State Will Flock
to the Exposition.
From Arkansas, the country of the
joke, the illicit still and well-known
Southern drawl, where the mountains are
picturesque and bubbling springs entice
the disease-stricken back to health, has
come a letter to Tom Richardson, of the
Commercial Club.
The letter Is from J. L. Carraway, the
financial and railroad editor of the" Ar
kansas Democrat, published at Little
Rock, and comes In answer to a copy of
the New Year's Orcgonlan, and a letter
from Colonel Richardson, requesting to
know how things were progressing in
Arkansas, and whether the people there
knew Portland was to have an Exposition
this year.
Mr. Carraway says, among other things:
"The management of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, which will be opened at
Portland. Or., on the first day of the
coming June, announces that Arkansas
will have a place in that great Fair. The
people of this state have heretofore
known little of the enterprise which Is
In the building on the western slope of
the great Rockies a -grand exposition of
the achievements and resources of this
great country. The people of Arkansas
and the great Southwest have come to
regard the Exposition at Portland as a
local affair. They have come to the con
clusion that the states on the Pacific sea
board are the only sections of the world
which "will be benefited by the Fair. In
this they are mistaken. Many states out
sldes those through which the celebrated
Lewis and Clark expedition passed are
making preparations for even greater
things than were seen at the St. Louis
fair. Now York State has appointed a
commission, whoso business it Is to look
well to the exhibit of that commonweal Ju
Texas, one of the greatest states in the
Union, is making ready to show the
world that, while her display at St Louis
was among the finest apd most compre
hensive, that at Portland will overshadow
and outshine her hitherto best efforts.
"What will Arkansas do? That is a
question which is being asked on every
side. Tho convening of tho Legislature
last Monday in this city has created still
greater interest in the attitude this state
will take In this matter. That there will
be grand exhibits of the resources of this
state ls certain. Tho mineral deposits
will be shown as never before attempted.
John P. Logan, president of the National
Horticultural Bociety, who is a State Sen
ator in the present General Assembly, has
stated that the fruitgrowing interests of
this stato will be well represented at.
Portland. President Alonzo W. Covington,"
of the Senate, has said that he is in
favor of the state making an exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and will
use his influence to that ond. C. C. Cate.
Speaker of the House, has said that the
stato can spend money to no better ad
vantage than in making an exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
"Bryan Snyder, late passenger traffic
managed for the Frisco Railroad Com
pany, is now devoting his entire- time and
attention to tho management of an enor
mous fruit farm in tho northern part of
this state, and he, together with a large
number of horticulturists, will make a
comprehensive display of the possibilities
of the state in this line. The zinc and
copper interests ot the stato will bo well
represented, as will the great bauxite de
posits near Little Rock. It ls a well
known fact that no less than &5 per cent
of the bauxite of the world Is produced
within a few miles of Little Rock, and.
when the general use to which aluminum
is being put is considered, there will be a
great interest centering around this ex
hibit alone.
"AH sections of the state nre begin
ning to realize that there Is something In
the Fair at Portland, and even now, al
though it is a little early, parties are be
ing arranged, and several of these will
tako the side trip through the wonderful
Yellowstone Park on the way. The rail
road representatives are already In the
fiold, and It is said that they arc closing
some contracts for excursion parties to
the great Northwest during the coming
Summer. The great need In this section
of the country ls publicity. The people
as a whole do not know what the Fair Is
to be. and therefore are not as deeply in
terested as thoy otherwise would be.
"The statement that the buildings of the
Fair will bo more concentrated is hailed
with delight by the people ot this state.
The general plan of the grounds at St
Louis was too extensive for the ordinary
visitor to be able to take In the entire Ex
position. With the place mapped out for
the Portland Fair It will be different.
One may go to Portland see every de
partment of tho Exposition, and return
home within a comparatively short length
of time. These arc small things, but it
will be shown that they will affect tho ul
timate success of the undertaking.
"Arkansas and Arkansans will "Hit the
Trail" early in the Summer, and doubt
less that fact will add materially to the
success of the Fair. The Oriental ex
hibits at the Portland Fair will attract
many who would not otherwise attend.
The display from the Orient will have far
less distance to come than was the case
In the St. Louis Fair, and the trouble In
transfcring them from ship to' railroad
car will be eliminated. Tho shipments will
be delivered at Portland without change.
direct from the ship. The international
feature of the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion will In no way be the !jast at
tractive."' IN FAVOR OF CLOSING FAIR.
Northwest Methodist Conference Goes :
on Record.
With the Northwest Methodist confer- j
ence yesterday in the Taylor-Street Meth
odist Church there was a spirited ad
vocacy for closing the Lewis and Clark
World's Fair on Sunday, and the following
resolution was passed:
"Resolved. That it is the sense of this
body that the gates of the Lewis and
' Clark Fair should be closed on the Lord's
! day. as were those of the Louisiana Pur
i chase Exposition at St. Louis."
Bishop D. H. Moore and Dr. Fletcher
L. Wharton were strongly In favor of
' Sunday oponing and although they spirlt
; edly fought the resplution to close Uie
, Exposition, it was finally passed. Bishop
j Moore advocated that a quiet exhibition
be maintained on Sunday for the benefit
, of those who could not visit the Fair
- grounds during the week. It was only
t necessary, he thought, to close the
"Trail and keep the machinery sun.
Many of Portland's prominent Methodists

BUSINESS FIRMS TAKE STAND
AGAINST CREDIT RECORDS.
Say the Benefits Would Accrue Only
to Money-Lenders, Job-Seek-
ers and Schemers.
PORTLAND. Jan. 10. ITe the Editor.)
In the interest of the merchants ot thi
atate and the public generally we desire to
call attention to Houso bill No. - 34, and
Senate bill No. 40, now pending before the
Legislature. We believe that the effect of
there bill. It enacted into law. will be al
together bad and that the occasion rail
for an emphatic protet from the persons
chiefly Interested and heft acquainted with
the situation.
In brief each ot thete bills requires the
recording of contracts of conditional sale
of personal property, and leases of iuoh
property with right ot purchase. House
bill No. 34 requires the contract to be ac
knowledged and to be recorded in any coun
ty into vrhlch the personal property may be
moved. Senate bill No. 4C requires the re
cording of the contract in the office ot the
County Clerk of the county In which the
vendee rerldes at the time he takes pos
session. Under either bill, compliance with
the law would require the recording of the
contract in a public record kept in the o-flee-
of the County Clerk. -the payment of
the fees therefor, and the execution of a
dltcharge or satisfaction of the contract
upon completion of payment for the prop
erty.. A conditional sale Is simply a sale upon
the Installment plan. The purchaser get
the use of the article while he is paying for
It, and It becomes his as soon as he pays
for It
Privacy Is Desired.
As a rule neither the merchant nor his
customer wishes to have his private af
fairs made a matter ot public record un
less there ls good reason for It. In thia
case we fall to see the good reason. The.
public has no more right to know whether
A's bed or threshing machine ts paid for
than it has to know how much B owes the
bank. The sale ot personal property on credit
ts as necessary and legitimate as any other
commercial transaction, but It is not a
thing that cither party to the sale desires
to advertise, and there is not one such case
la i thousand where the public or any
member ot It besides the parties to th
transaction has any Interest except one ot
mere curiosity.
It may be said that the possession of
rach goods elves a man a false basis oC
credit, or that he may sell the goods as
his own and cheat the purchaser. As a mat
ter of fact, by far the greater portion of
conditional sales involve goods which are
exempt from attachment or execution ex
cept for the purchased price, and are in no
sense a basis of credit. If any idea of this
kind ls at the bottom of these bills, tho i
author would do well to provide a general
bureau tor the registration of private af
fairs making It obligatory, under heavy
penalty, for each man and woman to re
cord weekly a detailed sworn statement of
his or her property and debts, so as to
establish a true basis ot credit. The bill's
under consideration are simply a step In
that direction; and there Is no us going at
It piece-meat
Think Bill Unreasonable.
The goods sold on conditional sales are not
ordinarily articles ot commerce after they
pass out of the merchant's hand. Posses
sion ot personal property .never establishes
ownership, and anyone who buys such prop
erty does so at hi peril, in reliance upon
his own knowledge or the personal Integrity
ot the seller, rather than upon his pos
session of the goods. Conditional sales ar
as well known as ordinary leases or loans.
and the purchaser taken the same chances j
In tee one case as in me oiner. weuia uu
gentlemen who are fathering this bill think
It wise to provide that one who purchases
personal property from another la possession
hall get good title against the true owner
unltaa the owner's title is recorded? Hard
ly; and if not. they ought to confess that
these bills are unreasonable.
Compliance with these proposed laws
would not only be exceedingly distasteful
and humiliating to both" buyer and seller,
but it would be vcrr cumbersome and expensive-
Mon conditional sales in this
city Involve less than S0; the terms of
credit axe short, and the total number of
such transactions ls so grejt that the re
cording of the contracts would mean a
large increase of the force In the clerk's

and money consumed by the red-tape of
this n?wly Invented officialdom would be a
rious burden upon the hcuscs engaged la
business jf this kind.
In conclusion we regard these measures
as a step too .far along the road towarl oCl
clal "regulation" of all things under th?
sun and offices for everybody. Our credit
business is primarily a question between
ourselves and our customers, and we object
to having it made public property In the
absence of any legitimate public purpose- to
be served thereby. The present laws L
well understood, and It does not deprlvo
any man of anything that belongs to him.
The proposed would cut off a large per
centage of credit sales, which are Important
both to us and to thosn customers who need
goods but are unable to pay for them In ad
ance; and It would Increase vastly the ex
pense of the remaining credit business. TliW
advantage would be, to those money-lenders
who deal In chattel mortgage, to persons In
need of official position 1h tho offices ot th
County Clerks or the state and to creditor

they might be able to make their claims'

is taken to mean that Bullus will be dis
honorably discharged at a near dato, as
Chief Hunt wished this privilege.
Patrolman Bullus Is a member of the
first relief, commanded by Captain
Moore. Why It was Jiecessary for the
policemen, of the second relief, under the
command of Captain Bailey, to be called
from their sleep to be in attendance, ls
not known, although those interested are
discussing the probable reason. At any
rate, such a thing is without precedent
and has caused considerable feeling among
the men whose rest was thus disturbed.
General Becbe's lecture was couched In
no uncertain language. He said that Bul
lus had acted In a most reprehensible
manner: that he had brought stigma upon
the entire force, and that policemen who
wish to remain with the department must
behave themselves in a dignified, honor
able manner. Such conduct as Bullus
had been guilty of, he said, will not be
tolerated.
The charge against Bullus was refusing
to salute an acting sergeant and using
profane language toward him. Chief Hunt
declined to read the evidence, in which
was included what Bullus said to the
acting sergeant and the latter to Bullus.
Some of those present, however, say they
would have been glad to hear the con
versation that took place between the two
officers. Some say that the acting ser
geant was equally as Insulting as the pa
trolman. MAY TIE UP BIG RAILROAD.
Trainmen Ready to Strike on Penn
sylvania Lines if Morrissey Orders.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 19. Though
both sdes are firm and not disposed to
yield anything-, developments today in
the controversy between the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company and the
Brotherhood of Trainmen indicated
that an amicable settlement of the dis

a resjrt to extreme measures. The
chance of a strike was temporarily
averted by the decision of Vice grand

tho purpose of consultation.
Upon the latter's attitude and the
: result of' a conference which Mr. Morr
f rissey and the brotherhood committee

brotherhood east of Pittsburg; and Erie

o that in, case a strike is decided
upon, the-order to suspend work can
be carried Into effect at once.

to the company and trainmen alike.

a freight congestion on some of the
company's lines. If the strike is de-
clarcd freight traffic will be vlrtually
sioppou, coul traffic might be blocked,
and the heavy shipments of freight c
