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.

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 whon the Westward movement took pos session of the East that Mr. Lee should ' BBR llBBBBr Cyras Crass Xee. bo a member of that sturdy band of men and women who opened the Golden Coast.

The annual rollcall of the First Congre gational Church, which occurred last night, showed a most satisfactory condi tion of church affairs, both as regards work and membership. TIiIb church Is now the second in polat of momborshlp in the city, last night's rollcall giving 703 names. There have been 107 additions to Uie church since last. year, which Is a ret gain of 76 over all losses caused by death and removals. Reports revealed tho fact that tho First Congregational still holds the position it gained in 1S03. that of tenth out pf 6000 Congregational churches In the United States in Increased gain of membership.

This society will pay $3000 toward the church debt. This debt, by the way. amounts to $3Q.0(X and was assumed a year ago Easter. It has all been paid in byt about 5K. and that amount will be on hand soon. Some Sun day next month the mortgage will ba burned and the First Congregational Church declared debt free. During the two years and four months that Dr. House has occupied this pastor ate there have been 61 additions to the church, an average of more than 100 per year. WILL HCPROVE SIDING.

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 were present at the conference. I To Install Grange. Officers.

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 (EVERY PAIR MADE TO Has the Prestige of a Quarter Century of Popular Favor No Other $3.50 Shoe Equals It It is strictly in advance . and on the ascendency. Twenty-iive years-ago it was the best j-todaj" the "Pack ard" is ; twenty-five years -better. , The "Packard" styles- are always six months in advance of all others. "They simply reflect fashion's maturing decrees. That's of is never oface. The recording fees and the time 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 whose hope It wculd be that by some over sight In the recording of such contracts, they might be able to make their claims' KOvl out of property that did not belong to their debtor.

Bullus Is Called Before His Fellow-Policemen and Rebuked for Neglect of Family. Patrolman W. J. Bullus was made to stand facing the officers of the first and second reliefs of police, at headquarters, for ten minutes laat night, while- General C. F. Beebe, of the BxecuUve Board, un mercifully scored him for neglect of his family and alleged disgraceful conduct with another woman, both on and pft duty. Bullus never winced, but tookrthe unusually severe reprimand without a tremor. As published yesterday. Patrolman Bul lus tendered his resignation, to take ef fect February 1, but yesterday Chief of Police Hunt, before the two reliefs, stated that It would not be accepted by the po lice committee and Mayor Williams. This 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 pute may be effected shortly without a resjrt to extreme measures. The chance of a strike was temporarily averted by the decision of Vice grand Master Lee and his associates to send for Grand Master P. H' Morrissey for tho purpose of consultation. Upon the latter's attitude and the : result of' a conference which Mr. Morr f rissey and the brotherhood committee win nave witn uenerai .Manager ai terbury tomorrow, the question of a strike is dependent All of the 45 local unions in the brotherhood east of Pittsburg; and Erie . have been supplied with cipner codes o that in, case a strike is decided upon, the-order to suspend work can be carried Into effect at once. A strike at this time would be costly to the company and trainmen alike. For several weeks past there, has been a freight congestion on some of the company's lines.
