MEAD RETURNS HOME New Building Site Is Located 100 Feet West of the One First Se lected, and Meets All Requirements. Washington will not build her state pavilion on the site where Governor ..Mead broke ground on Saturday, but will build, instead, on a site about 100 yards farther west. This Is the result of a series of conferences between, the -State Commission and the Exposition officials lasting through Saturday after noon and all of yesterday. After the first site tendered the "Wash ington people by President Goode had been accepted and Governor Mead had broken ground for the erection of the state pavilion, the State Commission held a meeting at the Portland Hotel to discuss plans for the Washington building, and at that t time it was sug gested that the Exposition officials be asked for a better site. The suggestion was mscussea ana ultimately the Ex position officials were called Into -conference. The Washington commissioners declared they thought they ought to have a better site for their building, as the one selected wps in an out-of-the-way place. They stated their belief that the size of the appropriation made by the State of Washington warranted the Ex position officials in giving the state the best possible site. The Exposition people took the matter Under consideration, after explaining that the States of Massachusetts and ' California, which have the best building sites on the grounds, obtained the de sirable sites bjecause they applied for tthem at an early date and sent commis sioners to pick them out. At the meeting Saturday afternoon the matter was not feettled, and another meeting was called for yesterday morning. Hold Out for Better Site. Both the Washington commissioners. vernor Mead and the Exposition oftP I llals were present at this meeting. The I luestlon was thoroughly gone over, the commissioners holding out for a better j site. After the meeting was over a trip i pas made to the Exposition grounds. rhere the commissioners viewed all avail- I table sites. They then returned to the Ity and after luncheon held another leetlng. At this meeting the matter va.s compromised and Washington was liven a new site, as they demanded. The Ite decided upon is about 100 yards lest of the first site selected, has a better tew of the lake, is easily reached and Is every way to be preferred to the first fite. The matter was finally settled to le great satisfaction of all concerned. It was feared at one time during the lontroversy that trouble would result. tumors getting on the streets to the ef- Eect that the Washington commission rs had declared that they would make no xhiblt at the Exposition .unless a new 3ite was granted for its building. At the last meeting, yesterday, all details were settled, the plans for the building were fnpproved, and everything Is now In readiness for the work of con struction, which is expected to commence i by the latter part of the present week. lor the first part of next. Once commenced, Ithe building will be rushed to com- Ipletion, and it is expected it will be fin ished, and all exhibits In place, for the jpening day, when a great number of Washington people will be present and rill desire to be entertained at the Wash ington building. Want More Exhibit Space. Saturday the Washington commission ers asked the Exposition officials for per mission to place a part of the state exhibit in the regular exhibit lbull?ings, in order that more space might be reserved in the Washington building for entertainment purposes. Though this matter has not been settled and probably will not be until the next meeting of the executive committee of the Exposition Board of Directors, it is believed that the desires of the Wash ington commissioners will be granted. , Preparations are to be made by the the date to be decided upon later. On this occasion the Governor will again be in Portland with his staff, special ex cursions will be run from all parts of the State of Washington, there will be special ceremonies at the Auditorium at the Ex position grounds and it will be "Wash ington day" In ovcry sense of the word. Tho commissioners, the Governor and his staff spent the greater part of yes terday settling the question of site, and there was little time left for entertain ment. In the evening, however. Gover nor Mead walked about the business part of tho city with a part of the commis sion, while other members remained at the hotel or strolled about the streets as they desired. The Governor attempted to catch a train out of Vancouver in the early afternoon, but failed, and left last night at 11:45 o'clock for Olympla over the Northern Pacific. Several mem bers of the commission remained behind and will return today. TRAVELING MEN MAY BUILD. Are Considering Plans of Particlpa' tion at Portland Exposition.

Yesterday morning a meeting was held between committees appointed by the "United Commercial Travelers and the Travelers Protective Association, at -which preliminary steps were taken, with a view to providing for traveling men's" day at the Exposition. Nothing definite was done at the meeting other than to dis cuss the various plans for the entertain ment and caro of tho traveling men who will visit the Fair during tho Summer. The meeting was adjourned until Sun dav, February 12, when another session will be held and some definite action taken. During the week the committees will confer with President Goode, of the Exposition, and his views on the question will be heard. It is probable that Mr. Goode will meet with the committee' on Sunday next and help the members In their plana for making traveling men's day one of tho features or tne exposition. The traveling men now have a proposi tlon to erect a building for their order, and this will in all probability be made one of the most attractive headquarters of the wholo number promised and pro- ONE OF THE FINISHED DRIVES IN CENTENNIAL PARK, i. ... , posed. In addition to the general ar rangements for the entertainment of trav eling men and their families when they visit the Exposition, it is desired to set aside one day particularly for the travel ing fraternity, at which time they will have a great part to do with the special exercises of the day. This plan will be argued and deter mined upon at the next meeting, or, at least, will be outlined primarily- and com mittees started to carry the matter up to a successful termination. The traveling men are very enthusias tic xtver the success of the Fair, and from the first have done much to advertise it throughout the territory in which they travel. If their efforts towards securing a special day are successful, the entire membership will unite in trying to make the day one of the most-talked-of special events of tho fair. WILL SEND PARTY TO FA!

COUGAR SS IN GITY Wild Beast Has Haunts Marquam Gulch. in SMALL ARMY ON ITS TRAIL Brute Has Been Prowling in Vicinity for Several Weeks Live Calf Used to Decoy Animal to Its Death. A mountain-lion hunt was held by ten men within the city limits last night. At tho head of Marquam Gulch, on the northern slope of Council Crest, they staked a bull calf in the brush and lay close by to shoot the wild animal when It came to attack the tethered quarry. They did not expect any results till shortly before dawn and the result of their cold vigil is not yet known. For several weeks people living along tho range of hills from Council Crest to the southeast as far as tho spurs that Jut out over South Portland havo heard cries In tho dead of night which have brought them standing from their beds. It seemed as if somo woman or child was in terrible distress. They groped feagcrly for their shoes and trousers, but before they could find them, the cry would turn to a laugh of fiendish delight, and the agitated householders would whistle: "Gee, mountain Hon!" But there have been no known depre dations on the livestock on the outskirts .of town In that vicinity and when morn ing came tho householders would smile at themselves and call it nightmare When the snow fell last month the man living on the old Marquam place, a mile from Council Crest, found large cat-like tracks close by his house when he went out in the early morning. He could not identify them, as ho knew noth ing of wild animals, so he called to his aid Fred Nickerson. who lives in the neighborhood. . Nickerson has been about In the mountains considerably and he knew what the animal was immediately. He called It a rather largo mountain Hon or cougar. A few nights later another neighbor heard a noise In the direction of his stable and chicken yard that sent him out into tho cold night with a lantern 'to Investigate. As he approached, he saw a long, dark body dart through tho air and a moment afterwards heard a heavy crash In the brush. News of the animal spread rapidly, and for a number of days now the hill sides from the Crest down to Portland Heights, along the Seventh-street road, and as far over as South Portland, have been scoured, but the haunts of the ani mal were not located till yesterday when It was decided that he lay crouched some where in the thick brush and woods at the head of Marquam Gulch, not over a quarter of a mile from the farthest point on the loop-line on Portland Heights. All the grown men In that particular locality gathered at nightfall, armed with rifles, shotguns, revolvers and knives. They selected a likely-looking bull calf, half-grown and docile, and tied him in an open place In the brush close by the spring from which flows the stream down Marquam Gulch. They then crouched In the brush in the chill dusk, awaiting developments and preparing to sit dead-still all night. In the hope of shooting the fjeast. PIONEER WOMAN DIES.

Nelson Allen Says Laws Are Being Upheld and Offenders of High and Low Degree Brought to Bar. At the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Rev. E. Nelson Allen preached to a large audience yesterday morning upon "Portland's Great Awakening." He took for his text the 11th verse of the 13th chapter of Romans: "It Is high time to awako out of sleep." Ho said in part: "These words are the Dattle-cry of Port land's great awakening. The pastors of this city in their Ministerial Association have repeated that text and from their pulpits have called upon the people. Irre spective of political belief and religious faith. That a great awakening of the public conscience regarding the duties of citizenship has come about no one can doubt. They will no longer tolerate conditions that flagrantly violate the law and public decency. Offenders will be punished, notwithstanding the statements to the contrary of the officials In power. The Municipal League is to be congratu lated upon its splendid achievements. "The courts in upholding the law and in pointing out in unmistakable terms the duties of executive officials, have added strength to this forward movement. Jur ies havo not been slow In the indictment of men whether in high or low estate. Trial jurors havo brought in verdicts of guilty when the evidence was found suf ficient. "The public has awakened to tho neces sity of dealing vigorously with the liquor traffic. The temperance forces of Port land played a conspicuous part In secur ing the present local option law. and they are now putting forth an arduous effort to maintain Its Integrity. They have sent strong delegations to Salem to protest against all amendments, and the Legislature will do well to maintain a strict neutrality. "With the coming of Dr". Chapman and the opening of his revival services, the whole city will move as one body under his leadership and enter upon a religious and civic life hitherto unknown." NOW IS THE TIME. Rev. H. T. Atkinson Bewails Presence of Procrastinating Church-Goers. At the Epworth M. E. Church, Twenty-third and Irving streets. Rev. Hcnry T. Atkinson has been preaching a sc ries of Interesting sermons based on the words of the three different pros pective disciples referred to in the last few verses of the ninth chapter of Luke. The second in tho series, "Tho Procrastinating Disciple," was deliv ered last night to an attentive congre gation from the text Luke ix:59. In part Rev. Mr. Atkinson said: 'This man was a member of one of three different classes of would-be disciples. He was one of a large num ber who. while they believe In tho ne cessity for certain actions, aro con tinually seeking to put off their pres ent performance. He had heard the former man say. 'Lord I will follow thee whlthorsocver thou goest.' and J had heard Christ's answer. The foxes have holes and tho birds, of the air have nosts, but the son of man hath not where to lay his head;' he felt that while it would be the safest and the best thing to follow Christ, it would be better not to be too rash about it. that a future time would do just" as well. "When his father was laid away and the affairs ot the estate settled up he would be in a much better po sition to be the follower of Jesus, but it would mean too much incon venience now. Christ's refusal to ac cept the man's excuse teaches two Im portant facts, one that the kingdom of God overshadows in importance every human Interest, and the other that no ex cuse, no matter how Important, is suffi cient to justify delay In making up one's mind to be a Christian. The mistake the man made was In counting on what did not belong to him; he thought that a future time would bring- future opportunities, and it Is a painful fact that plenty of others just like him are today doing just. what he did. God speaks to a soul prompting instant ac tion in the acceptance of Christ, but the spirit of evil suggests a future time and such impressions grow weaker the oftener they are resisted. The time to decide for God Is when the power of his spirit has been felt In the early period of life before the frosts of later years have succeeded in hardening the heart, before the time when the black night of spiritual death shall have shrouded the soul In the awful darkness that Is unpenetrated by even the light of the world."

Jackson McMillan, the 19-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George McMillan, pioneers of Garfield, was taken to Spokane this evening by J. C. Lawrence to have his right leg amputated. Young McMillan had hi3 leg injured three years ago while playing baseball, and has been obliged to go on, crutches ever since. Wallace McCamant Gives Views on' Local Conditions, Declaring Lo cal Option Contrary ti Personal Liberty. "On the evening of election day, last June, I met tho secretary of the T. M. C. A. on the street, and he asked me how I had voted on the question of local op tion. I answered that I had always been an advocate of personal liberty and that I had accordingly voted against local option. He seemed antonlshed that any one should vote against local option on such a ground, and he contend ed that In questioning the right of tha majority in a community to impose pro hibition on the minority I took a posi tion antagonistic to the principles on which all popular government Is based. The Idea contained In this, the opening statement of "Wallace McCamant In his address on "Individualism or Paternal Ism. "Which?" given before the People's Forum last night, was the basis of the argument as to whether the people should be governed by purely Individual expres sion or the rule of the majority. The speaker who Is against any form of pa ternalism, used many illustrations of a local character to affirm many ot his as sertions, and in that way forcibly brought out the question of local option. Following his introduction Mr. McCamant said: "Americans will ordinarily concede that each man knows his own business better than any one else know3 It for him, but there is a strong public sentiment to the effect that this principle must yield to the proverb that 'Two heads aro better than one. If two heads are better than one. It follows that 1000 heads are better than 999. If you have community made up of 1999 voters. paternalism claims that any thou sand of these voters, under any and all circumstances, know and can be trusted to declare what is best for the community in general, and also what is best for each individual in the community. Paternal Ism, therefore, lays to the majority the duty of serving as guardian for the indi vidual and protecting him as far as may be from the consequences of his faults. Messrs. Amos, McKercher and Stone are probably wholly lacking In personal and experimental knowledge of the taste and effects of spirituous liquors, yet they be lieve It their duty to devoto their politi cal franchises, to imposing their opinions on this subject on other men of large personal experience. Influence of Liquor. 'The argument is advanced that the con sumption of liquor Induces tho commis sion of crlmo, and, inasmuch as tho pre vention and punishment of crimes are proper governmental functions, therefore the Government is entitled to prohibit the sale of liquor as a means to this end. But extravagant habits lead to dishonesty and therefore to crimes Against property. Should the Government forbid extrava gance as a means of checking crime? There aro probably five thousand men In the City of Portland who drank some spirituous liquor last evening. Perhaps of these a dozen or maybe' a score. through tho lnfluenco of Uquor, were led to violate the law. Should the right of thousands to exercise their own voli tion bo infringed in order that the score may be protected from an influence which leads them into wrong-doing? Should the whole community be placed in a straight- jacket In order that thestate may throw its protecting arm about tne weaKiing?" Continulng on the evil results wnicn oc cur through a paternaUstlc form of gov ernment, tho speaker showed that In the line of prohibition more damage to the community had been wrought by the pre vention of the sale of liquors than if it had been permitted. The aim of government should be, ne said, "not to protect the weakling from the consequences of hl3 errors, but by a largo measure of freedom to evolve a high type of manhood and self-reliance." Cites Local Conditions. In his arraignment -of purely majority rule, without individuaUsm, Mr. McCam ant not only called the National Govern ment Into question, but cited several events In municipal affairs. The matter of lands for the reservoirs, the late fill on Hood street, land frauds and other affairs of local Interest were brought up against .tho present system of government. The speaker, however, In these cases exempted tho officials, his attack being directed against the system. In concluding, he said: "As I read mod ern history I find no civiHzed people with whom IndividuaUsm had such a play as among the early settlers of the 13 Ameri can colonies." He thought that from that settlement had como all the great men ot the United States, and that a political system which evolved such men was right and wise. "Paternalism, which looks to protection and guardianship of tho indi vidual, rather than to tho evolution of manhood, is always wrong and always unwise." According to the usago of the Forum, an hour was devoted to a discussion of tho subject treated by tho speaker, divid ed Into five minutes for each of those who wished to express their views. It required the strong hand of Dr. Stephen S. Wise, the chairman, to hold down several of tho more socialistic at tendants, who had moro to say than could be told in the time allotted. J. D. Stevens required the floor several times in order to express himself, and after a direct question to the speaker as to whether ho had ever read the works of Carl Marx, which was repUed fn the nega tive, had no hesitancy In saying he thought the speaker did not know what he was talking about. Others expressed their individual views, without, however, arriving at any satis factory settlement Pain In the side nearly always comes from a disordered liver and is promptly relieved by Carter's Little Liver Pills.
