OREGON RUBIES H DISPLAY
Dr. David T. Day Announces New
Department for Mining Building
Which Will Point to Over
looked Wealth.
Announcement was made by the Ex
hibits deportment of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition yesterday that the mining
building la to contain the greatest dis
play of precious gems ever gathered
under a roof. George F. Kunz, one of the
greatest experts on diamonds and gems
In the world, has been appointed to take
charge of this department, and he will
arrive in the course of a few weeks to
take up bis work in this connection.
There will be diamonds of the first
water and of priceless value, and rubles,
pearls, sapphires, garnets and a long list
of others. But the feature of the dis
play will be the precious stones that are
produced by the West and Pacific Coast.
In thjs list there will be diamonds, rubles,
sapphires, topaz, kunzite and others.
This display comes from the sugges
tion of Dr. David T. Day. the Govern
ment's mineral expert, who has been de
tailed here to take charge of the mining
exhibits. It is not a mere exhibit of
glittering wealth, to dazzle tho eyes of
Fair visitors. It has a great practical
value and it is for this that Dr. Day de
elded upon its installation. His intention
is to show what the Western country
produces in the way of gems and to show
by direct contrast in what degree they
compare with the products of other con
tinents.
Mining Industry Neglected.
After many years of investigation In
his official capacity as chief of the De
partment of Alines and Mineral Resources
for the United States Government. Dr.
Day has concluded that many profitable
lines of mining Industry are being neg
lectcd In the Western and Coast coun
try. It is known at Exposition Head
quarters that his mission here at this
time is to educate the miner of the West
in more intelligent methods of mining
and that the Government selected the
Lewis and Clark Exposition as the most
effective medium through which to come
in- contact with the Western miner, at
though of this Dr. Day refuses to talk.
being reticent in all matters except those
pertaining to the welfare of the mining
Industry, as is becoming of a Govern
ment official.
Dr. Dav takes the stand that the Wesl
ern people know considerable about gold
and silver and have made much of tak-
lnc these two metals from the earth.
His concern is that the finer gold is not
utilized, that tho Western country is pro
ducing little or no platinum which Is
worth more than gold and which is found
frequently throughout this country in
black sands and materials which are now
being allowed to go to waste. As for
gems, little has been done towaras Duua
lng np this industry, he finds.
The Lewis and Clark collection will
Know oeoDle what they have been missing.
There will be sapphires from Montana,
not only blue sapphires, but snappy
brown ones, and yellow, white, pink and
red sapphires. Then gradations will be
shown In a horseshoe made by George
Bell, a Denver manufacturer.
There will be a diamond from the placer
fields of California. There have been
about half a dozen diamonds found in
these placer fields and the one which will
be brought here is about the size of a
pea and as brilliant as any from the
coldfields of Africa. Oregon rubles will
be another feature. These are very small
and are used only for commercial pur
poses. A collection of topaz stones will
remove the current idea that the topaz
is commonly yellow, as the gem will be
phown In pink and colorless varieties as
well as yellow. California turquoise will
fqrm another interesting part or the dis
play. Experiments In Making Diamonds.
The part of the exhibit, however, that
will catch the eye of the majority of
visitors to the mining building will be
an experimental plant for manufacturing
diamonds. Many theorists and naturalists
have been at work for many years trying
to learn Nature's secret method of produc
5ng diamonds. A prominent Pittsburg steel
manufacturer stumbled upon a process
that produces diamond dust, valuable for
commercial uses, but tne secret osmax
log gems is quite as baffling as ever.
It Is tho process of making diamond dust
that will be shown In the mining building
arid the process is quite simple.
Two thick wires are inserted In a cru
cible, end on end, like the carbons of an
nnc light. In a narrow space between the
two cables is inserted a piece of soft
steel. A heavy current of electricity
is then turned through the wires and thus
the steel is heated to a high temperature.
Then charcoal from sugar is added and
this is quickly absorbed and with this
absorption of carhfcn the steel becomes
cast-iron. It is then passed, by a means
of a fireclay step, through four feet of cold
water and cooled. Thus the exterior
coating contracts and through a terrific
pressure on the heated Interior the dla
mond dust is created.
A collection of gems will be displayed
in a mammoth fire and burglar-proof safe.
which in Itself Is an exhibit, being cast
from a single mass of steel. The door
will be covered with glass during exhibit
hours in order that the gems may be
seen to advantage.
EDITORS WILL ATTEND FAIR
Arrangements Completed for Trip to
Portland After Convention Ends
" Three hundred members of the National
Editorial Association are completing plans
to attend the Lewis and Clark Exposition
in a body late in the Summer. Although
the annual convention of this Important
organization goes- to another point, a ma
jority of the members have announced
that they are not willing to forego the
opportunity of seeing the Portland Fair,
and accordingly the plans for a side trip
to this city are formed.
Their presence at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition will be especially noteworthy
in view of the fact that it was the Edi
torlal Association which first publicly in
dorsed the Fair. This was when the en
terprlse was yet in embryo, being little
more than a fond dream in the mind? o
Portlanders. with misgivings of the ultl
mate success of the idea. Furthermore,
B. B. Herbert, the man who was the one
to advocate the Fair at the meeting. Is
working hard on the plans for the dele
-gallon's -visit to Portland. In a letter to
UNLOADING EXHIBITS FROM A TRAIN IN FRONT OF THE AGRICULTURAL PALACE
F. L. Merrick, manager of the Exposition
Press Bureau, Mr. Herbers says that most
of the delegates are enthusiastic in their
lew of the Portland trip, and that fully
300 editors may be counted upon to attend.
UTAH COMMISSION IS COMING
Will Bring Plenty of Money and
Highly Valuable Exhibit.
SALT LAKE, March 28. Utah's com
mission to the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion will depart for Portland tomorrow
with assets and money in Its possession
totalling almost as large a sum as was
expended by Utah on the St. Louis
World's Fair. In addition to the $30,000
appropriated by the Legislature, tho com
mission received today from the St. Louis J
rair uu UL lis remiiiuiiiu jiiuperi. iiicso
exhibits total in value at least $30,009
and are crated and ready for shipment-
It required IS months and $2000 in cash
to collect and crate the mining exhibit
alone, which, with the concentrating mill,
worth $10,000, comprised an exhibit con
ceded to be of the first quality shown at
St. Louis. In addition, the exhibit turned
over comprises the bulk of the silk and
the educational exhibits. The total ex
hibit fills two and a half freight cars.
L. A. Ostein has -been chosen director
of the educational exhibit, with an avail
able fund of $3000. Mr. Ostein is. a pro
fessor at the Agricultural College- at
Logan.
CITY COUNCIL NEXT
Reformers Have Not Decided
Whom to Name.
DEMOCRATS BOOST DR. LANE
ORATORIOS COMMENCE JUNE 4
Impressive Programme Prepared by
Committee on Conferences.
The first of the oratorios at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition will be held June
4, at which a most Impressive programme
will be rendered. This was decided yes-
.terday by the committee on congresses
and conference. It was likewise decided
to hold oratorios every fourth Sunday
afternoon. The programme for the first
includes "The Messiah." by Handel;
"Stabat Mater." by Rossini; "Te Deum."
by Sullivan, and "St. Cecelia's Mass," by
Gounod.
Professor W. H. Boyer will conduct a
large chorus, composed mostly of local
singers. He has already been assured of
the heartiest support of most of Portland's
best-known singers.
Minnesota Legislator Visits Fair.
B. H. Timberlake, chairman of the
committee on appropriations In the lower
house of the Minnesota. Legislature, was
a visitor at the Exposition grounds yes
terday, and was escorted about every por
tion of the Fair. Mr. Timberlake was
greatly impreased with what he saw, and
asserted he had expected nothing half so
elaborate or a tenth so beautiful as the
picture he found spread out before him.
He said he would take active steps to
wards the preparation of a suitable dis
play from his state 'upon his return, and
expressed the opinion that Minnesota can
not afford to be absent.
Many Boats on Guild's Lake.
To arrange for the installation of sev
eral dozen boats of various kinds on
Guild's Lake. J. M. Truscott. representa
tive of a boat manufacturing establish
ment which has the boating concession at
the Exposition, arrived at tho Fair
grounds yesterday from St. Josephs. Mich.
Mr. Truscott stated that his company
would have every kind of small craft from
a steam launch to a rowboat. The first
shipment will be sent on at an early date,
and service will be opened May 1, as vis
itors will begin to attend the Exposition
In large numbers by that time.
Reports From Precinct Workers Will
Largely Determine the Action of
the Various Committees Rep-
resenting the Factions.
No concerted effort has yet been put
forth by any political element to control
the next City Council. That body will
consist of 15 members, five representing
the city-at-large and each of the ten
others representing one of the wards.
Tho City Council is a highly Important
governmental body because of Its legis
lative powers for control of vice and
crime, levlng of taxes and appropriation
of money, protection of the public health,
welfare and safety, improvement of
streets, granting of franchises and regu
lation of public utilities.
These legislative powers, co-ordinate
with the Mayor's executive functions,
make plain that the City Council Is
equally as important as the Mayor In
the city government, for does not the
Council make the ordinances which the
Mayor enforces?
Have Not Selected Men.
Reformers feel the need for their pur
poses of electing Councilmcn who will
co-operate at every turn with the Mayor,
whom they hope to put In the City Hall.
As yet. howevor, they have not made
their choice from any candidates in the
several ward3. A prominent member-of
the Municipal Association, which heads
the procession of reformers, said yes
terday that his association thus far had
considered only candidates for Mayor.
He remarked that whenjthe several as
pirants for Council shaft" have come
forth Into the open, his association will
put them under Its microscope and pick
out the best,
New-Deal braves and Democratic val
iants will hold meetings tonight, the
former at 109 Second street, where they
will listen to reports from precinct work
ers. Democrats will consider reports of
two. special committees sent forth a
week ago to drum up candidates for
Mayor. They will announce that Dr.
Harry Lane is willing to lead the unter
rlfied hosts if nominated at the pri
maries. Will Place Petition at His Feet.
The committees hall from the Multno
mah Democratic Club and from the
Young Men's Democratic Club three pat
riots from each organization. They will
wait on Dr. Lane today and present at
his feet the petition of the hosts and
the doctor will accept the honor with
smiles and happiness. From the Mult
nomah Democratic Club will come John
Van Zante, T. G. Greene and Mark
O'Neil, and from the other club S. C
Armitage. L. T. Perry and N. H. Graf
ton. The one club is headed by C. B.
Williams, president and B. E. Haney, sec
retary; the other by G. W. Allen, presi
dent, and J. T. Mllner. secretary..
The committee from the Multnomah
Democratic Club is boosting Lane, while
the committee from the Young Men's
Club is instructed to boost every good
man who desires a lift toward the pri
maries; also to ask every aspirant for
the nomination whether he stands , for
law and order.
"The idea;"- exclaimed several of the
patriots at the Young Men's Club meet
ing last week, "of asking a Democrat
whether he stands for law and order!
Who doesn't?"
Dr. Lane has not announced the plat
form on which he will stand, and his
probable Attitude Is a matter of much
speculation. Friends of the doctor say
that their man will come out so plainly
as to leave, no doubt of his policies in
case he shall be elected.
Strowbridge Withdraws.
The contest for the Republican nomina
tion for Municipal Judge was signalized
yesterday by the withdrawal of Joseph
A. Strowbridge. Jr., and the approach of
J. J. Fitzgerald. Strowbridge filed a no
tice of his primary petition last week and
withdrew It yesterday from the City Au
ditor because private business affairs
came up which would not permit him.
to sacrifice the time required for the cam
paign. Fitzgerald Is now Assistant City Attor
ney and has repeatedly declared that the,
cesire to run for tne campaign was far
from him. But his boomers have been
busy this week and. headed by John F.
Logan, they seem in a fair way to bring
him Into the fight.
Latest to Announce Themselves.
B: F. Jones, a druggist of GIbbs street,
is the first candidate for the Republican
nomination for Councilman of the Sixth
Ward. He filed his declaration with the
City Auditor yesterday. He says: "I shall
advocate a liberal policy In the matter
of public Improvements. I shall labor
for the general advancement and prosper
ity of the City of Portland, and particu
larly of the Sixth Ward. I shall favor
a policy which will be for the moral ad
vancement of the people. I shall favor
a strict business administration of city
affairs. I shall oppose 'grafting in every
form. I will state further that the pol
icy of a Councilman should be decided
by the people and not by any machine."
PHONE FIGHT TODAY
Sumner Franchise Comes Up
Before Council.
SEVEN VOTES NEEDED TO WIN
RECEPTION TO HEV. RAMSEY
Parishioners Greet the Rector of St.
Stephen's Episcopal Church.
Nearly the entire congregation of
the St. Stephen's Episcopal Church
faced the stormy weather last even
ing to attend the reception given Rev.
Horace M. Ramsey, the new rector of
the church, who held his first services
last Sunday. The reception was in the
parish house. Bishop Morris, of the
Oregon diocese, whs' present.
The home was beautifully decorated
with growing palms and flowers. The
banquet table, bn which an elaborate
supper was served by the ladies, mem
bers of the congregation, was most
tastefully decorated.
Rev. Horace M. Ramsey, whose homo
is in La Grande, has been studying in
Germany for the past two years. Last
Summer he had charge of St. Paul
Episcopal Church at Rome, in which
the English language is spoken.
A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE
Ex-Convict Under Arrest.
James, Ward, alias George Warner, alias
"Honolulu Kid," was arrested by Detect
ives Hartman and Vaughn and arraigned
yesterday before) Municipal Judge Hogue
on a charge of burglary. He waived pre
liminary hearing and was held to the
grand Jury under bonds of $1000. George
Courtney, the complainant, charges that
Ward entered Bis room recently and
stole a revolver, a razor and a clock.
The detectives found the clock in Ward's
room, and the razor and revolver in
a second-hand store. Ward served IS
months on a 5 years' sentence In the
Walla Walla penitentiary for burglary
committed In Seattle, and was pardoned.
He has also served two short terms in the
local County Jail for larceny.

Advocates of Additional Telephone
System Claim a Victory Several
Councitmen Have Not De
cided How to Vote.
This afternoon will probably see the
climax in the fight for an additional
telephone system in Portland.
Every ounce of strength In the lineup
for the Sumner franchise will bear upon
two or three Councllmen who are listed
as undecided. Likewise the opponents of
the new telephone will be busy, and a
battle royal Is likely to be seen and
heard In the City Hall. The Council Is
scheduled to meet In adjourned session
today.
Each side declares that It will win. If
the franchise does get out of the box of
the street committee and into the open
Council Chamber, there will be a lively
time. It seems about an equal chance
that the document will stay in the box.
Seven Votes Needed.
Yesterday it was announced that the
Sumner forces had secured enough votes
to pass the ordinance today. Seven "aye'r
votes are necessary. Albee, Flegel. Mer
rill, Foeller and Sharkey are lined up
on the Sumner side. Zimmerman insists
that some amendments be Inserted into
the ordinance before it gets his vote.
Rumelin and Bentley are against the
measure. Dr. Whiting was said yesterday
to have promised to vote with the other
five. It seems to be up to Mr. Sherrett.
And Mr. Sherett is supposed to be on
the fence, though yesterday afternoon he
said he had asked every business man
in his block if he wanted two telephones,
and the answer had been "No."
Councilman Sharkey has returned from
Los Angeles, his pockets filled with let
ters of recommendation of the automatic
telephone. He Is the second Councilman
who went to California to see the auto
matic telephone in operation. Matt Foeller
being the pioneer Investigator.
Mayor Williams will not have a vote
in any case. There are now ten members
in the Council. Two-thirds of ten is six
and two-thirds, or" seven, for voting pur
poses If the ordinance receives seven
votes It Is passed; If only six; It Is lost
In no caso can there be a tie.
Zimmerman Wants Amendments.
What Zfmmerman mainly Insists upon
Is that the ordinance shall specifically
state than an automatic system I to be
Installed. The Empire Construction
Company's representatives have said they
would give a bond of $100,000 that the
automatic telephones would be installed
But they decline to Insert any clause in
the franchise ordinance which will force
them to install the automatic telephones.
He also wants It stated in the ordinance
that no price shall be charged for the
telephones until 3000 are In operation
This was pr6mlsed before, the ordinance
was drawn up. Zimmerman says that
with these and a few other sfight changes
in the ordinance he will vote for its pass
age.
Illinois Commission Will Be Named
CHICAGO. March 28. (Special.)
Governor Deneen expects to make ap

Miss Msbel Hammond Dead.
Many friends of Miss Mabel Hammond

Miss Hammond's- home was In Klamath
Falls, but the past three years she has
spent at the home of her grandmother.
Mrs. M. O. Moore, of this city, and has

About -Blood PurlflerV and "Tonics."
Everj- drop of blood, every bone, nerve
and tissue In the body can be renewed In
but one way, and that is, from whole
some food properly digested. There Is
no other way, and the Idea that a medi
cine in itself can purify the blood or sup
ply new tissues and strong nerves Is ri
diculous and on a par with the fol-de-rol
that dyspepsia or Indigestion Is a germ
disease, or that other fallacy, that weak
stomach which refuses to digest food can
be made to do so by Irritating and in
flaming the bowels by pills and cathar
tics. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Indi
gestion, sour stomach, gas and bloating
after meals, because they furnish the dl-
; gestlve principles which weak Btomachs
; lack, and. unless the deficiency of pepsin
1 and diastase is supplied, it is useless to
attempt to cure stomach trouble by the
use of "tonics,"' "pills." and "cathar
tics' which have absolutely no digestive
power, and their only effect Is to give a
temporary stimulation.
One grain of the active principle In
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets win digest
3.000 grains of meat, eggs and similar
foods, and experiments have shown that
they will do this In- a glass bottle at
proper temperature, but of course are
much more effective in the stomach.
There Is probably no remedy so uni
versally used as Stuart's Tablets, bo
cause It is not only the sick and
ailing, but well people who use them at
every meal to insure perfect digestion
and assimilation of food.
People who enjoy fair health take Stu
art's Tablets as regularly as they take
their meals, because they want to keep
well; prevention Is better than cure, and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they
prevent indigestion iuid they remove It
where it exists. The regular use of one
or two of them after meals will demon
strate their merit and efficiency- better
I than any other argument.
