IETTEECAESLERS MAY COME
Good ProBpect for More Equable
Rat for Big Convention.
From the viewpoint of the West there
appears to be little doubt but hatt
the trunk: lines of the East will grant
the reduction In rates asked by the
National "Lettercarriera Association for
the National convention desired to be
held in Portland.
The efforts that have been made .by
me (jnamber or Commerce and by the
railroad officials of Portland towards
securing an amendment to the rate
over which the controversy has arisen.
seem to be regarded with favor In the
East. President Wheelwright, of the
Chamber of Commerce, has received
letters from two of the transoonti
nental lino presidents, in which it
has heen stated that the stand of the
Chamber Is on good ground, and should
be recognized by the trunk lines. It is
further stated that there is no rea
son why such discrimination should be
shown as has been by. the rates made
to Los Angeles and other cities in
comparison to those made to Portland
Copies of personal letters, written to
trunk line officials, have been sent,
showing that the transcontinental
lines have taken a strong- stand in
xavor of the contention of Portland.
Through the efforts of A. L. Cralnr.
general passenger agent of the O. B.
& N., who has taken the matter up
with J. C. Stubbs, traffic director of the
Harriman lines, F. C. Donald, commis
sioner of the Central Passenger Asso
ciation, has joined the ranks of those
In harmony with the Portland stand.
and tnls - official has written to the
trunk line officials.
From all of these efforts it Is thought
that a revision of rates will result,
and that there is no doubt about tho
coming of the convention to Portland
as at first intended.
ENGINEERS INVITED TO FAIR
Institute of Mining Experts Asked to
Come Through Portland.
Tfe Chamber of Commerce Is of the
opinion that the American Institute of
Mining- Engineors would have a better
time If the members of the National
convention would come to Portland on
their return from Victoria, B. C, than
if they made the contemplated trip to
Alaska, and then home by a northern
route.
In accordance with this Idea a tele
gram has been addressed by President
Wheelwright to Dr. I. W. Raymond,
secretary of the institute at New York,
in which the invitation of the Cnamber
Is extended to the organization to visit
Portland on the return trip. It is urged
that tho mining engineers of the North
west as well 'as the business interests
would be pleated to have a visit from
the distinguished men forming the
personnel of the convention.
This organization is one of the most
Important in the United States, and
holds its annual meeting at Victoria,
B. C this Summer. It is the desire of
the Chamber to have the delegates visit
Portland during the Exposition.

w larity in Europe is as great and as
universal as it is in the Uni
ted States," said F. W. VanDykc. a phy
sician from Grant's Pass, who has just
returned from a six months sojourn in
Europe. Dr. Van Dyke Is in Portland
on his way home and is at the Imperial
Hotel, "it seemed as though nearly ev
ery one I met on that side of the water
asked me about the President.
"The Europeans know comparatively
little about America. The continental
newspapers print very little American
news. At the time Roosevelt was elected
all the newspapers had was the bare men
tion of the fact that he had won. They
gave no particulars whatever. I did not
learn of 4 the big majority he was given
until I returned to America about three
weeks ago.
"There has always been a great cry In
this country that the Government should
own the railroads. If some of these dis
satisfied Americans would so over to
Europe and travel on the railroads that
are owned by the different governments
they would come back converted. They
would never again cry for Government
ownership."
Dr. Van Dyke has been practicing in
Grant's Pass for more than 20 years.
He has always had an ambition to go to
Europe and study surgery, but until the
last year was unable to make the trip.
While there he studied under the most
eminent surgeons in Heidelberg. Breslau,
Vienna and Berlin.
"We had our fill of expositions last
Summer, but nevertheless I believe there
will be lots of St. Louis people that
will come to the Portland Fair," said
Thomas Buford, Western representative
of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Company,
who was at the Hotel Portland yester
day. Mr. Buford lives In St- Louis. "Of
course. I haven't made any canvass of the
town to see Just how many are coming,
but I am satisfied that St. Louis will send
her share of people.
"Why, about 1 of the directors of our
company are coming to Portland from
St. Louis with their wives and families.
Perhaps they will bring r their friends.
They have arranged to charter a special
car for the trip. They Intend not only
to visit Portland and the Exposition, but
will take in the entire Northwest. I have
heard of other parties from that city
planning to como to the Fair in a sim
ilar manner."
Robert W. McBrlde. Executive Commis
sioner for Idaho at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, who Is in Portland, bears the
distinction of being nominated and elect
ed to the office of Senator of the Idaho
Legislature while absent from the state.
Mr. McBrlde. who lives at Salmon City.
had been appointed Mineral Commissioner
to the SL Louis Fair, and was at that
city tho time of his nomination for State
Senator. He wired back that he could
not return to Idaho to take up his cam
paign, but they persisted in his accent
ing the nomination, and elected him to
the office by a large majority.
Mr. McBrlde Is accompanied to Port
land by J. C. Fcnnell, the architect of
the Idaho building at the Exposition. The
first work for tho construction of the
building will commence this morning,
when earth will bo excavated for the
foundation of the structure. The con
tracts for the building proper have not
been let yet The contracts will be let
to the lowest responsible bidders. Idaho
contractors will not be shown any pref
erence. Mr. McBrlde will remain until
after the Fair. Mr. Fennell returns to
Boise next week.
"All of Idaho Is comlnir to the Fair.'
said Mr. McBrlde at the Imperial Hotel
yesterday afternoon. "I cannot recollect
a single person with whom I am ac
quainted that is riot coming to the Ex
position. It is really wonderful the way
tne people of that state are taking an
Interest in the success of the Fair. They
look upon It as part of their Fair, which
it really is. It shown the right spirit.
"You see. there are hundreds and hun
dreds of Easterners In that state who.
upon coming West, located in Idaho be
fore they reached the Coast. Naturally
then, they are very anxious to see this
part of the country. They have been
noiaing back coming to Oregon for sev
era! years because of the Exposition, and
as a result, they will come to Portland
In a rush. They have been saving their
money for this trip for months.
I want to say a good word for the
Lewis and Clark officials," remarked Mr.
McBrlde. - "They have shown Mr. Fcn
nell and myself the greatest consideration
and attention. They have done every
thing In their power to aid us-in the busi
ness we have to attend to concerning the
erection of the building. We are a lit
tle late in starting on the building, but
we are satisfied that we will have every-
uung in readiness by the opening of the
gates, which will be partly due to the
aid given us by the Fair officials."
"The big rush this year in Alaska will
be to Fairbanks," said J. E. Stlegler, a
mining man from Nome, at the Hotel
Perkins, last evening. "Of course all the
camps will be pretty well filled up, but as
Fairbanks Is the newest camp and also
one of the most promising, she will get
the greatesunuinber of people.
T have been traveling over the country
a good deal this Winter, taking advan
tage of my vacation, as I usually remain
in Aoms tne year round. Nearly every
place I have been I have met people who
have their hearts set on going to Fair
banks. There is no doubt in my mind but
what that camp has a great future."
P. A. O'Farrell. the well-known news
paper writer, has been at the Portland
for the last few days. He has extensive
mining interests in several parts of the
Northwest. His home is In New York.
Mr. and Mrs. O'Farrell left last evening
for Spokane.
T came to Portland to look over the
Exposition grounds and to judge for my
self as to the prospects of a successful
Fair and the probable benefits that will
accrue to the Northwest as the result of
its being held," said Mr. O'Farrell yea
terday afternoon.
"I say without hesitation that your
grounds, your buildings and your superb
location surpass anything I had antici
pated. You will have a phenomenal In
flux of people, for tourists and homeseek
ers are preparing to come to Portland
this Summer from all parts of the coun
try. The loveliness of your climate and
the beauty of your city will undoubtedly
prolong the stay of many, of them. More
over, multitudes of those who come will
stay or return to remain, for they will
learn to love the climate and the people,
and to realize the unsurpassed wealth
and resources of the great Northwest."
Among the guests at the Imperial this
week was Ed Kiddle, of Island City. Mr
Kiddle is an extensive breeder of hogs.
in which business ho has been engaged
for years. Mr. Kiddle is at the present
time fattening a hog which he expects to
carry off the prize at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. The hog already weighs 1037
pounds and Is steadily Increasing in
weight. Mr. Kiddle says the hog will
weigh at least 13X) pounds before the
opening of the Fair. The biggest hog at
the St. Louis Fair tipped the scales at a
little over 1100 pounds.
It is told that several years ago Mr.
Kiddle shipped a carload of hogs to the
Chicago markets. The animals were well
fed and taken care of on the way, and
when, they arrived at their destination
wero in such good condition as to attract
the attention of the Eastern farmers.
They were surprised that such hogs could
be raised in Oregon. The hogs were con
fined in a pen, and an attendant threw
them a lot of corn for feed.
The Oregon hogs did not know what to
