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. CORKER SEELS FOE 12,500 Three-S.tory Building to Be Erected at Eighteenth and Washington.

Sensasa Jilat, HeardinthcRotundas (tr RESIDENT BOOSEVELTS popn 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.
