SPEAKS OP THE BILLBOARDS
Attorney!-. E. Crouch Says They-Are
Very Disgusting.
"If the people are not careful Portland
will be known as the Billboard City in
stead of the Rose City after the close
of the Iewis and Clark Exposition," said
I. E. Couch, attorney lor the Chamber
of Commerce Clvio Improvement Board
yesterday arcernoon. -jouiDoaras are
springing up all over town and the post
ers are even Invading' the residence dls
tricts. The owners of the billboards re
alize that this form of advertising will
bo particularly effective during the Ex
position months, when the city will be
thronged with visitors and are erecting
them wherever they can find the space.
"To a certain extent billboards are
necessary evil, but they should not be
allowed to be orected in the residence
and outlying districts. They disfigure the
landscape and the natural beauty of th
scenery. If you drive out in the coun
try you will still find the billboards al
most as numerous as in the city. If there
is some particularly beautiful spot which
attracts visitors, it will be literally lined
with these advertisements. The worst
ol it is jthat ..the -JriUbpards are rapidly
on the Increase and by the time the
Exposition opens the town will be cov
ered with them.
"Go up on Portland Heights early in
the morning. The first thing you will see
when the dawn basins to break and
ou are able to distinguish the outlines
of the city will be some enormous ad-
ertlsement of a popular cigar or patent
medicine. The lighter it gets the more
glaring signs, sometimes painted clear
across the backs and sides of buildings,
will come Into view. Tou can almost see
the advertisements before you can see the
smoke arising from the buildings.
One of the most objectionable features
about billboards Is that the posters be
come torn and ragged after they have
been standing a few days. Hugh pieces
of the paper blow off and fall on the
streets, aiding In the accumulation of
filth and rubbish. A billboard with a
glaring advertisement In three or four
different colors Is bad enough, but it is
not to be compared with a dirty and
ragged poster."
THE ROADS FAYOJEt LEGISLATIOH
Believe That Interstate Commerce
Commission Should Be Stronger.
"The railroads are in favor of any
legislation that will strengthen . the
hands of the Interstate Commerce
Commission,'.' said J. H. Maddy, special
representative of the Erie Railway
Company, while sitting in the lobby of
the Jlotel Portland last evening. "They
believe the Elklns law is as stringent
a statute against the payment of re-
hates as can be enaoted. I have been
assured by railroad presidents and traf
fic managers that rebates are no longer
paid.
"There Is one point in the pres
ent agitation that the railroads are
a unit against and that is to allow a
rate to be made and put into effect' be
fore it is passed upon by a United States
Court. If a rate must Jie named the
railroads claim the constitutional right
of appeal, especially since the commis
sion has only been sustained in two of
the 36 cases, which it has- taken into
court. . ,
"As a matter of fact there is ample
law to correct all the actual so-called
abuses that a railroad can be held re
sponsible lor, if it is intelligently and
vigorously enforced. It would be quite
a departure to Jet seven men in Wash
ington control the commercial supre
macy of communities, by making the
rates.
Tou have a vivid Illustration here
today. The railroads are trying to act
as equitably as possible between Port
land and Spokane. It is essentially a
local fight. One place asserts that the
railroads must give it rates to take the
business of the other. Both are sincere.
Each believes it is right. Are not the
traffic men, here on the ground famil
iar with the commercial demands and
the local conditions, better qualified to
settle the question than a tribunal
thousands of miles away, having noth
ing at stake?
"I think you will find that when the
average business man finds out that a
Government commission cannot dis
criminate as between localities and that
many of the railway rates he now en
joys may be changed to benefit some
one else, he will not favor rate legis
lation. T
"There ,is no doubt but what dis
crimination between individuals is
ended and that the rates are not ex
cessive. Private-car lines are not sub
ject to any law and the railroads favor
bringing them within the power of the
commission. The public seems to think
that a. reduction in rates would help
the consumer. The difference would be
absorbed before the consumer was
reached.
"The whole subject is fraught with
pitfalls and the more one studies rate
situations the more he feels that no
one small body can make just railroad
rates. They depend too much on nat
ural conditions, local situations and the
great unalterable law of supply and
demand."
Mr. Maddy Is accompanied on his
trip to the Northwest by A. P. Moore
and wife, managing editor of the Pitts
burg Press, Ed Rascouvar, of the New
Tork News Bureau, and Miss McCarty
and Miss McMaaon, of Cleveland. Tney
are all staying at the Hotel Portland.
MONTHLY MEETING IS HELD
Council of Jewish Women Gives In
teresting Programme.
Portland Section, Council of Jewish
Women, at its regular monthly meeting
yesterday afternoon held exceedingly In
teresting exercises. Mrs. S. M. Blumauer
presided.
At the business session Mrs. Alex Bern
stein reported that articles of Incorpora
tion of the council had been prepared and
filed. -Mrs. M. Baruh was appointejd a del
egate to meetings of the Travelers' Aid
Association.
Miss Louise Forsyth, of New York, gave
selections from Browning. "Rabbi Ben
Ezra" and "Up at a Villa, Down in a
City," were the readings.
Miss Fox played a brilliant piano solo,
and Miss Weeks sang in a charming man
ner. Current events in Jewish life were set
forth by Miss M. Boskowitz in a pleasing
manner.
Miss Boskowitz spoke of the indefatiga
ble efforts of Jacob Schlff, the great Jew
ish financier, who is doing much for chic
lmnrovements in New York City. "Mr.
Scniff," said the speaker, "Is giving
monejv thought and sympathy in aiding
his Gentile colaborers in the accomplish
ment of their alms. The Influence of the
Jew upon history in the making is at
tested by the fact that the Emperor of
Japan recently conferred upon Mr. Schlff
the order of the 'Sanctified Treasurer' of
the second class. The order was present
ed by tho , Mikado for service performed
in connection with tho "flotation of the
two Japanese war loans . which were
brought out jointly in this country and In
England.
WOODMEN CHOOSE DELEGATES
"Milwaukee For a Million" to' Be the
Slogan of the Order.
. t..
Delegates from the six camps of the
Woodmen of America of Multnomah
County met yesterday at the lodge rooms
at 106& Third street and elected dele
gates to attend the state biennial head
camp which will convene at Baker City
the third of next month. Those chosen
were as follows:
Delegates R. W. Foster, Oregon Fir
Camp; W. T. Vaughn, Evergreen Camp;
J. J. Goddard, Grape Camp; A. J. Col
lins, Spruce Camp. .'Alternates F. E.
Adams, Oregon Fir Camp; W. T. Steepy,
Evergreen Camp; O. J. Groce, Grape
Camp; W. J. Holman, Oregon Fir Camp.
Tho principal business to be transacted
at the state camp is the election of a
delegate to attend the Grand Camp to
be held at Milwaukee In June this year.
As yet there is no pronounced candidates
for this position, although it is under
stood that there are several receptive
members of the order who would not be
adverse to serving if the honor should
come to him.
The slogan that has been adopted this
year by the Woodmen of America Is,
"Milwaukee lor a Million." The order
now has a membership In the United
States of nearly 900,000, and it is tho
hope and fond desire of every member
of the order that when the time for
the Milwaukee meeting arrives they will
have at least 1,000,000 enrolled as mem
bers of the order.
Tou can't help liking them, they arc so
very small and their action so perfect.

KEMPFF 18 COMING
Member of Naval Investigating
Board to Arrive Soon.
TO INSPECT THE INSPECTORS
Admiral Was Appointed by the Presi
dent to Inquire Into Steam
boat Conditions in
This District. '
Rear Admiral Louis Kempff, a mem
ber of the Naval Board appointed by
President Roosevelt to investigate the
steamboat inspection service, is ex
pected to arrive In the city In a few
days from California. Steamship men
who. have lately reached the city from
Sari"FrancIsco say that the Admiral has
completed his work in the Southern
state, and is now ready to turn his at
tention to inspection matters here.
- The appointment of the Naval Board
of Inquiry followed the terrible Slocum
disaster at New York. The deplorable
condition into which the service had
fallen at the port of New York led the
President to believe It would be wise
to Investigate the service in all parts
of the United Slates. Admiral Kemplt
was assigned to this district and began
his work at San Francisco last Fall.
He has proceeded leisurely but thor
oughly, studying the methods of the
Pacific Coast Inspectors and checking
up their work by personal examina
tions of Inspected vessels.
It Is not believed by Portland steam
boat men that he will be able to find
much fault with the work done by the
local Inspectors, Captain Edwards and
Mr. Fuller. The Inspection In this dis
trict has always been held to be very
strict, a fact which is attested by the
absence of serious acidents in these
waters. As shown by the records, the
Portland district compares most favor
ably with San Francisco Bay and Puget
Sound In this respect. Navigators here
also labor under harder conditions than
elsewhere, owing to the narrowness of
the channel, the bridge obstructions
and the shallow water In tne upper
roaches of the two rivers and their
tributaries. But In spite of these draw
backs, mishaps have been few and for
many years have not been attended by
loss of life. The extra requirements
in the way of skill and experience de
manded by the inspectors of steamboat
masters and engineers, and the rigid
compliance with the regulations ex
acted from boat owners have brought
about this result.
Since the rolnspection was started
by tho Naval Board, tho supervising
and local Inspectors in the various dis
tricts have been even stricter than be
fore. This has caused some complaint
from steamboat owners, and - In Port
land, as in other places, the charge has
been made that the Inspectors have
been too active In requiring owners to
live up to the law. This Is an allega
tion, however, in which the steamboat
men will not be Joined by the traveling
public, and it Is safe to say that If
any changes are made in the regula
tions, It will bo In the nature nf add
ing more safeguards to life and prop
erty, rather than In relaxing the strin
gency of the steamboat Inspection laws.
No Infractions of the rules governing
these matters have been discovered
here by the Inspectors, and It is not
likely that Admiral KempIT will llnd
any, either- A few boats- that did not
come up to the specifications were laid
off until tho necessary changes wero
made, and the passenger license of one,
the G. M. Walker, was revoked, but
she was permitted to remain In the
freight business.

CHANCE TO LEARN
Exposition Offers Broad Field
to Students.
GRADUATES TO BE INVITED
Fair Management Will Solicit the
Schools of Pacific Coast to Send
Outgoing Classes Teachers
and Pupils Show Interest.
It was decided yesterday by the Ex
position management to make special In
ducements for bringing classes of students
here from cities all over the Coast on
the occasion, of the closing of school for
the Summer. Railroad companies are to
be urged to make special rates and an
Exposition representative will be put In
the field at once to work up Interest in
the excursions.
Many communications have been re
ceived from school superintendents of dif
ferent Coast cities, stating that great
Interest In the Fair haa been shown by
students. It Is believed that at least 10,-
000 boys and girls can be brought here
from outside points Immediately after the
opening of the Exposition, as the date
coincides with that for the closing of
most schools. Special effort will be made
to bring the graduating classes of high
schools.
Students and teachers will be afforded
an excellent opportunity, not only to
study the educational work of other
States and foreign countries, but to see
the products of the civilized world and
observe the customs, habits, and charac
teristics of many races.
The history of past expositions of an
International character proves conclusive
ly that great development along educa
tional lines have usually resulted and
the presence of students and teachers.
who come in contact with many educa
tional systems and make comparisons.
stimulates this development. To the Cen
tennial Exposition in 1S7S is attributed the
Introduction of manual training In the
public schools, which has helped to make
possible the remarkable advance of the
country In Industrial pursuits. Following
the Paris Exposition, In 1878. came the
reorganization of primary education In
France, while from the Crystal 'Palace
Exhibition In London, in 1S31, came the
establishment of the school for industrial
arts at the South Kensington Museum
What advances, or new and valuable
lines of training, will result from tho
Lewis and Clark Exposition remains to
be seen, but that the beneficial effects
of a large attendance of teachers and stu
dents at the Fair will be far-reaching
there can be no doubt. It Is argued.
TO SHOW WORKING EXHIBIT
Singer Machine Company Will Also
Give Away Souvenirs.
One of the finest working exhibits to bo
seen at the Exposition will be the display
of the Singer Sewing Machine Company,
which will have on exhibition ITS different
machines. Each machine -will be In charge

In addition to giving this fine working
exhibit, the Singer Company will give to
every visitor a complete set of pictures de

Kntnl Adventure of an Unsus
pecting "I'lke-Hend" Whale
That Ventured Too Xenr the
Atlantic Coast.
HERE Is a whale story that gives
something of an Insight Into Exposi
tion enterprise, so far as the Govern
ment's end of it Is concerned.
Ten days ago there was a whale swim
ming about in the Atlantic. He was a
fine levlathlan, of a rare species, and
he did not condescend to associate with
the ordinary run of whales. He was a
"Pike-head" whale, which are scarce even
Arctic. waters and almost unknown with
in American borders.
Getting In the vicinity of Provincetown.
Mass., he liked the neighborhood and
lolled about In sight of the coast for
several days, now and then shooting a
few tons of water Into the air with play
ful abandon.
Unfortunately for the whole he did
not come very close to shore or he
might have heard of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition and he might have got wind
of the fact that the Fisheries Department
of the Government exhibits Is particularly
anxious to get hold of a "pike-head" of
just about his dimensions. His antics fin
ally attracted Captain Backus, of the
Life Saving Station on the beach. The
captain manned a crew, but did not get
the whale. However, the next day It
was found stranded on the beach, having
drifted in during the night In search of
a toothsome luxury known as sand eels.
At the present moment the hapless
monster is being jolted along over the
rails for Portland, where he will be ex
hibited. The transition is told by a Bos
ton paper as follows:
Captain Backus sold the whale to a fish
erman for S4, not knowlnsr that It was a
rarity. The nsherman notified the officials
of the Smithsonian Institution, stlvinrf a
brief description of the whale, and received
further Inquiries as to its appearance. When
the Smithsonian experts received the fisher
man's reply, they requested him to state his
price for the 'whale. He asked $00. which
was offered at once and was accepted. The
whale Is now being prepared for shipment to
Washington, whence It will be transported
to Portland, along with several other splen
did specimens of whalos, for exhibition at
the Lewis and Clark Centennial.
The Government scientists at once recog
nized, from the description furnished, that
this was a pike-head whale, from Norwegian
waters,' which very rarely comes Into New
England brine. Only three such whales
have been seen before off the New England
coast. The whale Is about 45 feet long.
Old fishermen gathered around and tried
to Identify the whale as to species. Some
said that he looked like a small fin-back,
and others declared he might be a "sulphur
bottom." but no one was sure of his iden
tity. Had the fisherman who bought him
for $4 known that such a rare specimen had
come into his possession he mignt nave re
ceived many times $00 from the govern
ment for his prize. He has boiled severRi
barrels of oil out of the whale, however,
which he will sell.

Is enthusiastic over the acquisition of the

Enterprising Work of
Northern Pacific in Adver
tising Fair
1TH the approach of the Expos!
tion's opening, the Northern Pacific
Company has decided to extend its ad
vertising of the Fair to wider borders
than heretofore attempted, and on a larg
er scale. A communication received yes
terday afternoon by Secretary H. E. Reed
from General Passenger Agent A. M. Cle
land, of the Northern Pacific, stated that
arrangements have just been made to
place display advertisements in 33 of the
leading dailies of tho united btatcs. in
addition to this, neatly printed souvenir
cards will be placed in the dining-cars as
souvenirs for passengers. These cards
benr a picture of the Oriental building
and a terse statement of the attractions
Portland will offer during 1905. The bone-
fits that will accrue from this enterprising
move on the part of the Northern Pacific
Company will bo widespread, and the at
tendance without doubt will be greatly
supplemented thereby, so Exposition off!
cials declare.
