XHE MORNING OKEGOJSIAN, . WEDNESDAY, APXHi 19, 1905. WOQL-SGQURING LANT IS COMING New Mexico "Capitalist Will In vest $100,000 in New Industry. EMPLOYMENT FOR 100 MEN Thomas Hoss Is Now Negotiating for a location Large MM Will Make Portland a Great Wool Market. After spending six weeks investigating the business prospects of the several large cities on the Pacific Coast, Thomas Ross, of Las Vegas, N. M., has decided upon Portland as a location lor a wool scouring plant which he will erect in tho next two or three months. The scouring mill to be erected by Mr. Boss will be the largest and most complete plant of its kind in the West and will result in the expenditure of nearly $100,000. As soon as the mill is in operation over 100 men will be given steady employment and the force will be gradually Increased. Mr. Ross as yet has not definitely de cided upon a location for the plant as he has several tracts of grounds in view, but he wans to build as close as possible to tho business district of the city. The buildings which will be required for the plant will occupy three acres of ground. The machinery to be installed will be of the very latest and most improved design and will be made especially for this plant. Capacity 50,000 Pounds Daily. The mill will have the capacity of turning out 50,000 pounds of scoured wool a day. There are several wool-scouring mills in Oregon, but no one of them has the capacity of more than 9000 pounds a day, according to the statistics gathered by Mr. Ross, who has been studying the wool situation in the Northwest. Mr. Ross Is the owner of a large wool scouring mill in Las Vegas, N. M., which he has had charge of for years. He first started In the wool business in Boston, going from there to New Mexico, where he has met with almost unprecedented success in all his undertakings. "With the idea of enlarging his business Mr. Hops has been visiting San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle, but he was not satisfied with the outlook until he came to Portland. He was in Portland only a few days before he decided to locate here permanently. Mr. Ross is a practical wool man In every sense of the word, having been actively engaged in the busi ness for 36 years. Will Create Great Wool Market. "The erection and opening of my scour ing mill here will undoubtedly create In Portland a good wool .market, which is not the case at the present time," said Mr. Ross at the Imperial Hotel. "The small scouring mills such as you have at Pendleton and The Dalles are unable to meet the demands and as a result about 20,000,000 pounds of untreated wool goes to the Eastern mills annually Instead of being scoured in this state. "Why couldn't all this wool be scoured In Oregon In stead of being shipped East, where it furnishes employment for hundreds of people? The wool men would rather ship it to Portland if they could And a ready market than to send it to the Eastern states. "When we have our plant in operation we will scour not less than 5.000.000 pounds of wool annually. Half of this wool can be sold to supply the local demands in Portland and the country contiguous to this city, and the rest would have to be marketed in the Eastern States. The Eastern States furnish the market for Oregon wool, but there is no reason why it should not be scoured and graded in this state and shipped East ready to be manufactured. When you ship wool in Its crude shape East you are simply taking money from the state which right fully belongs here. Portland an Ideal Location. "We expect to greatly increase our plant in the next two or three years as we are satisfied that Portland is an ideal location for a wool-scouring mill. We may employ as high as 200 men in the next two years as we are confident in the success and growth in our business from the very beginning. There will un doubtedly be more scouring plants spring up in Portland before long because tho field offered here for such establishments is really wonderful. I realized this when I had been in Oregon only two or three days. " "In a scouring mill, the wool, which has been sorted into the different grades ac cording to quality, first passes through' four baths of different temperature after which the water is extracted from it. Then the wool is blown, after which it passesnto a dryer, coming out in 20 min utes as pure and white as snow, all ready for the baling press. Several of the pieces of machinery we will Install in Portland will measure over 100 feet in length. We will be ready for business in two or three months because we will start work on the erection of the build ings and the Installing of the machinery just as soon as we can close the deal for some property we have in sight." Heard mtheRotundas "P" OXOPAH will be the biggest mjn- 1 lng camp the world has ever known." Soffsays W. C. Francis, manager of the Portland Retail Lumber Company, who hasust spent a month of vacation In the newly-developed gold fields. He has brought back with him health. In spite of the -epidemic which has stricken that country, and tells in an oft-hand way facts about the mining camps there which would give anyone the gold fever. "The one main ledge at tho town of Tonopah has been shown to contain $100,000,000 worth of gold in sight already and there is no end of it. At Goldfleld, 28 miles awav. chunks of auartz contain ing free-milling gold have been dug out of the earth. In which the gold predoml nated so much over the quartz that it was difficult to find the quartz. There, however, the ledges are not certain to nroducA immense Quantities of cold. One lump I saw as big as two fists was al most pure gold. "Cripple Creek, Johannesburg, none of the great mining camps of the world will compare in size with the three camps. Tonopah, Goldfleld and Bullfrog, lying in the desert of Nevada. As soon as the broad-guaged tracks are laid into the country the work of development will go on much quicker and inside a few years many millionaires will come out of that country. "Mining there ts dry and healthy. There is no water to contend with, and electric Hunts run down through all the shafts. The country is healthy to live in. though cold In Winter and dazzllngly hot. in Summer. All the towns are still groves of tents, but prices of living are not high. frt Goldfleld I Jartj6-.oX jneji Jiadj women in evening clothes having dinner at a tent restaurant. "The' camps are Tapldly being modern ized, with lines of automobiles running between them. The regular schedule for the 28 miles from Tonopah to Goldfleld is an 'hour and a half, and the fare $5. "I was there in the whole of the epi demic excitement and only took moderate care of my health to avoid sickness. A combination of exposure, bad whisky and possible ptomaine poisoning in canned food Is my explanation of the cause of the illness. It seemed to be a sort of liver affection. First, the victim would have a pain in the back of the neck, then in the liver and in a few hours he would be dead. No agreement had been reached by the doctors when I left, there as to the exact nature of. the disease, beyond that it was an afTeclion of the liver." "The lumber situation in Oregon has been greatly relieved," said W. R. Hume, of the Tongue Point Lumber Company, of Astoria, at the Hotel Portland last night. "This fact has been shown by the weak ening of the prices, which, until lately, have been firm. For a time, it must be admitted, that the prospects were not of the best, as thousands of logs were stranded in the small streams of Oregon. "But while it has not rained so much as it ordinarily does at this season of the year several sections of the state have been visited by small freshets which have carried the logs out to larger streams. I know of streams in which logs have been held because of low water for over two years, but nearly all the logs came out in the 'last month. These freshets came Just at the right time when the lumbermen had about BUILDINGS given up hope of removing their logs this Spring. Usually the logs are floated out of the streams long before this, as the streams, as a general rule, are low at this time of the year. I cannot state that all sections of the state, in which the streams have been at low water all Winter, have been visited by these freshets. But enoueh logs have been taken out to supply the demand and that is all we were worried about. F. R: Mollis, superintendent of the Ore gon mineral exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, is down from Baker City, making the preparatory arrange ments for the mining display. His trip also concerns the Baker County exhibit at the Fair. Mr. Mcllis says the Oregon exhibit at the Exposition will not suffer in comparison with the similar displays of the neighboring states. He says there will be several individual displays which will result in the expenditure of large sums of money. "We will have about $5000 worth of crystallized wire' gold, such as was re cently discovered at the Gllkey-Kershaw mine. 45 miles from aaner city on me Sumpter Valley Railroad, on exhibition at the Exposition," said Mr. Mellis at tho Hotel Portland, last night. "This par ticular strike, which was made about two weeks ago. has created considerable ex citement in that section. The ledge, which contained this wire gold, was dis covered only about 30 feet below the surface of tho earth. The ledge is of such formation that the gold could ne easily extracted with a case knire. "Since the strike was made two men have taken more than $10,000 worth of gold from the claim, so you can have an idea how rich it is. Of course the ex tent of the ledge has not been determined. It might be that tho veins will give out after they have been worKea turuier back, but that remains to be seen. Why, if a strike like this was maae in Colo rado or Alaska there would be a regular stampede. But as Oregon's mining re sources are just beginning to be de veloped, people do not think so much of it." PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Charles B. Miller, of Echo, is truest at the Imperial.

Fifty-six budding medicos, two at each desk, started on their examination papers yesterday morning in the armory of the Hill Military Academy, szi Marshall street, to write down answers to knotty questions by which they hope to obtain certificates from the State Board of Medical Examiners to practice as phy sicians. The names of the applicants could not be learned, 'because some of them might not pass the examination and in that case they would not wish thoSr names to be known. Most of those present are graduates of the State Uni versity, at Eugene, and Willamette Uni versity, at Salem, and It is hoped that the result of the three days' examination will be made known in about ten days' time. The examiners are: Dr. Carll. of Oregon City, president of the Board; Dr. Byron C. Miller and Dr. Andrew C Pan ton, of this city; xxt. a. b. liims, of. - Saleia, :SEr&rt CLClty, CHINATOWN .BE IDE GLEAN Japanese Quarter Will Also Be Put in a Sanitary Condition. CRUSADE ON FILTH BEGINS Civic Improvement Association Is Actively Engaged in Bringing Offenders Before Munici pal Court for Trial. Policemen attached to the Chinatown squad have been instructed by Chief Hunt and the captains under whom AT 268 EVERETT STREET, OCCUPIED BY they are serving, to compel merchants and housekeepers in the district to cleanse their stores and habitations. Sergeants of the night reliefs are to pay particular attention to these mat ters also, as well as to keep a more strict watcn over opium dens. Through out the quarters, there was a general cleaning up yestedray. The Japanese quarters on the south side of Flanders street, between Third and Fourth are also to be cleaned up. The patrolmen on that beat will watch the district and enforce compliance with the order to purify the houses and yards tnere. In due course of time, it Is stated by officials, Chinese and Japanese resi dents will have a more perfect exam ple of how to live set before them, as the streets are to be cleaned and sani tary conditions Installed along Second street, where now stagnant pools of water are to be seen all along the thor oughfare. Second street is to be Im proved by the laying of double-track railroad, repavlng and curbing. With this for an Incentive, and with the po- lico insisting upon cleanliness, it is be lieved that far better order and health will obtain. The civic improvement crusade con tinues, pressed by the police and spe cial agents of the association, and backed up by Municipal Judge-Hogue and Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald. A. Wilklns was caught by Sergeant of Police Hogeboom dumping ashes and cans Into Sullivan's Gulch, and was ar rested. When he appeared before Judge Hogue yesterday morning, the prisoner explained that he had cleaned up the ashes and cans, and had hauled them to a place outside the city limits. Because he had 'done so, it was agreed he should not be punished, during good behavior. and his caso was continued Indefinitely. Hockenyos & Buff enton, . operating a- lumber yard in the block bounded by Ninth and Tenth and Flanders and Glisan streets, are to be called into the Municipal Court today, charged with using the sidewalks and streets for private purposes. Complaint was made against them by Attorney L. E. Crouch, special prosecutor for the Civic Im provement Board. C. J. KilgTecn, who was arrested by Patrolman Venable for vidlatlng the street obstruction ordinance, agreed to clean up a pile of material in front of the old Bijou Theater, on Sixth street, and was released, during good beha vior. Ho contended that his employos were cleaning out the inside of the building, and that some of the old lath and plaster had been removed at times. At the conclusion of these cases. Judge Hogue instructed Clerk Fred Olson to notify Attorney Crouch of the crowded condition of tho street and sidewalk at Twenty-fourth and Marshall streets, where there is a lum ber yard. It Is probable an arrest will be made and prosecution Instituted in this case. CITY'S OFFENDERS COME BEFORE JUDGE HOGUE M ANT have had visions of a little cottage, enough ground for a few chickens and some garden. This Is all right as a theory but it does not always work out in practice. At least, such is the experience of John Sinner. It cost him troublo' with his neighbors, arrest, much chagrin and a $10 fine, in the Municipal Court. Sinner's cottage is at 432 Failing street. and there he kept some chickens. He also has a small garden and was about to settle down and enjoy life when along comes a dog and goes after a hen. Sinner thought ho had a right to pro tect his fowls, so he procured a weapon and took several shots at the dog. When he was arrested and taken before Judge Hogue the defendant thought he would be justified in his acts, but he found he was not. limits," said Judge Hogue, "and your fine will be 510." You can take your choice of the morals mt this stpry don't keep chickens, or let your neighbor's dog kill all of them, rather than shoot inside the limits, if you do keep them. Another man who was punished for dis charging a firearm within the city limits is P. Lenhardt. He keeps a saloon out on Williams avenue, and when a man filled with liquor came at him and made threats he grabbed a revolver and fired a shot right through the floor of the booze es tablishment. Patrolman Oelsner, of the first relief of police, rushed In and wanted to make an arrest, thinking to oblige Lenhardt. The latter, however, said he wished no arrest made and the officer acquiesced. Richard Major was the Individual who created the original trouble. He had fled and Policeman Oelsner and Proprietor Lenhardt were alone in the saloon. They entered Into compact to keep the thing quiet, but as several hear?, the shot tne case finally reached the newspapers and Lenhardt was arrested. He was fined $15 yesterday for firing the one shot. An unusual scene took place yesterday morning when Frank Willox. a youth em ployed as a messenger boy on a local force, was before Judge Hogue on a. charge of fighting. The boy's mother was present and stood up with her son near to the Judge's bench. "Mrs. Willox, what kind of a boy is your son T" asked the court. Like any mother she replied: "A good boy." "Why, he lied to us here yesterday." JAPANESE. said Judge Hogue, "In several details, and. we decided to have you come here and see if we could get to the bottom of this matter." The trouble that brought the boy Into court was with another messenger boy over a bicycle, and the officials of the court, after hearing both stories, agreed that the Willox boy was in the wrong. The other lad was discharged Monday. After explaining to Mrs. Willox that the boy could not be permitted to work on the messenger force. Judge Hogue com mitted him to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. IN INTEREST OF THE ELKS Eilers Piano House Does Some Very Effective Work in Exploiting tlyj. Elks' Country Fair.

COWS NOT TO-BE AT LARGE Mount Tabor Push Club Decides to Enforce tho Iaw. ine constable of the Mount Tabor Justice of the Peace Court yesterday be gan notifying people owning cows that It would be safer for them to keep them from roaming at large hereafter. This Is In accordance with the resolution of the Push Club, which held a special meeting In tho office of Justice T. G Shreve Monday evening. It was decided to prosecute vigorously all owners of cows who permit them to run at large. The fine for the first offense will be $10, and for the second offense 520. Justice Shreve sat in his office yestcr day afternoon waiting for complaints to be filed, but none were received, although half a dozen loose cows were to be seen in the vacant ground within 100 yards of his office. He says he hopes that all in the district will take warning In time and keep the cows from running at large. Cows from Montavllla and beyond frequently wander Into the Mount Tabor territory, making their owners liable to fines. Com plaints will likely bo filed at any time, followed by arrest, as the members of the Push Club are determined to enforce the law. Chinook Will Xot Be Used.

MALARKEY PREDICTED THIS Had a Soldier Arrested on Accusa tion of Attempted Criminal As sault, Which Was Black mailing Scheme. Leaving a letter setting forth alleged reasons for flight. Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Bartonett, who charged William Muir with attempted criminal assault, left Portland Monday night. Just as At torney Dan J. Malarkey had predicted in the Municipal Court when he asked that they be held under heavy bonds. "These people are attempting to blackmail my client, and if permitted to go on their own recognizance, will not be here when the case is called." was what Attorney Malarkey told Judge Hogue Monday, when the case first came up, and was to be continued until esterday. At that time Dell Stuart, who had been retained by the Bartonetts as spe cial prosecuting attorney, stated his be lief that they would be here to press the charge against Muir. Deputy District Attorney Haney also stated this opin ion and declined to ask for bail. "We have been given money by friends of Muir to leave the city," said the let tor left by the Bartonetts. "We have never been in trouble of this kind be tore, and we cannot stand It to go through the ordeal in court. We thank Judge Hogue for his decent treatment of us, and also Deputy District Attor ney Haney. Tell Judge Hogue to send us his bill, which we will gladly pay. as he treated us well. We have gone to Seattle." Just as I told Tour Honor," said At torney Malarkey, upon reading the let ter from the fleeing complainants They are two of the worst scoundrels that ever went unpunished. They ought to be made to stand trial on charges far more serious than that which they preferred against Muir. For one thing. : think there was a good case of per- ury against them." There was some talk as to the ad vlsublllty of continuing the -case Indefi nitely, in order that If the complainants ever returned here they might be ar rested and made to press the charge, or stand trial themselves. It was de cided that, inasmuch as the good name of Muir was at stake while the matter stood as it did, the best thing to do was to dismiss the information. This was done, and Muir has a clear record, as far as the court is concerned. Muir was charged by Bartonett with attempting criminally to assault Mrs. Bartonett, in a roomlng-nouse. Muir was cnasea irom tne apartments oy Bartonett, and leaped through a sec ond-story window, falling Into the basement of a restaurant. Attorney Malarkey, after Investigating the case. immediately stated his belief that the Bartonetts were scheming to get pos session of 5542 they are said to have known that Muir had.

The semi-annual meeting of Columbia River Branch. Women's Foreign Mission ary Society, Is always an event of Im portance in the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church of the Northwest, and the sessions yesterday were of much In terest, as usual. Mrs. M. C. Wire, branch president, presided, and the music was in charge of Miss Ethel Beharrell. Reports and addresses. Including a talk of Mrs Toshloka, of the Japanese Mission, occu pled the morning. Mrs. A. N. Fisher, corresponding secre tary, summarized the society's recent work and future plans in connection with Folfs Mission Institute, Herkimer, N. Y. a training school for young women who are to become missionaries and spoke of the encouraging progress being made by the church in the foreign field, Colum bla branch being especially interested In Gujarat, India, where all the Christian work of tho Methodist Church among the village women and girls Is under the charge of the branch. Miss Laura Austin, of Centenary' Church Portland, has been studying at Folt's dur ing the last two years, and has been ac cepted as a missionary for the work In Gujarat, and will leave for India In the Fall, taking with her the good wishes of all members of the Columbia Branch whom she represents, and of the entire home church. Mr. Fisher also referred to the proposed Laura Cranston Memorial Hall, Foochow, China, to be erected in memory of the late Mrs. Earl Cranston, for the Chris tlan and literary education of Chinese girls. "Several Chinese girls have been brought by our missionaries to the United States for study," said Mrs. Fisher, "and have proved an honor to the universities from which they were graduated, but this Is too expensive and critical an undertaking to be extensively adopted hence the ef fort to provide adequate facilities In their own country. Let grateful thoughts of a home land, where myriad institutions are open to girls, find filling expression in one thank, offering, to be used for this first Christian college for girls in China. and let us make our building worthy to bear the name of the cultured lady who was ever the same gracious friend to the lowly as to those of high degree." Of the Anna Thoburn Deaconess Home, she said: "Ifo branch in our society has greater reason to share in this testimonial than Columbia River, because of the sacred relations formed in the closing earthly days of Mrs. Thoburn, and because she chose to leave her children with us and to make our soil her final resting place, Wa may not erect a marble shaft abovi her still form whose ne was one of self denial, but we may help to Inscribe her namft on the Deaconess Home amid the multitudes for whom she gladly spent her strength.

DOCTOR KERCH ASKS VISITORS TO QO THROCQH HIS ESTABLISHMENT TO SEE-PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE. PROVES MEDICINES PUKE. For the purpose of showing the puritv and honesty of; his medicines, the "Fa vorite Prescription n and the "Golden ! Medical Discovery," Dr. K. Y. Pierce has thrown open to public inspection nis laooratones ana woncs in rrauaio. At any time during the day visitors j are made welcome and shown through the' establishment by competent guides. These etudes explain the detailed and scientific work of the skilled chem ists and just how and of what the modern "patent medicine" is made. lo every visitor is also explained the system by which every user of Doctor Pierce's medicines receives individual care from one or more specialists. Dr. Pierce wax a memberiof Congress where he served with honor. He is a splendid specimen of Tmanhood with irank countenance, inspiring confi dence, and great personal magnetism. cot forty years Dr. Pierce has been actively engaged in the manufacture of his prescriptions. His fully-equipped laboratory has grown and expanded until now it is the largest and. most complete one known. Dr. Pierce s success is real. There is a steadily increasing demand for his medicines, proving conclusively that they are not nostrums, but reliable remedies for diseases. Specially educated for the medical profession, he early supplemented his studies by extensive and original re search in" its several departments. In these specialties he has become an au thority and recognized leader. Many of his remedies have been adopted and prescribed by leading physicians in their private practice. This success, oi course, has not grown witnouc awasening criticism and arousing comment. A. man who has the courage to break away from the narrow ethics of the medical pro fession and advertise broadcast his medicineB for men and women is sure to be assailed. These attacks have been all met with dignity by Dr. Pierce. It was only when definite charges of fraud were WILL HIE 10 CLU Williams Says Leave the Pri maries to Voters. CANDIDATE OF NO CLIQUE Declares That if the Party Wants Him It Will Nominate Him, Which He Thinks Equiv alent to Election. I have no clique, club nor machine. I am not trying to build up a Williams party. I am not seeking to drill, drive, organize or Importune the people into voting for me." Such was the response yesterday of Mayor Williams to the question whether he would organize a club for promoting hie candidacy for the Republican nomina tion for Mayor, the same as Glafke and Albee have done. He said further that the purpose of the direct primary law was to shut out cliques and clubs from control of party nominations and to al low the people their own choice In selec tion of candidates, free from machine and boss rule. Then the man who was United States Senator from Oregon and an associate of President Lincoln, Is the last survivor of President Grant's Cabinet,, and whose honors are evon more renowned abroad than at home, continued: Candidate Before All. "I am a candidate before all Republi cans for their nomination and not be'fore any club or set of men." Therefore, Judge Williams and his friends are not disturbed by the hurrah work of the various clubs. They say that no club of 50 or even 500 members has a right to dictate to the 12,000 Re publicans who are registered for the primaries, how they shall vote. Such do ings, say the Williams people, are like those of bosses against whom the city has been struggling many years, until now the direct nrlmary law Is to re lieve them from the boss's "collar." "I shall not make any speeches before the primaries," went on Mayor Williams, "They might create animosities within the party and be misconstrued. But if I shall be nominated I expect to make several addresses in which I shall explain to the people a number of thlng3 which have been misunderstood. Why Gambling Was Tolerated. I shall tell the people how and why the doIIcv. until recently In force m relation to gambling, was adopted. It has been said that that policy was mine. That Is not true.

"MnA'or Williams cited as an example that a chemical fire engine for a district on the East Side had been procurea win rifHvprt from the fining system. and that but for that revenue, the Are engine could not have been secured.

Good Health depends on. pure food. Bur made by a leading periodical that Dr. Pierce retaliated ty instituting a suit for $200,000.00 damages. Upon the filing of this suit, an inves tigation was made by the defendants, and a retraction was printed in a sub sequent issue of their paper. Dr. Pierce's large establishment in Buffalo is ope of the most interesting places in this country and is well worth a visit. A visit is worth while if only to wit ness the excellent methods by which each applicant for aid, whether he be correspondent or a patient at the hos pital, receives the care of eminent specialists in medicine and surgery. When these things may be personally inspected it must be acknowledged by even the most skeptical that the "patent medicine" businesses are not frauds but distinct advancements in medical science.
