Under- .all situations the new -Invention 1 has demonstrated Itself to be a success, and there is no doubt that it will prove itself worthy of the trial from the time it is put in commis sion in the "Willamette Valley. . General Manager B. A. Worthtngton yesterday received notice of the progress of the car in a message sent by A. L Mohler, vice-president and general man ager of the. Union Pacific. Mr. Mohler said: "We - ran the motor oar from North Platte to Denver yesterday, actual running time. 1:40; additional time. 1:26. at- .Julesburg. - Averate rate, 23 miles, including mooting and passing trains. The car works splendidly and will make an other trip from Denver to Groely tomor row. The day after We shall go to Cheyenne and west, if Mr. Kruttschnitt approves, which I have wired him about." Jt is, therefore, practically certain that Kthe people of Portland will be able to see the first motor car to be built in' the United States operated in the valley with in the next two weeks. Butchers 'and Others, She Believes, "Will 3&end Their' Co-Operalion to-Her EWorts in Behalf of Bettering Conditions. She's a small and a determined woman, but not .in the least the short-haired " emancipated" kind, though she's a spinster and a public official. A woman ovith a sense of humor which goes far toward establishing her as one of com mon sense. Quite an unusual person is Miss Lillian E. Tingle, authority on domestic science and market inspector of this community. I called upon her yesterday at the cook ing school, over which she presides, and was entertained and edified by her talk. She expects with the aid of the house--wlves of 'Portland, the market men them selves and good citizens generally to re form market conditions in this town and thereby contribute towards the public health, happiness and prosperity. "You see, I was not' hunting trouble and was given my present appointment as a task to do whether I wanted it or no. The remuneration is nothing hand Rome and I shall not be so attached to the undertaking that I will stick to it against public policy. I believe I can do some good in the -way of bettering con ditions and am interested greatly in se curing cleaner and more sanitary food, markets. .1 haven't been officially in formed of my appointment and it's a lit tle early" to go into detail as to what I shall do. "There is room for considerable im provement and I propose to do my part in contributing .to such improvement. 'Conditions which prevail here now are largely due to neglect and careless ness on the part of everybody, ratner than the deliberate violation of the laws of cleanliness and health on the part of those in the food-sellhig business. "In the past few weeks some of us weak women, who were interested in the subject, have been trying to arouse pub lice interest in the matter of cleaner markets, and it sdems that our efforts have been in a measure successful. v "The butchers and bakers and grocery men whom we have interviewed, In most instances seem grateful for suggestions and recommendations looking to the re formation of certain existing conditions. As a rule they want to be cleanly and display pride in excelling in neatness. In almost every Instance they told us that their shops were the best ordered In the city, and if we were looking for dirt we should visit- the other places. -Many of them do not seem clear as to the best methods of cleaning up, but when we intimated some things they might do they expressed a willingness to comply. "I do not anticipate that 1 shall have to use, a club in my work. I think re sults can be secured by moral suasion, but If it is necessary I am not afraid to use a club. As a girl I was taught to use single-sticks and foils and know how. There seems to be laws provided icr the regulation of markets and If no other means avail 1 shall invoke them. . "In the interests of my profession as a. teacher of domestic science, I have vis ited the markets of many of the prin cipal cities of thfs and foreign countries. I have alEo' studied the local situation, rather closely and believe that I have some good ideas which I shall try to ad vance, if I am properly supported. "It costs something to regulate mar kets, but In the end it is cheaper than typhoid and other evils which follow in the wake of uncleanly food markets. It costs the dealer a trifle more to run a clean shop than a dirty one. but the in creased patronage and standing which sanitary conditions bring should more than compensate for the additional ex-' pense of being decent. "So many ills are tracable to bad meat, bad milk, bad groceries and pastry that the Tesult of a reform In these directions should be decidedly felt in vital and health statistics. 'What we need Is a concerted effort on the part of all the people to bring about a betterment of our market affairs and I believe we are go- ing to see such an effort. A. A. G." AFTER A HIGH SCHOOL NOW Effort Will Be Made to Build at Gresham. ' t J. W. Shattuck, of Gresham. who was in the city yesterday, says that he will make a determined effort to establish a High School in Gresham, and intends to bring the .matter up again at the June shool election. Mr. Shattuck is inter ested In making Gresham a center. "The place ls growing rapidly," said Mr. Shattuck. "and many fine dwellings are being erected, but we lack something to make Gresham a center. We need a High School. I am in favor of the dis trict erecting a building that will cost about $3000. We can easily' put up a High School. The district voted for a High School two years ago. but the vote was against it at the last meeting, but I am going to try to get the matter up again in June. "A High School would be a good thing for us. We have a semblance of a HJgli School now, but it Is not satisfactory If Gresham does not get a High Schoo'l. then some other section of Eastern Mult nomah County will- establish one, and we wi'l be left. We always have had a fine school at Gresham and it alone adds $10 to the value or every acre of land. I am a firm believer in education, and that the best is none too good. Our district has no debts. We paid for the present schoolhouse by a 7 per cent levy, tend no body objected. We .can 'put up a High School easily and have no debt, and I hope to see it done the coming Summer, so that the school can be opened in the Fall." MOTOR-CAR ON ;THE WAY It Will Run on the West Side of the Willamette. The new motor car will be In Portland in a little more than a week and will be at once put to work on the West Side run "between Portland and Hillsboro. The car has now been sent from Omaha, where It was built, and is on the- road west, being put to all" of the most severe tests as It covers the journey. Before leaving' the shops at Omaha it was run out over some of, the heaviest grades, and otherwise tested as " to its ability ftQ mafntHln Epeeti and, pVlCt idg.4xy CHOC OMENH Entertained at Luncheon by the Commercial Club. . .

Prices on the Bourse today showed a general decline, mainly due to uneasiness of the Morocco ques tion and possible, events In the Far East. Visitors Ace Taken to Fair Grounds and City Park, and Are Greatly Impressed With Xorth ivcst Metropolis. Sloven of Chicago's most active busi ness men, representing the Commercial Club of that .city, were the guests of Portland yesterday. Before .they had time to eat breakfast' on their private car, the Sunbeam, they were met by a delegation from the Portland Commercial Club and though the officers of the local body were busy preparing for the meeting of the Oregon Development League today, they had time to play the host in excellent manner, ending with an elaborately served luncheon on a table showing the wealth of Oregon flowers. Having seen and enjoyed the prospect afforded by the city and the Fair grouds, the. ChicagV) men indicated by their speeches at the luncheon that they had been impressed by the significance of what they saw. The Fair was the chief topic, with Portland as hostess to the thousands to come here- this Summer. What the delegation thought as a whole Is shown best by the original lines quoted below from the address of J. E. Defo baugh, editor of the American Lumber man, spokon at the luncheon: As waits the bride with roses in her hair. Gowned In the costume that becomes her best. So Portland Btand invitingly and fair In light and color and rich fabric dressed. Portland, the Nation's hostess soon to be. With banners, flags and streamers ready furled, Portland the Nation's boast already she Portland stands waiting for the eager world. But not In temporary edifice And not in splendid glories of an hour The triumph of thy golden Portland Is Or these the secret of her name and power. Those structures lair shall melt and pass away, - This Exposition crumble into dust. But reputation shall not know decay Or bright escutcheon feel a taint of rust. . Think not the celebration great It be . More than the thing that It commemorates. These towers shall sink in Time's Teslsiles sea. But still will open swing thy harbor gates. Thy glory llRgers In thy harbor slips. "Thy fertile acres and thy forest trees; Thy fortune lingers In thy mighty ships That write thy autograph upon the seas. For Portland the chief speaker was President Cake of the Commercial Club, William D. Fenton representing the Fair officials, whose absence he excused on the plea that they were too busy getting the Fair ready to attend to social func tions just now- In the end Tom Richard son, in that forceful, emphatic way of his, delivered an impromptu address in which he brought out .clearly what an undertaking the Fair has been, how suc cessful it would be. what a great country Oregon was generally, ending with an eulogy of Chicago as the center of "boiled down essence of Americanism," then in some way connecting Portland and Chi cago together, so that President Hardin of the visiting body, secqnded by the whole body, decided to send the address to the Chicago papers tonight by tele graph as the best pro-Chicago speech any of them had ever heard. It was a love "feast and rose far above the atmosphere of commercialism which naturally surrounded the men. W. D. Haynie of the Illinois Steel Company did more to raise the luncheon above the commonplace by his remarks than any one. Gifted with a knack of tongue and a suggestion of thought which paints the commercial world like the brush of a Turner, he spoke of the unconscious work being done by Portland in com memorating the labors of Lewis and Clark, of the beauty, taste and judgment in the location and construction of the Fair, of the love of home apparent among the people of the city. Ho hacked back to the Chicago exposition, say ing that, though he believed as a whole it would never be surpassed, ne admired in the Lewis and Clark Fair the variety of prospect, .the many combinations of the buildings and tho mountains, "tho Works of man tied to the works of God." "In making the wreath to Lewis and Clark," he concluded, "put in a rose for Jefferson, and do not forget the Indian woman, Sacajawca, whom you have al ready rescued from oblivion, and make her stand out so that the hand she reaches back may touch that -of Poca hontas, and the Indian woman, the toller, who did her work and did it right, may be as conspicuous to the generations as the Indian woman of romance." Rather strange for a "body of men on business bent, the toast of the day was drunk to Sacajawea. The delegation from Chicago is com posed of John K. Hardin of -F. A. Hardy & Co.. manufacturing opticians; Ferdi nand P. Armbruster of Burley & Tyrrell, crockery and glassware merchants; Fred erick Bode of Gage Bros.' Company, a millinery house; J. E. Defebaugh. editor of the American , Lumberman; W. D. Haynie, general attorney for the Illinois Steel Company: Frank Hlbbard. of Hib bard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co., hardware manufacturers; W. F.

(To the Editor.) What Is the matter with the conductors that they cannot protect their pasjengers from falling in getting off cars. Sunday evening I saw a girl about IS or 19 years fall from a car at Eleventh and Morrison streets. I ran up to her. among others, and heard her say that she had told the conductor to let her off at Yamhill, but that he took her to Morri son and then slowed up, and that as she put .her foot down the car gave a sudden lunge and threw her flat on her back. She was hurt, but " her one thought seemed to be to get home, away from the curlou? ones. Her Baster suit seemed badly spoiled. AN ONLOOKER. Cadets Return to Portland. Company A. of the Ncwill Riverside Academy, 32 strong, commanded by Ser-geant-Major L. P. Stewart, of the "United States Army, returned- to Portland yes terday at 10:45 A. M. Camp Stewart, "lo cated six miles back of St. Helens, where the boys experienced six days of regular Army life, was broken Monday afternoon, the company marching into St. Helens and camping there during the night. Some of the Features Which Go to Make This So Popular Among , . the Citizens of. Portland and Suburbs. With an automobile parade, pretty women in charge of the booths, places galore to spend your wealth, and yet get your money's worth, dancing and (other places of amusement, the Elks' County Fair opened last night at .the Armory. "Upstairs and downstairs the place was beautifully decorated. There was a minstrel shot trapeze perform ers and pretty girls who sold chances on everything from a needle to a house and lot. There was a large crowd' on hand to enjoy what the EJks had to offer for salexand the fun they furnished. Those in charge of the booths did a thriving business, and when it came time tox lights out the barkers, while they might have to hunt up physicians this morning and get their bronchial tubes mended, wcro happy. The large , drillroom of the Armory was lined with booths. Several of them were scattered along the center. Among tho crowd that visited the fair last night was Mique Fisher and-several of his Royal Bengals. Captain Graham, Happy1 Hogan. Bobby Keefe and Sheehan. These ballplayers were Elks, and they bought everything from sticks of candy to horseshoes and chances on the latest confection In feminine hats. While Fisher was in specting a ladles' bonnet some one whispered to him that there was danc ing upstairs.- He blinked like an owl at the maid that was trying to sell him the bonnet, offered her his arm and wafted away to the hall with Charley Graham and the rest of the team In his wake. When they arrived where the dancing was going on It was a two-step, and for once King Kiddo Fisher was left at the post. Mique couldn't two-step, so It was Graham who danced with the fair lady. An other visitor to the fair was George M. Shreeder. manager of the Lyceum Theater, of Tacoma, Mr. Shreeder was last year vice-president of the Tigers. Undoubtedly the big hit of the evening's ontertalnment was the "Elks' Minstrel Maids," an original burlesque on an old time minstrel performance. Introducing many of the famous minstrels of years past. The minstrels were all young and pretty girls, not one of whom had ever appeared professionally, but so clever and unique was their work that they could have given their act as old-time perform ers. They brought on their own chairs and properties and blacked up In full -view of the audience. Ail the music was ex cellent and even the gags and "business" was new. They will continue the minstrel maids each evening during the fair. Voting on the most popular Elk, candi- Royal Baking PowcJe Saves Health ' -r and aves money ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. dates for mayor, municipal judges, coun cilman and most popular traveling men was exceedingly brisk.

Heard in the Rotundas "The Harney and Malheur lakes are the greatest hunting grounds in the United States for all kinds of wild fowl, I believe," remarked J. T. Mahon, a Harney County rancher, at the -Imperial Hotel recently. "Everybody that goes there shares my opinion, too. You see, the two lakes are about 150 miles from the railroad and com paratively few people hunt there, con sidering the amount of game. "But there are quite a few sports men congregate at the Narrows every Fall, which Is a small stream connect ing the two lakes. A. bridge crosses the stream, and it is here that the "sportsmen- do their shooting. You don't have to get a boat and go out in the lakes. AH you have to do is t(5 stand on tlie bridge and shoot. "Just at daybreak the ducks begin Kto fly through the Narrows. They will keep It up for several hours, just one continuous stream of birds crossing the bridge. There are thousands and thousands of ducks and geese. Some- CK1CAGO BUSINESS MEN WHO WERE GUESTS TS POKTLAND, PHOTOGRAPHED UNDER SHADOW OF JFOKKSTRY BUtLDING AT LEWIS AND CIK EXPOSITION. Photo by Kiser Bros. times there will be so many hunters on the bridge shooting that it will sound like a sham battle. It is the same way in the evening. "I have seen that bridge covered with empty shells to the depth of three or four inches. Valuable guns are ruined there nearly every day from becoming overheated from the constant firing. The ranchers very rarely hunt ducks. They go out after swans, whch are very plentiful. I went out one time and killed 14 swans, so you can lorm- an Idea how' thick they were." "I wish the State Printer niade even half as much as he is accused of get ting." said J. R. Whitney at the Im perial Hotel yesterday afternoon. "We have been grossly misrepresented from the start to flnlsh. It has been Stated that when the laws are printed in pamphlet and then placed in book form that we charge for two composi tions. We dbn't do anything of the kind. It, Is absurd. "The printing for the state is being done cheaper now than it could be by any other method. If it were let out by contract it w"ould cost a great deal more. Then, if the state decided to do Its own printing a hew plant would cost at least $35,000. Take any un prejudiced printer, who has made a thorough examination into the meth ods employed by us, and he will- tell you that tne state Is having the work printed at a very reasonable figure." "Portland is very quiet now, so far as the Police Department is concerned, but wait until the Exposition Is run ning at full blast." said United States Deputy Marshal W. R. Byron, from Boise, at the Hotel Perkins the other evening. "Why, Portland is full of crooks right now, but they are afraid to operate and are waiting until the. city is crowded with strangers. "This afternoon I walked around Portland for a few hours, and within that time recognized seven or eight professional crooks who used to work in the Idaho towns. They were all desperate men. They know that if iyjey begin now they would probably be caught by the police, but with the thousands of people here this Sum mer ft will be an entirely different mattev' PlJffSON'AIi MENTION. D.
