THE M0KN1NG- GKEGOXIAN, FRIDAY JULY T,190o. 11 yEHOFDOOKSMEET Culmination of Work Comes With Today. WILL' -ELECT OFFICERS Frank P. Hill, Librarian of Brook lyn Public Library, to Be Chosen President of Association Without Opposition. The culmination of the week's csslon 01 the American Library Association comes today in the popular meetings. All week the business' of the convention has been transacted in systematic order and liow all but the election of officers, a perfunctory act, is done. Of the things of greatest Interest to the public, the matter of children's libraries comes first, and the woman who is most closely connected with this phase of library -work,' Mies Frances J. Alcott. of the Carnegie .library, Pittsburg, will bo leading speaker. This will be at the morning session in the Unitarian Church, Seventh and Yamhill. The other discussion at this .session, that of a trained library service, Is of more inter est to the craft than to the general public. jt the evening session, the last. Dr. Melvll Dewey, of the New York State library, recognized by his fellows as the father of almost every movement which has tended toward the sproad and bet terment of libraries, will speak on the timely topic of unity and co-operation In library work. John Cotton Dana, of the public library In Newark. X. J., a gifted speaker, will follow the discussion of yes terday by speaking on what state and local library associations can do for library Interests. Dr. Theodore "W. Koch., of the University of Michigan library, will follow with a collection of sterepptl con views of Carnegie libraries, and then Dr. Ernest C. Richardson, librarian of the Princeton University library, will step out of the presidential chair and will he succeeded by Frank P. Hill, librarian of the Brooklyn public library. Yesterday's sessions were confined al most exclusively to the question of state library associations. In Its various phases. State commissions were chiefly in discussion and the leading address was at the morning session when Henry E. Legler. of Wisconsin, spoke. As outlined by him and the other speakers the state library commissions are mostly not over half a dozen years old and their purpose Is to aid smaller communities to estab lish libraries. This has been done in the first instance by the use of traveling libraries, which have become quite com mon In the Northern States. In Wiscon sin, as Mr. Legler pointed out. there are teams which make regular trips at spe cified times to carry these small, port able libraries of CO books or so. The problems regarding state libraries, especially, seem to be Innumerable, and took up" long hours of discussion during the afternoon and evening. At the business meeting of the chil dren's librarian Section; Miss A. H. Jack son, of the Carnegie library In Pittsburg, was elected president and Mrs. T. J. TIeaton. of the Washington public library secretary. There is no opposition ticket to the one proposal by the nominating committee of the American Library Association, but there, have' been seven nominations for the council and there are only five posi tions, and there will be some electioneer ing there. f OREGON WELL ADVERTISED LITERATURE DISTRIBUTED IX ALL THE STATES. What the Oregon Railway and Navi gation Company IS Doing to Foster Immigration. Just at this time, whon people of the rest of the continent are coming to Oregon In such large numbers, it is of interest to note the large part that the railroads have played in turning atten tion this way. During the month of June the advertising office of the O. R. 5L- N. passenger department mailed 42, 0S2 pieces of literature and during- May almost equaled the number, sending 37.076. "When It is taken into consid eration that a very large number of these documents are in response to in quiries from all over the world, there is reason to suppose that the fame of the Oregon country is more general and widespread than ever before. Publications issued within a few months total In numbers more than a quarter-million copies, and new book lets, folders and othor literature of a character to attract favorable consid eration of the Northwest as a desirable residence section of the country is be ing constantly prepared by It. M. Hall, advertising agent, whose compilations are made under supervision of A. L. Craig, general passenger agent of the system. "Oregon. "Washington, Idaho and Their Resources." containing 100 pages of descriptive and statistical In formation and a map of the Northwest, is Issued in an edition of fiO.OOO copies this year, and it is already apparent the demand will exhaust the edition very early. "Restful Recreation Re sorts," as its title Indicates, tells the city resident, weuried of dust and sounds, how to reach inviting shade of primeval forests; dashing mountain streams in which rainbow trout dis port in sparkling waters; describes the charm of a Columbia River steam boat ride, and makes the reader long for pleasures of beach sands and music of the waves. The 190S edition of this Summer booklet, recently Issued, Is 50,000 copies, and Is one of the most attractive publications of its kind seen this year. Another 50.000 edition is the lithograph folder, also issued as a wall map. showing the Columbia River through the Cascade Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, among the most instruc tive publications to make clear to strangers the topography of the region tributary to Portland. ""What Farmers Have Done" is a collection of facts from the experience of men who have been successful in various branches of agricultural pur suits, fruit culture and stockgrowing. It should be stated that this folder is also printed In large editions and also the Oregon. Washington and Idaho book. .Are joint publications of the Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. "Sum mer Seaside Service." the annual Joint time card and folder of information for travel from Portland to Astoria, II waco and North Beach. Is the latest publication, and another small folder has been ' published, quoting rates and other Information. In addition to those above mentioned, the regular folder and time card of the system Is printed in editions of 50.000 copies, making the combined editions of the Spring and Summer season total very large and among the most effective publicity possible. UNCLE SAAU "CHINESE I ' WOULD ill THEM Mayor's Purpose Regarding Milwaukie Gamblers. LANE DISCLOSES PURPOSE Tells What He Will Do It Ho Can "Get His Claws on Them" by Any Legal Method. "If I can get my claws on them. I am going to nail them." said Mayor Lane yesterday, when asked what action he proposed taking with reference to the Milwaukie gambling fraternity. "My le gal advisers are investigating the matter now," ho continued, "and If they decide that I bave any jurisdiction under the section of the city charter that presumes to give the Mayor and Chief of Police nf Portland authority ovr gambling games within a radius of four miles of the cor porate limits, I am going to proceed ac cordingly, but otherwise I shall let the thing alone, as I do not believe in 'but ting in.' "I understand th Attorney-General has expressed the opinion that I have no jurisdiction, and that his conclusions arc concurred In by District Attorney Man ning and City Attorney McNary. How ever, I shall sift It to the bottom, and If there is any chance for me to get hokl of them legally. I am going to do so." In response to the inquiry If there was not a state law against the system of gambling in vogue at Milwaukie, and if he could not proceed as a citizen to close up the games, the Mayor replied that he had his hands full at home as much as he could do. m fact, to mind his own business and he did not propose to hunt for trouble on the outside. The Chief of Police was yesterday di rected by the Mayor to Instruct the mem bers of his force. Irrespective of rank, to do away with the habit of wearing whlto gloves while on duty. "I mas be shy on Latin, but I am long on Chinook." said he, "and have adopted as my motto. 'Hlyu work, halo airs,' which, interpreted Into North American, means, 'lots of work and no style. " Heretofore the Executive Board has opened Its sessions every Friday at 4 o clock, but commencing with this after noon the Mayor proposes to establish an Innovation by making 2:30 P. M. the offi cial hour for assembling. This new order of things was hailed with delight by those around the City Hall, as the hour for meeting under the preceding administra tion was anything but popular on account of its lateness. The Council chamber has also been de cided on as the meeting place of the Ex ecutive Board, in future, instead of the cramped quarters adjoining the Mayor's office, and this likewise Is considered a sensible move. May Not Repair Building. Summary measures were adopted by Building Inspector Howard Whiting, yes terday afternoon, to prevent workmen from repairing an old wooden structure on Davis street, between Fifth and Sixth, known a- the Povey Bros." glassworks. The edifice already has a record for un- safcty. having fallen several years ago and seriously injured a fireman, so when Russell & Blyth, the agents, undertook to place the edifice again in commission. Whiting promptly vetoed the idea, and threaten the xnjDlw-s of the firm with EXCLUSION WAS arrest If they proceeded, and this had the desired effect. The building is not only dilapidated. :but Is also within the lire limits, and Inspector Whiting Is determined that the municipal lawi? governing the matter shall be vigor ously enforced He stated yesterday that he did not want any repetition of the dis aster that overtook the building upon a former occasion, and shall Insist upon a proper observance of the ordinances bear ing upon the subject In all future cases.

Speech of Presentation. Mn. Eva Emery Dye, of Oregon City, president of the Sacajawea Statue Asso ciation, delivered the speech of presenta tion. As she closed her remarks, a hush fell over the vast audience. She mo tioned to Mrs. Edna Snook, of Coqullle, who gave the cord a hearty tug, which swept away the Immense American flag, disclosing the beautiful bronze statue of Sacajawea. Almost simultaneously tho crowd broke Into a deafening cheer amid the strains of "America." It was sev eral minute beforo tho cheering sub nlded sufficiently to allow tho continua tion of the ceremonies. Mrs. Dye,' In de livering the presentation address, spoke as follows: "Dmx femina fact!" "A woman led the Wd.'" said Vlrjrll years ase. The Bible Itself Mother Eve first taated of the tree of Jcnowledpo and found It good. History tells us that Isabella outfitted Columbus for the dIfeovery of America.

At last, a captive Indian princess of the .Snoshenes completed tho march, guid ing Lewis and Clarlc through tho devious mountain way t the Western ocean. But more than that did Sacajawea .0ie pointed the. way to Asia, unlocking the gat-rt of tho mountains, and giving up tbe key to her country. But what Sacajawea did. many Indian women did. In rucelon. becoming the wive of trappers and traders, revealing the secrets of their country and giving over Its trad and resource to the whites, opening the way to a hlsher civilization. Women ar not by natun explorer and travelers, but where women xo. homes can so. families can he reared, towns, cities and states can be founded. Not until women came could America take anr secure hold of Oregon and this great Pacific empire.

For mlle.i the astonished Indians followed In idlem admira tion. "They crowed! Women crossed th Rocky Mountains'" Back In the State tbou.ands heard " It with a thrill. "Tes, women have gone Into Oregon." The deciding keynote had been struck for American homes beyond the Rockies. With women and wagons. Oregon was taken. The Indians expected to see an army with banners when the white man came, but no. the mother and the child took Oregon. Trap pers had been here, traders and shlp-masten had skirted these wild., but not until mother came was the true seed of a nation planted. And Sacajawea led them all. the dark-eyed prlncets of the native race, the child of Asia, beckoned the white man on. toward her ancient home In the Orient. Silent he stands, beckoning, beckoning, as beckoned the glrl gulde to Plzarro. and he put her to. death In the Peruvian mountains. The world haa moved since the day of the Spaniard. This memorial, erected by the popular con tributions or the women of every state In tho Union, aartsted by their sister of Hono lulu. Manila and Alaska. Is typical not only of the human appreciation of Sacajawea. her self, but of all women, and all mothers, who. with the Infant race in their arms, still lead on, on. In this movement, a handful of local wom en, well-known to you alt. led by Mn. Sarah A. Evans, of Osweso. Or., have untiringly persisted, until this beautiful work of art stands complete befora u.

"When they havo not been contami nated by the evils of the white race, they are the personification of tireless energy, patience and hospitality.

It is a magnificent work of art In bronze, showing: Sacajawea pointing- "Westward with her little pappoose strapped on her back. It Is the work of Miss Alice Cooper, of Denver, and cost $7000. The statue has been paid for In full, but the association is still indebted for $500 for tho pedestal on which It will rest. The flag In which the statue had been draped was presented to Miss Garlin Hill, of Independence. Miss Hill represented the Lewis and Clark Club that raised the most money to secure the statue. In accepting the flag-, which was presented to her by Mrs. Snook, who unveiled the statue. Miss Hill said in part: "The real value of this particular flag-, counted In gold nnd silver. Is com paratively small, but the representa tive value. Infinitely large, measured only by the history of the heroism and suffering, the trials nnd triumphs of that noble, daring Indian maiden whose name and fame are immortal in the annals of our country. Truly proud and happy are we of Independence that the honor of receiving this emblem of glory should come to us." Work or Travelers' Aid. PORTLAND.

TELEGRAPHY IN ALASKA GENERAL GKEELY TELLS OP EXTENT OF LINES. "Wireless System Proves ji Great Suc cess In the Far Northern. Territory, Brigadier-General A. VT- Greely. chief signal officer of the United States Army, who has been visiting In Port land for tho past few days, left "Wednes day night for Seattle, where he will remain until Tuesday next, when he will aall on the steamship Humboldt for tSkagway. After landing In the northern port. General Greely will cross ."Whlto Pass, travel down the Yukon to St. Michael, and return about Septem ber 15 by way of Nome. The particular reason for General Greely's extended visit to Alaska this Summer Is a desire to Inspect the Gov ernment telegraph lines hat have bean put-Into operation by this branch of tho War Department. These lines are more than 4000 miles long, nnd bring all of the populated part3 of the terri tory Into communication with one an other. "Comparatively few persons have any Idea of the extent of our lines In Alaska." said General Greely last night "We have more than enough to reach from here to Boston., and, they, are all In perfect working order. "One of the most Interesting sec tions of the line fs that between St Michael and Nome, via Safety Harbor. Over 307 miles of this distance we ope rate the most successful, wireless sys tem in the world. During the month of May we received in tolls $13,500. and every day 600D words of comr-'.erclal messages are sent between the two points. This not only gives some Idea of the capacity of the system, but also of the rapidly increasing commerce of that part of the territory. "It 1b a remarkable fact that during the time we' have "operated the wireless, not a single mistake has been traced to the system. The Instruments work to perfection, and the rates charged are comparatively low. -Of our total mileage, a little over half Is cable, operating between Seat tle, Sitka, Skagway and Valdez. This line brings all principal ports Into con nection with the United States, while land lines run into the Yukon" country from Valdez, to such points as Eagle City and St. Michael. "There Is another means of com munication from Skagway to Eagle City, or as It is otherwise known. Fort Egbert, and that Is by way of tne railroad lines over "White Pass and the Canadian government lines down the Yukon. "It can easily be seen that we have a system that covers the territory In excellent shape, and furthermore, it is all In working order, and Is conse quently of the highest use to the citi zens of Alaska."

The necessity of nslng the teeth freely so that the gentle pressure on. the-gums will , bring down the saliva to help digest the foockshould not be overlooked; chew chew and keep chewing. The result In a. few days will surprise one. There 13 still another Important reason, for the gums need the exercise to keep them healthy- A Peoria insurance man knows some thing about this from personal experi ence, and speaking of food he says: "The letters published by you from time to time on the subject of Grape-Nuts food by Grape-Nut users have three fine points the delicious quality of the food, the tone Imparted to the whole system, and the wonderful bcatn rebuilding effects. "But there Is still another point which strikes me as very Important and very strikingly Illustrated In my case... Twice . a year I have my teeth examined by the dentlst and given such attention as .1 found necessary, . 4 , ' Y "Up to the time I began to use Grape Nuts three years ago there was never a ' visit to the dentist but I had to have one, i or more defective teeth filled, but since ! eating Grape Nuts the same dentist has. I examined my teeth every six months as before, but has never found; another cavity. "Not only has this delicious cereal food" helped my digestion and. general healthf but I know It has also helped my teeth become sound and strong by giving them and the gums the proper exercise." Name given by Postum Co., Battle . Oreek, Mich. Grape-Nuts comes crisp for a reason. People should chew their food for the reasons given above. Put the Grape Nuts in one side of the saucer, cream in the other and take up a little of each in every spoonful. In this way not 'only will the flow of saliva be increased, but the teeth and gums will be made sound and strong. Get the little book. "The Road to Well vllle," in each package.
