Nature, which has contributed so
much to the beauties of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, occupied an envious
position in the hearts of the many vis
itors to the Fair yesterday. Nature
has always taken a pardonable pride
in the Exposition, as it is nestled in
one of her greatest masterpieces of
scenic landscapes, but yesterday she
was doubly proud as one of her most
beautiful creations, the Oregon Grape,
received especial recognition.
The exerc'ses of the day were held
in the Oregon building at 2 o'clock in.
the afternoon. Airs, saran a. jvaus.
president of the State Federation of
Woman's Clubs, presided. She opened
the exercises with a few introductory
remarks, relative to the beauty of the
Oregon grape, greatly pleasing the
large audience, which completely filled
the building.
Myers' Tribute to Floral Emblem.
President Jefferson Myers, of the Or
egon State Commission, delivered one
of hi6 characteristic addresses of wel
come, which are Invariably to the point
of bubbling over with his wholesome
expressions of hospitality and cordial
ity. President Myers, in the course of
his remarks, paid many high oompll
ments to the ladles of the State Fed
eration of "Woman's Clubs, under whose
auspices the exercises were conducted.
"It is observed that a young man.
In his anxiety to obtain the heart and
hand of a beautiful young lady, will
bestow upon her the most exquisite
bouquets of flowers that can be se
cured. It is also noticeable that in the
departing hours of our friends, that the
last respect which we pay them is the
placing of beautiful wreaths of flowers
upon their last resting place. It is,
therefore, very appropriate and proper
that the selection of this state flower
should have been made by the mothers
of this country, for it is their side of
life that has always provided the sun
shine, the sympathy and the kindness
of the human familj"
History of Its Adoption.
George H. HImes, of the Oregon His
torical Society, who was among the
first to fa'or the grape flower as a
state emblem, gave the history of its
adoption, from the time he first suggested
it 20 years ago to the endorsement by the
State Horticultural Society in 1S92 and its
formal . adoption by the Legislature in
Oration for Mrs. Duniway.
Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway was present
at the exercises, and upon the earnest
solicitation of her many friends, was per
suaded to say a few words to the au
dience. She "as given a hearty ovation.
Mrs. Duniway delivered a short but ex
tremely interesting address. Mrs. Duni
way is one of the brightest talkers in
the United States, and yesterday she was'
in her happiest mood.
In speaking of the State Federation of
Woman's Clubs, Mrs. Duniway said that
the men of Oregon, as a whole, did not
object to their wives belonging to clubs.
"The men are not afraid the women will
neglect their domestic affairs by attend
ing the club meetings," said she. "The
prettiest children, happiest households,
most contented men, and the most intel
ligent and healthful women, you find
when you go into the clubs," continued
the speaker. "Next year the men of
Oregon will mark an epoch in the history
of our sex, when they will Join hands
with their brethren of Wyoming, Utah,
Idaho and Colorado, in granting us the
right to vote," she concluded in speaking
of women's suffrage.
XatlonaKand State Flowers.
Another interesting speaker at the pro
gramme was Madame Anna von Rydlnga
vard, formerly of Boston, who took as
her subject, "National and State Flow
ers." She spoke of the sympathy that
exists between human beings and plant
life, tracing It through the various super
stitions of different nations regarding
the characteristics of trees and plants.
She spoke in some detail of the state
flowers of America. The other numbers
on the programme consisted of vocal
solos by Miss Mary Alverta Morse. Miss
Mabel Pearl Baker, and Mrs. w. B.
Hamilton, all of which were excellent
and well received by those present.
Following the exercises, punch was

OCCUPATION TAX UP AGAIN
St. Johns Council Spends Half the
Night With Municipal Affairs.
St. Johns Council spent half the night
Monday at the Council chamber hearing
the reading of the occupation and gen
eral license ordinance, both of which are
very long. It was 12 o'clock when the
Council adjourned. The occupation tax
covers the same ground as the
Portland ordinance does, only the tax
Imposed on the various occupations Is
reduced from the Portland figures. It is
Intended only to use the occupation tax
to tide over the difficulty, as there will
be money from the tax levy next year.
It was reported at the meeting by Attor
ney Greon that Assessor Slgler had asses
sed the taxable property In St. Johns
at J 1.250.000, and as the charter allows a
10-mlll levy. $12,500 can be raised In the
Spring If the limit of the charter be
levied:
As Councilman C. D. Edwards, whose
eligibility to sit as a member of the
Council Is questioned, and his attorney
was not present, consideration of his
case was continued until Friday night,
when the matter will be settled.
City Treasurer F. W. Valentine Is
again eligible to hold offflce, as he has
purhcased a quarter block In tho heart
of St. Johns. Marshal Merit Hanks also
has purchased a lot, and the Council re
confirmed his appointment. The measures
to oust the Treasurer and Marshal have
been withdrawn, and the Edwards case
only remains to settle.

Recorder J. W. Hanks, of St Johns, the
new city down on "the peninsula, received
a letter frgm. Assessor Slgler yesterday
stating that the taxable valuation inside
the corporate limits of St Johns was
5L250.OM. This is probably tho biggest
Jump In taxation valuation reported any
where around Portland. A year ago the
taxable valuation in St Johns was placed
at $360,000. and tho population a little
over a year ago was something over
E23. The exact population of St Johns
is not yet known, but M. L. Tuffs has
commenced taking the census. It Is esti
mated at 2500. Since the valuation was
fixed a year ago several large concerns
have located at St Johns, including the
Portland Woolen Mills, a plant that rep
resents an expenditure of about $250,003.
besides the shipbuilding plants and manu
facturing concerns.

WATER MIS IE EMPTY
CITIZENS FIGHT FIRE WITH
WELIi WATER AND BLANKETS.
One Residence Burned to Ground,
hut Five Others at Mount
Tabor Are Saved.
With scarcely a drop of water avail
able the fine residence of C W. Davis,
on West avenue and East Ankony
street, at Mount Tabor, caught fire last
night and was burned to the ground.
Part of the furniture was saved, and
had there been water In the mains, the
building might have been saved.
Chemical engine from Engine Com
pany No. 9, Sunnyslde, in charge of
Captain Hansen, went to this fire. Act
ing District Engineer vrilliam Kerrigan
who also made the run there, arrived
when the building was ablaze, and tho
firemen set to work to save the adjoin
ing cottage, owned by C A. Thomas,
which caught on fire and was consider
ably scorched, but was saved. Five
other houses were also saved through
the efforts of the firemen. It was hard
work. Water had been shut off from
all the "houses In the entire neighbor
hood since yesterday afternoon at
about 1 o'clock. "Working under the
direction of Captain Hansen and Act
Insr District Engineer Kerrigan, the
residents got blankets, and saturating-
them with water from a well In the
neighborhood, the Thomas cottage,
which was burning briskly, was saved.
and the adjoining five cottages were
protected. The loss on C. w. Davis'
dwelling is J2200, partly covered with
Insurance. Damage to the home of C
A. Thomas was only about $100, owing
to the effective work of the firemen
and neighbors.
If the owners of the Mount Tabor
waterworks could have heard remarks
made about the water being shut off
from the houses of the whole district at
Mount Tabor and Montavllla made at
the fire last night, they would not havo
sounded very pleasant. Ever since the

from the houses every night. Icavln

that half a oozen nouses would have

Arrest Was Not Ordered.
Policeman Ole Nelson placed Special Of
ficer Mott under arrest at Fifth and
Washington streets at 5 o'clock yester
day afternoon, for no reason except that
R. W. Barrett, an alleged detective, said
he had orders ,from Mayor Lane to have
Mott taken to headquarters the first
time he was located.
Policeman Nelson evidently did not
notice that Barrett was drunk, otherwise
he probably would not have paid any
attention to bis statement concerning
Special Officer Mott. Nelson accompanied,
the two men to headquarters, where they
entered the privnte office of Chief Gritz
macher. Barrett was not so drunk that he could
not talk, but he was so drunk that he
could not talk Intelligently, and, Chief
Grltzmacher leaned back in his chair and
planned how to get some work out of the
detective staff. Instead of paying atten
tion to the babblings of the drunken al
leged sleuth.
Chief Grltzmacher did not want Mott
for anything, neither had Mayor Lane
ordered Barrett to give the matter at
tention, so Mott was permitted to go.
Barrett remained and talked a half hour,
after which he also went.

claiming they have no right to bring

disagrees with Day on this point, for
In his order he said:
"It behooves the police to tako very

BACK TO PULPIT
"What Food Did for a Clergyman.
A minister of Ellxabethtown tells how
Grape-Nut brought him back to
his pulpit: "Some 5 years ago I had an
attack of what seemed to be Lagrlppe
which left me In a complete state of col
lapse and I suffered for some time with
nervous prostration. My appetltle failed.
I lost flesh till I was a mere skeleton,
life was a burden to me. I lost Interest In
everything and in almost everybody save
my precious wife.
Then on the recommendation of some
friends I began to use Grape-Nuts food.
At that lime I was a miserable skeleton,
without appetite and hardly able to walk
across the room; had ugly dreams at
night, no disposition to entertain or be
entertained and began to shun society.
"I Anally gave up the regularly minis
try. Indeed I could not collect my
thoughts on any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After I had been using
the Grape-Nuts food for a short while I
discovered that I was taking on new life
and my appetite began to improve; I be
gan to sleep better and my weight In
creased ateadlly; I had lost some 50
pounds, but under the new food regime
I have regained almost my former weight
and have greatly Improved in every way.
"I feel that I owe much to Grape-Nuta
and can truly recommend the food to all
who require a powerful rebuilding agent,
delicious to taste and always welcome."
