Matthieu Is Here. F. X. Matthleu, of Butteville, solo survivor of the historical convention of May 3, IMS, Is visiting his daughter on the East Side. Mr. Matthleu Is pleased with the sug gestlon that the event, in which he took bo prominent a part in the long ago. Is to be celebrated with a special day at the Exposition. He feels that, while he will be the central figure on that occasion, being the only survivor of the 52 who then decided the destiny of the "Oregon Country." that It will be a celebration of the event that saved the country to the united States rather than In his personal honor. Mr. Matthleu Is in good health and will remain in the city until Friday Joseph Buchtel, who has the celebration In hand, Is working on the programme. On the suggestion of Mr. Matthleu the day for the celebration will be aftej- the middle of September, when the hopplck ors are through their work. There Is a Native Son's Cabin at Butteville which desires to take part In the ceremonies Mr. Buchtel said that as far as possible the programme will be made up of native- born talent, and he has already in mind those who will be Invited to participate In the exercises. Stock Again Runs At Large. Stock Is again running at large at Mount Tabor both Inside and outside "the annexed por tlon. For a time owners of cows and horses looked after them, but now, ac cording to reports, no care Is exercised The vote of two years ago that all stock In that precinct must be kept up Is daily Deing vioiatea. Mount Tabor was expected to enforce the law, but the con stable and Justice of the Peace tell the people that they must mako complaints before they can take any action towards enforcing the law. Some time ago H. W .Hodges took up some stock he found running at large, put them In an enclo sure, but In the morning they wore gone tne owner having come during the night ana took them away. The question is one that causes constant friction, a quite a number keep cows at Mount Tabor. His Cow "Was Taken. C. B. Nelson, of Mount Tauor. is doing a little detective work of his own to ascertain who took his fine cow a few nights ago. kept her more than 24 hours, and then turned her out milked dry. In some way not ex plained Mr. Nelson says his cow broke the chain with which she was securely iastenod and disappeared, and he hiked for many a weary mile all ovor Mount Tabor, but without success. Judge his surprise when he found the animal last evening near Prettyman's station, where he had been looking for her. She was very hungry and was eating everything In sight, even to an old cunnysack. He Is sure the animal was abducted and kept In close confinement all this time not far from where he discovered her. While he does not Intimate names, he has some strong suspicions.

BOATMEN OFFER OBJECTION Suggestions Made as to How Public Safety May Be Conserved "With out Adding Difficulties to Navigation on River. Rushlight's ordinance for the protection of life on boats plying the waters of the Willamette River, was amended very materially yesterday by the Health and Police Committee of the City Council, and is likely to pass In Its modified form. Quite a number of boatsmen were on hand to offer reasons why the original measure should not become a law. and in the discussion that followed they un doubtedly had the best of the argument although It is evident that Councilman Rushlight scored an Important advantage by getting the ordinance before the Coun. ell In any shape, on account of its likeli hood of interfering with the Federal stat utes. Boatman E. E. Kellogg was the first to take Issue with the proposition. Ho BROTHER AND SISTER MEET AFTER 61 YEARS. An element of palbs cropped out in the meeting on Oregon U the other day of a brother and sister who had been separated mere than three-score years. There have been numerous cases since the opening of the Lewis and Clark Exposition where relatives long parted have come together un expectedly, and in many Instances fic tion has been clearly outdone in con nection with some of the romantic features of the situation; but it has remained for Charles H. Cox and his sister to break all record? up to date in the matter of long periods be tween meetings. In June, 1844, Mrs. Susan B. Mel drum parted from her brother In Des Moines County, Iowa, and & year later, with husband and children, Journeyed across the plains towards the setting sun until she reached Oregon City, in this state, where the family decided to locate permanently, and here Mrs. Meldrum has abided ever since, pay ing little heed to the cycle of years, until now, at the dawn, almost of a century, the one whom she left as a rosy-cheeked youth upon the eld homestead in what was then one of the far "Western States," comes into her life again like the visitation of Father Time, and the one whom he remembered In the wlnsoroeness of early matronly ' grace Is found sur rounded by great.graadehlldren elder than the brother whom she had left 61 years before. While the brother and sinter have maintained an intermittent eeramuni catloa sufficient to keep them la touch with each ether's whereabouts, they have never met slnee tho day they parted until a short time ego. whoa he decided to leave his home near Platte ville. Grant County. Wisconsin, and take a trip to Oregon, where he oould visit the Fair and hunt up some of his relatives at the same time. Al though 83 years ef age on New Tears day. he looks 20 years younger, and told his story in The Oregonlan office last night with a clearsees that indi cated the possession of his lull rata til faculties. He has one son residing near Cor vallls. Or., whom he has been visit ing for the past four weeks, and an other residing at White Salmon. Wash., under whose roof he expects to pass a like period before returning to his home in Wisconsin. Mrs! Susan B. Meldrum Is the grand mother of State Treasurer Charles S. Moore, while one of her granddaugh ters Is the wife fit David Thompson, prominently identified with the politi cal history of Oregon, and asother is Mrs. Sarah McCowa, president f the Woman's Relief Corps f the G. a. R. saId there has nevor yet been a launch sunk on the Willamette Rivii r,A seeted that Instead ot life-preservers. . " per ceni oi tne people did not nnow now to us:, lifebuoys should be provided the different kinds of craft, ac cording to size, each buoy to bo equipped with 75 feet of rope, and he thnmrhr th. would be capable of holding up four or H.cu.ia uuui rcnei snouid come. In the event of a collision with email Knntd He seemed to think the greatest danger "'c "w arose irom tne miscellaneous number of small boats and private launches, having on board Inexperienced crews, and this view of the situation was coincided In by Mike Merrill. Captain Mc- t tV, vjoienie, ami Harbormaster Relative to the question of carrying lights, there was considerable difference fi uP " the boatroen holding that .iBio at enner ena oi tne rowboats would Interfere with the safety of things by blinding those navigating the craft, and ujjo wieory was recognized by the Government whose regulation nmhihitA any lights from shining in the face of me man at tne wneeL Mr. Kellogg stat ed that he was a licensed captain, and the Federal regulations prescribe that no navigator shall be placed In a position where the rays shall affect the vision. He contended that the late drowning accident was the result of a collision between the launch Fox and the row boat at a bend In the river, and was not caused by a lack of lights, as it occurred at 8:3) P. M., when It was not yet dark. AccorJinsr to Kellogg; thero have been but three lives lost through colli sions in the past 12 years. Captain Mc Kee said that If 102 life-preservers had been on tho boat that was upset tho other night It would not have saved any lives. As amended, the ordinance provides that boats of all kinds under 15 tons burden, whether run for hire or owned by private parties, shall have on board llfe-praservers of any kind and char acter proscribed by the harbormaster. In number sufficient to supply one for every four persons carried, and shall have on board, and kopt burning- at all timers so as to be plainly seen, at least one light Provision Is made also for one life buoy on boats of less than 25 feet: 2 for boats of from 25 to 40 feet, and 3 for boats of from 40 feet to 15 tons. It Is believed the boatmen will not raiee any question of Jurisdiction, all apparently evincing- a disposition to obey whatever laws the city may see At to adopt in the matter rather than have their buslnes Injured by any further unnecessary discussion of tho matter. They nil seem satisfied with the situation in consideration of the fact that the owners of small boats and private launches are brought In the same category with them, and there Is no discrimination in that respect GARBAGE QUESTION . DELAYED Right to Gather Waste and Operate Crematory Xqt Decided. It was expected that the health and po lice committee of the City Council would take some definite action yesterday after noon with reference to the ordinance In troduced at the last meeting 6f the Coun cil, granting to the Northwest Civic Im provement Company the exclusive rleht I privilege and authority to collect, remove uiiu uijjuse ui an bu-iuuge ana waste matter In the City of Portland, and to operate the garbage crematory or crema tories under the provision and Inspection of the local health authorities, but the committee adjourned until 1 o'clock to day after listening to short addresses by Mark Schlussel and R. T. Piatt both of whom argued In favor of granting the 25-year franchise as provided In the ordi nance. Although considerable notoriety had at tached to the measure, scarcely anybody was present outside of one or two direct ly Interested. The City Board of Health had been Invited to be on hand, but only Dr. Esther C. Pohl responded, and she became weary of waiting and went away before the committee got ready to take up the garbage matter. Councldman Shepherd, chairman of the committee, stated that the members thereof were In accord with the Idea that the present conditions were Intolerable, but he refused to indicate what decision the committee would reach In the matter of recommendation. The chairman stat ed also. that the garbage crematory as now conducted was costing the city fully 140 a day for salaries and Incidental ex penses, and that the service was very unsatisfactory. It Is understood, however, that some important amendments will take place in the ordinance before It roaches the Coun cil chambers this afternoon. It is be lieved that Mayor Lane intends to veto it as he expressed surprise when told that the committee had adjourned with out taking definite action. Improvement Permits Granted. City Engineer Wanzer has granted John Woods permission to improve lots 1 and 2, block 262, East Portland, by grading 1(0 feet.

Western Importing Company 329 "Washington Street, Imperial Hotel Building. MAY WIDEN MARKET F. B. Thurber, Head of Export Organization, TELLS OF ITS OPERATIONS Transportation at Low Rates Essen tial to Greatest Possible Growth of American Export Trade. Speaks Thursday. "It isn't what you have got. but where you have got it. "that constitutes real value." said Hon. F. B. Thurber last evening. Mr. Thurber Is president of the United States Export Association of New York, member of the National Rnard of Trade, member of the Trans-Mississippi Congress and life member of the New York Press Club. He is scheduled for an address before the congress Thursday af ternoon. Continuing, Mr. Thurber said: "The organization of which I am presi dent consists of 220 of the leading man ufacturers of the United States, represent ing 9S lines of industry and situated In 34 different states. Its headquarters are In New York and we have over SCO corres pondents In the principal ports of the world. Our purpose Is to widen the world's markets for American produc tions and during the ten years of the as sociation's existence we have been em inently successful. The organization was ilrst conceived when I was chairman of the committee on foreign commerce of the New York Chamber of Commerce, and Is now a leading factor In world's busi ness transactions. Honorary Member of Congress. "I was made an honorary member of the Trans-MlsslssIppl Congress at the Wichita meeting and each year since then have been asked to present a paper upon the subject of commerce. This year I have chosen the theme of "The Future Markets of the Orient." so largely In the public mind. It will deal with the opportunities and the necessities of our reaching these markets and a prominent feature of it Is the question of transpor tation, both on land and sea. The chief factor In our rapidly increasing foreign trade is transportation. No man among our great captains of industry appreciates this more than Mr. James J. Hill, and In my opinion he has done more than any other man In the United States to create values by making It possible to market the products of this country both abroad and at home, when he transported the lumber of Oregon and Washington to the East and the cotton of the South to Japan; the steel of Pennsylvania to al! the far eastern markets with the miscel laneous manufactures of our great coun try, by practically cutting in two exist ing rales of transportation. "We must have cheap transportation on both land and sea. because the field Is now the whole world In commerce as well as religion, and If we will protect our transportation on the sea as we have upon the land so as to meet the difference In the cost of labor and also meet the subsidies that Japan and other nations give their shipping, we will be able to meet the competition of the world. If we do not do this then our profits will be forced to bear a higher land transpor tation and be crippled to that extent In competing with other nations in the mar kets of the world. Visited Portland 29 Years Ago. "In June. 1S76, I was In Portland at a time when you had a great flood. I was then on a trip around the world. The business houses of the city had- to move their goods to the second floor and tho sidewalks were all afloat I remember seeing fish swimming as I walked down Front street to the hotel which barely had head room between the ceiling and the planks leading from the sidewalk to the stairs. "The transition of the Portland of 1S76 to the Portland of 1905 Is one of the ro mances in American development and the development of the Pacific Northwest is even a greater romance. The next two decades under the Irrigation act which I think one of the most Important pieces of legislation ever enacted In this coun try, will give the Trans-MlsslssIppl re gion a productive power which will make It absolutely necessary to have wider markets. No narrow national policy will suffice. Sectional views must give way to a great world policy." Special Policeman Discharged. J Special Policeman Dan Conners, ' charged by Frank Bell with unpro- . voked asrault and attempted extortion, was dismissed from the department yesterday. By order of Chief of Police Grltzmachcr his star and keys were taken from him by Captain Moore last , night. It Is alleged that Connors tried , to hold up Bell and a friend at a police call box, after knocking Bell down.

They are the "SCALE." the '"MATERIAL." and the "WAY JX "WHICH THE INSTRUMENT IS PUT TOGETHER." If you choose a piano made throughout of the finest material one with a true scale and one which embodies the most advanced ideas of piano construction, you are SURE TO GET A GOOD ONE.
