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.

stock and work Cone at the latter's build
mg, tried yesterday in the East Side
Court, the latter undertook to show that
he had been swindled both in the amount
or material purchased and the work per

rect that the debt was contracted, and
it was admitted by defendant that S27.

FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE
i
SEXATOR FULTON HAS NO IN
FORMATION AS YET.
Thinks Vacancy Will Be Filled Soon
and Says Bcari Is Strongly
Indorsed.
"I have received no Information from
Washington," romarked Senator Fulton
last night, "as to who will be the Fed
eral District Judge,"
The Senator had Just arrh'ed from As
toria and he made the foregoing reply
to the Inquiry whether Judge Bean was
to receive the appointment In answer
to the query whether Judge Bean was
likely to be the appointee, the Senator
said that the Attorney-General had looked

was strong with the appointing powers
at Washington.
"When do you think the appointment
will be made?" was asked.
"Right away. In fact I am surprised
that It has been delayed so long. When
the vacancy occurred last Spring, I asked
the department at Washington whether
It desired the appointment to be made
then or In the Autumn, and I signified &
desire on my part to sec the selection
deferred. But I was Informed that the
Department of Justice wished the new
judge chosen speedily. When Mr. Cotton

tant to have him put off qualifying for
the office until September."

TO REGULATE BOATS
Proposed City Law Receives
Some Revisions.
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

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.

City Engineer Wanzer has granted John
Woods permission to improve lots 1 and

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."

PIANO
POINTERS
Three things should be considered In the
selection of a piano. 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. Never
mind the name If everything else 13 all
right. It has been said of some pianos
that their exploitation has cost more than
their actual construction. Does extensive
advertising add to the wearing qualities
of a piano? SEE OUR PIANOS. Tfaey
are honest and reliable. THEY ARE
MADE RIGHT.
