The Royal Hawaiian Band, which has been at the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion for the past month, played its fare wet! concert last noght before the largest audlonce it has had any time since it Jas been In Portland. Fully 2000 persons attended the night concert, and nearly as many were present during the after noon. Both concerts were rendered from the bandstand at the foot of the Lake view Terrace. The audlonces for the two concerts wore particularly enthusiastic and the band was obliged to render encore after encore. The glee club received a tre mend o as ovation at the two "concerts, and was called back again and again by the heavy applause. Madame Isane Alapai, the Hawaiian vocal soloist, who accom panles the band, was also .given a -hearty ovation. She appeared twice during the night concert, and was obliged to render at least half a dozen encores. Both of the two last concerts ended by the bend playing "The Star Spangled Ban ner. All tho members of the band have become deeply attached to Portland and The Exposition since they have been here, and would like to remain the en tire season. The regret over their de parture is shared equally with the Ha waiians by the music-loving public of Portland, which has been greatly pleased with the band, whether the days or nights were rainy or cool, the band has always played to large crowds, and a "light house has been entirely foreign te the Hawalians while at the Expo drion. They go from here to San Fran ciseo, and after making- a tour of the nrincinal cities of California, return to the Hawaiian Islands. Ellcry's Band, conceded by critics to be the finest musical organization of its kind in the United States, opens at the Exposition this afternoon, and will re main until the Fair comes to a close. The concerts will be given In the band eiand when the weather permits, and at other times they will be rendered In the Auditorium. Ellory plays many popular numbers, and one night this week the entire nrocramme will be composed of light music ITALIANS OXCE MORE A TOOT Differences Burled, Then Day Will Be a Success. An amicable adjustment of the friction which has arisen lately In the local Ital ian colony, ana wnicn inreaienea xor a time to disrupt further proceedings in connection with their National celebration at the Lewis and Clark Fair, was reached yesterday at a Joint meeting of the contending factions held in Eagle Hall. In the course of which It was ar ranged to carry out the original pro gramme of observing next Wednesday, September 20, with all due ceremony, as Italian day. In conformity with the general plan of conciliation, Peter de B. Rossi, Commis sioner-General of Italy, who had been chosen as honorary president of the day. tendered his written resignation, and Dr. C. F. Candianl was re-elected in his place. John Cordano presided at tho meeting. which waa held under the auspices of tho executive committee for Italian day and a large numberf Italian residents of this city. Tho best of feeling prevailed throughout. Mr. Rossi explaining in his letter of declination that he was unable to accent the honor that had been ten dered him, and suggested that Dr. Can dianl. the Italian Consular agont, was the best fltted for the position. The reso lution naming tho latter as president of the day carried with it a strong Indorse ment of his patriotic motives, together with a statement that It was never the Intention of Dr. Candianl to interfere in any way with the celebration, and that his circular letter in favor of tho Calabria sufferers was prompted only by oenti ments of sorrow and pity. In a communi cation to The Oregonlan. Dr. Candianl calls upon all Italian residents of Port land and vicinity to Join in the festivities and help make Italian day at the Fair a complete success.

Committee of Land Officials Ex plains Pacific Coast Conditions. Stumps go Value Only Just Basis of Sale. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Sept. 17. President Roosevelt, in his forthcoming messago to Congress, will urge the remodeling of the public land laws, and- among other things will spe cifically recommend the repeal of tho timber and stone act. the law which has been responsible for moro fraud and which has caused the Government greater actual loss of money than any other public land statute. The President will base his recommendation upon the report of the Public Lands Commission, consist ing of Commissioner Richards, of the General Land Office; F. IL Newell, head of the Reclamation Service, and Glfford Pinchot. Chief Forester. This commission submitted to Congress at its last session a second report on its investigation, and, among other things. said: Initanceff of the beneficial operation of the timber and Koae act may be cited, but, when it la considered from the point of view of the general interest of the public. It becomes obvious that this law should be repealed, Since the foregoing report was pub lished, the commission has submitted to the Public Printer a great appondlx, con taining data and facts upon which its conclusions were based. This appendix has not yet been made public, but an ad' vance copy throws some light on the facts at hand bearing on the operation of the timber and stone act. Timber Land Not Good to Farm. The Public Lands Commission, it seems. appointed a committee consisting of Spe cial Agents Edward W. Dixon, S. J. Cplter and F. M. Goodwin to examine into the workings of the timber and stone act in the Pacific Northwest- This com mittee reached some conclusions which will be of Importance, though they are not of a startling character. They tend to show the faults of the timber and stone act, and indicate wherein that act may be Improved. The committee says: It Is a well-known fact that the great ma' Jorlty of lands entered under the timber and stone act pass sooner or later out of the hands of the original purchasers from the Government, the remainder being uUlized by those who have purchased the lands as an adjunct to the logging or milling buslnem. and In such cases the individual either sells but it will be inoracticable to stoo there. The timber and stone act Is at present tne chief source from which tho money in the reclamation fund Is derived. With that law repealed, the reclamation fund must practically stand still, unless some other source of supply is provided. It will therefore be. urged that, in lieu of the timber and stone act. some law be enact ed authorizing the sale of public timber at its atumpage value, the proceeds ' of such sales to go into tne reclamation fund. In the event that such a law is enacted, the reclamation fund will prob ably grow twice as rapidly as it is grow ing at this time, for the disposal of tim ber for Its actual value will bring a great er return than its disposal at a flat price of $2.o0 an acre. Two years ago the Government sold tim ber lands belonging to the Chippewa In dians In Minnesota on a stumpago basis. and the sales netted tho Indians $15.05 per acre. Had those lands been sold un der the timber and stone act, the price brought would have been but $2-50. Tet the Chippewa timber lands, which readily brought $15 an acre, in open competition and after due appraisement, would be termed "scrub" lands in the Pacific Northwest lands too poor to be logged. How much, then, would be realized for the cream of the Oregon. Washington and Idaho forests, if the timber should be sold as proposed by the Commission? There is this to be said: The great ma jority of the purchases of timber lands under the timber and stono act have been made in the interest of blg'logging and lumbering concerns and corporations. These concerns are the principal users of timber, and by careful management have cornered vast areas of the best timber in the Northwest. If the timber and stone act is reijealed. these Interests will not be immediately affected; they have all the lumber they can handle for years to come. Because of this fact, there would prob ably bo light sales of timber for tho next few years: there would be little demand. and speculators would hesitate some time before buying up public timber at stump- age values, in the hope of selling it la the distant future at what they hope might be a profit. The adoption of the stump- age system as a substitute for the tim ber and stone act would practically put an end to fraud in public timber land transactions, and would materially swell the public receipts. Vast Sums Thrown Away. For instance, during tho past two years the Government has disposed of some 3.000.000 acres of land under the timber and stone act. Its receipts were approx imately $7,500,000. These lands, at a rough and very low estimate, were actually worth at least $15 an acre, on the aver age, so the Government was positively cheated out of $12.50 an acre, or the im mense total of $37,500,000. almost as much money as has been converted Into the reclamation fund in four years. Had the stumpage rule prevailed, the Government would today have upwards of $100.Q,000 with which to build irrigation works, in stead df a little more than $40,000,000. These facts may not appeal to all Sen ators and Representatives: they do ap peal to President Roosevelt, and that is why the President Is going to make a strenuous effort to bring about the re peal of the timber and stone act at the coming session. He wants not only to put an end to the fraud, but to see that the Government derives a Just return for the timber with which it parts. 0 r Specials aleofParlorTable; his logs in open market or manufactures the gjQ TRAMP BOAT ARRIVES . m I The Kclvinbank Reached Portland Yesterday Morning.

EXPECT IiARGEST ATTENDANCE Portland Day "Will Probably Make Record for This Year. Portland day, September 80, Is the stthject of no little discussion among1 the people at the Lewis and Clark Ex position, manj estimates being made on tho probable attendance. Some per- fs are convinced that the record of attendance for the Fourth of July, the ADMISSIONS, 11,064. The record of the turnstiles yester day at the Fair showed 11,801 admissions. admissions on that day being a trifle over 57.000. will stand for the entire Exposition. The majority, however, be lieve that the admissions on Portland day will exceed all previous attendance by far. At nearly all the expositions that have been beld during recent years, the attendance on the home city's day has bce the largest, and it is thought that this precedent will be repeated at the L.ewi and Clark Exposition. The out side attondance on 'the Fourth of July was -not vory large, most of the visit ors on that day being from Portland ad the Immediate vicinity. Most of the towns in Oregon and Washington had Fourth of July celebrations of their owa. If there are not so many strang ers in Portland at the present time as there were several weeks ago when the tourist travel, was supposed to be at its heaviest, the attendance at tne Ex position does not show It. but instead the dally admissions, considering the unfavorable days, is still on a gradual laoreaso and shows no elgns of, falling off. Beceptlon to Washlngtonlans. Mrs. T. B. Wallace, official hostess at the Washington building, for Tacoma weak, which begins today, arrived In Portland yesterday afternoon. This af ternoon Mrs. Wallace, and her corps of assistants, will receive and entertain the official family of the Washington building. The reception will begin at 4 o'clock In the afternoon. Over 130 persons are connected with the Wash ington building. Baby Named After Explorers. Among the prettiest babies at the baby show Saturday afternoon at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and one that attracted universal comment, was Lewie Clark Metzger, the first baby to be named after Lewis and Clark.

IVhisky at Church Festival. Philadelphia North American. An investigation is being conducted by the committee in charge of a country church festival, recently held near Annan- dale, N. J., at which it Is said Eeveral young men a'nd women became Intoxicated by drinking lemonade and eating Ice cream into which some one had poured a quantity of apple whisky. The guilty persons are said to be young men of this neighborhood. Several young women par took of one or more plates of cream, after which they began to act in an unusual manner, and others became very sick. Four or five young men were affected in a like manner, and it became evident to the staid old farmers that their sons and daughters were under the Influence of liquor. Investigation revealed the fact that a large quantity of applejack whisky had been poured into the ice cream, while a tub of lemonade had been doctored in a similar way. The mothers of the girls have demanded that the guilty persona be located and punished, and arrests are expected. The village of Sconeld.

It Is a unique occupation, requlr- lnr considerable skill. Judgment and Pa tience. The pauperis nave oeea enracea in tht bunnee for 0 rears. It Is the opinion of Special Agent Dixon, after rereral years experience and ckve ob servation, that comparatively none of the land taken up under tbe timber and atone act la utlltxed for farming or agricultural purposes. This would appear to be due to tiro essential causes: First The act makes provision for the taking up of only ruch lands as are unfit for farming. Second Where lands are covered with an exceed vely heavy growth of timber, farming Is precluded by reason of the treat cort attending the putting of such janos in a siaie 01 cultivation. How For Is Selling Illegal? a no committee men ocais with a very vital feature or the timber and stone act. a feature on which hinges the validity of many timber sales that have been made by persons acquiring Umber lands from the Government. It says: It appears to this committee that a report wiui reierence to me gooa latth of pur chasers under the timber and stone acf'must largely" depend upon the c nit ruction placed upon tho language used In said act. It is fact beyond question that there is not single purchaser of land under the timber and atone act who does not understand the law to give him the right to dispose of that land and reap tbe benefit theref; that he is not required as & purchaser under said act to make any specific use of either the land or the timber thereon. If such be a correct In' temretatlon of the act. it n-miM Am that all cales thereunder, while speculative, are not la violation thereof where, collusion does not exist. It is a fact within the knowledge of your committee that in manv Instances parties who have purchased lands UBder this act have utilised the proceeds of the sale thereof in acquiring homes, either la farm or town property. We desire, however, to dis claim any intention of making three state ments as an argument In behalf ef the timber and stone act, and simply submit the fore going as a part of the results of our opera- none. Your committee is further Justified In mak ing the statement that the greater .portion of that class of lands properly coming under tho pro virions of the timber and stone act. and eepeciaJJy as applied to the Pacific Coast States, will not become available for farming purposee. fcuch being , tho case, it would ap pear that some provision might be made for tbe disposal of such lands and the timber thereon to a better advantage by either an amendment df the act so as to increase tho price per acre or its repeal and the passage of another law providing for the disposal of the timber at its unarket value. It must be borne in mind, however, that legislation on tbe llnea last suggested would accrue to the benefit only of persons or corporaUeas of large means. While your committee is not called upon to make any recommendations, it would appear to De proper to state that, in its Judgment. it the timber and stone act were amended eo as to increase the price per acre to $5. such a provision would be no Injustice to the public and would give a fair return to the Government for lands of that class. How Should Land Be Sold? It Is to be noted that the Public Lands Commission did not entirely indorse the findings of this special committee. Tho commission did not look with favor upon a proposition to double the price of tim ber lands, as the committee suggested. and no such scheme will be adopted by Congress. It is admitted that the present price of z.to an acre is unfair; It Is too low. In some instances the Government is selling for this nominal price lands that are worth to the purchaser anywhere from J50 to 41OOO an acre; sometim.es more. In other Instances the present price Is approximately all the timber land Is worth. This fact has been established and is recognized by the commission and by Congress: It is impracticable to adopt a nxed price tor uovernment timber land. The best lands of Oreson, of Washing ton, or of Northern Idaho, are worth 10, 20 or 30 times as much as the timber lands of Colorado and Wyoming. It is mani festly unfair that the very best timber lands In the united States should be sold for the same price as the unattractive. almost worthless timber lands of some of the Rocky Mountain States. That would never be the rule if the timber lands were wned by a big corporation: sales would be based on the value of th6 timber, and. If the timber and stone act is repealed. Congress will In all probabil ity pass some substitute law based on this business principle. A fiat price of $5 an acre would be almost as objectionable as the present price of $2.50. It- would come nearer the real value of most of the public timber land, but it would be unjust. the same as the prevailing price. Will Seek Repeal of Law. Tho efforts of the Administration will be bent in the direction of securing the out- t right 'repeal of the timber and stone act. The big British steamship Kelvlnbank. under charter to load wheat or flour at this port for Japan, arrived up yesterday morning and dropped anchor in the stream opposite the Eastern & Western mills. The Kelvlnbank is the first of the big wheat tramps to arrive in Portland. Her coming marks the beginning of one of the heaviest movements of wheat and flour to the Orient that Portland has ever seen. Hardly a day will pass from now on through the months of October and No vember but what one or more of these mammoth carriers will be receiving wheat or flour from some dock in the harbor for the Orient. Tho Kelvlnbank. however, will not be the first steamer to 16ad wheat, for the regular Oriental liner. Numantia. has been waiting at this port for tho new wheat for over two weeks, and will com plete her cargo at the California & Ore gon dock today, sailing for tho Orient some time tomorrow.

According- to United States Consul- General Guenther, at Frankfort, alu minum paper Is now manufactured In Germany and recommended as a substi tute for tinfoil. It Is not the so-called leaf aluminum, but real paper coated with powdered aluminum, and Is said to possess very favorable qualities for preserving articles of food, for which It Is used as a covering. Chemical analy sis has proved that aluminum paper contains but few foreign substances. Occasionally it may contain up to 2 per cent of Iron, but never any arsenic or other poisonous metals. Hence It ap pears that the powdered aluminum used for the manufacture of aluminum paper Is relatively pure. The paper is a sort of artificial parchment, obtained through the action of sulphuric acid upon the ordinary paper. The sheets are spread out and bovered upon one side with a thin coating of a solution of resin in alcohol or ether. Evapora tion is precipitated through a current of air and the paper Is then warmed until the resin has again become soft. Then powdered aluminum is sprinkled upon It and the paper subjected to strong pressure to fasten the powder thereon. The metallic covering so ob tained Is neither affected by the air nor by fatty substances. Aluminum paper Is much cheaper than tinfoil, and will, so It is thought here, become a strong competitor thereof. The armies or continental countries aro the first branch of the service. The cost of tho French army Is $135,000,000 per annum. Germany can. put Into the ne,jcl a vast, well equipped army for $100,000,000 a year. The British army, another tremendous machine, costs $200,000,000 a year. Including India, England Is paying $263,000,000 a year.
