BAND GIVES FIXE CONCERT.
Ellcry's Organization Heard to Ad
vantage -at Auditorium.
EHery's Band drew a full house at tho
Exposition Auditorium last night. The
outdoor concerts of this organization
have already attracted unu?ual attention,
and few of the music-lovers of Portland
missed the opportunity afforded la ft night
to hoar the band under conditions more
in harmony with its artistic standing.
The programme prepared for last night
gave a prominence to the- artistic side of
the band that is alraort Impossible out
doors. Much of Ferullo's personal mag
netism is lost under open-air conditions,
a loss the Importance of which cannot be
appreciated until the influence of the
fiery Neapolitan Is felt within four walls
and a roof.
The ultra-dramatic numbers on the pro
gramme wore Mascagnl'f stupendous,
"Hymn to the Sun." and Batiste's cele
brated "Organ Offertory." both proving
as effective as "Carmon" In delighting
the audience. The reed section of the
band was hoard to advantage in the deli
cate prelude to Porost's "RosurrectkHt of
Lazarus," a number which received its
first rendition in Portland.
Clatsop Flout for Portland Day.
ASTORIA, Or.. Sopt. 24. (Special.) A
call was issued last evening by Mayor
Surprenant. President Welch, of the
Chamber of Commerce, and County Judge
Trenchard, for a mass meeting to be heM
at the Courthouse tomorrow evening; to
arrange for a float representing the man
ufacturing interests of the county, to be
placed In the parade at the Lewis and
Clark Fair on Portland day, Septomber
30.
Beatrice Wilson's Hecltnl.
Beatrice Evelyn Wilson, who will give a
piano recital this afternoon in the Audi,
torium at the Lewis and Clark Exposition
at 2:30 o'clock In the afternoon, is but 8
years of age. The wonderful interpreta
tion of the many pieces memorized by her
and her exceptionally fine technique have
attracted flattering comments wherever
she has appeared. In her recital Mioa
Wilson will be afnietod by Mary Adelc
Case and S. H. Allen-Goodwyn.
Pajaro Celebration Today.
Pajaro Valley will celebrate in the
California Building at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition today. It has a splen
did exhibit in its booth in the California
Building, from which will be distributed
large quantities of fruit. The Pajaro Val
ley has the largest acreage in bearing ap
ple orchards of any district West of Mis

Property-Owners Will Ask Council
to Restore East. Ankcny and Ash.
"We are going to reopen Bast An
kony and East Ash streets to the rivor,"
declared J. H. Baylor, ownor of the Os
burn Hotel, yesterday. "We have con
sulted competent logal authority and
wo know that we can compel tho city
to restore to the public those two
streets, which the Council undertook
to give away to W. M. Ladd two years
ago."
A combination of property-owners on
and adjacent to East Ankeny and Ash
streets for a considerable distance east
of I nlon avenue has been formod to
force the Council to reopen those
streets, now occupied by the Standard
Box Factory plant. There arc no

fund, bearing 6 per cent. The ten rooms will be heated by hot air driven
through the building by an electric fan Betides the ten rooms in. the main
building, there are two extra classrooms on the grounds, which may be used In
emergency. At the close of last year the enrollment was over 400 pupils. The
sohool population at the recent census was 800 pupils. Since then there has
been a large increase, so that the prlnolpal and beard of directors are unable to

are occupied as part of the lumber-yard
of the sawmill. They were once fully
Improved through to the wharf line by
derated roadways. Mr. Baylor relies
on the fact that tho charter declares
the city shall maintain the street after
It is once improved. He says the own

that they could not permanently ap
propriate the streets, and were careful
to place their permanent buildings off
the street the Council trJed to vacate.

Neither showers nor mud could keop
tho visitors away from the stockyards
at the Exposition yesterday, and MM
persons watched the horse parade,
while at the same time the cattle
yards were filled with onthuslastlc
men and womon who pattod the gentle
animals and wondered at their beauty
and development.
Oregon aurely has reason to be proud
of Its stock, for in every branch of
the Industry, with the exception of the
horses, the growers of the state load J
all competitors. From no other state I
have such sheep, such hogs or such
cattle been exhibited, and the men who
have brought their stock to the Expo-
sltion have willingly given the palm to
the local men and conceded to them
the victory.
Oregon Sheep Unrivaled.
One man from British Columbia
brought a small band of Lincolnshire
sheep with wool nearly a foot long, to
show the people wrhat kind of animals
bis country produced. Across from the
space allotted him he saw another band
of the same kind, raised and exhibited
by an Oregon man. Tho visitor exam
ined the competing flock and gave up
hopes of bearing back to his home the
trophy to be given. Tt is useless for
men from British Columbia, or from
any place, to try to beat those," he said,
indicating the rival band; "no one can
do It, for I know what my sheep are
and how they compare with those
grown in other places."
Eastern hogs and Eastern cattle have
taken second plnce In the. competition
with the Oregon product, and one man
from Missouri has been shown. Last
week he paid 5500 for a 3-year-old
shorthorn bull that was bred and born
on the hills of Heppner, and will take
the animal back to Improve his herds.
Blooded Horses From East.
Oregon fails In horses alone, but that
fact is argued away by the loyal stock
men -of the state. The time has not
come, they say, when the Oregon farm
er will not go forth to plow unless
European blood runs in the veins of
his team. Oregon horses are good, but
hey are not blooded, as a rule. There
are many horses In the state as fine as
can be found, but the great majorlty
have In them the sturdy stock of the
Eastern Oregon ranges, rathex than the
patrician pedigrees of the East. - They
aro good horsos, roady and willing and
capable, but of plebeian origin.
The present stock 3how, with the
large exhibit of . blooded coach and
draught hbrccs brought here from the
East, has alreadv aroused In the mind
of every farmer who has seen the show
a desire to raise the standard of his
stables. The show, then, will bear
fruit, and a few years from now It will
be a harder and more difficult task for
Eastern men to bear away the prizes
in that line, even as It now is in all
others.
Thousands Watch Parade.
Yesterday afternoon a steady stream
of visitors thronged through the stock
yards and examined the exhibits. The
buildings, the Trail and all the other
attractions of the Exposition took sec
ond plaei. The grizzled farmer and
the city clerk with his lady love min
gled side by side to pass opinions, ex
pert and otherwise, upon the good and
bad points of the cattle, horses, swine
and sheep.
At 3 o'clock the seats around tho
sawdust ring were filled with people
waiting to see tho parade, and when
the horsos were led into the arena and
put through their paces they were
greotcd with cheers and applause. As
each spirited animal, with his perspir
ing" groom, raced In front of the bar
riers, he received an ovation. The fact
that the most of the steeds came from
the East and Middle West made no.
difference with the Oregon audienco.
which praised tho glossy coats and
graceful lines without stint or preju
dice. The stock at the present time Is
the attraction of the Exposition.
N.
LODGING-HOUSES RAIDED
Early Morning. Arrests In Stark
Street Places.
Orders presumably from tho Mayor
caused a raid on two lodging-houses In
tho central part of the city early yes
terday morning. Eighteen men and
women were taken to police headquarters-
and locked up on various charges
of misdemeanor. The raids are said to
have followed complaints from womon
In the city who made allegations that
their spouses were In the habit of not
returning home at rospoctable hours In
tho morning. The Acting Chief of Po
lice, adhering to a rule which he has
adopted, probably coming from higher
authority, refused to make any state
ment as to the cause of the raids.
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning a
squad of patrolmen under Sorgennt
Taylor, of the second night relief,
roused occupants of rooms In the Ta-
coma lodging-house, at 2SSVi Stark
street, and compelled them to march to
headquarters. The raid resulted in 12
arrests.
An hour later the Capital lodging
houFc. at 2114 Slark street, was en
tered, and six occupants of roomt wero
compelled to dross and march to the
station. The patrolmen under Sergeant
Taylor who made the raids were Fos
ter. Hcllyer. Kay and Jones.
From a police standpoint, the raid
was not so successful as had been ex
pected. Plain-clothes men-under orders
have beon Avatching down-town lodg-ing-housos
for ten nights, and at head
quarters it was expected that, it being
Sunday morning, many more would bo
captured than was the case. Whether
the raids will continue Is not given out
by the Acting Chief of Police, but from
patrolmen In various parts of the city
It Is learned that a crusade has been
started by which It is expoctcd the clty
will be freed from undesirable char
acters. Those arrested last night as a result
of the two raids are: Pearl Walters,
Glen Brown, Ray Powers, Lucy St.
Clair. W. E. Eaton. Nina Van Allen. R.
Roberts, Dolly Vernon. Jennie Bell.
Jack Hunt. Estella Smith. Earl Alphin.
Katy Burke. R. Robinson, Louise. Maize.
Guy Matlock. Elsie Davis and Rose

TRY QHEGON'SFRUIT
Best Products of State's Or
chards to Be Given Away
ON AGRICULTURAL DAYS
Five Carloads to Be Distributed
Xcxt Thursday and Friday
Among Visitors to the '
Exposition.
Oregon fruit will be distributed in
quantity at the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition next Thursday and Friday. which
have been officially set aside as Agri
cultural days. Many novel features are
being planned by the Agricultural Club
for the celebration, among which is the
distribution of five carloads of the fin
est fruit procurable. The best orchards
nd vineyards of Oregon are now being
scoured, and only the most excellent
fruit Is to be used. Every famous fruit
raising district in the state will con
tribute. The exhibitors and county commis
sioners in the Agricultural building
will also distribute 6000 valuable prizes
to the visitors on these days. All Ore
gon counties that have exhibits in the
Agricultural building will give away
fruit from their booths. It will be
heaped upon tables, and the visitors in
vited to help themselves. If five car
loads of these famous products prove
to be insufficient, more will be secured.
Agricultural Parade.
The feature of the first Agricultural
day will be a mammoth parade, in
which will participate all those con
nected with the Agricultural building.
It will begin at 10:30 A. M-. and will
demonstrate the evolution of agricul
ture from 1894 to the present time. The
parade will be headed by the original
and only SI Perkins Farmers' Band.
Among the characters represented will
be Captains Lewis and Clark. Sacaja
woa, Indian scouts and camp-followers.
The premium stock of the Ex
position Livestock Show will also take
part In the parade.
Tho second day's parade will be on
the night ot September 20. It will be
headed by floats decorated with flowers
and agricultural products of Oregon,
. and will contain the godesses Ceres,
ruuiuiiu hiiu r iuru, mm mvir luaius gi
honor, attendants and guards. There
will be many other decorated floats and
vehicles. In order to stimulate the dis
play, cash prizes amounting to 5100
will be awarded. For the best-decorated
vehicle 3S0 will be given. 530 for
the second best, and 520 as the third
prize.
The attendance from outside towns, as
well as Portland, promises to be very
heavy on those two days. Tho exceed
ingly low rates on the O. R. & -N. and
tho Southern Pacific, which have been
announced for Portland day, have been
extended to September 28 and 29, to
induce the attendance for the Agricul
tural days. Advices received by the
Agricultural Club Indicate that "every
county In thc-stato will be represented.
'LONG 'BOUTFAIR TIME
The Harvest Is Past and the Sum
mer Ended.
McClure's.
The harvest is past, t"he Summer Is
ended. As a result of all the good
feeding and the outdoor air we have
had for three or four months past, tho
strawberry shortcake, and cherry pies,
and green peas, and new potatoes, and
string beans, and roasting-ears, and all
such garden stuff, and the fresh eggs,
broken Into the skillet before Speckle
gets done cackling, and the cockerels
we pick off the roost Saturdny even
ings (you see, we're thinning 'em out;
no senso In keeping all of 'em over
Winter) as a result. I say, of all tiis
good eating, and the outdoor life, and
the necessity of stirring around a little
lively these days we feel pretty good.
And yet we get kind of low In our
minds, too. The harvest is past, the
Summer Is ended. It's gone, the good
playtime when we didn't have to go to
school, when the only foot-covering we
wore was a rag around one big toe or
the other; the days when we could
stay In swimming- all day long- except
mealtimes; the days of Sabbath school
picnics and excursions to the Soldiers'
Home It's gone. The green and leafy
things have heard the word, and most
of them are taking it pretty seriously.
Judging by their looks. But tho ma
ples and some more of them, particular
ly the maples, with dare-devil reckless
ness have resolved. a it were, to die
with their boots on, and flame out in
such violent and unbelievable colors
that we feel obliged to take testimony
in certain outrageous cases and file
away the exhibits In the family Bible,
where nobody will bother them. Rainy
days, you can see how played-out and
forlorn the whole world looks. But at,
fair time, when the sun shines bright,'
it looks right cheerful.

WISE WORDS
A Physician on Food.
A physician of Portland. Oregon, has
views about food. He says:
I have always believed that the duty
of the physician does not cease with
treating me sick, out mat we owe it to
humanity to teach th.em how to protect
their health, especially by hygienic and
dietetic laws.
"With such a feeling as to ml duty, I
take great pleasure In saying to the
public that In my own experience, and
also from personal observation, I have
found no food to equal Grape-Nuts, and
that I find .there is almost no limit to
the great benefit this food will bring
when used in all cases of sickness and
convalescence.
"It is my. experience that no physical
condition forbids the use of Grape-Nuts.
To persons In health there Is nothing so
nourishing and acceptable to the stom
ach, especially at breakfast, to start the
machinery of the human system on the
day's work. In cases of indigestion I
know that a complete breakfast can be
made of Grape-Nuts and cream, and I
think It Is necessary not to oyerload the
stomach at the morning meaL I also
know the great -alue of Grape-Nuts
when the stomach Is too weak to digest
other food.
"This is written after an experience
of more than 20 years treating all man
ner of chronic and acute diseases, and
the letter Is writen voluntarily on my
part without any request for It." Name

Tized, Netvous ' Mothers
MaKe Unhappy Homes Their Condition Irritates
Both Husband and Children How Thousands
of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervous
Prostration and Made Strong and Well.
A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of hysterics, is unfit to caro
for children ; it ruins a child's disposi
tion and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely nnfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that governing-
children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women actlike a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner
vous despondency. " the blues," sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some derangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying ?
Do you feel something like a ball ris
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke yon ; al the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound ;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy ?
If so. your nerves arc in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in

MOVEMENT TO OUST ST. JOHNS
CITY GOVERNMENT LAGS.
Some Humors of the East Side SIttia-
tlon Councilman Lcggett as
Assistant Mayor.
Whether from timidity, failure to find
grounds or for some other 'reason, the
movement among some of the business
men to oust the St. Johns Council and
city government has come to nothing.
One meeting was held the first of last
week, and a committee appointed which
was to report at another meeting Sat
urday evening, to be hold in Beckner's
Hall, but the hall was not even opened.
The Board of Trade was to take a "shot
at the situation" Wednesday night, but
only Secretary W. L. Thorndyke and
four members were present.
It appears that the business men do
not want to be mixed up too much in this
movement, as the two factions In the
Council represent the whole population of
St. John3. Councllmen Leggett. Brice.
Shields and Edwards stand for the anti
saloon and church element, while Mayor
King and Councllmen Peterson. Thomp
son and Linquest are supposed to favor
saloon licenses, although they say they
do not. Perhaps the real reason that
the movement to oust the whole city
government hesitates Is because the in
vestigating committee was not able to
find grounds on which to base such
action, besides, as the Edwards case has
got into the courts on quo warranto pro
ceedings, there is a disposition to allow
the matter to take its course without in
terference ,
The Council has begun to do business,
and at the regular meeting Monday night
put In several hours hard work. If
there Is any legal cloud on the proceed
ings it will show Itself In the future. The
Mayor says that no business can legally
be transacted as long as Edwards sits as
a member and votes, while the opposition
say Edwards is a legal member until he
is shown to be otherwise. The lawyers
for the factions radically differ on this
question. St. Johns has not been ma
terially affected, but continues to grow
right along. Buildings are being put up
and industries are knocking for admis
sion. What the quo warranto proceed

Dear Mrs. Pinlthatn:
"For eight years I was troubled with ex

irregularities. I could neither enjoy life nor
sleep nights; I was very irritable, nervous
and despondent.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" I dragged through nine years of miserable
existence; worn out with pain and nervous
ness, until it seemed as though I should fly.
I then noticed a statement of a woman trou
bled as I was, and the wonderful results she
derived from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, I decided to try it. I did so, and
at the end of three months I was a different
woman. My nervousness was all gone. I was
no longer irritable, and my husband fall ia

member of the Council said: "The lid
will come off the pot sure when the trial
comes on, and there will be some sur
prises." Mayor Is Trapped.
In connection with the squabble In the
Council thore have beon some very amus
ing and ridiculous Incidents at the recent
meetings held. The seven members
Leggett. Thompson. Brice. Llnqulst. Ed
wards. Peterson and Shields went into
the Council as cloee personal friends, but
now the opposing factions do not hesi
tate to apply tho words "boodler3" and
"grafters" to their opponents.. At ai re
cent meeting Councilman Snieids 1th
nounced that it was "very painful to be
compelled to sit in the same room with
such a character as his dear friend Coun
cilman Peterson," whereupon the latter
replied that it "gave him an inward pain
to be so close to a man of Councilman
Shields' standing." But perhaps the most
humorous situation that has occurred
during the sitting of the opposing factions
was the trap that W. R. McGarry. at
torney for. Councilman Edwards, fixed up
to compel Mayor King to recognize Ed
wards as a member. The astute counsel
or sat behind Edwards roady to prompt
him at the right time to spring the trap.
Immediately following the calling of the
roll a lot of petitions for street improve
ments were read. Attorney McGarry
punched Edwards and at once the latter
arose and moved that the petitions be
referred to the proper committee. Mayor
King saw he was in for it. and hesitated.
Finally he said: "Gentlemen, this places
me In a very critical condition."
Councilman Leggett. president of the
Council, who always stands ready to as
sume the functions of Mayor, when Mayor
King shows any disposition to balk, de
mands that tho motion be put. and the
Mayor has to oboy the order, for he
knows that "Assistant Mayor" Leggett
would do it for him. The very best of the
fun occurred when night after night the
Council met to hear the lawyers roar and
quote law from the time of Qqeen Ann
down through the ages, as If the Coun
cllmen were members of the Supreme
Court Instead of ordinary citizens who
could not understand a word of the argu
ments flung at them from the learned
attorneys. The assumption of the powers
of Mayor of St. Johns at times bjr Coun
cilman Leggett by virtue of his being
president of the Council, is something
new in municipal government, and Is
suspected to be a clear case of bulldozing
on the part of the resourceful leader of
the anti-saloon element. Councilman Leg
