Lewte and Clark Livestock Exhibition
praacad around the arena yesterday until
Heavy rain made It necessary to take the
animals to shelter, Dotpite the gloomy,
threatening weather, fully 3000 persons
were on hand by 1:30 P. M. to sec the
parade of premium horses. The cattle
parade of the forenoon drew about 1000.
Curried and polished to the brightness
of mahogany and effectively berlbboned.
Ue prize-winning horses were filed around
tle -arena. The scene was one as Inspiring
a? Rosa Bonheur's "Stock Fair." It would
be hard to gather from the four quarters
of the globe a finer lot of horses than
those champions, grand champions and
premium animals But scarcoly was the
parade on than the elements took a hand
and spoiled it all.
The cattle parade of the forenoon was
not hampered by rainfall, although clouds
kf the crowds away to a large extent.
The Hue was made up of Shorthorns.
Herrfordn Polled Angus, Devons, Rod
Potted. Heteleins. Jerseys. Ayrshlros and
Brown Swiw. The arena wa nearly filled
with animals and had the appearance of
a groat shipping pon. Sheep, goats and
awtne were exhibited in their stalls and
pens.
Prize-Winners Wear Ilibbons.
The exhibitors have, rfnee Saturday,
placed the premium ribbon-ctvor each an
imal, to that visitors now have no diffi
culty in distinguishing the prize-winners.
Strict Hinltary methods are used In every
stable, and no unpleasant features of any
ort are to be met with.
Gt-neral natlsfactlon with the making of
awards is noted, very few differences with
the judges having been voiced. Thus far
no formal pro t out h have boon filed. Stock
men generally are satisfied with the
treatment accorded them, and much
pralee i heard for M. D. Wisdom, who
organized and directed the exhibition, and
who has boon an Indefatigable worker
for the success that has been achieved.
"I am so woll ploascd with the way
Portland has treated me that I am coming
back here next year for your State Fair
If you have one." said A. Donaldson, man
ager of a big Wyoming stock farm. "Ore
gon people have carried away a good
many more awards than they were ex
pected to do. but they deserve all they
Xt. and the rest of us have no kick com
ing. All the boys arc Just as well satis
fied, too. as I am. I never was at a fair
before where the people turned out "so
well and showed so much enthusiasm as
here in Portland."

COMMERCIAL CLUB IS ACTIVE
Doing All Within Its Power to Aid
Portland Day.
Members of the Portland Commercial
Club arc doing all In their power to in
crease interest among business men in
the observance of Portland day at the
Lewis and Clark Fair. Yesterday the
matter was taken up at the monthly meet
ing of the Board of Governors, and it was
decided to extend the closing movement
which has been inaugurated among local
firms to business houses throughout the
entire Northwest, aa far as Is possible.
After thoroughly discussing the situation,
the board adopted the following resolu
tions: Whereas, The magnitude of the great Ex
positions given throughout the United States
is Judged largely by their maximum at
tendance upon a given day: and,
Wherea. It Is important not only to Port
land and Oregon, but the entire Northwest,
to n-akt- a record that will live to the ad
vantage of this utctJon of the United States;
tbt refer e, be It
It-solved. yThat the .board of governors of
the Ioitiand Commercial Club urge the co
operation of tht. people of Portland. Oregon,
Yashlngion and the entire Northwest in at
tending the Lewis and Clark Centennial Ex
position on Saturday, September 30, which
In known upon the calendar as "Portland
Day ', and. b- it further
Resolved, That the business houses, banks,
factories, railroads, clubs and all other in
terest be urged to close their places of
business and release their employes to help
swell the number of admissions and do their
part toward reaching an attendance of
100.000.
At the same meeting a communication
was received from the management of
the Lewlston and Clarkston Fair, which
is to" be held at Lewjston, naming Friday,
October 20. as Pojtfand day at that place,
and inviting the people of this city to at
tend. The invitation was accepted by
.the board on the part of the Commercial
Club, and an attempt will be made to send
a large delegation to Lewiston on . that
occasion. It is felt that the people of that
vicinity have done much to help the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, which should be
reciprocated by the people of this city.
Reduced rates will be available on the
railroads, and a special train will probably
be run.
The board accepted the names of seven
candidates for membership In the club,
which makes a total of 55 members re
ceived during the last two months. This
Is the most rapid growth in the history
of the club at this time of the year.
PORTLAND HOTEL IS IX IilXE
.Manager Bowers Will Give All His
Employes Free Tickets.
Manager H. C. Bowers, of the Portland
Hotel, has bought 250 tickets for Portland
Day at the Fair, and will send every
employe of the big hotel to the Dream
City on the big day. Not only will ad
mission to the grounds be supplied the em
ployes, but car fares to and from the
grounds will be Included and each one
will be requested to attend during the
)day in order that the total may be swelled.
Perhaps no establishment in the city
has such need for the .continuous services
of its help during working hours as a
great hotel and the action of the Portland
necessarily entails considerable sacrifice.
In order to keep the house running with
out Inconvenience to guests It has been
arranged for the employes to attend the
fair on Sept. 30 in shifts, thus giving all
an opportunity to go and help realize the
100,000 on Portland Day.
Mayor Calls Committees.
Late yesterday afternoon Mayor Lane
called a meotlng for 2 P. "M. today of the
Portland day committee, made up of ten
members each from the Board of Trade,

in the rooms of the Commorclal Club.
Commuters Can Help,
PORTLAND. Sept. 26. (To the Edi
tor.) Anent Portland duy at the Fair
and swelling admissions to 100.000.
there are, as I understand it, over 2000
commuters persona holding1 season
tickets. They represent, paid admls
slons and will not be usod up by Octo
ber 15. the closing Jay. At the Chi
cago Fair these commutors passed
through the turnstiles many times on
Chicago day. Why not do the same tiling
here on Portland day? Speaking for my
solf. I have nearly TO tickets left in ray
book, and I presume there arc many oth

Democrats Have Cudgels Out
Both for Mayor Lane and

THREATEN THEIR1 UNDOING
It May Belfficult for the Sheriff

Blood on the moon can be seen in the
Democratic camp, for the unterrlfied
are having a cat-and-dog time fit it
squabbling over jobs which Demooratlc
Sheriff Word and Democratic Mayor
Lane have parceled out to Republicans.
A loud wail is going up from the
unfed, whose lives' have been bitter with
hard bondage, and whose hopes were
raised to a high pitch by the election
of Word and Lane. And their .counte
nance is not toward Lane and Word
as before.
Thus the unterrlfied already are
quarreling over the offices, and it may
be nocessary for them to have a peace
conference, to match that of the Re
publicans. Aeplred to Cabinet Scats. -There
are Democrats in plenty who
aspired to seats in Lane's cabinet, but
who cannot get seats there because
the places were too few to" go around.
Yet did the Mayor not find places for

WASHINGTON'S GOVERNOR ISSUES PORTLAND
DAY PROCLAMATION
OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 23. (Special.) Governor Mead Issued the
following proclamation today: .
"A proclamation by the Governor: To all to whom these presents
come, 'greeting:
"Whereas, The Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition has des
ignated Saturday, September 30, 1905. as Portland day;
"Whereas, To the citizens of the City of Portland Is due much of
the credit for the promotion and successful accomplishment of that
Exposition, which has materially benefited and advanced the Inter
ests of the State of Washington, as well as her sister state, Oregon,
in bringing the products, opportunities and advantages of these states
to the attention of the world;
"Now, therefore, I, Albert E. Mead, Governor of the State of
Washington, by virtue of the authority In me vested, do commend to
the people of Washington that on Saturday, September 30, 1905. they
attend In great number the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition,
at Portland, to mark our appreciation of the beneficent results en
joyed by this state by reason of the creation and maintenance of
said Exposition, and of the laudable and praiseworthy efforts of those
directing its affairs.
"By the Governor:
"In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the state to be affixed this 2Sth day of September, iv. D. 1905.
"S. H. NICHOLS, Secretary of
John Lamont, H. B. Nicholas, Newton
McCoy, W. H. Grindstaff. Thomas
O'Day and S- C Armltago, not to speak
of General Kllfeather, Pat Powers, Jim
Foley and "Citizen" Parker, prancing
the streets unfed and unhonorod?
Yea. verily; and the gentlemen are
saying harsh things. In their imag
ination's eye they see a handwriting- on
the wall prophosylng consequences dire
In the next primary, when Lane shall
be levelod to tho size of evory suppliant
for nominations.
Want Rules Stretched.
True, the Mayor has had civil service
rulos against him. when the hungry
have petitioned him for Jobs, but the
brethren complain that he could have
found a way to stretch those rulos If
he wore a rock-rlbbod Democrat. Even
Pat Powers, warhorse of so many ages
that there is no record of hl6 begin
ning, finds the gates barred against
him when he rcltlly ncods a Job.
"But," says Pat stanchly. 'Til vote
the Democratic ticket as long as I
live."
That's what a lot of Democrats are
saying- In chorus with iPat, but they
have vowed that while they live they'll
vote for a man who deals out the
loaves and fishes.
Even Alex Sweek, chairman of all
the hosts in Oregon, finds the paths
to the Mayor's heart closed against too
intimate approach. Not long ago Alex
was taken to task by one of the broth
ron for allowing Lane to be nominatod,
and this is what Alex said:
"Well, how could we help it?"
Poser for the Inquirer.
This was a poser for the inquiror,
since Alex had fought tooth and nail
against the nomination of G. H. Thomas
and for that of Lane, so the chairman
explained:
"You see, last Spring we couldn't
find anybody else to make the run.
LYLE, POINT OF CONTENTION BETWEEN RIVAL RAILWAY CORPORATIONS
Lyle. where the Columbia River &. Northern Railroad winds Its way op along the White Salmon In the course of, the '
railroad track to Goldendale. Is one of tho strategic points that engineers and. laborers employed by the Portland & Seattle
Railroad have early taken possession of to the exclusion of rival lines. Persdns familiar with the topography of the Colum
bia River a! that point will remember that towering cliffs skirt the river Just fcbove the terminal of the C R. & N. road.
Expensive rock, work must be done to cut out & roadbed and possibly a tunnel will be driven through a portion of the
cliff as the most practicable method of pasting the obstruction. Should the rival Harrlraan corporations acquire, right of way
h$ this point also there will be some dlfflculty In making the roadway for two lines without using the same grade for a
double track or passing on a single-track line. The accompanying view gives an Idea of the difficulties that beset the rail
road builders at Lyle.
Everybody was shy. We Just had to
take up with Lane," meaning that oth
erwise Thomas would have been nom
inated, to the great discomfiture -of the
Sweek camp, which hajl been harassed
many times by the Thomas bush
whackers. It has come out of the Mayor's cabinet
that two dissatisfied Democrats would
pull out for slight provocation. John Mon
tag and L. T. Pecry. constituting the
fire committee. A month ago tho perspir
ation under their collars approached the
boiling" point, -for the Mayor had given
them a turn-down, which offended their
dignity mightily, and which ttlmost
prompted them to say to His Honor,
"Take your Jobs and go."
Fall Out, With Some.
It was all about the position of City
Electrician, vacated by George Walker.
Montag and Peery. thinking themselves
qualified to choose the appointee, picked
out for the job Charles Savarlan. - the man
who ran the fire bell under Mayor Pen
noyer, a Democrat forsooth, dyed In the
wooL
But His Honor had another man for the
job. George Stillwell, to fame unknown,
before His Honor picked him out of ob
scurity's heap. Indeed, he was so little
known that his brethren had to be told he
was a Democrat. Montag and Peery told
the Mayor that Savarlan would be the
appointee, but the Mayor said nay, and
sounded the name of Stillwell, a gentle
man ,wbo lives near to the Mayor's resi
dence. Whereat the fat was In the fry. and
Montag declared he cared not whether he
stayed on the Executive Board or not.
and Peery delivered himself of sentiments
of the same meaning.
Fight Against Word.
Sheriff Word has so many Republican
deputies that Democrats grow sick at the
beholding of them. The appointment of
the Republicans is said to be a violation
of a polemn pact entered Into by Mr.
Word, John Van Zante, chairman of the
Democratic County Central Committee:
John B. Ryan, secretary of the Democrat
ic State Central Committee, and L. T.
Peery. Just after Word's election.
It was agreed at that time, so the story
goes, that G. P. Morden. Republican, was
to be Word's chief deputy, but that no
more Republicans were to get scats at
the pie-counter. As things have turned
outf Republicans arc fattening their ribs
off the office as much as are Democrats.
A1K this has given rts? to a revolt
against the Word and Lane regimes.
Lane's term will not expire for nearly
two years yet. but the nomination of
Word's successor Is only seven months
off; consequently, the braves are putting

on their war paint and preparing to leave
the reservation.
That Word will have a tremendous force
against him In the Democratic primaries
Is manifest. John Montag Is boomed to
lead the host; also C. B. t'l!llams. prcsf
dent of the Multnomah Democratic Club,
Both are outspoken In their opposition to
the policy of appointing Republicans to
Democratic offices.
Want Republicans Ousted.
The faithful contend that when the
people turn over officesto Democrats. Re
publicans should not "hold those offices,
but Democrats. The faithful do not be
labor Word nor Lane for carrying out
"reform." but declare that they should
do It as full-fledged Democrats and not
as semi or "renegade" Democrats. They
say that the only way to build up a -party
out of the weak Democratic organization
In Oregon 1? to put Democrats In the
offices. Instead of dividing the offices with
Republicans.
"Republicans don't give Democrats any
offices." say they. "Why should Demo
crats give any to Republicans?" and then
they ask If County Judge Webster or
County Clerk Fields or City Auditor Dev
lin or Secretary of State Dunbar, all Re
publicans, are in the habit of giving Jobs
to Democrats.
The Democratic brethren point out that
when the people elect Democrats to en
force the laws, and those Democrats call
In Republicans, the Democrats are con
fessing that they cannot satisfy the peo
ple without the aid of Republicans an
abomination In the sight of a true Dem
ocrat, which he considers the best kind
of campaign thunder for his Republican

FEWGHANGES IDE
Pastorates in Portland Suffer
Three -Modifications .
IN METHODIST CONFERENCE
Districts Are Reformed So That West
Portland Secures Churches on
East Side North of
Burnslde Street.
METHODIST EriSCOPAI. PORT
LANDCIIANGES. By reforming district. West Port
land secures all churches north of
Burnslde street. They are Central.
Patton, Woodlawn, University Park
and St. 'Johns. These are all taken
from the Eibt Portland district.
Only three changes were made. In
Portland pulpits. Rev. S. E. Mfem
Inger went from" Mount Tabor to Cot
tage Grove; Rev. James Moore, from
Dallas, succeeds him; Rev. F. I.
Young went from Central Churcb to
SL Johns, being succeeded by Rev.
J. T. Abbott, of Ashland: Rev. M. T.
Wire. Jr.. succeeds Rev. Asa Sleeth at
Patton Church, the latter taking a
supernumerary relation.
Dr. B. F. Rowland, formerly In
charge at Eugene,. relieves Dr. L E.
Rockwell as presiding cider of East
Portland district, while Dr. Rockwell
takes charge at Eugene.
Bishop William Fraser McDowell Is
the youngest member of the episcopacy
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, but
he Is credited by the large majority of
the clergy and laity of the Oregon
Conference with giving a better admin
istration during the sessions at Al
bany last week than has been known In
the history of the Northwest.
Apparently, Bishop McDowell paid no
heed to what others before him had
done, or what any clique or faction. If
any there was, desired at his hands.
He seized the problems that were pre
sented and acted, assuming- the respon
sibility for some changes In the affairs
of the denomination In Oregon that are
Important.
Denis With Problems.
Last Saturday Bishop McDowell
turned over the business session of the
conforencu to Bishop Walden, who
chanced to be present, and boldly laid
hold of some of the most delicate prob
lems that ever confronted a presiding
officer in this territory. (
Notwithstanding the fact that but
one year before Bishop Henry Spell
m'eyer altered the boundaries of the
conference, cutting out one district.
Bishop McDowell took a hand in the
game and reformed the lines, creating
a fourth district.' He did not make
Portland all In one district, but he
made some other changes, with a view.
it Is learned, to equalizing the salary of
presiding elders, which before . were
far from equal.
"Bishop McDowell picked up Dr. L.
E. Rockwell, who was presiding- elder
of East Portland district, and placed
him In charge of the church at Eu
gene; took D. B. F. Rowland, of Eu
gene church, and made him Dr. Rock
well's successor. Dr. Rockwell had
another year to serve, but Bishop Me
Dowell had Information. It is said.
which led him to the conviction that
thore must be an immediate change.
Few Changes in Pastorates.
Bishop McDowell did not make many
changes In the pastorates, as he found
but little need of this. There was but
throe changes In Portland pulpits, al
though a Sensational report gained
some currency that the whole city
ministry would be changed.
While many had hoped Bishop Mc
Dowell would see his way clear to
making one great district of the city, and
Immediate vicinity. It Is said that general
satisfaction exists over the new lines of
the conference, which were but slightly
altered as far as East and West Port
land districts are concerned. The
most Important change was that which
gives West Portland district tfve city
churches off East Portland district.
In the Willamette River Valley.
Brownsville. Halsey, Harrlsburg- and
Shedd were taken from East Portland
district and placed In the Eugene dis
trict. Added to East Portland are Cor
vallls, Siletz, Toledo and Lincoln.

"Father of Oregon" Day.
Pioneers of Oregon, and the public In
general, are requested to remember that
the Lewis and Clark management, upon
the expressed desire of the Oregon Hlstor
leal Society, some weeks ago. set apart
Friday, October 6. as Dr. John McLough
lln day. The great service rendered by
Dr. McLoughUn to the -American pioneers
prior to 154a, as testified to by these pio
neers, will be fittingly brought out by
Fred V. Holman, of this city, whose uncle
and father and mother were pioneers of
1S43 and 1S46, and who, with scores of
others, were personally cognizant of the
kindness of Dr. McLoughlln under all cir
cumstances. This fact, coupled with the
additional fact that he began almost
every line of domestic Industry in tho
Oregon Country, besides extending tho
hand of earnest, greeting to all early set
tlers, without distinction of nationality
or religious creed, entitles him. to the
distinction of being called the true "Es
ther of Oregon." The exercises will be
held on the day named, at 2 o'clock, in
the Auditorium.

LEGAL BIGHT
Captain Fined for Racing Dis
putes Jurisdiction.
FILES NOTICE- OF APPEAL
3Iinor Offenders Come Before Judge
Cameron, of the Municipal
"Court, and Their Cases
I Are Heard.
The right of the "city to- regulate the
speed of river steamboats will be tested
by an appeal from the Municipal Court
yesterday. Captain Sherman, of the
Bailey Gatzert, was fined $25 yesterday,
and his attorney, J. Couch Flanders,
Immediately gave notice of appeal, on
the ground that the City of Portland
had no jurisdiction over river traffic.,
and that steamboat captains were an
swerable only to the War Department
of the United States.
Last Thursday Captains Sherman and
Baughman, of the steamers Gatzert and
Telephone, were arrested by Harbor-'
master Ben BIglln for violating the.
speed ordinance which requires ves
sels plying- on the river not to exceed
eight miles an hour. Captain Baugh
man. of the Telephone, was tried and
convicted last Friday and was as
sessed $25 by Judge Cameron. The
case against Captain Sherman was set
for yesterday and after the testimony
was heard from both sides Judge Cam
eron came to tire same conclusion aa
In the previous case and fined Sherman
$25.
H. Langer, first officer of the steam
ship Arabia, testified that on Thurs
day last the steaneys Telephone and
Bailey Gutzert passed the Portland
Flouring- Mills, where his vessel was
mfored while loading- a cargo, and that
thoy were traveling at such a high rate
of speed that the swell sent shoreward
by the steambouts caused the Arabia to
break from her mooring and drift down
stream. J. J. Murray, foreman of the
longshore crew that was loading tho
Arabia testified that In his opinion the
boats were evidently racing and that
they were traveling at about 12 miles
an hour.
J. J. Nelll, manager of the Port
land Flouring Mills Company, testified
that the swells sent out by the steam
ers bent one of the piles under the
flouring mills dock and loosened sev
eral planks in the floor.
Captain Sherman and two or three of
hl3 witnesses stated that the boats were
not racing and that they were travel
ing at their ordinary rate of speed, and
furthermore that the Gatzert was in
capable of making much more than 12
miles an hour.
Judge Cameron adjudged the defend
ant v ulty and fined him In the same
amount as in the case against Cap-'
tain Baughman. whereupon Attorney
Flanders gave notice of appeal.
Harbormaster Ben Biglln stated that
the practice of racing on the river was
not only fraught with danger to the
passenger and steamboat crews, but must
Inevitably do great damnge to the
shipping Interests of Portland, for the
Insurance agents upon learjng of the
practice, would Increase the ratos. and
In that way do the shippers an Injus
tice. In case the contention of Captain
Sherman's attorney is upheld ' by the
Superior Court, the War Department
will be Importuned to put a stop to the
practice.
The case of John Miller, a cook in the
Administration Restaurant at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, charged with
murderous assault on the person of R.
Peyton, cfme up before Judge Cameron
yesterday, and the defendant was found
guilty and fined $25. It was shown
that he had assaulted the complainant
with a heavy iron spoon with which
he struck his victim over the head in
flicting a severe scalp wound.
J. Haney desired to have the fire de
partment give a drill for his especial
benefit Sunday, and upon being re
fused, endeavored to clean out the
headquarters, but was thrown out In
the street, and as a result appeared
before Judge Cameron charged with
disorderly conduct, and was assessed?
510.
L. C Keyser. proprietor of the San
Francisco saloon, was neld to appear
before the grand jury yesterday by
Judge Cameron. Keyser -Is charged with
selling liquors to girls. Ina Abraham
and Josle Smith, not yet of age, and his
bond was fixed at $150. H. H. Northup.
attorney for Keyser, held: that the
proprietor was not liable for acts com
mitted In his place during his absence,
but the court decided otherwise.

A six-story brick business block will be

ness building, and the only Improvement

R. Ellis two lots at the southeast corner
of Twelfth and Alder streets, for $25.000..

GET POWER
The Supply Comes From Food.
DENIES
If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can. That
is only possible by use . of skilfully se
lected food that exactly fits the require
ments of the body.
Poor fuel makes a poor fire and a poor
fire Is not a good steam producer.
"From not knowing how to select the
right food to fit my needs. I suffered
grievously for a long time from stomach
troubles," writes a lady from a little
town lu Missouri.
"It seemed as if I would never be able
to find out the sort of food that was best
for me. Hardly anything that I could
eat would stay on my stomach. Every
attempt gave me Mfeart-burn -and filled
my stomach with gas. I got thinner and
thinner until I literally became a living
skeleton and in time was compelled to
keep to my bed.
"A few months ago I was persuaded to
try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effects from the very beginning that
I have kept up lt3 use ever since. I waa
surprised at the ease with which I digest
ed it. It proved to be just what I need
ed. All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heart-burn, the inflated feeling which
gave me so much pain disappeared. My
weight gradually increased front S8 to
116 lbs, my figure rounded out, my
strength came back, and I am now able
to do my housework and enjoy it. The
Grape-Nuts food did it." Name- given
by Fostum. Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich.
A ten days trial will show anyone soaae
facts about food. . ..
