and Livestock.

Tn response to a call issued by the Port
land Chamber of Commerce, a body of the
representative business men of the city
met at the rooms of that organization
yesterday - afternoon for the purpose of
discussing: plans for the promoting of an
annual exposition In tHls city.
The proposed movement is on the same
order as the former expositions of several
j cars past, with theexcoption that it Is
to be on a much larger scale and also
that a feature of the new Idea is the
holding- of a livestock exhibition In con
nection with the industrial part of the
enterprise
The meeting was called to order with
Tt R. Hoge, vice-president of the Cham
ber of Commerce, In the chair. Secre
tary Giltner read the memorandum. In
troduced by Julius L. Meier, whlclclab

the proposed fair, whioh-seemed to meet

every respect.
Embraces the Pacific Coast.
The proposition for the holding of an
annuul exposition in this city has been
.agitated for several years of late, or
ever t-lnee j.he abandonment of the for
mer shows that were local feature events
each Fall, and which finally gave place
to street fairs of recent years, and the
success of the Lewis arid Clark Exposl-
talned by stockrajs-Ing will always at
tract Immense throngs of peoples who
never fall to visit anfixhlbitIon of blood
ed stock when the opportunity affords,
which was borne out by the large crowds
in daily attendance at the stock show
held at the World's Fair. Stockraleers
all over4 the Northwest have desired such
an exhibition for many years, for it will
bring them Into competition with the
Eastern breeders who will gladly avail
themselves of an opportunity to show In
Portland, and this -will serve to create a
greater effort on the part of the breed
ers in this locality, as well as In Califor
nia, to have exhibits of livestock that will
te on a par with those of their Eastern
"competitors.
Will Aid Livestock Industry.
The livestock industry in Oregon, as
'well as in other sections of the North
west, while it flourishes to a certain ex
tent, is not as extensive as it might be.
and an annual exposition would serve to

tion has caused the business men to use
this means to encourage an annual expo
sition. The proposed exposition is to be In the
nature of a great fair, which will em
brace all the territory designated as the
V Pacific Coast, having such states as Ore
gon, Washington. Idaho, California and
Nevada from which to secure exhibits.
From this it will be readily seen that the
affair has gigantic proportions and will
necessitate a great deal of effort on the
part of the promoters.
Chicago and Kansas City are the centers
of vast enterprises of this character each
year, and It Is the intention of those, who
have this proposition to make Portland
the base of all exhibits on the Pacific
Coast, for they argue that the many ex
hibitors, both industrial and stockraising,
will take advantage of such an opportu
nity to display their wares as will be af
forded by an exposition of the kind, now
being fostared, and 'bring their entire ex
hibits here from the many little county
and state fairs that are held every year,
and the chance to attend a large show
in this district .would be gladly welcomed
by them for the opportunity It will af
ford In advertising as well as the benefits
they would acquire in other lines.
The Industrial part of the proposed ex
position will be a great boon to the busi
ness men of all the large manufacturing
points in this district, for it will not only
give them the much-desired chance to
enliven thoie interested in this branch of
Industry Into enlarging the scope of
stockraising.
On motion of J. N. Teal and seconded
by Julius L. Melon the chair appointed
a committee of seven to formulate plans
for a permanent organization, as follows:
J. L. Meier, W. M. Ladd. F. I. Fuller,
A. H. Devers, J. C. Alnsworth, R. Scott
and Paul Wcsslngcr. The secretary was

BREACH OF PROMISE SOU
MISS MAY PRESCHERN ACCUSES
GEORGE W. BEVIS.
Asks for Twenty-Five Thousand Dol
lars for His Failure to
Keep His "Word. ..
After months of waiting and patient
pleading, with her heart beating rap
turously in expectation that Tier adored
one would live up to his promise to mar
ry her, ,Miss May Preschern, a pretty
seamstress who earns hor living with her
nimble fingers, has been jilted by George
W. Bevis. a traveling man. But stilling
her love for the man of her choice, who
seems unwilling to have the nuptial knot
tied, she consents to salve her wounded
heart and cure Cupid's puncture on con
sideration that $23,000 is allowed her for
breach of promise.
Burning billets-doux are said to be in
the possession of Miss Preschern, in
which are written words and sentences
and paragraphs of undying devotion and
everlasting ardor. If through her attor
ney, Henry McGinn, who has tiled com
plaint in the Circuit Court asking for
judgment, the $23,000 asked for by Miss
"Preschern Is not forthcoming, she Is will
ing to show these epistles, written at the
inspiration of the God of Love, to the
court and to the Jury.
Not only did her adored one. "Bevis,
promise to share with her his name and
fortune, but almost named the day on
which the knot was to be tied. Many
times since August 27, 1903, at which time
Bevis told her there was an end to love,
have the heavens darkened for Miss
Preschern. Dispirited .and at a loss to
find another who can fill the place occu
pied by the dweller in the heart of Miss
Preschern, she, as her complaint says,
"remains sole and unmarried." She was
willing and at all times has been willing.
she says, to marry Bevis, but when, on
August '27, he "called the engagement
off." Nomesls routed Cupid and now the
battle for the $25,000 is on.
In her complaint, which is simple and
to the point. Miss Preschern says that on
January 1, 1901. she being sole and un
married, at the request of Bevis did prom
ise to marry him within a reasonable
length of time; that she confided In his
promise and remained single (she does not
say here whether she had another chance
or not); that she has been willing at all
times to marry him. but on August 27,
1903", ho refused to abide "byhls promise
to marry; and that although a reasonable
time has elapsed since she on August
27 asked him to marry her, as promised,
he has refused.
Whether Bevis has -$23,000 or not Is a
question. Who Is Bevis? Henry McGinn
doe not know. The city directory does
not tell. He is not a member of the Uni
ted Commercial; Travelers Association nor
of the Travelers" Protective Association.
Sheriff Word was asked If he knew, but
the Sheriff did not. The police don't know.
Which Allows Corporation to
Use Antiquated Cowcatcher
Instead of-Modern Device.
Regardless of the public safety, the Ore
gon Water Power & Railway Company
runs Its cars through Portland with fend
ers worse than useless, by means of a
city ordinance whose passage It secured
through the Legislature last year, despite
a state law enacted In 1903 for the pro
tection of the people.
The fenders are of the old-style station
ary,, or "cow-catcher." pattern, whereas
themost approved type and the safest is
that which can be dropped to the track,
thus saving unfortunate persons from, the
wheels. Some of the cars are not even
equjppt-d with the "cowcatcher." only with
a V-shaped board In front of the wheels.
Of Little Value as Safeguards.
Such fenders are of little or no safety
against a person's being crushed under
the wheels, in case he should fall'in front
of an approaching car.
This disregard of the life of the public
was permitted by the last City Council In
a special ordinance which exempted the
Oregon Water Power & Railway Company
from the fender law, applying to jother car
lines. The reasons assigned was that
the Oregon Water Power Company oper
ated its cars more as a railroad than as a
street-car company. But the fact Is that
the company's Mount Tabor and Mount
Scott and Sell wood cars run as any other
street-cars in the city, yet they have the
unsafe fender.
What the Law Says.
By clever persuasion in the City Coun
cil, the company managed to secure ex
emption from the fender law of the state.
That law provides that every street-car In
Oregon "other than operated by horses.
shall be provided with good and substan
tlal aprons, fenders or guards, which shall
be constructed so as to be attached to
the fren. end of each car and extend out
In front of the front platform or front
end of such car. not less than two feet, and
so arranged that the forward end of such
apron, fender or guard shall be not more
than three Inches above the rails . . .
and shall be so constructed that the foo
torman can drop the front end ... . on
the track so as to prevent any person from
being thrown down and run over by or
caught beneath or under such car," pro
vided that the Council and Mayor of any
city may substitute any other type of
fender "whenever it shall be deemed for
the best interests of the residents and
inhabitants."
In conformity with this law, the Council
and the Mayor of Portland adopted the
kind of fender carried by the cars of the
Portland Railway Company. But the
Council and the Mayor made an exception
for the sole benefit of the Oregon Water
Power Company, In February. 1901. by
passing an ordinance to that effect Owing
to the special privilege it confora on the
one street-car company, it is held to bo
illegal, but no effort has yet been made
to put it to the test in the courts.
PLEADS HIS OWN CASE
E. F. Glblln, Grocer, Remarks on
Boys Denies Selling Tobacco.
"A good boy is the noblest thing in ex
istence but bad boys should be placcdJ
In barrels and fed through a bunghole, or
something else done with them until they
arrive at the age of discretion. This whole
thing Is Insignificant. It is a scandal on
a reputable business man and citizen to bo
treated thus. These so-called philanthro
pists who play Sherlock Holmes arc a sort
of microbe whose object Is to gain noto
ticty. They Imagine every business man
Is a menace to society, and they make
pitfalls to catch him."
So spoke E. F. Glblln, a grocer, doing
j business on Union avenue. Upper Alblna,
j In Judge Georgo's court yestorday. Ho
j was tried on two charges of selling to-
bacco to minors. He conducted his own
defence, and did. quite as-well as the ma
! Jority of lawyers. He kept within the
rules of evidence In the cross-examination
of witnesses, and altogether displayed
some knowledge of legal procedure. He
also argued the cases, and his remarks
were eloquent and to the point. Glblln,
in the beginning, addressed the court, say

bring their goods directly before the pub
lic, which is considered the best sort of
advertising, but it will also afford them
an opportunity of seeing what others1 In
the same line of business are making in
the matter of progress. ,
Portland the Logical Center.
Portland, as the logical center of the
manufacturing industry in the "Northwest,
and in view of the huge success of the re
cent World's Exposition, is clearly enti
tled to, as well as being able to support
such an exposition each year.
Another feature of the proposition is
the fact that promoters Intend to hold
an annual "livestock show In connection
with the exposition.
Almost very r human being evinces
wore or less- Interest in animals and an
exhibition of the possibilities to be at-
called for when the defendant was ar
raigm!. Mr. Glblln admitted that he was
not faroiliarSvlth the rules of practice In
this state. Judge George concluded f o hear
the evidence and pass upon, the legal ques
tions later.
Arthur Tullcson, a boy 14 years old. tes
tified that he purchased tobacco In the
store about October 1L To test the mem
ory or the witness. Glblln. on cross-examination,
interrogated him as to when, with
other boys, he ran away with his delivery
wagon when a store window was broken,
and other things, which the boy said he
did not remember vers much about.
"Da,you ever tell lies?" asked Mr. Gib-I
."Once fir a while."
Judge George asked the boy if he was
telling the truth now, and he answered
affirmatively.
Glblln. as a parting shot, asked Tulle
son: "Your memory Is very "convenient;
you forget when you want to, and you re
member when you want to, don't yquT"
The boy made no response.
Two clerks employed by Mr. Giblin tes
tified that they never sold tobacco to boys
and refused them always. Thclr orders
were to the contrary, and were positive.
Mr. Giblin came from Oklahoma five
months ago, and a traveling man Informed
him concerning the law, and Giblin -then
said: "You heard what hesald; be careful
and do not sell any tobacco to minors."
Joseph Zanz,'a boy 13 years old, testi
fied that he purchased tobacco once on
credit from the 11-ycar-old son of Mr.
Giblin. The Glblln boy was called by his
father, and admitted the salc He ex
plained that he did not know any better.
When Giblin was asked if he desired to
argue the case, he said: "It is a great
American principle to make a speech, and
I haven't made one for "a long time. This
case" hinges alone on the evidence of this
boy. which is contradicted by all the other
witnesses. He was caught with the goods
on him, and It Is a very easy matter for
him to say he got the tobacco from E. F.
Glblln. This Is because of soreness, be
cause the evidence shows that petty nui
sances had been perpetrated, and he was
told his room was better than his com
pany." The defendant discoursed at some length
upon his opinion of bad boys, and, con
tinuing, said: "They use soft Words just
as a lever and to Ingratiate themselves
into your confidence, and If you sell them
once aVid afterwarsd refuse them any
more, thev tell you what you have done
before and resort to threats of exposure"!
and blackmail to obtain more.
"The evidence of one boy is not enough
to bring a man Into court who can show
he Is a law-abiding citizen, "and can prove
a good reputation. It Is Insignificant."
Glblln spoke at considerable length, and
when he had concluded, the second trial
was begun. In this case Joseph Snell tes
tified that he bought a package of -tobacco
at the store, and the storekeeper, on cross-
examination, sought to Impeach tils repu
tation. Judge George will decide the cases today.

FOR CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL
Definite Steps Taken for Magnifi

It is definitely announced that steps
towards the erection of a handsome ca

early date. Archbishop lAIcxandcr Chris
tie, of the Oregon diocese. Is now in
Rome giving a report of his charge to
the pope, as all bishops are required to
do every ten years, and upon his return
in about one month, plans for the new
edifice will be drawn up and tho funds
secured for Its erection.
The new cathedral will cost between
J123.CCO and $150,000 without the Interior
furnishings. These will be very fine and
will coet an additional J2S.O0O. The site
for the building has not been definitely
selected, but will probably be the block
upon which tho archbishops residence-
now stands. This entire block Is owned
by the'illocei?. and if it is chosen as the
site of the cathedral tho archbishop's
residence will be removed. This block Is
bounded by Everett, Davis, Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets and is adjacent to the
block upon w;hlch. the present cathedral
Is located.
It Is expected that plans for the cathe

ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE
Its Holdings In Oregon May Be
Rented by Contiguous Property
Owners for Grazing and
Dairying Purposes. -
Land Included in the grant of the Ore
gon &. California Railroad, ownership of
which still rests with the company. Is to
be leased to owners of contiguous lands
for grazing and pasturage purposes. Of
the holding of some 2,000.000 acres of
lands in Western Oregon owned by the
company, perhaps half Is open acreage
from which the timber has been removed
or that was never timber land, and- In
either case Is valuable for grazing. Many
farmers with livestock In greater num
bers than can well be taken care of on
their own places will have an opportu
nity to utilize adjoining acreage in more
methodical manner than heretofore, and
under lease that will glvo legal control.
Official Announcement Made.
Charles W. Eberlcln. acting land com
missioner of the Oregon & California Rail
road Company, who has been In Portland
several days, said last evening, just be
fore his doparture for San Francisco, hat
a great many applications for leasing
lands- have been received at the office of
the department, and that It Is the Inten
tion to act upon these Just as soon as pos
sible. The force of the office has been en
gaged In perfecting records in order that
full information pertaining to every tract
may be available, and revising lists to
show the character of land In each sec
tion or subdivision. Mr. Ebcrloln says:
"Here Is a state, that Is divided by the
Cascade Mountains Into two divisions,
one-third embracing the Western portions
with excess of moisture that insures
abundant vegetation and rich pasturage
throughout the greater portion of the
year, and especially during the Winter,
when the other twonhlrds area east of
the mountains Is devoid of vegetation,
these widely varied conditions of climate
and vegetation should forve to eventually
develop here a stockfeedlng Industry of
great magnitude. Nowhere can cattle and
sheep be produced to better advantage
than In Eastern Oregon, and nowhere can
they be put Into prime market condition
aiore Tapidly and at mora moderate cost
than in Western Oregon.
All Lenses Subject to Sulc.
"Sheopgrowers and cattlemen have been
seeking to use such grazing lands as the
company holds, in many cases adjoining
their present farms, and have been de
sirous of obtaining a leasehold becaus of
advantages that would accrue through
having definite control of lands contigu
ous to their own for grazing purposes.
All leases granted will have to be subject
to sale.
"The grpwing Interest In the dairy in
dustry Is another phase of Oregon pursuits
that offers avenue of profit to the farmers
and for which increased acreage of graz
ing lands may be required by many land
owners. Dairying has not received, nearly
the amount of consideration that It de
serves from residents of the agricultural
districts, for where green grass can be
had for pasturage throughout the greater
part of the Winter the right kind of
cow? should prove extremely profitable.
That the Industry docs 'pay Is amply dem
onstrated by the records of creameries
throughout the Willamette Valley and the
experience of individual farmers who have
given attention to it.

says he does not know why another
was not named, and Mayor Lane de
clares that ho did not know tjvo were
called for.
There was great need for a captain
of detectives and inspector of police,
however, according to the actions of
the administration officials. In the
meantime. George Qulnlan is forced to
perform the duties of a captain at a
patrolman's salary. He was unable to
pass the examination, but notwltn
standing this fact, apparently satisfied
Acting Chief Gritzmacher and Mayor
Lane In that capacity.
Mayor Lane stated yesterday that
had he known two captains were
needed, they would have been supplied-,
but he said he was of the opinion
that Acting Chief Gritzmacher asked
for only one.
it is thought by some that It might
have been a matter of economy on the
Dart of the administration In naming
but one captain, but it is said to be
difficult to see from the standpoint of
police work why-it was more urgent
to assign Captain Bruin to the com
mand of the detectives and to be in
spector of the department, when there
is no captain to take charge of the day
patrol.
It is remarked as peculiar that Pa
trolman Qulnlan could not pass the ex
amination for a captaincy, but that he
Is still- retained as the real commander
of the day patrol.
Captain Bruin, who is a stranger In
Portland, is his own "boss." Although
his examination fell three points below
that of Captain Modre. and although
he had s-en no previous service here
having been-absent for six years, hf
was placed In the position of import
ance Jftcond" only to the head of tht
department.
Captain Bruin Is a free lance. Hi
goes and cornea as suits himself, anc
Is accountable to no one. He knows
nothing about the city's life from a po
lice standpoint, but has power to re
duce to the ranks any member of the
detective staff as he may see fit
and likewise to degrade any of the
sergeants. He can select a detective
staff from among the patrolmen, but
he does not know the personnel or the
qualifications of any of the policemen
As Inspector of police, Captain Bruin
can put every policeman and detective
In the department Just where he wisher
them. This places the greatest power
In his hands, taking the prerogative
from the captains commanding the va
dlous reliefs, although he could not
well be expected to have secured In six
months' residence here knowledge of
conditions of the districts and the pe
culiar qualifications of each man aa
well as Captains Moore and Bailey, who
have been in the service many years.
