I STORK IS OUTDONE
Salmon a Better Emblem for
Roosevelt Coat-of-Arms.
KNOWS NOT RACE SUICIDE
King or Food Fishes TjIvcs but to
Perpetuate Ills Species Death
Inevitably Follows
Triumph.
There Is a strong possibility that the
Rtork, emblem of maternity, and most re
vered of all birds by the opponents of
what President Roosevelt calls race sui
cide, will lose his proud distinction and
Ills place be taken by the Columbia River
halmon. Hovering over the housetops
with a baby in his keeping may not be
the long suit of the king of food fish, but
the pink-meated Quinnat can give the
stork cards and spades and then beat
him easily when it comes to qualifying
for a place in the Roosevelt hall of fame.
Xo other wearer of fur, fin or feather
so well deserves the honor now given to
the stork as the salmon. None accepts so
literally the responsibility of going forth,
multiplying and replenishing the earth,
nor docs so at such cost to Itself, as the
salmon that has made populous the waters
of the North Pacific and the streams
flowing through the Pacific Northwest.
If Mr. Roosevelt knew the habits of the
salmon, this worthy fish would be placed
rampant, while the stork would appear
couchant, on the President's coat-of-arms.
According to Master Fish Warden IL G.
Van Dusen, the salmon that fill the
streams in the Spring and Fall, running
the gauntlet of a thousand perils from
the sea to the spawning grounds, imper
iling his life in the still waters, where
traps may lurk, in equal danger in the
swift reaches of" the rivers, where a fish
wheel may scoop him up without a mo
ment's warning and hurl him, dripping
and wriggling, into the clutches of the
canneryman: taking his life in his fins,
if such a thing were possible, at every
eddy, where the strong twine of a sal
mon net, unseen in the muddy current,
may enmesh him, he accepts all these
dangers cheerfully to propagate his spe
cies. Not only that, but he goes to the spawn
ing grounds, knowing death awaits him
on the riffles of the upper river, even if
he passed the myriad of dangers that
surround him on his long journey, for
spawning salmon never return to the sea.
They spawn once and die, leaving behind
thousands of fry as the fruit of their
determination. If they escape as by a
miracle the hundreds of fishermen's boats
that sweep above their heads as they
swim on to the shallows of the smaller
streams, death is still ahead of them, for
they swallow not even so much as a min
now after they turn their tails to the
cea and commence to buffet the fresh
water .currents.
Their departure for the spawning
grounds is a farewell to life. In going up
the inland streams they yield themselves
a willing sacrifice to the instinct of re
production. After they leave the sea. their stomachs
shrivel up: the fresh water depresses
them and in It they forget their cunning
and lose their agility. With their heads
upstream, their eggs deposited in the
loose gravel of the fresh-water shallows,
still trying to breast the current so long
as the-c is an atom of energy left, these
disciples of the Roosevelt theory die con
tent when they have accomplished their
life mission.
NO SLUMP. SINCE THE FAIR
(Continued From Pace 1.)
comber," ho said. "The Increase of that
month over the previous December was
15.S per cent and of course we arc so
near the end of the month now that we
can estimate closely what our sales will
be. It is evident that only a small pro
portion of the sales during the Exposition
months were due to it directly. This of
fice has been doing a wonderfully large
business, and there has certainly been no
sign or a slump in postofllce receipts."
It is the same story wherever one
turns. Business is better after the Fair
than before the Exposition opened. There
are more people here and more money is
being spent. Everything Is on the up
grade. Activity In building and real
estate tells the same talc. More- and
larger sales of realty have been made
since the Fair for each month than dur
ing or previous to it. December marked
the high-water mark in this line in the
history of the city.
It is just the same with building per
mits as shown by the city records, and
the big structures going up all over Port
land speak even more plainly than the
official records, for the valuations given
in by builders are almost invariably be
low the amount of money to be spent.
Portland merchants are a unit in say
ing that the predicted slump was but a
bugaboo. Their sales have been con
stantly inrceaslng.
'Portland has never known a real
slump and never will," said Julius Meier,
of the Meier & Frank Company. The
activity of the railroads, coupled with the
efforts of the commercial bodies, especi
ally the Chamber of Commerce, have re
sulted in bringing large numbers of peo
ple here to become permanent residents.
Every day since the Exposition our
sales have boon greater than on the cor
responding days a year ago. The present
prosperity of the city has Influenced us to
begin the construction of our eight-story
annex as soon as possible."
U. C. Wortman, of Olds, Wortman &
King, was sure that that firm had ex
perienced nothing of a slump, but quite
the contrary.
Hush Is Yet to Come.
"Business is the best it has ever been,
but it has not reached the proportions
it will," he said. "There are more people
in Portland by a good margin than there
were before the Exposition, but the rush
is yet to come. Conditions generallv are
excellent."
"There has been an Immense increase
of business in Portland in the last three
months." said Adolph Wolfe, of Llpman,
Wolfe & Co. "No one can see the slight
est indication of a slump. People seem
to have more money to spend than usual.
They are buying as a rule higher priced
goods. The coming Spring will surpass
all past ones In a business way."
Wholesale men join in with the retail
ers Jn asserting that business shows no
depression. In fact, men in all lines of
business and in the professions are of the
same opinion. Whatever gave rise to the
idea that a slump hung like a dark cloud
over Portland ready to envelop It as
soon as the Fair should close, it is cer
tain that the cloud, instead of settjlng
down, has vanished as completely as
the Illuminated sfgn, "1903," that blazed
forth its message on Portland Heights.
What Bank Clearings Show.
If the bank clearings can be taken as
a criterion of the prosperity of a city,
Portland has suffered no ill effects from
the Lewis, and Clark Exposition. Statis
tics show that the bank clearings from
the close of the Fair to last Saturday
have Increased considerably over tho
clearings of the same period of the years
1904 and 1905. The figures which are here
with appended show that the clearings
for the different weeks since the Exposi
tion have experienced in every instance a
decided and remarkable increase over the
figures for the corresponding period be
fore the opening of the Fair.

OPPOSITION ON THE OIL
MISS IjAUGHLIX arraigns sis
ters WHO SCORN ballot.
Compares Oregon Women Who Are
Fighting Equal Suffrage to
Dog in the Manger.
Women of Oregon who arc carrying on
a campaign against the passage of a con
stitutional amendment In June granting
to their sex the right to vote, were grilled
by Miss Gail Laughlin. of New York, the
speaker at the People's Forum last night.
In her address she strongly urged giving
the ballot to women.
"I am told there arc 18 women In this
state who are opposed to woman suf
rage," she said, "but I am not surprised
at that. There always will be laggards
in every race, in evory movement for ad
vancement. If it is just for me to have
the franchise, I do not care if every
woman on earth does ont want it; I want
It. We have heard of the dog in the man
ger who would not let the ox eat hay, but
he has never been spoken of as a model
dog.
"Why, there are places In New York
whore the people do not want bathtubs,
but that is no reason why those who do
want them should be prevented from hav
ing them. It is only the cleanly who ap
preciate cleanliness; only the free who ap
preciate freedom. If those 18 women do
not want to vote, they don't have to, but
they car. let those who do want to do so.
"Abraham Lincoln, when he was run
ning for the Legislature in 1S35. was asked
for hl3 platform. In his declaration of
principles, he said he believed all should
share In the privileges of the Government
who had a part in bearing Its burdens.
He said that by no means would he ex
clude the women. Lincoln was for as
much freedom for white women as for
black men.
"The question has. passed the theoretical
stage in Oregon, and in June the people
will determine whether the pioneer women
of tho state, who came here at the peril
of their lives, shall have as much to say
in Its government as the Indian who
sought to slay every white person who
set foot In what was then a wilderness;
whether the intelligent women of this
state shall have as much to say in the
Government as Illiterate men; whether the
women of Oregon shall have a little more
to say that the convicts in the peniten
tiary or the idiots In the asylums. We
are asking only that women shall have
equal opportunity with men, not that they
shall be granted special privileges."
The discussion on the suffrage question
waxed warm, and was taken up by others
after Miss Laughlin finished. A few mere
men took the opposition, and some ap
plause was heard from the back scats,
but the prevailing sentiment was for the
amendment. Miss Laughlin is a lawyer,
and is conducting the fight in this state
for equal suffrage.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting to make an investigation of the
Richards case is still at work, and will
report next Sunday night.
FELT MIND QIVING WAY
Young Van Reypen Killed Himself
When Insanity Threatened.
NEW YORK. Jan. 2S. A statement
given out tonight In behalf of the family
of Admiral Van Rej'pen, U. S. N.. retired,
whose son, William K. Van Rcypcn, Jr.,
committed suicide yesterday In his apart
ments In West Forty-fourth street, by
shooting himself, says:
"The family wish to set right the
rumors in regard to the cause of Mr.
Van Rcypen's death. He had been sub
ject to attacks of melancholia for four
years. These attacks were brought on by
overwork, as he took exceedingly good
care of himself. He frequently expressed
the opinion to his father that his mind
was giving way. He complained of this
belief to a college friend the day before
hfs death. To another friend he said he
wanted to go West and live a simpler, out
door life, fearing that the confinement of
the city would be too much for him. Re
cently his mental condition has interfered
with hi3 preparation for the Columbia law
examinations.
"Friday he called on two of the leading
brain specialists in the city. He believed
that his death would bring less distress
to the family than if he should go mad."
ROBBERS RAID SALOON.
Shoot Two Men and Beat Another in
Terrible Manner.
YOUNGSTOWX. O., Jan. 2S. Five
armed men terrorized the village of East
Youngstown early this morning, shooting
two men and terribly beating a third. The
robbers made a raid on a saloon operated
by Michael and Alexander Dyoklvic,
brothers, fl.n& with revolvers drawn or
dered them to give up their money. They
showed resistance, and each robber shot
at them, all five bullets taking effect.
The robbers then escaped, taking $500
with them. Tho two victims may die.
Jacob D. Eidclman, a butcher, was
beaten into insensibility on the doorstep
of his shop and robbed of about $300 by
the same men.

Remains of Old Pioneer Conveyed to
Cemetery on the Undine.
Jacob Kamra's steamer Undine was

Oregon pioneer, Martin Gllllhan, who died
on his farm on Sauvle's Island last Fri
day morning, to Vancouver, where inter

at 9 in the morning with a number of
Portlanders wishing to pay a last respect
to the deceased pioneer, and sho reached
Sauvle's Island at 10 In time for the
services. Rev. John Flj-nn, a retired
Methodist clergyman of this city, 89 years
of age. conducted the rites, and then the
Undine proceeded to Vancouver with tho
remains. Interment was at the City Cem
etery. Martin Gllllhan was the owner of 5M
acres of land on the island, where a few
years ago he built a beautiful country
home. His wife died about two years
ago. and her remains, too, were conveyed
to the Vancouver cemetery by the steam
er Undine.

GREED FOfi MONEY
Senator Burton's Trick Is Re
sented by the Senate.
PALTRY SUM COSTS DEAR
Hermann Loses What Standing-He
Had In Sfe House by Insisting
on .Appearing. "Whlle Un
der a Cloud. M
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Jan. 28. For waj's that are dark
and tricks that are valnr the average
member of Congress is peculiar.
A striking Instance of this was the trick
played by Senator Burton, of Kansas. In
order to procure J300 In mileage to which
he Is entitled by law, but to which he
had no moral claim. Burton, - like some
other statesmen who have been "unfor
tunate," "needs tho money," and like
others who need It, he had ample re
sources to get it. But trickery does not
help a man In Congress In the long run;
he may profit by It In a single Instance,
but where he gains a few dollars, he loses
the esteem of his colleagues, which la far
more valuable.
The greed for mileage has been ever
present, especially among men who live
some distance from Washington. Senator
Burton does not draw a particularly large
amount of mileage, as compared to men
from the Pacific Coast, but it was. enough
to Induce him to resort to a trick that
materially lowered him in the estimation
of the Senate (If such a thing were pos
sible). As heretofore related In these dis
patches. Burton could not draw his mile
age for the present session unless some
official of the Senate should "see him on
the floor of the Senate." He accordingly
crept Into the Republican cloakroom,
stood near the door, and permitted him
self to be "seen."
He was not actually on the floor of the
Senate; a great barrier stood in front
of him, for he dare not enter lest he call
down upon his head almost certain de
nunciation from several Senators who
stood ready to lambast him If he ever had
the effrontery to enter the Senate cham
ber while he reste under conviction. But
the essential thing Is that he got the
mileage, by resorting to a trick. How he
humbled himself to get a paltry He
went among his colleagues, confessing
his greed for money, yet he went with
head bowed; he did not speak to those he
met; he did not look his former asso
ciates In the eye; he was coldly received,
for it was known what he was after, and
the Senate has contempt for a man who
resorts to such practices.
There he stood, afraid to enter the Sen
ate Chamber, unable to perform a single
duty of United States Senator, yet grab
bing for mileage, and regularly accepting
salary for work he does not and cannot
perform. His Is an extreme case.
But not long' ago Representative Her
mann, of Oregon, reached his hand Into
the public treasury and pulled out $1320
In mileage. True. Hermann has never
been convicted, but he rests under several
Indictments. But he. too. "needed the
money." so he mustered up his courage,
walked Into the House, resumed his seat,
and has been daily attending the sessions
of the Hous Hejcannat dor anything for
nis state: he cannot do anything for him
self, save draw his salary and allowances,
but he got the money.
Hermann paid a dear price for It.
though. He forced his presence upon the
House. The House, as a whole, resented
It. but he preferred to suffer a silent re
buke rather than surrender a nice mess
of mileage. It cost him dear; it cost him
his standing in the House.
Representative Williamson, of Oregon,
though convicted, has shown a sense of
propriety In these matters that has served
to ofTset the effect of his conviction. The
House approves his course In remaining
away from Washington: It commends him
for not Intruding upon the House In order
to get his mileage, and if fie should be
ultimately acquitted by the courts, before
the expiration of his term, he will be
made to feel that the House Is mindful
of his consideration and he will receive
such a reception as his colleague never
knew.
The Senate does not begrudge Burton
his little wad of mileage; the House has
no desire to deny Mr. Hermann his J1320.
But both bodies do resent the means
taken to procure the money. It lowers a
man to resort to trickery of this sort: It
brings him under a cloud, which will fol
low him as long as he remains In Con
gress. TEN-YARD RULE IS PASSED
Number or Downs Has Xot Yet Been
Decided Upon.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. Jan. 23. Upon his
return from New York today William T.
Reld. Jr., secretary of the football rules
committee, gave out the following addi
tional modiflcatldn of the rules which
was omitted In the statement issued last
night In New York:
"Trite ton-yard rule was passed with
out, however, any action as to the num
ber of downs that shall be allowed a
team to make the distance In. The mat
ter of the number of downs will be taken
up subsequently."
TO TRY FOR SPEED TROPHY
American and French Champions to
Enter Decisive Race.
ORMONDE-DAYTON. Fla.. Jan. 28.
The only event to merit interest that
remains to be contested In the auto
mobile tournament Is the mile-a-minute
speed trial for the speed trophy and
title of speed king. Weather permit
ting, this event will be held tomorrow
afternoon at the Dayton end of the
course. The competition for the prize
and title has narrowed down to Mar
riott and Chevrolet, representing re
spectively America and France, and
steam and gasoline power.
There was talk today of a protest
by the steamer's owner against the gas
oline car, but it came to nothing, and
the race will be run. Clifford Earp
may enter and -make things livelier.
The steamer was patched up today.
The 30-mIIe race and 15-mile race
are scheduled for 7 o'clock tomorrow
morning, and In the afternoon It is
hoped that besides the speed-king race
there will be run three ten-mile races
and a one-mile race for middleweight
gasoline cars. The races will prob
ably be concluded tomorrow.
TRIAXGUIiAR TRACK EVENT.
Oregon Asked to Join League With
Two Northern "Universities.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Jan. 2S. (Special.) There is a proposi
tion on foot to have a track, meet at Se
attle next Spring between the Universi
ties of Washington. Idaho and Oregon.
Manager Wlnslow has received letters
from Track Manager Gri instead. of
"Washington, which Indicate that Wash-
iastea and Idaho are iredv agreed ea
this matter, and Oregon Is invited to join
them.
The varsity track team will make a trip
to Seattle anyhow this season, and the
sentiment Is In favor of Oregon entering
the contest against Its two northern ri
vals. It 13 quite possible that an attempt will
be made to institute a regular triangular
meet between the State Universities of
the Northwest. Ever since the forma
tion of the Northwest Debating League
the policy that the Northwest Is Oregon's
natural competing territory, has found
popular favor, and hereafter the varsity
athletic contests will be against North
west colleges with only occasional excur
sions Into California.
