THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1906. KNAPPTON TO HILL'S NEW EE CITY Railway Magnate Now Negoti ating for Purchase of Townsite. IS OWNED BY MILLIONAIRE Captain A. M. Simpson, of San Fran Cisco, Whoso Sawmill Supports Village, Will Sell Thinks Port land Need Nt Worry. Rumors that James J. Hill Intends to father a city at the mouth of the Colum bia on the W ashington ' side appear to have a substantial foundation. It is known that the Hill interests are negoti ating for the purchase of a strip of water front Beven-elRhths of a mile in length at Knappton. across from Astoria. Captain A. M. Simpson, a Pan Francisco multi millionaire, who owns the property, is now in Portland to meet Hill representa tives who have made overtures to him for the purchase of the laud. Captain Simpson last night at the Hotel Portland confirmed the report that Hill Is after the waterfront at Knappton. He said that he had been asked whether he would dispose of the property, and that lie had answered in the affirmative. Cap tain Simrtsnn stated that no understand ing had been arrived at, but that there might be something definite to give out within two or three days. It is under stood that no price has been set and that Captain Simpson came to Portland to learn whether the Hill people are in earnest, and if so, to close the deal. I have had no direct offer from Hill, but representatives of the Portland & Se attle have approached me to ascertain whether the property is for sale." declared Captain Simpson last night. "I came to Portland to confer with agents of the company relative to the sale of the prop erty; that is the status of the matter at present. Now a Sawmill Village. The property in question includes the ite of the village of Knappton and the larae sawmill at that place. Knappton its a mere hamlet and is supported by the sawmill. Captain Simpson states that there is dep water for half a mile along the waterfront, which he owns. There is a depth of HO feet, and he says if the harbor were slightly improved 20 large vessels could easily be docked at one time. The San Francisco capitalist has exten sive hcldinp.s in that vicinity, and it is not Riven out how much land is included in the ileal now on. It is said, however, that if the holriinps of Captain Simpson are taken over by Hill, including the strip of watcrfont and the sawmill, the con sideration paid will probably run up into millions. Captain Simpson declined to place a value on the property when seen last nipht. Captain Simpson doe-s not pretend to know what use Hill may have for the property, and Is outspoken in his belief that no city of Importance can ever be built there. Kven should Hill make Knappton the terminus of his road, and by diverting hia shipping to it attempt to build up a great city. Captain Simpson does not think the railway magnate will succeed. "Portland is 'the' city of the Columbia River valley, and as long as the river is lfL ujn-ii j im uniiu n in uctci nine ua commercial supremacy," he said in dis ciwsins the new town which Hill is said to intend to build. "And it goes without (Myitis." he continued, "that the river will le kept opt-n. I can see no future for any port at the mouth of the Columbia other than Astoria." ot at Gray's Bay. It has been stated float Hill intends to establish his new city on Gray's. Bay, which is this side of Knappton, but rail road men who have been closely following a lie railroad development of the Pacific Northwest are inclined to believe that Knappton Is the favored epot in view of the negotiations now pending with Cap tain Simpson. Announcement was made some time ago by the Portland & Seattle officials that the terminus of the road to extend down the river below Porland would be Gray's Bay. It is known, however, that surveys have been made by the railroad company through the property of Captain Simpson t at Knappton. and that the latter has promised the company a right of way. Captain Simpson, while in Portland, will confer with the officials of the Columbia Valley, which company has surveyed and asked for a right of way through his t Knappton holdings1. It has been rumored that the Columbia Valley will build down the Columi'oa. to connect with the I. R. & N. at llwaco. Woes of Church Usher Are Many Some of Tlifm Told nt Tllnnrr Given Church Attendants by Dr. Clar ence lTtte AYtlson. DR. CLARENCE TRUE WILSON en tertained the reception committee and uhers of Grace, Church at dinner, Thursday night, at the parsonage resi dence. IS guests being present. During the dinner the reception and seating of church members aml guests was thoro ughly discussed and new ideas talked over among the men who handle this part of tho church work. "If people coming into a church only realised how foolish an usher feels when he walks down the isle to seat them and then finds on turning around that they have seated themselves in some other part of the church," was the plaint o? one usher, "'they would surely have some compassion on us." "You will sot ued to it If you stick to It long enough." snid another who has worn out several Methoilist carpets in the service. "Men are easy enough, for I always know about where they want to sit, but it's the ladies not nine out of ten are willing to sit in the seat the usher selects. 1 often wonder why that is," fcighed the newest usher at the table. "Tut! Tut!" exclaimed the host. "Pon't let that discourage jou boy. Why women are just naturally contrary, .you know, and you sort of have to humor them." v "That's alright, doctor, hut you never strutted clear down to the front seat and started to bow a woman Into her place to find nothing but thin air behind you and all the girls sticking their heads Into the hymnbooks to keep from laugh ing now diil you?" "Well no, but I have had Vorae experi ences than that, my son." wearily re ' plied the pastor, as he thought of the neighbors who peeked through their wiu dua when sundry loads of coal and wood were unceremoniously dumped before hi residence. "No don't let a little thing like that discourage you. Just go back ' for another and keep on until there are no other seats left so they will have to take the front ones." "Whether stringent measures will be adopted at Grace Church to make mem bers sit in certain seats, or whether they will continue to do as they please and leave the ushers to parade up and down the isles in vain attempts to select loca tions for them, was not given out for publication, but the ushers- looked , very determined as they left the Wilson resid ence and there will probably be results from, the conference.

PRISONERS working on the county ails and told to get ready for work.

Overalls are furnished the pris oners for working garments, but this "gent" had refused them. J. H. Ganzer. known to himself and a limited number of others as "Doctor," is spending 30 days at Kelly Butte, having been found guilty of trying to dodge a small payment. He was tried before Municipal Judge Cameron. The doctor was taken to 'the butte sev eral days ago by Road Supervisor Chap man. The next morning, the prisoner arose, dressed in his Sunday best spent a part of the breakfast hour tixing his new necktte and polishing his shoes. Then he walked out and informed Chief Guard Briggs that he was going to tele phone Judge Cameron that he, Ganzer. had had enough jail life and was willing to reform. "Allow me to inform you. my kind 'sir. that If there is any telephoning to be done around here. I do it," replied Briggs. Ganier was then given a pair of over-. LOSES WAY IN WOOD Little Highland Girl Has an Un pleasant Experience. WANDERS IN A CIRCLE Rushes About Frantically Eight Hours in a Bit of Forest Less Than Half Mile Across Be fore Finding Way Out. In a bit of woods not more than half a mile across, Ruth Lambert, a 10-year- old school girl, wandered aimlessly in a circle for eight hours yesterday afternoon and night. With her clothing torn to rib bons from forcing her way frantically through the dense underbrush, and well night exhausted, the lost girl found refuge at last with friends by the name of Eastman, who live on the Columbia Slough. She reached their home at about 11 o'clock last night. All Highland, led by Patrolmen Mackey and Matt Murphy, searched the neighborhood with lanterns and at last found the child at the East man home, still shivering with terror after her experience, but safe and sound. After she had completed her studies for the day, the little girl started to visit friends who live on the Columbia Slough about a mile and a half from the High land School. She did not reach her in tended destination, neither did she return to her home at Thirty-ninth and Alberta streets, and fears were entertained that she had met with foul play. At last her parents, alarmed over her absence and fearing that serious harm had befallen her, got up search parties, which scoured the country for miles around. - After alighting from the streetcar the Lambert girl had started to follow to her destination a path leading through a wood lot about three-quarters of a mile across. Paying but little attention to where she was going and hurrying along lu anticipation of her visit, almost be fore she realized it she had wandered from the beaten path and was lost. She endeavored to retrace her footsteps; but in the excitement and fear of the moment became confused and strayed into the very heart of tho woods, where the brush is almcet impenetrable. She continued to wander about until night came on and then her fear gave way to terror. She fought through the thickets, clambered up and down deep ra vines and waded streams, only to And herself still hopelessly lost. She became so tired from walking and running and from constant screaming for help, that at times she was compelled to rest. But her moments of respite were limited as the noises of the woods and fear of im aginary wild animals robbed her of all reason and maddened her with terrnr. As unconsciously as she had circled about in the woods, she at last set out In a straight line and within a few minutes saw the welcome gleam of a light, a verit able beacon of hope. To this she ran, and, giving one last scream for help, fell prostrate across the doorstep of the house from which shone the light which, per haps, had saved her life. She could not have continued her aimless wanderings much longer without serious effects. The Eastmans heard her cry of distress, but she was Virtually unconscious when they reached her. They tenderly cared for her by providing her with warm, dry clothing and food, and by the time the searching parties arrived she was ready to start home. Her parents were overcome with joy when they found their missing daughter. As evidence of her narrow escape, the hands and face of the little girl are near ly raw from contact with the underbrush. It was generally believed before the kit tle girl was discovered, that she had "been attacked by some brute, who had left her dead or dying in the woods.' Nu merous insults have been offered of late to school girls in all parts of the city by brutes whom the police have not caught. COURT IS NOT SATISFIED Will Investigate Assault and Battery Charge Against Frank Royal. Although Frank Royal, a big, able bodied man, charged with assaulting Charles Nelson, a boy of 19 years, entered a plea of guilty and was ready for sen tence yesterday, Judge Sears postponed the fixing of a penalty until today, when he will hear testimony in open court in order to establish the degree of guilt of the defendant. It is asserted that Royal attacked the boy while the latter was trying to pre serve the honor of his mother, while Royal, admitting that he assaulted the boy. states that it was done in self-defense and while the boy was attempting to steal a dog belonging to him. Conflict ing stories of the assault, and the fact that Royal was willing to plead guilty, while asserting that his blows were struck in self-defense, led Judge Sears to defer his sentence until evidence could be heard. LEAVES ONLY CASH IN BANK Mark M. Delaney's Estate Consists of $32,000 in Money. Immediately upon County Judge "Web ster's return to his official duties yester day he took up the disposition of probate declared that he had already dressed. The doctor was then led out to the rock field and ordered to get busy. Not for "Doc" Ganzer. He sat down on a boulder, fold ed his arms and gazed at the landscape. When discovered by the guards, Gan zer was led back into the jail, decorated with a ball-and-chain and put on an anti fat diet. All day long, Ganzer thought the matter over. The next morning he placed the collar and necktie on the up per shelf and asked for work. An hour after the labors began, the guards discovered Ganzer away up on the .side of the butte, playing golf with a small rock and a .crowbar. , "Who told you to go up there?" asked Briggs, as the doctor was taken by the hand and led gently down to the domain set apart for those who toil that Mult nomah County's roads may be kept in good shape. -."Nobody." was the meek reply. "Then you take that wheelbarrow and carry stones to the crusher," commanded Briggs. And Ganzer is now doing" the best he can to help transform big rocks Into lit tle ones. matters, which had accumulated during his absence. Chief of these were the admission to probate of the will of Mark M. Delaney. The estate of the deceased consists en tirely of cash in various banks of the city amounting to J32.000. Margaret J. Delaney was appointed administratrix. The inventory and appraisement of the estate of Charles T. Kamro was filed, showing the same to consist of two life insurance policies of the present value of J4304.04 each; 750 shares of stock of the Lewis River Transportation Company, of the value of $1 per share, and personal property consisting of firearms, watch, cane, pipe, etc., of the value of $206. An order 'was issued directing the executor, C. P. Adams, to surrender the life Insur ance policies for cash and to dispose of the personal property. Judge Webster will continue the hearing of probate matters today. Court Notes.

Quotes Apocrypha and Talks in Parables Sapient Portland Lawyer Breaks Bail News Gentlr to Affed and Jiitirm Client When Trial Goes Wrong; Way. w OTJLDN'T think Attorney Charles J. Scriptures, would you? It's a fact! Not only is he an authority on the Bible, as it appears in' the King James version, but he is a close student of the Apocrypha as well. He has formed the novel plan of telling his clients the results of cases by quoting passages from the Scriptures. This is something new in local legal cir cles. Last Thursday morning. Judge Cleland decided the case of Gottfried FIck against Christian Fick in favor of the defendant. The parties to the suit were brothers. A year ago the first-named deeded his prop erty, ten acres of valuable land.' to his brother, the latter agreeing to keep Gott fried the rest of his days and to ailow him J150 a year. The treatment accorded his brother by Christian Fick was such that the former was forced to go to the poorfarm. but he is now being cared for by friends. The defendant is bent with years, and so feeble that he can scarcely speak above a whisper. He was not able to be in the courtroom at the time the decision was rendered, so his attorney, CV J. Schnabel, went out to inform him of the verdict. The lawyer did not tell his client exactly what the jurist had said, but allowed the aged man to surmise what the findings of the court had been by reading him the following verses from the 33d chapter of Ecclesiasticus, a part of the Apocrypha: "Give not thy son and wife, they broth er and friend, power over thee white thou livest, and give not thy goods to another, lest it repent thee and thou entreat for the same again. "As long as thou livest and hath breath in thee, give not thyself over to any, for better it is that thy children should seek to thee than that thou shouldst stand to their courtesy. . "In all thy works keep to thyself the pre-eminence, leave not a stain in thine honor. "At the time when thou Shalt end thy days and finish thy life, distribute thine inheritance." Fick thanked the attorney for the read ing of the lesson, then tottered away. FUN OF STATISTICS. Suppose Tha.t Niagara Flowed Beer " Instead of Water. Chicago Tribune. If Niagara Falls were composed of beer instead of water, it would fill stein holding 25,234,720,000 quarts every Iiour. A man, to lift and drink this stein, would needs be 353.1S6.0S0.211 feet tall. A man of Liouie Gleim s ca pacity could di'ink an hour's flow of the falls in 1.097,161,738 days, 2 hours and 52 minutes. Allowing that it takes 14 steins to make a man tight on beer and IS to get him feeling funny, an hour's low of tho falls would keep the entire Aryan race asleep for two days, and make the entire Mona lian race tight lor a week. The calcu lations are based on the supposition that .the beer would be drawn solid. and that the foam would be in. pro portion to the mist rising above the falls. If all the rice raised in the United States in 1906 were to be made into cigarette papers, there would be enough to roll 251,282,227,194 cigarettes, which would be sufficient to cause Lucy Fage Gaston to employ 19 assistants. If all the noses on all tho human beings in the world were one nose, it would be 731,523,870,104 agate lines from tip to base and 793,615,107,131 agate lines from upper lip to the tip. It could smell onions cooking on the fixed star Algenib, provided the hay fever in 44.b9 of 1 per cent of the nose did not affect the entire nose. If ail the buckwheat batter used In the Nineteenth Congressional District of Xew York in the months of Novem ber. December and January, 1905, were paste, it would be sufficient to put up 23,402.337 20-sheet circus posters, wnich would cover all but It miles and yards of the great wall of China. If all the kangaroos in Australia weie one kangaroo, it could jump from Cape Wales, Australia, to Christians- haab. Greenland, in one jump.

RISES BI MERITS Meteoric Rise of Cortelyou in Public Service. SECOND CABINET OFFICER Began as Stenographer and Forces Presidents to Recognize Ability. Bonaparte Hopes for Glory in Prosecuting Standard Oil. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 25. The approaching promo tion of George B. Cortelyou, to the office i secretary of the Treasury, the second Cabinet office in order of succession to the Presidency, f aft ens attention because his rise in the public service has been more rapid than that of any other man In recent times. Not more than a score of years ago Mr. Cortelyou was a stenographer in the Postoffice Department. His efficiency was recognized and eventually sent him to the White House as stenographer to President Cleveland. He was retained by President McKinley, was later made his private secretary, and when Mr. Roose velt became President he asked Mr. Cor telyou to continue with him. It had been McKinley's intention, had he lived, to tender Mr. Cortelyou a Cabinet office. Mr. Roosevelt soon had as high a regard for him as McKinley had had and, when the new Department of Commerce and Labor was created, made Mr. Cortelyou its head. With exceptional skill Mr. Cor telyou organized the new department and, when it was running smoothly, the office of Postmaster General became vacant and he went to that office, thus becoming the head of the departemcnt in which his official career had begun in a humble position only a few years before. Makes Machine Ilun Smoothly. Never has the Postoffice Department been more skillfully conducted than un der the administration of Mr. Cortelyou. He possesses rare executive ability, is a splendid organizer and can grasp a big situation and unravel great tangles. Un der recent administrations the Postoffice Department had been allowed to run down: its work was way behind; there was much duplication and a vast amount of unnecessary work. Mr. cortelyou re organized the entire department and to day it is operating about as smoothly as the Department of Commerce and Labor, admittedly the best running ma chine in the Government service. Though Mr. Cortelyou never had any especial training for the office of Sec retary of the Treasury, he has executive ability, possesses clear, cool Judgment and an abnormal amount of common sense. The President has confidence in him: big bankers and financial men who know him have confidence in him, and there is every reason to believe that he will make good tne treasury Department as he has two other departments. Mr. Cortel you is not of the "jolly-good-fellow" type; he is more of a serious working machine, but he is a perfectly balanced, well-oiled machine, and that accounts for his suc cess. While men admire him, few are his friends. But with it all he has no enemies. Mr. Cortelyou Is the one man n the Government service who owes none of his progress to political null. He rose at the start through merit, and each pro motion has been attained in the same way. Presidents have been compelled to acknowledge his worth, and for that sole reason have pushed him forward. Bonaparte's Hope of Glory. Charles J. Bonaparte, who will succeed w. n. Aiooay as Attorney-General. Is a lawyer of no small attainments, and it is known that he would like to become At torney-General at this time because of the great work that department is doing in regulating corporations. The big suit against the Standard Oil Company is be ing prepared and cannot be brought to a neaa betore Mr. Moody retires. In this fight the Government is preparing the strongest kind of a case, and the Presi dent is consulting the ablest lawyers in tne Administration in the hope of welding together a chain of evidence that will withstand the attacks of the attorneys of the Standard Oil Company. If Mr. Bona parte is Attorney-General when this case is tried, he will be the active agent of the Government in the prosecution, and in case a conviction results much of the honor will fall to him. But aside from this the law department is more to his liking than the Navy office, for there he is out of his element, and, like others who have preceded htm, has found that the naval cliques can make it very unpleasant for a Secretary who re fuses to do its bidding. As Secretary of the Navy he has asserted himself on many occasions and has thereby incurred the ill will of many naval officers. They, in turn, have been able to make his office quite uncomfortable.

The pernicious habit some persons still have of relying on nauseous drugs to re lieve dyspepsia, keeps up the patent medicine business and helps keep up the army of dyspeptics. Indigestion dyspepsia is caused by what is put into the stomach in the way of improper food, the kind that so taxes the strength of the digestive organs they are actually crippled.- When this state is reached, to resort to stimulants is like whipping a tired horee with a big load. Every additional effort he makes under the lash increases his loss of power to move the load. Try helping the stomach by leaving off heavy, greasy, indigestible food and take on Grape-Nute light, easily digested, full of strength for nerves and brain. In every grain of it. There's no waste of time nor energy when Grape-Nuts is the food. "I am an enthusiastic user of Grape Nuts and consider It an ideal food," writes a Maine man: "I had nervous dyspepsia and was all run down and my food seemed to do me but little good. From reading an adv. I tried Grape-Nuts food, and. after a few weeks steady use of It, felt greatly im proved. "Am much stronger, not nervous now, and can do more work without feeling so tired, and am better every way. "I relish Grape-Nuts best with cream and use four heaping teaspocnfuls at a meal. I am sure there are thousands- of persons with stomach trouble who would be benefited by using Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
