Portland Ladies Prepare De
lightful Surprise for Omaha
Business Men.
WELL PLEASED WITH CITY
Tarty Enjoys Car Ride and Recep
tion at Commercial Club Gov
ernor Sheldon Says Portland
Has Record for Cordiality.
With the odor of Portland roses fill
ing t'no palatial Pullmans of their spe
cial train and carrying with them
hearty appreciation of the welcome ac
corded them here, the Omaha business
men's excursion left Portland yester
day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for home.
Their last day here was filled with
surprises and every Incident planned
for their entertainment was keenly en
Joyed. The Omahans had only good
words for the Rose City and Its people.
The attention given them so far from
home made Portland the city which
will be most warmly remembered of
any visited on the trip.
The crowning surprise for the vis
itors and the one which made the
happiest impression was the act of
Portland ladies, who took advantage of
the absence of the excursionists from
their train yesterday afternoon and
decorated the cars with handsome
Portland rosea. The admiration ex
pressed by the visitors upon returning
to the train knew no bounds. They
were pleased beyond measure at this
kindly attention.
The train was Indeed handsome after
the ladies were through with It. Such
roses as the excursionists had never
seen before, were used laviBhly In the
decoration?. Every seat and section
boasted a profusion of handsome blos
soms, From the "walls of the cars
and even from the chandeliers Rnd
belloords hung such perfect flowers as
ouly Portland can grow.
tar Banked With Roses.
The observation car was trimmedln
red roses. The next Pullman was
termed the "bridal car." and was beau
tiful in white roses and syringa. Huge
clusters of blooms hung from hat racks
and garlands of fragrant syringa were
strung along the sides. In fact there
were roses everywhere. In the vesti
bules the roses were -banked and on
the seats and between the windows
there were more roses.
But while every car was a special
delight, the triumph of the decoration
scheme was the diner, which was done
in pink I.a France roses. In this car
chains of roRos were hung from the
celling the entire length of the coach.
while the tables
were loaded with

beauty of the car.
If the flowers in the
been purchased in
diner alone had
Omaha they would have cost not less
than S2000.
Governor Rheldon's compartment was
filled with red and white roses. Other
sections were filled with many colored
blooms. The profusion of roses fairly
took away the breath of the Nebras
kans and they were loud in their ex
pressions of appreciation.
Governor Sheldon showed his grati
tude for the decorations by making a
speech from the rear platform Just be
fore the train moved out and said:
Governor Praises Portland.
"It has been my pleasure to meet
'most o? these ladles before the rest of
my fellow Omahans did and my only
regret is that we are leaving. I want
to tell you ladles that we have seen
your beautiful homes and flowers, but
nothing has appealed to us so much
ns this beautiful thought of yours in
decorating our train in our absence.
We leave our hearts and our love with
you.
"Nowhere that we have been has our
reception been so cordial as In Portland.
Nowhere else have we been so nicely
treated. And when we go home we will
tell our friends and our families of the
beautiful treatment we have received
here. AKaln I wish to thank you for
your kindly courtesy to strangers from
Nebraska."
Three cheers were then given for the
Governor and the Omaha visitors just
before the train moved out.
The decorating with roses was done by
& committee under the direction of Mrs.
.nla . Baldwin. She was assisted by
airs. W. P. Stnnott and her corps from
ithe Flower Mission, and Mrs. O. P. M.
Jamleson with her V. I. A. girls. Al
most a dray load of roses was given by
trls employed at local department
'stores.
The idea originated with William Mc
i Murray, head of the Harrlman passenger
(department. He suggested it at a recent
meeting of the Rose Show committees.
It was carried out perfectly. Mr. Mc
. Murray says ho has seen many decorated
'trains in California and elsewhere, but
nothing he has seen In that line could
compare with the Omaha train.
Tom Richardson, manager of the Com
mercial Club, says he has seen decora
tions at flower shows in Florida, New
Orleans and California, but they were all
outclassed by the rose decorations yester
day. Busy Day for Visitors.
The party put in a busy day yesterday,
leaving the train at 10 o'clock In special
cars for trips about the city. On the
Kast Side, the excursionists were pre
sented with roses by Mrs. George H.
Ijimberson and others, and on the West
Fide they met with similar donations
from Mrs. A. E. Butterfield and Mrs.
Van Duyn. They were surprised at the
Immensity of the Forestry building and
the view from Portland Heights was also
a. revelation to them.
The party returned to the Commercial
Club rooms for a reception and lunch at
I o'clock. Governor Sheldon spoke at
the luncheon, while several speeches were
made in the club parlors. Tom Richard
son was master of ceremonies and wel
comed the excursionists. T. G. Jeffries
- responded and John Manning, a former
Nebraskan, spoke. S. G. Reed and Wal
lls Nash, representing the Chamber of
commerce and Board of Trade, made
short speeches, and the Omaha Quar
tet sang several selections.
From the time the Omaha party was
met at the depot yesterday morning until
it pulled out In the afternoon, delegations
lrnm the commercial bodies were con
stantly on hand to entertain. Tom
Kiohardson, C. W, Hodson and others
for the Commercial Club: S. G. Reed and
K. C. GUtner for the Chamber of Cora
mem; Fletcher IJnn and S. B. Vincent
f r the Manufacturers' Association, and
Wilis Nash and J. B. Laber for the

Information wherever it was needed.
Omaha newspaper men who accompa
nied the business men's excursion to Port
land were interested visitors to the local
newspaper offices. They made a thorough
examination of The Oregonian plant, from
the pressroom in the basement to the art
department In the tower. After going
through each department of the paper
they stated that the paper la the best
equipped west of Chicago, and equals the
Chicago papers for completeness of equip

SHORT STOP AT HOOD RIVER
Nebraska Party Makes Speeches and
Receives Strawberries.
HOOD RIVER, Or., June 10. (Spe
cial.) Although the train bearing the
Omaha business men was one hour
and a half late when it reached Hood
River, a big crowd was on hand to
meet the party and to give a heary"
welcome. The lateness of the train
made Impossible a trip into the Valley,
and after an address of welcome by
E. L. Smith and responses by members
of the party, the train pulled out.
While here, Nebraska's stalwart
Governor was the cynosure of all eyes
and got an ovation from the many ex
Nebraskans now living here. In fact,
his stay was one continuous hand
shake. When asked what he thought
of Oregon and its people, he said:
This Is my first trip to the Coast, and I
believe I voice the sentiments of most of
our party when I say It has been a revela
tion to me. What has appealed to me most
Is the great- prosperity evident on every
hand In Oregon and the Northwest. I had
been told of the wonderful scenes here and
was In a measure prepared for It. It Is
wonderful, but what Is still more so are
the great resources still practically un
touched. This ts what la making- the great
Northwestern country and will continue to
make It. In small towns and big, every
where, I notice the same energetic and
prosperous people. Personally. I prefer the
small town, like you have here, or the
country, where everybody knows everybody
else, to the city, having been born on a
farm. What you can grow here Interests
me more than the scenery. I am very sorry
to say, however, that we have not been
able to see Mount Hood or any of the other
snow-capped mountains since we have been
here. Our trip through the Northwest and
on the Coast has been one of rare pleasure
and a reception royal. Everywhere we have
been greeted with a hearty welcome and
good feeling, and my first trip to Oregon
will be among my pleasantest recollections.
The other members of the party
spent their time In distributing sou
venirs and getting acquainted with the
local business men. Before leaving
Governor Sheldon was presented with
a large bouquet of roses by. Mrs. V.
F. Lara way, and as the train pulled
out cheers were given for Omaha and
Hood River.
During the impromptu reception sev
eral boxes of Hood River's finest
strawberries were put aboard the
train.
SPEND AN HOUR AT THE DALLES
Omaha Business Men Are Showered
With Carnations, and Cherries.
THE DAISES, Or., June 10. (Spe
cial.) The Omaha business men's ex
cursion arrived here at 8 o'clock this
evening, spending an hour in this
city. Their train .was met by a large
delegation of citizens who offered the
visitors the hospitality of the Com
mercial Club, and showed them about
the business portion of the city. On
account of the late arrival of the train,
which was expected at 6:30, plans for
driving the guests about the city and
suburbs were necessarily abandoned.
A large quantity of carnations and
some of the season's best cherries were
presented to the visitors.

the metropolis of Southern Oregon," said
F. W. Hollis, a furniture dealer of that
live city, at the Imperial yesterday. "Our
town now has & population of 4000 and
at the lost election Ashland cast only 100
votes more than were polled in Medford.
Few towns In the Northwest can dupli
cate the growth of Medford In the last
few years. I have never seen better
prospects for fruit than we have this
year. When it comes to Vaising apples
and pears, with all respect to other
sections of the state, we doff our hats
to none. Our business Interests are grow
ing apace with our population, and our
people are prosperous and contented."

I FROM POLICE
Department to Help Manning
Close Saloons.
WILL CARRY OUT ORDER
After Consultation With District At
torney, Chief Grltzmacher Says
Patrolmen Will Be Instructed
for Sunday Closing. '
District Attorney Manning will have
the co-operation of the police next
Sunday in making: Portland a closed
town. He called upon Chief Grltz
macher last nifht and held a long
consultation, with the result that the
department will assist In enforcing the
state law.
Chief Gritzmaeher (s in hearty ao
cord with the District Attorney, and
expresses great satisfaction at the de
termination of Mr. Manning to shut up
the saloons on Sunday. The Chief has
intimated of late that he expected
such a move, being well aware of the
public demand for it. It is believed In
police circles that Mayor Lane would
have acted in a similar manner before
had not City Attorney McNary inter
preted the law to exclude Portland
from control by the state statute.
When Mr. Manning announced hla.
determination to close the saloons of
Portland Sundays, Chief Grltzmacher
was asked what attitude the police
would assume, and he replied that he
could not tell; that Mr. McNary had
previously rendered an opinion to the
effect that the provision of tho City
Charter, wherein it is stipulated that
the state law shall not apply to Port
land, would make the measure inoper
ative In this city.
Iast night, however, after his con
sultation with Mr. Manning, Chief
Grltzmacher said that the police will
co-operate with Mr. Manning in en
forcing the order of tho latter, closing
every saloon, hotel bar and liquor
shop In the city.
"District Attorney Manning declares
he is certain of his ground," said Chief
Gritzmacher, "and that the law can be
enforced in Portland, as well as any
other portion of the county or state.
This being the case, the police will do
all in their power to assist him in
making Portland a closed town on
Sundays as far as saloons are con
cerned. The saloons have six days in
which to operate, and they run 20
hours of each day. I think that is
plenty, and I am in perfect accord with
Mr. Manning's order closing them on
Sunday."
The enforcement of the law, as Mr.
Manning has Interpreted It, will be ac
complished with the regular police
shifts, and no reserves will be required,
the Chief believes. He experts many
of the saloons the large majority to
close and remain closed all day next
Sunday, as It Is his judgment that the
larger number of proprietors favor the
move.
Saloons are now forced by a city
ordinance to close at 1 A. M. and re
main closed until 6 A. M., but in future,
according to Mr. Manning's edict, they
must remain closed from 1 A. M. Sun
day until 12 o'clock midnight. They
are then at liberty to open for one
hours, but must close their doors until 5
A- M. the regular hour prescribed for
opening.
Chief Gritzmacher Is In favor of re
vising the city ordinance, so that
saloons will be required to close their
doors at midnight. If this is done, they
will ba obliged to close at 1 A. M. Sun
days and remain closed until 5 A. M. of
Monday.

BENNETT'S WORK UP AGAIN

Heated Discussion on Movement to
Pay Contractor's Debts With,
$30 00 Penalty for Delay.
The Members of the Board of Edu
cation, at their regular meeting last
night at the City Hall, held an ani
mated discussion of the merits and
demerits of the work done by Con
tractor Bennett on the Holman, Sun
nyslde and East Twenty-eighth street
schools. The contract for this work
was let to Mr. Bennett, and there was
much trouble before It was completed.
He was penalized $3000 for delay, and
a motion was placed before the board
last night to psy this amount to his
creditors. It was finally decided to let
the matter rest until the next meeting.
H. Wittenberg ald he did not deny
that Bennett's creditors should have
their money, but that they should enter
suit, and take the matter into the
courts. "It is said that Bennett has
no property they can attach," he con
tinued, "but if I had sold 125,000
worth of property in the last few
months I should expect to pay my
honest debts. This man has been a
thorn and a nuisance to the members
of the board who have been obliged
to see that his work was properly
done. Had it not been for his cred
itors I should have said that he should
forfeit the entire amount of the pen
alty. 16000.
Mr. Campbell said that he had heard
It rumored that- there was some
crooked work going on among mem
bens of the board in regard to this
work so that he believed this matter
should be taken Into the courts if this
was necessary, in order to secure to
the creditors their money from Mr.
Bennett.
Chairman Beach believed that the
creditors should be paid their money,
to the amount of 13000. Mr. Bennett,
he said, had been at a loss of $20,000
on the contracts, while he should be
115.000 ahead. Mr. Beach also said
that the work Is the b est which the
school board has ever had in the city.
This was not denied by the other mem
bers of the board, but they were not
willing that Mr. Bennett should have
the credit for it. .
