Attractive to Public Food
Samples for Everybody.
Portland is to have a real, full-
fledged pure food show this Fall. The
Hetail Merchants' Association is mak
ing all arrangements for the affair,
which will be the first of the kind ever
held in Oregon. That it will be a
great success and will be an attractive
event largely because oC itis novelty
Is expected.
J. TV. Dean, of Detroit, Mich., who
will manage the show under the di
rection of the merchants, will reach
Portland, June SO. and will immediately
take charge of the preparations. The
show will be held from September 2
to 14 inclusive. As soon as Mr. Dean
reaches Portland, he will start thbigs
going, and within a few weeks the
preparations will take definite form.
Mr. Dean will bring the Rounds La
dies' Orchestra from Detroit for the
show. '
The Exposition skating rink in the
Old Exposition building has been se
cured as the place for holding the
pure food show. Thte place is re
garded as a very .desirable location,
offering as it does about 7000 square
foet of floor space. Booths will be
erected by different manufacturers
of food products, and demonstrators
will show the best methods of
preparing all kinds of foods. The
public will be invited to sample these
products to assure itself of the tooth
someness of the various products. Such
an exhibit will, of course, be of large
advertising value to the manufacturers
who make displays of their products.
A more complete show than would
otherwise be the case Is assured from
the fact that Los Angeles and Seattle
will have similar exhibits, and because
of these shows a larger number of
manufacturers will be represented
here than could come West for one
nhow only. The Portland show will
he held before either of the others,
which will be held in the Winter.
it is the Intention of the grocers
to interest the Consumers' League, the
Women's Club and the various organ
izations in the pure food-exhibit, and
It is the intention to set aside certain
afternoons and evenings for certain
clubs and lodges, thus adding to the
interest and attendance in the show.
Good music will be provided, and
light entertainment will be a feature
of the show, as well as lectures on the
manufacture and preparation of food
products. Vaudeville is to be Included
and amusement is promised for every
body. DOES IT PAY TO LIVE THUS?
A True Tale of the Life of More Than
One Wife and Mother.
They were married in Illinois and
started at once for Oregon, stopping in
Yamhill County, where he purchased a
fine quarter-section of land. She was
not strong, she had never been very
trong. Her husband knew it when he
married her. In due time eight children
called her "mother." She made all their
clothes and did her own housework be
sides; arid yet she was not strong.
Her husband satd "it often and regret
fully. He was robust, active and ex
ceedingly anxious to "get along." His
regret at "Mother's" feebleness some or
his neighbors thought was a regret that
she could not do more to aid him in his
"getting along" schemes. She herself
regretted that she was not strong.
"Father works so hard," she would
sometimes say. "I feel that I am not
as much help to him as I might be If
I were a real strong woman."
In the meantime her husband added
by purchase another 120 acres to his
farm. ,
She kept the house in order and did a
loving, Uod-fearing mother's part for her
children, whom she was anxious to send
to Forest Grove to college. She was up
early and to bed late. She was busy,
strenuously busy, every hour. She milk-d
the cows and made butter, worked in the
garden, cooked for "hands." raised and
sold chickens and had turkey for sale,
cut and dried apples on the roof of a
wagon shed in the backyard, chopped or
picked up wood for the cook stove when
the men were busy in the field, but she
never had a dollar of her own never.
"When father was rushed," she could,
nd more than once did, go Into the field
to drive a team a half day, quitting in
time barely to hurry Into a hot stuffy
liule kitchen to get dinner for 1 people;
and yet "Mother" was not "strong."
She would sit down on the kitchen door
neps some nights after all the others
were In bed, dreading the coming of the
morrow, and hoping It would not be so

hot. She was afraid she might "give
out." She would lean her aching head
against the un pain Led door-frame, cross
her tired, aching hands listlessly on her
lap, close her eyes, and wonder about
many things.
Some of her neighbors with ' families
only half as large as her own kept
strong hired girl tn the kitchen the year
around.
She often wondered vaguely how it
would seem to have a hired girl In her
kitchen. She wondered how it would
seem for her to be away from home over
uight.
The fondest hope ct her lite was that
she might go back to Illinois to see her
mother. She said she wouldn't be afraid
to go "such a long distance alone," and
"Father" had often said when the rail
road got through to Portland she should
go. "If such and such things turned out
well, and he would send the boys to
the Tualatin Academy, too."
By this time "Father" had added
acres more to the farm and the railroad
was through to Portland, but "Mother"
never made that visit, nor did the chil
dren go to Forest Grovo. "One thing and
another," she said, "has kept me and
the children at home."
One day a letter came bringing news of
her mother's death. At this she wept for
days, for she "wanted so much to see
once more that dear mother s face.
But "Father" said he had "so much
taxes, to pay and the boys were giving
him so much trouble and now that her
mother was dead and buried she could
not do any good back, there, and there
was no use wearing herself out making
the long trip. So she stayed at home.
One day, exhausted . utterly In tdy,
mind, and soul, she clasped those tired
bony hands across her breast in sleep
to wake no more. To the calls of that
hustling man, to which she had so often
responded at the break of day. the an
swer no longer came, "Yes, father, I'm
coming." Did it pay? C. E. CLINE.
FENDER - NUTTER IIP JIG.
COVNCIIi APPOINTS COMMITTEE
TO INVESTIGATE.
Question of Limiting Speed of Street
'cars Will Also Be Given
Consideration.
At -an adjourned meeting of the City
Council, yesterday .afternoon. Council
man Vaughn made a motion, which was
carried, that a committee of three be
appointed to look into the streetcar
fender question, and that the speed
of streetcars within certain districts
be limited. Councllmen Vaughn, Pres
ton and Baker were appointed to In
vestigate and to report at the next
meeting of the council.
Mr. Vaughn said that a committee
was appointed last year to take up
the fender problem, but found that the
state law governed in these matters.
The city ordinance, which was re
pealed, he said, was never complied
with, however, either by the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company or
any other streetcar company In the
city. The Hunter fender, he continued,
was the one required.
"Accidents are occurring in the city
from time to lime," he said, "and
whether this is due to a lack of pre
caution on the part of motormen, or
lack of proper fenders, I do not know,
but I believe the matter should be in
vestigated. I want the ears to be so
equipped as to assure the safety of
the public.
"I believe this committee should also
look into the question of placing a
limitation of the speed of cars within
certain boundaries, and that the City
Attorney should see to it that such
aws as we have are enforced and that
others be made as seems necessary."
Councilman Preston said thatmany
accidents would be averted If all the
cars were equipped with air-brakes.
These, he said, would give the motor
men complete control of their cars.
Mayor Lane said he believed the
greatest danger was at the crossings,
where if two cars meet while one is
at a standstill, the other should also
stop until the first one has started.
Councilman Baker complained of the
condition of the sidewalk on Morrison
street, between Park and Tenth,, but
was assured by other members of the
Council tha as soon as the tenants
have vacated the Pennoyer property a
building valued at SoOO.000 Is to be
erected, after which the sidewalk is to
be repaired.
The Portland Women' Club com
plained of bicycle riding on the side
walks, and requested the Council to
pass an ordinance requiring all wheel
men to tag their bicycles with a num
ber, as owners of automobiles are re
quired to do.
A communication in regard to the
establishment by the Oregon & Wash
ington Railroad Company of a grade
below that of the streets on the penin
sula, was referred to the committee on
streets, with the suggestion by Mayor
Lane that a common user clause be in
corporated into any franchise con
sidered.
The Civil Service Commission was
authorized to appoint a clerk for six
months.

Large Class Graduates From
Columbia University
ARCHBISHOP IS. PRESENT
Other Prominent Catholic Church'
men In Large Audience J. P.
Kavanaugh Delivers Oration
on "Singleness of Purpose."
Commencement exercises at Colum
bia University were held yesterday
morning in the presence of a large
audience of friends and patrons of the
school. Archbishop Christie and many
other prominent Catholic churchmen
were present. President Joseph Gal
lagher, assisted by members of the
faculty, was in charge of the pro
gramme. The hall was attractively
decorated with roses. The programme
opened with an overture, followed by
the class poem read by Edward Irving
Brogan, one of the graduates. "The
Bridge was rendered by the Unlver
slty Glee Club. The valedictory, de
livered by George Francis Roche, was
highly creditable. It was an appeal to
young men for a higher moral stand
ard in. both private and public life.
Harry Joseph Couillard gave a piano
solo.
John P. Kavanaugh was introduced
by President Gallagher as the orator
of the day. Mr. Kavanaugh sustained
his reputation as a speaker by the
address he gave. He spoke of the lm
poitance of the graduating period,
when the school with its associations
and memories is left behind and the
student takes his place In the world.
Mr. Kavanaugh said that the life of
the graduate had heretofore been full
of happiness, but now he was to enter
a very different atmosphere, an at
mosphere pervaded with the spirit of
selfishness and a world in which few
words of encouragement are spoken
"That will bo the crucial test of his
manhood," said Mr. Kavanaugh. "He
may or may not have chosen his call
lng before leaving the school, but it
were bettor that he had. He may not
have made a choice and may expect to
move along tne line . of least resist
ance. He may have been idle and
careless. But let me say then is the
time when great careers begin. The
situation with adversities and difficul
ties leads to the pathway of high
honor. Temporary failures are step
ping stones to progress. Lincoln failed
In everything lie tried, and he became
one of our greatest men.
Men the World Honors.
'"Singleness of purpose to overcome
every obstacle and to seize every vant
age grpund is essential to success in
anything. I speak to you as a busi
ness man, and I lay to these young
men that you mu! t be sober, decent,
thoroughly grounded in honesty and
morality, fired with, high ambition and
full of enterprise, industry and un
moved by petty vexations. The world
honors such men."
Mr. Kavanaugh warned the young
men of the danger of shady methods in
business and expressed regret at the
low standard of business ethics, which
he declared ought to be higher. He
pointed to the corruption In high places
of officials honored by the people.
"These men." he said, "were able
men, with families, but they have been
stripped of honor and their children
brought to shame through rveir
crimes. Their fate ought to be a warn
ing to all young men that they cannot,
traffic w-lth dishonesty. Cultivate the
virtues and honesty of the pioneers,
whose latch' string always hung out
side the cabin door,, for their sturdy
honesty was the only protection they
needed."
Following the oration by Mr. Kav-
anaugn, the diplomas and medals for
scholarship were awarded by Arch
bishop Christie. John Joseph Quinn,
of Horseshoe Bind, Idaho; William Carl
Janzen, Portland; Francis Matthew
Sinnott. Portland, were given commer
cial diplomas; George Francis Roohe,

Irving Brogan, pf Seattle, Wash., were

Patrolman Price Solves Mystery of
Fur Store Kobbery.
Policeman John Price.v working In
plain clothes, succeeded yesterday In
getting to the bottom of one of the
most mystifying cases ever reported to
the local police. A week ago the po
lice were notified of the theft of some
valuable furs, among the best im
ported goods in the store of Adolf
Reiner. 663 Washington street. Po
liceman Price was assigned to the
case, which was of sufficient impor
tance to occupy his entire attention.
Hardly knowing what step to take
first. Price stood long vigils in the
dark hallway opposite the fur store'for
several nights. His object was to de
tect the thief or thieves in the act of
looting the store, but no such luck
was- to be his. Nobody entered or
tried to enter.
Determined. If possible, to recover
the stolen goods, and thinking, per
haps, they might have been sold or
pawned. Price decided to try the
pawnshops and second-hand stores.
For two days he went about, demand
ing from every such establishment the
exact facts concerning every article
found in each place. His efforts were
without success, and yesterday morn
ing he appeared at headquarters, dis
couraged. Shortly after Price reached head

quarters he was mortified to lea,rn
that another theft of furs had occurred
at the same store. He hastened to the
place to Investigate. He decided to
make 'a thorough examination of the
premises, from the basement to the
top floor, and this time he struck the
proper lead.
The first place visited by Policeman
Price was the basement, and there was
where he solved the mystery. Scat
tered about on the floor were the rem
nants of the stolen furs. A family of
rats had eaten them.
