AMONG SPEAKERS
Poet of Sierras Will Address
Convention of Oregon De
velopment League.
TALK ON OREGON SCENERY
Is Expected to Deliver Eloquent Ad
dree Delegates' Preliminary
Meeting la Held Regullr An
nual Session Opens Today.
Joaquin Miller will be one of the lead
Jng attractions at the opening session of
the Oregon Development League this
morning at the Marquam Theater. The
poet pioneer has consented to speak on
Oregon scenery and every one who has
ever heard him knows that nobody can
do the subject belter justice. The millions
who have read his poems, full as they are
01 me Beauties of nature, realize that hs
- j, a VCtJIAC lllct I
can speak as few men in appreciation
: cfc
w fSn s natural wonders.
Mr. Miller is known as tHe "Poet of
the Sierras," but Oregon would like him
to abandon that title and take another
with the name of Oregon incorporated in
It. The venerable poet spent his early
life in this state and he is coming back
here to live. Oregon lays claim to him
as well as California, and his appearance
at the convention today is especially fit
ting, for the gathering will represent
every part of the commonwealth. The
delegates from every county will heartily
welcome Mr. Miller back to Oregon and
his appearance will be in the nature of
a homecoming.
Aside from Mr. Miller's address, which
may be expected to be filled with ora
torical and poetical flights, the speakers
at today's gathering will deal largely in
cold business facts. The dominant note
of the convention will be successful ad
vertises, the kind that gets results for
communities and states. Experts in this
line of publicity will be heard. When the
delegates return home after this conven
tion, they will know more about ex
ploitation work. They will have gained a
wide knowledge along the lines of at
tracting settlers and interesting capital
in their own communities.
Governor to AV'elcome Delegates.
Governor Chamberlain will deliver an
address of welcome and many interesting
dresses have been scheduled for the
morning session, which will open prompt
ly a 9 o'clock.
Judge George T. Baldwin, of Klamath
Falls, vice-president at large of the Ore
gon Development League, presided at an
informal gathering last night in the
rooms of the Commercial Club of the
delegates who have arrived in the city.
Practical advertising was discussed and
after an interesting session, the delegates
adjourned until the session at the Mar
quam Theater this morning.
All Portland people interested, whether
members of the Oregon Development
League or not, will be made welcome at
the session today: also to the concert to
be given tonight In the First Presby
terian Church. The management of the
League is determined to make it as pleas
ant as possible for all visitors to Port
land and it is desired to enter into the
holiday spirit as fully as possible and en
tertain all visitors. The concert tonight
will be a high-class entertainment and
will be under the direction of Professor
Edward Coursen. Mrs. Fletcher Linn and
Iom Zan will render solos. No admis
sion will be charged for this concert.
Promises to Break Record.
The convention, which will be formally
opened this morning, promises to be the
most successful ever held by the Oregon
Development League. There has been
more general interest in the convention
this year than ever before and the at
tendance promises to eclipse that of any
former gathering of a like nature ever
held in Portland.
The annual report of the League work,
by Secretary Tom Richardson, promises
to be full of interest. Besides the address
of welcome by Governor Chamberlain and
the oration bv Joaquin .Miller. "Adver
tising That Gets Results" will be the
theme of C. C. Chapman. L. J. Simpson,
of North Bend, is to be beard on "A

Mr. Louise Khury, the American wife

Both the husband and wife testified
they feared for their lives. Mrs. Khury

her with a large sword he said he pos
sessed, and Khury confessed to being
afraid his wttc would poison him.
"Go now and be as good as you can."
said Judge Webster in dismissing the
case. "This belief that one will be
poisoned and the other beaten to death
with a meat axe is all foolishness. Tou
have no mora reason to be afraid of
each other than of me."

divorced IS months ago. She and Khury

WIIX SVE FOR DAMAGES
Government Charges Railroad Com
pany W ith Causing Forest Fires.
Assistant District Attorney Cole has
filed papers In the Federal Court in a
damage suit against the CorvalHs & East
ern Railroad, charging that the compa
ny's carelessness caused two forest fires
in the Cascade Forest Reserve last year.
In behalf of the Government he asks for
$10,703 damages for injury to Umber and
tho expenses of putting out the flames.
Mr. Cole alleges that the failure of the
company to remove dead trees, logs, grass
and other inflammable material from the
vicinity of its tracks resulted in a forest
fire on July 23, 1306, which destroyed
2.000,000 feet of timber on the reserve.
Also, that the same violation of the law
caused a fire on August 11, 1906, which
destroyed 12,961,000 feet of timber.

Hattie Lepg Also Says Husband
Kicked Her Shins.
Many forms of cruelty are recounted
in the divorce complaint filed yesterday
by Mrs. Hattie B. Legg against William
Frang Legg, a carpenter of 7S7 East
Main street. She charges that he burned
her left hand by forcing it against a red
hot stove, destroyed her best hats by
fire, bent her fingers back ' until the
bones cracked, wantonly destroyed a
fountain pen she prized, kicked her shins
and shook her bed for hours at a time
to keep her from sleeping. She also ac
cuses Legg of cutting the telephone wires
to prevent her from transacting house
hold business.
She aski to be awarded the custody of
her two children and to be given a share

Barney Oldfield will not be the whole
thing at the Irvington track next Satur
day and Sunday, that is if Bruno Seibel
has anything to say about the matter.
At the Cook Motor Car Company's garage
yesterday afternoon, a young man, more
than six feet tall, dressed in greasy
overalls and jumper and covered with
dust and grime, was working over a queer
shaped racing car. It was Bruno Seibel,
a driver with an international repnta-

The whereabouts of Harqjd
Long, the 16-year-old boy "who
attempted to return to Portland
in a canoe from Washougal,
Wash., Tuesday night, 'are still -shrouded
in' mystery.- The
keeper in charge of the light
house at the mouth of the Wil
lamette noticed the canoe ashore
early yesterday forenoon, but as
there was nothing unusual In Its
appearance, he did not invest
igate. Later In the afternoon
seeing the boat in the same po
, sltion, he went over and ex
amined it and found it contained
a coat and hat, collar and neck
tie and a pair of shoes. There
was very little water in the boat
and the clothes were dry. The
relatives 'of the boy now believe
he fell Into the river while
asleep. They have given up all
hope of his safety. A reward of
$100 is offered for the recovery
of the body. A diver from Port
land has gone to the point where
the canoe was discovered and
will search the river bottom.

tion, who has figured in -motor car races,
both in this country and on the other
aide of the Atlantic. He was working on
his "Red Devil." putting the car in shape
for the races to be held next Saturday
and Sunday.
Seibel is ' a German, only a few years
away from the Fatherland. He is a fine
mechanic and is recognized as one of the
most thorough auto experts in the coun
try. For years he had charge of the big
Mercedes factory m Berlin, and left that
city to drive a 90-horsepower Mercedes in
the Vanderbilt cup race, for Willie Van
derbilt. Previous to that, he had driven
in a number of international races in
Europe, and in the great Paris-Madrid
race had won first place. Seibel was de
feated by Oldfield at Ormonde Beach,
Florida, In the race for the Vanderbilt
cup, and this so angered Vanderbilt that
he discharged Seibel. Later Seibel was
Harry K. Thaw's chauffeur.
"No, sir," Seibel said yesterday, "if any
of your local drivers think that they can
beat me, just show them around. I have
a small car, only 35-40 horsepower, but
that does not make much difference. I
shall beatvany of them. It isn't the ma
chine, it's the driver. I saw Wallace on
the track the other night. He is a good
man, and knows how to handle a car,
but I guess I will be able to beat
him. Some of these days I will beat
Barney. I did it twice, but both times
because of a breakdown of Oldfield's en
gines. I don't want to beat him that
way. I am looking for a time when I
can beat him fairly and squarely. Maybe
I can do it Saturday or Sunday."
Champion Merely Smiles.
Barney Oldfield, the champion racer
stood by and listened, but he merely
smiled at the German's boast. Old
field smiled again when mention was
made that aV certain big 70 horse
power machine would be pitted against
him during the races here. He and
the German are certainly speed kings
and anybody who beats them will
have to go some.
Seibel will drive in four different
races. First he will make an ex
hibition drive. Then will be pitted
against Oldfield and Wallace In a race.
Then ' he will drive Will Ltpman's
Thomas roadster and will enter a
handicap race with a number of local
machines. Oldfield will make an ex
hibition drive each day and will drive
against Seibel and Wallace Sunday
afternoon.
Instead of eight events each day,
the committee in charge of the meet
has. made arrangements to give 10.
There is a very large list of entries
and a number- of local dealers have
entered cars. With the exception of
the Cook Motor Car Company, and the
White Agency, every firm In the city
has entered cars. There have been
many requests for boxes, and Will
Lipman, who as secretary of the Auto
Club has charge of the meet, says that
he does not think that there will be
boxes enough. The infield at the track
has been put into shape, and will be
reserved for machines.
Owners of autos Who intend to drive
to the track have been notified that
the best way is over the Steel Bridge.
The morning of the meet, the Auto
Club will sprinkle confetti along the
route to be followed to the track and
orange and black sign boards will be
erected at the principal corners. The
streetcar company has promised to
give a special service to the track,
and cars will be run every four
minutes. The races wilL start promptly
at 2:30 o'clock.
The most important races of the meet,
those between Oldfield, Seibel and Wal
lace, will be held Sunday afternoon. The
Thomas Wallace will drive is a big car.
Its engines are larger than those of
either the "Red Devil" or the "Green
Dragon." However, the Thomas is built
for road work and is not a racing ma
chine, as are the - other two wagons.
Selbel's car has the lowest horsepower
of the three machines. Seibel built most
of this machine himself, and has worked
on the car until he has made a very
fast one of it. There are some Peerless
parts and other parts were picked up in
different auto factories of the country.
At the front of the "Oreen Dragon"
are four nicks on one of the springs.

DYING STATEMENT MADE
Walla Walla Man's An t-Mortem
Declaration Is That C. H. Rey

Him Without Real Cause.
Professor George H- Herbert, of
Walla Walla, who was shot by C. H.
Reynolds Wednesday afternoon, died
at the Good Samaritan Hospital at
Id :3d o'clock yesterday morning. Be
fore the end came the dying man ral
lied long enough to make an ante
mortem statement to Assistant District
Attorney Adams, in which he denied
having; visited Mrs. Reynolds with any
wrong motive. Ha emphatically de
clared that hl& trip to Portland was
purely On business and that his call
at the Reynolds home was for the pur
pose of looking over some music com
posed by Mrs. Reynolds, on which she
had requested him to pass his opinion
and suggest changes he might .think
best before the music was published.
In part his statement to the District
Attorney follows:
"I arrived In Portland Tuesday and
called on Mrs. Reynolds, at which time
she informed me that she bad not the
copy ready, but that If I would call
Wednesday It would be ready for my
perusal. I called at the appointed hour
and was there hardly 15 minutes. On
my leaving her husband opened (ire
upon me. I wish to deny emphatically
that anything out of the way occurred
between Mrs. Reynolds and myself. I
had no acquaintance with the woman,
although I had met her once before and
had rocelved several letters from her
asking my opinion of several musical
compositions she had written In the last
few years.
"I requested her to come to Walla
Walla when she first asked my opinion
of the latest piece she is composing.
She informed me that she was married
and could not make the rip at that
time and suggested that I come to
Portland. Having some otlier business
to attend to in this city I came down
Tuesday. I was practically unacquaint
ed with Mrs. Reynolds socially."
C. H. Reynolds, the slayer of Her

Jail and to all questions as to whether
he has anything to say, responds: "My
happiness is gone now and it makes no
difference to me what the end may be."
The old plainsman and Indian fighter

'The experience, suffering and slav
ery of- some coffee drinkers would be
almost as interesting as the famous
'Confessions of an Opium Eater,' "
says a Boston man:
"For twenty years I used coffee at
the breakfast table and incidentally,
through the day, I craved it as a
whisky drinker longs for his morning
bracer. I knew perfectly well that it
was slowly killing me, but I could not
relinquish it.
"The effect on the nervous system
was finally alarming and my general
health greatly Impaired. I had dys
pepsia, serious heart difficulty, and in
somnia. When I would lie down, I
would almost suffocate. My doctor
assured me it was due to the action of
caffeine (which Is the active principle
of coffee) on the heart.
"I persisted in its use, however, and
suffered along just as drunkards do
One day when I was feeling unusually
depressed, a friend whom I met, looked
me over and said: 'Now, look here, old
man, I believe I know exactly what's
the matter with you. You are a coffee
fiend and it's killing you. I want to
tell you my experience. I drank coffee
and it ruined my nerves, affected my
heart, and made me a sallow, bilious
old man. but through a friend who had
been similarly afflicted, I found a
blessed relief and want to tell you
about it. Try Postum Food Coffee" a
grateful, 'delicious beverage, full of
nourishment, that will satisfy your
taste for coffee and feed your nervous
ystem back to health, rather than tear
it down as coffee has been doing.'
"I took my friend's advice, and with
in a week from that time, my digestion
seemed perfect, I slept a sweet, re

quit its quivering and jumping. I have
been steadily gaining in health and
vitality right alona." "There's a reason."

COSfSTIPATIOJT.
I can tell a person who is constipated
on sight. Their complexion is pasty or
yellow. Their eyes
are dull, and they
look and feel
sleepy. No wonder
they do. The
bowels are a
sewer. They carry
away the poison
ous refuse. If
they don't act the
poisonous matter
is absorbed by the
body, and head

serious troubles result.
There is no better rule for good
health than that the bowels should
move every day at the same hour if
possible. Regularity can be acquired
by making a habit of this. Foolish
people neglect this and when chronic
constipation affects them they take
pills every few days to force the
bowels to perform their natural func
tion. As years go on they require more
and more pills. This should be stopped.
Cooper's New Discovery will build up
the stomach and cause the bowels to
act naturally. While taking the medi
cine get the habit of regularity, then
gradually stop taking the medicine.
Here is a sample of letters from
those who have tried it:
"For sixteen years I have suffered
from stomach and liver trouble, and
chronic constipation. I had frequent
headaches and always felt tired and
worn out. I heard of Cooper's New
Discovery and began its use. Aftsr I
had finished one bottle I was wonder
fully improved. Constipation gave way
to a pleasing regularity of the bowels
and I ate better, slept better and felt
better than I had for months. It is
the greatest medicine I have ever
known." Samuel Booren, 1742 Munsey
Ave., Scranton, Pa.
