GEORGE T. MYERS
CALLED BY DEATH
Pioneer Salmon Canneryman
Passes Away at Seattle
After Brief Illness.
CAME TO OREGON IN 1859
Was Large Factor In Industrial
Growth of State Served In Both
Houses of State Legislature.
Hold Funeral Here.
SEATTLE?, Wash., July 13. (Special.)
George T. Myers, the pioneer salmon
packer of Southeastern Alaska and the
man who built the first fish cannery on
Puget Sound, died here today of ptomaine
poisoning. He was removed last night
from apartments In the Bavoy Hotel to
tha hospital, but at the time of his re
moval Dr. Horton, the attending physi
cian, had no hope for his recovery. A
week ago, when Myers had contracted a
severe cold, he was alarmed over the
condition of his health and. 'though he
spent but little time In his rooms, he
kept telling friends that he was convinced
he' would die from the effect of the sick
ness. When ptomaine poisoning came he
fought sturdily against death, and calmly
obeyed his physician's orders for quiet
and rest.
Mr. Myers collapsed on First avenue four
days ago and was sent to the Savoy Hotel
by Jules Redelsheimer, who had hurried
to Mr. Myers' aid. A day later ha was
delirious and a nurse spent the night with
him. Tha following day Mr. Myers roused
himself and announced he was neither
tick nor had he any Intention of being
sick. He dressed himself and refused to
go to bed that night lest he yield to his
Illness. Yesterday his condition took a
sudden turn for the worse, and by night
Dr. Horton was In despair. George T.
Myers, Jr., manager of George T. Myers
& Son's Cannery at Chatham, Alaska, has
been summoned, and no funeral arrange
ments will be made until he arrives.
Two months ago Mr. Myers had the
organ of the fishing industry straighten
. out a piece of salmon-fishing history and
It was demonstrated that the fish cannery
he built with Sylvester Farrel, of Port
land, at Mukllteo in 1S87. was the first
cannery built on Puget Sound. Up to the
time of his death Mr. Myers had planned
on starting on a trip around the world.
CAREER OF GEORGE T. MYERS
Was Pioneer of 1859 and Founder
of Salmon Packing Industry.
George T. Myers was a pioneer of 1859, a
former state legislator of Oregon and
founder of the salmon-pocking Industry
In the Pacrflo Northwest Mr. Myers
was 70 years of aga last Oc
tober. He was . actively . asso
ciated with the commercial activities of
the Pacific Northwest during his 48 years'
residence in this state. B. F. Stevens, of
this city, and H. I Plttock, the latter a
close friend, left yesterday for Seattle,
and will bring the body here for burial.
Funeral services will not be arranged un
til the only surviving son, George T.
Myers, Jr., who is In Alaska, can reach
this city. Mrs. B. F. Stevens, of Port
land, is the daughter of the deceased.
Mr. Myers was born at Pittsburg, Pa.,
In October, 1836, coming to Oregon In 1859.
Early in the 60s he wedded Sally Strat
ton Dobbins, a native of Virginia, who
crossed the plains to Oregon with her
parents in 1852, when she was only a few
years old. Mrs. Myers died in 1902.
During the Civil War Mr. Myers was
engaged in the grain buying and milling
business at McMInnville and was the prin
cipal grain merchant on the West Side
at that time. In 1S63 he inveeted heavily
in wheat, expecting the market to ad
vance, but Instead the price depreciated
with the result that he finally disposed
of his holdings at a loss of $100,000. Un
dismayed by this reverse, he began his
business career anew, associating himself
with W. D. Williams in the commission
business, which he followed with success
until 18SX in the meantime embarking In
the salmon-packing business, which he
afterward followed. At the time of his
death he was extensively engaged in sal
mon packing in Alaska. Mr. Myers was
the pioneer salmon packer on Puget
Pound, his Judgment at that time fore
seeing the prospects for an Industry that
has since attained such enormous pro
portions. It was Mr. Myers who estab
lished the first salmon cannery on Puget
6ound, who perceived the opportunity and
was willing to venture the risk and stake
what he had to find out whether he was
right.
Mr. Myers' first venture in the salmon
canning business was with Slyvester Far
rel, also of this city. Together they .es
tablished a small cannery at Mukllteo,
Wash., which they continued to operate
with only indifferent success for a period
of three years. Concluding that the right
place had not been selected for the busi
ness, they moved, to West Seattle. For
a number of years the firm had a -hard
struggle. At that time the world did not
use the amount of canned salmon it does
now, and it was much harder then to
dispose of a small pack than it now is
to market the immense packs that are
produced. But by conservative methods,
business relations were established and
the success of the venture followed. As
sociated with his son, George T. Myers,
Jr., and William Stewart, Mr. Myers sub
sequently purchased the largest cannery
in Southeastern-Alaska, located at Chat
ham, which is now being operated.
Mr. Myers served his state in the Leg
islature. In 1S02 he was elected Repre
sentative from Multnomah County on the
Republican ticket and served four con
secutive terms in the lower house. In
1M he was elected State Senator and
during his legislative career rendered the
state efficient service. He was foremost
in championing laws for the protection
and propagation of the salmon Industry.
He recognized the need for legislation If
this important industry was to be pro
tected and encouraged.
"Mr. Myers was a man of few words In
the state's legislative halls," said J. K.
Gill, who was a colleague of Mr. Myers
during two terms in the Legislature, yes
terday. He did not believe in long
speeches but was an Invaluable man to
the state. He was quick to recognize
merit In pending legislation, and was a
vigorous supporter of all measures that
concerned the commercial interests of the
state."
Although the extermive Interests of-Mr.
Myers in the State of Washington and in
Alaska made It necessary for him to
spend much of his time away from Port
land, he always regarded this city as his
home. Mr. Myers leaves a large "estate
estimated to be worth from $250,000 to
J4o0.000. Besides his valuable Alaskan
salmon-packing plant, he owned or had
an interest in more than 1000 acres of the
best land In Multnomah County, much at
which Is located In the corporate limits
of this city. He also owned some busi
ness property In this city. v .
LOT IS SOLD FOR $12,500
Property in North Portland Ware
house District Changes Hands.
Another sale was made yesterday in
the warehouse district of North Port
land. Mrs. Katherlne McGrath selling the
lot at the southwest corner of Fifteenth
and Irving streets. The purchaser Is a
resident of one of the Willamette "Valley
cities and the price was about J12.600.
There have been numerous sales along
this part of Fifteenth street recently and
several large warehouses are soon to be
erected there. There is a dwelling on the
lot sold by Mrs. McGrath and it is not
known that the purchaser Intends to
make any changes. The sale was made
by C. K. Henry & Son.
It Is reported that Swift St Co. have
just purchased the peninsula tract of
60 acres from W. J. Truman, of Chicago,
adding It to the extensive holdings
bought some time ago. The Truman land,
which was bought for $150 an acre, will
probably be used for pasturage and will
also afford an outlet trim the packing
plant by way of Columbia boulevard.
Dispatches have been received from
Chicago to the effect that among 34 of
the principal cities of the country Port
land leads in the percentage of gain In
building permits issued' during the first
six months of the year as compared with
the same period last year. Portland's
Increase was 78 per cent. This is a re
markable showing but the news, that

THE LATE GEORGE T. MYERS.
Portland has led the rest of the country
is not surprising to those who are
familiar with the extensive building opera
tions that have been in progress here.
Not only during the six months cited has
building been heavy but also dunlng
several months last year Portland led
the entire country in the percentage of
gain.
MUST ANSWER FOR MURDER
Klcomeda Cearo Run to Earth by
Girl Victim's Brother.
Nlcomeda Cearo, an Italian, is held a
prisoner in the City Jail, awaiting the
action of the United States Immigration
Bureau officials. He la a confessed mur
derer, and It Is expected that he will be
returned, to Mammola, province of Cala
bria, Italy, to stand trjal for his crime.
He was arrested at S33 Front street at
6 o'clock yesterday morning by Captain
of Police Bailey and Patrol Sergeant
Johnson, who were apprised of his pres
ence here by Nusa Blugessl, a brother
of a girl who was slain by Cearo. The
deed was done, it Is said, because Cearo
believed the woman was unfaithful to
her husband.- The local Italian colony is
greatly excited over the arrest.
After being placed In a cell, Cearo con
fessed, through an Interpreter, that he
was the guilty man, and that he had fled
from Calabria to escape punishment. He
reached this city, he said, a few days
ago. He is unable to give the name of
the ship on which he came to this coun
try as a stowaway.
The crime was committed January 16
last, and the brother of the murdered
woman received a letter from his wife
recently, telling of the murder. He de
cided to try to locate the murderer, who
he heard was bound for this country.
Upon reaching Portland from IUn Fran
cisco, he soon found tha murderer end
notified the police. '
SEND FRUIT TO SOUND
Clark County Growers "Watch Their
Bank Accounts Grow.
VANCOUVER, Wash., July 12. (Spe
cial.) The farmers of Clark County are
substantially Increasing their bank ac
counts this year by taking advantage of
the unusual demand for fruit on Puget
Sound and the good prices that the can
neries and wholesale houses of that dis
trict are paying. While some strawberries
and raspberries have been shipped, the
bulk of the shipments has consisted of
cherries. For the last two weeks the
quantity of cherries sent from Vancouver
by. express to the Webber-Russell Can
ning Company, at Puyallup, has averaged
20,000 pounds per day. The prices re
ceived by the farmers vary from 3 to B
cents a pound. Royal Anns and Bings of
good quality bringing the highest price,
and other varieties selling for 3 or 4 cents.
The only cannery in this district that Is
equipped for handling the output of small
fruits Is closed this year on account of
litigation among the stockholders, but It
is hardly likely that another year will
pass before arrangements are made by
which the crop of these fruits can be
taken care of at a nearer point than Pu
get Sound. The cherries of this vicinity
are of the highest quality, and fruit men
are very anxious to see one or more
packing plants established here.

Stock Company Composed of Leading
Citizens Begins Laying Plans
for Splendid Fiesta In
Portland In 1908.
Owl-like and -wise, or ehlld-llke and
bland, are those in charge of the mys
teries of the Portland Rose Festival
for, next year. The past Fiesta was a
success, even a pleasant surprise, ior
It was conceived in haste and carried
through in a few short weeks. What
one year is to one month, the Fiesta
of 1908 will be compared to the one
recently held. The first one cost some
thing over $6000; the next one, it is
hoped, will cost $50,000. Three parades
featured the good time of this year,
a dozen parades, both by day and by
night, will make Portland ring for
three days and three joyous nights in
1908.
Roses by day, electricity by night
are among the sweeping plans already
under way by the men in charge of the
f iesta lor 1808.
As a surprise is ten-ninths of such
things, the arrangements are being
kept deeply dark. But Portland's fame
aa a show town" has gone abroad,
and even from Europe have come sug
gestions and offers that will be ac
cepted according to the best judgment
of those In charge. Certain societies,
secret of course, but composed of men,
big men, large of mind, heart and
pocket, who are accustomed to do such
things in a regal way, but usually
within seclusion, far from ihe public
gaze, these societies! and the men who
make them what they are held some
what aloof from Portland's first at
tempt at a Fiesta. They waited "to
aee" and they "wer ahown." Now the
pressure Is the other wty.
The Fiesta .organization is almost
overwhelmed with positive. Insistent
efforts to "get in" before the plans sur
pass all bounds. Society realizes its
opportunity to spread its wealth and
beauty, and this flower of fair fashion
now not only raps but almost begs at
the door behind which so much for
next year is hatching. This year Port
land went to Los Angeles to learn how;
next year and for every year there
after every festival city will come to
Portland to learn the secret of success
with which to dazzle and amuse. The
motto of the new Rose Festival Asso
ciation Just Incorporated by the lead
ing men of Portland is "The Finest
Fiesta on the Pacific Coast," And this
is not only the motto but the actual
working plan now being; set in motion.

WILL PAVE WITH ASPHALT
All Permits in Irvington Addition
Revoked by Council.

ton addition were recommended vesterdav
to be rescinded by the street committee of
the City Council. Heretofore the property
In that section has been owned by various
different parties, but of late It haa nassed
practically under one control, whose rep

ASHLAND'S POHCB CHIEF DOES
CLEVER DETECTIVE STUNT.
Quickly Arrests Two Men Who Stole
Grip Containing $25,000 In
Bonds and Securities.
ASHLAND, Or.. July 12. (Special.)
Gus Willis and Peter Varsalla are held
here In custody and have confessed to the
larceny of a suitcase from a Southern Pa
cific passenger train between Ashland and
Gold Hill night before last, which con
tained bonds, mortgages and stocks to
the value of over $25,000, the property of
Oliver H. Perry, who was traveling from
Arizona to Grant's Pass.
Perry was unable to secure a sleeper
and was traveling In a chair car from
Sacramento north. He went -to sleep,
and awakening Just before the train
reached Grant's Pass, he missed his suit
case. He at once notified the officers,
and through the clever work of Chief of
Police C. A. Simons of Ashland, the cul.
prlts were apprehended and the valuables
recovered.
They took the suitcase and got oft with
It at Gold Hill, took a return train and
got off at Central Point, where they took
U to a hotel, cut It open, purchased a
smaller grip, to which they transferred the
valuable papers, and this was deposited
in the express office with directions to
ship to Sacramento.
The stolen grip was then carried out
and thrown into an alfalfa field near
Central Point, where It was found later
by haymakers and turned over to the of.
fleers. The grip of valuable papers was
also intercepted before It left Central
Point. Chief of Police Simons overhauled
the men, confronted them with the evi
dence, and they finally acknowledged the
crime, though each lays It to the other.
Varsalla Is part colored, and It 1b re

Bay Ocean Park Promises to Be At
tractive Watering Place.
TILLAMOOK, Or., July 12. (Special.)
The Potter-Chapin Realty Company has
placed on file In the County Clerk s office
a plot of Bay Ocean Park, which Is the
peninsula of Tillamook Bay. The plat
contains 4030 lots, mostly 60x100 feet. In
about the center of the peninsula on the
coast side 100 feet above the level of the
sea is reserved a large site for a hotel
and bathhouse, while on. the bay side is
reserved parcels of lands for a pier, boat
house and a pavilion.
A channel 1s to be dredged from the
pier to the main channel so as to enable
steamers to reach the pier. Also on the
bay side is reserved a piece of land for
tents. The ocean boulevard extends the
whole length of the park on the ocean
side, while that on the bay side Is called
Bay street. At the northwest corner of
the park Is a piece of land reserved by
the Government.
There Is a long narrow neck in the
peninsula which Is only 320 feet wide
which is all platted out. Water will be
brought from the south end of the park
and piped through the park.
Mayor H. T. Bolts, or Tillamook jiry.
has taken the matter up with County
Judge H. F. Goodspeed about building a

This could be done at reasonable expense,
by crossing the Tillamook River west of
this city, thence through the Elmore
ranch skirting the waterfront right
round the south side of the bay, wlilcn
would make a most picturesque drive.
As soon as the Potter-Chapin Realty
Company commences building the pro

county officials will make an effort to
