MAY HAVE OLD OFFENDER
Police Beliere Kalowich Guilty of
Many Crimes.
K. Kalo wich, who was arrested by Po
licemen Tennant and Hunter at 3 o'clock
Sunday morning in an old building at
Front and Flanders streets. Is believed by
the police to be one of the worst railroad
thieves and hold-up men ever captured
in this city. Kalowich was arrested after
an exciting chase of several blocks, and,
after entering an empty building, was
found in the cellar in the act of hiding
a .32-caliber revolver and a cap fitted with
a black mask. f
One of the men who held up the Bis
marck saloon, on Twenty-first and Tliur
jnan streets, a few nights ago, wore a
black cap and mask, and answers the
general description of Kalowich, and the
police believe he Is the man. Owing , to
the fact that Kalowich had 11 pairs of
shoes and several pairs of rubbers in his
possession when pursued by Policemen
Tennant and Hunter, .- the police also
ascribe .a number of recent robberies of
freight cars to him. He pretends to have
only a limited knpwledge of English, and
will not give the police any information
whatever. It is believed that Kalowich
Is one of an organized gang and detec
tives are seeking his confederates.

PRE-
Representative H,umphrey Backs Up
Ezra Meeker, Who Made. Not
- able Journey With Ox-Team.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. The work of
Ezra Meeker, the pioneer who came all
the way from Puyallup. Wash.,, in a
prairie schooner of the pattern in which
he- had crossed the plains 54 years before,
to mark the way of the old Oregon Trail,
seems- to be about rewarded with suc
cess. Representative Humphrey has in
troduced into the House a bill providing
for the appointment of a commissioner
to take charge of the work of marking
this, trail, and also for an appropriation
of $50,000 to carry on the work.
Mr. Meeker has had printed for broad
cast distribution a circular giving the
story of his trip across the country and
containing also the history of the Oregon
Trail, tracing it from the starting point
at Independence, on the Missouri River
till It ended at Fort Vancouver. With his
pamphlets' and talks he succeeded in in
teresting many people in the preservation
of the old road. Following is the text
of Representative Humphrey's bill:
A bill authorizing: .the President to appoint
a commissioner to super-vim the erection of
monuments and markers, and locate the gen
eral route of the Oregon trail.

erect such monuments and markers of granite -and
other material as will 'designate and locate
tli general route of the Oregon trail and fit
tingly commemorate the valorous deeds of
those who established and traveled said trail
from the. left bank of she Missouri River to
Puget Sound. '
Section 2. That said commissioner shall,
wi.th the approval of the President, determine
the position, character and number of such
monuments or markers and the inscriptions
they. shall bear.
Section 3. That said commissioner, under
the direction of the President, let hereby au
thorized to solicit and receive -funds and ex
pend the same, given to assist in carrying out

."FIGHTING THE BEEF TRUST"
WHY WE ARE "FIGHTING
THE BEEF TRUST "
When the Beef Trust came to Port
land it demanded that every butcher
in the clcy BOOS'i" the price of meat
from 3c to iOc per lb. The slogan was
"Boost the price;, never knock!"
Smith refused to join the " Boos tern,"
whereupen the Beef Trust ordered the
butchers of the -city to buy '"not a
pound of meat frqm Smith." Smith
then turned to the retail public and
sold meat- at wholesale prices. He has
done it for two years; he will keep
a-doing it. N'H until the Trust is
lying helpless in the ash-heap will
Smith give up hiB motto:
"Fighting the Beef Trust."
It devolves upon everv Portland
family to, buy its meat at Smith's. If
the Beef Trust should get a grip on
the town the price of meat would go
about double. Oregon people will
never pay Kastern prices for meat as
long as they stand by Smith.
