TTTT: MOHXIXG OREGOXIAN. THURSDAY, APRIL 23. 1908. 1 PREDICT PARTY VICTORY IF! JUNE Large Attendance and Much Enthusiasm at Meeting of Republican Committee. FAVOR CANDIDACY OF CAKE Major J. P. Kennedy Is Elected Chairman Over SanoTeron Ileed, ii n d J. F. Kerlchem Is , Cho-ri. Secretary. Harmony and unanimous resolve to rlcct the entire Rnpubliran ticket fn June by a "Republican majority" pervaded the mretfiiff of the Republican emmty cen tral committee In Alisky Hall last night. Ninety-five of the 115 newly-selected members of the committee attended the meeting and efferted organization by elTtlnn Major J. P. Kennedy for chair man and J. F. Kprtchem for secretary. Th organleation of the committee was captured by the friends of U. M. Cake, W. M. Cake, brother of the Senatorial candidate, having placed Chairman Ken nedy's name before the committee. Sec retary Kertchein is aleo friendly to the akes. Th platv of Ferdiand H. Reed and his followers to control th". county organiza tion by electing Sanderson Reed as chair man fild not materialize. It Is said that Ferdinand PI Reed had the committee lined up frr bin man for chairman by a margin of four votes when the Cake people proposed overtures by which they agreed to concede to Reed the election of Frank F. Freeman as secretary it the Reed delegates would stand for Ken nedy for chairman. Hut Freeman was not desired by the Ft' ed people, it de veloped, and the muddle resulted In the ela tion of Kertchem, of the Cake forces, as secretary. The election of officers ap parently left no sore spots, for the elec tion of both Kennedy and Kertchem was made unanimous. Kennedy Has I,arfre Vote. For chairman, Kennedy received a vote of 75 against 20 for Sanderson Reed, who was placed In nomination by Ferdinand E. Reed. Freeman declined the nomina tion of secretary and Kertchem was elected over Frank C. Mlddlcton, who was nominated by Charles Ielner, "by a vote of 76 to IS. Ferdinand Reed after wards nominated "VV. M. Cake as a mem ber jif the Republican state central com mittee and the nomination was made unanimous, Mr. Cflke announcing that he reserved the privilege of resigning the off Ica In favor of Charles K. Iockwood. whom he had promised to support for the position. W. E. Williamson was the. unan imous choice of the committee for Con gressional committeeman for the Sec ond Congressional District. The Introduction of a resolution by Mr. Williamson blacklisting Republicans who In the future fall to support their party's nominees created considerable dis cussion. The resolution was finally laid on the table on motion of Sanderson Roed, who contended that Us consideration was not conducive to the promotion of har mony, which was desired by the commit tee as the representatives of the Repub lican party. The resolution proposed that all Republicans be denounced as un worthy the support of their party who should support other than the regular nominees of their party or become an Independent candidate or encourage others to do so. rrjres Harmony in Work. In convening the meeting, C. M. Tdle man, the retiring chairman, briefly called attention to the Importance of the work before the members of the committee In the June and November elections. It was th duty, he said, of the committee to "e that every candidate on the Republican tcket was elected. "If the nu mbers of this committee," he said, "will stand by their chairman and put their shoulders to the wheel there will be no danger of Chamberlain or any other candidate on the Democratic ticket receiving a ma jority of the votes in June." In accenting the office of chairman of the committee. Major Kennedy predicted n complete and sweeping victory in June if the members of the committee work in harmony and in the interest of the suc cess of the tlrket. Sanderson Reed Insisted that the various measures to be voted on by the people in June were of even srreater Im portance than the election of offl- 1 c ers and suggested that the Central Committee devise pome plan for bringing thni before the people for educational purposes before the date of the election. He assailed vigorously the proposed con st ,tutini'rTl amendments for proportional represptu;tMn and the recall of unsatis factory public officials, both of which, he declared, were dangerous legislative measures. AV1 11 Appoint Committee. A resolution offered by V. K. William son was adopted directing Chairman Ken nedy to appoint an executive committee consisting of one member from each of the ten wards of the city and three from the country precincts. This committee probably will be announced today. An other resolution was adopted after dis cussion instruct ins the executive com mit tee to be appointed to apportion the county's 47 delegates to the State Con vention, which meets May 14, among the wards and the country precincts on a basis of the registered Republican vote for the primary election. This committee Is to report at an adjourned meeting of the Central Committee next Wednesday ntht and at the same time suggest the names uf prominent Republicans for elec tion as delegates to the State Convention. itnte Senator S. C. Beach, who was made a member of the committee from preHntjl 8 to succeed F. C. Malcolm, resigned, advocated the selection as dele gates to the Ftate Convention of only the most prominent and influential represen tatives of the party, regardless of their geographical location. W. M. Cake con curred in this view but urced that e.Vh precinct should first be given the privilege of recommending men for delegates. After tendering a vote of thanks to the retiring chairman. Mr. Idleman. the com mittee adjourned until next Wednesday right when delegates to the State Con vention w til be chosen. H. THOMAS IS ItE-lXECTED lemocrtic Commltte Orcranlxes for the Campaign.

It was the sentiment of the association that prep arations should be undertaken and com mittees will soon be appointed for that purpose. Among the addresses of the day, that of E. B. McNaughten. a member of the First Church, on "The Work Among Men." attracted much attention. He maintained that the church should make special provisions for young men in the way of clubs, and suggested that dormi tories be built where young men could be surrounded by good influences. Mr. McNaughten caused a smile by the re mark that the average young man could not stand more than one sermon on Sun day. He said further that young men seek friends In and through the church and that they ought to find them there. He commended the action of the First Church. Sunnyslde. and Highland, in or ganizing clubs for men as a move In the right direction. Mr. McNaughten is president of the club at the First Church A paper was read by Professor Mary F.

CAPTAIN HOBSON COMING Hero of Merrimac Will Ijecture at the Ilelllg Theater May 1. Captain Richmond Pearson Hohsrm. Congressman from Alabama, will deliver a lecture In the Helllg Theater Friday evening. May 1. on "National Defense." This lecture, coming as it does on the anniversary of Dewey's victory at Manila Bay, and the fact that the great fleet of Admiral Evans is now on the Coast, has peculiar interest at this time, apart from Captain Hobson's personal reputation as a naval authority and participant in events of the Spanish War. Captain Hob son will have something to say, doubtless, on the necessity of having Pacific Coast defenses strengthened and maintained, and his views on these subjects will be given the attention his experience and capabilities entitle him to receive.

Until the official re turns had been canvassed, Beveridge ap peared to have a slight lead over Clemens. A topic of conversation among politi cians and political observers was the race for Circuit Judge nomination between E. C. Bronaugh. L.. A. McNary and W. R. McGarry. Mr. NcNary's friends believe that he would have been victorious over. Judqe Bronaugh in a two-sided contest and they also declare that many of Mr. McNary's supporters voted for Mr. Mc Garry, on account of the similarity In their names.

Pupniftj-er, the worth loss chck artist who was arrested the other day in Vancouver, Wash., after having victimized a. number of merchants there and in Portland, waa brought to this city late last nipht in charge of Captain of Detectives Baty and lodged in the City Jail. She will be tried on a charge of obtaining: money under false pretenses, the complainant in the case being W. H. Markell, at whose store she passed a bad check for $15 10 days ago. The Vancouver authorities released the woman and turned her ov.r to the Port land police without trial, because of the better opportunity to use her as a wit ness against J. F. Madison, now in the County Jail and regarded as the real perpetrator of the scheme. The story told by this woman of how Madison induced her to leave her home In Idaho and used her as a dupe in the wholesale passing of the worthless checks which have been accredited to them in half a dozen cities, has been inx-estigated by the police and is believed to be true. The police, it is said, will endeavor to secure some leniency for the woman from the court in which she is tried. For Mad ison their efforts will be directed toward securing a substantial term behind the bars. Will Decide Suit for Hearse. The suit of the Columbia Casket Com pany asainst Elvin Ames was taken tin der advisement yesterday by Judge Bro naugh. Jof the Circuit Court. It is the assertion of the company that Ames is in possession of a 900 hearse, purchased from the company, and on which a judgment of 1 is still due. The hearse was sold on ttie Installment plan and for some months has been used by a Sellwood undertaking firm. Re Got What He Needed. "Nine years ago it looked as if my time had come, "says Mr. C.

This stock is amply secured by an immense tract of the finest hardwoods in the world mahogany, cocobola, lignum vitae, espava, mangrove, balsam copaiba and fifty other varieties of hardwoods, all of the greatest value for use in the manu facture of the finest furniture, pianos, billiard tables, inside finishing, and a hundred and one other necessary uses. This tract contains over FOUR BILLION feet of valuable timber, and every share of stock sold is secured by one thou sand feet, of an average value of at least $100.00. Can you find better security than this! Mahogany, of which there-is a great amount on this tract, sells in the open market for from $250.00-to $400.00 per thou sand feet. Lignum vitae and cocobola, both extremely heavy woods (running five to ten pounds to the foot), sell in San Francisco for from twenty to thirty cents per pound. Just think of this! At the smaller weight and price, this means ONE THOUSAND dollars per one thousand feet, or $1 per foot. Our cruisers' reports show that this tract is exceptionally well adapted for logging purposes, and that all the timber can be logged to the streams at an average cost of only $6.00 per thousand feet. The following is an extract from a letter bearing upon this particular tract, and written by W. D. Leadbetter, for j'ears connected with the United States Hydrographic Bureau, and a well-known and esteemed resident of Portland. "I have explored some of these rivers for a distance of 20 to 30 miles in steam tugs, and find sufficient water in them for THE NORTHWESTERN EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT CO. OF THE UNITED STATES 318 WORCESTER BUILDING, PORTLAND, OREGON DOMESTIC SCIENCE COURSE PROVES POPULAR IX PORTLAND HfGH SCHOOLS. Many Apply for Instruction and Give Tlieir Reasons for Desiring to Learn to Cook. The. Introduction of domestic science Into the Portland High Schools meets wltH the heartiest approval of both stu dents and parents, judging from the number of applications for enrollment In the cooking classes which were organ ized yesterday. Unfortunately the al ready arranged programmes of many of the girls make It impossible for them to receive Instruction in cookery at this time: hut the newly equipped kitchen laboratories will be filled to their ut most capacity by those who have time for this extra study. Considerably over 311 girls handed In slips requesting permission to take the course; while the boy-students not only expressed a good deal of the kind of Interest In the movement that would be naturally expected In their sex. but In a large number of cases made serious application for class membership, on the grounds that "a fellow never knows when he may be off in the moun tains, surveying or something, and have to get his own meals or go without." It was originally Intended to confine the instruction In cookery to first-year girls only: but s it is so late In the year, a short practical course will be arranged to Include others If possible. No credits will be Riven for the subject this year, but regular four-year courses In domestic science are planned for-next Fall. Miss Ullan Tingle, who has charge of the work In both- the East and West Side Hich Schools, reports great interest and enthusiasm amonghe aspirants for cul inary honors. Many girls wrote an Im ploring, underlined "please." or "urgent ease, at the bottom ot tneir application papers. In filling out these, besides the name, year, vacant periods and such de tails, each Rlrl was asked to state whether she had ever done any cooking at home. Often the answer was "a little." or "not much": but In a very large number of eiises the reply was "No," or "Have had no opportunity." or "This is my only op portunity to learn." In one of the schools an additional question, was asked. "Why do you wish to enter this course? -Mtss Tingle states that during a number of years of teach ing experience she ha made a practice of asking this question of new pupils, and she has received some very Interesting re plies. Among those given yesterday the most usual formula was "T wish to be come a good cook," or "My mother wishes me to know more about cooking." but oc casionally further details were Riven, as: "I want to learn to cook because I want to know the proper foods to eat. I also may wish to marry some day." "Because It is the most Important part of housekeeping, involving the health of all." "Because 1 know very little about It and I will never learn cooking unless I learn now." "Because I expect to have to cook and I want to do It right." "Because. I like It." "Because I want to help my mother all I can, and afterwards cook in my own home." All sensible girlR evidently. One writes very confidentially: "The reason I want to take It Is because 1 think It Is one of woman's greatest accomplishments to cook, and also if I am so lucky as to get a good husband, you know you have to know how to cook If you want any peace. Don't you think so?" Another concludes simply: "Becaie mv mother says I have to." And another says: "My father Is desirous that I know how to feed him." Probablly there are other fathers with similar sentiments. Judge O'Day Goes ro Fossil. Circuit Judge O'Day. of Portland. Is to go to Fossil. Wheeler County, today to try a tlO.000 libel suit. It was brought by Jay Bowerman against James S. Steward, editor of the Fossil Journal. Circuit Judge Littlefleld, of Fossil, felt Interest Satisfy ion that under the circumstances he could not fairly try the case. Statements made in the Fossil newspaper concerning Bowerman, who Is a candidate for the State Senate, from Wheeler County, on the Republican ticket, are the cause of the suit. During Judge O'Day's absence from the local court Judge B. V. IJttle fleld, of Sherman County, will preside In Department No. 2. REHEARSING FOR CONCERT Fortland Symphony Orchestra Is Working on Second Programme. Several of the enthusiasts on music, who have supported the Portland Sym phony Orchestra most liberally, attended the rehearsal Tuesday morning, at Ellers hall, and were delighted with the splendid work of Mr. Dlerke and hla men. There Is one" thing particularly noticeable and that is the perfect harmony In the or chestra. ' The musicians are sincerely interested in making the Portland Symphony a per manent organization and with that end in view are willing to give their time and atudy to the work. The interest and sup port of the public at the first concert were Indeed gratifying to director, manager and members of the orchestra, all of whom had worked very hard to meet the ex pectations of those willing to support them, and are working diligently to make the second concert an improvement on tho first one. It is work and rood hard work that spells success for such an or ganization. . . Ferdinand Konrad, cellist, who has left Portland for Chicago, to remain per manently, it la understood, will be missed from the orchestra and all regret the lops of i-o excellent a man. However, Mr. Kaps. whose splendid work at the firt concert was so . noticeable, will ably fill his place. There are also two new cpllista in the city - who will undoubtedly be added to tha symphony forces. -There is perhaps no one musician in Portland who has done more for music than Mrs. Walter Reed, who will appear as one of the soloists for the concert Wed nesday evening. May 6. Mrs. Reed will give "Oh, Rendimi (Rossi), one of the big contralto arias of the old opera that has lived down to the. present time, also "A Woodland Serenade" (Mascheron), a dainty serenade in pure Italian style Both of these will show Mrs. Reed's rich contralto to splendid advantage. Henry Bettman the other soloist will give Wlenawaski's Polonais in A major, which shows Herr Bettman to he an artist of exceptional ability. This number Is not simply an exhibition of technique as are so many given by violin artists to demon strate what they can master, hut delight- BUILT RIGHT Brain a ad Nerve Rertored fcy Grape.

"For lZyears I suffered from dys pepsia, finding no food that did not dis tress me," writes a Wis. lady. "I was reduced from 145 to 90 Ihs., gradually growing weaker until I could leave my bed only a short whil at a time, and became unship to speak aloud.

In fact, in all my travels, both upon Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, I do not recall any other port where conditions favorable to cutting, logging and exporting of timber meet the ideal aa do the facilities pre sented in this particular locality. . . . Conditions that are presented here do not and cannot exist anywhere else in the world. I have not any suggestions to make, as I am leaving this week. . . . I feel, however, that you have brought to my attention a. matter of greatest merit and splendid possibilities. If I were to remain in this country, I would follow with interest wnat appears to me to be one of the greatest commercial oppor tunities for capital that I know." The rivers mentioned in this letter are five in number, and cut this tract almost at regular intervals, running from the mountains to the sea. This means a tremendous saving in expense, as the entire tract can be logged to these streams by means of donkeys, and from these streams by rafts and lighters to the mill. Our cruisers' reports show this land to be gently undulating, not precipitous, and with but little undergrowth (not more than occurs with Columbia River timber). Our market is already established. Our common grades of lumber will all be used within fifty miles of our operations, and the demand for the better grades far exceeds the supply. As to the earning power of your money, invested with us, and if we cut only 25,000 feet per day, your money would earn for jrou over 50 per cent per annum. But we want to put in a mill with a capacity of at least twice this amount, in which event your money will be earning for you at least 100 per cent per annum. Come in and see our exhibit of these fancy woods, and let us show you the proofs of the above statements. The price of this stock for the present is TWENTY CENTS, par value $1.00. The company reserves the right to increase it at any time. ful throughout, and the orchestra wors accompanying splendidly. The next concert will be given Wed nesday eveniny, May , at the Heilig Theater. Entries for Bench Show. Entries to the annual bench show closed last night and Secretary "E. T. Chase Is confident that between 2f0 A Laxative that is as Harmless as Food If you ate plenty of fruit, eoane food and green vegetables, the bowels would never need help. 1 But when you eat fine food, and rich food, you must supply the laxative in some other way.
