B 4 . 10 Young Explains Ills Victory. PORTLAND, April 23. (To the Editor.) An article published in today's Ore gonian reports that I have carried Mult 'nomah County for the Democratic nomi nation for Railroad Commissioner over A. J. McCabe by a majority of 120 votes. In the article I am referred to as "the regular Democratic candidate." while there Is apparently an attempt on the part of the writer of the article to em phasise tha fact that Mr. McCabe had only announced his candidacy one day before the election, and that in order to voe for him it was necessary for his friends to write his name on the ballot. From all of which it might reasonably be Inferred, by one not acquainted with the facta, that my name was printed on the ballot, while Mr. McCabe'a was not, hence, to that extent, the article is mis leading. The facts are that neither my name nor the name of Mr. McCabe was printed on the ballot. I was no more a "regular candidate" than Mr. McCabe. His candidacy was given wide publicity on the day of the election by newspaper advertisements, by posting large cards throughout tbe city and by distributing small cards at the polling places through out the county, while nothing whatever was done to give any publicity to my candidacy. The returns show that I re ceived 230 votes, while McCabe received 110 in Multnomah County. This matter is probably of no great Interest to the public at large, but I consider under all the circumstances that my Democratic friends in Multnomah County have paid me a compliment of which I may reason ably be. and In fact am, proud, and I dislike to have this compliment minimised In the estimation of the public, whether I ultimately receive the nomination or not. OG-T,ESBY YOUNO. SALEM VS. EAST PORTLAND TRi-crrr league teams ix a IXUBI;E-HEADER SUNDAY. Will Bo First Time In Many Years Team Representing Capital City Has Appeared Here, The Trt-Clty League schedule an nounces th appearance of the East Bide "Trlpre T" aggregation and the Capital City nine from Salem In a double-header at the "Vaughn-street grounds for Sunday afternoon. It Is several years since a Salem team has been listed In a league with Portland and many of the fans will welcome the opportunity of seeing what caliber of talent the Capital City has turned out on this occasion. The last time Salem Invaded Port land was In the old Oregon State League, which will be remembered as a skyrocket or "Fourth of July" league. as It hardly lasted longer than Inde pendence Day. Several good ball toss- ers were developed In that league, for "Colly" Druhot, now with Indianapolis; Ennon Callff, with Aberdeen; "Rough- Neck Higglnbotham, of the St. Louis Nationals, and several other players of note cavorted around the diamond for either Salem, Albany or Eugene In that circuit. It will also be remembered that it was during the life of that league that "Pop" Derrick first gained fame as an umpire when he appeared on the diamond In a "monkey suit," consist ing of a flaring red coat and a green striped cap. However, It might be mentioned that the Trl-City League has no such gaily bedecked umpires for which we are sincerely thankful. The Salemites trimmed the East Slders In a game at Salem last Sun day, but Hal Pomeroy's stalwarts be lieve that they have the goods with which to take a double revenge on the chesty Salem bunch. At any rate "Lanky" Harry Gardner will slab H for the "Triple TM in the opening of the bargain matinee, and If he Is right he should give "Lefty" Hull, the ex Kelso star now with Salem, a splendid argument for the twirling honors. Keddy Hurlburt will fUng 'em over for the bunch across the creek In the sec ond game, while the Solon outfit will place their confidence In the curves and ability of Jermaln, a clever col legian now with Manager Myers club. Steve Salnpolis will make his debut as an umpire in these games. Steve will be remembered as the exceeding ly tali young brother of the former Idol of the matinee girls at the Baker Theater several seasons ago. Steve Is said to be a classy Judge of the Na tional game. Tomorrow afternoon Jack Helser's AlMna Tourists will engage the East Side team In a regularly scheduled con test, which will likely prove one of the most interesting games of the season. The rivalry between the two "Over-the-River" clubs Is Intense and a good game Is In prospect. STILL AFTER FLEET Strenuous Efforts to Bring the Battleships Here. LOCAL CLUBS AT WORK Tans! Tans! Tans! at Rosenthal's. Pressure Is Brought to Bear on An thoritles at Washington, Who Have Control of Itinerary, Ac-. cording to Thomas. Great effort !s being made by the Rose Festival and the Commercial Club to se cure some of the battleships of the great Atlantic fleet here for the celebration to be held the entire nrst week of June. Considerable correspondence has taken place between the festival officials and the authorities at Washington in regard to the matter within the past week or ten days, and within the next two weeks ef forts will be made to enlist the Influence of as many Senators from other states as Is possible. President C. W. Hodson, of the Com mercial Club. Is now In 'Washington in the interest of Portland's claim to recog nition by the Federal Government, and he is being beideged by numberless tele grams, as Is United - States Senator Bourne, with i. view of having the recent order of Secretary Metcalf modified. Last week the following letter was sent to Admiral Evans. In command of the fleet, asking him to send a considerable detail of the battleship squadron to Port land for the Festival. Letter to Admiral Evans. April IB. lf8. Robley T. Evsne, Ad miral Amricwi Navy, puo Roble, CJ. Dar Sir: When your fleet arrives In Pan Francisco Bay. a ffpeclal envoy from the Portland Rose Festival will sreet the com-mmvnder- and extend special Invitations for officers and crews to vlult Portland during our next grand Annual Roue Carnival, June 1 to 6, l&OS, and participate In the festivi ties There will be four beautiful daylight parades and four gorgeous, brilliant, daz zling and spectacular illuminated parades, of which the water pageant wilt be one in which we desire your launches In harbor to assist.

Hutchln, General Manager; Bury I. Iasent, Secretary. White mo re Receives Reply. The only reason that Admiral Evans was " appealed to he being confined to his bed at the Pas Robles hot baths and in no condition personally to execute the movements of the fleet was that it had been given out by Senator Bourne that the Itinerary of the squadron was a matter over which Admiral Evans had exclusive jurisdiction, that he could send none or all of the battleships to Portland just as he desired. The foregoing letter was referred by Admiral Evans to Rear-Admiral Thomas, now in command of the fleet, and he sent the following reply to President White more of the Rose Festival y San Pedro. Cal.. April 2ZZ. Chester A. Whitemore. President Portland Rose Festi val. Portland, Or.: Impossible to visit Port land, itinerary is ordered from Washington. Aftr May 29 the ships will be at the Navy yard, docking and preparing for the cruise to Australia. THOMAS. Immediately upon receipt of this mes sage, the Rose Festival officials sent a series of dispatches fo President Hodson of the Commercial Club at the St. James Hotel, In Washington and also to Senator Bourne. informing them that Rear Admiral Thomas had said that Washing ton was directing the movement of the fleet and not the flag officer In active command. These representations will be made to Secretary Metcalf and to Presi dent Roosevelt with the hope that the original order may be so changed that at least a portion of the fleet of battleships may come to Portland during the first week of June. Citizens Urged to Act. President Whitemore further urges that every Portland citizen who is a native of any other state In the Union send a tele gram to the United States Senator rep resenting the state of his birth, bidding for the Senator's influence In behalf of SQUARE PRICES Style 552 Men's patent colt blucher oxfords, "flat iron" last, regimental heels. $3.50 Nothinc fancy about our prices.

We have 400,000 acres of the finest hardwood timber grown, MAHOGANY, LIGNUM VITAE, BALSAM C0P0EBA, MANGROVE, OAK and CEDAR. This timber just costs the company 20 cents per thousand feet, and when milled into lumber has a value of $100 to $400 per thousand. The Northwestern Exploration & Development Company has just closed a deal by which they take over this immense body of timber, and we will put in a mill and manufacture and market this very valuable lumber. In order to secure the necessary capital to install a mill of sufficient capacity, the Board of Directory has decided to sell a limited amount of its stock at 20 Qents per share, par value $1.00. Conservatively estimated, each 20 cents invested in a share of this stock is secured by 1000 feet of standing timber, which has an intrinsic value of not less than $100. There is not a commercial enterprise in the whole world which offers you such valuable security for your investment as this. These are facts and can be proven to your satisfaction. If you have money to invest, do it now. Here is a chance to secure a remunerative income on a small investment. Stock sold in blocks of 100 shares and upwards. ' .

Portland, the second greatest seaport on the Pacific Coast. If there is anything like a general co-operation in this plan, it is thought more than (likely that some of the battleships of the American Navy will be sent to this port. Yesterday afternoon the Rose Festival executive committee let a contract for the decoration of a court of honor for the Festival, to cover the two blocks on Sixth street from the Union Depot to Irving street, where the city's "Arch of Welcome" is to be erected and beyond that to the intersection of Hoyt street, the scheme of ornamentation to be In the form of "pilons," one of the most effec tive and picturesque classes of decoration known and entirely new to Portland. This scheme of decoration work will be begun within the next few days and it is expected that the city will let the contract for the civic arch before the fh-st of next month. Mayor Lane has assured the Festival Association that he has no feel ing of personal opposition to the arch, although he vetoed the measure and that he will do what he can from this time on to see that the improvement is begun and completed in time for the June festivities. Need Funds for Arch. The blocks in question on Sixth street from the Union Depot south will be used aa a court of honor for most of the formal functions of the Festival.. The time Is now so short that unless the Executive Board takes favorable action at Its meet- lng today and cuts a considerable amount of the red-tape that entwines the ordi nary appropriation of the city's funds, the arch will be delayed far beyond the date of the opening of the Rose Festival. The main question involved, according to the architect, is whether the staff material, of which the structure ts to be made, will dry sufficiently to enable the builders to properly decorate it by the opening of the Festival. Several sets of plans for decorating 13 blocks on Fast Bumside street. Grand avenue and 3ast Morrison street for the Festival parade, together with the cost, have been submitted to the executive committee of the Fast Side Business Men's Club. C. A. Biglow, . president, said yesterday that the prices are reason able. Other plans are expected to come in and the contract will only be awarded after all plans have been inspected and one. set approved. Mr. Biglow reported yesterday that there were prospects that the fraternal and industrial parade may also- come to the Bast Side. A repre sentative of the committee having that affair in charge called on him yesterday to ascertain if the parade was desired, and Mr. Biglow assured him that it cer tainly was. It will come Saturday, June 6. if the necessary arrangements are made. Multnomah Camp No. 77, Woodmen of the World, which has 1400 members, will take part on the night of June 4, with the school children, W. W. Minar. J. M. Woodruff and James Rudiman are a committee from the camp to make ar rangements. The camp has just received new uniforms, which will be used for the first time publicly at the parade.
