and blue Incandescent lights, covered
one entire wall and lent a brilliant
dash of color to the ensemble. Many

BANKS READY TO REPORT
Portland Institutions Have Iess De
posits, bnt More Depositors.
. Calls for reports to the Controller of the
Currency are expected any day by the
Portland National banks. More than the
usual 70 days have elapsed since the last
call but this is generally accounted for
ty the retirement of William B. Ridgely
ns Controller and the appointment of
Lawrence O. Murray. It is expected that
Ithe new Controller will Issue a call at
ones in order to familiarize himself with
the condition of almost 7000 National
banks which he controls.
As far as Portland National banks go,
the information that will be asked for
within a short, time, it is believed, will
phow that deposits have shrunken some
what, although the banks are recovering
In fine shape from the money tightness of
last Fall. Although it will not appear In
the statements. It is a fact that the
local banks have more . depositors than
ver before, showing confidence in the
financial Institutions.
Current business is not up to normal for
his season and the people are drawing on
the money received for last year's crop.
This accounts for smaller deposits. The
lumber business, which is usually at its
tipst during the Spring months, is very
aull, due to the controversy between the
rnilroads and the lumbermen over rates.
This is one of the biggest items tn the
business of this section and the falling
off in the total deposits Is largely at
tributable to this cause.
WRITES ABOUT CHAMPOEG
Correspondent Calls Historic Spot
tlie "Western Plymouth Rock.
PORTLAND, April 30. (To the Editor.)
at is hoped that Portland will be well
represented today at Champoeg. This will
be the 66th anniversary of the real found
ing of Oregon and this was the birth of
the first civil government in American
territory west of the Rocky Mountains.
The sole survivor of that pivotal as well
as eventful day, Hon. F. X. Matthieu,
will be present at Champoeg, to give the
glad hand of welcome to all who go
thither.. If there are strangers in Uie city
who would like a day's outing, they can
not do better than to go on this expe
dition. While it perhaps will be possible
to secure refreshments on the grounds,
yet all who go from Portland should be
prepared with luncheons.
The trip may be made as follows: First,
by boat, leaving the foot of Taylor street
at 6:45 A. M., going through the locks
to Champoeg; and returning, leave Cham
poeg for Portland at 4 P. M. Those in
Salem desiring to attend should take the
boat there at 6 A. M. for Champoeg, and
the boat on the return trip to Salem will
leave Champoeg at 4 P. M. Second
All desiring to take the electric line,
either at Portland or Salem, should take
the cars not later than 9:05 A. M. in Port
land at the corner of Front and Jefferson
streets, and in Salem a short distance
west of the Courthouse and this will
bring both north and south-bound cars
to Wllsonvllle at 11 A. M., and thus make
connection with the boat from Portland
on the way to ' Champoeg. Returning
from Champoeg the boat will take all the
passengerB that came on the cars back
to Wllsonvllle to connect with the cars
for the return trip to the starting point;
whether it be Salem or Portland.
All who desire meals on the boat from
either point will be accommodated.
It is hoped that some action will be
taken at this meeting having in view the
acquisition of a larger tract of land
than Is now owned by the state at this
point, and making a park. A more im
posing monument should mark this his
toric spot a monument commensurate
with the important event it celebrates
and the surroundings should be made at
tractive. This In a sense is the Plymouth
Rock of the Pacific Coast. G. HL
OFFICIALS. FINISH TRIP
A. T. Charlton Tells of Fine Crop
Prospects in Inland Empire. '
C. M. Levey, third vice-president, and
A. D. Charlton, assistant general pas
senger agent of' the Northern Pacific

theirs being the first train to pass over
the new bridge. From Lewiston they in
spected the new line from Lewiston to
Grangeville.
Mr. Charlton said yesterday that the
trip was full of Interest and that he
found evidences in the Inland Empire and
Palouse country ot heavy crops in prospect,-
both in grain and fruits. Lewiston

this year, he said, and in the grain dis
tricts there never was a brighter outlook
for a tremendous crop.
He said It is likely the new road will
be opened for business June 1.
Rock Island's New Connections.
Through a recent arrangement the
Rock Island system has extended Its
direct connections by arranging the rout
ing of freight and passenger trafTic over
the Colorado Southern and New Orleans
& Pacflc lines. This adds something like

of the system. The new mileage is in a
triangle, with Dallas. . Texas, the apex.
The local office has been advised of the
addition to the service.

NORTHWESTERN EXPLORATION AP TD DEVELOPMENT CO.
Buy now and get in at rock bottorrr r ce2Oc per share
Our stock is being taken up with surprising rapidity. ' The millionaire, the merchant, the doctor,
the lawyer, the mechanic, are all buying it. Why not you? do it now. We want to hear the
hum of the wheels of our mUl within a few months, then tt ie shipping of our lumber, and then the
income. Will you be one of the lucky ones to share in the j Oft fits? $100 invested now will give you
a life income. . j
I can positively convince you that there is no better iny&st anent on the present market than the
one here offered. 1 r
Think of it! Four billion feet of high-priced, hardwo )d, i merchantable timber, located on the
Coast, accessible and easily logged, on good, wide, tidewater ; rivers.
The market for every foot of this vast tract is already es? tablished, and the profits will be enor
mous. Ten million feet per year can be sold in the iinmedravrjcinity of our plant. This one market
guarantees a net profit of 30 per cent on the entire inveiitm mt, and represents but a small propor
tion of our output.
This large tract of timber is located on the.Pacific Coast, . ;where we have the best shipping facili
ties to any port in the world available.
The timber consists principally of the highest-priced v.oods used in the manufacture of pianos,
hotel fixtures, shipbuilding, railroad and electric cars, he use- and office trimmings, furniture, and
many other indispensable wood commodities.
The w6ods co VITAE, .EBONY, CEDAR, ROSEWOOD, OAK,
RUBBER, BALSAM, COPOEBA, C0C0B0LA.
The net price of this valuable tract of timber is less Vhiin 20 PER THOUSAND FEET and
most of it finds a ready market at prices ranging from $1 0i to $400 per thousand. '
The LIGNUM VITAE is in great demand, and marketaeat more than $1000 per thousand feet.
. The Board of Directors of the Northwestern Exploration & Development Co., which controls this
timber, has authorized me to sell a limited number of share; 3 of its stock at 20 per share (par value
$1.00), for the purpose of installing a plant of sufficient sizi 3 f;0 meet the demands of the market.
I have on exhibition at my office samples ot wood (highly polished), cut from this tract; also
cruisers' reports and other data, which will convince at 012a & the most skeptical of the wonderful
money-making resources of this enterprise. -
Call or write and secure subscription blanks. Do not d elay, or you may miss the opportunity
of a lifetime. . -
I have received numerous requests for evening appoint? ; nents from persons interested in this
investment. During the balance of this week, my office w i q be open from 7:00 until 9:00 P. M.

ment Sunday was a matter of consider
able satisfaction. During the last year,
110 cars have been added to the equip
ment of the company, both open and
closed, which Mr. Josselyn thinks Is
sufficient to handle Sunday, and holi
day crowds this Summer. Twenty-five
more cars will be ready for delivery
in September.
President Josselyn ha prepared an
other bulletin-Jfor publication, which is
to be printed Sunday, giving further
advice and instruction to passengers
on the cars of his line and to persons
afoot. He received a letter yesterday
from Franklin I. Fuller, vice-president
and general manager of the company,
who Is on a trip to Eastern cities. In
his letter Mr. Fuller says: 'Judging
from what I have seen of the street
car systems of San Francisco, Denver,
Chicago, Columbus, Philadelphia, New
York and Boston, we have nothing to
be ashamed of In Portland." Mr. Jos
selyn Is to be In St. Louis when Mr.
Fuller is on his way home, and the two
officials will have a conference re
garding the manager's observations on
his trip.
ALLOWS SHOOTING IN CITY
Ordinance Gives Gun Club Rights in
South Portland.
Councilman Annand yesterday after
noon secured passage by the Council, at
its special session, of an ordinance grant
ing permission to the members of the
Multnomah Rod and Gun Club to shoot
clay pigeons at a point In South Portland,
near Rohse's Park, on the river bank.
Owing to the fact that there is a very
strong general law on the city's statute
books forbidding any person to discharge
fire-arms within the city limits, it is
believed that the action of the Council
yesterday is illegal and that Mayor Lane
will veto the measure.
City Attorney Kavanaugh was asked
as to the effect of the action of the Coun
cil, and replied that. In his opinion, the
ordinance, which was passed yesterday
afternoon, is illegal and of r.o effect. He
said it would undoubtedly be classed as
special legislation and would, therefore,
not hold in law.

PUN BANQUET FOR AO MEN
COAST ADVERTISERS MEET
HERE DURING FESTIVAL.
Gorgeous Decorations Will Convince
Californlans That Portland
Is City of Roses.
Arrangements for the annual banquet
of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's
Association, which will be held In the
banquet hall of the new Commercial Club
building during the next convention, the
first week of June, have practically been
completed. The convention will be one
of the features of the Rose Festival and
assurance has been given that the entire
State of California will be represented
with large delegations, as will Spokane,
Seattle, Tacoma. Walla Walla and every
other important city in the Northwest.
Portland secured the convention as the
result of the strong representation made
by local delegates at the convention held
at Sacramento, last Winter.
According to plans as now devised the
banquet hall on Monday night, June 1,
will be decorated and embellished with
many thousands of roses of every variety
and color, and the banquet board itself
will be decorated in a way that Portland
has never seen heretofore. The plan is
to show the Californlans, who are coming
here In great strength, that Portland has
more and better roses than the Southern
state, and to this end, artists will work
out a scheme of floral decoration that
will convince the visiting delegates that
Portland's contention is well founded.
Today being May day, the beginning of
a new month, and with only one month
of preparation for the numberless events
of the festival embodied in the week's
programme, the various standing com
mittees have been notified by the manage
ment that actual work must now begin
and be continued until the grand celebra
tion is opened.
The committee in charge of the horse
and carriage parade Is already taking up
the matter of arousing the interest of
every lover of horse-flesh in Portland,
of every member of the Portland Hunt
Club and every other horse-owner with a
view of making the floral decorated
vehicle parade the most gorgeous street
pageant ever undertaken in the West.

The City Council. In special session yes
terday afternoon, voted unanimously to
extend to the citizens of Rose City Park
the privilege of settling the question of
annexation to Portland at the June elec

to a petition of the people living in a
small section of Montavllla which is not

districts which will vote on this matter,
as Mount Scott residents have been ex
