TQWNSEND COMING TODAY
.TELEGKAPHS THAT HE WILL
ARRIVE FROM SPOKANE.
'Will Institute Suit In Behalf of Gov
ernment to Recover Railroad
Land Grant.
B. D. Townsend, special assistant to
the Attorney-General, yesterday tele
graphed Judge Becker from Spokane
that he will arrive in Portland this
morningr. The purpose of Mr. Town
Bend's visit to the Pacific Coast at this
time is to institute suit against the
Oregon California Railroad Company
In the famous land-grant case. In this
Important litigation, which the Attorney-General
was authorized to bring,
Jlr. Townsend will be associated -with
Judse Becker in prosecuting the case
for the Government.
Mr. Townsend visited Oregon over a
year ago and gathered much Important
evidence pertaining to the case
which was submitted to Attorney-General
Bonaparte. That official took the
matter up with Congress which di
rected him to bring such proceedings
as might be deemed necessary to se
cure for the Government Its full rights.
It cannot be learned what sort of suit
will be brought; whether an attempt
will bo made to force the railroad cor
poration to dispose of all the lands at
$2.50 an acre as required under the
terms of the grant, or whether the
Government will demand that the grant
be declared canceled by reason of a
violation of its conditions on the part
of the railroad.
Mr. Townsend left Washington about
a month ago, when it was announced
that he would come direct to Oregon.
There has been an air of mystery sur
rounding his whereabouts in the mean
time. Local Government officials de
clare that for two weeks prior to yes
terday's telegram they had no inform
ation concerning the overdue special
assistant to the Attorney-General.
Looking Over Business Conditions.
W. Vt. Broughton, traffic manager for
the Great Northern,' will reach Portland
this morning for a short stay to look over
business conditions. H. M. Adams, gen
eral frieght and passenger agent for the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway,
and William Harder, general agent here
for the Great Northern, went up the line
yesterday to meet Mr. Broughton and ac
company him to Portland.
SENATOR CbMES SECOND
McCue Thinks First Duty of Legis
lature Is Enacting Laws.
"I think -the members of the House
of Representatives would make a mis
take in attempting to organize the
House on Statement No. 1 or anti
Statement No. 1 lines," said John C.
McCue, Representative-elect from Clat
sop County, and probable candidate for
Speaker, last night in discussing the
organization of the Legislature next
Winter. "In my opinion the election
of a Senator la a secondary considera
tion. The great Interests of the state
demand the enactment of legislation
to meet its needs. The Senatorial fight
should not be allowed to enter Into
the organization of either branch of
the Legislature. So far as the ques
tion of a pledge is concerned" in the
election of Senator, the Legislator
elect should be governed by his own
individual conscience." -
Mr. McCue was a member of the laet
Legislature and at the June election
ran for re-election on a platform
pledging himself to Bupport Senator
C. W. Fulton first, last and all the
time. He was elected without any ef
fort. While Mr. McCue expects to be
an active candidate for Speaker, he
will not begin a thorough canvass in
the interest of his candidacy until aiter
his return from Dallas, Tex., where he
goes next week to attend the Grand
Lodge of Elks.

TALK OPEN RIVER TONIGHT
MEETING WILL BE HELD AT
COMMMERCIAIj CLUB.
Cheaper Transportation to Territory
Supplied by Portland Jobbers
Object of Campaign. -
Plans to open the upper river, will be
considered et a meeting tonight in the
main parlors of the Portland Commercial
Club. Members of the club will gather
to consider the question and there will be
a thorough discussion of ways and means
to bring about better water transporta
tion into the interior. It is hoped that an
agitation will be started that will accom
plish much along this line.
Members of the Commercjal Club are
business men directly interested in the
improvement of the waterways leading to
Portland and in taking up the subject
they are working in their own Interests,'
it is pointed out. Cheaper transportation
to the large distributive territory served
by Portland Jobbers is the great goal
toward which the business interests of
the city and state and the tributary
country in neighboring states are work
ing. Just what steps will be taken to
night to bring about the opening of the
rivers Is not yet known but the subject
will be discussed fully and a plan prob
ably worked out that will result in better
water transportation throughout the in
terior. The meeting tonight will be called to
or3er at S o'clock. The committee in
charge of the gathering is made up of
the following well-known club members:
Henry Hahn, S. M. Mears, T. D. Honey
man, O. M. Scott, Herman Wittenberg,
W. H. Corbett, L. A. Lewis, A. H.
Devers, C. F. Adams, I J. Wentworth

from church when their rig was struck
and overturned by an outbound South
Tenth street car. Fair and Walton, both
of whom are old men, were thrown into
the gutter and sustained serious injuries
about the head and shoulders. Walton
will recover, but Fair is subject to heart
failure and It is feared that the shock
will prove fatal. Doctors tonight declared
the patient's condition precarious. The
late James G. Fair left his brother $50,000
in his will.

FISHER GIVEN GOLD MEDAL
President of Travelers' Protective
Association Is Honored.
As large in point of attendance as
any this year was the regular quar
terly meeting of the Travelers' Pro
tective Association at the Commercial
Club Saturday night. A number of Im
portant matters were discussed.
President Willis Fisher and Secre-.
tary J. C. Gibson provided a complete
surprise to the members of the Asso
ciation in the form of music and re
freshments. An interesting feature of
the meeting was the presentation by
W. B. Glafke to President Fisher of a
handsome gold medal. This was cent
from the National office of the T. P. A.
in recognition 'of the unusual growth
in membership of the local branch
during the Incumbency of President
Fisher. A great deal of enthusiasm
was aroused by the announcement that
C. p. Frazer, a member of the local
organization, had been elected vice
president of the National association.
Mr. Frazer is attending the meeting
of the National association at the
present time.
President Fisher outlined plans for
establishing permanent headquarters
of the association in this city. The
plans call for the leasing of one or
more floors in a down-town building
which will be equipped to suit the
traveling men.

Mexican Raves . About
"Mucho Dinero
Innnne Boarder at the County Jail
Thinks Dins Sent Him Five Checks,
and Tells About Them in Castillan
Tongue.
UCHO dinero! Mucho dinerol
Mucha siesta! Muchas casas!
Cinco cheques del Presldente de Mejlco!
To no qulero dinero!"
Beating the air with his arms In Imita
tion of an aggressive political orator,
Leislo Lona entertained the lodgers at
Sheriff Stevens' free boarding-house all
day Sunday and Monday with a rambling
discourse, of which the above is only the
introduction. The Mexican believes that
the President of Mexico has sent him a
large sum of money, five checks, and in
his ravings builds air castles, with
"puertas, ventanas, muchas ventanas, y
porticos."
He informs his fellow-boarders that he
does not speak "Ingles," but asserts in
Spanish that he tried to. cash the Ave
checks In Olympia, Wash. As a result,
he says, he was placed in jail. "Yo no
trabajo. Yo tengo dinero, cinco mil,
diecisiete pesos." I do not work, I have
money, J3017, he says. After being ex
amined yesterday noon, he was sent to
the asylum.

It ought to be worth something to you to be able to get absolutely fresh, city
dressed, home-grown meats these warm days. You get them at any of Smith's
three markets. Meat that is brought to the city in ice-cars from other parts
of the country, and then placed in cold storage until some butcher takes them
to his market, cannot taste the same, cannot give you health and strength like
the sweet, fresh, wholesome Oregon meats dressed in Smith's city abattoir.
