TOURISTS III CITY
Big Brooklyn Party Spends
Day in Portland.
ON TOUR OF NORTHWEST
Visitors Are Guests of Commercial
tiub for Trolley Ride to Near-
by Points of Interest Ad
mire Council Crest.
A party consisting of 1W representative
business men of Brooklyn, N. Y.. accom
panied by their wives and families, ar
rived in Portland at 7:30 o'clock yester
day morning in their special train of nine
cars, spending the day in Portland, and
leaving for Tacoma at .11:30 o'clock last
night. The party is traveling under the
auspices of the New Tork Central Ball
road." W. C Seachrest, North Paclflo
Coast Agent of the New Tork Central
lines, met the party at Ashland and will
accompany It as far as Spokane on the
return trip. The excursion left Brook
lyn on July 3 and will reach home on Au
gust 1. after having; visited the principal
points in California and the Pacific
Northwest, and Yellowstone Park. The
trip is being made under the direction of
T. W. Meyer, a prominent merchant of
'Brooklyn.
During the day the members of the
party made their headquarters at the Ore
gon Hotel, where at R o'clock a com
mittte of the New York State Society

them to the city. The committee was
composed of the following:

from the travelers. The members of the
entire party inspected the new quarters
of the Commercial Club at the conclusion

ID ABATE WATER SHORTAGE
PLAXS MADE TO DIVIDE MOUNT
SCOTT DISTRICT.
Present Supply Inadequate to Meet
Demands of Steadlly-Grow-v
lng Suburbs.
The plan to abate the water shortage
In the Mount Scott district Is to divide
the district served by the Woodmere
Water Company into four sections, as
nearly equal as can be done, and then
each district may use water for Irriga
tion for one hour, beginning In one
district and passing on through air
four, so that the whole district is not
drawing water at the same time. Peo
ple living along the Foster road, near
the larger main, are asked to limit
their use of water. A special commit
tee, appointed at the mass meeting Fri
day night, will arrange for this di
vision with George Brown, president
of the company. The success of this
plan depends on the co-operation of all
the people, and a few can defeat K alto
gether by refusing to comply. It Is a
temporary arrangement, to tide over
the shortage during the hot weather.
As soon as the season for Irrigation
ceases, there will be water for domestic
purposes for all.
An effort will be made to get another
vote on annexation this Fall. If a vote
could be had now, it Is thought annexa
tion would carry, but with the return
of cool weather the water shortage
ceases, and the people forget about
their troubles, and may vote against
annexation. It Is stlmated that 300
new houses are being built along the
Mount Scott line, between the Powell
Valley road and Lents, mostly, but not
all, tributary to the "Woodmere Water
Company. George Brown, president ot
the local water company, says he will
not expend more money in enlarging
hia plant, for he thinke the district will
be annexed to Portland In the near
future, and the money spent would be
wasted.
The Woodmere Water Company sup
plies only about one-third of the people
in the Mount . Scott district, and the
other two-thirds are supplied by the
Lentq Water Company, the Woodstock
and private water plants. If this big
district is annexed to Portland, fully
15,000 people must be supplied with
Bull Run water aa coon as the mains
can be laid into the district, and, con
sidering the present growth of that
section, no main less than a 25-inch
pipe would be worth while laying into
the district. ,
Concerning Novels.
GLADSTONE PARK. July 19. (To the
Editor.) In the forward movement of
English fiction, we discern two likings, one
to -Idealise life, the other to report life as
It Is. They who have the flrt preference
are called romanticists, they who have the
ecpnd preference are called realists. The
Idealist dreams, the realist' sees. Some
times the Idealist has seemed to have the
ground, sometimes the realist. There are
different phases of the Ideal and also real.
Scott Is romantic, but his romanticism is
unlike that or Hawthorne. Dickens is a
realist, but not like Howells. The novel
in Defoe was simply a narrative of adven
ture, but now in the novel we have a given
form of composition to picture life rather
as it is In an artist lc way, to reveal the
relation of cause and effect with the de
velopment of character, to exhibit ingenuity
and dramatic interest in situation and plot
without transgressing probability and good
taste, to make ynity in the narrative, and
motives and Influences subordinate .to a cen
tral idea, to weave different threads into one
strand, to keep' subordination between under
persons and the hero, to refuse al side
tracks, and to honor the laws of climax.
The romantic English novelists are Richard
son, Fielding and Scott, &nd Jane Austen.
Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot. Troliope
and Reade are of the school of realism. But
in Stevenson there is an effort to return
to romanticism, but the old extravagances
cannot return, yet realism cannot afford to
shut Its eye entirely to the worth of the
ideal. B. J. HOADLEY.

LEAVE AFTER BRIEF VISIT
Tammany Men to Be Banqueted on
Return to. Portland.
Five . well-known ' New York poli
ticians and district leaders, accom
panied by Richard J. Couch, member of
a large trunk and leather firm of the
same city, left Portland yesterday for
Seattle, after spending the night at the
Portland Hotel. The party consisted of
John S. Whalln, Secretary of State:
Patrick J. Walsh, Supreme Court Jus
tice Newberger's secretary and well
known athlete; "Big Jim" Foley, a per
sonal friend of the Tammany leader,
Charles K.' Murphy; - James J. Hoey,
Assemblyman for the Thirteenth Dis
trict, and Municipal Court Clerk
Michael Skelly.
All of these men represent large po
litical interests in New York, and Mr.
Whalin was a delegate at the Denver
convention. Mr. Whalin is a compara
tively young man to hold the office
that he occupies. He was formerly
conected with a wholesale tobacco
house conducted by his father.
The party is expected to return to
Portland next Tuesday, at wTilch time
a banquet will be held In their honor
by local Democrats. They will then
visit various points of interest along
the Pacific Coast, after which they will
return to New York.
A SEW DISPAKTURK.
The cost of Interments has been greatly
reduced by the Hoi man Undertaking
Company.
Heretofore It has been the custom of
funeral directors to make charges for all
Incidentals connected with a funeral.- The
Edward Holman Undertaking Company,
the leading funeral directors of Portland,
have departed from that custom. Whan
casket is furnished by us we make no
extra charges for embalming, hearse to
cemetery, outside box or any services' that
may be required of us. except clothing,
cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a
saving of 125 to 175 on each funeral.

Medium Is Jubilant Over Action, for
Suit Against' Her Will
" 7 Probably Fail.
That the charges preferred against
Sophia B. Selp in the Circuit Court
by Green C. Love cannot be supported.
In view of action taken yesterday at
a meeting of the Ministers' and Me
diums' Protective Association, is the
statement made by Mrs. Selp. This
action, taken in open, meeting at the
Auditorium, was the rescinding of a
resolution signed by four of the offi
cers of the association, ousting Mrs.
Selp from membership. The resolu
tion was signed several weeks ago.
A number of delegates' elected to -the
state convention last year are- rein
stated in, the mediums' association by
yesterday's action of the body. '
According to Mrs. Selp's story of
the affair, which has culminated in
the suit to oust her and the delegates
from the National Spiritualists' Asso
ciation, Green C. Love, missionary,
went to ave members of the mediums'
association, asking them to sign a pa
per canceling the membership of the
delegates in the latter body because
Mrs. Selp had entertained John Slater
and conducted meetings, drawing . the
cash from the association. Mrs. Selp
explains that four of v the of fleers
signed the paper, not knowing Its ex
act nature, but that the fifth refused.
The mediums' association, being an
auxilllary of the state association, and
the latter having its charter under the
National.. body, Mr. Love brought ac
tion to oust the delegates from the
National body, to compel Mrs. Selp
to turn over the books which she holds
as president of the state body, and to
recover $2000 damages from her for
holding office illegally.
Mrs. Selp must appear In Judge
Bronaugh's department of the Circuit
Court, to show cause why she should
not be compelled to turn- over these
books. She asserts that Love's charges
have now fallen flat, and is . jubilant
over her victory. .
"Love has been stirring President
Warn, of the .latlonal association, up
to action," said she. "Love could, not
prove his charges against me before
Mr. Warne when he was here a few
weeks ago, so now he is trying It out
in court. He wires Mr. Warne this
and that, and when he receives & re
ply holds up his old telegram and
says, 'Here, I have authority to do
this or that.' He is but then, no mat
ter what he is. That will be seen
soon enough."
The delegates to the state convention,
elected by the mediums' association
last year, who In turn elected the
officers of the state association, are:
J. H. Lucas. Dr. Roscoe Coon. John
Slater, Lou Ellen Cornell, -Mrs. Fannie
Branch. -Mrs. Emma Campbell, Mrs. W.
J. Yoemans and Mrs. Sophia B. Selp.
Love's complaint names as defendants
Mrs. Selp, Virginia Howe, Mrs. Lou
Ellen Cornell, Mrs. F. M. Branch, Mrs.
Belle M. Havlland, Miss Jennie Werner
and Edwin King.
Love Is a member of the First Spir
itual Society, an auxiliary of the state
body, in common with the mediums'
association.
At yesterday s meeting Mrs. Lou El
len Cornell was elected secretary.
. Xo Scheme or Combination.
PORTLAND, Or., July 19. (To the
Editor.) The article in The Oregontan to
day, "Big Graft Planned. Ring Attempts to
Force the Mayor's Hand," does not cor
rectly deaarlbe the purpose for which thon
49 business chouses signed the petition now
in the hands of the city authorities. Hence
at this time public explanation seems im
perative. The first is that Sixth afreet ought
to be clean and of a first-class order, espe
cially so on acocunt of the travel between
the tTnton Depot and the heart ot our city.
Tenants on this street ought to be given
protection against the class whose place
is elsewhere. Our petition, which speaks
iui iLseiL, maaes no suggestions as to dis
positlon of those unfortunates and we know '
nothing of any scheme or combination
wherein we are an instrument to assemble
these dissolute women.

Once in a while comes a hot day when the aroma of the frying steak
seems too heavy and pronounced. The sizzling chop won't appeal te
you., Well, at Smith's you can find dozens of different cuts of meats which,
if given the correct method of cooking arid a little forethought, will tempt the
appetite and be eagerly relished these warm days. Is there anything better
than Eoast Beef sliced cold? It's delectable the year round. Smith can give
you Prime Eib Eoast Beef at lOc and 12y2c per pound. The Beef Trust mar
kets charge from 18c to 25c for the identical cuts. If you want cheaper cuts
of Beef you can have them at 6c, 7c and 8c. They are cheap in price only,
for the quality of Beef that Smith is serving nowadays is superb and cannot
be found outside of mith's four markets. We are selling Beef for soup at
3c per pound. It makes nourishing meat jellies. Corned Beef sliced cold is
a general favorite. Smith sells Plate Corned Beef and Brisket Corned Beef
at 6c per pound and Eump Corned Beef for 8c. Let us tell you of an appe
tizing tid-blt. Take a Brisket of Beef at 5c per pound or a neck of Beef at
5c per pound; cook slowly and when very tender put the meat through the
