RECEPTION FOR - JURIST Honor of Chairman Devolves on W. H. Holmes, of Salem, in Absence of Governor Chamberlain. At th Helllfc Theater tonight. Judge . Alton B. Parker, uiwuccessf ul Demo . cratic candidate for President In 1904, will open the Presidential campaign In Oregon iy delivering an address In support of ' William Jennings Bryan. This event will be the occasion for the gathering of the braves from all sections to see that the Bryan third-time boom Is launched properly. Having planned an energetic campaign to be conducted throughout the state, the men in charge of the programme of the minority party will make a special effort to start the work with enthusiasm.' Jurist Comes Today. Judge Parker will arrive in Portland from San Francisco at 7:16 o'clock this morning and probably will spend two davs in this-city before going to Seattle where he will attend the annual meeting of the American Bar Associalon the lat ter part of the month. The distinguished Jurtat will be met at the depot by a re ception committee which has made pre vision for his entertainment while in the city. The members of this .committee are: F. V. Holman. chairman; T. O. Greene, John M. Gearln, and C. K. Hen ry, of this city; State Senator J. B. Hedges, of Oregon City; Dan J. Fry. of Salem; S. M. Garland, of Lebanon, and Lark Bilyeu, of Eugene. In the absence of Governor Chamber Iain, who to at Klamath Falls conferring with E. H. Harrlman. the committee has asked W. H. Holmes, of Salem, to preside as chairman and introduce Judge Par ker tonight. The services of a band have been engaged and the addresses at the Heillg tonight will be interspersed with selections from that organization. There also will be other music Bell to Be Present. Among the other out-of-town notable members of the party who la expected to grace the occasion with his presence Is Congressman Theodore A. Bell, of Cali fornia, who served as temporary chair man of the Democratic National conven tion at Denver. Congressman Bell re cently attended the National Aerie of Eagles at Seattle, and for several days has been delivering addresses in the State of Washington in behalf of the Democratic Presidential nominee. It is not likely that he will take part in the speechmaklng tonight, the committee having decided to give all of the time to Judge Parker who has a wide reputation as a platform orator. An effort will be made by the Democratic State Central Committee to induce the California Con gressman to return later in the campaign and address the voters of Portland. National Committeeman M. A. Miller, State Chairman Alex Sweek and State Secretary J. B. Ryan already have es tablished Democratic headquarters In the Merchants Trust building. Sixth end Washington streets, and through the county central committeemen are unfold ing the details of a campaign which will surpass all other attempts to annex Ore gon to the. Democratic column. . Precinct organizations will be formed in every pre cinct in the 34 counties. She Likes Good Things Mrs. Chaa. K. Smith, of West Frank lin.

Sources of Supply and Arfects Nearby Territory. Beginning today, the price of lumber throughout the city will be tilted by the different mills about 10 per cent. The advance Includes all kinds of lumber, from common rough to the most expen sive finishing materials. All the local mill are marking up the price lists, the reason for the advance being as signed to the better demand for Ore gon fir In the Eastern market and the improved outlook for the industry. The advance is a sweeping one, in that it Includes all local sources of sup ply and affects the nearby territory supplied from Portland. It Is under stood that export prloea and the tariffs on lumber shipped to the East and Middle West will remain the same for the present. Common rough lumber, which has been selling for $9 a thousand feet, will now be 10. There is a general advance all along the line, most of the rougher grades being increased $1 per thousand, while on the higher grades the advance has been even larger In proportion. On the whole, the raise will average at least 10 per cent. The lumber industry In this state, which has been In the doldrums for the past four month, shows great improve ment. Four months ago there was no demand in the East for Oregon fir, but today all Portland mills are loaded with orders and. with the constant increase in the demand from the East, manufac turers are turning their attention from the local field to the Eastern markets and are not nursing the retail trade here to the extent they have been, while the Eastern market have been dormant. . Lumber manufacturers of tire city are jubilant over the better tone of the market and the activity of the Oregon lumber trade in the East. SAFE OPENED BY BUNGLERS Cracksmen Arouse Neighborhood and Get Nothing. Bungling safeblowers, equipped with chisels, a sledge hammer and nitro glycerine, wrecked a big steel safe at the Cudahy Packing Company place. East Second and Washington ' streets, early yesterday morning. They used so heavy a charge of explosive that the report was heard half a dozen blocks away and the robbers left without get ting anything for their work. Buildings were shaken for a distance of four blocks by the concussion antf suddenly awakened people thought a boiler In the depot yards must have ex ploded. Half a dozen policemen were at the place In a few minutes and made careful search of the building and sur roundings. But the safeblowers did not return. - The office was practically wrecked and the safe rendered useless. Enough ex plosive was used to blow open half a dozen safes In the scientific way of the experienced professional. With a sledge and chisels an aperture was made In the edge of the outer steel door and this must have been filled with nitro glycerine. Furniture and walls were damaged by the explosion.

ANSWER IS TO BE FILED Judge O'Day Declares Man Was Never Legally Married to Woman Who Poses as First Wife. Alleging that the woman who rep resents herself as his first wife. Mrs. Louise Powell-Stevens, has failed to comply with the terms of the contract she made with him, T. M. Stevens will resist vigorously her suit for an al leged breach of that agreement. Mr. Stevens has employed Judge Thomas O'Day and will file an answer to Mrs. Stevens' complaint either tomorrow or Thursday, when the time for replying to the allegations expires. "Mr. Stevens never was legally married to the woman who now poses as his first wife," declared Judge O'Day yesterday. "She claims to have been married to Mr. Stevens In Canada, when, as a matter of fact, he has never been In Canada. The fact is that Mrs. tStevens has been treated with con sideration by my client and was by no means turned out penniless. At the time the contract, which Is the baslB of the pending suit, was entered into the woman received money and a mortgage of the value of $25,000. The conditions of the contract were met by Mr. Stev ens until the woman violated her part of the agreement, as we expect to be able to show when the suit comes up for trial. We shall disprove tne woman's contention that she ever was married to Mr. Stevens regularly and. not haviag been married, it certainly would not be necessary to show that a divorce was secured." A. E. Clark, counsel for Mrs. Stevens No. 1, Intimated that the more vigor ously the 3uit for breach of contract was resisted, the more sensational would be the disclosures respecting the marital relations of Mr. Stevens at the trial. He gave assurance that the family history of the parties to the suit would be aired thoroughly. "When Stevens signed the agreement of separation," said Attorney Clark, "he admitted that Mrs. Stevens was his wife, and before he gets through with this case ho will discover that it is not such an easy matter to discard at his pleasure the woman who for 16 years he has proclaimed as his wife." Lelshmann Settles Title. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. Ambassa dor Leishman cabled the State Depart- ment today that, after much effort, he has succeeded in settling a matter that i had be,en pending for several years in relation to the transfer of property to be used as a site for the American Col lege for Girls at Constantinople. Under this settlement the title of the site will i be transferred to the name of Secre- ! tary Barton of the American Board of . Ministers. BLACK GOODS SALE.
