PARKER OUE TODAY
Former Presidential Candidate
Will Open Campaign.
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. Maine, says: "I like good things
and have adopted Dr. Kings New Life
Pills as our family laxative medicine,
because they are good and do their
work without making a fuss about it "

MILLS RAISE PRICES
Ten- Per Cent Increase in
Rates on Lumber.
BRISK DEMAND IN EAST
Sweeping Advance Includes' All Lo
cal. 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.
Prices talk at Rosenthal's shoe gala.
STEVENS TO RESIST
Lively Proceedings Promised,
in Local Court.
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."
