WILL CANVASS EAST SIOE
BUSINESS MEX TO WORK FOR
ROSE FESTIVAL.
Association Also Hopes to Bring the
Liberty Bell to Pacific Coast
Xext Spring.
At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, the
hustlers of the East Side Business Men's
Club will buckle Into the harness and at
tempt to raise J.VW0 for the Rose Festival
fund. The committee representing this
organization covers more varied Interests
than the body of "pluggers" that got
out last year.' and their slogan Is to
"clean-up" before the end of the present
week. H. H. Newhall Is chairman of the
committee and he has associated with him
a coterie of the best enthusiasts of the
East Side. Among them are the fol
lowing: C. A. Bigelow. president of the
East Side Business Men's Club: George
Dilworth. E. Gellnsky. A. Gevurtz, G. T.
Atchley and W. K. Moilonles.
The entire business, mercantile, whole
sale and manufacturing section of the
East Side of the river will be allotted to
different members of this general finance
committee and the su-b-conrmlttes which
work .under them will be given a
certain district to cover In their canvass
for funds.
As one of the greatest drawing cards
that will probably be devised, the Rose
Festival Association has asked the Alas-ka-Yukon-Paclflc
Exposition people to
work hand-in-hand with them to secure
the "Liberty Bell" ae an attraction for
both the Rose Festival of the week or
June 7-12. Iii9. in this city and the big
Fair at Seattle.
The Festival people have sent a written
request to Director-General I. A. Nadeau.
of the Seattle fair to place the proposi
tion before the executive committee, and
to Inform the Festival as to the result
of its decision. The "Liberty Bell" is in
the custodianship of the municipal gov
ernment of the city of Philadelphia and
the great emblem and Insignia of Ameri
can Independence has left Its almost
sacred resting place only a very few
times since it rang out its world-wide
message 132 years ago.
It has never been west of Chicago, and
it Is anticipated by the Rose Festival
forces that only the most vigorous ef
forts on their part and on the part of
the Seattle Fair people will be able to
lure the great National treasure from Its
present abiding place, especially out to a
district so distant.
With a favorable answer from Seattle,
the Festival Association will at once take
up negotiations with the city government
of Philadelphia with a view to having
emancipation's grandest token sent to this
part of the country. It may be a difficult
thing to accomplish, for Philadelphia is
extremely Jealous of its charge, and
whenever the bell leaves its present rest
ing place It must be accompanied by a
special guard of honor appointed by the
civic authorities. They take full charge
of the famous relic. Under the arrange
ment suggested by the Festival, the ex
pense of bringing the Liberty Bell here
for one week and for another week at
Seattle is to be borne jointly by the two
cities

Xo Trouble A hoot Lincoln's Figure.
PORTLAND. Nov. 10. (To the Editor.)
The recent publication of articles treat
ing of the slavery question as It existed
in Oregon in the early days of the Civil
War. and The Oregonian s editorial upon
them, are timely and interesting. Is it
a fact that at the time the -Multnomah
Countv Courthouse was built the placing
over the entrance the face of Lincoln
rudely cut in stone met with vigorous
protest from the pro-slavery people of
Portland, and nearly caused a Hot among
them? If there Is an interesting story
in this connection, will you kindly give
your readers the benefit of it?
W. N. FERRIN.
There was no objection whatever to
placinff the head of Lincoln, cut In stone,
in the arch of the door of the Multnemah
County Courthouse. It was years after
the death of Lincoln, and. though a rude
attempt at art. it Is worthy of preserva
tion. The Oregonian has no knowledge
as to how any rumor could have arisen
that there was objection at the time the
figure was placed there. It could not
hare been possible.

No doubt the best popular price attrac
tion traveling on the Coast this season is

PORTIAXD, Nov. 10. (To the Editor.)
A case of would-be slavery in Oregon,
may. 1 thlDk. be cited still later than
those given in The Oregonian of this
date by "C. A. C."
As late as 1862 a man by the name of
Morgan, brother to the notorious rebel
raider, John Morgan, brought from Mis
souri a black boy to Linn County, where
the latter worked nearly two years for
the Morgans as a slave. He was kept
close in, doing housework much of the
time, but learning at length that he
could not be held as a slave In Oregon,
clipped away early one morning, going to
the farmhouse of James P. Hoag, father
of Harvey and Charles Hoag, near
Shedds. just south of Albany.
"Bob." for that was his name "Bob
Morgan" remained at Mr. Hoag s many
years, receiving just compensation for his
work, accumulating thereby several hun
dred dollars, which he foolishly took to
Albany, Invested in real estate at boom
prices, and lost all.
Bob. now an old man, may be still liv
ing somewhere in Oregon. The Morgan
above referred to bought Bob in Ken
tucky for 41000. just before the breaking
out of the Civil War, carrying the little
fellow behind him on the same horse all
the way from Kentucky to Missouri.
A year or so after the war com
