work for suitable bridges, streets and
public improvements, at the same time
to keep the taxes at as low figure as
possible. He further declares himself in
favor of establishing mills, shops, fac

duce, and promises that he will always
advocate harmony, good government and
substantial justice to all. Mr. Ellis was
born In Pennsylvania 33 years ago and
has lived in Oregon for the past 20 years.
He was, prior to entering the legal pro
fession five years ago. in railroad service.

The two horses are' rearing the 20-ear

have they had in this time and the result
is that both animals are miserably "stove

ing this fact they have to respond to
hurry calls every night, often covering
many blocks at a run and never easing

the distance may be.
An effort is to be made to have the

their names to be used at the May pri
maries, ir they give their permission
these names could be voted on. and in no
other way could the best representative
element of the Republican party secure
Tlnally Its best men as standard-bearers.
This course is one plainly indicated by
the primary law itself, and it will tend
to decrease the splitting up of the party
into a number -r hostile camps, and will
insure success the June election.
There is no Interference and no inten
tion or Interference with the prlmarv
l.wr. and no toleration of any scheme
to have a single man of the 4fK men
selected ny the city central committee
pledged to or working In favor of or
atalnst any man for either of the offices
who might be considered.
'Tt Is the duty of all of the various
pertlea to get out their heat men for the
offices. The plan proposed, means first
to get a body of 400 men to go out and
seek candidates. Tf these 400 men are not
thoroughly representative citizens, as well
as Republicans, then the plan fails right
there. Any attempt to play politics will
simply kill the plan.
"When the list of men elected by the
Republican central committee to look for
candidates ta published the morning after
tne committee meets the people will
jinow if we hare redeemed our promises.
ny that list the Republican party of
Portland must stand or fall. To give it
tne necessary strength In Its attest, it
must be of such well-known and Invincible
Integrity that the mere mention of the
names shall satisfy the most captious
and mistrustful of its absolute sincerity

Calls for Party Support.

formed. No true believer In the principles
of Republicanism will hesitate to do his
full duty In this matter, according to my
belief. There must not be a shadow of
self-seeking, but the aim must be to get
men to run whose names will not only be
an assurance of the highest ldals ana
capabilities, but names which will appeal
to voters of all parties who wish to see
a sreater and a more progressive Port
land.
"Some splendid men in Portland who
might be urged to run for Mayor cannot
afford the time away from their business.

In Portland as a business man will com
mand universal respect, and whose Ideals
will insure the support of the cltisens, ir
respective of .party. There are a num
ber of such men in the Republican partv.
but their very standing in the community
will not allow them to go out and wrangle
for a nomination. Such men, if called
upon by a body of 400 representative men
of their party, men entirely disinterested,
and urged to become candidates, cannot
fall to be Impressed with the quality and
quantity of support proffered them.
"In the last analysis this plan means
a united, not a divided. Republican
party; the best possible candidates. Irre
spective of politics; a Republican victory
In June and a city which will go forward
as never before in its long and glorious
history. And the success or failure of
the plan depends upon the personnel of
the 400 men to be chosen Wednesday
night next. In the event of their being
first-class men. the victory for the Re
publican party Is already won. If the
city central committee falls to grasp its
opportunity, the shoe is on the other
foot."

kane to Join Hands in Greeting.
San Francisco Refuses
to Participate.
In spite of the fact that the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce declined to
participate in the proposed entertainment
of the commercial representatives of
Japan, the Chambers of Commerce of
four Northwestern cities have united In
a plan to Invite these Japanese commer
cial men to visit this country some time
during the present year. This matter
was decided upon at a meeting yesterday
afternoon of representatives of the Cham
bers of ' Commerce 'of Seattle, Tacoma,
Spokane and Portland. Some time ago
these bodies, together with the San Fran
cisco Chamber, constituting the Associ
ated Chambers' of Commerce of the Pa
cific Coast, extended an invitation to the
business men of Japan to visit this coun
try during this year, hut owing to the
anti-Japanese agitation the San Francisco
organization - has since withdrawn from
tne invitation. This action made it
necessary for the Chambers of Commerce
of the Northwest cities to come to some
agreement regarding the matter.
Fifty or Sixty Coming.
At the meeting held yesterday at which
rresiaent wmiam MacMaster. of the
local Chamber, presided. It was proposed
to Invite the Chambers-of Commerce of
Japan to send 15 representatives from
among their leading commercial and
financial men. It Is expected that with
secretaries, clerlts and others the visitors
will constitute a party of between 50 and
60 persons. It is proposed that thov
reach here before the close of the Seattle
Fair, in order that they may be given
every opportunity to become acquainted
with the business men of the United
states and their methods. This It Is be
lieved will result In creating a better
reeling between the two countries. Those
attending yesterday's meeting were: C
Y. Tandell. secretary of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce; J. D. Loman and D. F.
Blaine, of Seattle; A. A. Hilton, of Ta
coma: F. E. Goodall. president of the
Spokane Chamber, and E. X). Coman,
president of the Exchange National Bank,
Spokane. There were also present at the
conference C. M. Clark and J. C. Friend
ly, who were the local Chamber's repre
sentatives to. Japan on the recent excur
sion. A. r. Charlton, of the Northern
Pacific, also attended the conference.
The members of the conference, accom
panied by E. C. Giltner. of the Portland
Chamber, left last night for Tacoma,

The Harmony
Of Home
Does Not Mingle With or Emanate
From the Table of Dyspepsia.
In the . home, meal time should
awaken in all the inhabitants ' a pecu
liar harmony of joy which will make
for the home the abiding place of in
terest and happiness.
If one member at the dinner table is
out of sorts, his Influence Is felt and
the harmony is lacking.. Conversation
and mirth are absent. Devouring
though's assail the , diners and silence
prevails. '
"At The Dyspeptic's Table Ominous,
Quiet And tilootn Crowds Ont Mirth."
All physicians agree that mirth and
joy at meal time does 'much' toward
digestion. Mirth tingles' the whole
nervous organism of man, the cells
wherein are stored valuable digestive
juices, empty their contents under the
nerve stimulation and promote the
highest degree of digestion.
If gloom and discomfort prevail at
table the reverse action obtains and
meals become necessities, not antici
pated joys. ... 7
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are little
storehouses of digestion which, mix
with -the stomach juices, digest food,
retingle the mucous membrane and its
nerve centers, give to the blood a great
wealth of digestive fluids, promote di
gestion and stays by the stomach until
all Its duties are complete.
If dyspepsia sits at tables It makes
the dining room a place of awe; these
tablets should be taken, after meals
and dyspepsia of a consequence flees.
No need for diet or fasting. The
dyspeptics who will .use them religious
ly will find no sense of 'nausea' in the
sight of generous meals or in the odor
of rich cooking. . '
It matters now what the .condition of

This further act of the San Francisco
commercial bodies in withdrawing its in
vitation to the business men of Japan i
will undoubtedly have its effect on the
trade between that port and the Orient,
and should result In increased trade re
lations with the Pacific Northwest.
What Consul Numano Says.
Japanese Consul Numano expressed his
gratification at the action of yesterday's
meeting In proposing to invite Japanese
merchants to visit this country. He ex
pressed the belief that it would have the
effect of increasing the volume of trade
between the two countries and maintain
the friendly relations already existing.
'Tho people of Japan." said Mr. Nu
mano,' "have been very much impressed
always with the friendly feeling which
exists toward them In the Northwest.
The visiting merchants will have a most
favorable opportunity to know definitely
about commercial conditions in this coun
try. They will undoubtedly And many
articles which it will be advisable to im
port. With Japan's increasing coloniza
tion in Corea, Formosa and Manchuria
new fields will be opened up for American
products. The relations between Japan
and America ought to be friendly and
ought to be supported by friendly feel
ing between the business men of the. re
spective countries."

ants be restrained from the use of the

each year, and to put up a Swedish As
sociation building. It was alleged that

Today will mark the 86th birthday of
Portland's most distinguished citizen. I
might, with all truthfulness, say the
most distinguished man on the Pacific
Coast, for in point of years, honors and
achievements. Judge George H. Williams
haa no one to dispute his title to genuine
greatness. He 19 the oldest surviving:
Cabinet minister. having, as is well
known, been Attorney-General under
Grant, the last of his Cabinet, and no
man now lives who sat In a President's
council before him. Before that he was
United States Senator from Oregon and
a close adviser of Lincoln in the mo
mentous days of the Civil "War. having
been a member of the Senatorial com
mittee to accompany the remains of the
martyr to his last resting place.
But much farther back, along the pro
cession of the years, George H. Williams
fully. He was one of the organizers of
Iowa territory and in 1S47 was elected
to the state bench. In the same year he
formed the friendship of Abraham Lin
coln, which continued in a confidential
relation until the assassination . of the
Great Emancipator in 1S65. He was also
a close friend and admirer of Stephen A.
Douglas and, being a Democrat in those
days, was closely- associated with the
Little Giant.
In 1852 Judge Williams was a Pierce
Presidential elector for Iowa, and was se
lected, to carry the vote of the state to
Washington. Shortly afterward he was
appointed Chief Justice of Oregon Terri
tory without his solicitation, and in 1853
he came to the Oregon country, with
was a man of note in the affairs of the
country he has served so long and faith
which he is so closely associated that he
seems a landmark. His subsequent career
as Senator. Cabinet minister, member of
the Alabama Claims Commission, Mayor
of Portland and always pre-eminent pri
vate citizen, and leader, of .the. local bar.
is a matter of common knowledge.
At 86 Judge Williams . retains, all his
virile mental faculties, following the
course of his. large, legal .practice - every
day, frequently appearing in. co.urt and
continually in demand -as a public -speaker.
His physical powers are also won
derfully well preserved and he impresses
his friends as Toeing no less active and
energetic than he was a -score of years
ago. t ...
Tonight Judge Williams will . entertain
a birthday dinner party at the Commer
cial Club, to which some 60 guests have
been invited, and the "Grand Old Man"
is expected to be at his best- He is in
receipt of numerous letters and telegrams
of congratulation from all parts of the
country and is today, on his -86th birth
day, the most interesting, and one of the
most important figures in the - city. '

People in consequence have ever since been victims of lard-cooked food and
indigestion. Lard soaked food is not fit for human stomachs because lard is made
from greasy, indigestible hog fat, and is bound, sooner or later, to make trouble

Cottolene is the only rational, national shortening. It is a pure, vegetable
product, and its source (the cotton fields of the Sunny South) is in striking con
trast to the source of lard (the pig-sty.)
Cottolene makes food that any stomach can digest palatable, nutritious and
healthful. If American housewives but knew the superiority of Cottolene over
lard, both from a practical and health standpoint, lard would
never again enter any well-regulated kitchen.
