SOME. OPIXIOXS EXPRESSED BY
' PORTLAND PEOPLE."
The Oregronlan's Handbook Spoken ot
cs a. Most Reliable and At
tractive Publication.
Since the publication of the handbook
on Monday last The Oregonian has re
ceived many flattering: testimonials from'
different parts of the Northwest, -all pay
ing tribute to the excellence of the
book as 3. whole. The following words'
of approval offered by some leading: Port
land people will satisfy the public gen
erallyhat Oregon as a state will secure
much valuable advertising from the wide
distribution of the handbook which the
large sale of copies already Insures:
Hon. H. W. -Corbett: .
"As an exponent of the advancement of
the Industries of Oregon and the North
west during the past 100 years from -a
primeval forest to a. condition, of great
.commercial activity, as typified by Port
land and Its surroundings, it is certainly
an excellent production, relating In suc
cinct terms the advance of, civilization
and progress In commerce and manufac
ture in. the section of country explored
by Liewjs and Clark 100 years ago.
"I jdo not see liow this advancement
could be better portrayed than by the-subject-matter
and Illustrations of this
publication. Xou could not expect In a
fcrief resume of this kind to represent all
the interests of this portion of the coun
try, yet in the space allotted it giv.es the
most comprehensive outlines possible."
Kalph. W. Hoyt, cashier Merchants Na
tional Bank;
"It Is my Idea of advertising the re
sources of the country.
"The l)OOk is excellent typographically
and in subject-matter; It gives more in
a condensed form than any publication
of a similar nature that I.have ever seen.
A. frequent Issue of like works wcmlcL un
doubtedly be of great benefit to the city
and state."
W. A. MacRae, manager London & San
Francisco Bank, limited:
"Brimful of statistics covering indus
tries, resources and climate of city and
state; neatly illustrated and conveniently
classified."
Mayor H. S. Rowe:
"The Oregonlan's book descriptive of
Portland and vicinity is comprehensive
and concise. Our advantages are set forth
In plain English, and no words are wasted.
Every citizen of Oregon should mail a
copy to each acquaintance he may have
in the East
"I am going down to get a few hun
dred copies ior distribution among in
quirers. It will save me lots of trouble."
J. M. Long, City Attorney and one of
the leading spirits of the Lewii and Clark
Centennial, American-Pacific Exposition
and Oriental Fair:
-The enterprise of The Oregonian In
getting out thjs handbook will be produc
tive of more good for Portland and the
Northwest than ans similar effort made
for years. As a prospectus of the 1905
Fair it is in every way superior to those
put out by Buffalo, Charleston or St.
Louis."
Allen B. Croasman, postmaster, Port
land: ""It's an 'Oregon peach. I am in a posi
tion where I can appreciate" it. I often re
ceive 300 letters a day, mostly of inquiry.
"When I send them that book I can an
swer more, questions than they can ask.
It contains replies to all the questions
they can put and to a thousand others
that they forget."
HT:2. Bowers, manager-Portland "Hotel:
"'It's the nicest thing of the kind that I
Jiave seen. It Is artistically beautiful,
and coming Irom The Oregonian, I take
it for granted that the information is ac
curate." A. L. Craig, general passenger agent
the O. R. & N. Co.:
"I think It so good that I have laid It
aside lor future reference in connection
with our correspondence and printed mat
ter. There is a whole lot of information
of particular value to me, because It gives
statistics that Eastern people wish regard- J
ing cur city and state. Artistically It Is
a credit to The Oregonian. The cuts,
though small, are very clear and attract
ive." R. B. Muller, general passenger agent
Southern Pacific Company:
"A very good publication. It is In very
attractive form, not only to strangers,
but to home people. It will do a great
deal to advance the resources of the coun
try, containing as it does statistical inL
formation in detail of a reliable characs.
ter. I can use the statistical matter at
my desk all the time. I consider it well
named A Handbook of Ready Reference.
I look upon the book as a most valuable
adjunct to the agencies already at work
for the advancement of Oregon."
A. D. Charlton, asslstanr general pas
senger agent Northern Pacific Railway
Company:
"The Lewis and Clark Handbook of
Portland and tributary country, published
by The Oregonian, is a work of art and
could not be improved upon. Typographi
cally It is excellent. As a medium of plac
ing before the public the resources of the
North Pacific Coast States it Is excellent
and certainly will prove of great benefit,
going a long way to increase the popula
tion of Oregon, Washington and Idaho."
A. C. Sheldon, general agent, Burling
ton Route:
"I found it so complete and concise that
I forwarded a number of copies to rep
resentatives of the passenger department
of our line In the East, to enable them to
lurnish accurate Information to intend
ing homeseekers. It struck me that It
would be a capital thing for our men down
there In furnishing information." ,
A. B. C. Dennlston, city passenger and
ticket agent, Great Northern Railway:
'It is accurate and reliable. It furnishes
a correct and accurate medium" of infor
mation. The resources and advantages of
the Northwest are most fully set forth.'
F. R. Johnson, freight and passenger
agent, Canadian Pacific Railway:
"It strikes me that with a population
of 1,500,000 dn the Northwest to draw from,
and with the wonderful diversity of Ore
gon's resources, as set forth in this lit
tle book, the success of the 190 Exposi
tion should be practically assured. I con
sider the publication a very full and com
plete prospectus to this end. I naturally
nave a great many inquiries from the
East and the British provinces, which this
attractive manual will greatly help me in
answering." ' , .
Charles J. Edd5 general passenger
agent, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway, .Portland: t
"At a glance I saw at once that it was
a very valuable book of reference, con
veying information that will be acceptable'
to everybody"
Martin Winch, administrator S. G-. Reed
estate:
"'It is very creditable to The Oregonian.
I shall take a great deal of pleasure in
sending it to our friends. I think It will
be a great thing for Oregon. The book
is In very handy shape. The map ot the
Columbia and its tributaries I can only
designate as a story without words."
W. P. Olds (Olds, Wortman & King).
"A compact arrangement of cold facts
without bombast. Should have a wide dis
tribution In the Middle West and be used
as a text-book by Portland's people."
I. N. Flelschner, of Flelschner, Mayer

Dan McAllen: ' '
"Well, sir, "it's boiled down. The corer
.arrested me at once. When I recalled
the old battle-axes of brigs that used to
come In here and saw the elegant At
lantic liner on the cover, it made me
think. Commerce makes the town the
city, I mean.
"The -remarks of Mr. Scott, Mr. Cor
bett, Mr. Long and Mayor Rowe furnish
a pretty good index of the -country we
live in, and, incidentally, of the scope
and possibilities of our forthcoming Lewis

A. H. Devers. of Clossett & Devers:
"It's a credit to The Oregonian. Its
typographical and illustrative features are
most tasty. Its subject-matter I have not

H. B. Lltt:
"Excellent! I consider it excellent in
every detail, and that is as much as a
man can say. I believe It will have a bet
ter effect than anything I have ever seen
printed, in advising outsiders of the ad
vantages of Portland and the Northwest
It is a beautiful little' publication and a
credit to Oregon and the city."
F. S. Doernbecher, of the Doernbecher
Manufacturing Company:
"I have bought 250 copies of the hand
book, which I intend to distribute among
my leading patrons outside of Portland.
I can use these books to excellent ad
vantage, both in advertising, my own
business and in exploiting the many ad
vantages of Portland as" a great commer
cial center. The book Itself is a com
pendium of the most valuable informa
tion regarding Portland and its tributary
fleld, and It .should be given the widest
possible distribution. Mrs. Doernbecher
and myself will leave tonight for a
month's trip to Honolulu. I am sorry that
The Oregonian has not at its disposal a
considerable .number, of extra copies of the
handbook, which I know I could dis
tribute to fine advantage In advertising
Portland and our state in the Hawaiian
Islands."
L N. Lipman, of L'lp'man Wolfe & Co.;
"It Is an exceedingly unique production
and should attract a great deal of at
tention back East. The illustrations and
press work are of a very, high order. The
subject-matter covers most " thoroughly
the field of Information it seeks to im
part" Studebaker Bros. Co., Northwest:
"We consider it 'the finest thing that has
ever been published In the Northwest, as
an advertisement pf Its resources. The
practical beneficial effects of its, influence
should be most marked."
F. L. Selleck, manager J. I. Case Com
pany: "It is very fine. It is the duty of every
body in Oregon to send out one "to every
Inquiring friend. I propose to send out
many of them In this way."
Henry Meldrum, TJ. S. Surveyor-General
of Oregon:
"A good exposition of the resources of
the state. The data seems exceptionally
"accurate. It is a valuable medium for In
teresting the people of the East"
H. H. Newhall, president East Side
Bank:
"It reflects great credit on The Ore
gonian to publish such a work as this.
It is the superior of any like publication
ever gotten out In the state."
Sol Blumauer, of Bhimauer & "Hoch,:
"It's an elegant book. The best The
Oregonian ever got out for the purpose.
I think It the best possible medium for
advertising the state. It is so handsome
ly gptten up that people will preserve it"
Thomas C. Devlin, City Auditor, Port
land: "The Oregonian 'handbook presents an !
attractive, concise and clear statement '.
of the advantages of Portland. Its lllus
trations are instructive and if distributed
as it should.be in the Eastern and Middle
Western States, will bring thousands of
the most desirable .citizens to our state.
The book should be widely distributed."
, W. H. Hurlburt president Portland City
& Oregon Railway Company:
"My attention Is called to the publica
tion of the Lewis and Clark Centennial
Exposition booklet, and while I have not
found time to go over the same carefully.
It strikes me as a publication that would
prove of special advantage to Portland
and vicinity if its distribution can be
properly made.
"It is concise ln form, which specially
commends It as 'a publication that would
be' retained rather than cast aside."
' L. B. Seeley, general manager Columbia
River '& Puget .Sound Navigation Com
pany: "The bdokin 4ts general educational
features is beyond - praise. The views of
the. Upper-" Columbia -'River and Its sur-
passing: scenic wonders are certainly very
attractive. There is no question, but that
the. work will bring excellent" results In
advertising .Portland and the' Pacific
Northwest. Every loyal Oregonian should
be .proud cf it, and do his best to put it
into general circulation."
H W. Goode,, general manager Port
land General Electric Company:
"The -booklet gives a very concise and
comprehensive statement of Oregon's
trade and resources. It cannot fail to in
terest Eastern capitalists, farmers and
manufacturers In whose, hands It may fall.
It-should be widely distributed."
Captain W. C. Langfitt, Corps of En
gineers, IJ. S. A., Portland:
"The book should be in more permanent
form; ' I mean .with a. more durabje
cover.
"From a hasty inspection,, the publica
tion appears to possess a lot of valuable
information, and to well subserve the
purposes for which it was designed."
In connection wit hthe above comment
Hof Captain Langfitt, the following ex
tract taken from his report to the Chier
of Enginerrs, Washington, Is of interest.
The report was submitted April 12, 1900

cal conditions, it. would certainly seem
that the Columbia River should, be the
natural outlet for the large section of
country drained by it and its tributaries.
.Wherever the shipping point may be lo
cated on the river, it canv be reached by
railways with easy grades and by river
navigation. ' In fact, a natural route to
the sea exists.
"In the present state of commerce on
the river, Portland seems to combine
inequalities claimed and described, and,
as stated above, it is the firm convic
tion of the best commercial minds of the
city that she will always maintain them
if the improvement herein reported' is
made."
-, .Edward A. 'Beals, Forecast Official,
Portland: .
"There qught to be hundreds of copies
delivered to every west'bound transcon
tinental passenger train a' day prior to its
arrival in Portland. One feature I am of
course naturally interested In the cli
matic features of Oregon. If no other
advantage of the state were enumerated,
the delightful climatic features of Ore
gon as set forth In this little work should
bring speedy and remarkable returns from
the East in the way of Inquiry and im
migration." Francis L McKenna:
"We, have received 500 copies of the
Hand-book. It Is by far the best thing
of the kind ever published in the state.
Every merchant in Oregon should dis
tribute' 500 copies."
Philip Buehner, treasurer and mana
ger Eastern Lumber Company:
"I think it's all right. The information
furnished Is broad and accurate. We are
sending them to all our Eastern' custom
ers. I know they will be read, and with
interest."
SEATTLE AGAINST PORTLAND

Seattle's leadfng business men, prelim
inary to making an effort to capture part
of 'the trade of the Walla Walla Valley,
are making a study of traffic conditions
and laying plans to send commercial trav

delegation entertained here during the
Fruit Fair, is bent on making Of Seattle
chiefly a wholesale point, and to get a
foothold in this territory its leading
members are willing to spend consider
able money.
"I have every reason to believe," said
C. B. Calderhead, general freight and
passenger agent of the Washington &
Columbia River Railway, "that Seattle's
chief wholesalers will make a strong ef
fort to do business here in opposition to
Portland. During my visit in Seattle last
week I was approached .by several of
them regarding the situation here. They
are displaying the liveliest interest in the
situation In Southeastern Washington,

PAT CROWE HEARD FROM
JOFFERS TO GIVE-HIMSELF UP IF
(THE3 REWARD IS WITHDRAWN.
Afraid if It Is StiH Hanging Over
Him, Manufactured Testimony
"Would Convict Him.
OMAHA, Oct. 12. Chief of Police Don
ahue has received from Patrick Crow
through a friend of the latter, an offer to
surrender himself 'and stand trial in the
courts if the reward of $50;op0 hanging
over his head for the alleged' kidnaping
of Edward A. Cudahy, Jr., is withdrawn.
Chief Donahue did not accept the prop
osition, but made a counter offer to wgive
the reward himself, saying nobody else
could secure it. The Chief says Crowe Is
tired of being hunted, and is willing to
take chances of a trial If the reward Is
withdrawn, but expresses the fear that
manufactured testimony would convict
him if the reward were allowed to stand, .
He says Qrowe is less than 500 miles fromJ
Omaha, and is not with his 'relatives.
Edward A. pudahy, Sr., was seen by a
representative of the Associated Press;
and asked if the reward for Crowe would
be withdrawn. In reply he said:
"Yes, we will do anything to secure
Crowe. This Is the first I have heard, of
Crowe, but I presume his proposition Is
bona fide. I still believe Crowe was one'-
of the abductors- of my son, "but If he
surrenders hev shall have a fair trial, and
If he gives himself up under the circum
stances named, the reward will be with
drawn. I have not heard from Crowe di
rectly or Indirectly myself, but Chief Don
ahue has the matter in hand, and will acf
In any manner that will secure the 'pres
ence of Crowe."
There was a legal flghfc today over the
case of James Callahan, held for neriury
in the Cudahy kidnaping trial.- The plea
in bar was nor .drgUed, but Callahan s
attorneys, filed a motion to quash on the
ground that the jury has been called, and
that indictment, rather than information,
is the proper procedure. The court' said
he would call up the -notion next- Thurs
day, and Indicated that h would overrule
it. Callahan's attorneys are said to be
expecting Pat Crowe to figure in the fiase
soon, and .are fighting for time.

, If between five feet three inches and five feet
seven inches in height, should weigh not more
than 140 pounds, nor less than 125. Her bnsfc
should measure not less than twenty-eight nor
more than thirty-six inches. Her hips will meas
ure six to ten inches more than the bust and her
waist line will measure from twenty -two to
twenty-eight inches.
That is the artistic standard. According to art per
fection can be measured
jNature the only measure
neaith. .Nature's perfect woman is one who is per
fectly fit for womanly functions. Of the two, Nature's
standard of womanly perfection is higher-than that of
art. There are more perfectly proportioned women
jthan women who are perfectly healthy. But the nat-
uiai Bbauuaiu. 01 womaiuy perceuuun uas tins advantage
?over the artistic its shortcomings may be'repaired. If
af woman fails of the artistic requireraenty.in height she- can
riot add one cubit to her stature. If her nose lacks classical
shape or her hands are not formed on classic models, she must
'forever laok artistic perfection. It -is different witb the
woman who falls .short of
- health. By the use of prosper means she can, as a rule, be
come a perfectly healthy woman. The proof of this is that
there are thousands of healthy women to-day who once were
great, sufferers from womanly diseases, but have been per
fectly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Those thousands of cured women
represent the cure of every form f womanly disease which
vcan be cured by medicirres,, No matter what form of wom-
' 'anly disease she may have, a woman knows that some other
women have suffefed with it too. She also needs to know
that many of those other women, once diseased as she is, are among
the thousands cured of womanly diseases by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. " Why should any woman endure the tor-
j'mentsof womanly disease and tjie misery of ill-health when
" .the .use of " Favorite Prescription " .offers her an almost certain
. cure ? It is possible, and but just possible, that in some cases no
perfect cure can be made. The statistics show that two women out
of every hundred cannot be perfectly cured. That means that the
ohances in favor'Df va cure are ninety-eight out of a hundred. But
if. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, fails to cure in two cases out
of a Hundred, it never fails to benefit in;any case. It enables women
who could do no work to have some part again in household duties.
It enables women who could not sleep without nsing narcotics, to
' sleep naturally. It' reduces the pain and the suffering from wom
anly diseases, and as many a woman writes, "makes life once more
worth living." Some of the letters women write, describing their
condition and cure are -printed below. There are thousands of other
women who have written in similar terms about the wonderful cures
accomplished by the use of "Favorite Prescription."
Let any sick woman who reads these letters read them as personal
letters to herself a personal invitation from a healthy woman to a
sick sister- to use the same means of cure which has restored her to
perfect and permanent health. If the case described is not exactly
like your own, remember that your condition is surely just like that
of some of the thousands wjio owe health and happiness to the cura
tive power of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and be encouraged
by the cure of others to give the medicine a fair trial yourself.
Mrs. Anna Willy of (Michigan House), Nbrthville, Spink Co., S. Dak., writes:
"I am enjoying good health, thanks to your kind advice and valuable reme
dies. I suffefed very much with female weakness and other ailments for
more than two years, when I wrote to you for advice. After carefully follow

"I take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for female weakness,"
writes Mrs.Susannah Permenter, of Pauls Store, Shelby Co., Texas. "I was troSbled with bearing

-nI had been a great sufferer from female weakness for about two years," writes Mrs. Emma
Richardson, of Gose, Wayne Co., Ky. "Could not do my work part of the time. I took four
