10 THE SUNDAY' OKEGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 13, 1902. TO REBUILD IRON WORKS PKOESIX COMPANY BUYS BLOCK OX EAST THIRD AND ctjAYlT A Machine- and BolIer-Hoc, j Foundry and Pattern Shop "Will j Replace Those Destroyed. The Phoenix Iron "Works yesterday purchased the half block on East Third street, between East Clay street and Hawthorne avenue, and will proceed at once with the erection or buildings suit able for machine shops. There will toe three buildings, i Machine- and boiler house will be two storlesOxlOO; foundry. GOxSO, and pattern shop, 20x50. It is un derstood that work will bo started on, these buildings at once, and that lumber has been ordered. New machinery will be ordered, and tho works will be up to date In all respects. Separate motors will be used for the machines. Samuel Morrow is president, and Fritz "Wolff, formerly head of the "Wolff & Zwickcr plant, is vice-president and man ager of the company. Both are well known business men, and their energy In thus rising superior to their recent dis aster deserves success. There is eery Indication that a much better class of buildings will soon replace those 'burned down in the recent fire. WILL BUBN RED FIHE. Alblna Board ojT"Trde ' Will Illu minate Abrams A'Knox Tract. At a rousing meeting of the Central Alblna Board of Trade Friday night, held in the Mississippi-avenue engine-house, It was decided to Illuminate the Abnuns & Knox tract tomorrow. night with red fire, so as to attract attention to its ad vantages as a possible site for the 1905 Fair. A committee was appointed to see that the red fire is burned to the best advantage from the bluff above tho river. During the evening there was general discussion of the Fair-site question, and the following resolutions were presented by Dr. L. M. Davis and adopted as the sentiment of the meeting and Alblna peo ple: Whereas; We notice with regret that the disposition of certain Individuals to force the location of the .Lewis and Clark Fair Bite to the City Park, inaccessible as It is for transportation lines; its abrupt eleva tion, making transportation unnecessarily dangerous, when there are much better locations wjthin the city limits on the pen insula free from all .the above objections and free of cost to the association; and. Whereas, The elevation Is about 450 feet, placing the ground above the natural water supply, making It necessary to pump the vast supply of water required for various purposes; and, Whereas, The main buildings would have to be placed upon terraces, one above the other, making It necessary for the vast crowds that will visit the fair to keep climbing, climbing, from building to build ing, lnjarder to see exhibits, and all this In thtf'iace of much better and level ele vated locations 6n the banks of tHe Wil lamette, possessing all the advantages claimed for the City Park, with none of the objectionable features; and. Whereas. If th9 enterprise is not a money-making scheme, and the effort Is an honest one calculated to carry out the alleged object for which It was originated, viz., to celebrate the lOOth anniversary of Iewls and Clark's discoveries, to adver tise the whole Northwest Pacific Coast and Its undeveloped resources, and as far as the Citv of Portland and thcState of Ore gon Is concerned, to advertise our harbor and shipping facilities, for upon these re sources our future greatness as a city depends: and. Whereas, If these are the objects to be attained, the site must he located where these advantages can best bo observed and studied, viz., on the elevated peninsula between the two great rivers Columbia and Wlllamette-which were, and are now, the glorious, crowning discoveries of the Lewis and Clark expedition; and. Whereas. The creat State of Washing ton, separated from us only by the Co lumbia River, and In full vjew of said penlntula, -will be asked, and no doubt will contribute liberally to said fair it Is no more than right and just that our sister state have a voice in the location of the fair site: and, "Whereas. It looks to us as if It wilt give the Impression to the outside world that we are asking aid to build up our City Park at their expense; and. Whereas, We believe It to be wrong In practice and principle to ruin the Clt Park for this purpose; and, Whereas, The Abrams & Knox tract of ground, supplemented by the Cook tract, irtuatcd on the elevated banks of the Wil lamette River, furnishes an Ideal site for a successful fair, fulfilling all the require ments of the most exacting critic; there fore, ba it Resolved, That in our Judgment, any site for said fair other than the Penin sula, means failure. SHORT ON ItASPBERRIES. Growers Evade Contracts to Furnish. Them, to Canneries far 4 Cents. A considerable number of fruitgrowers contracted raspberries to the East Side canneries at 4 cents per pound, but owing to the high wind recently the crop turned out short and the price has gone up to 6 cents. The canneries are not getting the berries for which they contracted. Some of the growers have delivered raspberries, but the greater number prefer selling on the market for 6 cents and leaving the canneries out. v C. H. Welch, of Mount Tabor, said yes terday that he was short about 2000 pounds, but considered it right that the canneries should be provided for, as they are very useful In working off the sur plus "and preventing the market from ielng overstocked. He expressed the opinion that the growers who are not keeping their contracts are acting, con trary to their own best interests. How ever, the temptation to sell for 6 cents is very great. Of course, the canneries cannot pay that much for raspberries for canning, but agreed to pay 4 cents. There would not be any difficulty In. their get ting a full supply, had there been no shortage. IS. His subject has not yet been an-? nounced, but he is expected to speak on his experiences at Valparaiso .while he was Consul at that place. His JecturesJ on this subject have been highly enter taining, and will be a treat to the.poople attending the reunion. Judge Caples"ac- ceptance was telephoned to the post yes terday while it was in session, and was received with great satisfaction. City View ParU In the Field. City View Park, at Sellwood. Is still In the field as a possible site for the 1905 Fair. Major T. C. Bell, Frank B. Gibson and E. B. Madden are a committee to pre sent, its advantages to the Fair directors. They will offer the free use of the park andtt. five-acre tract for permanent build ings. Citizens of Sellwood have agreed to assume the payment of the taxes while the grounds, Jf selected, are In use. Committee Is Discharged. The -committee appointed at the mass meeting held In Sellwood Friday night to help settle the railway strike Is dis charged, for the reason, happily, there Is nothing- for It to do. 1$ may be said that Professor Curtis, who represented the strikers and tho citizen of Sellwood, won tho respect and good will of all con cerned. His fair presentation of both sides or the controversy was satisfactory, Mormons Hold Revival. There will be preaching every evening at 8 o'clock and Sundays at 11 A. M. In the large tent on Williams avenuo, be tween Monroe and Fargo streets, by El ders Allen and Goodwin, of the Reorgan ized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Coal Company's Officers .Elected. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Portland Coal & Yamhill Develop ment Company In Sharkey's HalL at Sun nyslde, Thursday, the following officers were elected a board of directors: Clifford N. Terrell, Joseph J3. Worth, Charles Whltmer, A. N. Wright and C. C.Xaugh lln. The directors elected the following Officers: Clifford N. Terrell, president; Joseph E. Worth, vice-president; John T. Bodwell, secretary; Charles Whltmer, treasurer; William Steadman, general manager. A report from the manager showed that considerable "development work had been done. Joseph Worth said that there were good prospects that a epur would be built by the Southern Pa cific Railway to tho mine. The stockhold ers of the company arje mostly Portland men. y - Obstructions In Cycle Path. Complaint continues concerning the ob structions that have been piled on the cycle path on Mllwaukle street near Mid way. Screenings from the street were dumped right on the path on the river side for some distance land allowed to harden before being levejed. Any one otoe would be fined for obstructing a cycle path and endangering the many wheel men who use It. Not knowing that the obstructions were there, a wheelman Fri day night was thrown from his bicycle and came near going down the embank ment on the river side. . To Relocate Prec Baths. The Portland Free Baths will be per manently located InJ.he river opposite the foot of East Taylor" street. Piles have been driven for the anchorage. Floats have been built so there will be easy ac cessyfrom the shore. Judgre Coplfrs-'WIU Spealc, Hon. John F. Caples jesterday accepted an Invitation to delU-cr an address on the occasion of tho-annual reunion of the 1. A. Rots Post at Pleasant Home, August COST OF CITY PARK SlTEi W. "YV. Bretherton Asks About Ex pense of Transportation. PORTLAND, JulylL-(To the Editor.) The location of the fair being a matter of public Interest, I suppose any re marks about the subject may be consid ered in order. We have heard a. great deal about the views from the park and tho beauty of the site, but the cost of such a, site has been apparently Ignored, or rather passed over with a statement that Mr. Grondahl has Bald that trans portation to the park could he provided. Would It not be a good, "common-sense proposition to determine fully and pub lish what the expense of that transport tatlon would be? Car lines can be built Into the park site, but Mr. Grondahl, I believe, says that It would require very heavy work and two very large trestles to do it. Now, the cost of this grading and building will be very heavjy and the natural question appears to me to be. Who is going to pay for It? Will the street-car companies go to this Immense expense for the sake of four months' use of the tracks? If they won't, who will? Had we not better first find out exactly what this expense will be, and ask them if they will pay It or not? Again, the Idea Is given lhat to get exhibits to the park site all it will bo necessary to do will ba to build narrow-guage cars and transfer the freight from the railroad cars to them, and so move the exhibits on these cars by street-car tracks to the site. Who is to pay for running these car tracks into the Terminal Grounds, build these cars, and how do we know that the Terminal Company will .allow street-car tracks to run Into their freight yards, among their railway tracks, or whether they consider It practical? I suggest that It would be perhaps a haDDv idea ix find out the exact expense ofJ inese tnings first, and who Js going to pay, before we leap In the dark. While on this subject I might remark that for many years there has been no way for a family rom the East Side, where most of the families of the city live, to get to the City Park, except by a long, hot walk of a mile from the "Exposition Building, or half fc. mile from tho top of GUsan street. The park may be very beautiful, but many of us have had no chance to see It with our families for many years. It is easier to take our children to Cedar Park, Oregon City, or -Vancouver than to get to the City Park. To most of the children of the East Side, and they are a vast majority of the children of the city, the City Park is a placethcy read about in connection with Colonel Hawkins, and which they hope some day to see. Perhaps it might be worth while to correct that llttle'dlfll culty first; then we might learn to ap preciate the City Park. W. W. BRETHERTON. CECIL RHODES' WILL Provides for Proper Food for Stu dents. Cecil Rhodes, in his late will, left a be quest of 550,000 for the Improvement of the high table for resident fellows and tutors at Oriel College. Oxford. "I am rejplced to find that one million aire has at last given some thought to the question of dietetics in educational inf- tutlons," says Elizabeth Cady Stanton, In J ino jew ionc journal. "One of the crying evils In our schools, colleges and universities Is the bad sys tem employed In feeding growing boys and girls. "Students, above all othor classes, need plenty of good, well-cooked food and a happy state of mind In anticipation of their various meals. 'Dyspepsia Is one of the common dis eases among the literary classes, apd the foundation for this prevalent ailment Is laid In our colleges and seminaries. Of what avail is a knowledge of art, science, philosophy and government, when health Is seriously undermined?" All this comes from Ignorance as to the kind of food element the body must have to supply the dally loss from brain work. Bacon, meat, potatoes, white bread and coffee absolutely will not keep a hard brain worker well. A food expert per fected a perfect food for brain workers. Not only In the schools, but In the home, should tho food be looked after. The necessity of selecting food to .supply proper nutrition to replace the dally waste of tissue of brain and nerves is of the greatest Importance. Grape-Nuts is the ideal food for young and old who use the brain actively; the diastase of the grains being perfectly de veloped and the starch transformed Into grape sugar In the most perfect manner. In this condition Grape-Nuts Is ready to be quickly absorbed into the blood and tissue wlthouttaxlng the Intestinal digestive machinery. The phosphate of potash found In the cereals Is retained, and this, with albumen, supplies the ele ments required to build the gray matter In brain and nerve centers. Dr. Max Groszman, of New York City, recently called the attention of tho Board of Education to the fact that "pupils of the defective class arc apt to .be weak nhvslcallv. Temnorarv abprrntlnn nr often mistaken for real defects, when I they arc only symptoms of physical growth, of Indigestion, or other maladies. Indigestion has been responsible for moro than one falsehood, and its cure has often been followed by a return to truthful ness." In Its predlgested form, the dally use of Grape-Nuts for the cereal part of the meal aids digestion, nourishes the body, tones up the nervous system and quick ens the mental faculties. Coffee should also be banished, for It unnaturally stimulates the brain and I nerves so that proper nutrition Is Inter fered with, and they cannot got sufficient rest to take the food needed for the work they must do from day to day. For the morning beverage. Postum Food Coffee should be used. In place or coffee. . . Let the dally breakfast, particularly at this time of the year, consist of Grape Nuts and cream, a little fruit, a cup of Postum Food Coffee, some whole wheat bread and possibly one or two soft-boiled eggs. It 1 Impossible to make one be lieve what a wonderful change In health, strength, comfort and ability comes In 10 days after quitting wrong food and Hvlngon scientifically BAJectfed food. L.
