"THE" SUNDAY OBECjpNIAy, POKTLAND. SEPTEMBER 14, 1902. 21 AMONG THE DUTCH Former Portland in Holland. KURHAUS, Schevenlngen, Holland, August, 19, 1S02.

Bllse The last ls one of tho finest marches written and. our able Portland conductor, Mr. Edgar E. Coursen, will certainly please his audience if he Introduces this march next winter. Miss Maud Powell Is an American from Chicago, who studied two years In Leipzig, and finished her violin studies with Professor Carl Halir, of Berlin. Her tones are clear, her bowing graceful, and she received several beautiful floral tributes. Anton Wltek has every quality that insures him to be one of the world's great violinists: Evenness, a technique of the first order, surety and grace. He has penetrated the very sentiments of the composer and he well deserved tho many enthusiastic recalls that he received. How Coslma Wagner came to her un common name Is told by Adelheld von Schorn in her book, "Zwel Menchenalter." She writes she was faking a walk with Liszt In the church that was named after the two Catholic holies, Cosmo and Da miand, in Rome. Liszt explained to her that these two aalnts were Arabian physi cians who did much good, and that he named his daughter after the first. Saint Cosmo. i Berlioz attended the Paris Conserva toire while Cherublnl was director, and was counted as a pupil that would never amount to anything. In spite of this, he was not hindered in giving us "The Damnation of Faust," and he became one of the greatest living composers. Still more interesting is the fact that Gul seppe Verdi was judged at his examina tion at the Milan Coneeravtolre to be ab solutely stupid and with entire lack of talent. Having seen in The Oregonlan that a movement is on foot to have a market place In Portland, maybe it would be In teresting to Oregonians to know how the markets of Europe are conducted. In the immense City of Berlin within a radius of every 10 blocks there is- an immense market-house. The little stands In these market buildings aro simply branches of larger stores in the city, thus making it handler for the housewife to do all her marketing at one time and In on-place than to go to tho main shops elsewhere, all so far apart. The strictest -order pre vails and everything is sold, frqm salt, pepper, fish, meat, cheese and eggs to pots af'bloomlng plants, sponges, tins and porcelain for the house. ' There are few adulterated articles Mid In the market-places of Europe, because the penalty is so great that none would care to take the chances of being de tected. All meat has to have the govern ment stamp In France, Belgium and Hol land, as well as in Germany to insure its purity. Even eggs are stamped in Ger many in blue letters with the wod "Trinkeier," which means that they can be taken with impunity, raw as well as boiled. -Fish are sold alive. Poor, in deed, must be the housewife that buys a lifeless fish, and to a connoisseur the dif ference between the taste of fish bought alive and dead is almost unexplainable. The fish are sold out of large tanks of water. The buyer selects the fish, and the fishwoman takes them out with a small net for the purpose. A very interesting .feature of live fish Is witnessed at Carls bad. It is the restaurant of St. Leonard, an immense hill, which those taking the cure often ascend on foot. The tank is opened, and the visitor is allowed to se lect his own trout, fat and delicious, and the man who fishes them out simply turns the heads and life is extinct. In exactly 30 minutes, the fishes are served on large platters, artistically decorated with leaves, pansles, etc.; in fact, a dish fit for the gods. Only the very poor of Eu o rope buy dead fish, which can be had for a vry small price. Near the palace at Charlottenburg, in Berlin, is an immense pond, "Flsch Telch," which contains the fish eaten only by the Kaiser and Immediate mem bers of the royal family. These fish are fed regularly three times daily. At the main gate hangs a big bell. This the keeper rings, and immedlatey myriads of FOLK - ) Girl "Writes Concerning Music & & jfc - v fish the water Is. perfectly black with them swim to the surface at the wel come sound, and the keeper throws in handfuls of crumbs. Visitors may also ring the bell and feed the fishes. In Brussels is an immense building, even larger than the Armory In Portland; this Is called "Visch-Markt," were only fish are sold. The market here, as well as in all European cities, is open from 5 to U A. M. and from 4 to C P. M. At '6 o'clock sharp the gong sounds, and All market places are closed, and no one would dare at five minutes after 6 o'clock to sell as much.aa a small onion for a large sum; for. in Eupore the law Is made to be pre serve and not to be broken. There are always plenty of policemen about to keep order. In Paris oysters are very cheap, and .are sold fresh from the shell and eaten therefrom. They cost 40 to 50 cen times (8 to 10 cents) per dozen, with al ways an extra one thrown in, and are as large as those in New Yortc City, only much sweeter in taste. With each dozen oysters a lemon is also given, and as the woman opens the oyster she squeezes tne Juice over the delicious bivalve. In almost every town In every country of Europe are open market-places, as the streets do not run diagonally, and so even as in America. Hence evory now ana then the streets end in Germany in a platz. in England a square and In France a place. Mondays and Fridays are the FEATURE FOR THE EDWARD EVERETT INDIANS BE GIVEN A HEPPNER, Or., Sept. 13. (To the Ed itor.) There appeared In The Oregonlan recently an able paper by Professor F. G. Young, of the University of Oregon, urg ing the Lewis and' Clark Centennial and American Pacific Exposition managers to emphasize the historic event, during our Exposition of 1905, and erect a permanent monument to Lewjs and Clark In the shape of a building adapted to the uses of a public museum and library. The suggestion Is timely and no doubt will re ceive the consideration It "merits. The historic feature will call the attention of the commercial world to the Importance of the position of the Northwest and nor growing Coast cities, and will prove our strongest argument before Congress for a liberal Federal appropriation for the centennial. These things assured, the practicil ques tion of paramounj importance is how to make the affairfra financial success; that lSj, how, with the limited capital at com mand, can a sufficient attendance be se cured to prevent loss to the stockholders, or to reduce that loss to the minimum? I am aware of the sentiment that would Ignore the question of monetary loss, and blindly insist that the City of Portland and the State -of Oregon would In a thou sand ways be large beneficiaries whether the stockholders ever receive one dollar's direct return for their investment. t This is gratuitous information to the 'solid, practical business men who are building Portland into a great metropolis; but In this utilitarian age, the average man of affairs, even though possessing his due quota of civic pride, would like a reason able-assurance of a proper "getting off" place, before he pledges himself to be re sponsible for any largo amount of cash. While from the first events seem to have favored closer relations with China and the Orient, it now appears almost certain that China will enter Into the project with more than her wonted In terest and activity and this Oriental fea ture can be made one of the drawing cards of the Exposition, and will serve as a direct means of greatly augmenting the importance of Portland as an export ing port. The growth of our commerce with China cannot be anticipated by the most sanguine. A novel and comparatively inexpensive differentiating feature, which I beg leave, to here suggest, would be a department assigned to the North American Indian and known as the Indian or American department. This race, which inhabited at the time the region through which the Lewis and Clark expedition passed, would possess a cognate historical Interest to these of a literary turn of mind, and If properly planned and carried out, the In dian department would be directly re sponsible for a very material Increase in the attendance and swelling of the gate receipts. One thing is sure. Portland can not hope in any sense to compete for pub lic favor "with St. Louis, on the line of mere solendor, as the1 result of the ex penditure of money. Our proposed Expo sition must depend for success upon Its historic Importance to America, its posi tion as a gateway to the commerce of Asia, the climate and the . picturesque scenery of tho "Oregon country," its nor mal lunctlons as Inaugurating a new era for the Pacific Northwest, and Its unique and characteristic features and depart ments. I 00,000,000 Never Savr an Indian. Our states west of the Rocky Moun tains, with their meager population and all too unpleasant memories associated with the red man, forget that SO per cent of our American people of the present day never saw an Indian, except per haps at the annual circus. They are In terested in him as the original American the first American gentleman and would travel far to see him, as he might be grouped and studied in such a depart ment as suggested for our 190S fair. Such a grouping" has never been attempted dur ing the 400 years of his contact with his white brother. The fact that he has worn off his novelty with many of our Western people is Irrelevant In this connection, as the success of the Exposition will depend largely upon patronage it may receive from east of the Rockies. There will bo sufficient attractions for the West, In the Oriental display and commercial exhibits of magnificent proportions. What, j&en, of the mentioned Indian de partment and Its arrangement? The idea would be to set aside an adequate area of forest, as near the Exposition grounds as practical, and adapt It to the needs of the Indian department. A representation of all the tribes now residing within the ter ritory through which Lewis and Clark passed, or west of the Mississippi, should be secured, together with representatives from the remaining tribes east of the Mis sissippi," and the most interesting tribes in Canada, Mexico and South America. Vil lages of these tribes could be arranged In the forest, describing a circle, and In the center of this a court or natural ex hibition space could be utilized for the study and display of all Indian relics ob tainable. Six months or a year before the Exposition is to be opened, one scholarly, competent man should be sent to each tribe (as nearly all of their leaders speak English), and be instructed to collect and arrange their legends, traditions, folk lore, etc, and urge them to revive their original games and customs sufficiently tQ reproduce them property at Portland in 1905 Many of the states which hove re maining tribes within their borders might be Induced to co-operate with the Govern rmeht in preparing the Nation's wards for this highly Instructive fete of the ages. It would cost the Government but a trifle more to maintain poor Lo at one place than at another, and it would seem that no real objection could ariso along this line. . , Once inspired, prepared for the occasion and rendezvoused at tho fair grounds, a most Interesting programme could bo ar ranged, which, for uniqueness and edu cational features, would be without a par allel in American History. 1 It could extend over the entire period of the Exposition, with perhaps a new pro gramme for each week. The best, living representatives of each tribe could be prepared to lecture and give their Impres great market days, when hundreds- of wagons are stationed along the squares. Everything Js sold, poultry and fish, meals of all kinds are served, of course only rtartaken of br the lower classes; "books, curtains, carpets, everything can be purchased excepting a railway ticicet. Oleomagarino must be stamped, and where pureTiutter is sold one cannot pur chased oleomargarine. Most of the ven dors at the market-places are women, and sometimes, "but not often, they are as sisted by their laiy "husbands, as among the lower classes of Europe .women are. better workers "than men, even In the fields. Attracted by the-, large, glorious Amer ican flag on our window, to strangers easily recognized by their dress as Amer ican tourists, in fact, they were members of one of Cook's parties in Holland re cently knocked at our door, and one said: "We make free to enter, as I see the flag that makes us all sisters in a foreign land." We bade them welcome, and an swered their many questions concerning Schevenlngen and its surroundings. On questioning them ao to what city, they hailed from, one of the ladles answered that she was born in Salem, and lived 10 years in Walla Walla. She inquired very kindly After Mrs. Dunlway, and when told that the latter was one of the brilliant women of the Northwest, she saldi "Why, I'm not a bit surprised, for my mother told me that when coming across the plains Mrs. Duniway. Hhen a young girl, sat In front of the wagon, writing and composing poetry-" In the hurry of our meeting we forgot to exchange names, but she 6ald she is the present organist of St. John's Epjscopal Church, of San Francisco, nnd was on a three months' leave of absence. LILLIAN MYERS. 1905 FAIR YOUNG SUGGESTS THAT THE PROMINENT PLACE sion of their origin and the legends as to the age of their trlbesand how they have been preserved and maintained; how they view civilization and their fate. There could be games, and Illustrations of their prlmii !ve xorms of gambling. Ma ml of the exciting and Important baltlesflbf the frontier could be reproduced, and-xhus th present generation could obtain uscuTie practical, correct Ideas of the great cost of their precious heritage of liberty and peace. The Indian department could be policed by the respective tribes them selves, under the Portland police. The Government could be asked to station the necessary soldiers there as a precaution against any possible danger. One greirt trouble would be to keep whisky from the natives, but this could be done by the strictest discipline and severe punishment for Its infraction A charge of .25 cents should admit to the entire department. Various savagfc dances could be kept, up at night around their log fires, and would add a welrdness to the extraordinary sit uation. A Stndy for Philologists. So much for the Indian department as a mere drawing card. The educational ad vantage is worth considering, and might be great. The interest to philologists and especially to palenotologlsts would be un usual and of high quality. Who knows but that certain monosyllabic sounds of the North American Indians may not yet be found Identical with those of certain ancient and some modern Asiatic people?; What man among us can say whether these aborigines are the "evoluted" genus homo, whose source or origin extends )ack to the mysterious man of the glacial poch of 150,000 years ago? May they not save been originally ce branch of the .stem from which the Chinese also sprang; and, wandering over the Province of Shensi, escaped to the north and crossed to America on either land or Ice? Is It not possible that they are related to the Mongols and Tartars, fierce trlbea of Asia, which, under different names, but ever with the same object of plunder, traversed for centuries that vast region between Corea and 3Coko Nor? Looking at their sanguinary record and studying their character, these questions become at least pertinent. For untold ages neither civi lization nor the customs of "outside na tions had any more, perceptible effect upon the Chinese and certain nomadic tribes of Asia than the moonbeams do. upon the northern Icebergs. Four hun dred years of contact with civilization has not changed the nature of the North American Indian or substituted in him hthe white man's heart. Today you can take an American Indian and a Tartar policeman InK the Russian City of Vladi vostok, on the Pacific Coast, dress them alike, and you can't tell one from the other across the street. Such a department as is suggested could be the means of producing a symposium of Indian legend and lore at first hands, as might be compiled and arranged as a text-book In our public schools. This, to gether with a brief history of the Indian department of the Lewis and Clark Cen tennial, would In my opinion prove of uni form general Interest to the American people. The project would be an econom ical and novel one. Is it "worth the effort? EDWARD EVERETT YOUNG. WARDECLAREDON GOPHERS East Side Citizens Want to Get Rid of the Pest. - An Oregonlan reporter yesterday bumped up against a conclave of East Side citizens who were lamenting about the way gophers or moles or what not other pest were undermining the lawns of their homes. "They are just playing the dickens with my grass," exclaimed one fidgety man in the bunch, "and I don't know what to do. I turned the garden hose into one of the holes and, let the water run all night. When I got up in the morning my cellar was full of water. Was I mad?- Not a bit of It, but my wife was, and she wasn't mad at the gophers, either. So, between me and the gophers, I got the worst of It." "You're lucky," put in another voice from the bunch. "You ought to see where I got off. I followed some advice a friend gave me, and used polspn. When I got up in the morning the gophers were not dead, but my dog was." Several other members, of the conclave had hard-luck stories, also. One of them told about howhe used a "gopher gun" and .how his mother-in-law unturned the bliss of the family with her never-tiring, racket about the danger to the children. Before the meeting adjourned, it voted to advertise for a remedy against the pest, so If anybddy has a euro let. him stand forth and give It i Crane Testis" at Craig: Inqnest.. PITTSFIELD, Mass., Sept, 13. Governor Crane, who. was In the President's carriage at the time It was struck by a trolley car, testified before the Inquest into the death of William Craig, the secret service officer. The Governor told of approaching the foot of Howard Hill and hearing the gong of. the trolley car. On arising to his feet he was dumfounded to see that the car w.as but a short distance away and approach ing very fast. He could not tell just how the collision occurred. He only remem bered assisting- the" President from the carriage. Vanderbllt Will Xot Quit Racing. NEW YORK, Sept 13. W. K.

Half the Fines Go io Those "Who aire Inlornjfvtlon Law Rend ta the Grand Jnry. Oregon has a very stringent law provid ing for the punish'ment of persons who set fires upon their own lands or the lands of others, which result in damage to prop erty. To secure its enforcement it is pro vided that one-half of all fines shall go to the informant. This law Is one of three upon the statute books which every Cir cuit Judge Is required to read to every grand Jury. The three laws' required thus to be read are the libel law, the aritl prlzcfighting law and the forest fire law. Besides this the Governor is required to Issue a proclamation on the 1st day of July of each year, calling tho attention of all persons to the requlrementa of the law upon this subject and warning them against its Infringement. This act ir,as passed by the Legislature "of 1S83, as a consequence of the many forest fires that prevailed in 1891, in which year many thousands of acres, were burned over by fires set for the purpose of clear ing land. , The essential provisions of the act referred to are as follows: "If any person shall maliciously, with intent to Injure any other person, by him self or any other person, kindle a fire on his own land or the land of any other person, and bv means of such Are the buildings, fences, crops or other personal property or wooded timber lands of any other shall, be destroyed or injured, he shall, on conylctlon, be punished by a fine of not less than $20 nor more than 51000, or by imprisonment in the oounty Jail not less, than three months, nor more than 11 months, according to the aggravation of the offense. "If any person shall, without malice, kindle anv fire In any field, pasture, en closure, forest, prairie or timber land not his own, without the consent of the owner, and the same shall spread and d6 damage to any buildings, fences, crops, cordwood. bark ot otner personal prdperty not his own, or to any wood or timber land not his own, he shall, on conviction, be pun ished b.y a fine of not less thap 510' nor more than $100 and costs- according to the aggravation of the'offense, and shall stand committed until such fine and costs are paid. "Any person "who shall enter upon the lands of another, for the purpose of fish ing or hunting, and shall without the con sent of the owner of said lands kindle any fire thereon, shall be punished by a fine not less tha $10 nor more than $100, and if such fire be kindled maliciously, and with Intent to Injure any other person, such offender shall be punished by a fine of not less than $20 nor more than $250, or by imprisonment in the county Jail not less than lhr.ee months nor more than 12 months. "Any person who shall willfully set fire to any wooded1 countrs or forest belonging to the state or the united . States, or to any person or persons, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon con viction before a court of competent Juris diction, shall be punished by a fine of not exceeding $1000. or Imprisonment not ex ceeding one year, or by both sneh fine and Imprisonment: provided, that nothing herein contained shall apply to any person who In good faith sets a back fire, to pre vent the extension of a fire already burn ing.

Why NQt Sne Hoesenxoverf PORTLAND, Sept. 13. (To the Editor.) If the Indignant property-owners along Everett street, between Twentieth and Twenty-second streets, are desirous of saving the shade trees from damage or destruction by reason of the moving of a building over said street, why not put their Indignation In the practical form of a .suit in the court to restrain the housemover from causing such damage or destruction; cr If the damage or de struction has already been made perhaps the proper course to pursue is to bring an action to collect for damages. In "Vol. 1, No. 6. of Realty -Record, pub lished in Milwaukee. TVls., August, 190X appears the following regarding a recent decision of the Supreme Court: "Tho Supreme Court has decided that shade trees in front of a man's residence, although located on public property, be long to him. The case in which the deci sion was rendered was one in which a property-owner sued a telephone company for sawing off the limbs of his trees. The decision is of "interest to all property holders and corporations." Perhaps this decision may have some bearing even in Portland, Or. C. K. HARBAUGH. The new tramping suits "at SUverfield's. LIKE A PROVIDENCE. A Floating; Box Changed a Man's Life. Things drift Into our Uvea- In a curious way. A man was visiting the seashore while an invalid and one day a little empty Grape-Nuts box floated to him. The food facta he learned changed his Tvhole life but let him tell his story. "Th;e doctors said it was acute indiges tion or gastritis. There was really noth ing that I could et and enjoy, and when one cannot enjoy 'his meals, he may as well be dead. There was a time when I .could eat and digest anything, but for two years previous to last Spring, I was In a wretched state. I tried everything I heard of, took all kinds of medicine, almost enough to float & ship, but with no lasting purpose. "Last Spring, I had to give up work and went to Atlantic City. One day while strolling along the beach, i noticed a box being tossed about on the breakers and Anally thrown up on the sand. I sat down" on the sand and looked at Jt Idly at first, but after reading a few words on the box, I got Interested. It told how Grape-Nuts food was prepared and all Its good qualities, and I made up my mind thenfand there that I would try it. "I 'have not taken a drop of medicine fron; that day to this, but used about a half package of Grape-Nuts each day for two months. Then I gradually began eating meat and vegetables and fruit, and now I can eat anything I care to without distressing me, but I still cling to Grape-Nuts food, as I am fond of it prepared in various ways and never a day passes that I don't have it In some form. "After the first two months of using Grape-Nuts, I weighed myself every 15 days", and found I gained fr,om three to five pounds each time. I have been working every day- since, and can say 1 never felt better. Thanks to Grape Nuts, I now have an appetite like abllly goat and am no more troubled with a bad stomach. "I wish I could talk with every one troubled as I was. I know a good many people say; 'Oh, I've tried everything. I am tired of trying,' elc, but I say, 'Don't give up until you try Grape-Nuts- food and you will not regret it' " Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
