B. 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 - )

& & 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

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?

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

THE FOREST FIRE IAW
FINES AND IMPRISONMENT FOR
THOSE WHO SET FIRES.
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

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,

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.

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
