CHAMP CLARK'S CANDIDATE
He Springs Cockrell, of Missouri, on
Perplexed Democracy.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 29. Champ Clark deserves
credit for originality, if nothing else, in
urging the nomination of Senator Cock
rell, of his state, as the Democratic candi
date for President in 1904. But Clark has
always been original. He has apparently
had enough of Bryan, yet Is not Inclined
to take up with Gorman, Parker, Hill or
even Cleveland.
He favors Cockrell for four reasons:
"First, because of his long and distin
guished public service; then because he In
good faith supported the Democratic can
didates and platforms in 1895 and 1S00;
third, because he would be acceptable to
the business interests of the country, and,
lastly, because his record as a Confed
erate soldier would commend him to Union
veterans." . ,
Clark cannot hope that Cockrell will
ever be nominated, however. It is not
necessary to nominate a Missouri man in
order that the Democrats shall carry the'
state. Moreover, Cocltrell is not the kind
of a man to be chosen President. As a
Senator, ho is a great success. He is an
indefatigable and a most successful work
er; he is honest to a fault, and lie is gen
erally conservative. These are qualities
to be desired in a Presidential candidate,
but Cockrell lacks so many other qualifi
cations that his name will not be seri
ously considered outside of Missouri, and
perhaps not there, for the state would bo
loath to part with the services of so val
uable a man in the Senate.

CUNARD AND SHIP COMBINE.
Resources of the Tito Companies
Combined BritlsH Concern Rich.
m In the report of Ihe Cunard Line sub
mitted to the stockholders at the annual
meeting by Lord Iverclyde, chairman of
the board of directors; are figures show
ing in detail the operations of the com
pany up to December 31 last.
The main feature In the business of
1902 was the depression in freights which
continued during the whole year. Pas
senger business was good and the Immi
gration to the United States was lh ex
cess of that of the previous year. Its
working expenses for the year were
S74,409. Its office and agency expenses
at home and abroad were 57,240, while
other expenses, directors' fees, law ex
penses, auditors' fees, etc, brought the
grand total to 935,676. For repairs and
renewals of fleet 97,378 were paid. The
amount of insurance premiums paid was
44,839, while the balance transferred to
profit and loss was 247,150, making a
grand total of 1.325,044. Its Income from
freights, passenger moneys, postages, etc.,
was 1,325,044.
The general balance sheet of the com
pany at the time the report was made
up shows that its paid capitalization was
1.600,000 out of 2.000,000 authorized, and
that the valuation of Its fleet. 1.663,067.
Is almost equal to its capital stock. It
had at that time In Its Insurance and
reserve funds a total of 532,000. while it
had cash in hand at bankers and on de
posit, 140,373. The authorized dividend
for the year of 4 per cent per annum,
free of Income tax, oh the paid up capi
tal of 1.600,000 required an expenditure
of 64,000. It deducted for depreciations
to Its fleet for the year 151,712, and owed
to. sundry creditors 163,593.
Thus it is shown that the company
.could lose its entire fleet, valued at
1,663,067, pay all its debts and have left
for stockholders 37 per cent. The com
pany's fleet on December 31 consisted of
22 vessels of 111,706 gross tons and 13S.S03
Indicated horse-power. It had building
the Caspathia, 12,000 gros3 tons and
Brercla, S300 gross tons, making the
total fleet 24 vessels of the gross tonnage
of 127,006.

tons. The tonnage of the fleet Is now
up to L100.000 tons. The total fixed
charges of the Mercantile Marine Com
pany are placed at $3,034,300. The net
average earnings of the different fleets
for four years before they were amalga

PHOTOGRAPH THE VALLEY
FERTILE COUNTRY" OF THE WIL
LAMETTE TO BE DESCRIBED.
Seathern Pacific Arranged for Series
ef Articles "Will Also Issue FeltJ
er oa Western Districts.
The Southern Pacific is making prepara
tions for the publication of an article d&i
scrlpuve of the Willamette Valley, which
will be one of the most complete ever pub
lished. It Is likely a strone article will
be published In the company's monthly-
magazine. Sunset, In an early Issue, but
photographs and data have been gathered
for a series of articles dealing with the
Valley.
The passenger department of the com
pany has the matter in charge, and while
preparing for the Willamette Valley stor
ies will also got out a new folder dealing
with the western part of the state. This
folder will be sent East for general dis
tribution, as will also the Issue of Sunrise,
-which deals with the Willamette Valley;
In addition to tho two publications, the
Southern Pacific is co-operating with the
O. R. & N. in the issuance of another
booklet which will be given general dis
tribution. The work of the photographers who took
the view's for the Willamette Valley de
scriptive matter has been thorough. The
company sent its' own staff of photog
raphers through the region, and they were
instructed to pick out the best scenes
along the lino of tho road for Illustrations.
The company photographers left the
train at convenient points and were driven
through the surrounding country. Farm
scenes and bits of landscape wero taken
by the men with the cameras, and Gen
eral Passenger Agent Coman now has on
hand a number of photographs which
thoroughly Illustrate the character of the
Valley lands.
Tho Southern Pacific has not paid a
great deal of attention In the past to the
publication of illustrative matter dealing
with the scenery in the Shasta Mountains,
nor, in fact, has the mountain scenery of
the Coast division been exploited. This
policy Is probably to be changed, for the
offices of the company In San Francisco
have been sending out pictures o scenes
along the Oregon-California line during
the past few days.
General Passenger Agent Coman and G.
M. McKinney, Immigration agent for the
Harriman lines, have gone south to visit
the different points along the Southern
Pacific's line In Oregon They will prob
ably meet a representative from the Sah
Francisco offices of tho company on the
trip.
It is the Intention of Mr. Cofnan and Mr.
McKinney to create a new interest among
the Boards of Trade and promotion soci
eties of tho towns along the Southern Pa
cific In tha Immigration movement. The
Eastern bureaus are in need of new lit
erature, and the two officials will endeavor
to secure material to fill this demand.
It Is ndt likely Mr. Coman or Mr. Mc
Kinney will visit all the towns to the
south ot Portland, for this ground has
been covered before, but the larger cen
ters will be Induced to make another
showing.
All along the line of the Southern Pa
cific In Oregon reports have been coming
Into the general offices of a large Increase
In the Immigration and the people are in
a mood favorable to the plan of further
exploiting their country. Mr. McKinney
may accompany General Passenger Agent
A. L. Craig on a similar trip over the line
of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company.
Fee Leaves for Home.
Charles S. Fee, general passenger agent,
and A. D. Charlton, assistant general pas
senger agent, of the Northern Pacific, left
last night over the O. R. & N. for Spo
kane. The two railroad officials will go
as far as Wallula over the O. R. & N.,
and will then probably transfer to their
own line.
Mr. Fee Is on the way Tiome, after hav
ing spent about ten days on the Coast.
He came West at the head of a large
party of general passenger agents, who
attended the meeting of the Transcon
tinental Passenger Association, in Port
land. After that meeting Mr. Fee went
to Puget Sound and then returned to
Portland. He has been making a general
Inspection of the road.
It is the intention of Mr. Charlton to go
from Spokane to Seattle and Tacoma. He
may visit other Northwestern cities, and
will be away from Portland for a week.

The Canadian Pacific's local representa

Look Upon.
.The right food for young ladles Is of
the greatest importance to their looks', to
say nothing of the health. Thin, sallow
girls don't get the right food you may be
absolutely certain. A Brooklyn girl says:
"For a long time la. spite of all 1 coold

tried various medicines' without help.
"I often read about Grape-Nutsj but
never tried the food until one day some

CHICKER1NG & SONS.
The affair was one. long to be remembered by those
who were privileged td participate, and the Boston papers
gave much space to it. The Boston Globe says it was
an occasion that tempted the use of the superlative.
For in commemoration of the eightieth anniversary of
the establishment of the house of Chickcring & Sons
there were grouped on the platform the first piano made
by Jonas Chlckerfngj and the latest product of the
great establishment that has grown from Jonss Chicker
ing's steady, honest Industry. A singer sang, 3. J. Lang
played both the old piano and the new, the fev. Edward
Everett Hale spoke.
The audience was composed entirely of the employes of
Chlckeririg & Sons and their families, and the whole torie
of the evening was not that of a gathering of workmen
from a factory, but of artists who felt the honor of their
connection with a name, and whose great pleasure was
as much from that feeling as from hearing the product of
their hands put to Its f inest use by an artist whose work
was to use instead of to make.
The feeling of staying with each other was demon
strated by the fact that d great many of the men present
have been with the Chlckerlngs for more than .twenty
years, and one man, Mr.Chadburn, who was present, has
been In the employ Of Chlckerlngs fifty-four years.
A few years ago there
died an old employe of
Ch!ckerlrigs named Har
raden, who had been
with the house seventy
seven years. Forthe last
few years of his life the
old man could not make
pianos, but he was kept
on as a librarian; He
would have been pen
sioned, but his pride
kept fiim at what work
he could do. x
Juesday night the
Stage was decorated with
growing plants arid or
nanientai trees. The
prograrri was begun by Miss Mary Ogllvie, who sang most
charmingly five songs, two in French two in English arid
orfej from Puccini's "La Boheme," In Italian. She was
accompanied by Mrs. S. B field.
Then Dr. Hale rose from his seat in the audience and
walked behind the scenes-, to reappear on the platform In
the most delightfully Informal fashion.
Dr. Hale described In detail ihe life of the New Hamp
shire boy, who learned to be a cabinetmaker arid a ma
chinist, who came to Boston to work vvlth Osborn, the
0lano maker, and who In a few years launched out for
himself and achieved a reputation that has never fallen
from the high place he gave it..
The doctor chatted Interestingly about old Boston, read
the glowing tribute paid to Jonas Chlckerlng as a man
by Phillips, the Irish singer, and told several anecdotes
illustrating his point that all'through Jonas Chfckerlng's
life he kept to the motto later formulated as uEack for
allj all for each."
He compared the gathering t& the family of a ffiari of
war, which he said comprised as many people as Chfck
erlng's factory. "The differefice," he said, "Is that each
one of you Is to a certain extent an artist, arid that you
have beeri actuated by some love 'of beauty, love of mu
Sic." He commented on the fact that the year 1822 In
which Chlckerlng; left Osborn, was the year of Grants
birth, of Henry Kidderis Birth and of his own birtfh Me
counted as most important, however,- the beginning f
Chlckerlng's work of tarrying through the woHd the
motto of "Each for ail and all for each"
Mr. Lang played on the first piano built by Chlckeririg
"The Battle of Prague,' and got an astonishing effct
out of the old instruments The little square piano had a
tone with a charm all Its own, like nothing So much as
mellow, distant bells. He then played on the great
modern grand, with wonderful touch and command, a
jneveritent frdrri one of Liszt's Hungarian rhapsodies, arkl
even consented to respond to an ericdre The plana
builders, who have known good music ail their lives,
were wildly enthusiastic.
Part of Chlckerlng's good vvill to his employes has
been shown by repeated chamber concerts at the factory
during noon hours or In the afternoons, when famatis
players have made the "drawing room' ring with ndbk
music, and workmen from the departments have taken
new pride back to their work.
Tuesday night's programs were artistic souvenirs of the
occasion. Bound in rich brown toVers, they contained a
portrait of Jonas Chlckerlng, the words of Miss OglrVfe's
songs; a picture of the first piano," a fatf-slmite of Hs
bill of sale, a picture of the old factory on Washington
street and one of the present great establishment cm
Tremont street.
