10 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAy, PORTLAND", JUNE 28, 1903. MUSTHAVE BUILDING To Represent Oregon at St Louis Exposition. OPINION OF MRS. MONTGQMER Headquarter Xeeded for Oregoa, ad Buildtnff Would Be Means of "Wiiuilng: aiiKsbnri'a Friendship la. .Secnrlnsr National Aid. "The foundation of the success of tho Lewis and Clark Fair Is at the St Louis Exposition,' said Mrs. Mary Phelps Mont gomery, a member of the Board of Lady Managers of the St. Louis Exposition, In discussing the wisdom of having- an Ore gon State building at St. Louis. Mrs. Montgomery" has decided opinions on tho subject, and they are directly opposed to those expressed by President Jefferson Myers, of the State Lewis and Clark Fair Commission. "Did you ever know of a man who ran a successful political campaign without headquarters? N early every other state will have Its own building, for they realize the need of headquarters where they can talk to people of the advantages of their states, can advertise and hold social func tions which go far In the work of making a good impression. We do not need building to display Oregon exhibits, for they must go in the general exhibits In or der to compete for premiums, but It is not by -winning premiums that Oregon will at tract people. Tou must get them Into your own headquarters." Mrs. Montgomery has very decided opln ions on the subject of women's part in the St Louis Exposition, one of which is that they should go into competition with men on equal terms, so that, when they win, they may win not because they aro wo men, but because their work is best For this reason she opposes a separate dls play of women's work. Her opinion on women's part in tho St. Louis Fair was fully expressed in an address to the Federated Women's Clubs of Oregon at Astoria recently, in which she said: OreKon Display at St, Louie. It Is with pleasure that I stand before you this evening and have the opportunity presented of telling you a little about the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and ask lng through you that every clubwoman In tho State of Oregon will exert her influ ence to the success of the great Exposl tlon in St. Louis in 1904. I earnestly believe that a creditable rep resentation of the State of Oregon at the Loui&iana Purchase Exposition will be tho foundation of the Lewis and Clark Fair of 1303. I also feel that every dollar spent and every effort made will be re turned to you ten times over and con tribute materially to the success of the" Lewis and Clark Fair in 1903. I feci It is not out of place to define the position and duties of the .Board of Lady Managers for the Louisiana Purchase Ex position. Many objections have been made to this name lady managers, but that name was given to us by act of Congress and can only be changed by act of Con gress. The territory purchased by Jefferson we now nave maae into i states Colorado, Montana, South Dakota, Indian Territory. Arkansas, Minnesota. North DaktJta, Mls- Oklahoma and Louisiana. This purchase was consummated by President Thomas Jefferson in 1803. "Without this purchase w e never could have used th6 country west of tho Rocky Mountains. There never could have been an exploring party headed by Lewis and Clark, for It would have ocen impossiDie to pass through a foreign territory of many hundreds of miles to reach the shores of the Pacific and to pos sess ourselves of that beautiful Oregon and wasnington discovered by captain Gray some years previous. Function of Lady lannRcrs. The act of Congress giving t,o the Louisi ana Purchase Exposition Company over six millions of dollars to celebrate the Louisiana purchase created a National commission of nine men "who shall be appointed within 30 days from the passage of this act, by the President of the United States, who shall also be subject to re moval by him." In section 6 of this same act it is provided that "said commission Is hereDy authorized to appoint a board of lady managers of such number and to per form such duties as may be prescribed by said commission, subject however to the approval of said compSny. Said Board of Lady Managers may irthe discretion of said commissions appoint one member of all committees authorized to award prizes for such exhibits as may have been pro duced in whole or in part by female la bor." ihe creation of a board of lady man- agers was not provided for In a mandators' way. It was left optional with the com mission whether to bring into being a board of lady managers. The number and membership of the board was left to the commission, subject to the approval of the Exposition company. The members were named by the commission with a view to securing broad geographical rep resentation as well as special fltness for ue Discharge of the duties imposed upon them. Governors and other state officials were consulted In many cases and every effort was made to bring together a board of earnest representative women. Carter Admits the Xeed. President Carter, of the National Com mission, says: "When the board was llnally agreed upon and Its membership determined, we felt that the work of women In connection with the Exposition had been under an appropriate rule amply provided for and the authority trans ferred to the Board of Lady Managers. Had the commission felt entirely confi dent to determine the plan and scope of womrn's work in connection with the Ex position, the expense of a Board of Lady Managers would, as a matter of ordinary economic admlnlstntlon. have "been dis pensed with." It would seem to me If 100 of the most prominent citizens of St. Louis and the National Commission of nine men chosen by the President of the United States feel themselves unable to Insure success of an exposition without the aid of women, surely our own Lewis and Clark Board and Oregon State Commission will be obliged to call in the help of all the earnest, thinking women of this great state to insure the success of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. No Special lluilulnf; "Wanted. At the first meeting of the Board of Lady Managers the ladles decided they did not want a special building for the ex hibits of woman's work. A woman's de partment belongs to the kindergarten stage of woman's development as indus trial producers. There was one at Chi cago, of course, but women have pro gressed since then. When women's ex hibits are confined to a snrclnl wnmsn's department. It is really an acknowlodg- niviii ui women s industrial inrerlorltv. The best compliment that can be paid wfmen Is to have their work dlsplaved side by side with man's nnd judged on" Its merits without any Allowances on account oi sex. Ana tnat will be done at St. Louis. Mrs. Montgomery gave a graphic de scription of the dedication ceremonies at St Louis. But in my description of this great dedi cation I must not forget the rules adopt ed by the National Commission of Feb ruary 7. 1902. and approved bv the Exposi tion Company, defining the duties of the Boird of Lady Managers. "First To appoint one member of all committees authorized to award prizes for such exhibits as may have been produced in whole or In part by female labor. Second To exercise general supervis ory control over such features of the Ex position a3 may be specially devoted to woman's work. Third To tike part in the ceremonies connected with the dedication of the build ings of the Exposition, and in all official functions, upon the request of the com pany and the commission. "Fourth To elect such officers, appoint such committees and to make and pro- j mulgatc suclf rules and regulations as may oe acemea necessary lor the eincient discharge of the duties aforesaid; pro vided, that said board shall not make any expenditures nor Incur any financial ob ligation except under authority previously obtained from the company and the com mission." Objects to One Role. The Board of Lady Managers objects to this last rule, and has appointed a committee to wait upon Congress at the next session with a petition that 5100. 000 of the 55,009,000 already appropri ated by Congress to the Exposition shall be set aside for the use of the Board of Lady Managers in legitimate exposition work not for a building, as the St. Louis executive committee has already placed at the disposal of the Board of Lady Managers a beautiful permanent fireproof building for all social functions, which, at the close of the Exposition, will become the physics building for Washington University. The $100,000 asked for will be spent In erecting and equipping a day nursery where any mother may leave her helpless little ones while she enjoys the Exposition, and to entertain distinguished women and women's societies, and such other social and philanthropic work as may be pre sented to the' Board of Lady Managers. Takes Inane With. Mr. Myers. But my object in being here tonight is not so much to tell you of the glories of the St. Louis Exposition as to interest ; you in seeing that Oregon is suitably represented at this exposition. I have seen In the paper that Mr. Myers, of Salem, who is the chairman of the Ore gon State Commission, has" declined to , expend any of the $50,000 In a State build ing, but that all of the money appropri- ! ated by the last Legislature must be ex pended In gathering together exhibits. I ( certainly think this a great mistake, for we an oi ua Know now much the social part has to do with the success of every undertaking. In the prospectus of tho Lewis and Clark Exposition It is laid down that it will be also an Oriental Exposition, and in this connection I would like to say the reported action of the Japanese Diet in annronrlntlnir HX. 000 yen ($400,000) for the Japanese exhibit at St. Louis has been confirmed to Com missioner Barrett In cables he has Just received from the high Japanese officials. This means that the Japanese represen tation will not only be the largest she has ever made abroad, but Insures tho construction of a magnificent building which will be a copy of the famous Nagoya Castie. which Is the moat beauti ful building In the Mikado's kingdom. I think that out of the 46 states haye accepted the sites for their state buildings, and it would seem to me that, after having participated in other ex positions, if 43 states feel that it is neces sary to the success of their exhibit to have a state building, Oregon makes a great mistake In not having a building of her own. Next Winter Congress will be asked for aid for the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Oregon has only four Con gressional delegates, Missouri has 17. Do we not need the friendship and help of these 17 men? This is a world of give and take, but if Oregon does not make a fair representation In St. Louis how can she ask Missouri's aid In Congress? WOMEN AT CHAUTAUQUA Lecture and Parliament by Mrs. Bur dette Features of Assembly. The Women's Clubs of the state are tak ing an unusual interest in tho coming ses sion of the Chautauqua which will begin at Gladstone Park on Tuesday, July 14, j and close July 26. The assembly from start to finish will be crowded full of good tnings irom the opening lecture by Sen ator Dolllver to the closing one by the Hon. Champ Clark. But the absorbing topic of" discussion among clubwomen Is the appearance upon the Chautauqua platform of Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, the first vice-president of the National Federation of Women's Clubs. This talented lady, outside of her repu tation and standing in the National or ganization of Federated Clubs, is an ex ceedingly bright and entertaining speaker. The Chautauqua management has set apart Tuesday, July 21, as Woman's day. and In the afternoon, besides an elaborate literary and musical programme," Mrs. Burdette will deliver a lecture on "Tho Care of the Junior Citizen." This lecture will no doubt be long remembered by the thousands of clubwomen who will crowd the beautiful park at that time. As a fitting close to a memorable day. Mrs. Walter Reed, of Portland, the mu sical conductor at this assembly, will give a grand concert and will be assisted by the best musical talent of the" state. The name of Mrs. Reed as the manager and conductor Is sufficient guarantee to the people of Oregon that the concert will be Just what It Is intended to be the best ever presented on a Chautauqua platform in Oregon. In addition to the lecture Mrs. Burdette will conduct a women's parliament on the following days of the assembly, and will open up a discussion of subjects named: Thursday, July 16 "What Has the Club Done for the Individual Woman, the Home and the Community? What Has the Indi vidual Done for Her Club?" Friday. July 17 "Why Study (a) House hold Economics, (b) Child-Labor Prob lems, (c) Forestry, (d) Civics, (e) Civil Service?" Saturday, July 18 "Federations. Then- Uses and Functions." Monday, July 50 "Club Reciprocity and Club Etiquette." Tuesday, July 21 "Possibilities of the Twentieth-Century Woman." W ednesday, July 22 Question box. On a day hereafter to be selected the City Federation of Women's Clubs of Port" land will give a reception on the Chautau qua grounds to Mrs. Burdette. A large, airy tent will be provided by the associa tion for the women's parliament, and com fortable seats will be provided. All wom en are requested to Inform themselves on the subjects of the dally programme, so as to aid in the discussion. Country Lunch Postponed. On account of rain, the' country lunch arranged by the Portland Hunt Club was postponed from yesterday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. July 4. At 3 o'clock P. M. on that date members will assemble two blocks from the Thompson School. East Side, and from this point trails will lead to where refreshments will be served several miles out into the country. Horsemen and horsewnmen will follow trails of white paper, and people In car riages red paper. AL KADER NOBLES J. G.

DRAW LITTLE- TRAVEL LOW RATES DO JfOT STIMULATE EASTS OtWD TRAFFIC PasncHsrer Men "WTio Expected a Bis Rasa Are Rewarded With Only Slight Increase. The east bound travel attracted by tho low rates granted by transcontinental lines In favor of the big National conven tions Is not averaging as well as It 'did early In June, when similar rates were put Into effect. There has been a slight increase in the eastbound travel, but If passenger men expected a big rush, they will be disappointed. The sale of tickets on June 4 and 5, the first time the low rates were offered, was unusually heavy. Every car pulling out of Portland was filled with excursionists or peoplo who were compelled to make an MRS. MARY PHELPS MONTGOMERY 1 MEMBER OF BOARD OF LADY 31 AX AGERS OF ST. LOUIS EXPOSI TIO.V, WHO URGES THAT OREGOX BE WELL REPRESENTED. Eastern trip and had waited for the low rates. The. traffic at that time was al most unprecedented In Its proportions, the recoras ior years having been broken. Passenger traffic agents expected a re petition of this rush when the low fares were put into effect on June 24. but they counted upon a traffic that' did not exist. The business, it Is reliably reported, of June 4 and 5 was as heavy as that of four days under the more recent sale, and there Is every likelihood that the same apathy toward the reduced fares will con tinue during the rest of tne month. The low rates are to go Into effect again July 12 to 16 Inclusive, August IS and 13 and August 25 to 25. It may be that those who desired to make an early Summer trip to the East took advantage of tho low rates given early this month, and the late Summer traffic will be delayed until July and August. The theory' of the re duced fares, however, was that it would Induce a heavy traffic incidental to the National gatherings and prove a profit able offering on all of the dates specified. While the reduction In fares Is consid erable, many travelers are going East at the recular rates who mftrht tnV n vantage of the excursion offering, .and it is a question traffic men are considering where there Is any special advantage in offering the low rates. IF would be prac tically impossible to refuse them, so tho speculation Is not of any significance whatever conclusion may be drawn. Inquiries have been directed toward the low rates of the coming two months, and It Is likely that many Coast residents will go East at that time. However, It Is be lieved the business will not come up to tho expectations of the Transcontinental Passenger Association, which made the rates. RATES MAY BE FERMAXEXT. One Resalt of War Stnrted by St. v Paul-Chicago Lines. Developments in the rate war of St. Paul-Chicago lines . have not Indicated that a change is likely to occur soon. The advices received by representatives of these systems all tend to show that the statement that the rates will continue in effect for at least six months, and pos sibly permanently, was well founded. None of the railroads are prepared to withdraw the low fares, and some of the weak lines have asserted anew their In tention to make the low fares a per manent offering. In the event this proves to be true, there will. In all probability, be a. whole sale scaling of rates east of the Missouri River. The Burlington and Union Pacific must meet the rates given by the North ern transcontinental lines, and they can not be expected to absorb any more of the Omaha-Chicago rate than they have GO TO IMPERIAL COUNCIL G. M. Hyland. in the past. The Omaha and Kansas CItv lines granted the two roads a reduced fare to use as a haslnc rate, and would be compelled to make this reduction per manent if the St Paul-Chicago lines do. All of this would have a marked tend ency toward the establishment of a straight 2-cents-per-mlle passenger rate In the middle states. It is something that is certain to come in time. and. passen ger men stationed In Portland insist the present rate war is a long step In that direction. It may even mean the early regradlng of rates. Admits Rebates Were Gives. CHICAGO. June 27. Harry Gower. as sistant freight traffic manager of the Rock Island Railroad, before the Interstate Commerce Commission today, declared tho Union Pacific arrangement with Peavey & Co. amounted to the payment to the latter concern for service which Is not for the benefit of the railroad, and which put other roads at a. disadvantage because the grain people generally are beginning to demand similar payments. Other officials whose testimony was damaging to the case of the Union Pa ciflc were "Vice-President Miller, of the Burlington: G. H. Crosby, ' assistant freight traffic manager of the same sys tem, and Chairman Tucker, of the Cen tral Freight Association. Britain Contradicts the Disaster. LONDON. June 27. The War Office has received a telegram from Somallland en abling It to contradict the Flench report of a British disaster. The War Office dis patch received today was sent by General Manning from Bohotle June 26, and an nounced his arrival there unopposed. He captured a number of the Mullah's cam els and sheep on his way to Bohotle. The General said the Mullah with his fighting men had crossed the British line of com .munlcations half way between Damol and Bohotle. The Mullah's move was due to the British hold of the Mundug district and the pressure of the Abyslnlans who are advancing from the south. General Man ning ado?d: "This flight of the Mulluh would have been turned Into a rout If It should be possible to send a column of sufficient strength from Bohotle. Many prisoners have been captured and the tribesmen are disorganized." Busiest Corner of the City. Northern Pacific passenger men. located at the general offices of the company, at Third and Morrison streets, and the street-car officials have been speculating upon the number of cars that pass this point every 24 hours. Yesterday it was announced that the nnmhor "ho v.n found to be 1200. This -figure was verified by both the passenger men and the street car officials. This clearly demonstrates the fact that me comer at xnira and Morrison streets is the busiest street-car center of the city. The cars that pass the point on all lines reach practically all of the East km a nic. trict, and some of them cover the other siae oi me river. Pennsylvania Stock Subscribed. PHILADELPHIA. June 27.

Legislative Act Licensing: Foreign aad Domestic Corporations De clared to Be Doable Taxation. . A suit will soon be filed to test the con stitutionality of the act passed at the ses sion of the Legislature of 1903 licensing do mestic and foreign corporations, requiring them to file reports In the office of the Secretary of State between June 1 and July 1 each year of the amount of stock sub scribed, business transacted and other In formation. Attorney Charles J. Schnabel says he has been authorized by about 15 corpora tions, local and foreign, to bring such a proceeding. The defendants to the suit will be the Secretary of State and State Treasurer. The annual licenses range from $10 to "$200. and the Secretary of State has sent blank forms to officers of domestic corpo rations and of foreign corporations doing business In Oregon, and to perrons hold ing power of attorney for; corporations. These forms show the kind of information wanted, and Includes the names of the"of flcers, managing agent, attorney In fact and postoffice address. Mr. Schnabel, speaking about the newK law and its effects, said: "It Is unconstitutional. It is double tax ation, and not uniform. It Is called a li cense, but Is revenue-producing. "The Secretary of State has demanded -a report from all corporations doing busi ness In Oregon. That goes so far ns' to mean that If I write to Montgomery, Ward & Co. In Chicago to send me a bill of goods they are liable for taxes In this state. Any outside corporation filllnc mall orders would be liable. If a corporation In another state send3 a traveling salesman here to take orders, the corporation' would have to pay the license. I believe the Secretary of State holds that all corpora tions doing any business whatever In this state are Included, but I understand he has asked Attorney-General Blackburn for an opinion as to how far-reaching the law Is, and. If a corporation that has no branch here is liable. "Salesmen here representing foreign cor porations cannot be taxed; that would be a violation of the Interstate commerce law. A citizen of another state is entitled to the same Immunities nd privileges as a local man. The law cannot discriminate." IXSPECTIOX LAWS COXFLICT. United States and Oregon Statutes Cover Same Subject. The stock-in3pectlon law of the United States conflicts with the law of Oregon on the same subject. So says United States District Attorney John H. Hall, but he has not examined the law so as to Judge what the effect may be. In fact, his attention has Just been called to the matter through a communication received by him from 1 Southern Oregon. A receipt tts inclosed ! with the communication showing that J. H. Messner, Stock Inspector of Jackson -County, appointed by the County Court under the state law, charged a stockman $20 for certifying that certain stock was examined and found to be sound and free from infectious and contagious disease. The state law covers numerous pages in .the code, and provides that stock cannot .be brought into the state until It has been 'examined and found to be not diseased, or moved from one county to another with out such Inspection, and many other J tnings to prevent the spread oi contagious j and Infectious disease among sheep and cattle." Stock can be quarantined when necessary, and fees are collected by .the Inspectors In certain cases, and mileage. The inspectors also receive salaries as au thorized by the County Courts. The United States statute on the same subject provides: "Whenever any Inspector or assistant inspector of the Bureau of Animal Indus try shall Issue a certificate showing that such officer has inspected any cattle or other livestock and found them free from Texas or splenetic fever. Infection, pleuro pneumonia, foot-and-mouth disease or oth er Infectious, contagious or communicable disease, such animals so Inspected and cer tified may be shipped, transported or driven from such place through any state or territory-" The officers of the Bureau of Animal In dustry mentioned do not charge fees for Inspecting stock, and a certificate from the Inspector permits the removal of the stock through a state or territory. If this certificate is good and costs nothing, a stock or sheep raiser who desires to trans port his animals from one state to another or through a state does not desire a sec ond Inspection by a state officer, especial ly when he has to pay for It. It Is, how ever, possible to have a National as well as a state law covering the same subject, both of which people must obey, and this may be a case of the kind. An example Is found In the llquor-llcense statutes. The Federal Government exacts payment of a United States Internal revenue license, and liquor-sellers must also pay city or county license under a state law. ALL EXCEPT THE KEYHOLE Everything: About a Bankrupt Sa loon Covered by Attachments. Who Is the real owner of the stock and fixtures of ihe Cycle Saloon at Sixth and Stark streets must be decided by a sher iffs Jury this week. There are more claims against the property than Its value can satisfy, and nothing but the keyhole In the door Is unattached. Adolph and Fred Grether were tho proprietors of the saloon. Their affairs became tangled and their creditors began to attach everything about the place. The first claim came from A. Kopp, of , Astoria, who wanted JS0 for beer. Then A. Walter Wolfe, as attorney for L. War ner, filed a claim In the Circuit Court to recover on the stock and a part of the fixtures. E. Chambers asked for $230, and Slg. Slchel for $C0. When the first "Suit was filed In the Justice's Court, Constable Jackson closed tho place. A Frledner wanted to collect on a beerpump, and Fred T. Merrill claimed the. bar. The bar tender followe with a Hen upon the con cern for his wages.. The Grethers claim that the closing of their saloon Is simply an attempt to shut them out and place another man on the stand, which Is a valuable corner. SLUMP IN MINING OUTPUT Montana. "Produced 22 Per Cent Less Metal Last Year Than Usual. HELENA. Mont., June 27. The metal output of Montana for 1902, as shown by the annual report to the director of the mint by B. H. Tatem, assayer in charcre of the United Statesi Assay Office in Hel ena, -was J4S.3SL167, a decrease of about 22 per cent from last year. The decrease was due to lower prices for copper and lead. During 1201 the average market price of electrolytic copper was H6.117 per cwt, and only JU.62G for 1S02. The produc tion for 1302 was as follows: Gold. 54.400.- 055; silver, 17.622.2S5; copper, 2i,605,0Ci; lead, J332.717. Mr. Tatem's report shows that copper ores of Butte carry more gold than formerly. On the whole the mining Industry in Montana, Mr. Tatem says. Is flourishing, and the production for the present year promises to be greater than that for ISO. Te Brlnj? Settlers to Oregon.
