London Society Girl's Slang.
London Dispatch to Chicago Chronicle.
A visitor at a fashionable West End
theater In London recently volunteered
the suggestion that something
J done in the way of modifying xhe kind of
language wnsch the 3)th century girl sees
fit to employ, both In and out of season.
The immediate cause of these reflections
was a remark overheard when coming out
of the theater.
The speaker was a pretty and refined
looking girl, and she was accompanied by
an aristocratic, but worried-looking man.
She had Just emerged from the women's
cloakroom after the performance, and as
he hetped her on with her cloak, he re
marked, apologetically. "I am afraid you
have not enjoyed yourself very much."
She parted her ruby lips in a smile, and
spirited out of them the following para
lyzing reply: "Well, nothing to call a
heap! I think it's about the mouldlest
old rotter of a piece that r'e ever seen!
But It isn't that that's worrying me Just
now. It's that loathsome old cloakroom
I've Just come out of. I tell you tnere's
the most putrid bear fight going on In
there that I have ever hustled through."
And all this in the most natural manner
possible, though in a voice so pitched that
no one In the vestibule could possibly
escape overbearing.
Commercial Club Receives Messages of Congratulation
Continued
From Page 36
Pacific Northwest during the present
year and we cannot help feeling that the
Lewis and Clark Exposition will very ma
terially stimulate immigration to the
North Pacific Coast country. We are
fully alive to the Importance of 'doing
everything we possibly can to stimulate
the attendance at your Fair, and you can
rest assured this effort will receive our
earnest attention."
Extends Congratulations.
J. M. Connell. general agent Atchison.
Toneka & Santa Fe. Chicago: "I wish to
congratulate the Commercial Club on the
very excellent and far-reaching advertis
ing It is giving the Lewis- and Clark Ex
position and the upper coast country.
Especially do I think you are displaying
excellent judgment In so actively and en
ergetically keeping the Exposition before
the eyes and in the minds of the passen
ger and ticket agents throughout the
East. It Is sure to result In good. I
thank you for matter received In the
past and will be pleased If you will keep
me on your mailing list."
Mr. James B. Melkle, secretary of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, bas
worked In and out of season for a large
appropriation on the part of the State of
Washington for a proper showing of that
state at the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
The correspondence between the Portland
Commercial Club and the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce Is practically continuous.
In transmitting resolutions passed by the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce In favor
of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Mr.
Melkle says: "This resolution reflects the
sentiment of our business men. We Join
Portland in an Interest for the develop
ment of the whole Northwest. Oregon as
well as Washington. The prosperity of
our cities depends In a large measure
upon the development of the resources of
the country behind them, and in that our
Interests are Identical. We feel that we
should work together for the common
good of the whole Northwest country. I
do not mean that there should be no
rivalry between us on the contrary, I be
lieve that competition will add strength
to both, but there should be no bitter
ness In the competition and there should
be no unkind words. We can. help each
other in many ways without sacrificing
any of- our interests. We should always
bear in mind that every cargo of wheat
and every carload of lumber shipped from
the Columbia. River or from Puget Sound
Jb rings into the Northwest its value In
money, which, distributed among so
many, means more trade for the mer
chants and manufacturers of both states
and more prosperity for all. If we stand
together and. rprk together for the com
mon Interests of all with 'live and help
live as our watchword, we can rest as
sured that success will crown our efforts."
Edition Very Valuable.
Out of the vast number of immigration
agents who are working to develop Ore
gon and the Pacific Northwest, none are
more active than Mr. A. S. Thompson,
of Waterloo, Iowa. He says: "After my
visit to Oregon the comprehensive New
Year's edition of The Oregonlan Is ex
traordinarily valuable. I am under obli
gations to the Commercial Club for sup
plying information to the hundreds of
Iowa addresses I have furnished. Not
only will many people from this section
visit the Lewis and Clark Exposition, but
many will remain to become permanent
citizens of Oregon."
General Passenger and Ticket Agent O.
W. Ruggles. of the Michigan Central
Railroad. Chicago, a line which will
bring thousands of people, writes most
Interestingly: "It needs but a glance at
the map to show that Portland of today,
splendid city as it Is. Is but an Infant
compared to the great metropolis she will
become within the lifetime of men now
living. The Lewis and Clark Exposition
Is but her coming-out party to Introduce
her to the world."
Will Make Special Effort.
A- C. Shaw, general agent, passenger
department, Canadian Pacific Railway,
Chicago: "Speaking for the Canadian
Pacific Railway. I wish to say that, so far
as promoting travel to the Lewis and
Clark Exposition from the territory In
the Chlcaso district, comprising the Mid
dle Western States, that It is our inten
tion to make a special effort, and we be
lieve that the attraction of tho Exposi
tion, added to the magnificent scenery
along the line of our road, combined with
the cheap rates, will draw a larger num
ber of tourists than In any previous year.
The Commercial Club's plan of compiling
a mailing list furnished by citizens of
Portland and Oregon is an admirable one,
and will bring good Tesults."
Charles F. Seeger, general agent of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company, at
New York City, was a recent visitor to
Portland, and. after expressing his
thanks for the hospitality enjoyed here,
he says:
"I shall have no hesitancy in recom
mending to all the advisability of visit
ing Portland next Summer and enjoying
your great city, and to see what I am
sure will be an Exposition worthy in all
respects for the people of the Atlantic
seaboard to spend the time and money to
see, not only the present prosperity of
your country, but also the enormous pos
sibilities for the future."
TJ. L. Trultt, New York City general
Eastern passenger agent of t?e Chesa
peake & Ohio Railway Company: "I desire
to compliment the Commercial Club on
tne very capable and direct advertising It
Is doing for the Lewis and Clark Centen
nial Exposition. The management is wise
in running the Exposition 'for three and
a half months only your attendance will
be Just as large an though it continued
for five or six months."
All Are Talking Portland.
E. Drake, district passenger agent Rock
Island system. Salt Lake City: "All' of
Utah and Western Colorado included in
my territory are talking Portland for next
year, and from all Indications the attend
ance will be large."
C S. Richmond, president Richmond
Business College. Savannah. Ga.: "This
section of the South will be wellyepresent
ed at the Lewis and Clark Exposition next
Summer. Ell P. Smith, vice-president and.
associate editor of the Birmingham (Ala.)
News, has. given the Exposition repeated
mention editorially and otherwise. In
acknowledging receipt of a clipping from
The Oregonlan with reference to the iron
statue of "Vulcan." which the Birming
ham Commercial Club will exhibit at the
Exposition. Mr. Smith writes that he will
take pleasure in printing the article in
the News and anticipates the pleasure
of visiting the Exposition.
Reports from various officials of the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Company
are to the effect that the Exposition is
already attracting considerable attention
and that It will be advertised extensively
by that system.
W. D. Connell. traveling passenger
agent Burlington system, writes from Buf
falo: "1 am particularly impressed with
the able and businesslike way in which
the Portland Commercial Club Is using the
Lewis and Clark Exposition as a. means
to develop Oregon."
The passenger and freight officials of the
Northern Pacific, who visited Portland, all
united in an expression of surprise at the
advancement that had been made, and
their letters alone would fill a page of The
Oregonlan.
Mr. G. A. A. Deane, Jr., traveling pas
senger agent of the Missouri Pacific sys
tem. Indianapolis, is working up a great
Lewis and Clark special, and his efforts
have atti acted attention to thie section In
many portions of Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio. His latest advices state that the
special will be a grand success.
Mr. S. A. Hutchinson, of Chicago, man
ager of the tourist department of the Chi
cago, Union Pacific & Northwestern
lines. Is making an extended trip over the
country in the organization of personally
conducted tourist excursions to the Expo
sition. In all the various interviews with
him In the We3t he ives special mention
to the Lew's and Clark Exposition- In a
recent letter he says It is his intention
this Summer to get up several excursions
from the East to Portland, and he will
visit this city early In February to make
arrangements for two special trains.
A compilation of extracts from letters
similar to the above could be continued
Indefinitely, but they would merely repeat
what has been said.. From every section
of the United States there come con
gratulations and the assurance on the
part of railroad officials everywhere that
the Lewie and Clark Exposition will be
advertised as has been no former event.
The commercial clubs of the extreme East
and the extreme South, as well as those
of the Middle West, and the newspapers
everywhere, are a unit In promising every
reasonable assistance towards making the
Exposition not only creditable to the great
Pacific Northwest, but to the country as
a whole.
Disadvantages of Indoor Training.
Leonldas Hubbard, Jr.. In Outing.
One of the chief drawbacks to indoor
training for track work la the fact that
men do not. In any gymnasium I know
of, get Into condition so fast as they do
In equally hard work out of doors. The
case of distance runners is good for illus
tration. No man has been able to do so
well on the mile within doors as on the
cinder track outside. Of course the pad
ded track and the style of "shoes have
something to do with this, but the atmos
phere seems to be responsible in a greater
degree. No gym where scores of men are
working and perspiring can have the pure
air one finds outdoors, and where a large
part of the conditioning relates to "wind"
thlsrls an evident handicap. Trainers dif
fer ae to the effects of Indoor work, prob
ably because their gymnasia are different
ly ventilated. One contends that while
men can be brought to nearly the same
physical condition under Indoor work. It
takes a much longer time to do so. An
other holds that a man's outdoor condi
tion can never be reached through indoor
training. It is a notable fact, on which
athletes and their trainers agree, that a
man may train faithfully with little im
provement on the Indoor track, and then,
going out, find that results come with
twice the rapidity which work in the gym
produced.
