IwiDmanWolfe St Qtg KIDS THE FA Associated Press Doing Great Publicity Work. SENDS OUT DAILY REPORT Every Portion of Country Is Reached. TAKES IN GREAT DAILIES Several Million Words Have Already Been Printed Through Efforts of Associated Press Of fice in Portland. Much publicity has been given to the intentions of the railroads whose lines center In this city, widely to advertise the Lewis and Clark Centennial. It is not so well known that the important factor in bringing: the great Fair before the eye of the entire country and the potent Influence which convinced the railroads themselves that the Exposition was to be more than a local event was the Associated Press. More than ten months ago this' power ful agency of publicity commenced the dissemination of news of general interest concerning the Centennial to its 430 leased wire subscribers. This clientele constitutes the largest and most Influential publica tions in each district of the United States and Canada, exactly as its subscriber In this city. The Orcgonian, covers the Pa cific Northwest district. During these ten months, according to the statement of S. B. Vincent, the North west correspondent ot the association. made to a reporter, there have been sent 22,090 words from the Portland office alone. This number of words printed in -130 different papers aggregates 9,900.000 words. SOOO columns, or over 1200 ordi nary newspaper pages. Sunday Opening Announced. A very late instance of the work be ing done by the Associated Press oc curred yesterday, when it sent out to all parts of the country 400 words stating that the Fair will be open on Sunday. The question of Sunday open ing has been agitated concerning every Fair that has been held, and the fact that the Portland Fair will not close will be published -ejrerywhere this morning. This one instance is prob ably the .biggest .piece of, publicity that the Fair has .had. ' It is some- trouble for Mr. Vincent to send out all this? matter, as. he gathers a great deal of the news : himself and relies on "the publicity department of the Fair for only a portion of it. But he has very gladly done all the exploit ing that he could by putting Fair news on the wire. Gets Prominent Place. The advantage of having the aid of the Associated Press is that its news has a prominent place in. all papers. served by It. Exchanges from all part3 of the country show that the Fair news has in most cases been given un usual prominence, often appearing on the first page of the paper. When it Is remembered that of the 70,000.000 or more people in this country the greater portion read dally papers served by the Associated Press, some notion of the breadth of the work being done by the local office can be obtained. More over, the messages are being sent out every day and keep the Fair constant ly before the whole country as no other possible means of exploitation could do. The figures quoted regarding the amount of publicity given the Fair by the Associated Press are taken from the records of the local office to the end of December. Since then 3000 words have been sent out, and as the time for opening the Fair comes the news of general interest that would properly be included in the Associated Press report will undoubtedly increase. During the time the Fair is on there will be happenings constantly which will be a portion of the smallest "pony" report that is sent to a country newspaper. By this means the Fair will be exploited to the full extent and will attract as much attention as the St. Louis Exposition. PAY HOMAGE TO BTJBNS. Caledonian Club Holds Fitting Cele bration of Great Poet's Birthday. The Caledonian Club last night, in Caledonia Hall, 162 Second street, cele brated the anniversary of the birth of the immortal Scotch poet, Robert Burns, most auspiciously. Worthy Chief Joseph Duncan presided. An ap propriate programme was arranged for the evening, which afforded many of the old Scotch songs, the dances of the clans and the dialect, which only Scotchman may appreciate. Eulogies of the great poet were a conspicuous part af the programme. Consistent with Scotch traditions, the younger generation was encouraged In every manner possible and In song and dance alike children participated. much to the gratification of the hearty Clansmen and their families. The pe culiar harmony of the pipes, so dear to Scotchmen, was very appropriate of the occasion. Concluding the pro gramme, light refreshments were served which were partaken of heart ily. A ball closed the evening's enter talnment. LEAGUE TO NAME TICKET. Citizens' Organization Will Seek Con trol of St. Johns' Affairs. At the last meeting of the "Honest Gov ernment League," of St. Johns, Judge Green presiding. C. R. Organ, lir reporting on the new charter, said It had been "rail roaded" through at the public meeting in St. Johns, and also at the Legislature, without giving the opposition opportunity to be heard. In view of the fact that the charter bad been passed and had received the Governor's signature, there, was noth ing to do but submit to the inevitable. The chairman of the meeting then criti cised the city government for granting franchises to corporations- without the nubile receivlns: any benefit "la return. Most of the acts of the administration re ceived a rap. Chairman Green announced that the organization had been started to further the Interests of St. Johns, and that when the time comes the league will nominate the best man it can find. On motion, the .name of the club- was changed to "Citizens Good-Government League." C. E Royer. W. R. Pettigrew. A. H. Blackburn. .M. I. Crook. Martin Nelson and C. R. Organ were adde&to Ihe executive committee, and a committee was appointed to secure another hall. The league will hold another meeting next Tuesday evening in the- City Hall. It ' is understood that It will name a ticket for the olectlon In April, and by this, means endeavor to capture the con trol of the city government at the polls. FIGHT FOR CHANCE TO W0EK-v Hungry Laborers Drive Away Italian Snowshovelers. NEW YORK. Jan. 28. A gang of 209 men who had waited in West Forty-first street from early in the morning until late at night to get work shoveling snow for the city, and had seen gang after gang of Italians employed, finally lost patience and began a series of attacks on the Italians. T-hey punche'd and kicked the Italians, took away their shovels, picks and scrapers, and broke the tools.- The men were enraged because they clalmed the Italians gut the jobs, some by paying to padrones 2J cents each and others by paying 5 ccnt3 an hour for every hour they worked. The shovelers receive 23 cents an hour, and It was as certained later that the padrone story was true. Many of the thinly clad and hungry men, waiting hour after hour in line, saw themselves passed over ajaln ancl a&am because they did not have 25 cents to pay the padrone. Some were home less, others had wives and childr&n who were waiting for them to bring home food. When word was sent to the waitinsr ones that no more men would be hired until Saturday, they marched on the Ital ians In a body. There were 80 in the first party attacked, and most of them took to their heels. The few vho did resist were badly beaten. The attackers were dispersed by the police, but got together again and con tinued their work. AET CLASSES AT W0EK. Portland Art Association to Start Series of Talks on Greek Sculpture. ' The Portland Art Association hoDes to be in Its new quarters some time In March. Meantime, thoueh little bevond the routine has been attempted, the study classes and the attendance on free dava continue to show appreciation on the part oi me puDJic. Tflc interest in the cast collection seems considerable, and it has been thought that a series of Informal talks on Greek sculnturp illustrator hv the Corbett collection, might be useful as a help to a better appreciation of the qualities or ancient art. The curator whose enthusiasm has been stimulate? fnr travel in Greek countries and enjoyment of the originals preserved in foreign gal leries, win Begin such a course on Feb ruary 4. to be civen and to be open to all holders of annual ucKeis. Later in the season It is expected that Dr. Rufus B. Richardson, for the last tph years director of the American School of Arcnaeoiogy in Athens, will give illus trated lectures upon some of the more important sites and most recent excava tions on Greek soil. These should be of such broad interest as to appeal not only to students but to all cultivated people. WHL DECIDE CONTESTS. i Customs Appraisers Declare Indepen dence of Treasury Rulings. NEW YORK, Jan. 2S. The Board of United States General Appraisers has strongly reiterated a previously expressed determination to be a Customs court an independent tribunal between the im porters on the one hand and the Gov ernment on the other. A similar posi tion, taken three years ago, in an opin ion writen by General Appraiser Somer ville, was resented by the Treasury De partment and for a time the removal of some members of the Board there ap peared likely. The present case grew out of a protest against the assessment by the Collector of Customs at Milwaukee of duty on per tain personal effects that were forwarded under immediate transportation entry to Milwaukee from New York. When the case was called by the Ap praisers the protestant failed to appear; but sent a letter saying he had made simultaneous protest to the Treasury De partment and already had" received a fa vorable decision. The Appraisers then declared themselves as noted and ruled against the protesting citizens of Milwaukee. TO H0N0E LINCOLN'S BERTH. Republican Clubs Will Give Banquet Saturday, February 11.
