It Would take time and money, to say
nothing of the perils attending change of I
climate, to 50 to Alaska and the Klondike
to -witness a placer mine in actual opera
tion, and It would need a magician's
wand to bring such a placer mine from
the Frozen North and stick It in the
ground within the city limits of Portland.
But such an every-day magician is George
E. Ames, who has Just obtained at large
expense a concession from the Lewis and
Clark Corporation granting him the right
to erect and exhibit a large-sizo placer
mine at the Exposition. Mr. Ames home
is at Dawson City. Yukon Territory, and
for the past six years he has personally
operated some of the largest mining prop
erties In Alaska and the Klondike.
Mr. Ames exhibit will be In the nature
of a cyclorama, illustrated by means of
paintings, actual mining machinery and
gold dust. His concession measures 1130
by 100 feet, and Is 50 feet high, on one of
the best locations found on the" Exposition
grounds. In buildings and paintings be
will spend 512,000, and he will exhibit gold
dust valued at 510,000, and specimens and
nuggets valued at $5000. His exhibit, will
represent a money value of about 530,000.
and will be one of the great attractions of
the Exposition. Pumping machinery will
be installed to produce 200Q gallons of
water per minute, for the creek and sluic
ing plant, and along the creek will be a
rocker which will clean up 510,000 worth
of gold dust an hour. "Water managed by
the pumping plant can also be Instantly
turned on for Are protection. The exhibit
will be so arranged in cycloramic effect
that the visitor on first going upstairs
will find himself In a valley with real gold
on all sides apparently being washed out
of Portland gravel. A lecturer will be
engaged to give descriptions of the prin
ciples of placer mining, and an old miner
a regular forty-niner will operate the
rocker on the creek. Pamphlets will be
ready describing the different American
and BrftlsTi-Canadlan mining laws, and
also exploiting Alaska.
Contracts will be let for the buildings,
which will be of Umber, Wednesday.
COMMISSIONER STILL. HERE.
Tells What Seattle and King's County
Will Do. at the Fair.
"Will A. Steel, executive commissioner
for Seattle and Kings County, Washing
ton, to the Lewis and Clark Exposition,
is in Portland for the purpose of confer
ring with the officials of the Centennial
upon the Installation of exhibits in tne
various buildings under their Jurisdiction.
He says that the people of the State or
Washington are taking great interest in
the Exposition and that many sections
of the state consider that It will be of
much benefit to them as to Portland and
the State of Oregon.
While he State of Washington appro
priated 575,000 for an exhibit, the vari
ous counties have made separate appro
priations that will equal that amount.
The Washington building will be one of
the handsomest upon the grounds and,
according to the contract, which has Just
been let, will cost about 530,000. The con
tractor has given a bond to complete the
building by May 15, irrespective of strikes
or conditions of the weather, and it is
therefore expected that all the displays
will be ready for Inspection before the
date of the opening of the Exposition.
"Various organizations in all sections
of the state are arranging special excur
sions to the Fair," said Commissioner
Steel, "and it has been decided that the
19 largest cities of Washington be as-
Flgned a special week during which the
residents of each particular section will
be expected to visit the Exposition."
Mr. Steel says that the counties of
Washington that have made a special ap
propriation are already vying with one
another to have the best display, and
ho predicts several novel and attractive
features In the various sections of the
state building.
MINNESOTA EXHIBIT ASSURED
Appropriation of $25,000 for Build
Ing and Exhibit.
MINNEAPOLIS, March IS. C&pecIaL)
The appropriation for a Minnesota build'
ing and exhibit at the Lewis and Clark
Centennial has been increased from 520,000
to 525,000. The measure passed the House
today and is certain to pass the Senate,
where it goes at once. Of the appropri
ation, 50000 is designated as the maxl
mum for salaries, the balance to go to a
building and exhibit.
Exposition Offers Gam Trophy.
President H. W. Goode has decided to
offer a Lewis and Clark trophy for com
petition at the coming Pacific Coast fish
and game exhibition at San Francisco.
The trophy will go to the best sports
men's club exhibit.. Many well-known
sportsmen will be present on that occa
elon, and the competition promises to be
lively. Among those who were invited Is
Homer Davenport, but Mr. Davenport de
clined to show his famed collection of
pheasants and birds at the exhibition, an
nounclng that he would show them for
the first time in the Western country at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition.

MUCH BUILDING BEING DONE
Portland Before and After the Lewis
and Clark Exposition From Dif
ferent Standpoints.
Attention is called In this issue of The
Oregonlan to the full-page illustration
showing prophetic blrdseye views of Port
land, Inspired by R. I. Cate, the well
known real estate man. Mr. Cate came to
Portland four years ago. After satisfying
himself as to the future of the city, ono
of his first projects was to secure for
Portland the Doernbecher furniture fac
tory. Mossbacks and pessimists told him
It could not be done. Mr. Cate had faith
m the 'future. Ho went at It. Ho suc
ceeded. Tho Doernbecher furniture fac
tory Is today one of the most important
industries of the cltjr, being the largest
plant of this kind on the Pacific Coast
and the third largest In the United States.
Mr. Cate kept his eye on the future, tho
efforts of knockers to discourage him not
withstanding. He embarked in the real
estate business. Since he has been In trus
business through his efforts more than
$300,000 has been Invested In buildings.
street and sidewalk improvements In the
property of the Hawthorne estate and the
Ladd -tract. Mr. Cate is still In the real
estate business, and his office at 113 Sec
ond street has become the real estate cen
ter of the City of Portland. It Is the men
of Mr. Cate's stamp who are oiling' the
wheels of Portland's progress and driving
the city toward that destiny that all live
citizens must realize she Is certain to at
tain. It Portland had more people of his
caliber, this city would today boast of a
population of 250.000, instead of 140,000.
There is grim humor In his conception of
the picture of Portland's pessimists, but it
takes no prophetic eye to see that the pic
ture of Portland after the 1905 Fair, with
Its towering skyscrapers and humming
factories, as conceived by him, will be a
reality.
Mr. Cate Is acquainted with every sec
tion of the United States, and be knows
that Portland has the best climate In the
world. He knows that Portland is the
largest lumber exporting city In the world.
He knows tnat fortiana is tne most lm
portant railroad center of the Pacific
Northwest, and that her transportation
facilities, both railroad and water, are un
excelled. He knows that Oregon produces
more wool and hops than any other state
Sn the Union, and that Oregon fruits have
fffnarae and market In every mart in the
world. -
With all these advantages of climate,
location, transportation facilities and trib-

Several Large Sales Have Taken

which have taken place of lato show theNj

means represent the wbole number of
transfers made, as yesterday alone there

at the Court House.
Tho Lewis block, at Park and Morrison,
was sold to Leo Fried o for $50,000. Tho
Columbia Theater, which as Jt stands

year ago, was sold to Belasco & Mayer

Outside Capitalists Coming.
These few .sales, picked from the manv
nunoreas wnacn nave oeen made, bava
shown the trend of tho market and have
proved it to be good. Otb,er things point
the samo way. Lately there have been a
numbervof capitalists from out of town
looking for investments, a very new thing
in oruana. this is on the whole the
most hopefufslgn that the real estate
market has seen for a long time. For
several years prominent real estate
brokers have been attempting to secure
outside capital for investment here, but
always found It too busy elsewhere. Now
it is beginning to come, and there will
probably be before long several large
sales made, possibly ono or two as large
as tho transfer pf the Dekum property
to cnaries sweeny, of Spokane.
The coming of Sweeny has done a great
aeai in itself towards attracting capital
from other cities. Other men in SDOkane.
and within the last week two from San
Francisco, have been hero looking over
tne prospects and have expressed them
selves pleased with several large offers
(made them. The sale of big down-town
holdings for prices running upwards of
naif a million would be calculated . to
bra co the realty market more tha any.
taing else.
Few Houses for Rent.
But there is a much stronger reason for
the price of real estate soaring in Port
land. There is hardly a piece of property
in the city which is not drawing a high
Interest at its present valuation. The
houses on the West Side whleh can hn
rented at th'e present day can be counted
on the fingers of one hand. Rooms are
even now very scarce. Stores are in
demand. Everybody who has an unlm
proved piece of property Is figuring how
he can raise the money to build upon It.
There are thousands of houses being built
In town and the building is confined to
no particular locality. It Is going on
everywhere. The city Is growing1 at
rapid rate, and rents being much higher
than formerly, investment In real estate
Is the more valuable.
Industries are also Increasing. Last
week the Weyerhaeuser Lumber Com
pany purchased the William Gatton tract
below St. Johns for $40,000. on which to
oulld a sawmill, wnicn, it Is understood,
will be the largest on the Pacific Coast.
The Weyerhaeuser holdings of timber In
Washington are the largest in this part
of the country and the mill will add con
siderably to the great -output of lumber
shipped from this port. The building of
this mill will mean a village of 500 peopl
about it.

Nerves
Our lives, from moment to moment,
denend on a set of tiny, aeucate nerves
which are so small that fifteen hundred
of them could He side Dy siae m an juc
Ten times more tender and sensitive than
the pupil of the eye.
Yet, night and day, ungulded and un
seen, these little nerves must keep the
stomach, the heart, the kidneys, in healthy
action. For these organs nave no power
no self-controL The power is In the
nerves. The nerves are the Masters. The
organs are their slaves.
Understand first that we have two en
tirely separate nerve systems. When we
walk, or talk, or act, wo call Into play a
certain set of nerves nerves which obey
our mental commands. That is why the
arm can be raised, or the mouth opened,
or the eye shut, at the slightest desire.
That is why your fingers can delicately
pick up a pin one moment, and hold a
heavy hammer the next.
But these are not the nerves we are to
consider here.
It is the inside nerves that manage and
govern and actuate the heart and the
stomach, the kidneys and the liver and
all of the vital functions. Ton cannot
control- these nerves. By no supreme ef
fort of mind cn you make your heart
stop dr start nor can you even make
it vary by a single beat a minute. And
so with the stomach and the liver and the
kidneys and the bowels they are auto
matic they do their work at a certain
set speed whether you are awake or aslefsp
whether you want them to or not.
It Is on these Inside nerves that life
and health depend. So long as these
nerves perform their proper duties, we are
well and strong. When they fall, we
know It by tho Inevitable symptoms
stomach, heart, liver, kidney troubles.
Thus, we find that most forms of Ill
ness are, after all, only symptoms of the
real trouble Inside nerve trouble.
For Instance, Indigestion, sour stomach,
heartburn, dyspepsia, and all stomach
troubles diabetes, Bright's disease and
other kidney disorders heart troubles,
liver troubles, bowel troubles, nervous
ness, fretfulness, sleeplessness, irltata
bllily all of these aliments are due to
this slnglo cause. Painful, disagreeable
to be treated as such. They are merely
outward signs of inward trouble.
There are different centers and branches
of this inside nerve system (frequently
called the Sympathetic Nervous System).
.But each branch is so closely connected
with the others that breakdown anywhere
usually means a breakdown everywhere.
This explains why stomach trouble de
velops into heart trouble-rwhy Indigestion
brings on nervousness why diseases be
come complicated. It explains, too, why
ordinary medical treatments are wrong
why medicine so frequently falls.
For, despite the discoveries of science,
the common remedies of the day are de
signed to treat the organ, not the nerve
the symptom instead of the cause.
Don't you, though you may not know
medicine at all, see that this Is wrong?
That it Is mere patchwork? That while

this not account for ' the uncertainties of

More than thirty years ago this thought
came to me:
"If life and health dend upon perfect

1 realized, too, that all aliments whlcH
result from one cause may, of course, be
cured by one remedy. I resolved not to
doctor the organs but to treat the ono
nerve system which operates them all.
For those who treat only the symptoms
need a different remedy for each. Such
treatments are only palliative, the results
do not last. A cure can never come in
diseases of the stomach, heart, lver or
kidneys, until the Inside nerve power is
restored. When that is done. Nature re

of doctoring them.
