THfeSTJNBAif dREGOXIAX, POBTiASfD, AUGUST 6, 1905. 1 RASKA HAS FINE EXHIBIT State Has Taken Keen Inter est in Success of Lewis .and Clark Fair. MOVING VIEWS IN THEATER Celebration Will Bo Held on August SI, Commemorating the Anni versary of Death of Ser geant Floyd. No state outside of the Pacific North west has taken a keener interest in the Lewis and Clark Exposition than the Btate of Nebraska. Chief among the causes of this is the fact that the only member. Sergeant Floyd, of the explorers' party, to die on the entire Journey to the Oregon Country succumbed while ascend ing the Missouri River just north of the present City of Omaha. His body was In terred upon the bluffs overlooking the, river, where seven years ago a marble shaft was raised to his memory by the combined endeavors of citizens of Ne braska and of Iowa, in conjunction with the United States Government. In ad dition to this reason for so strong an in terest, there is the further one that the battleship Nebraska, still under construc tion, took Its plunge from tne ways lmo waters of the Puget Sound. Upon the announcement that an Expo sition was to be held in Portland in com memoration of the explorers services to the Nation, the State of Nebraska at once looked forward to participation in It. At the last session of the Legislature an appropriation was made for a suitable ex hibit of Nebraska's agricultural resources and Governor Mickey Immediately ap pointed Hon. W. P. Warner, Hon. George L. Loomls and H. G. Shcdd, ex-secretary of the Nebraska Commission to the St. Louis Fair, as members of a commission to attend the Fair. Today the latter is excellently represented by a beautiful dis play prepared by the commission and es tablished in the Agricultural Palace. Among the various exhibits in this build ing it is attracting wide attention from visitors, on account of its original design and the rare beauty of its installation. The general architectural plan is of the Italian villa, the designs being prepared by Thomas It. Kimball, a member of the board of ten architects for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and designer of the magnificent Electricity Palace at that Fair. The Nebraska exhibit occupies an entire block of space and makes a strik ing color contrast to its neighbors. A percola, or colonnade, of heavy col umns, supporting a trellis of vine, sur rounds the space; within this stands the small but beautiful theater where free moving pictures are presented each hour. For the interior decoration of this thea ter the commission brought an expert decorator in grains from Nebraska. Upon the top of the percola rests large pyra mids of yellow, red and white corn, while from the trellis are suspended numerous clusters of the same grain. The general arrangement of the decoration of this is exceedingly rich, the colors in all their variations and tints lending themselves to striking effects. And the general effect of the whole is one of massive beauty and splendid tones. At the front, before the theater, stands two tables on which are samples of corn and corn products. Of the former there are shown some SO-varieties of the hun dred or more that the state produces. In addition there are on view specimens of especially bred and crossed corn, and corn raised under experimental conditions and for certain feeding properties. Of sugar com alone the state has 20 varieties, and 15 of popcorn; but field corn predomi nates. Of all the kinds none oxcltes more interest among visitors than the remark able evolution corn, which marks, per haps, the latest development of this grain. Some idea of the quality of this grain can be had from the fact that Nebraska won at St. Louis on its corn, together with small grains, over 500 medals, be sides several grand prizes. Although the state raises Immense quantities of small grain, producing, in wheat alone this year in the neighborhood of 50,000.000 bushels, corn is made the chief feature, as it over shadows all else in Importance. Last year's product measured 261,000,000 bushels, while this year, under conditions the most favorable for half a decade, It promises to exceed -300,000,000 bushels. Between the two large tables and before the middle door of the theater stands the stuffed skin of the2-year-old prizewinnlng steer Challenger. Upon its entrance of the lists at the Chicago International two years ago, it won all prizes, among them the world's championship, being practical ly perrect in points, winning over a thou sand entries from all parts -of Europe and lenca. At the rear of the theater an open reception-room has been provided" for the comfort of visiting Nebraskans and oth ers, where a large reading-table occupies the center, supplying Nebraska newspa pers and literature pertaining to the state. Here are exhibited the small grains which are massed in pyramids. Excellent sam ples of the grain threshed are exhibited about the room, while sheaves of Spring, Winter and macaroni wheats have a prominent place. Besides these there are fine specimens of oats, rye, barley and other cereals. In vine seeds Nebraska ranks high, hav ing devoted especial attention to their culture and raising larger -quantities and more varied than any other state. Some hundreds of samples can be seen at the pavilion all prizewinners at the St. Louis Fair. About the inclosed theater are exhibited the wonderful number of grasses native to Nebraska. These are particularly In teresting to cattle-raisers, owing to the fact that the state in this respect also excels others in the quantities of wild hay, which makes it a natural feeding ground for cattle and stock. In the col lection and preparation of these grasses the commission made an unusual effort. That visitors may obtain an adequate idea of Nebraska and its industries, mov ing pictures of many of them have been brought to Portland and are shown in the state's pavilion daily. There are a large series, the property of the state, dealing with the following subjects: First Plowing and planting of grains in the Spring, early harvesting. Second Summer and Autumn scenes, making hay, oornpicklng and shredding corn. Third Cutting alfalfa, raking and stack ing it. Fourth-KJare of orchards in Spring and Autumn, fruit culture, raising vegetables on large scale. Fifth Poultry, sheep and swine. Sixth The dairy Industry, the actual methods of the dairy; the skimming sta tion, and extensive creameries. Seventh The cattle industry: the rais- Ji&g, feeding and marketing of cattle: the rSouth Omaha stockyards. Eighth The range, ranch life, rounding up, branding cattle, roping and riding wild horses. Ninth Beet-sugar industry, the planting and cultivation of beets; manufacture of sugar, the use of by-products, and waste.

The little theater wherein the pictures are shown, and seating some hun dred, is a model of its kind, being con structed for the best effects in the pic tures, for the convenience of the visitors, and for ventilation and general comfort. Up to the present time, 3500 visiting Ne braskans have enrolled at headquarters of the state. This number will be largely in creased by the attendance of many who plan to be present upon Nebraska day, August 2L The Commission selected this date as most suitable, in commemoration of the anniversary of the death of Ser geant Floyd. Governor Mickey and an of ficial party will attend, participating in the programme to be given during the af ternoon. Ho will also be prcsqnt with the Commission later, when they tender a re ception to the general public at the Ne braska pavilion.

VISITS LUTHER BURBANK Resents the Term "IVlznrd as Applied to a 3ran "Who Has Devoted His life to the Study - of Mature. Professor Robert S. "Woodward, pres ident of the Carnegie Institution, of Washington. D. C, accompanied by Mrs. Woodward, is a guest at the Hotel Port land. Professor Woodward has been on the Coast visiting the Carnegie institu tions of research. At Tucson they have a desert botanical laboratory, where they have a staff of scientists making re searches and experiments with desert plants, and at Pasadena they have a solar observatory. Professor Woodward, MONUMENT NEAR DAKOTA CITY. NEB ERECTED OVER THE GRATE OF SERGEANT FLOYD, THE ONLY MEMBER OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION WHO DIED DURING THE EXPLORATION. THE AG 1UCULTUKAL PALACE. after inspecting these two institutions, is making a visit to the various cities of the Northwest, and Is in Portland for the purpose of seeing the Exposition and also for the purpose of interesting scien tists and educators In the work which is being done by the Carnegie Institution. While In California, Professor Wood ward visited Luther Burbank, who will be assisted by tho Carnegie Institute in carrying on his Investigations. Professor Woodward resents very much the term wizard, whlch many newspaper and mag azine writers havo applied to this truly great man. He says that the term wiz ard means a mala witch, and that it Is an injustice to Mr.. Burbank to apply the name to him. In. addition to being deeply Interested In the great work which Is being done by tho 300 men and women who are carrying on their various re searches under the Carnegie Institution, Professor Woodward has made a study of newspaper "fakes," and believes, with the co-operation of the editors, that stories that are not truo can be abolished. He believes that It is due the reading public that it be given legitimate accounts of all news, and ho believes there is just as much news in the work and discoveries of scientists as there Is in the dally chronicles of crimo and other news mat ter that finds Its way into -print. The Carnegie Institution. In speaking of the Carnegie Institution. Professor Woodward says: "The institution was founded by An drew Carnegie. January 23, 1902. when he gave to a board of trustees $10,000,000 in registered bonds, yielding 5 per cent an nual Interest. In general terms, he stated that his purpose was to found in the City of Washington an institution which, with the co-operation of Institutions now or hereafter established, thero or elsewhere, shall, in the broadest and most liberal manner encourage Investigation, research and discovery show the application of knowlcdgo to the improvement of man kind, and provide such buildings, labora tories, books and apparatus as may be needed. "By an act of Congress, approved April 28, 1S04, tho institution was placed under the control of a board of twenty-four trustees, all of whom had been members of the original,, board referred, to above. "To correct some misapprehensions, I may tate that although located In the city of Washington, D. CL, tho Carnegie Institution la neither a branch of. nor subject to the special regulations of, the United States Government. It may be stated, also, that the Institution is not a university, a college, a library, or a museum. "Since, the object of the Institution is the promotion of Investigation in the broadest and most libera manner, many projects in widely different fields of In quiry have been considered, or are under consideration, by tho executive commit tee. These projects are chiefly of three classes, namely: "First, large projects whose execution requires continuous research by a corps of Investigators during a series of years. Several such projects are now under way. "Secondly, small projects, which may be carried out by individual experts in a limited period of time. Many grants In aid of this class of projects have been made. "Thirdly, tentative investigations, car ried on by young men and women who have shown unusual aptitude for research and have desired to pursue specific prob lems for one or two years. A limited number of persons have been aided by the institution In this line of work in the hope that some of them might develop exceptional abilities. Applicants for po sitions of- this kind must have attained a grade equivalent to that of the doctor ate degree In order to be eligible. "The Institution has undertaken to pub lish certain works which" would not oth erwise be readily printed. These, and the annual reports, or year books, of the institution, are not distributed Indiscrim inately, since their contents are usually of a technical oharacter;. but they are sent to the principal libraries of the world, and "may be" -purchased -from the Institu tion at a low price. A list of these, pub lications will be furnished on applica tion." The ' board, of trustees- of the Institu tion Is composed of the following: Alex ander Agassiz. John 9. Billings, John L. Cadwalader. Cleveland H. Dodge. William N. Frew, Lyman J. Gage, Daniel C. Gil man. Jbhn Hay. Henry L. Hlgglnson, B. A. Hitchcock, 'William Wirt Howe. Charles L. Hutchinson. S. P. Langley.

HARRIMMMS DELAYED Hallway Magnate Falls to Reach Portland as Scheduled. BL H. Harrlman, the man who holds the traffic future of Oregon In his hands to a great extent, has changed his mind, and did not reach Portland last night as scheduled. For some reason, the railway magnate has decided not to visit Seattle beforo coming to Portland, and yesterday morning -notified the general' offices here that he would come to the city -over the. O. R. i N. by way of Pocatello and Hunt-' ington. According to his calculations ho would reach Huntington yesterday after noon, arriving at Portland some time this forenoon. . .General Manager O'Brien left for Hunt ington upon receipt of the message from Mr. Harrlman. and will escort his xhlet back to Pprtland. It is probable that Mri Harrlman will remain in Portland, or at least in Oregon, for several days,, and it Is hinted that there Is liable to be some very interest ing' announcements or developments as the result of his visit. Oregon has' awakened to a certain extent, and Is demanding bet ter transportation facilities. Private cap ital is threatening to build not only elec tric lines to odcupy what Is naturally O. R. Sc. N. and Southern Pacific territory, but steam roads are being talked of by private enterprise. The time has come to act or to lose the full benefit of the prize, flo.lt is argued, and .as a result the man whose nod builds or abandons railroads Jn this -Western country will give close attention to details and data gath ered by his subordinates- here. From this it Is expected that good will, of necessity, come. The presence In the city of J. C. Stubbs, traffic director of the Harrlman Bystem. Is taken as evidence that changes and con cessions arc about to be made by the chief. TO BUILD RAILWAYS Plans of Co-Operative Chris tian Federation. DR. D. LIPPERT'S OPINION Says Earth Will Fly Before tho Snovr Does on tho Work tho Society Has In View. "I am at liberty to say this, as It Li set out in our constitution! that It Is the inten tion of the Christian Federation to build railroads not only In the eastern part of the state, bat In the Willamette Valley as well; it Is its purpose to furnish homes for hundreds of people where the plains are now covered with barren reaches of sagebrush. I can also say that it is hoped that many acres of land will be sown to Fall grain this year by tho Federation, and that the first dirt will be turned for the construction of the railroad before snow files. This is not a paternal scheme. It Is a fraternal one, far removed from the Ideas of the Mormons, or of any known plan now in existence. It has backing, and It will have success," said Dr. David Leppert. of Ontario, vice-president of the Christian Federation, and one of its most enthusiastic supporters, who Is In the city and immersed in work re lating to the proposition. He has recently returned from a trip through the central part of the state, in the vicinity of the land grant owned by the Willamette Val ley and Cascade Mountain Wagon Road Company, where he has been interesting the people of tho country in the Christian Federation plan of work. Ontario Will Assist. "I am glad to be able to say that the people of Ontario and vicinity are heartily in favor of the plan as proposed by the Federation," said Dr. Leppert yesterday afternoon. "The commercial bodies of the city have pledged themselves to take care of 5150,000 of our bonds, and the people in general are fast coming to rec ognize the feasibility of the plan." Turning to the territory which will be embraced in the lands about to be pur chased by the Federation, the speaker became eloquent In describing the re sources of the marvelous valleys of Har ney and Malheur Counties, the wonders of the French-HSlenn ranch, which will also be purchased by the Federation, and the many things which go to make the district of Central Oregon ono of the most Important parts of the states. In the wagon-road grant there are approximate-, ly 1.500,000 acres of land, all of which are to be purchased by the Federation. "I am not at liberty to say more con cerning the transaction at this time than to predict that it will not be long before the deal has been closed," said Dr. Lep pert. "The amount of money Involved Is another matter that has to be secret for a time at least. But I do know that there is a marvelous country waiting to bo developed, and the Federation will de velop It, There is room In that country for hundreds of large farms, there Is wa ter in abundance, and on the French Glen ranch the soli Is similar to the Salt Lake loam, found at but one other place in the world, where It has made the farmers of Salt Lake well-to-do and Inde pendent." Throughout the district the land Is free from alkali and, once the aDuna ant water is turned upon it, will raise anything that will grow in a semi-tropic region. Offer Is Reasonable. "All of the land held by the Wagon Road Company is of course not so good, but taking the good with the bad. and all being considered, the company has made a very reasonable offer to us, and one that will be closed In a very short time, provided the plans carry. "The Christian Federation will be a bond between the Eastern and Western parts of the state," continued the speak er, changing to the discussion of general things. "There is and always has been a feeling existent between the two sec tions which must be overcome. The peo ple there want transportation, and they must have It. Thousands of acres of wonderfully rich land Is waiting for the coming of the railroad to be utilized; herds of cattle are waiting to be shipped out to the markets, droves of horses are growing up in the 'country ready to be sold. The Federation will bring these advantages and resources and products out to the world, and will open a way between the two sections of the state to the mutual advantage ot.both." Dr. Leppert contends that the plans of the Christian Federation do not conflict with any railroad right of way in any manner, and urge3 that even should two roads be constructed from east to west, there Is territory and productiveness suf ficient to furnish business for the two. The visitor will remain In the city for several- days to attend to business in con nection with the Federation plans. DOCTORS AND LAWYERS They 3Iust 'Pay Professional Tax and Warrants Issued. Doctors have fallen under the ban of Tax Collector McEachron because of non payment of business licenses, and a com plaint will be issued by City Attorney McNary against those who have shown an unwillingness to pay. The Tax Col lector will be asked to furnish a list of of physicians, and from this list those who express an unwillingness to be as sessed will have warrants served on them. The" Police Station and Police Court was the scene of angry lawyers yesterday, against whom warrants had been issued for non-payment of the tax. Lawyers complained that they should have been notified that a tax was due. and that the performance of the Tax Collector was un warranted. Lawyers by the score appear ed before Clerk Hennessy of the Municipal Court, and paid the costs of the war rants being issued, and later went to the City Hall and paid their tax. No prose cutions will follow the arrest of those for whom warrants were served. Many of the. most prominent attorneys in the city did not appear at the Municipal Court but paid their tax at tho City Hall as soon as they were notified that It was due. Among those for whom warrants were issued were Governor Chamberlain, W. W. Cotton, Thomas O'Day and others. About 97 warrants in all were got out. The matter is treated as a huge Joke by many attorneys; while others express their disapproval at the method adopted. City AttorneyMcNary said yesterday that a mistake had been made which was un intentional on his part. "When signing the complaint T did not expect that it would be used In such a. wholesale man ner," said Mr McNary. "I suppose a no tice should have been given the attor neys, and expected that where it was known that lawyers would pay upon re quest that no warrant would be issued. The complaint was Issued for those from whom It waa expected that a tax would be hard to collecv." Lieutenant Dolph Mcrricd. The marriage of Lieutenant Cyma A.
