State Has Taken Keen Inter

.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 State of Nebraska has expended
between 95080 and 5000 in providing thee

presented free to the public; they are un
der the management of an experienced
electrician, each series lasting about 15
or 20 minutes, is explained by a courteous
lecturer. 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.

Professor Woodward Tells of
Carnegie Institution.
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,

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

Cadwalader. Cleveland H. Dodge. William
N. Frew, Lyman J. Gage, Daniel C. Gil

E.H. 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."
