Jennings falls "Wednesday of this week, calling to order the 16th annual session of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress at the Exposition, Portland will number as quests a representation of the strong men of "Western commercial, manufacturing, Industrial, financial and shipping Indus tries, such as have nevor before gathered at one time in the Oregon country, and whom it Is expected will formulate during the next four days methods of procedure to solve questions of greatest Importance to Portland and the whole territory be tween the Mississippi River and the Pa cific Ocean. Called to Order. Chairman Jennings, of the executive committee of the congress, will call the session to order, following an invocation by Bishop Earl Cranston, after which the gavel will be yielded to President Thopr dore B. "Wilcox, of the organization, who will deliver his opening address. Dele gates will be welcomed by the executives of the States of Orogon and "Washington, United States Senators Fulton and Piles, Mayor of Portland, president of the Ex position, heads of the municipal and state commercial bodies, after which will be beard responses from Governors of Cali fornia, Louisiana, Nebraska and David B. Francis, of Missouri, former Secretary of the Interior and former Governor of Mls ourl. In no sense is this splendid organiza tion for "Western development sectional In character.'nor would it under any circum stances TSecome Involved in local affairs. It is through non-partisan conduct that most effective co-operation has been ren dered possible, and results have been achieved that were hardly considered pos sible by the most sanguine among the founders of the congress. Founding of Organization. Sixteen years ago, when a few far-sighted "Western men, whose business relations gave them reason to apprehend the diffi culties In development of great ports on the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific commensu rate with the growing needs of domestic and foreign commerce destined to play a roost important part in advancement of tho country conceived the organization, it was with appreciation of tho necessity for a united effort by people of the Western states and territories. Previously there had been no unity of action among mem bers of the National Congress from the Trans-Mississippi region. Each state del egation was striving to secure what was demanded by constituency of its own di vision, and in most consequential matters seriously affecting interests of the United States as a whole, little consideration was received In many Instances. Development of Harbors. Galveston harbor, through which flows tdday a great volume of traffic orig inating In the great plains states and western portion of the trans'-Missls-sippl Valley to the base of the Rocky Mountains, .had a depth of but 14 feet In its harbor. San Pedro harbor was then regarded as only the dream of a few citizens of Southern California, and deepening of the mouth of the Mis sissippi was not thought of as a prob lem of importance except to the people of New Orleans. Sixteen years of or ganization has brought united effort of members of Congress representing 30, 000,000 of people, populating 24 states and territories,, and Galveston harbor today has a depth of almost 30 feet at low water, with a ship channel 1500 feet in width. San Pedro harbor re ceives and discharges cargoes from great trans-Pacific steamships, and transportation facilities of the entire region have been improved under the beneficent influence exercised. In the case of Galveston, united effort result ed in a single appropriation of $6,200, 000, outside the regular appropriation for rivers and harbors, establishing a precedent Just now of special interest to the Oregon Country. Columbia as Gateway. As the natural gateway for Oriental trade from the Northwest, the Colum bia River will next receive the atten tion of this body, and 'the influence that has been Instrumental in deepen ing the channel in Galveston Bay to a low-water stage of 30 feet it can be confidently expected will exert a no less potent power in behalf of the great highway of International com merce of the Nnrthwftsf. Orlental trade will constitute theN subject of first Importance In deliber ations of the four days session. Re cent occurrences In connection with the boycott of American goods through operation of the Chinese guilds has probably been instrumental In bringing to attention of the public generally the magnitude of American commerce In the Far East to a degree not before approached, and the prom inent part Portland has In this trade is recognized. Two Topics Arc Joined. Intimate relation existing between tho deepening of the Columbia River channel to the sea and at the bar, and development of this valuable trade, make the two topics so closely linked that consideration of the one naturally Involves the other. It was with ap preciation of the Importance of Port land and recognition that the Pacific Northwest is entitled to recognition in this respect that the congress voted to "d the sixteenth annual convention In Portland. Major Langfitt. who has long been in charge of the work done at the mouth of the Columbia, and Js moro thoroughly familiar with the de tails of that "work and what Is neces sary to bring to fruition the, plans that have been mapped under his su pervision, has consented to remain un til after the meeting for the express purpose of delivering an address upon this subject. He will speak with au thority on the method that should be employed to increase the depth of water. "Will Lead Discussion. As will be observed by reference to the accompanying programme. President Theodore B. Wilcox,' for 18 years engaged In conducting an export business, will lead discussion upon the subject of Ori ental trade. As the largest exporter of foodstuffs on the Pacific Coast, whose fin ger has been constantly upon the pulse of commerce with the Far East, and who has observed the growth of that trade with an understanding such as could be gained in no less practical way, his. utter ance will be a valuable contribution to public knowledge of the subject John Barrett. United States Minister to Colombia, former Minister to Slam and who Is more familiar with Oriental con ditions in general than any other member of tho diplomatic corps, will also be heard. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway, and heaVI of the steamship company floating the largest carriers on the Pacific, is also expected to bo present and speak on the second day. No transportation man of America has so long been a student of Oriental trade or so enthusiastic In the belief that within the next decade It will assume a magnitude exceeding that of any other division of export trade of the country, as the great magnate of the Northern railroads. Division of Snbjccls. Among divisions of tho subjects to be considered may be mentioned: y (1) The Improvement of rivers, harbors and waterways.

One of the most delicate and serious of operations known to surgery was performed upon Miss Ella Wilson at the Good Samaritan Hospital yesterday morning Jn the presence of 53 promi nent medical men of Portland. Both knee-caps were recently broken and had to be stitched together. After completing tho difficult opera tion. It was pronounced a success. Th operating surgeons give It aa their opinion that Miss Wilson will be able to resume her work as an actress. Before performing the operation, a lecture of about ten minutes length was delivered by the surgeon In charge to which the assemblage listened with Intense Interest. This being tile sec ond cast of tho kind on record, the oc casion was of great Importance, and the work of the skilled men. as they performed tne delicate task, was fol lowed closely by all present. If tho hopes of the surgeons are realized. Miss Wilson will be able at the expiration of sir weeks to resume her theatrical work. This Is most re markable, when It Is known that under the old style of operation, she would h doing well could she take up her work within one year. Miss Wilson will be given a benefit performance at the Baker Theater on week from next Tuesday, at which time acts from all of the city theaters will be on the programme.

"Irrigation In India," is tho subject upon which William E.

This will be an entertaining subject as In that ancient country the Inhabitants have raised the products of the soil for centuries with the aid of artificial moisture. Mr. Curtis has traveled extensively in that country, and has possessed himself of an array of facts that will enable him to tel the congress how water is ap plied to the land in that country and give a comparison of the methods used there with those in the United States. sum of six milliards of francs.

WHEN INDIANS-PLAY BALL Bloodshed, Battle, 3rurder and Sudr den Death Follow. Kansas City Star. A game of ball, resembling lacrosse. In Indian Territory is a peculiar, a fas cinating and a bloody game. It Is as much the National, game among each of the five civilized tribes as baseball Is our National game. It Is played on a ground almost like a gridiron. There are two goals 150 yards apart, and the object Is to pass the ball between theso goals. The balls used are like base balls. They are made by the Inrlans of yarn and covered with deer skin. A stick about two feet long with a spoon shaped end and the back of this open spoon laced with thongs Is used. In this spoon the Indian must catch the ball. He Is not allowed to touch It with his hands. He catches and throws with the stick. There are 20 players orra side. The Indian catches the ball In his spoon club and starts to run with It. He is immediately tackled by his op ponents, and what follows very closely resembles a "down" In football. He runs as far as he can and then throws the ball out of his stick. The opposing players try to stop him. They strike his stick If they can and If they cannot hit tho stick they hit the" player, and the are no't particular where nor how .hard. This makes the gamo bloody and players are often killed. This Is espe cially true when th game Is betwoea rival towns. Women often play In the game with men. Women are allowed the privilege of using their hands to throw the balL With this advantage they frequently win over an opposing team of men, as they are as fleet as their opponents. There is no time limit to the game. The game consists of 21 points and the play continues until the ball is put through one goal 21 times. S FECIAL EXCURSION RATES.

FORESTRY AND IRRIGATION Resolutions Committee Will Havo Pruning of "What Delegates In troduce for Guidance of tho Committee. Kansas City Is sending a large del egation to the Trans-MIasIsslppI Com mercial Congress and they are new on their way to Portland. Three rooms have been set aside in the Hotel Port land as headquarters for the delega tion, which will be In charge of Colonel Fred W. Fleming. It is expected they wlll arrive here next Tuesday morning. One of tho important papers, to be. read at the congress, and which is be ing looked forward to with much In terest, will bo that by A. B. Tharber. president of the Vnlted States Export Association on the subject, "Future Markets of the Orient." Mr. Thurber was private secretary to ex-President Grover Cleveland and is now a man of affairs in New York City. Mr. Thurber sees a glorious future for the Pacific Coast country and be lieves that routes of commerce are shifting from the Atlantic to the Pa cific! He believes that in this direction lies the futuro arena of the world's struggle for commercial supremacy and he believes the United States is Just entering upon a period when this coun try will be supreme In the commerce of the world. Thl3 portends greatness for the Pacific Coast cities and Port land Is expected tb play an Important part In this movement. Resolutions "Will Be Abundant. One of the hardest-workfng division of the congress will be the committed on resolutions. This committee wir. hold sessions day and night to consider the many resolutions that will be prr sented by delegates. It Is the duty of this 'committee to wade through the resolutions and finally get them In shape to be presented for adoption -r rejection. Those finally adopted will re placed In tho hands of tne Congres sional committee and the latter bdy t structed to do all in Its power te g.t them acted upon by the Congress of t.ta United States. Forestry Subjects. Preservation of forests Is another vital subject to be trented by the con gress. There are many arguments o be presented as to why the forests c every state should be preserved to larger extent than formerly and advo cates of forest preservation will be on hand to support their contentions. For ost preservation enters largely Into the subject of Irrigation and will also be discussed at the coming meeting of tho National Irrigation Congress. A 'pretty contest will come up in the convention over the next meeting place Several cities desire the next session, among which are Denver and Duluth, The yellow fever epidemic In New Or leans has probably taken that city out of the race, but It Is possible that it will have no bearing on the case as the epidemic will no doubt have been long stamped out when the time comes for the meeting of tho next congress. It Is not denied, however, that the chances of New Orleans have greatly dlminlshed. WORK OF EQUAL SUFFRAGE Gratifying Progress Is Reported at Meeting of Society.
