Hllilj IS TO VISIT VANCOUVER Preparations Made lor Public Re ception of Railroad Magnate. VANCOUVER. Wash., Sept 30. Presi dent James J. Hill, of the Great Northern Railroad Company, and a party of high railroad officials, will pay Vancouver a visit some time tomorrow. This informa tion was. tho substance of a telegraphic dispatch received this evening by Mayor B. G. Crawford from Vice-President Charles M. Levey, and was in answer to a message sent earlier in the day by Mayor Crawford to Mr. Levey at Tacoma. At Just what hour the party will arrlvo is not I definitely known. Mr. Levey's dls patqi says that definite Information on that point will be sent by wire tomorrow. Neither could it be definitely learned to night just how the Hill party expects to reach here, whether over the Vancouver Kalama line or via Portland. From the best information, obtainable, however, it is believed tho Hill special train will come direct to Vancouver over the new line from Kalama. It is thought probable the train will arrive here be tween U and .12 o'clock, and that the party, after a- brief stay here, will pro ceed to Portland over the electric line. Hasty preparations are being made by the leading citizens to meet the railroad magnate and party at the depot upon their arrival and escort them to the Hotel Columbia, where .an Informal reception will be held. The fact that President Hill readily ac cepted tho Invitation of the Mayor to visit this city at this time Is considered an event of the greatest Importance. Tho news spread like wildfire throughout the jown. and it is expected a large crowd will be on hand to meet the party upon :s arrival. Recent railroad developments incident to the proposed building of tho line down the north bank 'of the Columbia from .Kennewlck to Vancouver and the bridging of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers between here and Portland have been followed with Intense interest by the Vancouver people, and the coming of President Hill Is regarded as clinching tfa JAMES argument In proof that the road for which the Vancouver people have waited so Jong and anxiously is now to become an actual fact N. D. Miller, chief engineer for construc tion of the new line, and L. E. Shield, of the firm of Simms & Shield, contractors bf the road, arrived from St Paul over the Vancouver & Kalama road tonight and registered at the Hotel Columbia. 31r. Miller was seen tonight but declined to be interviewed. COMMISSIONERS ARE SNUBBED Hill Refers Washington Men to the "Other Members of Party' SEATTLE. Sept 30. (Specials-President James J. Hill, of the Great North em Railroad, sent back word to Railroad Commissioners Falrchlld and, McMillan, when thej; solicited a conference, that he was too busy to see them. "If it concerns the Great Northern Railroad you may ee some other mem ber of the party," he tojd them. The two Railroad Commissioners had planned to meet President Hill, as a re sult of a co-incidental registration of 'the railroad party and Commissioners at the same hotel. The Commissioners went to the hotel, but the railroad party stayed aboard Its special train. When a meet ing 'failed Friday night tho Commission ers decided to solicit a conference tho following day. They sent a messenger with a note to Hill's car asking for a meeting. Hill was ready to start on a tour of investigation about his terminals and refused to break Into the day's plans. Later In the day Commissioner Fair child met a traffic official of the North em Pacific, but he Insisted then that he had nothing to discuss with the railroads. Louis Hill, was closeted all day with the railroads attorneys and not visible to the Commissioners and both Darius Mlllen and. Ben Campbell had other engage ments. Commissioner McMIllen usually stops at the Rainier Club, where an informal meeting with the Hill party was had Friday night, but he remained away from that gathering and did not go near th6 club while Hill was in the city. In a speech delivered at the Rainier Club last night Mr. Hill paid his respects to Interstate Commerce Commission, say- lng that Coast states were - better off without it He said that tho State of. Washington was enjoying the lowest pos sible rates at the present time, but that. the Government regulation of rates would paralyze the commerce of Wash ington. . The Hill party left for Tacoma without seeing the Commission. Big Validation of -Tickets. Validations of tickets sold from, points within territory under the big passenger associations, outside of California, Ore gon. Washington, Idaho and Montana, under regulations of the Transcontinental Passenger Association, lscued on account of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, were approximately 19,000 In even -numbers Xor the month of September at tho Portland office alone. The total number of tickets validated in the local Joint agency office. F. E. Franks, Joint agent, since tho open, lng of -'the Exposition is C6.CO0, and the total number of these tickets that have been validated for return trips at all Coast points to date Is in excess of 90,003. It Is conservatively estimated that the total validations of Exposition tickets for the season will exceed 100.000. the lanrest f movement of Eastern people to the Pa cific Coast of any like period.

TOPICS OF THE RABBIS Dr. Wise .and Dr. Willner Give Strong Addresses to Their Con gregations on Subjects of . Timely Interest. Services In observance of the Jewish New Year, which were bepun Friday night, were continued in all the Port land synagogues yesterday. Jewish business houses remained closed throughout tho day. and In tho morn ing meetings were held In the Temple j uetn Israel, congregation Anaval sno Tom and the synagogue of Nevah Ze deck Talmud Torah.

IS01. Following hl Kraduatlon from the State Agricultural College at Cor vallls. Mr. Charman. together with T. U. Charman, purchased the dniR buplner in this city, of which be waa sole owner at the time of his death. Twenty j-eara ago he married Miss Lena Kershaw, who, with a dauchter, StUs June, survive. tion to bo devoted to tho spiritual, the laatlng side of man's nature, and less to bodily comforts and tho things that are not permanent. In part he said: "From morning to morning again we iaoor, and cease only when our strength gives out, to procure comforts and enjoyments for our earthly ex istence, and not a thought is devoted to the life that leads upward. And the more we have the moro we wish. All our meditation is for the frail, the 1m potent, the vanishing part of man. To heap up treasures Is our aim. And when our store of gold has become great, our strength Is exhausted, our life gives out, our soul returns to lm mortality, and laughing heirs claim all the fruit of our efforts. Not once, and not twice, but very, very often, we note how the savings of 30 years or more are dissipated In threo short years by tho spendthrift son of a greedy father. And never a thought is devoted to the fact that all this restlessness, all this turmoil, is but vanity, and no one Is profited. The wisdom of the wise often froeo astray, the strength of the hero Is broken, the wealth of the rich la scattered. Let. therefore, none boast of these three gifts, for their are vain. unsteady, vanishing. "But Is there nothing' appertaining to man that remains permanently? In deed thero Is. The text we have chosen declares it to all. After the psalmist has contemplated his nothingness, his frailty and the vanity of his posses slons. he lifts his heart upwards and says: 'And now, what do I hope? O Lord, my confidence Is In thee! There is Indeed that In man which will ren der him Immortal; there Is that in him which makes him but little lower than the angels. If he but feel It within him; it he foster It and strengthen It. ' The hope in God. the knowledgo that he Is endowed with a spirit that would rlso above earthly wants and material wel fare, the religious feeling in, man It remains true forever. And If the body Is but as grass, and Its love as the flower that blossometn and quickly wlthereth. the grass may wither, thu flower fade, but the word of God will remain steadfast forever." At the Temple Beth Israel Dr. Stephen S. Wise gave a mapterly address on "A Glance at Jewish History in the Mak lng." He considered tho condition of the Jewlrh people In the different European countries and reached the conclusion that the future promised better things for the race. . The, European nation?, he asserted. were coming to give much better treat ment to- the Jews than they had In the past. Dr. Wise made special reference to the mistreatment that had been accorded the Jews In Russia. Thirty thousand Jews fought for the Russian government In Manchuria, and yet they were -constantly persecuted throughout Russia and treated as an Inferior people. He said: "For our people we demand not rights but right: not mitigation, but Justice. If a reform Is effected In Russia and (he Jews left out the reform will be, mockery and Russia will still have, bef old problem to deal with." Yesterday ended tho new year observ ance la the 'reformed church. The ortho dox branch, however, to which the Con gregation Ahavai Sholom belongs. ob serves today also. Rabbi Wolf Willner will speak at 7 A. 34". on "The- Sbofer." It is expected that the attendance will be large, .as many of the -members of Beth Israel will probably Join In worship with tbe Congregation AhaVal Sholom. Parse Stolen at Depot.

The remedy Is in tho form of pleasant-tasting tablets or lozenges, con taining vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic pepsin (Government test), golden seal and diastase. The tablets are sold by druggists under the namo of Studrt's Dyspepsia Tablets.

The Holmes Business College has installed the Undervood Typewriter. Five machines-were placed on trial a few days ago. They .were especially tested to observe liow th'ey worked with the touch system of' typewriting: J Doubles , the Order v The test resulted so successfully for the Under wood that the order was doubled, making ten ma chines installed in this college within- a week. Indications are that all of the vast number of ma chines operated in the Holmes Business College will he replaced b- Underwoods. The following statement made by Or. Hobnes Law rence, the principal, briefly states the reasons wiry the Underwood was selected: "Visible writing is so far ahead of the old-fashioned system that it is hardly to be compared. Investigates Durability "I investigated all the visible-writing machines, and bought Underwoods because convinced- they were the best, the most durable. "I make it a practice to visit the largest Eastern business colleges once or twice a year for new ideas: I find th'at in Eastern colleges the Underwood is standing the strain of business-college wear and tear as well as an' of the cold reliables.
