31 8 THE SUNDAY OBEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JAOTAItY 21, 1D00. 1 OREGON FOR THE SUMMER TOURIST ; Plan to Divert the California Travel via Portland In stead of Ogden. RAILWAY TELLS Of STATE Beautiful Book Issued by the South ern Pacific Illustrating: Route of Travel From Los An geles to Portland. For many years thousands of tourist? have, immediately after the holidays, flown from the cold weather of the East gon's dormant resources. It Is believed that this work, coincident with the building of hundreds of miles of addi tional rail lines by Harrlman system attracting: a great deal of attention to the state, will mark the beginning of a new era In Oregon. In pursuance of the plan for adver tising the "Road of a. Thousand Won ders," a book in colors has just been issued, describing the land, from Los Angeles to Portland- It is claimed to be tne most beautiful specimen of railway advertising ever printed. Nine teen very fine pictures in colors are given of Oregon views, the last being a full-page view of Mount Hood, as seen from Portland at sunrise, and thought by those -who have had charge of the work to be the most beautiful picture in the book. -Among other views of particular local interest Is that of The Oregonian building and Sixth street, of ships along the Co lumbia River, of houseboats on the Willamette, of Portland as seen from across the river, the Oregon City rails, the State Capitol, and such Inte rior scenes as -would, appeal to the tourist. The book is one of 72 pages, with an embossed cover In gold, green, -white and blue. While a great deal of the space is given, of course, to Califor nia, yet its whole weight of offoct Is to move the traveler northward, and thereby it gh'es Oregon the full ben efit. The book is issued under the aus pices of toe Sunset Magazine, a Harrl man line monthly well known to all In terested in the development of Oregon. In the absence of Fcncral Passenger Agont Craig and Assistant Gcnoral FILIPINOS PLAN FOR REVOLUTION Why Troops Are Being Rushed to the Islands by Uncle Sam. TREACHERY IS DISCOVERED Ostensible Reason for Reinforce ments, Possible Chinese Compli cation?, Is Said TiOt to Br Founded on Pact. Trouble is 'Said to be brewing among the dissatisfied natives of the Philip pine Islands, and from an excellent iwlth the carrying out of the plan of campaign which has been adopted. It Is even said that there is Immi nent danger of an uprising which would affect the famed Filipino scouts and the constabulary, which arc re cruited from the natives. It Is said that it would be of such vast proportions as to rival the famous rebellion of the Sepoys In India years ago. the crushing of which taxed the entire military lorccs of England. Although the Insurrection in the Phil ippines has been practically subdued and that fighllnft of late has been confined to a few bands of outlaws, it is generally known that the spirit of the Filipinos has not been broken, and that at any moment It Is likely to break forth In open revolt. Finding that it was Impossible to defeat the American troops unless they were taken unawares. It Is said the Filipinos have for months past been secretly for mulating their plans for a rebellion which would be more general and of more strength than that which broke forth shortly after the Philippines were occu pied by tho troops from this country. Pear the Native Scouts. There are about CO companies of Fili pino scouts, which number from TO to 100 enlisted men. Tho rank and file is composed exclusively of Filipinos, offi cered mostly by non-commissioned offi cers from the Regular Army. "Under the leadership and training of the experienced Army officers, it Is said that the scouts have become excellent soldiers, and that they would prove a formidable adversary in case they turned against the Govern ment. Tho constabulary, which Is mostly used for police patrol and acts under the be placed in charge of one of the brigades which is being formed in Luzon. General Funson is thoroughly familiar with the country and the ways of the natives, hav ing fought through the greater part of the Insurrection, and would be badly needed in caso the revolt should materialize. STREET - CAR ORDINANCE 3rcasurc to Prevent Crowding of Passengers on Platform. An ordinance will probably be Intro duced at the meeting of the Council on Wednesday night providing for the better protection of passengers on street rail ways by making it a misdemeanor for any person to block the rear entrance of cars so as to prevent unobstructed en trance and departure. There has been considerable complaint lately, more especially from ladies, rela tive to the rude acts of an ill-bred cluss that seems to possess a mania for Infest ing tho rear platform and offering every obstacle in the way of Ingress and egress. This has become -such a general menace to the comfort of the traveling public that patience has finally ceased to be a virtue, and In response to a spontaneous demand, has culminated In the likelihood of the abatement of the nuisance by police regu lation. There seems to be a unanimity of feel ing among conductors and motormen In favor of such a law. It la charged that oftentimes the platforms of cars are so crowded as to Interfere seriously with the 0FE-SS1G WORK Plans to Improve the Service Are 'Made. . CHANGES IN THE STATIONS Motor-Bouts for Oregon Coast Or dered and Effort to Provide Pensions for Employes Is Contemplated. Many important improvements have heen authorized or made and several changes are contemplated in the .Life Saving Service of the Oregon -Coast, according to Captain D. F. Tozier, Tnlted States Inspector of life saving stations who has just returned from a ! trip along the Coast. J The fjucstion of moving the present J station at Yaquina from that place to the bar' formation in the past few years It is thought that the crew would be able to render more effective ser vice at the new point than at the old. A new surf boat of the latest pat tern has been provided for the Coos Bay station. It Is 24 feet in length, is self-righting and self-bailing and made, after the latest models. Point Adams has 'also been furnished with a new lifeboat, 34 feet long and eight feet beam made after the latest English pattern and the largest boat in the service on the Coast. It 1s three times as large as the ordinary boat now used by the crews. New Motor-Boats for Service. A new motor boat has been sent to Cape Disappointment, which is the only one In the Pacific Coast service. This is the first of several motor boats which have been ordered for the Ore gon coast, one now being scheduled for Point Adams. Captain Tozier Is much interested in the bill now before Congress provid ing for the pensioning of men grown old In thq life saving service. The men arc becoming to a certain extent1 dissatisfied with their work and It is thought that the granting of pensions to old and wornout life-savers will do much to build up the service not only on the Pacific Coast, but on the At lantic as well.

Is taking a whack At the county's sack: Thomas sure knows Where the tax goes. to Southern California to spend the Win ter. The California lines, especially tha Southern Pacific Company, have spent a great deal of money in advertising Cali fornia as a Winter resort, flooding the East with various pamphlets, hundreds of pictures and thousands of stcrcbptlcon slides upon that subject. Subsequently, in the development of tourist traffic, it was discovered through the large attendance at conventions, that a very great many people desired to es cape from the hot weather In the Sum mer, as well as from the cold weather In the Winter. Thereupon the advertising of the railroads became perennial, deal ing more largely with the mountains and the immediate seacoast for the Summer traveler. Another Development by Advertising Yet another development became ap parent through this advertising. While It was directed more specifically at people of wealth and leisure than otlrcr adver tising issued for settlers, still It was found that in bringing settlers to California the publicity given to its attractions of cli mate and scenery was equally potent in securing a permanent population with the more direct advertising that dwelt upon agricultural and horticultural resources. Altogether, the result for California has been a stream of Winter visitors and an influx of colonists in both Spring and Fall, under the low rates made, and a very heavy midsummer travel of people attending the various National conven tions. At a meeting of the traffic officials of the Harrlman lines, held at the office of Traffic Director J. C. Stubbs. in Chicago, last Fall, it was decided to follow up the enterprise of the City of Portland and of the Northwest in creating a great exposi tion, by having Oregon share equally with California in the resort advertising, as well as advertising -direct for settlers. "Will Divert Travel Xortli. At this meeting it wa,s concluded that while a great many of the Eastern vis itors who spent their Winters in Califor nia return via Portland, it would be pos sible to divert -very largely the great stream of travel that turns directly "East ward, in the Spring, to Oregon. During the Winter California would hold them; during the Spring tbey shall ie Ore gon's. And this is the idea the Southern Pacific Company is now endeavoring to carry out, under the supervision of Gen eral Passenger Agent Craig, of the lines in the Northwest, and Passenger Traffic Manager and General Passenger Agent Horsburg, of the Pacific system lines. A fund of $100,000 for the first six months' work was appropriated by the Harrlman system and placed at the dis position of these officers accordingly. The result is that in the last two months and current Issues, millions of readers of all the principal Eastern magazines have been reading two. pages about the "Road of a Thousand Wonders," the Coast line of the Southern Pacific, and the Shasta Orcgon route from Los Angeles to Port land. Will Build TJp Oregron. The design Is that every tourist coming to California to spend the Win ter shall read this advertising and shall read the literature furnished in connection therewith, that he may plan his return journey through Oregon and through Portland. It is hardly a di rect revenue project with the Harrl man lines, which would receive In the majority of cases as much money and in some cases more if the passengers returned cast v'a Ogden, since the pas sengers bavc their choice of roads after reaching Portland; but It is de-. signed' solely for the purpose of adver tising Oregon and Portland, with tho belief that with greater knowledge of the wonderful scenic, climatic and more material resources of Oregon, thou sands of people will beepme walking advertisers for the state, and that a great any of thcra, (as thex have in California); -will bo .Induced "te'invest r and to Interest themselves ta' Ore- Passenger Agent McMurray, Paul Shoup. assistant general freight agent, who had somewhat to do with this sub ject before leaving California, said by way of comment: "We bellevo we are doing our share to advertise the Northwest, and I think people are getting pretty generally con vinced that the Oregon Railroad & Navi gation Company and the Southern Pacific Company are in earnest, and also are con vinced of their willingness to give a hostage to tho future by the construction of branch linos in Oregon. If our linos make the country accessible and the de velopment of Its resources possible, and follow this up by such advertising as the '.Road of a Thousand Wonders, It ap pears to us that the question of develop ment, so far as there may be a question left, rests somewhat with Oregon Itself. "Judging from the experience of Cali fornia, and looking at it from a tourist point of view, two things would be very desirable. Need of Pine Hotels. "The hotels along the lines of the Southern Pacific in Western Oregon, while, without question, aj good as their patronage justifies, and taking care ordi narily very comfortably of a traveler, do not, of course, class at; all with the fine resort hotels of California, whence these people will come. Hotel people have to take about the same chances In build ing fine hotels that the railroad com panies do in building new lines; the cor rectness of their Judgment and the ex tent of their faith In the country if Justi- j jicu wm oe inv measure oi tnejr success, j believe that In the scenic, fishing and hunting regions of both the Cascades and the Coast Mountains, perhaps along tho railroad lines nearest the most charm ing sections, wme tasteful, modern, well conducted resort hotels, with all the com forts to which the sportsmen and tourists are accustomed, would in this new era serve profitably the people who are cour ageous enough to build them. "I think, too. that in the Willamette Valley a great increase In population and an Influx of Investors will justify hotels that Oregon need not be ashamed of in comparison with California. "The second thing that a Southern Cali fornian would say Oregon needs la a great exhibit of Oregon's resources In Portland. Of course. Portland's hotels are all right. On the other hand. If an Invest or could be induced to go Into the Interior he would find the exhibits on the ground, where they would appeal to him most strongly. What it seems to me we will now need is hotels In the Interior that wljl rank with those of Portland, though necessarily "much smaller, and exhibits In Portland from the Interior that will give some idea to the city visitor wliat Oregon produces. "In Southern California the main part of the Chamber of Commerce building Is an immense rotunda, where space Is al lotted to every county In the south which cares to make an exhibit therein, and when I was last there I think nearly all of them were represented. This well lighted hall, with Its very large galleries, comfortable rooms for visitors and most excellent display of Southern California products, is a place where the people of Los Angeles always take their visiting friends. The different counties have do minion over the- space assigned to them. Thej' can put in such exhibits as they choose, and place men In charge If they so desire, only conforming to the general rules regarding hours, circulation of lit erature, janitor work, etc The whole display is under the jurisdiction of Frank Wiggins, to whom, more than -any other one man, the progress of Southern Cali fornia is due. ' "Such an exhibit building in Portland, owned by Portland and occupied by the territory that makes Portland a city, would tend not only to unite Oregon,, but would create the same interest In Interior Oregon In the visitors who come to Port land that the exhibit In Los Angeles does in Se-uthern California. X hope the Cham ber of Commerce may be- successful in Its' new pwn of creating a great exhibit of Oregon chwUm ia Portland." source the Information has been elicited that tiie Government Is taking Imme diate and decisive stop to prevent the zenoral uprising, such as is said to be Impending. An Army officer who was In Portland recently made the statement that while ostensibly troops were be ing rushed to tho Philippines to be held as a rcserx'c In case of any complica tions with China, the real purpose of this activity in Army circles is to prevent, if possible, an uprising on the part of tho Filipinos. Orders for Reinforcements. Orders have been Issued for the re moval of two extra regiments and1 two batteries of field artillery from the United States to the Islands. With these additions there will be 17 regiments of Infantry and four batteries of field artillery in the Philippines. The regi ments are composed of from 700 to 1000 men. It has been given out at Wash ington that the dispatch of the two additional regiments and two batteries of artillery to the Philippines Is prompted by the apprehension that treaty rights In Cnlna may be at any hour subjected to concerted violation But it is alleged that this is simply a ruse on the part of the Administration to prevent a disclosure of the real con dition of affairs in the Philippines. The officer who made the statement that the purpose of the dispatch of the extra troops was other than appears on the surface is well known In Army circles and a man whose word, can be depended upon. He refused to let his name be made public, as it would place him in a rather embarrassing po sition with the Administration, which it Is said. Is taking the utmost precau tions to prevent any information be coming public that might Interfere dircctionof the civil government. Is also a force of considerable strength, and lias attained as high a degree of efficiency as tho scouts. Many of the scouts and members of the i constabulary fought against the Govern ment during tho Insurrection. Being over powered, they entered the service of the Government because. It is said, they did not desire to enter upon peaceful careers, and not becauso of allegiance or love to the United States. The bitter feeling toward tho Americans, which has never been wiped out, still rankles in their hearts, and it is said that sooner or later when the opportunity affords they will turn traitors, and once more take up the fight for liberty. It Is said to have been planned to have a concerted and sudden uprising, the Filipinos hoping to take the Americans unawares and drive them out of tho islands. Must Have Large Army There. It was thought by many of the high Army officials that as soon as the rebel lion was crushed that the constabulary and scouts would be sufficient to maintain order and that the troops could be grad ually withdrawn until only a small force remained. But it has been found that the treacherous and deceitful natures of the Filipinos forbid this If the United States Intends to hold the Islands, and In stead of gradually withdrawing the forces. It baa been proved necessary to Increase the number of troops, which will prob ably have to remain there for -many years until the thorough pacification of the restless natives has been accomplished. Another significant fact in connection with he report that the Insurrection Is to break out afresh and in redoubled strength is that Brigadier-General Funs ton will soon be relieved from the com mand of the Department of California and ordered to tho Philippines, where he will LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION HAD 3,040,137 VISITORS DURING ITS ENTIRE EXISTENCE The following record of admissions of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, in detail by months during the whole time that the gates were open to the public, has been compiled by Henry K.

INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHS. Xotablc New Art Book That Is Dis - tlnctly Oregonian. Major Lee Moorhouse. of Pendleton, has recontly Issued In book f6rm the choicest of his original and fascinating Indian photographs. He knows the In dians of the "Oregon Territory" got their confidence, and then coaxed them to pose before hla camera an achievement not easy for a friend and impossible for a stranger. Everyone who has seen specimens of Major Moorhouse's art knows its worth, and his admirers number about 90 per cent of the population of Oregon. Wash ington and Idaho; for some of his best photographs have been reproduced In The Sunday Oregonian at various times. This new book, however, affords the first op portunity to sec tho photographs collec tively, and to keep and enjoy them in one's library. Additional to the pictorial features of the book, there are Interleaved historical sketches with which the photographs are associated, some excellent verse" by Bert Huffman and others, and legends pertain ing to Indian men and maidens, the tepee, mountains and rivers. The book is distinctly an Oregon product in subject matter, as well as workman ship. It appeals to the Pacific Northwest, and it is gratifying to note that there has sprung up a big demand for it. Iiccturcs on the Atmosphere. Edward A. Beals, chief of the United States Weather Bureau at Portland, gave a stcreoptlcon lecture at tho Y. M. C. A. Hall last night, taking as his subject, "The General Motions of the Atmos phere." The lctcure, which was held un der the auspices of the Oregon State Academy of Sciences, wag delivered solely from a scientific standpoint. He began with the first knowledge obtained of the general motions of tho atmosphere by the Grecians. He said tho present-day knowl edge began in 1S43. when the barometer was first discovered. He gave a theoret ical conception of the movements of the air and told of the actual movements of the air as determined by observations taken from all parts of the world. A paper written by Alden Sampson, the game expert of the Government, was also read. The subject was "The Animals of the Ranier National Park." Sues to Hccovcr on Option. Because of the-refusal of A. J. Farmer and D. M. Watson to abide by an agree ment to sell him mining property of the Southern Oregon Mountain Mining Com pany, situated near Jacksonville, for J500.

He avers that the prop erty Is worth W.OtfO, and that Farmer and Watson, on September 12. 1904, agreed to dispose of It to him for $500. and gave him a written option, which they subse quently refused to comply with.
