UNITY IN EXPLOITATION Theme of Addresses at Banquet "Working Together for the Com mon Good of the Northwest, Indorsed hy AH. With the visit of the delegation of rep resentative members of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce to Portland, the executive committee of the Portland Commercial Club sees the dawn of the accomplishment of one of its chief ambi tions and purposes. The executive com mittee of the Commercial Club, which handles the promotion work of that or ganization, has Ions fostered a desire to bring about complete and everlasting har mony among the commercial bodies of "Washington, Idaho and Oregon, so that they could conduct together an immense, effective and well -organized campaign of exploitation to further the interests of the Northwest as a whole, and not as a part. Spokane has joined hands with Portland with this end in view, and It might be said that the great aim has been accomplished. Portland has always been particularly friendly with Spokane, and that the senti ment of good-will Is stronger at the pres ent time that ever before was shown yes terday and last night when the repre sentatives of the delegates from the Inland Empire were the guests of the Commer cial Club. The Commercial CJub upheld Its reputation as the most gracious of hosts, and the delegates from the Spo kane Chamber of Commerce proved to be the most appreciate of guests. Th "icuuij itruiiiiK which ciibui ouincen uie commercial interests of the two cities was cemented to a solidity which .promises to hold fast. Eleven Members in Party. There were 11 members in the party which arrived In Portland yewtcrday morning, and all of them are prominent business men of Spokane. They came upon the Invitation of the Commercial Club to confer upon the methods of ex ploitation with the executive committee so that both could be mutually benefited. So successful was the visit and so har monious was the sentiment that moved all ihat it Is probable Portland will return the visit within the near future. There never has been any friction between the commercial bodies of Portland and Spo kane, but from now they will work In greater unison which It l believed will mean additional strength and effectiveness for both. Guests nt Informal Luncheon. The delegation Uyik quarters at the Hotel Portland, but at noon were guests at the Commercial Club at an informal luncheon. A fow impromptu addresses were made. In the afternoon, under the guidance of Manager Tom Richardson, of the Commercial Club, the party visited the various sights of Interest about the city. At night thq delegates .from Spokane were the guests of the executive commit tee of the Commercial Club at a banquet held in the quarters of the club. In every respect the banquet was a suc cess, and all who were present were de lighted with it. Only the very best of feeling prevailed and the sentiment pre dominated that Portland and Spokane must lock hands across the chasm of dis tance that separated them and work as one unit for a greater Northwest. Speaks for Union. "We shall know no Inland Empire, no Washington. Oregon. Idaho, no, Spokane. Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, hut will work together united with the common purpose of furthering the Interests of the great Northwest." When G. B. Dennis, chair man of the delegation, made this remark at the banquet he spoke as for all. Theodore 13. Wilcox, chairman of the executive committee, presided as toast master. He made the opening address. He said the methods employed by Port land in exploiting Oregon and the Northwest were open to all and that there were no secrets. He said that he felt certain that the hearts and minds of the citizens of tho two cities were moved by the same Impulse. Ho de clared there was a new spirit of prog ress in Spokane" and that, as there was unlimited energy behind It and based upon a rockrlbbed foundation, he pre dicted a great future for that city. Ho also paid Manager Richardson several splendid compliments. Dennis Compliments Portland. D. B. Dennis was tho next speaker. He took occasion to throw many compliments to Portland, but ho spoke with such ap parent sincerity that his hearers believed they were prompted by something moro than the instincts of politeness. He spoke of the commercial affiliation between the two cities and said that they or Spokane were there to carry forward wise and admirable purposes and to Join hands In effective service to the great and varied commercial branches of hu man Industry, as ltobtalas la the North west country. Many other addresses were made, but all were along: the same lines. The members of the executive committee praised Spokane and the guests praised Portland, but for the most part they spoke on the importance of the two cities working in harmony, which they said would spread until their lead was recognized by all the cities in the Northwest as a medium of inestimable value in upbuilding and populating this section of the country.

Gervals and Brooks, for the leaders anticipate that the desperate outlaw will resume his pre vious tactics by again attempting to fol low the railroad. Should Smith leave his hiding place tonight he will be met by determined men, gathered In threes at points likely to be selected by the despe rado in his attempt to go south. Among the men under the supervision of Detective Frank Snow and Chief Burns are Patrolmen James Anderson, Robert Phillips and Fred Mallett. of the Portland police force, and Detective Andy Vaughn, all of whom were selected by Captain Bailey for their courage and ability to shoot and shoot straight when tho oc casion requires. Others along the route arc the best Deputies under Sheriff Culver of Marion County, who is Indefatigable in his efforts to capture the fugitive. Smith is expected to put up a hard bat tie, for he Is known to be desperate, and having already killed two men the sacri fice of other lives will have no terrors for him. A careless member of the posse, who was engaged in testing the magazine of his rifle on Main street In Gervais. came near shooting a young lady passing at the time. As It was she was badly scared and the careless gunner was severely censured for his awkwardness. (f FRIENDS THINK UK MAY SURVIVE HIS WOUNDS. .Colored Man Shot lij- Pease" Will Re cover, It la Said, Without Doubt. WOODBURN, Or.. April 28. (Staff Correspondence.) At midnight physi cians attending Sherifl Shaver re ported him to be resting easily with a slight change for the better in his condition. His friends now feel reassured in hoping he may survive the fearful wound inflicted by Smith this morning. Mrs. Henderson, wife of the murdered Marshal, Is re ported to be in a serious condition as a result of the tragedy, and she is under the care of a physician. It is now said there is no doubt as to the recovery of the colored man who was shot down by a posse at 4:30 A. M. Smith's tactics in bringing down the two officers show plainly that he is a dangerous man. and one who is ablo to keep his head in the hour of trouble, which renders him doubly dangerous. All reports agree that he was seeming ly cool when he opened fire on the officers this morning. He did not raise his weapon, but fired from his hip. Possibly he fired through his pocket, where he had his weapon concealed. The gun Is of -4 4callbcr. This method was employed by him In murdering Watchman George Han Ion at Oregon City Tuesday morning. Tho shooting was done at a range of not more than eight feet. The two officers were following the man down the railroad track in the direction of Gervals. Sheriffs Shaver and Culver had Just fol lowed him in from McKee Station, where ho had broken from cover after being partly surrounded, as was stated in The Oregonlah. They had been watching for him. and seeing a form moving down the Southern Pacific track, went in pursuit. Sheriff Culver, with Joe Richards and Chester Henderson, of Woodburn. kept to the road, while Shaver and Captain Henderson followed on the track djrectly behind the fellow. The night was so dark they were not, sure enough of their man to shoot him flown.

The officers had nearly overtaken the fellow when this point was reached. Without making any effort to evade them. Smith turned suddenly and walked back toward the officers. 21c seemed to have his bands in his pockets. He walked di rectly past the two officers, who recog nized him as he passed. Throw -up your bands!" ordered Sheriff Shaver. A volley of shots was tho re sult. Marshal Henderson dropped in his tracks without returning the fire, al though he leveled his rifle. Afterward it was found the safety catch on the weapon had not been released. The Sheriff fell an Instant later, but not until he had fired twice at the out law. The three men on the road then opened fire. While Smith did not drop, he is said to have cried in agony and to have thrown his hands above his head. Shaver stated afterward that he was sure he hit the fellow, if so. the wound is undoubtedly llttlo more than a flesh wound. Smith thon ran down the rail road embankment to the west, whence he disappeared in the darkness. He was not pursued for the time be ing, full attention being' given to the wounded oncers. The shooting of the colored man occurred In the depot grounds, and was done by a group of men who had Just searched an outgoing train in hopes of finding Smith. J. J. St. Angel saw a suspicious appearing in dividual running towards the train and ordered him to halt. The darkness still being thick, so that the features of the running man could not be seen, it was thought to be Smith. A volley was at once fired, three shots taking effect in his shoulder and right arm. The error uas quickly discovered, and the wounded man taken to a hos pital.
