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.

kane were G-. B. Dennis. C M. Fassett,

SMITH ELUDES
ARMED POSSES

are stationed at several points along the
railroad between Woodburn. 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.

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. At a point 100

yards south of the Woodburn station
there is an arc light over the railroad.
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. Many people bavo reached Woodbura
tonight for tho funeral of Marshal Hen
derson. State and militia officers are
among thoFe to appear, and the dead
man will be Interred with full military
