10 i HE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND. OCTOBER 13, 1907. I IS PLEDGED BY.TWO STATES California Board of Trade and Seattle Exposition Will Co-operate. HELP PORTLAND FESTIVAL Neighbors North and South Will As sist This City In Making Rose Show Next June a Mem orable Event. Portland's. Rose Festival of 1908 is to be. without queston. the greatest spectacular nd entertaining celebration planned for the coming year on the Pacific Coast. Its far-reaching scope is shown by the fact that only yesterday Seattle, the whole State of California and the Ha waiian Islands were prominent in the preliminary plans of the association. In the first place. Bury I. Dasent, sec retary of the Festival Association, in a very pretty little speech delivered to the party of Honolulu girls now visiting Port land a handsomely engrossed invitation to the Governor and other officials of Hawaii, as well as to the commercial bodies of the principal cities of the Islands, to b personally delivered to these dignitaries by the present guests of the Rose City. In addition to this, Mr. Daeent received last night from President Brlggs, of the California State Board of Trade, a per sonal letter in which Mr. Brlggs said that he would guarantee a large excursion party of California business men for the Festival. Mr. Brlgg3 added that he had already taken the matter up with affili ated organizations in the many cities of the southern state, and that without ex ception each commercial body had ex pressed its desire to have delegations join t lie proposed trip to Portland and the Northwest. Couched in Glowing Terms. The letter from the Californians was couched In such glowing terms that It was made the subject of a special meet ing of the directors of the Festival last night, with the resmlt that the whole state of 'California is to be flooded within the next few months with Rose City litera ture, in order to Interest as many people s possible In Oregon's neighboring etate. Upon the heels of the letter from Presi- 3ent Brlggs came a telegram from I. A. Nadeau. director-general of the Alaska-Yukon-Paclfic Exposition, which shows the hearty co-operation that will be forth coming from the metropolis of Washing ton. The wire is in the form of a greet ing for "Campaign day.' .next Tuesday, and reads as follows: K. W. Rowe, Portland. Or. Seattle wishes Portland unbounded success in its efforts to raise funds next Tuesday for its wonderful Rose Festival of 1D0S. Alaska - Yukon - Pacific Exposition management will Join hands with you In your invitation to President Roose vent to comn to the Rose Festival next year. I. A. NADEA17, Director General. HENRY E. RKEP. Director of Exploitation. Seattle Keeps Promise. This message is in keeping with a promise made to Chairman Rowe. of the ways and means committee, a few weeks ago, when he was In Seattle as a representative of the Oregon State Commission for the big Seattle Fair. At that time Director-General Nadeau asked If there was anything the expo sition management could do to assist Portland In its plans to make the festival a magnificent success, and Mr. Howe replied that the best evidence of good will would be an expression of the sort that Mr. Nadeau has Just ren dered. It is considered .almost a certainty that President Roosevelt will be here for the grand celebration, principally because the two great cities of the Pacific Northwest, with such splendid attractions now being arranged for, are a unit In asking the Chief Magis trate of the Nation to come. So many queries have been made of the Festival headquarters as to the way In which the JlOO.ono fund is to be collected, managed and distributed, that the directors met yesterday after noon and discussed the whole situa tion, and issued by unanimous vote the following official statement' as assur ance that every safeguard would be cast about the funds collected, and that they would be. wisely and prudent ly expended: Committee Kxpluins Plan. The ways and means committee, composed of the following well-known business men of Portland have been iisen to raise the sioo.OOi) fund for the Rose Festival of June, 1908: Julius Meier, K. M. Brannlck. H. C Wortman, H. D. Ramsdell. F. Dresser. Sig Slchel, George McMillan, Emmet Drake, E. W. Rowe, chairman. These gentlemen will have personal supervision of the fund, both in the collection ami. together with the exe cutive committee, in the disbursement. All bills contracted will be passed on by the entire committee for final consideration, and by the following auditing board: Fletcher Linn. Robert !. Darrow and George H. Hill, chair man.

The association also anno"-ced that It would prepare within a few days a statement showing exactly why it is necessary to have the entire sura needed pledged so far ahead of time, ,'i.ie state ment will set forth the fact that the most expert float-builders In the United States would be brought here to con struct ' the allegorical historical and mythological displays, and that only the most experienced artisans of the country will be employed in their building. It was further stated that in such cele brations as the Mardi Gras of New Or leans that the committee In charge began Its preliminary work for the next dem onstration Just as soon as the preceding one had been finished, that a whole year was necessary in planning the magnifi cent pageantry, parades and other civic displays, all of which wore costly and required a great deal of time in prepara tion. Nearly ICO of the 110 soliciting commit tees who are to raise, the iliKMOO were at work until late yesterday afternoon, and reports received at hvadquartors - last night showed that many thousands of dollars had been pledged as a result of the day's canvass. About 300 canvasser! will be at work all day tomorrow amang the merchants, industrial, commercial and professional people of the Rose City, and Tuesday practically all of the people behind the Festival project will be out hustling for funds. Inasmuch as there will be thoi.sar.ds of public-spirited cltlaens and business peo ple who cannot be reached by t..e solici tors between now and Tuesday, the fol lowing circular letter was aent ut yes terday to several hundred people and firms, with pledge blanks inclosed: Dear Sir Inclosed you will please find a blank pledge, which7 It Is hoped you will fill out and sign and send to the headquarters of the Portland Rose Festival Association in the Swetland building.

(Special.) Washington's antl-clgarette law prohibits the sale of cubebs. Such was ihe deci sion of the Attorney-General- today,' un officially. The Attorney-General Is of opinion that if the bars were let down to permit the sale of cubebs, it' might afford a loophole for violation of the act. Airship Invented W. C. BRANCH'S C. BRANCH, of this city. Is the Inventor and patentee of an air ship possessing many new feat ures which should appeal to those inter ested In aerial navigation. The machine was modeled from a bird with out stretched wings. It is in the form of a half cylinder, the under side having two concave surfaces on each side of the cen ter plane. Shafts in each these two grooves, with a propeller at each end, op erate the machine furnished with power by belt or chain and sprocket from a motor in the cabin, which Is located im mediately beneath the center plane. There is a rudder at each end. which, with the propellers, enables the machine to move in either direction, rendering it unneces sary to make turns In midair. Xha up CASE NOT SUICIDE Mrs. Lydia Foster Says Hus band Eloped With Woman. LATTER'S NOTE A BLIND Left With Hat and Jacket on River front to Deceive Wronged Spouse. Warrants Are Out for Ar rest of the Co. i pie. Mrs. Grace Justice is not a suicide and her body is not at the bottom of the Wil lamette River, as was thought by her relatives and ' the police ten days ago, when her jacket and hat were found on the . waterfront together with a note she had written saying that she had com mitted suicide because of domestic troubles. On the contrary Mrs. Lydia Foster, whose husband has been missing since about the time Mrs. Justice disap peared, charges that her spouse and Mrs. Justice have eloped. Acting on this theory, Mrs. Foster yesterday swore out warrants in the Municipal Court charging Foster and Mrs. Justice with a statutory offense against the sanctity of the mar riage relation. An effort is now being made to locate the alleged elopers, but Chief Grltzmacher said last night that he had no idea where to look for them. The police have never fully accepted the suicide theory In the Justice case, because the Jacket and hat found were old ones and of little value, though the woman's better clothing was missing. There were other circumstances too which caused suspicion in the minds of the offi cers that Mrs. Justice had not destroyed herself. When Mrs. Foster learned ' that her husband, who Jiad been working on the Vancouver bridge for a long time, had not been working of late in the Terminal yards In this city, as he had told her he was, she grew suspicious and at once de clared herself of the belief that an elope ment had been arranged and that Foster and Mrs. Justice were together. She and Mr. Justice, who ii a laborer living in Vancouver, Wash., :alked over the matter at police headquarters several days ago, and Mrs. Foster expressed her opinion of the matter. Justice would not believe it, and begged that no action 'be taken by Mrs. Foster looking toward the apprehen sion of the pair. Nothing was done, therefore, until yesterday, when Mrs. Foster, aftar fully satisfying herself that her husband had fled with Mrs. Justice, swore to a complaint and caused the is suance of warrants for the arrest of both. When the . hat and jacket of Mrs. Justice were found, together with the note, it was naturally supposed for a time that she had drowned herself. So strong was the faith of Mrs. Justice's relatives that they caused the river bottom at the dock, near the east end of the Steel bridge, to be dragged. They also appealed to Coroner Finley, seeking to have him search for the body. He declined, saying he would prefer to await developments; that if the body were there. It would rise to the surfae sooner or later and that it would be best to wait. In the note Mrs. Justice wrote, and pinned to the jacket, saying that life had become unbearable, she asserted that her body would be found on the bed of the river, near the dock on which her clothing was found. She addressed a portion of the note to her husband, and among other things asked him to be kind to their two little daughters. Mrs. Foster says this note was merely a subterfuge to conceal the elopement. Prior to the alleged elopement, the Justice and Foster families were on inti mate terms, having lived neighbors for a long time. WOODEN DOCKS A MENACE Councllmcii Keach Conclusion After Inspecting the Riverfront. . For the purpose of ascertaining the necessity of extending the West Side Are limits to the harbor line of the Willamette, members of the Council yesterday - afternoon made an inspec tion of tiie waterfront in company with Harbormaster Speier. The party left about 2 o'clock in the Harbormaster's launch and were on tthe river several hours. The Councllmen taking the trip were Annand, Belding, Concannon, Dunning, Kellaher and Rushlight. After making an examination of the wooden docks along the waterfront the Councllmen were unanimously of the opinion that these struc tures should be replaced by brick, steel or concrete. It is probable that what they saw will influence them to vote In favor of the ordinance that Beld ing is having prepared extending the tire limits to the river. This measure is being drawn up by City Attorney by Portland Man FLYING MACHINE. per surface, or roof, is of silk, stretched over a framework of hard wood. The un der surface, under which is the machin ery, la to be of aluminum. The grooves In the under plane would act as a para chute, in case of accident In midair. Mr. Branch has been invited to send the model of his ship to the exhibition of the Aero Club of America, to be held in New York, October 25-30, and will ship It Bast In a few days. The novel features of the airship are the concave lateral planes, which, faced as they are with aluminum, give It sta bility in the air and would serve as a parachute in case of accident to the machinery. Also the propellers can be worked either singly or in pairs, and could be used as rudders in case of acci dent to those parts of the steering apparatus. KaVanaugh and will be presented, at the next meeting of the Council. "There is no reason why we should allow frame docks to be constructed Immediately back of rows of brick I buildings." declared Beidlng after the party returned. "We never before ranll-TAri thfa en flonrlv flu tnriav after seeing the exact conditions along the j river. Wharves of concrete or other fire-proof material would greatly re duce the risk of conflagrations along the river 'and when the entire waterfront became lined with them they would be a pride to the city. "One' or two of the docks that we saw are in very bad condition. It might be advisable for ttie city to con demn 'these after the new ordinance is passed. In the interests of the city's extensive shipping the citizens should all unite for the improvement of the water front." While making the trip the Council men discussed somewhat the advantage of a" concrete wall along the - harbor line. This is another recommendation that has been made by Captain Speir and may be taken up after the passage of the Belding ordinance. Another object in making the trip was to select in a general way loca tions for five or six anchorage buoys that the Harbormaster desires placed in the river. These buoys, costing about $500 each, would be for th.e con venience of vessels entering the har bor and are fieslred by all shippers. The Councllmen favor the plan to in stall the buoys and it will probably also come up at the next meeting of the Council In the form of an appropria tion ordinance. TELLS OF TRIP TO EUROPE Thomas Roberts Returns After Six Months Spent in I'nlted Kingdom. Thomas Roberts,' of Roberts Broth ers, drygoods merchants at Third and Morrison streets, and an 18 years' resi dent of Portland, has Just returned from a six month' trip In Europe. Mr. Roberts was accompanied abroad by Mrs. Roberts. "I am glad to get back home," said Mr. Roberts In his private office last night. "Europe, what I saw of it, la all right for a change and a pleasure trip, but I would rather live right here In this city than any other place I have ever seen. "Mrs. Roberts and I spent about three months in Wales at the home of my parents; then we went to Ireland and took in the Dublin Fair, going thence to Belfast, where I attended to some business In connection with the pure linens our firm Imports direct from that place. London, of course, we saw for a few weeks, and then came straight home by the way of New York to Portland. "I can tell you little of business conditions either In Europe or the Eastern part of our "own country, be cause I was not on a business trip. I went mainly for a rest. But it seemed to me, what I saw of it, that business Is pretty good almost every where. , "We can ' tell better right here in the store . than any other way. Our business is at least 25 per cent better this month than for the same month last year. We must have larger quar ters somehow to keep up with it. And we find no trouble in getting all the help we want. Clerks are not as plentiful as last year, but we pay good wages and treat them right, so have ail the applicants for positions that we wish. We employ, by the way. about 70 men and perhaps 125 girls and women. - "We are having trouble to get goods here, but not so much because of the railroads as from the manufacturers being so far behind. Goods are sell ing Just as readily as ever. In fact more so than last year. As we dis count all bills for cash I cannot tell you from actual personal experience whether the money market is tight or not. It does not bother us. that I know. "I notice a big change in Portland even in the six months I have been away. The number of big buildings that have gone up in that time have in some places changed the very ap pearance of the streets as I have known them for the past 18. years. And the streets are much livelier and more crowded than they were when I left. I am surprised at the number of strange faces I see now compared with even six months ago. One who lives here does not notice this so much, perhaps, for it comes gradually; but to me it is very marked." CAPTAIN DORCY RETIRED Army Career or Portland Man Ends Because ot Physical Disability. Captain Ben Hollady Dorcy, of the cavalry arm. United States Army, a native of Portland, was retired from active service September 23 last, be cause of physical disability incident to the service. Captain Dorcy is the son of the late John Chlpman Dorcy. a native of New York, and Caroline Blrnie, daughter of the late James Birnie, of Aberdeen, Scotland, a trader of the Northwest Fur Company and the Hudson's Bay Company, who commanded first Fort Simpson and subsequently Fort George, the latter the present site of Astoria. As a boy. in Portland Captain Dorcy was employed by H. D. Sanborn In his office, Mr. Sanborn being then pur chasing agent of the Northern Pacific Railway. . t Captain Dorcy was named after the late Ben Holladay, by whom he was placed in the then Portland National Bank, but Just prior to Mr. Holladity's death he chose a military career. Cap tain Dorcy married Linda, only, daugh ter of Ben Holladay by his ' second wife, Esther Campbell. The Army and Navy Journal of Seo- tembcr 28 publishes the following 'ac count of Captain Dorcy's career: Captain Dorcy entered the Army at the ae of 17, enlisting in Troop B, Fourth United States Cavalrv, then commanded by the late General H. W. Lawton. With this command he served in Arizona against the renegade Apache Scouts from the San Carlos Agency. He accompanied his troop to Fort Myer in 18S7, and after Captain Lawlon was appointed an Inspector General he transferred to the Third Regiment of Artillery, bis battery be ing stationed at Washington Barracks. While in this command he was select ed by the late Major James M. Lan caster, then his battery commander, as a candidate for a commission; the proffered recommendation he. however, declined and left the Army to enter the departmental service at Washington, and was subsequently transferred to the Schuylkill Arsenal at Philadelphia, where he remained until the breaking out of the Spanish-American War, in which he served as battalion adjutant of the Third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. During the war he was twice detached from his regi ment, first as assistant to the quar termaster at Mount Gretna, Pa., and later as assistant to the depot com missary at Tampa, Colonel Ablel L. Smith, who had formerly been his first lieutenant in L&wton's command. By Colonel Smith he was sent to Cuba, where he served as an assistant to General Weston, by whom he was most highly commended for his services there. f After the Pennsylvania Volunteers had been mustered out Captain Dorcy re-entered the departmental service and was transferred to the office of the Quartermaster-General at Wash ington, which position he resigned to again enlist on March 1, 1899. He was STRIKING FEATURE OF BIG CONCERTS SIGNIFICANT FACT BROUGHT TO LIGHT IN CONNECTION WITH COMING MUSICAL EVENTS Sousa, Madame Maconda and Maud Powell Have Individual Opinions Widely Different on Some Points, but All Agree That the Line of Highest Quality Is Hard to Beat. In connection with the three great mu sical events which are to occur in Port land within the next'couple of weeks, there Is a most significant feature, which will demonstrate In a particularly strik ing manner the supremacy In certain lines occupied by one of Portland's well known firms. First, is the coming of Sousa and his band, who are to appear at the Armory on the 18th and 19th. Sousa, as will be noticed in an announcement elsewhere in today's papr, gives the Kimball Piano an eloquent indorsement. Next, on the evening of the 24th, will appear Madame Charlotte Maconda, at the Hellig Thea ter. In connection 'with her engagement is' noted the fact that the famous Chick erlng Piano will be used to accompany he"r. And on- the afternoon of the 25th will be heard Maud Powell, the great violinist, also at the Heillg Theater. Miss Powell will be accompanied bv the Weber Piano. Here. then, are three great artists, each at the top of the list In their particular field, and here, also, are the world's three greatest pianos, and the striking feature of the connection rests in the fact that each of these instruments Is repre sented in Portland by the same firm. It is not hard to guess the name of this establishment. for when .one thinks of leadership, the name of Filers comes first to mind. And when one thinks of Chiek ering, Weber, or Kimball, naturallv the thought is Instantly linked to Etlers Piano House. This striking illustration of the prestige enjoyed by these three greit leaders of the piano world, and of F.ilers Piano House, as exclusive representatives of these three renowned makes, is a most decisive one and leaves no room for ar gument as tothe supremacy 0f the House of Filers, and of the "Line of Highest Quality" as headed by these three world famous productions. Eilers Piano House has a splendid display of these three incomparable makes upon the floors at the present time, consisting of both uprights and grands, and prospective piano purchasers will find the exhibit well worthy of more than passing attention. examined for a commission while cor poral of Battery D. Fourth Artillery: commissioned ir. the Infantry on April 5. 1899. and transferred to the cavalry arm the following month and assigned to the Fourth Cavalry. His service with this regiment during the Insur rection was entirely with the First Squadron. In General Schwan's cam paign in Southern Luzon, with the ex ception of the first two days, he com manded Troop D, being subsequently stationed at. Naic and lmus in Cavlte Province, in charge of the "Spanish Fort" on Laguna de Taal in Batangas, and was last stationed at Laoag in IIocos Norte. In 1905 ho returned to the Philip pines with his regiment as squadron adjutant of the Third Squadron, with station at Jolo. serving as adjutant of that post from December until his pro motion and assignment to the Thir teenth Cavalry. During the Bud Dajo engagement' he was personally assigned to certain staff duty at one of the trails by General Wood. During his service Captain Dorcy has had charge of four different transports, cne trip of the Iroquois to Cuba in 1898, and the horse transports Leela naw and Athenian In 1899, and the Lenox in 1901, on the Pacific Ocean. Captain Dorcy was thrown and pawed by a vicious broncho at Hagers town. Md.. Inst October. He had been riding a horse reported as vicious, but which he had selected and broken for his exhibition drills. That which ap peared at the time to be the least of Captain Dorcy's Injuries, an injury to his right knee, finally resulted In his retirement. Captain Dorcy. with his wife and children, is temporarilv lo cated at 1519 O street. N, W., Wash ington, D. C-. which premises he has leased until he builds his permanent home at Chevy Chase, Md. NEW DIVISION IS CREATED Ilarrlman Management Recognizes Sacramento Section's Importance. The growing importance of the Sacra mento division of the Southern Pacific, due to the numerous extensions now being built from it Into new territory and the increasing volume of traffic handled over that part of the Southern Pacific system, has induced the management to create a new division, which will Include the terri tory from Red Bluff. Cal.. to Ashland.. Or. The old Sacramento division, out of which the new division has been carved, with Thomas Ahem as division superintend ent, consisted until now of 735 miles of road, including the crossing of the Sis kiyou Mountains to' the north and the climb over the Sierra Nevadas eastward to Sparks, Nev. ' The new division just established in cludes only the Siskiyou grade, which Is one of the most difficult pieces of rail roading in the West: Three locomotives are required on this grade for the ordi nary freight train. Superintendent Ahern's Jurisdiction will include also the California Northeastern from Weed to Klamath Falls, where eventually it will connect with another new road being built by the Southern Pacific from Klamath to the main ine at Natron, Or. This will Rive the Southern Pacific an EASY FOOD Ready for Instant I ne Without Cooking; Almost everyone likes a cereal food of some ktnd at breakfast and supper, but the ordinary way of cooking cereals re sults in a pasty mass that is hard to digest, and If not properly digested, the raw mass goes down into the intestinal tract, where gas is 'generated, and trou ble follows. Everyone knows that good food prop erly digested keeps the body well, while poor food, or even food of good quality that is poorly prepared and not digested, is sure to bring on some kind of disease. The easiest food to digest In this line is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat and barley, and cooked thoroughly at the factory, some 12 to 16 hours being con sumed in the different processes of prep aration. The food, therefore, is ready for instant service and the starch has been changed to a form of sugar; so that it is pre-dlgested and ready for al most Immediate absorption. A Chicago young lady writes that she suffered for years from indigestion and dyspepsia from the use of food that was no(, suitable to her powers of digestion. She says: "I began using Grape-Nuts, and I con fess to having had a prejudice at first, and was repeatedly urged before I finally decided to try the food, but I have not known what Indigestion is si ace using It, and have never been stronger or in better health. I have increased in weight from 109 to 124 pounds. People can be well, practically without cost, if they will adopt scientific food and leave off the Indigestible sort. "There's a Reason."

Bj Chase, the Player King.' SHERMAN, CLAY & CO. SIXTH AKD MORRISON STREETS Opposite Postofflce STEINWAY REPRESENTATIVES entirely new route for half the distance between Portland and 8an Francisco, completely avoiding the present heavy grades. The California Northeastern Is now in operation for 40 miles above Weed, and by the first of next month will, be com pleted to Dorrls-, 63 miles. Beyond this point a tunnel, now under construction. Is necessary, and this probably will uelay the opening of the line to Klamath until next Spring. The construction of the road Involves some heavy work through lava formation, with which It has been found very difficult to deal by ordinary methods. Mr. Harriman himself is deeply in terested In carrying out these projects. He spent his recent vacation In the new territory that will be developed by the building of the railroad from Weed through the Klamath district. Thousands of square miles of virgin territory with Immensely valuable timber and farming land will be opened up by this line. The new roads run through the Government's Klamath Lake reclamation project and skirts Crater Lake on the north. This great natural wonder has hitherto been practically inaccessible to tourists. Homeseekers Still Coming. Homeseekers are still pouring into Ore gon at a rate never before known. For the week ending October 8, the Harriman lines report that 1588 colonists came to Oregon on one-way tickets that Indicate the intention on the part of the new comers to remain In the state. This figure Is an Increase of 715 over the cor responding week of last year. Of this total, 479 came to Portland, 143 to points south of Portland, 15 to Milton, 12 to The Dalles. 18 to Bridal Veil. 15 to Pendleton. 11 to La Grande, 13 to Elgin, 13 to Baker City, andM3 to Walla Walla, Wash.
