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

its efforts to raise funds next Tuesday

In your invitation to President Roose
vent to comn to the Rose Festival next
year. I. A. NADEA17,
Director General.

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

I Will Issue Statement.
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:

JOHN ' PAUL" JONES DEAD
Widely-Known and. Popular Rail
road Man Passes Away.
John Paul Jones, traveling passenger
agent for the Southern Pacific lines In
Oregon, and one of the best-known and
most popular railroad men in the
state, died yesterday morning: at Good
Samaritan Hospital from a complica
tion of diseases. He had been ill for
months. Mr. Jones had traveled for
26 years for the Southern Pacific and
had an enviable reputation for cour
tesy, kindliness and sterling business
Integrity. His death will cause sorrow
to thousands throughout the Pacific
Coast.
The funeral will be held this after
noon at 1:30 o'clock from Rigdon's
undertaking chapel at Salem. Salem
was Mr. Jones home town and he
owned a farm near there where his
family resided. A special car of Port
lard railroad men will leave the city
tomorrow morning at 8:15 for Salem
to attend the funeral.
Mr. Jones was 55 years old and a
native of Missouri. He came to Ore
gon In 1881 and became connected
with the Southern Pacific as a forage
master for the Oregon & California
Railroad on construction work south
of Rosebursr. He returned East in
1884, after the road was completed,
but came back to Oregon three years
later and became traveling passenger
agent on the Oregon & California. He
remained continuously in that portion
for a quarter of a century. He
leaves a widow and his aged mother,
who live at Salem.
Mr. Jones was a member of the
Knights Templars, the Elks and the
Maccabees. While on the trip to Los
Angeles last Summer to the Templar
convention, Mr. Jones was first taken
ill and his recovery was despaired of
some time ago. The funeral services
this afternoon will be in charge of
the Knights Templars.
THIS IS WHATSOUSA SAYS
"The Pianola is unquestionably the
best of all . piano-players." And the
opinion of this great musical leader Is
unanimously shared by practically ev
ery other great musical celebrity
throughout all the world. The Pianola
player and Pianola Piano are univer
sally recognized as standard of the
world. Musically and mechanically
they stand incomparable. In buying
an instrument of this class, one na
turally desires the best; a comparison
of other makes with the genuine
Pianola at once demonstrates the su
periority of this famous instrument.
To convince yourself that the Pianola

half cylinder, the under side having two
concave surfaces on each side of the cen

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

Mr. Branch has been invited to send the
model of his ship to the exhibition of the

New York, October 25-30, and will ship It

the concave lateral planes, which, faced
as they are with aluminum, give It sta

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.

party returned. "We never before

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

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."
Grape-Nuts Food is crisp and delicious
to the taste. It should be served exactly
as it comes from the package, without
cooking; except in cases where it Is made
up into puddings and other desserts.
