FOR NEXT SHOW
Public Asked to Guarantee
Success of Great Livestock
Exhibit in 1909.
SALE OF SEASON TICKETS
Directors Start Campaign for Sub
scriptions to Prevent Repetition
of Cni-atli-factory Attendance
at Meet Just Closed.
Word has already gone forth from the
men who made the Pacific National Show
this year a triumph of turfdom and a
livestock exposition of National eminence
for a greater, grander spectacle next
year. Hearts less courageous than those
possessed by the directors of the Country
Club and Livestock Association might
have given up the task In despair in
the face of the poor public support ac
corded the magnificent show which
closed its gates, last night, but these
men have already girded up their loins
for a campaign which they believe will
stir Portland from Its lethargy and com
mand the tribute of universal support
when the .jafes of the second annual Pa
cific National Show swing open Monday
morning. September 22. 19.
A plan has already been hit upon which
it is believed will achieve this result. In
fact, the plan was given life yesterday
even before the crowd, by far the largest
of the week, had left for home after
the finish of the racing programme. Sev
eral of the directors held an Informal
meeting. They swallowed their disap
pointment, keen as It was, for the turn
stiles showed that Salem the preceding
week had t'iree times the attendance at
Its State Kair that Portland had last
week.- Yet the Pacific National Show ex
celled Salem's Fair from the racing
standpoint and equalled it In the quality
of its industrial exhibits.
Bid for Public Interest.
As formulated, this plan requires that
the public shall show its interest in the
development of the livestock Industry
of this state and in the fostering of the
harness racing sport by giving an ad
vance guarantee that there shall be a
good attendance at next year's show, no
matter what happens. To this ,end a
vigorous campaign will he instituted for
the sale of seats for next year's meet
ing. These tickets shall be transferrahle
,and good for the entire six days. In
cluding grandstand privileges, and will be
sold for Jo each. The Oregonian has
started the list by subscribing for 20 of
these tickets and it is suggested that
this number be the limit to the subscrip
tion of any one individual, firm or cor
poration. Tuesday morning. September 29. The
Oregonian will print a list of these sea
son ticket subscribers. Persons who sub
scribe for one ticket, two, three, five or
ten will b! doing Just as much good in
proportion to their ability as will those
who take 24.
When the directors considered this
proposition yesterday, some were dubious
about its feasibility and its reception by
the public. Then the events of the
week's meet were gone over in detail.
Attention was called to the fact that 16
different racetrack records were broken
In the six days: to the fact that several
of these records were of National im
portance In the annals of turfdom: that
no racetrack ever started off on a career
of racing under more favorable auspices
than the loca.1 course has.
Plan Has Two Objects.
Th um'ted voice of the judges in the
livestock department to the effect that
no city on the American continent ever
gave a finer exposition the first time than
Portland did the past week. This spirit
of optimism was soon infused in every
heart and the plan was approved. It wiil
have a two-fold purpose and meaning
If successful. In the first place It wlil
mean the binding together in a com
mon interest In the success of the 1109
meet hundreds and perhaps thousands of
people where stock subscriptions would
limit the scopd of the enterprise to a
much smaller number. Secondly, it will
guarantee a large regular daily attend
ance at the next meeting for these season
tickets will b- transferable and in casa
the purchaser cannot use them, he may
pass them on to someone else.
This scheme, according to the Country
Club directors, appears to be the most
feasible plan for assuring the success of
future shows.
"We were pretty badly upset." said
President S. O. Reed, of the Country Club
and livestock Association. la.t night,
"when we took a square-faced view of
the situation. Here we have expended
over S150.W0 in this enterprise which at the
beginning Nature herself had given an
inestimable value in the beauty and pic
turesqueness of location, for no arna or
amphitheater built by human hands in
the history of the world possesses the
natural beauty and scenic grandeur of the
Country Club track. Here we have given
the people of the Northwest, without any
question, the grandest week of harness
racing the West ever knew and we have
Jie'.d the greatest livestock exposition ever
g.ven this side the Mississippi River.
IHreotors Not Discouraged.
"And yet the public showed but very In
different appreciation of it. While dis
appointed we are not discouraged. This Is
a new enterprise for Portland. City-bred
people don't know the possibilities of the
Korthwest in the field of livestock raising
an our Industrial exhibition went unappre
ciated by all save those who know good
stock and know what other sectiona of
the country are doing.
"What we have a right to ask the citi
irns of Portland is this: Are we going to
let it be known throughout the land that
a city the size of Portland lias not the
civic pride, the patriotism to support an
enterprise of the huge proportions of the
Pacific National show just closed? We
ought to think about another thing. Last
meek on Portland Pay of the State Fair,
more people from this city made the trip
to Salem, paid railroad fare, entrance
fees. etc.. to see what was going on
thre. than attended the Pacific National
show, as good at least as the State Fair.
and right here in our own city. How to
account for this human inconsistency is
what puzzles us. but I believe the season
ticket sale will solve the problem, for I
think we hare won over every person
who attended the meet the past week."
"It's a good plan." said H. C. Campbell,
another director, hist night. "We have
scarcely recovered from our chagrin over
the unappreciativeness of the Portland
public, but there must be a reason for
the lack of support. Probably it will be
a matter of education to make the Pacific
National show a permanent success. I
have a little sermon to preach about the
whole affair, however, and that is thts:
Oid Fill Cody can come into town with a
bunch of face-besmeared and ugly-bedaubed
Indians and some cheap-skate
horses that ought to be in the bone-yard
and pack his show to the guy-ropes at
Sl.fo a throw. Buffalo Bill can come here
and In two days take not lesa than tSO.OuO
of our good money out of town, for a
hippodrome of no educational value, of
no uplift to those who see it, of no per
manent value, of no particular worth of
any sort and carry away these JW000 and
yet we. who have struggled for more than
a year to give the most magnificent, stock
show and race meet ever held in these
parts don't get JW.OOD in the whole week.
"Let me tell you what such a show as
ours means. Professors Rutherford and
Carlyle. two of the leading judges at the
State Fair and here, and men of broad
est experience and of National fame as
livestock experts, told me a day or so ago
that if they could arrange their business
interests in such a way as to permit It,
they would move to Oregon within the
next year and go Into the livestock breed
ing and raising business. That's what
these shows can do for Oregon."
Bring Thousands to Oregon. '
"While I haven't considered tle plan
seriously, it looks mighty good to me,"
said State Dairy and Pure Food Commis
sioner Bailey, another director. "What we
need is public support. The more people
we can get Interested the better, and this
scheme seems to cover the ground thor
oughly. It will bring in thousands where
we couldn't get hundreds in any other
way. The state of Oregon has never
had sues a successful livestock show as
the one just closed and we must do some
thing to continue the good work."
"I'll do everything I can to help the
game along." said Dr. Emmett Drake.
I'll even get right out among my friends
and sell these tickets. We can't afford to
let the opportunity we now have in our
grasp to make Portland the greatest live
stock center In the West pass by."
Tom Richardson, manager of the Port
land Commercial Club, said:
"The benefit of the Portland Country
Ciub and Livestock Association can only
be estimated from a financial view point
when one considers what has been accom
plished for Kansas City. Chicago and
Omaha through being livestock centers.
"Next year the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition will draw thousands of visi
tors, and the biggest feature of the Expo
sition will be the livestock show Just as
It was at the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion, and If- Portland goes to work at
once and decides upon great purses for

the two stared a moment at each other.
Fifty-seven years nad wrought such a
wonderful change in their physique and
expression that it was not expected that
they should .recognize each other. Final
ly Thomas saw the family resemblance
to an older brother, of whom he had
seen much In Oregon, and he recognized
the doctor and made himself known.
The meeting was not only remarkable,
but It was almost pathetic, as all their
family of 14 had passed away, and there
had been such a revolution since they
parted 57 years ago in a cornfield in Lin
coln County, Mo. At that time Thomas
became Imbued with a desire to go to a
new country, and without telling the
family all about his plans he arranged

year, arranges excursions from Oregon
and Washington points, has a double elec
tric line to the grounds and that charac
ter of improvement which can be made
during the next 12 months, the show will
be a great big success, and it will con
clusively prove, as thousands already be
lieve, that livestock reaches a higher
standard in this section of the United
States than anywhere else in Europe or
America.
"An advance attendance must be as
sured for the next meeting before addi
tional capital can be secured, but now
that Portland owns the finest track on the
Pacific Coast and has a magnificent set
ting for a wonderful show, there should
b no let-up until this city becomes the
acknowledged livestock center of all the
country West of the Rocky Mountains."

that day. Tom went out into the field
where his brother, C. B.. then nick
named "Key." was cutting corn and said:
"Well, good-bye Key, I am going to
Oregon and don't know when I will see
you again." This startled his young
brother, who was then only about 10
years old. and he laid down his corn
knife and followed Tom back to the
house. After bidding the whole fam
ily good-bye and against their wishes,
Thomas saddled his horse and rode to
Hickery Grove, where he joined the
Scott brothers, with their ox team and
cattle, which they drove overland 2000
miles to the Willamette Valley. Oregon.
Mr. Faulconer says that the last house
he saw between Missouri and the State

speaking of this place. Mr. Faulconer
said: .
"Danville is not as good a town sow
as it was 67 years ago." This retrogra
dation was explained to the Oregonian
by telling him It was due to the fact
that a county seat wsr had been rag
ing at Intervals In this county for over
60 vears, being inaugurated shortly after
he bade his brother goOd-bye in the Lin
coln County cornfield, coupled with the
facts that Danville missed the railroads
and also suffered from a raid by Bill
Anderson, the Civil War guerilla.
When asked why he had not come back
from Oregon sooner to see his brother,
Mr. Faulconer said:
"I had intended to come back about
the time the Civil War began, but the
war spirit was so manifest In Missouri
I concluded to postpone the trip."
Thomas' sympathies were with the
Union, and his brother, C. B. Faulconer,
had cast his lot with the Confederates.
Now they have both changed their po
litical views and cannot be called either
Democrats. Republicans, Federals or
Confederates, as they are one in spirit
and their political proclivity and sym
pathies are with the Prohibitionists.
Dr. Faulconer is a prominent and well-to-do
citizen of this city, and Thomas
Faulconer Is highly esteemed as a citi
zen of Oregon. He was prominent in
politics In Oregon and was appointed In
dian claim agent by President Cleveland
during his first administration.
Thomas F. Faulconer had been a
resident of Portland for the past six
years, and was engaged in the wood
business at the east end of the Steel
bridge for about Ave years, but retired
a short time ago. William Blackburn,
who has a confectionery store at 780
Washington street, at the entrance to
the City Park, is his son-in-law.
Brakeman Badly Crushed.
F. J. Buehler, a switchman employed by
the O. R. & W.. was seriously injured yes
terday afternoon near the Albina car
shops. Buehler who was one of the crew
of a switching train was caught between
two cars and badly crushed. His right
arm was broken and he sustained internal
injuries which make his recovery doubt
ful. He was taken to St. Vincent's Hospi
tal In the Red Cross ambulance.
WEEK'S BUILDING PERMITS
Over $300,000 Represented In Cost
of 110 Items.
During the past week there were 110
building permits issued, carrying an esti
mated cost of construction of $327,000. The
largest items were for repairs on the
Ablngton building, recently gutted by
fire, which is placed at $60,000, and an
other portion of work on the new Home
opathic Hospital on the Bast Side fig
ures at JoO.OOO.
For the month to date there have been
869 permits issued for work to cost on
estimates J717.412. That total falls short
of last September's total for the whole
month by over J100.000, but the next three
days will more than likely bring this
month up to or over that of last year.
Last month the total was $772,396. and
September Is certain to exceed that.

The Superiority of the-
TEINWAY
is due to a single invincible reason SUPREME
merit. The Steinway is an art ideal realized
Steinway construction has been continuously the criterion for the piano
industry for over fifty years always in advance and never improved upon by
any other maker always absolutely sound and never superseded in any
particular. .
There is but one Steinway quality, whether of grands or uprights, for con
cert or for home use, and that is always the highest. It has never been
sacrificed for any reason; it has never varied at any time. Consequently
Steinway reputation never fluctuates. Everywhere and invariably the name
Steinway on a piano means one thing only the best. We- have been selling
Steinway Pianos for many years and have never taken greater pride in hand
ling them, and have never been more impressed with their notable superiority
than today.
We invite you to visit our spacious Steinway salesrooms and inspect our
magnificent collection of the finest pianos ever built.
