SPREADING the fame of the Alaska-Yukon-Paciflo
Exposition, a spe
cial train of Seattle and Tacoma
peoplo reached Portland yesterday
afternoon on their ' way to Southern
California. Their mission la to unite
the Pacific states and invite all to visit
the' fair at Seattle this Summer. The
visitors were entertained here on their
way south and left last night after ex
pressing their appreciation of Port
land's hospitality.
The special excursion party Is headed
by Mayor Miller, of Seattle; I. A.
Kadeau, director-general of the expo
sition; Secretary Tandell. of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, and Secretary
Et. Clair, of the Tacoma Chamber of
Commerce. After viewing the city
yesterday from special trolley cars, the
entire party was dined at the Commer
cial Club at 6:30 o'clock, and upon the
completion of the dinner speechmaking
was the order of the day.
After the meal was over. President
Vetherbee. of the Commercial Club,
who presided., introduced Mayor Lane,
who made a short speech of welcome.
Mayor John Miller, of Seattle was next
introduced, and responded gracefully to
Portland's welcome to the party.
'"I wish to express to you the deep
appreciation we feel for this hospital
ity to us." he said. "I can only hope
that when the fair is opened we may
Imitate the hospitality Portland showed
during: the Lewis and Clark Fair."
C. C. Chapman spoke for Portland,
saying he wanted the visitors, as they
go down the Coast, to remember that
they always have a welcome here wait
ing for them. Ho also urged the trav
elers that when all the visitors to the
fair reach Seattle to send some of them
down to Portland to see the sights of
this city.
George H. Stone, of Tacoma, made an
Interesting address, and said:' "It is said
to be the secret of hospitality to make
the guest feel perfectly at home. If
this be true, Portland certainly is a
perfect host. We have come from
Puget Sound to fulfill a mission. ,"V"e
are going to have an exposition next
Summer, and we are here to speak of
the things we have tnere. We want to
invite you t. come up and visit us.
This new fertile region has greater op
portunities than any other spot In the
world. Nowhere else is everything so
Invltlny. We believe no trip the cltlr
ens of the East can make will be
worth his while so much as this one to
the Northwest. So we are issuing the
Invitation and telling the story so that
people will come out here and see us."
Mr. Stone closed with a - graceful
tribute to Mount Hood.
T. W. B. London spoke briefly, and
said there is no cause for jealousy be
tween the three cities represented. Ta
coma, he said, was known as the chief
grain port of Puget Sound, as well as
for its lumber, while -Seattle, the Queen
City, held the Alaska trade. Portland,
he said, had the trade of the Columbia
basin, and was, consequently, the chief
grain port on the Pacific.
I. A. N'adeau. director-general of the
exposition, said:
"The exposition belongs to the people
of the Paciflo Coast. It represents the
loyalty and spirit, of the great West
The beat thing about it is that It will
be complete and ready In every detail
on June 1. Buildings not almost fin
ished are well along. We ask the co
operation of all the people of the
Northwest to make this fair a great
success. We are thankful to be with
you tonight, and extend a cordial in
vitation to be present in Seattle next
Bummer."
W. H. Wehrung- apoke briefly of the
spirit of co-operation that has been
manifested n this state, and W. C.

Wheeler, of Tacoma, was Introduced.
He said in part: "I never come to
Portland but I feel glad I came. Ta
coma is specially interested in the ex
position, and we are raising a special
fund in our city to help out the work.
I hope when you come north to the
fair you will stop off and visit Ta
coma you'll like it."
Professor E. S. Meany, of the Uni
versity of Washington, made an enter
taining speech. He said that Wash
ington spends more money for educa
tion than any other state, but that, de
spite this fact, Oregon has the least il
literacy. T. S. LIppy, of Seattle, waa the last
speaker, and asked for co-op?ration in
the common work of promoting the
best interests of the entire Pacific
Northwest.
Following the speeches, the guests
were shown about the club by the' members,-
and an informal reception was
held that lasted until the time set for
the special train leaving the Union sta
tion, 10:30 o'clock. Old friendships
were renewed, new ones formed, and
when the Seattle and Tacoma visitors
left for their cars they had a warmer
spot than ever before in their hearts
for Portland and her people.
Upon arrival at the Union Depot yes
terday afternoon at 3:30, the train hav
ing been delayed an hour on its way
from the Sound, a committee of wel
come met the excursionists and escort
ed them to waiting streetcars, when a

THOMPSON
WILLS MAKES HINTS
Says He Has Information to
Disclose About Police.
FOLLOWS UP HIS RAID
Will Appear Before Liquor License
Committee and Demand Revoca
tion of Licenses gt Saloons
Upon Which He Descended.
When the liquor licence committee of
the City Council meets tomorrow after
noon Councilman Wills promises to show
up the present police administration and
substantiate what he has already 6am
about conditions being exceedingly bad
In the North End district. He eays he
will disclose information that will have
a tendency to make Mayor Lane and his
political lieutenants sit up. The action
will tie on the charges preferred by Mr.
Wills aealnst Ed Blazier and Max Zetos,
saloonkeepers In the district named. -In
the Blazier establishment two weeks ago
the Councilman from Sellwoodt found a
large, full-fledged poker game' In prog
ress and caused a raid to be made. In
which 35 players were arrested and later
fined, and In Zetos" place he discovered
a bartender celling liquor to an Intoxi
cated man.
The raid was personally conducted by
Councilman Wills, who called In the po
lice and remained with them until the
entire outfit was lodged at headquarters,
after eeveral patrol wagons full of hu
manity had been carted from Blazier's
Faloon and deposited at the station house.
It was the biggest surprise the police
had experienced for many a month, and
they at once began to say it would be
difficult for Mr. Wills to prove the men
were really Rambling. The Councilman
remarked, "however, he would prove It
without a bit of trouble, and when the
matter was called In Municipal Court
the next day the defendants all entered
pleas of guilty and were fined.
The fact that a Councilman discovered
and directed a raid on a full-fledged
poker game caused much comment, and
It was hinted the police were not as
watchful as they should be. However,
Chief Gritxmacher. In explanation of the
affair, said Detective Sergeant Kay had
been planning a raid on Blazier's saloon
for some time, and that he was about
to act when Councilman Wills got In
ahead. Referring to this statement, Mr.
WrIlls said he was very sorry If he in
terfered with the plans of the police,
but he maintained he knew one thing
there was gambling running in the open,
without any apparent fear of molesta
tion by the police.
The raid on Blazier's saloon was the
occasion for activity In the office of
Mayor Lane also. The executive Imme
diately Issued a statement that the po
lice were handicapped In their operations
by various tricks played by gamblers
to thwart the officers of the law In the
effort to detect gaming, and that the
orders to the police were to allow no
gambling whatever, but to arrest all
offenders.
In view of the facts that have devel
oped since the raid by Councilman Wills,
it Is believed in official circles that the
session of the liquor license committee,
scheduled for ! o'clock tomorrow after
noon, wll be highly Interesting. The sa-
loonkeepers mentioned have been sum
moned to appear at that time to show
cause why their license should not be
revoked.

Joe Zazaro, Italian, Slips Off Logs
and Goes Under.
y
Joe Zazaro, an Italian mill laborer,
was drowned in the millpond of a saw
mill at Mlddleton, Washington County,
yesterday afternoon. The mill is oper
ated by J. .H. Johnson, successor to the
Mlddleton Lumber Company. The Ital
ian was crossing on 'logs when he
slipped and fell into the water. He
was employed as a yardman, and his
duties did not require that he go on
the logs, It is said, but he did so In or
der to take a short cut.
Fellow-workmen saw Zazaro fall
into the pond, and Immediately went
to his assistance. Before they could
reach him he had gone down for the
last time, and, although men dived for
the body, the water was so cold they
could not reach him. The body was re- i
covered about an hour after the acci
dent, which occurred at 3 P. M.
Zazaro was a single man, 28 years
old, and had worked at the mill only a
short time. He had lived in the neigh
borhood for the past five years, and, so
far as known, had no relatives in this
country.

LOGIC
If we advertise to sell you a
piano today for $223.00 that was
$446.00 yesterday, would you not
think the man who paid $446.00
was wronged?
We have no reason for offering
a $400 piano for $200. Values
do not fluctuate in this way. Our
$400 values are worth $400. Our
$200 piano is wor.th $200. Whjy
shojild your neighbor pay twice as
much as you pay for the same ar
ticle T
Visit our store every piano
marked in plain figures. Every
figure is right. Every piano worth
what the figures say. It is worth
something to know the value is
right. It is no mistake to buy
where you get "An Honest Piano
at an Honest Price."

verbal encounters of the matter-of-fact
porkpacker with the father of his aristo
cratic son-in-law afforded frequent op
portunities for humor. Though the play
was written in German by German
authors for the German stage it prac-.
tieally culminates In a glorification of
American ideals, and testifies to the re
spect and regard manifested in some
German circles toward this country.
The eight characters in tha cast were
all well portrayed. Margeurtte Ortman
was pleasing as the Chicago heiress. The
rolo of Rudolf, the aristocratic suitor.
was-prayed with dignity by Martin Dudel.
Oscar Halm brought out all the humorous
possibilities in the character of Thomas
Forster, the porkpacker. The Baron
Maximilian von Wettlngen, of Frana
Moor, added much to the success of the
performance.
