PHOTOGRAPHS OF INAUGURATION DAY CEREMONIES AT WASHINGTON, D. C
COSES
V
WASHINGTON, TJ. C, March 13.
(Special.) The experience of
thousands who started for Washington
the nlgrht before inauguration day, ex
pecting to see Mr. Taft sworn In, and
were caught In the blizzard, was very
aggravating, yet It was not without Its
picturesque features. Passengers who
left New Tor, at 9:26 by the Pennsyl
vania, who should have been In Wash
ington shortly after 3 o'clock, found
themselves at 6 In the morning stalled
on the outskirts of Baltimore. As time
Went on and the passengers dressed
and got out. there was a loud demand 1
lor something to eat. The train had no
dlnlng-car, or even a buffet. On the
adjoining track pulled In" the special
train of the .West Point cadets. There
was a dining-car on this train, but
nothing could be had by the passengers
on the other train. thingry and un
happy, the passengers got out last
night's newspapers and did what they
could to amuse themselves.
Presently the people who lived in the
houses next the track realized the pos
sibilities of turning an honest penny
and sent out small boys with baskets of
sandwiches and cups of coffee. These
the passengers eagerly seized, though
the sandwiches were wrapped in old
newspapers, and were none too attrac
tive even without their wrapping. Oys
ter sandwiches were 10 cents, and a
wee sausage on a piece of bread which
had been smeared with syrup was 5
cents. Up and down the length of the
stalled trains went the boys, crying
their wares for more than two hours.
Meantime there was no encouragement
to the passengers. - But after two hours
and a half of waiting, the conductor
of one of the trains walked ahead to
the next signal tower and got written
permission from the operator to move
on.
With this order he pulled his train
through the tunnel into Baltimore, and
there with fresh orders started for
Washington. But the run to Washing
ton, which ordinarily takes an hour,
took nearly three hours on the morn
ing of March 4. The telegraph wires,
laden with Ice. had fallen, and in many
cases had dragged the poles with them.
In the early morning these poles had
obstructed the track, and It took the
first train seven hours to get through
from Washington to Baltimore.
Later trains both ways were held up
lor lack of signals. The engineer
would pull his train to the tower, and.
stopping, would get permission to' pass
Into the next block. Then he would
pull slowly ahead again until he came
to another tower. In this way, trains
felt their way toward Washington.
When the first of the delayed passen
gers reached the city the inauguration
ceremony was all over, and the Inau
gural paraders were digging their way
through the slush down Pennsylvania
avenue.
AUTO ROAD BEING BUILT
iPortland-Tillamook Highway W Ml
Have 2 Per Cent Grade.
i,. H. Virgil, a former Portland property-owner,
now of Tillamook, has been
In the city the past week working in
the Interest of a new automobile road
to Tillamook City. He announces that
a new road is being surveyed between
Sheridan and Tillamook City, which
will at no place have a grade greater
than 2 per cent, and provide a fine auto
mobile run from Portland to Tillamook
He said that when this stretch of three
and a half miles of new road between
Kherldan and Tillamook City has been
built, automobiles can leave Portland at
7 A. M. and reach Tillamook City by 3
P. M-, and travel at a moderate speed.
Yamhill and Tillamook counties, said
Mr. Virgil, will do their part toward
building this stretch of road, and he
has received assurances of assistance
from Portland owners of automobiles.
He subscribed $100 toward the con
struction of this road himself. The
cost has not yet been estimated, but the
survey will be completed within a short
time, when the cost will be estimated.
Mr. Virgil will return to Portland when
the survey is finished, arid afford automobile-owners
the opportunity to as
sist In. paying the cost.
The road will be one of the most pic-

Forty Cents More for
Conscience Fund
Man Who Stole lUde From Jraigi
to I-lbby, Mont., Rentorea Price of
Ticket to Grral Northern KatlTiay.
CONSCIENCE smitten because he
had once evaded the conductor on
a Great Northern .train and ridden
from Jennings to LJbby, Mont., with
out paying his fare, a man who re
quested that his . name be withheld
entered the Great Northern office on
Third street yesterday and paid 40
cents over the - counter, the price of
the stolen ride. The money will go Into
the conscience fund of the. railroad and
Its final use is problematical. It is
probable it will be devoted to some
charitable purpose.
City Passenger Agent Dixon, of-the
Great Northern, accepted the 40 cents
and promised to respect the man's
wishes that his name be not made pub
lic. Mr. Dixon remitted the money to
the St- Paul headquarters of the Hill
road yesterday and affixed a note to
General Passenger Agent A. I. Craig.
He detailed the circumstances of the
contribution and said the remorseful
passenger had had this matter on his
conscience since 1896. when the trip
was made, but had now managed to
accumulate enough money to liquidate
his debt to the railroad.
Such honesty, while remarkable, is
not unknown to the railroads, every
one of which receives similar contribu
tions every little while. People gener
ally do not scruple to cheat the rail
roads, arguing that anyone who can
get ahead of a big corporation' de
serves credit for the act. But some
times they repent of their action later
and square It with their consciences
by sending the price of the stolen ride
to the railroad victimised.
WOMEN SUFFRAGE WORK
Reoent Campaign In Washington
State Is Reviewed.
PORTLAND. March 13. (To the Editor.)
So many of the m-c men of WashincLon are
writing and peaklnc n unatlnted pralee
of the valuable tMlnance rendered them In
the late legislature by pubbc-oplrlted mem
bers of the two houses, that I cannot re
frain from calMnir their attention to the
fact that their warmest supporter from
tart to fin!h were originally Oreg-onlana.
Senator Piper, of Kins; County, to whom
the women are according- unjtlnted praise
for his leadership In securing tho submis
sion of the equal suffrage amendment In
the Everneen State. 1 remind them through
The Oregonlan. that the said Senator is an
Oregon product the progressive son of a
liberty-loving father and mother, formerly
of Albany, to whom the undersigned la proud
to acknowledge herself Indebted for much
valuable assistance In th earlier years of
her public stewardship, when the advocacy
of equal rights for women meant ostracism,
tale eggs and. In some Instances, bouquets
of decaying vegetables. Instead of the honors
thai greet her now. She also had among
her never-to-be-forgoten allies. In the long
ago. the honored parents of Hen a tor East
ham, a native son of Oregon, of whom Mrs,
Flora MoKlnney. formerly of Portland, and
now of Seattle, wired me. saying: "Vote

County, voting yes."
Among the many letters at hand, giving
details of the long-drawn strugK'e In the
Senate, after the lower house had given
many mora than the necessarr twr-thlrds
votes to submit the anendment (many mem
bers being accused of voting "ytt" In the
belief that they were passing It up to the
Senate to be killed. I am proud to men
tion such writers as Major and Mrs, Cicero
Newell and Mrs. Uvesty, all former resi
dents and suffrage workers of Portland, and
Mrs. Lucia P. Isaacs, now of Walla Walla,
none of whom faltered for a moment In
their faith and hope for the victory In the
Senate and for which they now as con
fidently await the result during the Idea of
November. 1010.
But my most painstaking correspondent
during all this anxious period has been
Mrs. May Arkwright Huttcn. of Spokane, a
millionaire mlneowner. who tasted the sweets
of equality rights for wcmen before the
law in tho State of Idaho, where she still
holds her cltlsenshlp. pending the result
of the- referendum vote In Washington.
From ber letters, I have abridged these
Items:
Our bill, which was Introduced In tha
House early In the aesnlon by Representa
tive Bell, of Pierce County, and passed
up to the Senate In the belief of many that
It would be smothered In committee, aroused
the women Into Intense activity. We main
tained a canmodlous headquarters, and
proved to the satisfaction of many of our
former opponents that ''women reaUy do
want to vote.' We attended the cfovern
ors housewarmfng. arrayed In our finest
apparel, and were out In force at the Inaug

During the warm Summer months Catarrh sufferers are not
troubled with the effects of the disease, as in Winter. This is true be
cause in the heated season every pore and outlet of the skin is
open, and a constant, copious evaporation carries off with it a large
percentage of the impurities and poisons which produce Catarrh. But
at the first sign of cooler weather the sufferer's comfort ends ; the skin
does not secrete as freely, a congested condition of the system takes
place, and soon every
miserable symptom of
Catarrh is harassing
and causing discomfort
to the unfortunate
ones.
Catarrh is a deep
seated blood disease,
one which no amount of
local treatment will ever
reach and permanently
cure. The beneficial
effects of washes,
sprays, inhalations, lo
tions, etc, are only
temporary, and when
left off the old condi
tion returns because
the blood is infected
with catarrhal matter
and impurities. This

the mucous membrane
and tissues and pro
duces the symptoms of
ringing noises in the
head and ears, mucus
In the throat, head
aches, watery eyes,
partial deafness, sore
throat, general impair
ment of the health, etc.
To cure Catarrh
permanently the blood
must be purified, and
the system cleansed of
all morbid matters, and
at the same time strengthened and built up. Nothing equals S. S. S
for this purpose. It attacks the disease at its head, goes down to tho
yery bottom of the trouble in the blood, and makes a permanent and
lasting cure. S. S. S. removes every particle of the catarrhal matter
from the circulation, making this vital fluid pure, fresh and healthy.
Then the inflamed membranes begin to heal, because they are nourished
with pure, health-giving blood, the head is cleared, mucus stops
dropping back into the throat, every symptom disappears, the constitu
tion is built up and health restored. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood
gurifiers and cures Catarrh by driving out the cause from the system.
;emg made entirely of healthful vegetable ingredients S. S. S. does
not contain any habit forming drugs, which really do not cure Catarrh
but often ruin the health ; nor will S. S. S. injure the most delicate sys
tems. Book on Catarrh and any medical advice free to all who write.

I have but one answer. Walt and see.
Oregon men prepared the may for us last
July and AuruM for re-suivrtilttins; our
amendment to enfrauchtse taxpsylns; women
citisena. To reach this vantaae around,
we were not compelled to maintain any
lobby. We Just appealed to thm for liberty
as citizens of a state which taxes us
without allowing us representation and gov
erns us without our consent. Our men of
Oregon may be slower-going In sroe re
spects than thoso of Washington Many of
them sent their money for a long time to
build your cities and railroads, or subscribed
stock to the 11111 and Harrlman enterprises,
to be expended elsewhere. Hut our men

I wish every man in Washington could
have been at the Hell Iff Theater In Port -land
last Tuesday to hear the brief but
brave and eloquent trllute paid to women
cltisens by C. K. Henry, chairman of the
meeting. In which he marked the contrst
between the home-making., law-abiding
women of Oregon, who cannot vote, and
the murderous hobos who vote against us
at every election. Mr. Henry emphasised
his utterances by app lntlng a noble, public-spirited
woman cltisen as a member of
his committee of 1.. who are being or
ganized to study Into the municipal affairs
of our great and growing metropolis, in
quest of the financial leaks that have over
burdened women with the "taxation without
representation against which men are
calling upon us to protest.
We so. rowfullv admit that men nbound
in both states who are mortally afrsld of
votes for women. This far -rops out
sometimes Jn cartoons, portraying us as
toothless, quarrelsome crones, f.om whom
mere men are timorously seeking to hide
behind the coverts of the law. their only
hope to hold their own In an imaginary
conflict with their mothers resting evi
dently In their continued monopoly of the
ballot. Nothing can cure these men of
their timidity but the exwrclee of a little
common senve, and this can only come to
them as it did to all such men in
Wyoming. Colorado. Ttah and Idaho,
through the experience m th which m iser
and braver men are preparing to endow
them at the polls, in 1910.

PLANS FINE ROSE GARDEN
lovrr Company Will Make Oaks
Itosort Bower of Beauty.
Plans r under way to make Th
Oaks, the Summer amusement park of
the Portland Hallway. Ug:tit & Power
Company, the finest rose Harden In the
whole world. A local florist has the
matter in charge, and has set out thou
sands of rosea durinK the Winter. The
plants are growing well, and during the
cominir Summer the park will be a
beautiful place, because of the profu
sion of roses. More roses will be set
out each year until the whole place is
one vast rose garden.
AH conditions are favorable for the
best development of roses at the amuse
ment resort. The high blult on the
east of The Oaks shelters the place
from the cold winds in Winter, and the
warm water of the Willamette River
aids the growth of the roses. It is said
that the profusion of electric lights at
the park stimulates the growth of the
rose bushes to a remarkable extent,
causing them to grow during the night
as well as In daytime. The soil at The
Oaks is also highly favorable to the de
velopment of Portland's famous flower.
The question of opening The Oaks
during the coming Summer is still held
In abeyance pending the Anal decision
In regard to opening the Madison-street ,
bridge to streetcar traffic If this
bridge Is not opened, it Is regarded as
assured thnt The Oaks will not be
opened with the usual amusement fea
tuies. but will be maintained simply as
a park where people may go and Obtain
recreation.
"We are awaiting the outcome of the
examination of the bridge by experts,
as directed by the city." said President
Josselyn, of the electric company, yes
terday. "If their report Is adverse to
reopening the bridge, that will, of
course, settle the matter. We object,
however, to the bridge being closed
without the opinion of expert bridge
engineers being obtained."
