A request will be made that all busl ness houses in the city-be decorated in the colors of the Japanese nation while the visitors are in the city. When the representatives of the American Cham bers of Commerce visited in Japan ail the Japanese buildings wherever the Americans appeared were elaborately decorated in American colors, and it is desired earnestly by the Chamber of Commerce reception committee that the honor be returned in good measure. O. M. Clark, representing the Port land Chamber of Commerce, has been commissioned by the Chamber to take the trip through the United States with the party. Baron Shibusawa. the leader of the visiting, party, is one of the greatest politicians, business men, industrial organizers, social reformers and philan thropists of the Mikado s realm. In his career of 60 years he has taken a great interest in inducing foreign capi tal to Invest In Japan, and has proposed the passage of several Important rail way and mine laws. He early recog nized the necessity of co-operative en terprises between the Japanese and for elgners, and has done much to help various undertakings in China. Two achievements of the Baron are claimed particularly by the Japanese. He assisted the commercial and Indus trial development of the country by the Improvement of economic society. He abolished the habit of respecting only officials and despising the people, and toned up the position of the business man. The Baron has come to America to see things. He said in Seattle that he considered one "seeing" better than 100 hearings."

TATKSTS Land-Office Lawyer Secures Intro duction of Law to Aid Settlers. Cancellation Withheld. A. W. Laffertji, land office attorney. who returned yesterday from Washing- on, D. C is quite confident that the Sileta settlers will receive patents to their claims within a few months. Final proofs were suspended, and patents to about lou of these claims have been held up from three to four years. Xfje purpose of Mr. Lafferty's visit to Wash ington was to expedite the issuance of patents to the settlers. Through Representative Hawley, I se cured the introduction of a bill in Con gress." said Mr. Lafferty yesterday, "pro viding that in the absence of any fraud, and where . no contest was filed within two years after the Siletz settlers sub mitted final proof, patents shall IsSue immediately on the enactment of this spe cial statute. The Secretary of the Inte rior now had under consideration about 17 of these same cases on appeal, and. with Rpresentatlve Hawley, I urged him to withhold any orders of cancellation until Congress has an opportunity to con sider the bill which has been presented. This bill would have been considered at the recent special session but for the fact that .the time was taken up en tirely In the consideration of the tariff question. It will be taken up at the reg ular session, and I feel confident that it will pass. It undoubtedly will receive the unanimous support of the Oregon delegation, three of the members of which already have assured me that they approve of its provisions."

Through advertisements, which are published broadcast, these dealers are represent ing to the homeseekers that the Gov ernment is about to conclude a suit against the Oregon & California Rail road Company and force that' corpora tion to sell to settlers at $2.50 an aero nearly 2.000,000 acres of land, readily worth $50 an acre. For the simple work of preparing an application for the purchase of a quarter section of this land these promoters are collecting from their victims a fee ranging from -50 to $100 for each quarter section of land so filed upon. "Tills proceeding is a gross fraud and I have called the attention of some Pof the Federal authorities to the prac tice," said Ml;. Lafferty. "For in stance, one of the dealers In his ad vertisement, after relating how it is possible for a homeseeker to Require 160 acres of $50-an-acre land for only $2.50 an acre, Incorporates this sen tence: 'Do you want to be made rich in a single day?' and then urges the reader to correspond with him at once. The truth of it Is that should the Government win its suit against the railroad company, the land can be sold only to the first actual settler, the man actually living on the land. Per sons who patronize those extravagant Eastern advertisers are being grafted and should receive some protection." Mr. Lafferty will go to Tacoma to morrow, where on Tuesday he will appear before Judge Donworth In the United States Circuit Court to resist the demurrer of the Oregon & Cali fornia Railroad Company attacking the bill, of complaint filed against that cor poration by Roy M. Minkler. This suit Involves the same Issues raised in the land-grant suit which was heard on demurrer to the complaint before United States Judge Wolverton In this city last Spring, and In which a de cision is still Rending. Minkler is su ing the railroad company to compel It to deed to him a tract of 80 acres lo cated In Clark County, Wash., for a consideration of $2.50 an acre, which, together with taxes, he has tendered the corporation.

SEATTLE, Sept. 4. Never outside ol Asia have so many Japanese been as sembled as were gathered In the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific grounds today to celebrate Japan day. Seven thou sand of the Emperor's subjects live In and near Seattle, and nearly all of them visited the fair at some time during the day. In the two parades, that through the city streets and the National Pageant through the fair grounds, the mixing of old and new Japan was somewhat Incongruous, but everything was pic turesque. The city parade was led by a mounted samurai warrior, in suit of mail and a white bandage about his head: and looking like a picture from the middle ages. Close upon his heels came dozens of automobiles, carrying dignified brown men wearing frock coats and high hats. The young women in automobiles that followed the com missioners were dressed and acted Ilka American girls. Many Speeches Exchanged. The Japanese are as fond of making and listening to speeches as the Amer icans are, and the commercial commis sioners spent nearly half the afternoon In the Exposition auditorium, ex changing expressions of good will with . their American hosts. Every speech English or Japanese, is translated. Baron Shibusawa, the principal speaker for the Japanese today, said: "Japan, during the last 60 years, has sent to America two Important diplomatic missions. The first in 1860. a large party of more than 60 men, met with a grand reoep- 1 tion which is still remembered In .Japan. The other, 1871, had more than 60 mem bers and also was warmly welcomed. ' The missions did much to promote good feeling and trade between the countries but the present occasion Is the first when. Japan has sent a strictly commercial dele gation to America. ' Commerce Basis of Intereet. "Whereas the two Important missions Just mentioned) were sent by the govern ment of Japan, the present one Is sent by the people and Its object is to complete ' and consolidate for all time the relations of good neighborhood and friendship so well promoted by the two political mis sions. Its object, to be more precise, is to lay the foundations of friendly rela tions between the two countries on the sure basis of commerce and mutual in terest. "Only four days have passed since our party arrived in Seattle, but we have received such universal marks of nood , will and courtesy toward us and our country on the part of the American peo ple of all classes that it seems as though the whole people of the United States had formed themselves Into a committee of reception. This convinces us that the mission is desired, not only by the Jap anese people, but by the whole people ot America." Too Much Entertainment. At 6 o'clock there was a speotaculur dis play of daylight fireworks in honor of the commissioners. Later they were enter tained at dinner in the Xew York build ing by citizens of Seattle. ' Afterwards they were guests of honor at a reception In the Washington state buildinir and at 10 o'clock, an elaborate iireworks display began, the most gorgeous feature of which depicted the fall of Port Arthur. The commissioners are anxious to Ket to their special train. Some of them com plain of too much entertainment and too little sleep FORMER P0RTLANDER DIES A Gustavo E.
