URGE ONE BUILDING,
Oregon Men Want United Northwest
at Jamestown Exposition.
Portland, Oot, 10 A movement for
a Joint Northwest building at the
Jamestown Tercentennial exposition
was launched at a recent meeting of tho
Oregon Jamestown Exposition commit.
toe at tho Portland Oommernlal club,
President Jefforson Myers and Secre
tary, John II. fllevonsonn, of tho con
mission, wore directed to write an ofll.
olal letter to the governors of Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana, notifying
them of the attitudo of tho Oregon
commission, and asking them to take
action In their ofllcial capacities to
tiring about participation In tho plan
on uio part oi tlieir reepetivo states.
Til plan is concolved by tho On-con
commission is for joint action on tho
part of tho four Northwestern states in
the erection of one magnificent oxhlblts
and headquarters structure, in which
each stato shall have a department of
its on, tuo ox pen ao to bo borno equal
ly by the sovoral states. It was point
ed out at the commission' eoaaion that
such co-oporatlvo action would have
tho effect of Impreesing tho East with
tho unity of Northwest interests and of
exerting both a political and commer
cial Inslgiiiflcanco. It also eoemed an
parent that with the combined capital
of tho four states a building of such
imposing size and beauty could bo
erected that It could not fall to attract
wide attention, whllo a building by
any one of tho states, singly, could not
hftvo this oiled, and, bosides, joint ac
tion could reduce the expense ot put
ting up individual buildings.
Presldont Myors was authorized to go
to tho scone of tho exposition and ne
gotiate for a slto for an Oregon build
ing, In tho event it is desired to erect
ono, and also keep in mind the possi
bility of a joint state building. He
will dofor his departure for the East
until he has bad timo to hear from the
governors of the Northwest states on
the plan suggested. In the event ihe
other states do not show a disposition
to adopt tbo plan proposed, this will
not bo allowed to Interfere in any do-
grco with Oregon's p'an to mako an ex
hibit, should the legislature warrant it.
Upon his return from the East Pres
ident Myors will mako a report to tho
commission, and Governor Chamber-
ain on tho result uf his investigations,
and this report, setting fortli in detail
tho coat nf making an exhibit and tho
facilities for erecting a building and
installing nn exhibit, when delivered,
will bo used as the basis for appearing
before the legislature to ask such an
appropriation as shall bo nccceeary to
make a credltablo showing.
FARMERS MUST DRAIN.
Department of Agriculture Issues Bul
letin of Instruction.
Washington, Oct. 10. For tho guid
ance of the great numberof people from
humid rogions who sottlo on the im
mense areas of Western lands opened to
settlement, tho Department of Agricul
ture has issued a report on "Practical
Information for Beginners in Irrigation."
Thero aro several million acres open
for settlement in tbo United States,
and irrigation works built by private
enterprise and works being constructed
by tbo national government will pro
vide a wator supply for more than 1,'
000,000 acres of arid lands. The 70
port discusses arid soils and water sup
plies generally and describes bow to
locate and build farm ditcher, prepare
land to receive water, irrigate staple
crops and how mncli water to apply.
"Experience throughout the arid re
gion," the report says, "Is demon
strating that the greatest danger to Irri
gated lands is lack of drainage. Water
applied to crops ralaoa the ground wa
tor. which brings with it tho salts (lis
solved from the soil; capillarity brings
thlB wator to the surface, where it
evaporates, and tho salts accumulate
until all vegetation is destroyed. Tho
only insurance against this Is proper
drainage, but anything like economy in
tho uao of wator and thorough cultiva
tion, which will check tho rise of
ground water or lesson evaporation,
will decreaeo tho danger."

ONE MORE CHANCE
Annexation Sure to Follow Noxt
Failure ot Cuba.
SELF GOVERNMENT IMPOSSIBLE
Sugar and Tobacco Men Will Object
to, Free Competition, But It
Must Come.
Washington, Oct, 10. Republican
senators and congressmen who have
been in Washington recently and ofll
cials closolv identified with tbo admin
istration agree with the president that
Cuba shall have another opportunity to
try self government, but tho opinion is
almost universal that annexation is
only a matter of time. Little is being
said publicly about the probability of
annexing Cuba to the United States,
but tho subject is receiving a great deal
of atlontion in Washington and public
men aro BerlouBly diccussing the beet
method of bringing tho island under
tho protecting arm of tho United States.
President Roosevolt Ib absolutely, sin-
cero in his declaration against tho
present annexation of Cuba and bo has
hopes that the Cuban people, on tbicr
second attempt, will be able to form
and maintain a Batiefactory govern
ment. Ho does not want the island
mado a part of the United States if, by
any possibility, the Cubans can con
duct their own affairs and protect the
lives and property of all their citizens.
Ho does not believe that tbo United
States at this time would bo justified
in taking over the island, morely be
cause vast amounts of American capital
havo been invested. But if tho words
of othor administration officials can bo
held to bo authoritative, it is to be in
let red that tbo president will intorposo
no further objection to annexation in
case tbo second Cuban government is a
failure.
While annexation is generally ex
pected, no ono looka forward to it with
enthusiasm. Rather, tbo Cuban prob
lem is regarded in the light of one oi
tho unpleasant outgrowths of the Span
ieli war, an perpleing in some icspects
as the Philippine question. 8outbern
men would like to see Cuba made
Amorican territory, but they want the
tariff wall kept up against Cuban sugar
and tobacco, and some bar erected
against tho immigration of native Cu
bans into the Unite States. The South
haB moro than ita share of duBky citizens.
It is probable that the men in con
gress who are fighting a reduction of
the duty on Philippino eugar and to
bacco would join the South in demand
ing the retention of the tariff on sugar
and tobacco from Cuba in cbbo of an
nexation. If Philippino sugar is a
menace to tho beet eugar industry of
tbo West, it will be argued that the
Bugar from Cuba, closer and much moro
abundant, would bo a Btill greater
menace.
STORM SPOILS BANANAS.
Hurricane Sweeps Through Central
America, Wasting 81,000,000.
New Orleans, Oct. 10, Damages of
fully $1,000,000, including tbo partial
demolition of one town, was dono by
the hurricane on the coast of Central
America which was reported by a brief
wireleBB me;sage received hero last
night. WlrelesH and cable advices to
day to the United States Fruit company
say that probably no loan of life oc
curred.
Tho hurricane appeared to be central
near Bluofields, on the east coast of
Nicaragua. It swept in from the sea,
its first fury striking Little and.Great
Corn iBlandB, which were swept bare
of vegetation aud their topography
even altered by tho waves. On the
mainland the storm's damage was con
fined mostly to a path about SO miles
wide, in which banana and rubber
cropa were doatroyed and plantations
blown down. Great damage la report
ed from Rama, a town on the coast
about 40 miioB from Bluefields.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis Dying.
New York, Oct. 10. Mrs. Jeffereon
Davis, widow of the president of the
Confederato states, is dying of pneu
monia at tho Hotel MajeBtio here. It

boen ill for eevoral dava, but it had
been believed ahe would recover up to

NEXT POPE NOT A SAINT1.
Trial of New York Central.
New York, Oct. 10. Tho trial of the
New York Oontral Railroad company

eomo $20,000 to tho Amorican Sugar
Refining company on sugar shipments

Army in Cuba Given Name,
Washington, Oot. 10. Brigadier
General Barry, acting chief of staff, to
day Issued a general order by direction
of the president stating that the mili
tary force now assembled in Cuba or
to be assembled there are constituted
an army to be known as the Array of
Cuban Pacification,
Need of a Palltlclan at the Vatican is
Widely Recognized.
Rome, Oct. 10. In spite of the fact
that the pope is enjoying perfect
health, the matter of possible results
of the next conclave, whenever It does
occur, is being discussed among the
cardinals, find this with no desire to
anticipate the election or to bo disre
spectful to the pontiff. The feeling
among tho cardinals has changed great
ly dlnco August, 1003, and today there
exists a tendoncy quite opposite to that
which triumphed three years ago. In
view of the Vatican's experiences with
Franco, the cry this time will be not
for a merely religious popo, but a po
litical pope; not for a saint, but for a
statesman.
Even the strongest opponents of
throe years ago of Cardinal Rampolia
now favor his election. Rampolia
failed in 1003 chiefly because he was
vetoed by Cardinal Puzyna, in the
nanio of Austria, speaking for the en
tire Triple Alliance.
Although Pope PIub has suppressed
tho right of veto nbroagted by certain
powers, the reason which Induced tho
Triple Alliance to oppose Cardinal
Rampolia still exist, and the church
today is less ablo to afford displeasing
tho Central Empire. Consequently
thero aro rumors ol an experiment with
a foreign pope, in spite of the disfavor
of the Italians. For the last four cen
turies all the popes have been Italians.

BIG GUNS NEEDED.
General Wood Also Wants Cavalry
Sent to Philippines.
Wahington, Oct. 10. An argument
against the reduction in the number of
troops in, the Philippines is made by
Major General Leonard Wood, com-
manding that division, in hie annual
report. The total garrision, on June
30 last, numbered 20,043 men.
"We are far from home,", eays Gen
eral Wood, "and in cee of foreign dis
turbances, even with all onr troops
concentrated at Manila, the force avail
able would be Bcarecly sufficient to de
fend it from a serious attack. More
over, a atrnng garrison should bo .main
tained here nntil conditionnB pertain
ing to the civil government are well es
tablished and the animosities and dis
appointments incident to the building
up of a local government under new
and perhaps strained conditions have
passed away."
General Wocd suggests adding some
artillery to the present garrison and
sending to the Philippines one squad
ron of each of the cavarly regiments in
the United States.

of the country. It Is estimated that tho natives of the Klkuyu country number

Arch of Trajan.
Triumphal arches were among the
most peculiar forms of art which the
Romans borrowed from those around
them, and used with that strange mix
ture of splendor and bad taste which
characterizes all their works.
These were in the first instance no
doubt borrowed from the Etruscans, as
was also tho ceremony of the triumph
with which they were ultimately asso
ciated. At first they seem rather to
have been used as festal entrances to
the great public roads, whose construc
tion was considered as ono of the most

important benefits a ruler could confer
on his country. There was ono erected
at Hlmlnl In houor of an important
restoration of tho Flamlnlnn Way by
Augustus; another at Susa In Pied

tho same Emperor. Trajan built ono
on tho pier at Ancona, when ho re
stored thnt harbor, and nnother ut

Appla, represented In tho woodcut hero

as well as most graceful of Us class lu

at Athens, and another built by him at
Antlnoo In Egypt, wero monuments
merely commemorative of tbo benefits
which he hnd conferred on those cities
by tbo architectural works ho had
ejected within tholr walls. By far tho
most Important application of theso
gateways, In Rome at least, was to
commemorate a triumph which may
have passed along the road over which
the arch was erected beforehand, for
the triumphal procession to pasa
through, of which It would remain a
memorial. ,
