CONVENTION
Its Importance to Oregon as an
Educational Institution.
"The Tavern," splendidly appointed j tion of the finest viands,
grill with a cuisine comparing with, if
not excelling, Delmonieo's, New ork.
Tait'a in San Francisco, or the Portland
'Rathskeller," was auspiciously opened
in the "Rose City" Monday night The
"Tavern" is owned by August KraU.
Centrally located, the new grill upon
its initial opening received not only the
patronage of the theater crowds but of
those returning to the city from the ex
position grounds and Manager Kratx is
to be felicitated over his first night's
business,
"The Tavern" is lavishly furnished. A
prominent Portland architect has sur
passed himself in designing the place
which is patterned after the early Dutch
taverns. A string orchestra was in at
tendance and to the delight of the guests
rendered an excellent program which in
cluded both popular and classical selec
tions. The instrumentation of this or
ganization is chosen in such manner as
to better equip it for the rendition of or
chestral compositions. A competent con
ductor is in charge.
There are two large entrances, the
main one being on Sixth street, between
Washington and Alder, and another, es
pecially for ladies and their escorts, or
Alder between Fifth and Sixth. The
two great grill rooms accommodate near
ly 400 people, and everything which can
contribute to the comfort of guests hag
been provided. The interior woodwork
and furniture is of weathered oak of mas
five design and appeals at once to the
artistic eye. Exposed beams lend the,
effect of immense site and antiquity to
the ceiling, while the walls are beauti
fully done in yellow and terra-cotta.
Shelves of rare plates and steins are ef
fectively used in the interior decorations
and the lighting effects are beautiful in
the extreme. There are hundreds of
chandeliers and candelabra reflecting soft
"The Tavern is conducted under the
management of its owner. August Krati,
who enjoys a wide reputation as a busi
ness man and a progressive caterer to
the public.
Special features of the service will De
af ter-theater suppers and the merchant's
luncheon, both of which will lie reason'
able in price and of the very highest or
der of the chef's art. Meals will be
served a la carte, with the exception 01
the merchants' lunch.

Where New Things Make Their Debut
WASHINGTON JOINS HANDS
The Benefits to be Derived From the
Building of the Dallea-Celilo Railroad
on the Commerce of the Columbia
River and the Two State.
The Seattle Tost Intelligencer is more
of a worker for the Comercial interests
of the Columbia river than is the Ore
gonian, the selfish interests characteristic
of the latter being eliminated by the
former. In discussing the good roads con
vention and the completion of the Dalles
Celilo road it says:
The executive committee of the Wash
ington Good Roads Association is to meet
in Portland on June 24, the last day of
the session of the national association at
that place. The Washington members
will certainly return from the convention
with enlarged ideas upon the subject if
the proposed programme is carried into
effect. It is the purpose, among other
things, to have practical demonstration
by engineers of national reputation and
yb exjiert road builders, of modern I
methods of road building, utilizing the
material likely to be nearest at hand and
best adapted to local conditions in each
locality. It is proposed further to formu
late the legislation which will be asked in
each of the states which will have repre
sentatives at the convention, with the
idea of having uniform state laws on the
subject.
The gospel of good roads is gaining con
verts every day, although there ia still
an enormous amount of inertia to be over
come before there will be any general re
form. Bad roads impose the heaviest
burden on the country producer which he
has to carry. Besides their cost to him
his tax payments are a trifle. Nor does
the city dwetler escape by any means.
Delivery of bulkey articles, at any dis
tance troin the railroad station, costs
him more by the ton than would pay for
hauling them by railroad a hundred
miles, and a large share of this extra
cost may bo fairly placed at the door ol
bad highways.
The last spike has been driven on the
Dalles-Celilo railroad, and a new route
has been opened on the Columbia for the
trade of the Inland Empire. It is now
possible for any company which can com
mand capital enough to purchase and
operate two steamboats one on the up
per and the other on the lower river
to compete with the railroads in carry
ing grain from Eastern Washington and
Eastern Oregon and in carrying return
merchandise into that region. To all in
tents and purposes there is the open
river, so long looked forward to, as a
corrector of railroad charges.
It is quite safe to say that the upen
river will not divert any large share of
business from the railroads. Tney will
meet any rates which may be made by
the water routes or a new chapter in
railroad history will have to be written.
for the railroads have always met water
competition elsewhere. Railroads still
carry much more of the freight down the
the steamboats and barges; the water
route simply regulating the railroad rate
automatically.
This will be the purpose of the new
route down the Columbia. It will find a
usiness in handling products grown in
the country immediately adjacent to the
rover, where there is the advantage of a
short haul to the river down grade, but
the railroads will handle the bulk of the
business of the country in the future, as
in the past.
As an automatic regulator of railroad
rates the open river will be more ef
fective agency than the railroad commis
sion ; and it will be worth to the states of
Oregon an 1 Washington a great deal for
this purpoi alone.
