! Was down there for the purpose of mak
Ins; arrangements to lay In a- lane sup-

to operate the boat
On account of high wages and a scar-
v city of labor, he says that wood has ad
Vanoed In price to such a degree that It
la becoming a very expensive article.
'''The advance, he says, may be the means
of forcing the owners to use oil as
fuel. He does not wish It to result In
this way, as he states the wood business
Is an Important Industry on Lewis River
,and he would not like to see it destroyed.
"Wood la now held at I2.S0 a cord. And
'all of It M pUed back from the Tlver

moved to tbO bank an additional cost of
K centa a cord would be entailed. This

Mr. Harrison returned home without let

PROMOTION COMMITTEE REEDED
The latest Issue of the Chamber of
Commerce Bulletin says:
- "lt has 'been suggested that a Promo
utioa; Committee in connection with the
, Chamber of Commerce might do oonstd
:, erable good' In the way of promoting
business for Portland. Oregon... The idea
baa been brought to the notloe of several
of the minor associations of our business
men, but they have not 'grown -enthusi-
jAetlo over It, simply because they are
retailers. And would not be benefitted -to
any great extent by any movement of the
.- Character described. The San Francisco
merchants have a Promotion Committee
, which periodically makes excursions on
. 'jk large scale to Interior points. Business
nen are thus, enabled to study conditions
K In their trade, and to meet their custom
: , era face to face. In Oregon the Interior
buyer ieldom xnitets the Portland jobber
-' unless he eomes to Portland. Promotion,
; as conducted by Ban Francisco, chiefly
. concerns the jobbing and mall-order
houses, and they, and not the retailers.
- should take the lead in Portland. A
: 1 considerable body of our business men

tee, make one trip down Western Oregon

Harry De Wind.' of the London Daily

Seattle a few days ago on the Alask

land trip made from Paris to. New York
to ascertain the possibility of a railroad
being- built along some feasible loutc.
The trans-Siberian railway waa left at
Irkutsk and the Journey from there to
Cape East, on Behring Bea, was one of
constant struggles with the rigorous Arc
tic weather. Before reaching the Behrltifr
Straits the party endured great hardship,
their food supply having: become exhaust
ed, and had they not encountered soma
American traders near the end of their
Journey they might have suffered sturva

Mr. De Wlndt is of the opinion that the
railway could be built but would follow
a route several hundred miles ' to the
south of the one he and his party took to
reach a section with more mineral re
sourocs. but difficulties would be en
countered in establishing frequent oonneo

CALLED DOWN
THE HOODLUMS
Edward Shields Administers a De
served Rebuke to a Number
of Smart Alecks.
Those who attended the show at
Shields' Park lust night will not soon
forget the occasion. The regular per
formers did their little stunts in their
usual acceptable manner, and were
worthy of the generous applause given
them. The crowd was extremely large
and people were content to sit anywhere,
even on the steps leading to the balcony.
The fact that it was "amateur night"
undoubtedly increased the attendance,
because the amateurs all have friend's
who were anxious to witness their debuts.
It Is the unexpected that always hap
pens, and for that reason the unexpected
is always Interesting. When the reg
ular bill was over Mr. Shields Introduced
his amateur performers. Their appear
ance was taken as an excuse for the
breaking forth of the rowdy spirit of a
number of young men with native-born
hoodlum Instincts. They discharged sal
lies of coarse wit, or what they Intended
for wit at the hew beginners.
The opening thus made 'afforded Mr.
Bhields the opportunity to defend his
proteges, which he did to the ' utmost
approval of that portion of the audience
which had the, instincts of polite breed
ing. "You fellows ought to be ashamed
of yourselves," said Mr. Shields, as he
sprang to ,the stage, his eyes flashing
with Indignation. Shaking his Anger ftt
the rowdies, he said: "I'll make a lot
of monkeys of you before you get
through." The audience enthusiastically
applauded. "You ought to be relegated
to a place among the animals in the City
Parky where you belo'ng, only It would
be urtjuet to the animals." More cheers
followed. Continuing, In a most sarcas
tic tone, Mr. Shields said, as an attempt
was again made '"to get funny," "When
you fellows leave the grounds don't at
tempt to pass through the gates. There's
a knot hole In the fence that is about
your proper lze."
The amateurs acquitted themselves
very creditably. They were 'Rantus Hot
foot and Mushy Bill, two young colored
meq who played a guitar duet accompa
nlment to their songs and were ap
plauded. Little Miss Parker sang "The
Honeysuckle and the Bee," Johnson
Never-Eat did a clever turn, as did also
Ralph Hurlburt, Sallle Oyster Pattle and
Initial Emerson, Master Hurlburt, known
as "the. drummer boy of Sunnyside," Is
the handiest lad with the drum sticks
that resides in Portland, and the bright
little fellow deserves all the praise that
can be given him, since he never re
ceived any instruction.
The bill next week will be better than
ever.

SHORT TAUCS ON V
AMERICA'S HIOHEST
QRAOB PIANO?
The Weber
It is sot necessary to area
, the question of merit wtaea
Weber pianos are) concerned. ' v
Every person who 1 ac
quainted with, the history of
pianos knows that the word
"Weber" stands for all that
Is best In piano construction.
Those who are not acquaint
ed with pianos simply need te
investgate the distinguishing
qualiUes- of Weber Instru :
menu to be convinced beyond 1
a doubt that the Weber is the
f musical standard of the world.
For over 50 years It' has
stood absolutely alone In the
possession of that pure, rich
and -sympathetic quality of
tone, and today it Is a finer,
better piano than ever before.
The Weber Is as beautiful,
as perfect an Instrument as It .
Is possible to produce, and Its
wonderful wearing qualities
make it a valuable asset after
many years' use, when most
other Instruments are practi
cally worthless.
Besides the regular cata
logue styles we are showing
Just now several of the fam
ous Weber art styles-Miew
and chaste designs. In grand
and upright cases, In all va
rieties of beautiful woods.
These artistic productions are
creating unusual interest In
art circles, and, combined
with the wonderful Weber
tone, make an Ideal combi
nation. This piano, . of course, like
other high-grade Instruments,
