some anxiety to the Lewis and Clark
Fair directorate. This evening there

gation at Sulem. when the bill will be

passage will be In order. Afterwards It
can be recommitted for engrossments. If

The memory of J,ohn Thomas and his consumptive cows hns not
passed from the minds of Portlanders. Mr. Thomas In the gentleman
Who said that he would be glad to sell out and s;et out of America. This
genial and patriotic citizen was ' supported in his stand by the evening sup
plement of the local newspaper trust. Last Saturday the trust supple
ment, in a moment of levity over the selling of one of Mr. Thomas cows,
caused to be published an article favoring consumptive beef and dealing
with John Thomas' delinquencies in such a truly humorous vein tlmt
even Mark Twain Is put in the shade, and recollections of Dickens flut
ter through the average brain. However, the trust tips Its hand and stands

trust's article, so judge for yourselves:

FAIR WORKERS HUSTLING.
The Lewis and Clark Fair board of di
rectors are after the appropriations from
the other 'Mates in earnest. Even Ha
waii has been gone after. A letter to
Governor Dole was sent this morning,
explaining to him the objects of the
1905 Fair and requesting him to include
a recommendation for an appropriation
for the Lewis and Clark Fair in his mes
sage to the Hawaiian Legislature, which
commences its session on February IS.
Another state to be recokned with for
an appropriation Is North Dakota. This
morning a telegram was sent to Special
Commissioner Mclsaac ordering him to
proceed to .Ismarck as soon as tie com
pletes his work In Helena. Mr. Mctsaac
Is at present at Salt Lake City. 1'tali.
Here he will endeavor to remedy the de
fect in the report of 1'tah's commission
ers of the Lewis and Clark Fair tthe
Legislature. In this report the commis
sioners recommend that $10,000 be ap
propriated for the Fair. This is consid
ered too small a sum. It Is thought
that an appropriation of $50,000 from
I'tah would not be too high. By the
time Mr. Mclsaac completes his labors in
I'tah, Montana and North Dakota, lie
will be ready to go to Washington and
then to British Columbia. He will then
return to Portland, but may start out
again on a second tourn.
J TEXAS EXHIBIT.
A letter has been sent to C. H. Mar
quam, of Houston, Tex., by Secretary
Reed, of the Lew s and Clark Fair, re
questing him to do his best and obtain
an exhibit from Texas. Mr. Marquam
wH formerly located In Portland as gen
eral freight and passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific Railroad. By an act of
its Legislature the State of Texas Is not
allowed to make an appropriation for an
exhibit at any fajr. There is. however,
a collective exhibit In charge of S. F. B.
Morse, of the Southern Pacific, which the
directors of the Fair wuld like to have
here in 1905.'
a. strong case can be made against him.
Karly this morning the missing girl
wa.s found. In a pitiful plight, without
friends and among strangers she told
her story to the officers. Miss lirown
alleged she had been forcibly taken pos
session of by the conductor, who took
her first to a hotel and later to a lodging
house, where he kept her for three days.
After she had ben deserted by her ad
ductor the girl feared to go home and
tell her parents, and obtained work as
a domestic.

THE SICK COW.
from the fate of a cow "belonging
to Mr. Young, a logger, on the
East Side. This bovine had been
purchased from John Thomas, a
ilalrymsn of Kalrview, whose cat
tle were jrftorwards condemned
by the state veterinarian. She
was fat and sleek and her milk
was of splendid quality, but she
had a hacking cough and on in
spection by t,he state veterinarian

from consumption. She was
turned oyer to Frazler & McLean,
the livery stable men of this city,
who disposed of the animal to an
East Side butcher, corner of
Grand avenue and East Morrison
street, for $20. Mrs. Young said
yesterday that their family had
probably eaten a portion of the
beef. The original cost of the
cow was 155. and the family was
never so satisfied with a cow be
fore, but when the papers came
out with the news of John Thom
as' cattle being afflicted with con
sumption, the milk, though It
were ever so rich, lost its charms
and became an object of loathing.
So much, for the effect of the
Imagination In regard to what
people eat and drink. As the
beef was not suspected of tuber
culosis when It reached the tables
of the customers, it probably
proved succulent and nourishing.

SCOTT LIKELY
TO ATTEMPT TO
WIN THE PRIZE
Fulton in the Lead as Yet But Issue
Uncertain New Charter to
Be Rushed Through-
(Journal Special Service.)
S Al.K.M. Jan. lit. The Ilrst gun in the
Senatorial battle will be fired tomorrow.
As to the Mitii,,le all are guessing.
The clii. f topic of speculation relative
to the Senatorial mutter is llieprobalileat
1 1 tilde of the .Multnomah delegation, which
will hold a conference tonight for the
purpose or agreeing, if possible, upon
t-ome candidate. It is not (jprtuin that
absolute hainiony will relsn In the dele
gation, for. though it Is being predicted
that the Multnomah memliers will voir
as a unit, there air strong reasons to
doubt this. The only' thing reasonably
certain is that all. or nearly all. of the
delegation Wj Votr fur some Multnomah
man.
The tirst ballot, which will be taken
at noon, both houses sitting separately,
is not likely to he rnurlrof an indication
of their real attitude. Active work Im
being dour on ljml f of Harvey Scott,
who has some strength In the Multno
mah delegation, but It is doubtful If the
editor -m venture to show his hand In
tlie early stages or the light. The main
effort Is to keep Fulton, who Is undoubt
edly in the lead, from doing any prose
lyting. Scott R hope lies ill disintegra
tion of the forces of Fulton and Weer.
The presentation of the editor's name
as a serious candidate Is certain to
arouse strong opposition, and the mana
gers of Ills tight are evidently nnxlous
to keep liiim In the running merely as a
dark horse until the present leaders be
gin to lose ground.
A waiting game is clearly Scott's only
chance.
Several prominent Republicans of
Multnomah County are being talked of
ns likely to receive votes from that dele
gation. Jonathan Hourne's strength Is prob
lematical, and he. like Scott, may de
cline to show his hand at the outset.
Judge M. It. George. School Director Wil
liams, and Kenton, the railroad attorney.
all have been mentioned lis likely to
receive some votes from Multnomah.
Charter Meets Ho Opposition.
The Legislature reconvened at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. The matter of greatest
immediate interest to both houses was
the appointment of standing commit
tees. Many members who have bills to
introduce have been waiting to have
personal committees in order to determ
ine what reference to ask for their
bills. The committees already have a
great amount of work on their hands,
about I7.r hills having been presented in
tlie two houses.
Portland's new city charter will he
presented as soon as possible for the
second passage, the enacting clause hav
ing been amended to correct the defects
in the original measure. It Is expected
to hicct with no opposition.
The great majority of other bills in
troduced last week have to be similarly
altered, but this Is to be done by amend
ment in committee. Portland's charter
is the only measure which has passed

public trade and prohibited by the laws of the State of Illinois.
Included among those indicted are such prominent financiers as Walter

An effort will lie made in the House
to pass a resolution to employ extra

will provide for one for each member,
as was done In the Senate. There Is
certain to lie strong' opposition to it.
as many members have declared their
determination to insist upon the ob
servation of the Kuykendall law. Shel

work to prevent the passage of the reso
