Portland and the Lewis and Clark ex position? These questions are being: asked by .:, Portlanders. The best authorities for : answers are the visitors themselves. . A composite opinion of all the 8,000 . . guests In Portland shows . that ' they have been gloriously Satisfied with the conventions,- their treatment at the hands of Portland's citizens, the great riess of the state of Oregon and the ' outlook for the 1905 fair. Great results are expected from the ; advertising which has been, done this .week for the fair. -' , . . . . , . Ea-Presldent Springer's views. Ex-President John W. Springer, for seven--years the leader and, together v. with Jerry Simpson, the wit of the Na ': tlonal Livestock ' association, epigram matlcally summed up the. matter to The Journal last evening. He said: "Every delegate will go home a walk : lng advertisement for the Lewis and Clark fair." said he. "'We have had it Sred at us with broadside volleys, and i we admire your big guns and the wiy you do It. Keep them loaded and tho . , exposition will get plenty of advents " ! ing. "... -: , v i ;.; ;v .!.,,.., ;,. , 'The event will be certainly a great one for Oregon. The whole nation is awakening to the desirability of cele brating the discovery and acquisition of this magnificent country. Pleased With Portland . Hotels. ' ? About -hotels and accommodations? Let me say that there has not been one kick of any description concerning Port land's hotels no one. It has never happened before at any other conven tion. There has not been the slightest hint of a holdup by those controlling accommodations here- this week. Rates have been reasonable and. as I said, not an objection has been raised. . "There Is no "reason, that I can see," he continued, "why Portland should not be able to handle all the people who will attend the fair in 1905. . This city has, at present, as good and ample hotel ac commodations any city its . slse west of St Louis. With the expected growth during the next year you will . be fixed for the crowd. While I'm talk ing, let me menttjm the revelation ; which I think this convention was to , Portland and. Indeed, to the rest of us. No abler addresses on the subjects have ever been prepared and delivered than those listened to this - week.. The speeches made by Judge Cotton Presl ' dent Stubbs and Governor ' Wells ; of ' Utah would grace the floor of the United , States senate. The audiences have been very attentive and appreciative of , the s programs. They have seemed to realise . that , they were . listening ';. to great , things.- . .i, Secretary Vartla oa the Fair. ' Secretary Charles F. Martin, nerhana 'the busiest man in Portland during this week, found time to speak a favorable .word for the 1905 fair, last evening: ' )"'here is i nothing too good to say about the prospects' for the Lewis and Clark exposition," said he. with en thusiasm. "I can say that the live stock delegates are Jretty - well per meated with the Idea of the fair, and cannot help exuding a sort of Lewis and Clark atmosphere wherever - they go. I : am Impressed - with- the impor tance of the celebration personally, and shall never let slip an opportunity to ssy a - good word for the - event. . It should be a great summer for Oregon In 1905. What the livestock association can do for Portland between 'now and the opening of the fair, it can and will do, and with enthusiasm." ' Jerry Simpson lit tine. From the lips of the sage and wit of the convention, the Right Hon. Jere miah Simpson of New Mexico, came ad ditional approving - words of the cen tennial,...' . , . "You can, "say as many good things as you can about that 1905 fair and then " you haven't' said half enough," said he with a confirmatory grin, "The whole nation,, he added with an oratorical sweep of his aims, "is going to Join Heart ana body with Oregon to com memorale that great occasion when Colonel Lewis and Captain Clark ex plored this magnificent country and opened it to , the white man. To see these magnificent stretches of 5 incom parable valleys, the forests and moun tains, the rich cities and the modern at tainments of the Northwest, and then to declare the object of the. 1905 fair an unworiny or unimportant one, is trea son! v i am a saturated ; westerner more saturated than ever since coming to Oregon, and not altogether with Oregon mist, eitherand the great West is the land of my heart. Your celebration here next year should and will be a suc cess, I heartily indorse every phase of u ana want you to secure the appropria tion you are after." Mr. Simpson added his unqualified expressions of delight at the manner of entertainment in Port land. , . , , - Mote Indorsements. Jonathan Heaton of i Kin county. Utah, spoke of Utah's part In the cele bration of the 1905 exposition He said his people felt a neighborly interest in Oregon's proceedings and a real manl f estation of the state's Interest would be made at the western world's fair. . Heber J. Meeks, also of Utah, co lnclded enthusiastically with all favor awe v.iewaof -the-falr. Theodore ' X. Jones, manager of the El Paso, Tex., stockyards, declared that Portland could take care of an exposl tion crowd as easily as she could a con vention crowd. "And the fair is at tracting great attention in Texas," be said. f ? :- - r::- - George S. Hickox, not a delegate,-but government inspector of livestock In the North westi has -been an attentive lis tener during convention week. -"Port land needn't worry.v. but must work,' said he. ' "There .is no doubt of the ability to carry on a big exposition here, and the way you have started out indi cates success in every particular." v C. II. Bean, livestock agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad, ; said: "The railroads are In line for it and will cer tainly help. Colorado will be right along In front, too." . ' ; . G. P. Robinson, 'manager of the Pueblo, ' Colo., - stockyards, was glad .to add an enthusiastic and optimistic opin ion on the fair. He was in favor of making livestock a leading feature of the exposition. diV a. Dr. J. E. Stubbs, president of Nevada state university, stated that the expo sition would certainly be a grand oppor tunity for the United States to do honor to the heroism, valor and great states manship which gave the Oregon terri tory to this country. "It can't be too broad In its scope," said Dr. Stubbs, because Oregon and the West contains almost everything to be found under the sun." ' ': . : Governor Heber M. Wells, the popular young chief executive of Utah, is In favor of every measure likely to en hance" the success of th8 Lewis and Clark centennial. "Put me in line and up among the front people," said he. Say all the nice things about the fair and Ongon you can think of and. at tribute them to me.' . ; "BRICK" JOHNSON TRIED TO SHOOT , (Journal Special Berrice.) - . ' . : Helena, Mont., Jan. IS. A ' Billings special today says: v Sheriff Shackel ford of Oregon left today on the west bound train with "Brick" Johnson, who is -wanted in that state for attempted murder. It appears that while under the influence of liquor, Johnson created quite a disturbance at Enterprise, Or., and when an officer was sent to quiet him he began to shoot. It was on this account he was indicted. , -. The sheriff says Johnson' Is not so bad as painted, and comes of a very re spectable family, and that hs was in dicted simply because the court wishes to break up the habit, too largely in vogue in many western cities; of people carrying and using firearms on the slightest provocation. rZBS COkCPASTT'S CX&ZVBATZOH.

With the death of Judge Springer we are left without Such rep resentation, and there are many laws and resolutions that must be prepared carefully and correctly. We do not want to have to do our work over for lack of legal knowledge, and strong, Indeed, the strongest, legal talent must soon be secured. . - .

I have gone to Washington sev eral times in a time of crisis, and have always found our Western representa tives willing to do all In their power to honestly aid us. We do nq need a lobby; we need only concerted action and sane requests. "On the question of forestry, we will carry out the general plan of working with, rather than against,, the govern ment. We will endeavor to show what Is useless in the plans of the govern ment, will consent to what is evidently Just and' r nable, and will by evi dence con the federal authorities that certain things are injurious. We, in short,-will, where possible, guide the government action, rather than fight 1U Proposes a Stock Census. There is one very Important matter that will be taken up in the near future and that is a classified census of the stock industry and agricultural prod ucts. You know the cotton census is taken each year for the benefit of the cotton growers. ' The - value of cotton produced last year In the United States was $3,707,000, and the cost of taking the census was II for each $3,707 worth of cotton 'crop. The livestock industry has invested $$,000,000,000. the value of by-products of this industry and the amount Invested is $1,500,000; the value of staple farm crops is $2,600,000,000, an aggregate of $7,000,000,000, and not a shadow of a census is annually taken for the purpose of trade. ' - "We insist, and all must admit, that the cotton census only affects, or even interests, a small portion of the coun try, and a limited, a very limited, num ber of producers, while the stock and agricultural products vitally affect every square inch of the entire nation. The cost of the proposed census would ' be about $1,600,000 annually, or a cost of $1 for each $3,848 annually produced. considerably less than the cotton, cen bus in proportion to its value. Great Xmportanea of Census. "This census is absolutely needed to tell 'the stdekmen and farmers of the country whethec prices are the result of supply and demand or the result of corporation manipulation. Wet also would state that while you can get an exact estimate of the cotton production by the amount shipped each year, you can not do this with either sfock or farm products. We will have a suitable law drawn up, and will present it at the next session of congress, asking that such a census as above outlined be taken each year. ' "Another matter that will require our lmedlate attention Is the amendment of the Grpsvenor mixed-goods bill. This bill provides that every suit of clothes sold shall bear a tag telling whether it contains shoddy, or cotton, or is all wool. - The bill was introduced at our request, but later was found to be likely to work an unnecessary hardship on the wool manufacturer, without doing us a particle of good, so at our request it was held up and is stilt in the hands of the house committee, waiting amend ment that will make it a wise measure. We will confer with the wool manufac turers and will so change the measure that all parties will be benefited. This is to be our future course from now on. and conference, not battle, should be our motto. , WUI Use Corporation Methods. "There Is Just one thing more con cerning our future plans. We will begin to adopt the methods used by all suc cessful corporations, as far as organiza tion Is concerned. For Instance, our freight rater and similar questions will be taken up by a-bureau of transporta tion, which, shall have our best men on It In the past all this work has been generalised, and has been done any old way. - From now on we will centralise, or ganise 1 and localise power under these bu- reauswhlch will have only their own. work to do, which will only be composed of mien expert in 'the work of the bureau, and which will proceed, backed by the entire association. We are not incorpor ated, but we must , use the business methods that always govern1 large bod ies of interested . men and work, work, work, must be our notto. Work that is not haphasard, not disconnected, not by chance, but wisely planned, care fully executed and' unremittingly car ried out." , r -'John W. Springer of Denver, In com menting on the addressof W. W. Cotton of Portland, on the relations of trans portation companies and the livestock Industry said: v , 'The argument presented was' very good, and the suggestions made for re moving some of the difficulties under which the stockmen are now laboring were liberal. ; While It is true that the railroads are put' to more expense and take more risk in the hauling of live stock than they do in handling' some other class of freight. ' it Is true also of dollars each. year. The rail roads whavo always bad for the stock men many promises for-, the future. These ithey have been slow to meet. It has oOst the stockmen the' great bulk of their profits' paying freight 'to the railroad companies. .,:.::. . "The railroad companies have discrim inated against stockmen In the hauling of both meat' and cattle on , the hoof. They have played Into the bands of the packers' trust; have given them a re bate, on all shipments, which froze out the independent shipper. "The stockman' la built on a broad gauge plan and only wants 'what is Just. lie wants to live and help others to live. Rather than' to, squabble he will stand more or less imposition. He figures that he is getting the worst of it rrom . tne railroads, wnicn. nave in i many Instances decided on a petit lar-1 ceny treatment of stock shippers. One act is the refusal to give a shipper transportation to his home, after he has shipped probably a train load of cattle and paid the company thousands of dol lars. ' "Unless some- fair concessions are made the stockman will, go into every legislature; west of the Mississippi and secure the passage of laws which will force the transportation : companies to oome to terms. The railroads are reg ulated in Texas and can be regulated in other states. The stockmen have It in their power tO'get .what they want and will have It before they get through. They don't care a snan about the wealth of Vanderbllt, Oould, Rockefeller, Hill or any other magnate. I don't think that - the railroads or their-owners are the whole United States and should be permitted to do as they please for their own profit as against the prosperity of tha masses." . . ..

Why Wot So Xt Themselves. W. C. Seacbrest. North Pacific, coast agent of the New York Central lines, said today in speaking of the brokerage question: - ' 1 -"The railroads can drive out the ticket brokers in a year if they want to. Tha trouble is that some roads cater to and do business through the broker. The return trip ticket is the thing that aids the broker to live, and it is the only thing that really supports him. , How Xt Can Be Dona. "Issue a mileage book good for one fare, Pullman and dining car privileges, and make this at the lowest mileage point Make such a book good on every road in the United States and sell It for 600, 1.000 or 10,000 miles, as the pur chaser desires. Then, and this Is the Important part, allow the purchaser, or anyone else, to return unused mileage coupons and secure cash for them. This would do away with the return ticket business and would stop ticket peddling, for the passenger could get full value for any part of his unused coupon book. Make the mileage book good for travel direct without bothering about exchanging it for a ticket, as the scrip system compels the traveler to do. "Railroad men know they can stop the brokers' work, by such a measure and most of them are willing to adopt the plan, but a few roads persist in favoring the broker and refuse to do anything against him. NEED THE MONEY ' FOR PUBLICATIONS One of the reasons why the proposed pleasure excursions for the entertain ment of the delegates and visitors was abandoned was thus explained by retlr Ing President Springer of the National Livestock association: "It was concluded that It would be wiser to expend our money for the publication of the proceedings and other necessary expenses of this convention. Much as. we would -have liked to have made the Columbia river trip in a body or to have taken the trip to Astoria, we concluded to forego them." Despite this announcement.
