to meet In Portland In 1905:,
To the Officers and Members of the
Good Roads Association Gentlemen:
We respectfully Invite your association
' to hold Its annual meeting in the year
1905 at Portland, Or. In the summer
of thst year the Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial Exposition and Oriental fait
will be held at Portland. It is believed
that the exposition will attract large at
tention, not only throughout the United
Ststes, but also in foreign . countries,
wjmctaTIy-mose-6flhe Tfrlehtwlth
which our Pacific states have larsra and
constantly growing relations In com
merce. .
Wo expect the participation of the
United States In the exposition, and we
believe the occasion can be made one of
great advantage to your association and
of large advantage to its work.
Our Pacific states are 'paying much
attention to the subject which your as
ociation is organized to promote. The
city of . Portland and the directors of
the Lewis and Clark exposition will af
ford every possible facility for your
meeting and we cordially invite you to
"come and see us In 1906." Sincerely
yours, II. W. SCOTT,
President Lewis and Clark Centennial
Exposition. . .
President Roosevelt was called upon
at the White House by members of the
committee. The chief executive, In ex
pressing his great interest In the sub'
Ject of good roads, said:
"I -am sure ' I need not say how en
tirely I sympathise with the movement
that your are championing for .better
means of communication. The road Is
the symbol of civilization. Take our
great province of Alaska, I doubt If
there Is anything needed for the de
velopment pf Alaska on permanent lines
than the building up of a proper system
of roads, and, where it is Impossible to
make wagon roads, trails In Alaska.
Throughout 'our country, our citizens
will have to turn their energies to im
proving the means of Intercourse that
)s, the roads between community and
community, because we are a civilized
people and we cannot afford to have
barbaric methods of communication."

R. P. Boultbee Unaware That Swimming Pool
Is Drained, Leaps 15 Feet in Darkness Crush
ing His. Skull-Dies, at U:J5 a. m.
Diving headlong Into an' empty tank
In the Multnomah Athletic) club gym
nasium a short time after 8 o'clock last
night, J R. -P. Boultbee fractured his
skull. He died at Good Samaritan
hospital at 11:15 o'clock this morning.
An operation was performed yt? once.
Everj'thing that money, skill, surgery
and tender care can do was done to' save
his life, but there was no hope of his
recovery, ' .
-. Under the Impression that the tank
was full of water, Boultbee 'jumped
headlong from a springboard", a dis
tance of from 15 to 20 feet. There was
not more' than a foot of water In the
huge pool and the young athlete struck
on his head, which scraped along the
cement bottom, crushing the skull and
Injuring the brain. But for the prompt
assistance of Fire Chief Campbell, Harry
L. Corbett and Paul J. VlaL who were
present, be would have been drowned. ,
The Canadian Bank of commerce,
Boultbee's employer, pays the dues of
Its men at the club so that they may
take proper exercise. Boultbee, who" was
fond of athletics and a strong young
man. was very fond of the gymnastic
work. He was known as a splendid'
diver., last night he boxed with Chief
David Campbell of the fire department,
and Harry I Corbett .of the First Na
tional bank. The three men retired to
gether to the shower bath. The tank
is refilled each Tuesday, a fact which
all the members are supposed to know.
As it was shortly after t o'clock the
lights had not been turned on and the
tank was shrouded in darkness. Boult
bee ran suddenly out of the bath. Be
fore his companions could warn him
they heard tho crack of the springboard
as he dived Into the empty tank. He
described a curve high in the air and

OLIVE-DRAB UNIFORM
FOR STATE GUARDMEN
It Is the Intention of the Oregon
National Guard to equip its men with
the ollve-drab service uniform, adopted
by the United States army, and to
abolish the kahkl. The old-time blue
as in the regular army is to be retained
as the dress uniform.
The advantage of the new ollve-drab
cloth over kahkl as a service uniform
Is that it can be manufactured in either
woolen or cotton and worn in all sea
sons. Kahkl is adaptable to warm
climes only and Is utterly out of the
question when it comes to winter wear.
Adjt.-Gen. W. B. Finzer has received
several samples of cloth and bids from
uniform and cloth manufacturing
houses, and at a meeting of the state
military board to be held next Monday
the new uniform will be discussed. In
the neighborhood of 1,500 uniforms are
required to outfit the entire guard and
will mean the expenditure of about 112,-
ooo. At least two months will be re
quired to supply the clothing after the
order is placed.

That Edward G. Goble, the self-con
fessed house thief arrested by detectives
last week, is not the only burglar in the
city Is shown by the fact that other
houses are being; robbed. Two resi
dences were visited by night prowlers
last night hut the amount of property
stolen was not great ; ' ;
The thief who broke into the house
of James R. Hemsworth, 317 Stanton
street was evidently frightened away
before he completed his search.- Be se-
cured' entrance by prying up a front
window and then proceeded to hunt for
valuables. ; That money was his prime
object there la no doubt, for he pulled
out tho bureau drawers, ransacked the
closefs and even tore a bed to pieces,
thinking that coin was hidden in it He
also rumaged through a clothes basket
The articles taken by him : Include ' a
purse containing a number of old 'coins.
a case of silver spoons and a few of
Mr. Hemsworth's handkerchiefs and
socks. ,
Mr. and Mrs.. Hemsworth were absent
from borne during the evening and when
they returned shortly after 10 o'clock
they found everything turned upside
down. ' Tho cut glass and silverware on
the table was not taken, neither did. the
burglar find what money was in the
house. He had made his escape by a
side window, which was left open, and
from this fact it is thought that he was
frightened away by the return of the
occupants. " , ' .
During the afternoon a tough-looking
individual called St the house and Vio
lently attempted to open a door. Mrs.
Hemsworth was engaged at the time and
did not answer the summons and the
man finally went away. Whether he was
the thief On a tour of inspection is not
known.
A noiseless burglar ransacked the
realdcnco of Joseph Stampfer, propria'
tor of a meat market at Grand avenue
and East Morrison street between 11
o'clock last nlghl-lttt-noclock"this
morning, without awakening any of the
lumberers.
The Stampfer family lives at 485
Hawthorne avenue. The burglar first
tried to force the front door, but the
night latch was firm and he could not
unlock it Then he went to a rear door,
pushed the key out of the hole and with
a skeleton key turned back the lock.
Nearly every room in the residence
wss searched, but no one heard a sound.
All that the Intruder got for his pains
were a gold filled watch, a chain valued
at $7, a 14 locket a 15 fountain pea and
a small sum of money. . -
, During lils search the burglar went
Into the several bedrooms and looked
through the clothing of the sleepers
From the pockets he took what little
money he found and then the garments
were dropped' on the floor. None of the
clothes wss taken and ft valuable ring
on ft dresser was overlooked.
As a climax the bold thief carried ft
vest and a trunk to the back- yard
where the garment was rifled and the
trunk broken open. They were found
ttwre after the family woke up, which
was about 4 o'clock. The back door
was left open. The burglar left no clues
for the police. It Is believed .that the
thief was familiar with the premises.
Jewelry valued at $160 was stolen
from the home of W. Scott Ward, 290
Fourteenth street, Monday night Dur
ing the absence of the family before
9:10 o'clock In the evening, the thieves
ransacked the entire house. ' ' They got
in by prying open a door. The most
valuable article taken was a watch pre
sented to the young lady at ft baby show
15 years ago. They also got two long
watch chains, a gold ring and other
jewelry, besides a small sum of money,
From the telephone they stole $1.25.

weather .was experienced on , the voyage,

was 60 days In making the circuit of the
Horn, but after beginning the run up
the coast fair time was made. It re
quired 193 days to complete the entire
voyage. " ::. V :. ..jf'i .v.-.-v -v?' " v;:
While many gales were encountered
no accidents resulted and the bark sus
tained no damage. . The cargo arrived in
good shape. This is the third visit of
the captain to the Columbia river, and
he is fairly well acquainted in port.
Captain Rloux of the French bark Mar-
chal do Turenne, since his arrival ft few
days ago in the harbor, has established a
new ruling. With the exception of four
or five of his Intimate acquaintances he
will not allow any one to board his ves
sel. A guard is stationed at the gang
plank, and he waves a warning hand at
nearly every one who attempts to go
aboard, Several of the prominent ship
pers in the city have been forced to re
turn after reaching the dock-end of the
gangplank. .-....!
While some criticise the captain for
what they term his arbitrary action,
others say that he is acting quite right
In his defense it is said that he does not
know all who call upon him, and so far
as he Is aware a number of them might
be there on a mission that would bode no
good. It la intimated that some of his
visitors might be there for the purpose
of inducing his sailors to desert The

"A full paid fire department and a fire

In anticipation of the establishment

cipal features on this program of bet-

fire department The patterns are to be

The new hose wagon will undoubtedly
be constructed by a local firm. . It will
be provided with a 20-foot extension
ladder, which will measure only 11
feet in length when closed, and will
include such other up-to-date features
that are determined, for its efficient
service. The specifications provide for
the quality and kind of the wood, fit

Several of the flrehouses have ' al

which will now receive attention are

looked after. Eventually there must
be a number of new buildings erected
