1 .Early; Trips, When Portland Was
Not the Metropolitan City That She
la at the Present Time.
1 Thirty-two visits to Portland In J
years has convinced Martin Conrad, ot
Chicago, who la at tbe Portland hotel,
,,' that If ha were to change his realdenee
"ha would bacoma Portlander. Mr.
' Conrad Is one of the oldaat men in point
pf years and the young-ret men In point
of activity of all the men who Journey
" to the Pacific coast from, the east. He
" U ' full of anecdotes and atoriea of
' early Portland as the oldest inhabitant
and can relate with glee the discom
forts of travel in this country when he
' paid J60 to travel from Sun Francisco
to the Rose City. i,
"Why," aatd Mr.-Conrad. "I cams to
Portland for 11 years without being
' Able to see Mount Hood. Just think
. of that. Every time I arrived here It
. wsa in the rainy season and I would
-.- have to Journey back to. Chicago dis
appointed in not seelnr one of the
greatest of nature's marvels. But when
.1 was at last rewarded for my -vigilance
I was not dlaappOlnted and gased with
greater enthusiasm upon 'the 'mountain
' wonder than I probably would had I
seen Mount Hood upon my first trip.
But Mount Hood wss not the only
interesting thing thst I remember, and
I wsntT'to say right her that If I
were to change my residence and I say
this without diaparaglng the wonderful
climate of southern California snd other
places In the United 8tates I would
come to Portland and be a Web foot.
"Why. I remember when I used to stop
' t the old Esmond house- that the rains
' were njr chief source of comfort.
". ,. .. Hovel Stsam Seat.. '
v "The rains would beat . through and
? our rooms would be soaked.- If we
" started a fire In our rooms we would
turn the water Into steam, and the re-
suit was that my first experience with

Tfyingto dry ouf the room, to which It
"was often necessary to travel In a row-
' 1 'boat, or else stay out in the rain.' Front

season.
"But those were only Incidenta 'that
erred to give a relish to life. As yon

do want - to say" this. The struggle
.'through which the people of this great

derfsl results that have been attained,
has been the most Inspiring sight that
could have been furnished to any his

has been the sterling honesty of the

- Mr. Conrad Is well known to many
of the great men who have taken an

, 21 .years as a member of the -Illinois

of the men had been sufficiently svb
dued, they were finally liberated from
their prison, but they were given extra
work during tbe day and at night they
were chained to their bunks.
They were treated as hardened con
victs the rest of the winter season, and
it waa only when the vessel sailed awsy

SEEING BY ELECTRICITY
,; " '
Two .Separate. Assertions JThat the
Problem Has Been Solved.
Almost simultaneously from two dif
ferent places In the United Btatea the
Invention of a device for seeing at a
distance by electrical means Is an
nounced by two different Inventors.
Somewhat strange to say, the name
adopted by each Inventor for his device
is "Televue." The names of tbe two In
ventors are given In Casster's Maga
sine as J. B. Fowler and William It.
Thompson.
A description of Mr. Fowler's device In
one of the electrical papers shows a wo
man speaking Into a telephone trans
mitter, while at the aide of the trans
mitter te a projection akin to that of a
hand stereoscope. The Idea la that the
spparttlon of the person at ths dlstsnt
end of the 'wire will be seen within
this projection. ' - "
It Is sstd that four wires are at pres
ent required to accomplish the speaking
arid seeing, but that eventually two
wires only will be necessary.. It -la also
said that natural colors are reproduced
In the apparatus.
Complete details of the operation of
this Interesting apparatus are withheld.
Here's Where tbe
TIiie
for
imer
It Is said, for certain reasons eonneeted
with patent office matters. In the mean
time, r however. It is reported . that a
company has been, organised to push
the scheme, ana stock in the company
will be offered te the publla. - -
sir. Thompson does not appear to
have progressed so far with his Inven
tion as Mr. Fowler, but It la stated on
Mr. Thompson's behalf that hla device
will be an improvement on the other
one . 1
In the absence et details It la abvlous
that no opinion: can be expressed as to
-the value of ths claims of th
ess gentle-
man. It la well established that the
problem which-they have set out " to
solve Is not an easy one. Attempts havs
been made- to solve it by men well
equipped for the purpose, but' thus far
without euccesa. .- -- :
Not long ago M. A. Ntaoo of Belgium
mads a careful etudy of many of the
methods that have been proposed for
seeing at a distance electrically, and con
cluded that none of the devices thus
far experimented with possesses the
necessary requirements xor succeesrui
operation
In the majority of" the" -methods for
transmitting sight to a distance that
property of selenium by which Its elec
trical resistance ' varies with the in
tensity of the light thrown upon it haa
been employed, but this use of the sub
stance has not hitherto met the expec
tations of Inventors.
THOUGHT HE WAS BURIED
A remarkable ease of mistaken iden
tity haa occurred at Horsforth, a few
miles out of Leeds, says the London
Leader. . i
On Monday of last week a body was
taken from the Leeds and Liverpool
canal at Hunslet, and later It. was Iden
tified as that of John Beth Morfltt, aon
of tbe Horsforth registrar.
Several of Morfltt's relatives viewed
the body, and Morfltt's wife was satis
fled that the clothes, tobacco-pouch, and
other articles were those of her husband
The body was removed to Horsforth on
Saturday, when the funeral took place,
and was attended by a large number
of sorrowing relatives. .
On Sunday young Morfltt. who was
then " supposed : to have been burled,
walked Into hla father's house, well and
hearty.
He had been residing In Leede for a
few days, and saw the report in the
newspapers of ths finding and Identifi
cation of hie supposed body. Who the
buried man le remains a mystery. - '
Tbe body lies In a grave belonging to
the Morfltte. Toung Morfltt. who has
a wlfs and three children, waa substan
tially Insured, and the money haa al
ready been drawn.
