It Is estimated by the railroad pas senger departments that the attendance st the festival will at least equal that of , the largest day at the Lewis and Clark exposition. ind preparations are being rnade accord Ingry. If estimates are met there will be between 75.000 and 100,000 visitors In Portland on the principal days of thy Rose Festival.

Salem, Or., May II. Thousands of dollars will be paid into the treasury' of Oregon by the Portland General Electric company as a sesult of th de cision of the supreme court yesterday that the corporation must pay the state 10 yer cent of the money received from the Oregon City locks from 188 to 1901. The attorney general also gives his opinion that this decision gives the tale tno rignt to taxe over tne iockb. Governor Chamberlain caused the suit to recover the unpaid percentage to be filed by tho attorney general in 1905, The case has been fought In the courts ever since. Judge Eakln's decision holds that the failure of state orrioers In the pat to collect the money due has nqt Invalidated the claim and that the corporation must meet Its Indebtedness. Arter nearing oerore juage rrnzrr i Multnomah county It was held that the state was barred by the statute of limi tations from recovering money aue ror a period of more than six years previ ous. The defense then answerea set ting up their allegations, that the com pany owns the locks In fee by purchase and not through special statutes: that the state has acquiescea in notenmni a exercise of Its rights and Is now estopped from claiming anything; that this suit seeks to deprive defendant of property Without due process of law. in nS Opinion J UnLltW i'jfirvii, uuiu that since the canal Is-located In part In the river bed Us property must have been acquired In part by legislative grant; that In any event Its use of the canal is a dedication of public use; that (Continued from Page One.) mann g shop he said: "What's that about gasoline stoves?" and then kept quiet.

It was estimated by the Southern Pa- ciric mat more tnan zoo.uoo visitors were In San Francisco for the coming of the fleet. Portland's rose pageant, a far more beautiful snectacla. will prob ably draw half that number. The coaches and equipment that were used by the Southern Pacific are at San Francisco are now being redistributed, nnd many of them will be sent to Port dnnd. Probably Mhe larger part Df the extra equipment will be drawn from the Short Line, which Is more convenient. The: Portland Commercial club .todav sent letters of inquiry and advice to all the railroad, companies. Including steam and e'.ectrlc, asking them what . is 'be ing done In the way of special equip ment arrangements f"r he festival. It has no title greater than that of the first company; that the appropriation was accepted on the condition that the terms ot the act would be complied with; that the failure of the officers of the state In collecting installments due cannot operate as a waiver of a con tinuing liability for a share ' of' the profits or a recognition of defendant's ownership fee. from It; that the com- rany acquired the property subject to he rights of the state and hence this is not a taking of property without the process of law. The prospect of state ownership of the locks Is greeted with Jby through out the Willamette valley. The private corporation has charged SO cents a ton for all freight taken through the locks, and In this wav has enabled the South ern Pacific railroad to maintain extor tionate freight rates. As a result the Willamette valley shippers have been throttled and private ownership of the locks has been the greatest impediment to the growth of this fertile section, ' Governor Chamberlain realised this when he had the suit filed, and yester day's decision Is considered here aa one of his greatest victories for the people of Oregon. Attorney-General Crawford said to- aay: "wne or tne conditions of the, original grant was that after 20 year rrom tne original grant the state might take over the locks at a valuation to be fixed by the legislature. Inasmuch as the supreme court has upheld other con ditions of the grant, It la reasonable to suppose that this condition also will be valid and still In force I ballevo there fore that th state will be able to as sume ownership and control ofaibe lotks.'A ' - " v. ' V It was learned this Afternoon that the prisoner spent last night in jail, having been picked up by Policeman Epp at 12:30 this morning as a drunk. He was taken to the dty Jail, was Inspected this morning by the detectives and was released by Captain Moore as a vagrant not worth holding. CHINAMAN TELLS HOW ASSAULT TOOK PLACE THIS MORNING John Chung, hit by the gas pipe this morning, when asked If he ever saw his assailant before he entered the shop this morning, replied that he had not "Me never saw - him before. Don't know why- he hit me with iron stick. Me reach way up like this," and the Chinaman showed how he. had stretched Ms arms up to take down a bolt of cloth, when the (hug grabbed him by the back of the neck and, pulling him down to the floor, dealt him five heavy blows on the head. "Me Jump 'up then, and run out af ter the -man. Me much make noise. Other men run, too." The Chinese then went on to tell how he had followed tne gas pipe wieiaer to Erickson s. While speaking the excited yellow man was changing his bloody clothes In his little shop. He did not seem to be hurt The Chinaman's declaration that he "never saw the thug before diiectly con tradicts the latter's statement in tha police that the Chinaman knew why he had been assaulted. "Jack the Split ter, also expressed himself as sorry he hadn't killed the Celestial. This statement, taken with his re mark to Freeman and others vhan ha was captured, shows that the man clear ly intended to Kin ootn the Chinaman and the Jew he referred to. That he aid not was aue onty to tne fact that he was In too big a hurry. When re ferring to the Jew he had attempted to kill he perhaps meant one or both of the secona-nana aeaiers wno were murder ously attacked yesterday and the day WAGNER HELD FOR ASSAULT ON BROKER HERMANN YESTERDAY " 7 '" ' . In view of the capture of Jack La- Rose in connection with the attacks upon the Couch street pawnbrokers Monday and Tuesday, it is probable that a complaint charging C. W. Wagner, a brake man, with the assault upon Max Hermann will be dismissed this after noon and that Wagner will be given his liberty. i Wagner was taken to the St Vincent's nospitai tnis morning in order tbat Hermann might identify him. He did mo almost positively, excepting to say that the man who attacked him wore a light gray coat, wnue Warner wore a dark suit, detectives Coleman and Kay had Waa-ner out there and Coleman oh. Jected strenuously to the nilng of a complaint aiam.i 1110 prisoner on aucn evidence. "I've a serious doubt In mv mind as to Wagner's guilt, and unless I can find that he wore a gray coat -In Stein's Kwnshop and the saloon at Third end ivis which he visited Just prior to go ing to Hermann's If he went there at all I shan't favor detaining him." said Coleman. Kay was certain, however, anad so he Induced Emanuel Hermann, a son of the victim ot the thug, to sign a complaint charging Wagner with as sault' witn aeaaiy weapon. Captain of Detectives Baty-declared at noon that he didn't order Wagner charged with the assault of. Hermann end that if a complaint .was Issued it was without his knowledge. - He said he did not think any of the time that Wag ner was connected wlla the assault upon Hermann. - ' . ,' Hermann is still at St. Vincent's hos pital and tt chances are favorable for bis recovery.. . .

Ever since Peruna was In troduced to the public thirty years ago, the housewife has been an ever faithful friend to Peruna. She it is that has seen the practical benefits of the use of Peruna in the family. When the baby has snuffles or cold she gives ft few doses of Pe runa, Instead of filling the system with the doctor's drugs. When the school children have coughs or colds she again resorts to Peruna. When any member of the family Is afflicted with catarrh, either In its acute form or chronic, Peruna la resorted to. In a large number of minor ailments he finds Peruna a never-falling remedy.
