Cairo, Egypt, March 26. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt was the honored
guest at a reception In the garden ter
race at the Sheppard hotel today. Sev
en hundred Americans greeted him.
The scene must have reminded Roose
velt of White House decorations in
other days. The setting Itself was not
unlike a White House scene, while
American flags and American songs
added to the home atmosphere.
While the crowd of his fellow enun-
rymen waited to receive the former
president some one started "America.''
Every one Joined in mid the song was
n full awing when Roosevelt appeared.
His face lighted up aa he entered the
errace and heard the familiar old fcong.
and the old familiar phrase.
With the spirit of the White House
receptions, he declared at once that ho
wanted to "shake hands with every one
hero." The visitors were pleased and
soon the line of Americans, in a foreign
ity, thousands of miles away from
their own country, filed past-
Kope to Bee Kim President Again.
The spirit of the White H'use recep
tion was on the' colonel's callers, too.
Five out of every seven persons who
grasped Roosevelt's hand, as they
greeted him. expressed In one phrase or
another the hope of seeing him In the
White House next.
One Kansan, pausing as he greeted
Roosevelt, said earnestly:
"I nope, Mr. Roosevelt - when you
come back to America, yow will
straighten up President Taft."
Bo far as eliciting any reply, how
ever, these remarks might as well have
been addressed to the sphinx. The for
mer president had a cheery word of
greeting for all the callers, but nothing
even faintly rer cmbling a reference to
politics passed his Hps.
ZiUnch With th Khedive.
After the reception at the Sheppard
hotel, Roosevelt visited the Ashar uni
versity. He was attended only by two
Mohammedans. From the university he
hurried to the Ahdan palace, where he
lunched with the khedlve. The luncheon
at the palace was an unusual honor. It
Is the first time that the khedlve has
ever given a luncheon to a private citl
sen. Ambassador Straus, was also
guest.
Tonight Consul Iddlngs will give a
dinner In honor of Roosevelt and some
of the most prominent people In the far
east will ne guests.
Roosevelt Is evidently better Informed
on political subjects than might be sup
posed. He has carefully guarded against
being trapped Into any statement that
might be construed as a political expres
slon. Although the correspondents have
led up to the subject of politics In hid
den and-unusual ways, the colonel has
managed -to sidestep any answer. It Is
believed In the talks he has had. with
Ambassador Straus he has gained Inti
mate knowledge of American affairs and
Is already in very close touch with the
situation In the United States.
Heart-to-Hart With Wo.
The guests at the luncheon given at
the Abdan palace by the khedlve were,
besides former President Roosevelt, Mrs.
Roosevelt, Ambassador Straus and Mrs.
Straus. Consul Iddlngs and Mrs. Iddlngs,
Kermet and Ethel Roosevelt, Consul Id
dings' daughter and the members of the
Egyptian cabinet.
After the luncheon the Roosevelt
party returned to the Sheppard hotel,
and Wu Ting Fang, former Chinese min
ister to the United States, called. Wu
is on his way home from America. The
ex-presldent and the former minister
enjoyed a long chat. They were great
personal friends In Washington, and
had an "old times" visit.
French Says People Have No
Idea oftnterest Taken in
Oregon by Easterners.
Oeorge R. French, president of the
Spokane. Portland A Seattle railroad,
returned from St. Paul last night with
the Information that $1,500,000 will be
expended In Improvements on the line
between Portland and, Spokane during
the present year. Since the roadbed
Is in excellent shape, the lion's share
of this appropriation will be devoted
to equipment.
President French, In company with
f!cneral Freight and Passenger Agent
If. M. Adams and General Superintend
ent James Russell, made the trip from
Spokane In the private car of Howard
Elliott, presldf-nt of the Northern Pa
cific. The Elliott party with which
Mr. French came out from St. Paul,
stopped off at Spokane. In the Elliott
party were ". W. Tunn, general coun-
sel of the Northern Pacific; (leo. T
Slade, 'vice-president and In charge of
operation; J. M. Hannaford, In charge
of traffic, and Thomas Cooper, assist
ant to President Elliott and general
land commissioner.
No Damage Done.
On the way from Spokane President
French and Messrs. Adams and Russell
Inspected the entire road. The trl
was made In 12 hours. It was found
that not the least damage had been done
by the storms a few weeks ago, when
all other northwestern lines were pros
trated by slides and blockades.
"I went to St. Paul for a conference
In regard to the year's budget, and was
pleased to receive more than I asked
for. The greater part of the appro
priation will ha devoted to equTpment.
"I found that Portlhnd gained a great
deal of prestige In the east because of
the fact that it was the only outlet
to the coast during the reoent storm.
I say this without Intention of bringing
Into prominence the part played by the
8., P. & S. at that time, but simply to
bring to mind tha remarkably favor
able geographical position of Portland.
East Boosts Oregon.
"People here have no Idea of the
Interest that la being taken In Oregon
and Portland In the east. I never saw
the like of It. You hear the city and
state mentioned everywhere."
Rumor has been circulated here to
the effect that when the -purchase of
the Oregon Electric and United Rail
ways by the Hill people Is openly an
nounced management of these lines Is
to he plaied with the management of
the S.. P. & S."
"What foundation Is there for the
rumor?" was asked of Mr. French.
"I am not In position to say any
thing ahout.the Oregon Electric or the
United Railways." lie replied. "I have
heard n good ileal of talk, but It Is a
subject I do not care to talk about."
"And what about the Union depot
terminal negotiations?" was another
question.
"That question has been up for a
long time, ever since the North Bank
road was completed." said Mr. French,
"but there la nothing new to announce
in that regard." "But there Is one
thing that you may say, which Is that
the North Bunk road is a strictly Port
land proposition, and that Portland's
future appears .brighter to me than
ever. 1 ne Klllott party, as I under
stand, will not come to Portland this
trip."

when his own attorney, Vertrees, was

It Is expected that Brandels will

It Is generally believed that Vertrees

Olympia. Wash.. March 28- It will
cost Arie Hoover $3000 for opening with
out authority a telegram sent to ( II.
Delghton of Kenncwi-ck, and taking ad
vantage of the "information contained
therein.
Delghton owned a tract of timber land
In Oregon and offered It for sale to
Hoover for a certain price, but before
the sale 'was consummated Delghton's
father telegraphed to his son that the
. eyerhaeuser's were willing to give
$2000 more for tho tract than he had
been offering It to Hoover for. The men
were neighbors and the telegram was
given by tne operator to Hoover to de
liver to Delghton on his return after a
short absence. Hoover opened the tele
gram and as soon as the plaintiff In this
case returned to Kennewick he Informed
him that he had reconsidered the matter
and would buy the timber land at Delgh
ton's figure.
The sale Was made, when Delghton,
through his father's letters, discovered
the trick played upon him. In the
meantime Hoover had sold the tract to
.he Weyerhiteuser Timber company.
Delghton started, an action In 'the lower
court of Benton county against : Hoover
and received Judgment andA costs,
amounting to $3000. The supreme court
sustains this verdict.

mlKton, Or., March 2$. --When you travel
for seven days over th O. R. & K com
pany h lines In eastern Oregon ano,
mingle with a few hundred husky farm
ers, you learn that there are places
other than Danville. III., and subjects
that are In no wise connected with th
tariff or Taft'B pet measures. Even the
Egyptian adventures of T. Roosevelt and
family seem of little moment to the soil
tillers In the valleys of eastern Oregon.
Crop Prospects Bright.
Right now they're busy. "The great
est spring we've ever had. and It keeps
us employed preparing for the crops,"
they will tell you. In Morrow. In lTma
tllla. in L'nlon, In Baker and In Wal
lowa, counties touched this week by
the demonstration train, the at
mosphere literally vibrates with hope
fulness. Wheat raisers declare Indica
tions point to the state's record crop,
one that will easily eclipse the 1907
crop. Kqually favorable conditions are'
reported by orchardists and stock rais
ers.
But the wheat crop prospects are
but one of the many pleasing features
of this year's tou of the demonstration
train. Adoption of Intensified farming
methods has ushered in the small farm
era. The movement Is in its Inclplency,
but it is constantly gaining ground. The
plow Is tunning the soil on land where,
formerly roamed the eattlo raiser's herd.
New farm houses and new town houses "
testify to the addl tlorr of- fresh---vecftfts--'
to the rapidly augmenting army whose
task Is the conquest of this "last fron
tier." Farmers' Unions Strong.
Virtually every farmer In the coun-
ties touched by the train Is a member
of the Farmers" union .that coopera
tive organlaatlon which protects In '
every way the interests of each member. '
The farmer of eastern Oregon Is no
longer the "oppressed son iof tho sod."
He places his products where they com- '
mand the "top notch" prlceL If he Is a
stock raiser he belongs to the state
livestock association. To use a homely
phrase, ho has learned his lesson, that
"In union there Is strength.
. An automobile honked up to the "farm
on wheels" at lone Monday. It ca,rrled
a Morrow county farmer and his fam
ily. "That machine looks out of place In
thlH country," remarked a stranger.
"That's because you're new to the
country." retorted K citizen and then
added that several farmers about lone
and Heppner owned automobiles. And
not alone In Morrow. The toot Of the
auto's horn Is familiar along many of
the country highways of Baker, Union,
Umatilla and Wallowa counties.
High Class of Intelligence.
And thus it Is that the standard of
Intelligence of the demonstration train's
audiences Is high. And it la the bfahdl
of acumen that constantly seeks Infor
mation. That Is one reason why each
Innovation brought by the demonstration
train evokes Intense Interest. The milk

most of the farmers as would be an

MAYOR IN

Xew York, March 28 Railway men
today believe that the denial by Presi
dent Ripley of the Santa Fa road of the
report that tin: Pennsylvania railroad
had nurchased the Santa Ke is some
what equivocal. .Ripley, who Is at
Santa, Barbara, Cal., is quoted as hav
ing aid that the report of the amal
gamation of the roads was "as true
now as It was before.'" referring to a
similar rumor a year apo.
Ripley is quoted as having also said:
"There Is but one man on the Santa
Fe directorate who Is also on the Penn
sylvania dlrecorate, and he Is not put
on because he belonged to the Pennsyl
vania. I cannot say positively, but my
personal opinion Is that the Pennsyl
vania road does not own $1 worth of
Santa Fe stock."
Railway men here point out that
Ripley's so-called denial of the reported
merger in reality does not constitute a
denial.
The .object of the reported merger
was to give the Pennsylvania lines a
coast terminal.
