Graphic Description of tike View From Portland Heights and of Pro gnw at the Exposition Ground Ttte First Ship to Reach Portland Was Fifty-four Years Ago, Now 10 Beach There Every Week. Portland Heights, Feb. 16. From the steep promontory gased The stranger raptured and amased "And what a scene were here,' he cried, "For princely pomp or churchman's pride: "On this bold brow a lordly tower; -"In that soft rale a lady's bower. "On yonder meadow, far away, "The turrets of a cloister gray: "How solemn on the ear would come "The holy matin's distant hum." If the poet owes much to nature, the every day individual owes much to the poet who has put what he wants to say Into words so much bet ter than he can do it himself. When the visitor has walked these jtreet till he Is tired out, looked In the nicest shop windows, duly ad mired the chamber of commerce building and the other skyscrapers, marvelled at the sublime faith of the Individuals who are building three or iour-story bricks out at 20th street, visited all the theatres and some of the churches, loitered several whiles In the city library and city hall, been up and down the river, got thorough ly posted on what Sheriff Word is doing and Chief Hunt is not doing: also what J. Whltcomb Brougher and Edgar P. Hill would like to have them do, that tired feeling Is apt to steal over him, and he decides to go some where else. I magnificent View. And then comes a day of brilliant sunshine, he climbs Portland Heights and from that eminence carries away a picture which will hang on mem ory's wall for some time to come. If he Is In a hurry, he'd better take the street car; if not. this walk will be found an enjoyable one. although somewhat circuitous and up-hill. But at each turning there is a picture to look at. and one which is not seen every day. On the heights are found many comfortable homes. There Is room for many more, some of which are al ready in course of construction. Here a family is occupying a tent, while the house alongside Is being built The end of the street car line was passed some time ago; it will no doubt be built further when business for It develops. And now, at last, the summit Is reached, and surely the view which meets the eye Is worth the climb. On one side as far as the eye can reach. Is spread out meadow. pasture land, grain field and wooded hillside dotted with farm buildings, school house and church steeple. On the other side, and seemingly far below, trom this elevation, lies the city in all Its pride of handsome resi dences, schools, church buildings, bus iness blocks and busy river with Its shipping. A little farther away are the broader waters of the Columbia: and further still, but plainly visible, the snow-capped peaks of Mts. Hood, Adams and St Helens. "Many and excellent things are spoken of thee." was said In olden time of another city, by one who was viewing it from an elevation perhaps somewhat similar to this. Many and excellent things are also said of this city today, and some others not quite so excellent; but surely the excellent things will predominate. Busy at the Fair Grounds. One of the busiest places in the city at present Is the fair grounds. A number of the various structures are finished, and the exhibits arriving are being housed. Other buildings are partially erected, and still others yet to begin. The visitor of today, view ing all these preparations, can scarce ly fall to be Impressed with the idea that it will be well worth a visit next summer. 1 What has the most moving effect on the visitor at present, however, la apt to be a 'certain legend displayed conspicuously on nearly all the build ings,. "Keep out; this means you, and that other inscription dear to the heart of Coxey's army: "Keep off the Portland Is somewhat apt to plume Itself upon its climate, and not with' out reason, but there are compila tions sometimes. . At a recent meeting of the cham ber of commerce one of the speakers compared the climate of the gulf coast New Orleans and vicinity, with that ex roruua, ana not mx mil w uw advantsge of the latter. But within a month the street cars were advertis ing the fact that there was good skat ing In various parts of town. Accl dents were reported, owing to the grlpmen being unable to control the ears In the extremely frosty weather; collisions with .other vehicles owing to the drivers having their oars tied np and thus could not bear the car bells; various boats tied op owing to floating lee in the river; and last, though not least, the genial speech maker was sick with the grip. Figures are sometimes somewhat tedious, but they convey Ideas. The first -ehlp to reach Portland was the brig Amazon from China, In 1861, and its arrival was something of an event to the little town. Now such arriv als are a common occurrence. 1 Tea Ships Per Week. Over S00 ships enter the Columbia river annually, nearly all of which reach this port, which la the largest lumber shipping, and the second larg est grain shipping point tn the United States. Sixty railway trains arrive at and depart from this city dally and distribute over an Immense section of eeuntnr I km mmna hMMdit k- tkM BABiT ships. In return they gather up over this same country and bring here the cargoes with which they sail outward bound. Portland has over 160 miles of street railway. In 1904 more than 2000 new buildings were erected. It has at present a population of 140,000, which, to quote once more that eminent authority, the Chamber of Commerce Bulletin, Is to Increase to 200,000 in 1905. Of course, the verification of this last figure would seem to involve a somewhat phenome nal application of President Roose velt's suggestion on the race suicide question, but no doubt the city will rise to the occasion. While Portland has not at Its front doors the fair water prospects whtch have made the cities of Puget Bound famous yet here are nearly 2000 miles of navigable Inland waterways, which within easy reaching distance, offers to visitor and resident some of the most enjoyable water trips to be found anywhere. Does he wish to venture further, out yonder where the prophetic'flnger has long been pointing, lies India, China, Japan! which, by the way, are sending to this fair exhibits valued at 1200, 000, 1500.000 and 11,000.000 respct ively; and which It is quite safe to predict will make very fair showings alongside the petty European coun tries which are trying to civilize them. And now the conclusion of the whole matter seems to be that to the dweller of this favored city, Kismet has been kind and cast his lot In pleasant places. M. GIVEN BY FRANCE TO AMERICA. Replica of Famous Bust of George Washington. Washington, Feb. ii. M. Jusser and. the French ambassador, on be half of the people of France, today presented to congress the bronse bust of George Washington, which, like the Bartholdl statue in New York and the Lafayette statue in this city, Is a testimonial of the esteem in which this country is held by the sis ter republic across the seas.

II EXE Y SPEAKS OF THE LAND FAUD CASES. Williamson, Mitchell and Hermann Are Certain of Conviction Her mans the Smoothest Rascal His Tracks Closely Covered -Evidence Against Mitchell la Abundant and Damaging. A special to the Oregon Dally Jour nal from Washington, says In regard to F. J. Heney's work In the land frauds: United States District Attorney Heney of Oregon today appeared be fore the United States supreme court to argue the Benson-Hyde land fraud case against the writ of habeas cor pus urplied for by the California land swindlers, who are seeking to avoid extradition to Washington. Mr. Heney arrived in Washington yesterday and spent the day with Secretary Hitchcock. The arguments In the supreme court will probably occupy three days, when Mr, Heney will return to San Francisco where he will remain until April 1, when he will arrive in Portland to resume Investi gation of the land frauds. In an interview with Mr. Heney to day he stated: "The government has a very strong case against Senator Mitchell and Representatives Williamson and Her man. We have conclusive evidence against all three. Mr. Williamson is as deep in the frauds as any of them and is badly entangled In Eastern Oregon, to which section his opera tions have been confined. "Mr. Hermann was the shrewdest and most cunning, of them all and has cleverly covered his tracks so that it has been most difficult to obtain evi dence against him. Mitchell's case is the most conspicuous of them all and the evidence against him the most damaging. , "Mitchell's secretary, Henry Rob ertson, has been placed in a false light accused of betraying his em ployer. This Is not the case. He had either to perjure himself or make confessions which would be damaging to Senator Mitchell, and he did the only thing possible for an honest man told the truth." Mr. Heney has been summoned to call on the president before leaving Washington. 8TATB OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO, LUCAS CUNTX. SS. Frank i. Cheney makes eath thst be si senior partner of the firm of F.
