WHEN EAST
MEETS WEST
THCY NEED AN INTRODUCTION
Th Lewis ana Clark fair Will Be
the Introducer at Portland, B
finning June 1tt.
The East needs an iutroduction
to the Middle West. Both East
and the Middle West need an in
troduction to the Far West. That
introduction is going to be made,
formally and informally you may
take your choice this year, and
the Lewis and Clark exposition at
Portland, Oregon, will be the in
troducer. This exposition, which
will open June i, will be success
ful in many ways, but in no way
will it be more useful to Americans
than In making the tar-divided sec
tions of this great country acquaint
ed with each other. What does
the man in Augusta on the Kenne
beck, for instance, know about the
man whose home is at Salem on
the Willamette? And the Walla
Walla Washingtonian what is his
conception of the Washingtonian
whose residence is in the District of
Columbia? Between San Francis
co stretch 3,000 miles of territory,
and the middle does not know the
ends, nor do the ends have the
proper acquaintance with each
other.
The exposition at Portland will
bring together both ends and the
middle and make them mutually
acquainted. The East ought to
know more about the West than
the West knows about the East,
for Easteiners travel in the West
more than Westerners travel in the
East; but these touring Easterners
do not seem to diffuse their know
lodge of the West when they re
turn home. Or perhaps the home
staying Easterners refuse to believe
what their travel-wise neighbors
tell them of the West, because
some of those tales are tallish, so to
speak, and appear unbelievable to
the eye of the conservative East
erner. On the other hand, the East has
gained a mighty misconception of
the West by placing credence in
tales entirely to tall for the proper
statute of truth and veracity. The
"wild and wooly" West is the only
West which much of the East wots
of. The tamed and tranquil West
they refuse to believe in and they
entertain also in some quarters, a
notion that the West is incapable
of complete civilation.
The exposition at Portland will
do much toward giving the East a
proper attitude ot appreciation
toward the West. The thousands
of Easterners who will take advan
tage ot the reduced railroad rates
and attend the exposition, see the
western country and its people,
study conditions and take note of
achievements, will return home
with minds cleared of very much
haziness that had beclouded them
by reason ot the acceptance of fic
tional caricatures as gospel fact.
They will find all along the Pacific
coast a civilation far advanced
splendid cities with skyscrapers,
church spires, public libraries, uni
versities of learning, and tele
phones! It is related that a Boston woman
who visited St. Louis last year was
amazed to learn that the telephone
was in general use throughout that
city. What will be her astonish
ment to find in Portland not only
the telephone that talks, but the
telephone that sees? At the Lewis
and Clark exposition a device
whereby one talking through a
telephone may see the reflected fea
tures of the person at the other end
of the line will be exhibited in
practical operation for the first time
in public and strange to state it is
the invention of a Portland man.
The east and the West will be
come acquainted at Portland. This
will clear up many misconceptions
on each side and will serve the
stronger to cement the several sec
tions of our land.

New Plan 1 Adopted.
The grand lodge A. O. U. W.
last week by a vote of HI to 43
adopted the new rates recommend
ed by the supreme lodge after one
of the warmest contests in the his
tory of the order. The new insur
ance plan provides for a reserve
fund, a guarantee fund from which
3 nqrt rf h Itrt Irw . well a
the assessments of members over
55 may be paid, and optional assess'
ment plans from which new mem
bers may choose that which best
meets their needs. A new member
may take the level rate plan, which
fixes his assessment at the same
rate throughout the period of his
insurance, or he may take the clas
sified rate, under which he ad
vances every five years to an older
class with a corresponding increase
in the amount of his assessment.
Centennial Notes.
"Hit the Trail" at the Lewis and
Clark exposition opeuing in Port
laud, June 1.
Sites have been selected for the
Philippine village and the Homer
Davenport pleasant farm. These
will be located near the experi
mental gardens and the grand es
planade. The experimental gardens at the
Lewis and Clark exposition have
been abandoned, inasmuch as the
remarkable demand for exhibit
space necessitated the utilizing of
this tract for buildings.
Hundreds of magnificent vases
have been profusely scattered about
the grounds. In these have been
placed beautiful palms which will
be in full bloom by opening day.
A test has been made of all the
electric lighting effects at the Lew
is and Clark exposition. This
proved exceedingly satisfactory,
and after a few minor details have
been attended to the exposition will
be ready for public inspection.
Reports from Wisconsin would
indicate that the legislative body
of that state is making baste to re
consider its action in killing the
Lewis and Clark exposition appro
priation bill, An allotment of $24,-
000 is now assured.
The enormous Ionic columns for
the Oregon state building at the
Lewis and Clark exposition have
been placed in position, The
building now presents a very im
posing appearance. Work upon
all the other state structures is pro
gressing with much rapidity.
Thi great crowds which throng
the Lewis and Clark exposition
during the pre-exposition period
have necessiated more turnstiles,
which will be installed immediately.
Plans for the permanent entrances
have been prepared; and work on
them will be started shortly.
Work upon the Hungarian chad-
ra at the Lewis and Clark exposi
tion has commenced. The struct
ure is situated on the East Side of
Lakeview Terrace in front of the
Utah, Idaho and New York state
buildings and faces the Grand Es
planade. In speaking of character, Presi
dent Roosevelt said a few days ago:
"A man who is a good neighbor,
a good husband, a good lather, is
the type of man who makes a good
citizen. The person that you want
to have as a neighbor is the man to
whom you can tie, on whom you
can count, the man who is a game
man in the time ot trouble, but who
docs not seek trouble; the man who
does not brag or brawl, but who
makes good; the man who is decent
and square in his dealings with
others. That is just the type you
have in public life. You cannot
afford to let any man represent you
in public life if he is crooked; I do
not mean whether he is crooked on
your side or not. If he will do
something that is not exactly
straight for your advantage, he will
do it quicker for his own advan
tage."
Who Was Out T
A man wanted a ticket to Olathe, and
had only a two dollar bill. It required
1 to get the ticket. He took the t'2 bill
to a pawnahop and pawned it for $l..V).
On his way to the station he met a
friend to whom he sold the pawn ticket
for I1..V1. That gave him $.1. Now,
who's out that dollar? Kansas City
Ktar.
THE ABATEMENT
FULLY ARGUED
HENEY WAXES SARCASTIC.
Court Will Announce Its Decision en
Monday NeMt.-Technlcality
of Defense.
Oregonian, 19: The second day
of argument in the Mitchell abate
ment proceedings has been ended
and the question has gone to Judge
Bellinger for his decision, which
will be announced upon the open
ing of the court on Monday next.
Throughout the day a . itent crowd
of interested spectators and listen
ers packed the little courtroom on
the third floor of the Federal build
ing, and in spite of the dry discus
sion ot the legal niceties stood un
shifting from the beginning until
the close of th session.
At the opening of the morning
session United States District At
torney Heney asked permission to
introduce citations which he had
overlooked the day before in sup
port of his contention that the pleas
in abatement had been filed too late
to be of effect. The permission
was given and he cited the Cob
ban case, by Judge Deady, and the
Agnews case in 165 United States
to maintain his point. He showed
that by these decisions he stood
on solid ground, as in the latter
case it had been held that a plea
filed in six days after the return of
the indictment had been filed at too
late a date aud the plea should not
be entertained.
Attorney Bennett argued his side
of the plea ot abatement, and oc
cupied the whole ot the forenoon in
discussing the question at issue.
Senator Mitchell's attorney ar
gued that the common law and not
the statutes of a state governed the
selection of a jury by federal courts.
The common law recognized the
plea ot abatement as the. proper
means of testing the legality of a
grand jury and upon this fact the
defense based in part its claim.
The defendant, argued Bennett,
had the right to a trial by jury on
the questions of fact as raised by
the plea. The irregularity alleged
in the creation of the grand jury
brought out questions of fact, aud
therefore the defense claimed the
right to try the case by jury, and
not before the court alone.
It was also contended by the
speaker that the court had no right
to allow Peebles and Buffum to be
sworn on the jury after that body
had been impanncled and that this
act invalidated the actions of the
jury.
"This case," continued Bennett,
is a technical one, and involves no
direct chaige of motal turpitude,
other than that Senator Mitchell
might have unknowingly taken
money as a member of a firm for
services done by that firm which
were not according to the Federal
law governing members to the sen
ate. In those other cases we have
waived all rights of demurrer, even
though we thought we could over
turn the indictments, and are ready
and willing and waiting to go to
trial. If of all these cases this pres
ent one is the only one in which
the government is ready to try,
then it would seem that the moun
tain has labored and come io the
mouse."
"I deny that Mr. Heney was a
de facto officer or that he was right
fully one. A man cannot be a
clerk or an officer unless he resides
in the district. The law was
passed in the latter part of Grant's
administration when men from New
York went to the South to accept
government offices with their car
pet bags in their hands and their
trunks In their hotels, who held
office until the term expired and
then left again for their former
home. This was recoguized as un
just, and prohibited by law. and it
has been so long since the law was
violated that its existence had been
forgotten until this case brought
it before the people again. I do
not think that President Roosevelt
would have appointed Mr. Heney
if he had known that he was break
ing the law. I do not know how
Mr. Heney holds his office.
Heney argued that the laws in r
lation to pleas in abatement were
in great confusion in the different
states and that citations from state
cases could be found to fit any con
tention and condition. But, it was
to the state courts for all of the
contentions had been settled by the
United States supreme court in its
decision in the Porto Rican case,
and this decision was in favor of
the government's contention.
In touching on the part ot the
plea which alleged bias and non
qualificaiion on the part of Mr.
Heney, the speaker said:
"The effect of the plea is to try
me as to my bias and my residence,
I hold that if the case should be
tried as to whether or not I am, or
was, prejudiced that it may go
down into history but as an inci
dent more to effect the risibles of
the bar of the United States than as
one to cause sober thought or con
sideration. "The point is raised that I am
not a resident of this district, that I
am an 'alien who has come here,
and that there is great danger from
bias and prejudice in trying these
cases. I was of the opinion that I
was an American citizen, a brother
American, one who holds to the
democratic doctrine that when the
United States took the Philippines
the constitution followed the flag
into the islands. And yet- it is ar
gued that there is great conse
quence of evil in my coming here
to conduct these investigations,
that I am prejudiced' against these
people whom I had never . seen,
whom I did not know, and who
have been indicted by their neigh
bors and friends.
"I, an alien, should have brought
my grand jury with me from Cali
fornia, and here entered into secret
conclave to work my spite on those
whom I do not know.
"It seems tome," concluded Mr.
Heney, turning to Bennett aud
speaking in the direction where sat
the silent figure of Senator Mitchell,
"it seems to me that instead of
wishing an early trial and an im
mediate one, as has been claimed
by some oi the defendants here,
there is a great desire to try out
questions oi technicality rather than
either guilt or innocence of the
charges brought under the indict
ment." Call at Cate's for your hop-wire and
fertilizer. Priot.-s right.

27--TH Program an Eaoellent
One--Bi Crow) .
The official call for the Oregon
Development league meeting in
Portland April 26 aud 27, has been
received. The program is an ex
cellent and comprehensive one, and

able for the best interests of the

A. Conan Doyle, whose new
Sherlock Homes stories are just be
ing brought out in laook form by
McClure-Phillips, under the title,
"The Return of Sherlock Holmes,"
has been stricken with the same
malady that has so seriously affect
ed Kipling and a number of other
popular writers in recent years.
He has gone automobile mad. His
frenzy is not, however, likely to
prove fatal, to himself or to others,
because of the good care he is, hav
ing during the first paroxysms of
the disease, from his mother. Mrs.
Doyle is a quiet little woman, who
has been passing a sweet and peace
ful old age in a vine-covered cot
tage in Yorkshire. She has a
fathomless admiration for her fam
ous son. The successes of "Ar
thur" are her life; the bread and
meat of her daily conversation.
When the automobile mania seized
Dr. Doyle, she felt that duty called
her to his side. She left her vine
clad cottage and went to her son.
When he wanted to take a spin in
his machine, she took her courage
in her hand and climbed into the
front seat with him, and placed a
cautioning finger upon his arm as
he opened the throttle. And now
the chickens, and the sheep, and
the cows, of the country round live
in peace, lor they know that they
have nothing to fear from the
snorting machine with the sweet
faced, gray-haired little woman by
the driver on the front seat, for
No better made. No better can bo maed. Our
guarantee goes with every pair.

Cod yW ants New Trial.
"Buffalo Bill" Cody has filed a
motion for a new trial. Mrs. Cody
was recently granted a divorce from
the scout. Cody's attorney states
"that our chief plea is that the
women's clubs of the entire coun
try were aeainst Colonel Cody and
that the combined influence of these
clubs so wokred on the public that
sentiment in favor of Mrs. Cody
was to a fever heat.
Uses of Lemons.
Gargle a bad sore throat with a
strong solution of lemon juice and
water.
The juice of half a lemon in a
cup of black coffee without any
sugar will cute sick headache.
Lemon juice and salt will remove
iron rust.
A strong unsweetened lemonade
taken before breakfast will prevent
and cure a bilious attack.
Lemon juice added to milk until
it curds and these curds then bound
upon parts swollen with rheuma
tism will bring relief.
Lemon juice mixed very thick
with sugar will relieve that tickling
cough that is so annoying.
A hot lemonade taken before go
ing to bed will cure a cold on the
lungs.
A cloth saturated in lemon juice
and bound about a cut or wound
will stop its bleeding.
Lemon juice added to fruit juices
that do not jell readily, such as
cherry, strawberry, etc., will cause
them to jell.
This is Repudiation.
The prospective action of the A.
O. U. W. of Oregon in raising the
monthly assessments of the older
meml)ers to a prohibitory figure and
thus forcing them out of life insur
ance, amounts to cold-blooded re
pudiation. Whatever the excuse
or whatever the necessity for the
action, this fact stands unchanged.
The older members of the A. O.
U. W. are the men who have been
the bone and sinew aud life of that
order in and throughout years past.
Their efforts and their money have
supported the order and kept it on
its feet. In consideration of the
payment monthly of certain assess
ments and certain dues the A. O. U.
W. has issued certificates of life in
surance to these members. In good
faith, and in the expectation that
the order would fulfill its contracts
with them, these members have
made their monthly payments regu
larly and constantly throughout
the years. Now their assessments
are to be raised, without their con
sent and against their protest, to a
figure that will be prohibitive to
nine in every ten of them. Thus
they are to be forced from the or
der. Thus their life insurance is
to be taken from them. Thus their
families are to be left without the
protection of life insurance, because
they are too old now to get insur
ance in any other; order or in an
old-line company. It is indeed a
very serious step that the A. O. U.
W. of Oregon is about to take.
