oi uregon Ainert i. r.ieau. 01
Washington; Frank R. Goodin of
Idaho, and George C. Pardee of
California.
Traveling Men's Day will be one
of the biggest days at the fair. A
local committee is making elabor
ate preparations for entertaining a
great number of knights of the grip
on June 10. Invitations to be pres
ent have been extended to 3700
commercial travelers, traveling pas
senger and freight ageuts' and trav
eling insurance agents, and to all
the members of the United Com
mercial Travelers, the Travelers
Protective Association and the Pa
cific Coast Travelers, and a majority
of these have promised to come.
Special trains will bring 700 from
Seattle and a large number from
Tacoma and Bellingham, and from
Grand Stairway, Lewis
Vancouver, B. C, There will also
be several trainloads from San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento and
otner California points, as well as
from Salt Lake City and points as
far east as Denver.
The day's exercises will begin at
ten o'clock with a parade which will
start at the Armory and take in the
down-town section of Portland. At
least three thousand will be in the
line of march. After lunch, the
travelers will gather at the exposi
tion grounds, where at a o'clock in
formal exercises will be held in the
auditorium. Governor Chamber
lain will welcome the visitors on
behalf of the state of Oregon, and
Governors Mead, Pardee and Good
ing will make reply for their several
states. The rest of the progiam
will include music by the orchestra
and by the Travelers' Male Quartet.
The exposition management has
co-operated with the traveling men
by offering them free use of the
Auditorium and will prepare an
elaborate fireworks display on
Guild's Lake as a feature of the
evening entertainment. A number
ol the concessionaires on the Trail,
the exposition's amusement street,
have agreed to give complimentary
admissions to their attractions.
The passes arranged for will admit
the knights of the grip to the
Haunted Castle and Trip to Venus,
George Jabour's Wild Aniimal
Show and Gay Paree, the Infant In
cubator and the Old Plantation.
The European exhibits building
stands on the left ot Columbia
Court, the central plaza of the ex
position, which is embellished by
sunken gardens with perling foun
tains and beautiful exotic plants.
The building is in the design of the
Spanish Renaisance and possesses
many graceful features. Each cor
ner of the structure is set off by
towers, having open arches, on the
sides guaided by ornamental bal
lustrades. The main entrance is
through a huge semi-circular arch.
The face of the arch is richly
adorned with flowers, vases and al
legorical figures woven into a scroll
of bas relief.
From the center of the building
..-.,.- .. j , .- ;.-y
rises a huge tower, topped on each
corner by smaller towers. In the
center is a roof garden, the sides of
the tower forming a surrounding
loggia. Here, during the exposi
tion will be located a first class res
taurant where one may dine and
view the surrounding scenery to
gocd sdvcintae. At each end of
the structure between the corner
towers is a broad vestibule divided
into three arches by plain, square
pillars. Each archway leads to a
wide double door below a decorated
classic window and above each
arch is a highly ornamental win
dow. The main walls are relieved
by similar windows in the upper
tier, the lower tier being of simple
design.
Within the building, broad stair
ways lead from each corner and the
middle of the east and west walls
to the towers and root garden. Am
pie light is furnished from skylights
along the center ot the roof.
The building is 100x363 feet in
size and cost $5 1 ,720. All exhibits
from European countries are in
stalled in this structure.
Calls Putter a Liar.
Tacoma, Wash., May 19. Con
gresstnan Francis W. Cushman
who returned to Tacoma this even
ing, gives out an interview, in
which he bitterly arraigns the prose
cutors of the land-fraud cases in
Oregon, and declares his implicit
faith in the innocence of Senator
Mitchell and Congressman Herman
and Williamson.
and Clark Fair, Portland.
"I do not believe this man Puter
ever gave Senator Mitchell one cent
of dishonest money. He simply
lies when he says he did, in hope
of saving himself. Senator Mitch
ell has done no more than I have
done myself hundreds of time, and
I defy an investigation of my re
cord. I do not blame Puter he is
like a rat caught in a trap but I
do blame the jieople of Oregon, who
have received favors of Senator
Mitchell for years. I do not think
the jury will ever be found in the
commonwealth of Oregon that will
convict Senator Mitchell, because I
do not believe he is guilty."
Congressman Cushman was
asked if there was any likelihood
of land-fraud investigations being
made in the State of Washington.
Before answering, the congressman
took the precaution to close the
door of his library. Then for ten
minutes he indulged in most bitter
arraignment of Puter and persons
instrumental in the prosecution of
Senator Mitchell and Congressmen
Herman and Williamson.
"There may have been a lew
land frauds in the State of Wash
ington in the past, but no senator
or congressman was connected with
them, and if any sensational ass
with a crooked reputation of his
own, wants to come up here and
camp on my official trail, I will ex
tend him a most cordial invitation."
Congressman Cushman added
that he believed the political career
of Senator Mitchell was at an end.

A teacher in a Chicago school
was trying to explain the meaning
of the word "slowly," illustrating
it by walking across the rloir.
When she asked the class to tell
her how she walked, a boy at the

"Bowlegged, ma'am!" But how
did he know that?

SHE CELEBRATES'
HER GREAT AGE
118 YEARS OLD MAY 20,1905.
Mra. Mary Lemon Ramaey Wood
Pata Another Mil Poet-. Cut
ting Her "Baby" Teeth.
"Grandma" Wood celebrated her
n8th birthday last Saturday at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Cath
eriue B. Reynolds, her only living
child, who was born October 1 4
1830, and is therefore 75 years old
Numerous relatives and mends 111
the city and from Portland, Forest
Grove and other poiuts were in at
tendance. It was a gala day for
Mrs. Wood and she enjoyed the
celebration and shook hands and
chatted pleasantly with all who
came up to congratulate her, She
personally conducted the tea ser
vice, and with a pleasant smile
handed to each of her numerous
guests a cup 01 collee ana seemed
to take fully as much pleasure at
the gathering as anyone present
There has been some doubt as to
Mrs. Wood's age, some people
doubting that she has reached her
118th year. Mrs. Reynold showed
us a letter from Margaret Adams,
of Blue Springs, Mo., a niece of the
old lady written November 12.
1902, which answers that question
without a doubt. She takes from
an old family liible, now in ner
possession, the original record
which shows that Mrs. Wood was
born in Knoxville, Knoxville coun
ty, Tennessee, May 20, 1787. If
her oldest daughter, Miss Mary
Jane Lemon had lived she would
now be 98 years of age. Mrs. Rey
nolds sent for the Bible, but they
would not part with it, though thfr
record is there and can be vouched
for by numerous persons 'of Blue
Springs,
Grandma Wood is cutting a
"baby" tooth and though it gives
her some annoyance and pain, she
s very proud of the fact, and points
out the tiny piece of ivory to her
friends who drop in to see her.
As near as can be ascertained
Mrs. Wood was first married about
1805 in Tennessee, to a Mr. Lem
on, by whom she had four child
ren, the first, Mary Jane, born in
1806, dying in Missouri in the
spring of 1904, in her 99th year,
and the second, a son, who also
died In Missouri. The third child.
Mrs. Catherine Reynolds, was born
on October 14, 1830, and the fourth,
Mrs. Bullock, about two years later.
The family removed to Alabama in
1837 and the next year to Georgia.
Here Mr. Lemon died in 1839.
The widow remained with her fami-
y until 1849, when all removed to
Missouri. In 1853 her two young
est children, then having families
ot their own, decided to emigrate
to Oregon, and the mother conclud
ed to accompany them. Accord
ingly the company started from
rranklin county on March 7, with
oxteams, Mrs. Lemon riding a fa
vorite mare, which she affection
ately called "Martha Washingion."
On April 18, a granddaughter was
born, the mother being Mrs. Reyn
olds, and she was named "Martha
ioneer." She is now Mrs. South-
worth of Hillsboro, and is a grand
mother.
In short time after arriving in
Washington county in the fall of
853. Mr. Lemon was married to
ohn Wood, in Hillsboro, who
ived until 1867, and since then she
has had a home with her daughter,
Mrs. Reynolds, most of the time.
Notwithstanding her great age
Mrs. Wood is concious of all that is
going on about her, and recognizes
asily those of her own family and
others with whom she has had an
acquaintance. Among some of the
treasures she Is proud of are sev
eral great -great -grandchildren.
he oldest grandchild living is Mrs.
Bullock, who is 55 years of age.
During the afternoon Rev. Mr.
Webb and wife sang "In That
City." and afterwards the entire
company present united in singing
'Blest Be the Tie That Binds."
he aged lady said she enjoyed the
music, but could not hear well
enough to understand the words.
Among other things she said: "I
believe that company helps a body.
If anyone comes it always helps
me." She Lat in a side room just
off the main room of her daughter's
home and received the congratula

frequently interjected some quaint
remark that made it clear to all
that she knew and realized that the
company had assembled to honor
her. Mrs. Wood united with the
Methodist Episcopal church in
Tennessee when she was 17 years
old, and has been a member ever
since.
On August 27, 1904, "The Ram
sey Association of the United States'
was organized at St. Louis. There
were 250 representatives of the fami
ly present from 27 states in the
Union. The headquarters of the
organization is Topeka Kan., and
the secretary, learning that Mrs.
Wood's maiden name was Ramsey,
traced up the family history and
found that she was entitled to mem
bership in the association and sent
her a life membership certificate of
which she is very proud
Though quite feeble Mrs. Wood
is able to get about the house and

LAST HOPE FOR
PEACE GONE
NO CHANCE FOR SETTLEMENT
- , The Great Chicago Strike la Getting
WPe--Beth S'dee Refute
All Cc
Chicago, May 23. All prospects
of peace in the teamsters' strike
have disappeared, and it will be
open war from this time on. The
last conference looking toward a
peaceful adjustment was held at 6
o'clock tonight, between James B..
Barry, business agent of the Ex
press Drivers' Union, and the local
managers of the seveu express com
panies. The conference had been
set for an early hour in the after
noon, but owing to the failure of
Mr. Barry to receive proper notice,
it was postponed until this evening.
When the meeting finally took
place, the conversation was brief
and pointed. Mr. Barry opened
the negotiations by saying:
Our position is this: We want
all the men reinstated except those
who have been guilty of violence.
I cannot do anything different.
That is what the local union wants
and that is what the local officers
have told me to do. That is all I
can do. The men told me that all
want to go back in a body or they
won't go back at all. That is the
position of the union and union of
ficials." The reply of the representatives
of the express companies was brief.
It was:
"Our opposition to the reinstate
ment ot the men will be the same
four years from now as it is today.
We will not take them back under
any circumstances."
Paper Pulp Fuel.
From the refuse of paper pulp
mills an Indiana glassworker has
invented a new fuel which is said to
possess more heat units per pound
than either coal or wood and which
can be manufactured and sold at a
profit at one half the cost of coal.
The refuse, reports the Chicago Tri
bune, a combination of soda and
lime is mixed with crude oil until
the finished product has the con
sistency of putty, being manufact
ured much as a plasterer makes
mortar. In this state it may be cut
with a spade and thrown into the
furnace or beneath the boiler, no
kindling being necessary, as the
material ignites readily from the
flame of a match and burns with an
intense heat and without smoke ex
cept when under a strong draft. Its
success as a fuel for domestic pur
poses was determined some time
ago, but not until recently, when it
was used beneath an engine boiler,
had its value for manufacturing
after month's ot
polish to "Look

purposes beeu demonstrated. In
this test a bushel basket of the fuel
beneath a sixteen horse -power boil
er kept steam up for eight hours, no
clinkers and little ash remaining af
ter the fire had burned down.
Aside from the possibility ot a
cheaper fuel, the invention is of im
portance in converting the thous
ands of tons of refuse which every
pulp mill in the country turns out
annually iuto a valuable by-product.
One Pare For Round Trip.
The Southern Pacific Company
will make a rate of one fare for the
round trip from Portland to all
points in Oregon, Ashlaud and
north for visitors from the East to
the exposition at Portland to enable
them to look over Western Oregon
with a view of settling or investing.
These tickets will be good for fifteen
days limit, with stop over at all
intermediate points, and will be
sold to holders of the exposition
round trip tickets from poiuts East
of the Rocky Mountains.
This will afford the various coun
ties and communities that will
maintain exhibits and advertise in
other ways at the exposition, every
inducement to have the Eastern
people visit their section.
II Irani Cronk Dies at 105.
Hiram Cronk, the last survivor of
the war of 1812, died last week at
his home near Dunn Brook, N. Y.,
at the remarkable age of 105 years.
Besides bearing the distinction of
being the last of a host of 200,000
soldiers of the war of 1812 to pass
to the great beyond, Hiram Cronk
had the added prestige of being
among few men living whose funer
al honors were arranged in advance
of his death by the city of New York
or any other municipality. The
burial was made at Mount Victory,
in Cypress hills cemetery, where six
ty veterans of 1 8 1 2 already lie.
