'It. has been recently alleged in the columns of the local papers that there is a lack of effectiveness in advertis ing the Old Oregon Country and the Lewis and Clark Fair at St. Louis. Specifically it has been said that " the Oregon building is advantageously sit uated but that there is nothing there in the nature of literature that adequate ly advertises the resources of the state. The direct allegation has been ' made that those who visit the Oregon build ing in hopes of procuring information about' Oregon, are disappointed in not receiving what is sought, namely! In formation that is clear and definite. Other assertions have been made Rat eharge laxity in advertising the Expo sition tq be held in this city next year.." Evening Telegram. : To those who have visited the Ore gon "building" at St. Louis this com mentary on conditions existing there is positively amusing. The people of Ore gon may safely rely upon the assertion that "there is nothing there in the nat ure of literature that adequately adver tises the resources of the state." But why should there bel Anything like literature ia a building of that charac ter would destroy the conception of the Fort Clatsop idea. Lewis and Clark didn't have any literature in the old Fort why should the: charming idea be dispelled by the presence of modern in novations that wonld mar the harifron izJng effects of a combination of log cabin, stockade, bastions and cedar puncheons f Of course there is no literature there exploiting the resources of the state. The character of the building is such as one would expect to have found in the wilds of Kentucky in the days of Dan iel. Boone or in Oregon when Jo Meek first came here' and discovered the hole where Mt. Hood now stands.

This is not the first time Jupiter Pluvius has incurred the displeasure of our people by his neglect of duty, as well as by his over- attention to it. We have been threat-1 ened with a small drouth before, only to find that the anxiety was unfounded and that the heavens began to weep copiously gust in time to give the lan guishing crops the required moisture. While we have these periods of un satisfactory weather we should be thankful for the many ills to which we are strangers. For instance, the March bulletin issued from the agricultural experiment station of our sister state of Idaho gives s detailed account of grasshopper raids in some sections or. that' commonwealth. - Publie attention is called to their visitations, continuing in some places for fire years, after which they disappear for the same reason, presumably, that lightning never strikes twice in the same place after the first visitation there is nothing left worth coming back after. .

But the. Secretary explains that his party of six bad eight of the best rooms in the hotel, with excellent service,' and an automobile furnished the party to take them to and from the Exposi tion grounds six miles away. Mr. Ilay himself regarded the bill as being quite reasonable and has since stated public ly that the same service in New York would have probably cost 'Jdf.as much i .... .

One can live as eneaply in St. Louis now as at any time in the past and it is certainly true that rates have not been appreciably advanced since the begin ning of the Exposition. At frequent intervals placards can be seen on the principal streets advertising meals at fifteen cents and rooms can be had at reasonable rates. These reports . are loing the' fair an injury and they shoujd be corrected as fast as made. The ehanees to spend money there are, of course, unlimited and the expense of a viait is" to be goverened by the size of the visitor's purse and of his bump of caution. ' , 'CLEANING UP THE STATE." About a dozen men and women are indicted In Oregon for alleged complic ity ia land frauds, and have been for something ; like a year. The Federal court meets every little while, the ac cused parties are yanked to Portland for trial,; the wonderful activity of the Interior Department in "ferreting out fraud" is again' explained to an admir ing, and applauding public and the trial is postponed because some "im portant witness" has disappeared. The accused are sent home for another term of months, the witness is discovered and put in jail for being absent when he possessed such damaging informa tion;, while the people whose shortcomings-he it so unfortunate to know about are away "vacating" at Newport or elsewhere if they choose..

At the Republican national conven tion to assemble in Chicago this week, President Roosevelt will be nominated by acclamation. What ' the platform will contain is in substanee now known, since the Republican j party stands for fundamental principles looking toward governmental stability and progress along conservative lines. The only im portant action to be taken concerning which there is an element of uncertain ty, is the selection of a candidate for Vice President, though! the trend of pnblie opinion sets so strongly toward Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, as the successful man, that a few words as to his history will bo interesting at' this time. - t The first American ancestor of the - Senator was Jonathan- "Fairebankc," born in England before 1600 and who came to the United States in 1633, lived in Boston three years and then settled iiFDedham, signingj'the Covenant when the town was named. Between bim and the Senator are seven generations. The father of the distinguished Indianan was Loriston N. Fairbanks, born in Barnard, Vermont, May 24th, 1824; his father was Luther Fairbank, born in Swanzey, New Hampshire, September 10th, 1780; his father was Capt. Luther Fairbank, born in Lancaster, Mass.; "baptized July 15th, 1755;" his father was Deacon Joshua Fairbank, born in Lancaster, ' Mass., and baptized March 14th, 1714 j Tiis father, was Capt. Jabez Fairbank, born in Lancaster "8: 11: 1670," according to" the inscription on his tombstone; his father was Jonas Fairbanks, born in England and came to America, with his parents, Jonathan Fairebanke and his wife, Grace uee, in 1633. i . J ;. tsi?l . In 1652 Jonas Fairbank was fined for wearing '.'great boots" before he was worth 200 pounds, which was contrary to a sumptuary regulation ordered by the government of ; Massachusetts in 1651-. He was killed, with his son Joshua, by the Indians In 1676. It ia probably not generally known that the celebrated Fairbanks scales are the invention of two uncles oi the Sen ator, Erastus and Thaddeus, ; who es tablished a small iron foundry in Ver mont in 1823, first manufacturing par lor stoves and patented cook stoves, which are said to have" sold welL" They manufactured hemp-dressing ma chines, and the only method they had for weighing their products was "to suspend the object by chains from one end of a long timber overhead, and bal- A TEXAS W0 H PER : HALL'S GBEAT DISCOVEST.

Way back there in 97, while Wil liam Jennings Bryan was fairlv ecov ering from the effects of his First Battle, of the year before, several of his Oregon admirers conceived the idea of inducing him to make a special visit to the state and deliver a few speeches. There will, always be good ground for the suspicion that Milt Miller, the Sage of Lebanon, was instrumental in carry ing out the plan, since he was success ful in his effort to secure him for his home town in his first speech. .We should say near bis home town, becanse'it was. estimatel that it would require a ten acre field to bold the host of admirers who would flock from the four quarters to hear the silver-tongued defender of the silver-mounted propa ganda, and it was so. To accommodate the bordes we mean -hosts, rather who came from every direction and from all distances, the gathering was held on Albany prairie-where the faith ful admirers of the Peerless Leader who could not get . within gunshot of him could at least 'have an unobstructed view from the adjacent promontories in the" vicinity of Brownsville. f ' -And the people were there, in num bers conservatively estimated at 20,000. Old residenters living on the eastern slopes of the , Cascade Mountains , in Crook county, two hundred miles away, drove over with their entire families, camping ; on the way, that their eyes might, even for an hour only, feast on the; form of the man who had bearded the Cross of Gold in its Den and bol.lly defied the. Crown of Thorns to do ; its worst. Not since Calvary had such a man trod . the pulaiug earth and the oppor tunity was not to be lost. All the chil dren were brought along that the' only Champion of the People might be seen in the flesh. The man who had actually been deified by the crazed Masses was ance it by weights hnng from the other end." This was deemed too clumsy and the ' Yankees, surrendering to the mother of?., .invention the celebrated Fairbank scales aro ' the- result. The orotbers took; out over thirty patents for scales, made an immense fortune and among other large bequests en dowed St. Johnsbury Aeademy with a gift of 200,goo. . --:' : - : For nearly! 300 years the Fairbanks family has been a prominent one in the communities where, its members have lived. Originally, the name was spelled without a final "s" but for several generations this ' temination has been added by several branches of the family Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks was born in Union county, Ohio, May 11th, 1852, graduated from the Wesley- an University in 1867 was soon after ward admitted to the'bai, and settled in Indianapolis in 1874. He was elect ed to the United States Senate in 1897 and re-elected in 1903. He has an ex cellent record as an able and conserva tive member of the Senate" and will make an excellent presiding officer in ease 'of his nomination and election to the Vice-Presidency. ' ' : Hon. James K. Fairbank, a cousin of the Senator, has been a resident of Sa lem for a number of years.

Tomorrow, in Portland, the annual meeting of the Oregon pioneers will be held in the Armory building, where ap propriate services will be held in honor of the surviving heroes, as well as of the departed ones of that memorable band of explorers who made the peril ous trip to Oregon in the days when Indian trails were the only guides, and the yell of the Indian mingled with the desolate bark of the coyote as a com-1 rotting assurance tnat the - land they were hunting -was worth all it cost to TCaclTit. "f ';,".V..v' ; --v - The Oregon Pioneer Association was organized . . at ( Bntteville ; more than thirty years ago with Hons. J. W. GrimVrillard Bees and F. X.Mat- thieu as its principal officers. Of these honored, pioneers of French Prairie, Matthieu is the only survivor, now' in his eighty-seventh : year, hale and hearty. Mr. Bees has been dead nearly two years and Judge Grim about ten. For several years the annual meeting was held in Buttevillc, after which it met at the fair grounds for a period, but ten or more years ago Portland was selected as the most appropriate- and convenient loeation for the assembling of the remaining pioneers and those who attend to do them honor, j y And it may be said of these gather ings of the state-builders of a past gen eration that , no assemblage of osr citi zens represents as much of old-time hospitality and good cheer as is seen on every hand when one of the pat - riarchs of '43 meets another, perhaps, Editorial Idel!2bts m& Observktlon on Various Peoile nnd Things.

V -So, when the Defender of the .Money of the Constitution had concluded bis impassioned plea for Justice to the Downtrodden, he made a dash for the ear which was in waiting, but the Ore gon Pioneer was not to be thus left in the lurch.

FOB HIGHER GRADES. - TJe result of the election in Salem yesterday on the question - of higher grades in the publie schools of the city gratifying to the friends of that prop osition, and one of the most satisfac tory features of the eon test was the fact that it carried by a decisive rote 1 ot more th.nn two to one, thus leaving 'the matter clearly settled. A close Bryan and after the bitter's hand 'tad been will-night pulled off, he suggested to the BisSop that he quietly exchange jdaees with'him and let his hand hang outside to serve as a gratification cf the public, clamor. To this reasonable request the always kind heart' of the Bishop readily responded and lor ten minntes his good right hand did valiant service in Contributing to the frantic publie desire td clasp, if only for a see- fond, the hand of the greatint man on earth., . ..

P. 'Hill was given a great reception by the First Presbyterian church. It was during his absence the Oregonian delivered its broadside in oppor-ipesponse to the- Dr. s sermon on the Portland paper's attitude toward the saloons and local option. While the re ception was in) progress Dr. House re ferred to Dr.. Hill as 4the general who opened the campaign: and then got in the distance;" but said all generals did this, that no general tlesired to be shot; lit that Dr. II ill. had held a four-in-hand that had won. ; This four-in-hand, he thought, was gool as it had beaten any hand held by tho Portland Club." But just what these Kev. Drs. mean by these terms which serm so familiar to them causes ordinary people, to won der. By the way, what is a four-in-hand, anyhow f : vote might have given some! room for caviling, but this popular expression is ia the nature of :i instruction from the fountain head, the people.- And since none could vote but bona fide tax payers, only those have spoken who would feel any Increase of expense should such .ever be -incurred. On ac count of this proviso in the law govern ing school elections, none bjit tax pav ers can have a voice in the matter, though all voters regardless of projerty qualification v can vote at general c.lec. tion on questions involving this very s.nme princiide For this reason school represent the . voice of the Wf more nearly than any other. This action by the people takes from Salem the distinction it has heretofore held of bring; the only city in the en- lir I n 1 f I Stales with a rtormlation of ; j l,0O0 that has no high school, a dis- gStmetion that was nO credit to its good nante as a home for education.
