"York Staters" Former residents of New York state now residing in Oregon are requested to send their names to Major Algar M. Wheeler, 225 West Pari street, Port land, at once. A list isf now being pre pared for publication showing the pres ent and former residence of former New Yorkers. Visitors to the exposi tion from New York will be interest ed in it, and many residents here will doubtless discover old friends and form new and personal acquaintances. The New York Soeiety is doing a good work. Received a Silver Medal T. Dillon, foreman of section No. 10 of the Southern Pacific, has re ceived from his company a silver,, med al for the best section on the lines in Oregon for the year 1904. Mr. Dil lon 'a section includes the tracks of 1 the Southern Pacific, railroad -from State street. in Salem to. two miles South of the city, including many switches and sidetracks. The .receiv ing of the medal is quite a if honor, but Mr. Dillon, by careful, painstaking and hard work, with his force of faithful Japanese hands, earned it honestly, and deserves it. Doctor of Laws , Many readers of The Statesman will be interested in the following item con cerning a former Salemite and native of Marion county, Oregon, who is now occupying a high 'legal position in the state of Washington: "Mark A. Ful lerton of the supreme bench of the state of Washington is to be given the degree of doctor ot laws by the Wash ington State College on commencement day, June 22. Judge Fullerton was one of the pioneer attorneys of Whit man county, and practiced here nearly twenty years prior to his elevation to the supreme court of the state in 1898. Tie is now serving on his second term of six years." (From Sunday's Daily.) It Looks Baa 1 "The simple stone of Betsy Ross is covered now with mold and moss." So are the stones of your loved ones in every graveyard of Oregon. Spend vour money for bronze monuments and the coming poet will not have to tell a "moss covered" story about, your loved ones laying ia the grams. See T. B. Wait's ad in this paper.

Receives Official Notification Attorney Charles L. MeNary of this city was yesterday officially notified by the officers of the grand lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows ef his appointment as deputy district grand master for district No. 1, which includes Salem. He was highly rec ommended for the office by the dele gates who represented the Salem I. O. O. F. lodges at the meeting of the grand lodge recently, held in Portland, but he was not officially notified of his appointment until yesterday. Mr. Me Nary is a member of Chemeketa lodge No. 1 and is very popular among his brother Odd Fellows. He is one of the leading young attorneys of the state and a young man of exceptional ability. Clarence M. Bishop The many friends of Clarence M. Bishop will read ' with much pleasure tbat.he will be home soon to accept the superintendency of the new woolen . mill built last vear at St. Johns by Messrs. Olds, jadd, Burrell and Thompson of Portland, Mr. Bishop left four years ago for. the east and took a full course at the Philadelphia Textile School, after which be was as sistant designer of the Pioneer Woolen mills of Pittsfleld, Me, - Prom there he ent to the position of , designer ! and assistant superintendent of the Knox ills Woolen . mill at Knox ville, Tenn. Special inducements were offered , him temain east, but his ambition, under the insinration riven him bv his CTand- father, the late Thomas Kay, to take! native i state, overbalanced any east ern prospects. This incident is evi dence of the fact that there are always openings for the young man who can do things. Four years ago when ex Mayor; CP. Bisnop sent his two sons east , to a textile school, The States man, i a eslling.attention to the matter, suggested that it would be a good day for Oregon when fathers, would be sending their sons east to prepare them to assist in building np the material resources of the state instead of all becoming doctors, lawyers and preaeh- Addressed the Normals Io -its report of the graduating ex ercises at the Southern Oregon State Normal School at Ashland, the Tidings says: "Prof. W. C. Hawley of Salem' delivered an eloquent address of wide reach, full of fervor and patriotic ref erence. His purpose was to illustrate the- problem before our nation today, namely, self-government, and he paid a tribute to the genins of the race from which we sprang. The speaker did not forget in passing to give recog nition j to two notable aets - of friend ship toward America by Russia, one in our revolutionary war and. in the war ftot the union. He might also have no ted an important service done us by the same country in the preliminaries for peace in the war of 1812. Mr. Haw ley has spoken in Ashland before and is always listened to with pleasure. He said much yesterday worth remember ing, especially by the class, who are inclined to look to others to do their thinking for them and to neglect civil duties in a large degree.

Late Hop Sale) ' Reports were received yesterday' to the effect that Catlin A Linn had pur chased the Massey Buggies lot .or hops, consisting of 210 bales, on last Thursday, at 20 cents: and the lot of the James Finney estate, consisting of ninety-five bales, rated as choice, have been sold to Kola Neis, on Friday, for 20 cents per pound. It is also re ported that the holdings of Ralph Wil liams ! of Dallas have been consigned, to England, but the terms of the con signment could not be learned. Is Granted' Full Pardon Governor Chamberlain yesterday af ternoon granted a full pardon to Evan Carver, who was serving a life sen Fence in the penitentiary, from Union county, for murder in the second de gree, but whose sentence was commut ed by; the governor on March 4 of this year, j The pardon is granted because Carver has been making every effort since his release to restore himself , to useful citizenship and is desirous of taking up a homestead under the fed eral laws. lie was committed to prison in December; 1892. Deeply Imbedded In Horse's Chest Dr. D. D. Keeler, veterinary surgeon, yesterday performed an operation upon a horse belonging to Mr. E. Belle of Oak Grove, as a result of whieh he extracted a piece of board from the animal's chest whieh measured six inches in length by two and one-half inches in breadth and one inch thick. The block of wood was buried deep in the horse's breast. Mr. Belle says be does not know how It ever got there, unless the horse, which has been run ning to pasture for some time, plunged into the end of a fence board and broke the piece off. The horse seems to be none the worse for the experience, ex cept for a slight soreness and lameness, which will be overcome in a few weeks. State Encampment The annual state encampment of the G. A.

Every luxury is provided for the pas sengers. We have a Bout six meals day. Dinner is at 7 o'clock, during which an excellent t orchestra plays. Last night we had a dance on deck. The red, white and green eleetric lights made the deck most attractive. Every morning from 10 to 11 we have musie by the brass band. Eat! : . '.i j ' , WelL we are hungry continually. The cuisine eouW not be surpassed. The chef is an artist, and every dish is gar nisbed fancifully with vegetables or some deviee of adornment. I met the chef and said I wished I knew how to eook. He answered with a deep Ger man bass, "1 wish 1 might teach you.' He occupied a like position to this one at the Waldorf Astoria for years, and he is proud of bis profession, of whieh ne is at tne neaa. It takes 530 men to run this ship. She consumes 600 tons of coal every twenty-four hours, and she eost $3,000,' 000. She accommodates 2,000 passe n gers, and it costs between $6,000 and $7,000 a day to run ber. I might write much more about this great vessel and ber many wonders, but 1 most soon close. : - '! To night the captain gives his big dinner. Everybody will appear in full dress and wear his most pleasing smile. At our table sit a German army officer, a German judge of court said to be very wealthy, who has ' been around the world three limes. Still another man the captain, Will and I. I am the only woman at I the table, and I feel flattered, as I receive much attention Germans are certainly polite. ' Tomorrow morning at 6:15 we leave the steamer at Plymouth and will ar rive at London tomorrow night, when we hope to hear from the dear friends at borne. On the Indian Ocean. Thursday, Oct. 1, 1903. To begin, I'll explain that the most comfortable place aboard this ship is on deck. ' When we. arose this morning it was fearfully hot, and we put on as little clothing as polite society would allow. For' some two or three hours we felt most uncomfortable, but a kind Providence ran the ship into . a heavy tr ordeal rain about 10 a. in., so that now. (an hour later) a niee, eoql breeze faces us. and we are once more at peace. I believe the last letter I sent to you was at Port Said, which stands at the entrance to the Suez cabal. The village was created bv . the English the offices of this steamship company beine located there. The .town is built on sand pure and simple, and the inhabitants, consisting of Africans, Chinese ' and Arabians, all mixed up into a hybrid lot of beggars, are the scum of the earth. Our ship touched off the village at 4 o'clock in the morn ing, and as the stop would be brief we arose at that hour, 'and Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Martin and I took a native boat and were rowed ashore by a young Af riean. Beini? before 6 o'eloek, we had to pay double fare and found the town asleep with the exception of three or four enterprising guides, wno tnrw themselves upon our necks (as it were) and begged to assist us in doing the town. One of. them wouia stay wiin us, but the balance quietly stole away. The city consists of one street only, about the length of six Portland blocks, with s width of say fifty feet, and on either side three or four storied ver- aadaed buildings. Some of the better made of adobe, clay and straw bricks, roughly fashioned. There were one or two shops open, aad the' proprietors ran out in breathless basts to invite us in to feast our eyes on their treas ures. We entered the largest and best of the shops available sad inquired the price of Maltese lace. It was fearfully high. . Port Said being the market place , for this particular article, we thought i we might get something fine for very little money. Not so! we are not millionaires, so we bought . nothing. Cigarettes are made there, but we do not smoke and did not buy. A mono ment to De Lesseps, the father of the canal, stands on the . shore. , (Here's another heavy rain.) It took us not more than half sa nour to see iue mi u irvm ucgipoiag to end, so we went back to the quay and our guide received his few pence sad bowed profusely. 'When we finally reached the boat, the passengers were 1L. A II : beginning to get up. We found on the aeek two native merchants with heaps of Maltese lace to sell, but their cus tomers were few and far between. Alongside the ship were two African boys and one Arab diving, for coins. They dive for nothing'but silver. TThe Neapolitans were not so -particular). These black, slimy fellows would wave their arms in the air and yelL "Hi yi, I dive!" putting special emphasis on "I ' It was most curious to see them. We entered the canal at 8 a. m. and had plenty to amuse us forthe day. This waterway is 87 miles long, and since I our sh?p wa, allowed r.. an hour, we were at it al day and most of the night, and were delayed at several ? stations waiting -for other craft to pass us. , Perhaps you, like I, had an idea that the canal was built on a bee line of equal width and depth. No so; it keeps on a straight course for about 25 miles, then turns slightly. There are several bends in it before it comes to. the eeries of bitter lakes, Go to B. E. Wright for . v "PAINLESS DENTISTRY and it varies in width materially. In places its width is only sufficient for the passage of one steamer at a time. Many dredges are constantly working to keep the channel deep and to broad en the canal where it is narrow. Dur ing the day we passed several "packs or camels with their Arabian "drivers. The trip through was most interesting, and from tbe gangs seen on shore now and them, a boy would break away and run parallel with the ship, beg ging xor money or rruit. We ran into the bitter lakes about 6 p. m., and left them about 8, enter ing the continuation of the canal. Tbe town of Suez was reached about 3 a m.; thence out of the canal and into the Red Sea, and here we bad hot weather,- tbe thermometer registering 93 degrees in tbe shade In a humid atmosphere. It was s fright. We had over three days of this sweltering heat and could neither sleep nor , rest at night. Tbe electric fans were our only salvation, and they served only to stir up a little the sweltering air. Our Detter half, poor Will, declared Tuma (Arizona) to be a delightfully cool and ref resbing place in . comparison' and heartily wished he were there. But a sunrise- seen on the Red Sea Here waa compensation for all our dis comforts. About half an hour before the sun appeared the water gradually became a dark red color; the moun tains on shore took on the same shade, and the sky as well." It was most marvelous, and we readily understood why this body of water was named tbe Red Sea. We saw in the distance Mount Sinai. A sight of that moun tain would no doubt ' please an ardent religious person, but to us it looked like the other mountains near it; rug ged, barren and burned brown .with the sun. . , We passed from the Red to the Ara bian sea and were soon in sight of Aden, a town on tbe southermost coast of Arabia.

COMMISSION "IT HAS POWER OVER CORPORATION TO DECIDE A3 TO CONSTRUC TION OP BUILDINGS, ETC. Attorney General Holds that Lewis sad Clark Fair Commission Has Right ef Discretionary Power and "That Cor- poration Most Abide by It Decision. (From Saturday' Daily.) In an opinion rendered yesterday af ternoon Attorney General Crawford holds that the Lewis and Clark Fair Commission has the precedence over all work that Las transpired at the fair ground, especial y so in. regard to contemplated changes that are propos ed to be inadY upon the buildings. The trouble which prompted this opinion arises out of the controversy that the corporation had the right to select the site and superintend the construc tion of the exposition buildings, but, in contravention of this belief the at torney general holds that the com mission has the sole power of deciding upon the site and buildings of the fair and that the corporation has no au thority to make any alterations what soever upon tbe buildings. The opinion of the ttorney general, which is self explanatory, follows: "Yours of the 8th last., requesting mv opinion as to whether your com mission has the authority to prevent change being made - in the buidings constructed by the commission, upon the Lewi and Clark fair grounds, has my attention, aad in reply thereto per mit me to say that in my opinion your commission has such authority. AMtll 1 A til HUlHlff)lll commission authorizes and directs that 'the commission hold at the city of Portland, during the year .1905, an ex hibition of arts, industries, manufac tures, and th products of the riverv soil, mine, forest and sea,eteV and by means of said exhibition to benefit the people of the State of Oregon, by way of the- advertisement and development of its resources. "Section 2 provides for the appoint ment of eleven commissioners and see tion three provides for the organization and defines the powers and duties of the commission. "Subdivision B of said Section 3 pro vides for the appointment by the com mission of six of its members to act with the executive committee in all matters of co-operation between th commission and the corporation, plainly indicating that ' in some matters the commission - would co-operate with the corporation while in others K' would not. The first question is whether the commission and corporation should co operate in the construction of the buildings, with state money, and I am of the opinion that the question must be answered in the negative. "Section 4 of the act provides that the commission is empowered in its discretion to accept for the purpose of the exhibition such site as may be se lected and offered and such p.ans and specifications of buildings for such) pur poses as may be tendered by the cor poration ; provided the same are . ten rtered without charce. It will be not iced that the section gives the commis sion the right in its discretion to ac cept, but no .word is found requiring acceptance. Therefore the conclusion necessarily follows that the commission could secure its own site and, plan its own buildings, if those tendered were not satisaetory. 'The buildings constructed by your commission were built for tbe state of Oregon, and for th' purpose of hold ing the exposition, authorized bv the aet. and the fact that you permit the same to be used by the corporation doej not. in my opinion, in any manner transfer the title to the corporation or the right to materially change or alter said buildings in any respect. It might have, and probaby Las. the au thority to put ia shelve or make slight alterations for Xa purpoee of enabling tbe exhibits t be conveniently placed. but I find nothing in the aet that gives it any further authority. Tbe joint occupancy of tbe buildings is for the purpose of tbe exposition in piaeing and displaying exhibits, but sot for tbe purpose of making alterations in build ings. This can only be done wits the consent of tbe commission. "I hardlr deem it necessary at this time to attempt an elaborate discus sion of the relation of the commission to the corporation. The act provide some things for tbe corporation to do and eomo things for the eommissioj. and also some things tbst they snail do jointly, and of the latter, if the executive committee of your commiss ion snd tbe corporation -disagree, then tbe same is referred to the Governor, Secretary of State, sad Stats Treas urer, whose sward made by the whole or majority shall be binding, and those matters are defined m tbe act. if a disagreement should arise, however, it can then be examined and determined. "Section 6 of the act, you will notice. specifies that the allotment of space for exhibitors, classifications, and. ex hibits, plan and scops of the exhibition snd other matters shall be . done aad performed by the corporation, subject, however, to the approval of the com mission, and all such matters . In my opinion, are intended to be referred to the said stats officials ia ease of dis agreement. . "You stste ia your letter that a pur ported opinion has been given by this office to the corporation and by it de livered to you deposing the' commission from many of what It believes to do its powers, and relative to that matter I would say if this office has delivered an opinion deposing the commission from .any of its power or privelege the same ia certainly erroneous a far as such stterapt appears therefrom. There i no question in my mind but what-the state through it commission has the right to joint occupancy with the corporation and thst the right of the corporation in the buildings is ths use" for purposes of exhibits snd that the eontrol of the same is joint with the commission for that purpose, while the commission has the entire eontrol as io making changes or alterations in ths construction. That, at least, is my view of the law, afer" earefully exam ining the set. , , IblUcJYa Faw Hirers tx$L Bsantas 9 New Today EGGS WANTED.
