The news has come to Portland,
this week, that General Henderson of
Iowa, who will be the next Speaker of
the national House of Representatives,
has reappointed Mr.. Asher G. Kinds
of Portland, to the position of clerk to
the Speaker. Mr.. Kinds has held this
position during the last four years
while Mr.. Reed was the presiding Off
Ger of the lower house at Washington,
and it is no reflection upon any of his
predecessors to say that he is generally
recognized as the strongest man who
has ever served in this capacity. 1t
was generally believed some time ago
that Gen. Henderson would decide TO
retain Mr.. Kinds, so that the official
announcement which has just been
made, was no surprise to the friends of
Mr.. Kinds.

There is one which is fragrant in
bloom and fragrant also when its
ripened fruit is crushed and made
into a drink. We know it as coffee.
To enjoy the most delicious fra

simple, without any adulteration.
Chase & Sanborn's Coffee is
pure coffee. What is more, it is the
best coffee that can be raised by
experienced planters. Furthermore
every bean is selected and the same
care is maintained in roasting and
packing, until it reaches the con-
sumers' hands.
Because it is pure it is healthful
and the price at which it sells is SO

Ernest Gentry to be Taken There

SEAMANS' CLERK HIRE.
The Adjutant General May Pay It
Under a General Law.

Attorney General Ford yesterday rem
dered an opinion to the effect that Adj
jutant General Seamans' appointment
of clerk at $1,000 a year, under a
clause of the general appropriation bill,
is valid. No law was passed creating
such a place, but the Attorney General
directs the State Controller to allow the
salary, nevertheless. Acting on that
opinion Grace E. S. Barnes will be paid
her salary without question.
Attorney General Ford decides the
case on the strength of the implied
powers of the Adjutant General, and
quotes as follows from an opinion OF
Chief Justice Beatty in the case of
Rankin VS.. Colgan, lis Cal, 500:
After careful consideration of the
case of Lewis against Colgan, and the
authorities cited, l have been unable to
distinguish the case stated by you from
that case. If, in addition to the pow
ers expressly given by statute to the
Attorney General such additional pow
ers as are necessary for the due and
effective exercise of the powers ex-
pressly granted, are by implication
given to him, it would seem that if it
were impossible for him to personally
perform the duties of his office, in car
ing for the property of the State, and
that he needed the services of a clerk
to properly perform them, it would be
proper for him to so employ clerk.
Under we'll settled rules he could not
bind the State to pay the clerk for the
work performed but the State has in
this instance made an appropriation for
the payment of his salary and ex-
penses; therefore, the Adjutant Cen
eral, having the authority to employ
the clerk, the appropriation would be
perfectly proper

will wear out if continuously produc-
ing the same article. He told how he
had men in all parts of the world seek
ing cereals and grasses which could be
raised to advantage in this country. He
wanted to learn all about every part of
the country so that he could send these
things to the place best adapted for
their culture. He understood that in
order to raise alfalfa successfully here
in California it was necessary to irri-
gate He had discovered grasses which
We're as good as alfalfa which did not
require irrigation and was going to in
troduce them here He made an ex
pertinent in this State last year with
a grass from the Russian steppes and
found that it grew here without irri-
CATION as we'll as in it's native soil.
Secretary Wilson is an ardent ex-
pansionist and predicts great future
the acquisition of the Philippines.
Speaking on this subject he said that
while at Tacoma he saw a vessel which
had just been loaded with $500 tons of
American products for the Philippine
Islands. He named dozen or more
States which were represented in the
articles aboard the vessel, saying that
the cargo consisted of all sorts of mer-
chandise steel, tools, agricultural i'm
PIGMENTS, beer, toys, flour. bicycles.
etc.
The Secretary expressed himself as
deeply interested in the movement late
ly set on foot in San Francisco for the
conservation of the waters of the
State. He said he had no doubt that
If the State entered upon the task of
building reservoirs and storing the sur
plus waters the United States Govern
ment would grant California the res
ervoir sites already surveyed by it.
Quite elaborate preparations had
been prepared in this city to receive
and entertain Secretary Wilson and his
son and daughter, but owing to the
train arriving an hour later than was
expected, their reception here was linn
tied to a drive to the Capitol building.
Mayor Land and Grove L. Johnson

Board of Horticulture; J. A. Read, Sec

Miss Belle Mathews, received Miss Will

The train arrived at $40 p. m. and
Secretary Wilson was given an inform
al reception at the depot, being intro
duced to those present by Messrs. Will
lis and Miller.
Though an elaborate luncheon had
been prepared at the Golden Eagle Ho-
tel owing to the lateness of the hour
and to the further reason that Secre-
tary Wilson was due to reach San
Francisco early in the evening, he and
his party were unable to partake of it.
Instead of SO doing the guests entered
carriages provided for the purpose, and
with the Reception Committee were
driven to the Capitol building and back
and in a half hour were again aboard
their car, speeding toward San Fran
cisco.

The signs are that the fair will be
great success in every detail, for all
the committees are wide awake, prompt
and harmonious. Secretary Shields is
in touch with all of them, and they
are bending every energy to carry out
his plans, as he is bending every en-
ergy to cooperate with theirs.
Yesterday forenoon there was an i'm
portant conference between the Secre-
tary and the Executive Committee
relative to an important matter for the
entertainment of men. AS an adjunct
to the regular program a plan was
formulated by which it is hoped to
equip a great smoking-room and con-
servatory where the tennis court now
is, place of flowers and rustic seats.
The men get weary of the Pavilion
at times suggested Captain Seymour,

were in favor of closing a contract

Mr.. Reed of Pomona Grange will have
the general management of the county

for large display. He hopes to have
it arranged by Mr.. Dematriades with
whom he was instructed to confer.

Automobile races are among the pos

most everything pertaining to Califor-
MAS agricultural and horticultural in
terests. AS the train neared Vina he
expressed wish to see the great Stan
ford vineyard. Mr.. Ramsey, superin-

met the Secretary at the depot. The
train was backed up to the vineyard
and Mr.. Wilson and the party went
through the great Wine cellars and
bonded warehouse The Secretary
evinced great interest in everything he
saw. He visited the vineyard ard ex-
amined some vines that had been at
tackled by some disease which Super
intendent Ramsey could not name, and
said that he would have an agent of
the department visit Nina and make
an investigation.
Passing through the bonded ware
house Mr.. Wilson noted the kind of
wood the casks were made of and Mr.
Ramsey remarked that 1t was scarce
and expensive here. lie replied that
he believed we would soon have ship
ments of that kind of wood from the
Philippine Islands. as two-thirds of
that country was covered with valu-
a BILE woods.
During the day the Secretary had
time to tell something of the conditions
he found in Oregon and Washington.
He enlarged upon the necessity of di-
versified farming and rotation of crops.

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
large quantity of bogus bills, which are
SO cleverly executed that the average per-
son would never suspect them of being
spurious. Things of great value are al
ways selected by counterfeiters for imi-
tation, notably the celebrated Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which has many imita-
tors but no equals for indigestion, dys-
pepsia constipation, nervousness and
general debility. The Bitters sets
things right in the stomach, and
when the stomach, is in good order it
makes good blood and plenty of it. In
this manner the Bitters get at the seat
of strength and vitality, and restore vigor
to the weak and debilitated. Beware of
counterfeiterS when buying.
