JAB0UR WORKING WEST
ORIENTAL SNOWMAN WILL HAVE.
CONCESSION ON THE PIKE AT
PORTLAND.

George Jabour, the oriental show
man, is in the city on his way to- Port
land, where he is to have the animal
show and Gay Paree concessions on the
pike at the Lewis & Clark exposition
next summer.
Jabour has spent the past month at the
st. Louis exposition securing talent, and
says that most of the amusement con-
cessionaries there lost money in good
big chunks. "The loss made last sea-
son. he says, was small compared
with what most of them suffered: The
show was too big, the railroads did not
give rates low enough and the papers
> & I had another. carnival company out
last summer in the eastern states, but
didn It have very good luck. Finally, I
connected with the Toronto exposition
and had a concession there that paid
pretty well. "
~ think very we'll of the prospects
for the Portland eXpositi on, as I I'M
derstand the railroads will make at
least as low rate as $25 for the round
trip from Mississippi river points,
and that the management will profit by
the St. Louis mistake and do liberal
advertising. J. M. Wakefield, who is
to be director of concessions, filled a
similar position at st. Louis, and all
showmen have confidence in him. III.

Fourteen turkeys were received from
the charitablyp inclined by one needy
Minneapolis woman Thanksgiving Day.
She was without fuel and her rent was
unpaid. She spent the day of praise in
disposing of the surplus stock Of birds,
much to the horror of several of the
donators.
The ministers of the city, seconded
by the Associated Charities, have de-
clared strongly against this "frenzied
charity,' which makes its appearance
at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and
of the year. Half the people believe
that if it is blessed to give it is more
blessed to give in huge doses, and the
other half is learning to believe that it
is, ,eminently sacred to receive. While
the ministers have no desire to criti-
ciseIst sweet charity" or "Lady Boun-~
tiful,,,' they do not see why the poor
year and allowed to starve the rest
The records of the poor department,
supplem ented by. those of the Associ-
ated Charities, show that there are no
more than 5000 poor families in the
these are needy. Yet it is understood
that preparations are being made in all
parts of the city which, if carried out,
will provide dinners for more than
| 5000. What the people need is staple
articles, their rent paid, and fuel pro-
vided for the winter. The records show
that people who will willingly give 500
at Christmas will not give So in Jan
+ uary.,. {. - "a - - - ky p, y

ager of the Associated Charities, to-
day, "to investigate the cases. The
situation may be likened to a medical
practice where half dozen doctors
prescribe separately for patient and
force him to take their medicine, with

RISKY FOR LUMBERMEN
New Bill of Lading Would Increase Lila
bility on Shipments.

Local lumbermen do not like unbusi-
nesslike things, therefore they are op-
posed to the new uniform bill of lad
ing. It is not the uniformity they
object to, but to the opportunity which
the railroads seized to make the bill
read 50 that they are not liable under
the common law of carriers.
Said one lumberman this morning:
owe advance, say 100000 a month on
lumber shipments from the coast. This
is 80 per cent of the bills. Suppose a
car of, lumber is burned in transit, as
happens four or five times month;
under the uniform bill of lading. the
road would not be. released from liabil-
Intermediates, we would not be iusti-
fed in advancing cent on the ship
ment, if neither the carrier nor the
consignee is liable. To do so would be
unbusinessslike.

our FLOUR IN FAR EAST,
Row the Japanese Army Got Its RAJ.
tiOns of Sustaining Food.

a strong point made by the -four mill
magnates Of the west is that when
any considerable number Of the mil
lions of China shall call for -four the
entire wheat growing area Of the world
will not be sufficient to supply the de-
mand, says q writer in the Booklovers'
Magazine. Even if all japan should
become -four eating people" he said,
''the whole available supply of the Pa
ciflc coast would provide this commod-
ity for only 20 per cent Of the popula-
ton of that kingdom" There is likeli-
hood, too, that greater portion Of the
inhabitants of Japan will acquire the
habit Of using flour.
1t was represented to the mikado By
his ablest advisers that in modelling
the japanese army on the latest mill
tary standard OF the modern powers
the important matter of diet had been
overlooked. Not only had all modern
nations a standing army, but the food
Of these formidable hosts consisted In
great measure Of wheat products. Rice
eating regiments, 1t was feared, might
not be able successfully to contend
with a foe whose sinews were built of
wheat.
Japan, to be up to date, must main
tain not only big, well equipped and
well drilled military force, but it's SOL
diers, like the men Of arms Of other
lands, must eat flour. SO an imperial
edict went forth recently, and now ev-
cry soldier in the armies of Japan gets
daily ration of Oregon, Washington
or California -four
This ukase Of the emperor will mark
the beginning Of a very important
chapter in commercial history, for this
mandate Oh the part Of the mikado has
already greatly stimulated the demand
In the kingdom for wheat products, the
people being alert to keep abreast OF
whatever is decided to be progress
Slong modern lines.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 12.-EVen with
the absorbing topic Of the escape 81
the Port Arthur squadron, the question
whether General Kuropatkin will &C
cept or refuse a general engagement
at LiaOyang continues to be a subjecE
of the liveliest interest. Opinions diff
fer in military, as we'll as in civilian
circles, and the profound ignorance
regarding General Kuropatkin's plans
is shown in the different views held
by members of the general staff. Elk
perts of the bureau of operation in
cline to the belief that collision be-
tween the main forces is inevitable.
Tt is pointed out that General KurQ
patkin might reasonably expect &c
hold out at Liaoyang for some time
and that he could even stand siege
and be able to depend on his enormous
stores to feed his army Gin case the
Japanese cut off his communications
pending the arrival Of reinf0rcements
from the north.
The persistent report that Lieuten
ant General Tinevitch is moving from
Vladivostok toward Mukden With
from 10000 to 10000 men lends colOl
10 this version. 1t is also pointed out
that if the Russians took such care to
fortify Liaoyang it was with view
of holding it against a superior force
Notwithstanding these considera
lions of a purely military character.
the belief is very prevalent outside as
well as inside the war Office that Gen
eral KurOpatkin has made up his mind
to avoid stalking the whole future Of
the campaign upon the issue of an en-
gagement at this stage, and that he
has resolved at all costs to retire to
the north, if he has not already done

Flower Trimmed Frocks.

Artificial flowers are used for the
trimming Of gowns this summer, and
even carriage robes have a flower or
two crushed against the girdle, says
the New York Press. Flower trimmed
evening gowns are not unusual, since
this IS a favorable fashion for debu-
tantes. Mrs. Hamilton Fish Webster
wore at recent luncheon in Newport
a pale yellow muslin gown with a
broad .sirdle Of yellow silk. Two Or.
ange hued flowers were tucked into the
girdle, and another orange colored bios
som was poised coquettishly under one
ear. These flowers saved the gown
from being commonplace, but for MIL
irons this flower fad is not safe.

and 1904 and no one can answer the
logic Of Judge Parker's arrangement
Ct the trusts contribution. The
| trusts are run on q business
principle. They do not subscribe
millions of dollars to a campaign un-
less they are paying for favors al
ready granted or purchasing favors
for future delivery. The weakness
Of Judge Parker position was that
the charge was made at the close OF
the campaign when it was neutral
ized by counter charge. The
trusts cannot be fought successfully
by any party that depends upon
faust funds to win the election
Ehe democratic party must make its
attack upon. the trusts SO vehement
that no one will suspect Of secret
aid from them. 1t will be to its
advantage if it Will begin the next
campaign with an announcement
that no trust contributions will be
accepted and then prove its sincerity
by giving the public access to it's
contribution list. In public inter
prises the names of con tributors are
generally made public in order to
denote the character and purpose of
the work
"Presdent Roosevelt has four
years in which to make good his de-
claration that no obligations were
incurred by the acceptance of trust
funds. He will diseppoint the con-
tributors or the voters. If he dis
appoints the contributors the trust
question may be put in the process
of settlement. If he disappoints the
people, they will have chance to
settle with his party four years
hence, Death to every private
monopoly must be the slogan Of
the party on this question; any
other position lis surrender. The
platforms of 1900 and 1904 declare
that private monopoly is indefen-
sible and intolerable, and this
declaration presents the issu upon
the trust question.
The party must continue It's de-
tense of the interests of the wage
earners; it must protect them from
the encroachments of capital. y
Mr.. Bryan is sanguine enough to
believe that all the reforms that he
favors will at once be endorsed by
any party platform, but he will pro :
ceed to point out the reforms which
he believes to be needed. Among
these may be mentioned the postal
telegraph system. state ownership Of
railroads, the election of federal
judges for fixed terms and the cleo
ton of postmasters by the people for
their respective comm unities. In
stead of having the government con-
trolled by corporations through
officers chosen by the corporations,
we must have d government of the
people, by the people and for the
people, a government administered
according to the Jeffersonian maxim
of equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. Hope and duty
point the way. To doubt the sue
cess of our cause is to doubt the
triumph of our right, for it is and
must be the cause Of the masses.
Withmalice toward none and cha r
ity for all let US begin the campaing
of 1908; let US appeal to the moral
sentiment of the country and arraign
the policies of the republican party
before the bar of public conscience.

MUSIC WAS NOT WANTED.
Bandmaster's Sudden and UnWelcome
Realization of the Fact.

A Philadelphia recently gave a
breakfast in John Phillip Sousa's
honor. AS the breakfast began a
stringed orchestra struck up, and Mr..
Sousa said with smile:
This music, striking up just now
reminds me of something that hap
pened on the frontier year ago.
"a noted European soldier was
spending several weeks on the front
Ter studying certain military questions
there, and whenever he dined at head
quarters the regimental band,to show
it's respect for him, voluntarily played.
DAY after day the foreigner messed
with the officers, and day after day. as
soon as he sat down, the admiring
band hurried to it's place and began to
toot.
"These little attentions the band
master went around explaining, are
what foreigners of first rank like.
They are used to them at home, and
if they didn't get them here they'd
feel that they were being sighted
"One evening, as the band was play
ing with great industry in the foreign
er's honor, the old man, at the end of
a rousing march, suddenly uttered an
oath that resounded through the room.
"'Perdition take that band!' he eX-
claimed in a thunderous voice. 1T al
ways begins it's noise just at the time
I'm sitting down to dinner and want to
talk
"Thereupon, the bandmasten, flush
ing, signaled to his men, and they all
trooped out silently with their instru-
ments and music books, not alto
gether complimented with the effect
of their strains"
