SO must hasten to the Fair.
The first day we attended, Sept.
80, the crowd numbered $1,000
being Portland day.
The Fair was on smaller scale
than the St. Louis and thus gave
the people an opportunity of see
ing more. The best and most in
teresting exhibits were in the
Government, Forestry and Idaho
buildings. The Government
building was located on the pen
insula in Guilds lake. In one
wing of this building was the
Alaskan and Philippine exhibits.
Alaska presented some enormous
vegetables, but the Philippine ex
hibits were mostly hemp and ar
ticles made of fbers.
The only thing on exhibition
from the wealthy and productive
state of Colorado was a large
piece of quartz found in Gunnison
county. This was among the
mineral collection belonging to
the Smithsonian Institute.
| wish | might 60 on and de
scribe the exhibition in the Gov
ernment building alone. but time
will not permit.
The dead letter office collection
in the Post Office department was
laughable. In another wing of
this building was a most interest
ing feature, the fish hatchery,
where the different stages of the
salmon could be seen from the
egg, to the little fish learning to
swim, to the large salmon.
The fruit exhibit of the state of
Washington was much admired
by the crowds and was more like
the Colorado fruits.
One grand building was the
Forestry building, constructed
entirely of logs, except the roof,
length 206 feet, width 102 feet,
height - feet. Here were fine
exhibits OF native stuffed animals
and birds. Every variety OF
wood. Here a tree l73 years old
that had sprouted in the bark OF
a fallen Oxford cedar log 3O4
years old. The whole illustrating
the size. longevity and preserva
tive qualities of Oregon forestry
products.
The Fair grounds were one OF
the most beautiful features. The
bright flowers surrounding the
white statuary made many pret
ty picture. The statuarv repre-
sented western life, as The Cow
boys Hitting the Trail, The Cow
boy at Rest etc.
The street car service could not
have been better, yet it was un-
able to handle the crowds on the
big days many walking until
the early morning hours to reach
their homes.

um, where many an artist was en-
thusiastic over the beauty before
them, over 5000 pictures and
only two painted from the same
model, although many bore the
same name.

The lake has receded so far from
the bathing house. Immense beds
of salt surround the lake.
We then journeyed across the
vast plains of Utah and Idaho,
seeing little except sage brush
and sand. The only thing to
break the monotony of this was
the American Falls in the Snake
river and now and then a ferry
boat and fishing wheel. Finally
groves began to dot the prairies
here and there where irrigation

Upon awaking the next morn

distance and found the Columbia
nearing our course. AS we fol-
lowed it, it grew IN width and
beauty. AT first the shore is plain
and sandy, but the rocks and
boulders get larger and Indian
huts and wigwams are distributed
quite thickly along this part.

4 MOOdsman's Secret.


b. II. Mcclellan, a woodsman, died
Sunday at Root Brothers camp and was
buried in Eulalis cemetery by the coun-
ty commissioners yesterday. He was a
soldier of the Civil war, having been
color bearer in the Eleventh regiment,
Pa. Vol. Inf. He drew pension of $l2
per month, half of which goes to his wife.
Although the deceased had spent great
deal of time in this place and was we'll
known, he had never spoken to any one
of his family or even admitted that he
was married. When he was near to death
he was informed of his condition, and
was asked concerning his wife and rela-
tives, but he positively refused to give
any information concerning them, and it
was only after the most diligent search
that it was learned that his wife resides in
Lancaster, o., and from a Newspaper
found in his trunk il is thought he has a
son in Kellettville, Forest county.
Neither of them attended the funeral.
IIe evidently had secret which he car
ried to the grave. Deceased was 7S years
of age and was quiet and law-abiding
citizen and well-liked by those who
knew him.-Potter County Enterprise.

No Patent on Oil Sprinkled Roads.

At Los Angeles, Cal, Judge Wellborn,
after a hotly contested and searching
trial. decided in November that the use
of oil on roads to lay dust was not pat
entable and that therefore those California
towns and municipalities which had used
crude oil for that purpose could not be
made to pay royalties.
A New Jersey company called the
Dustless Roads Company had brought
suit against the town of Redlands to re-
cover damages and royalties for infringe
ment of its alleged patent. The case came
to trial last month resulting in the COM
pany's defeat. Had it succeeded in Sc
curing favorable verdictft would have
cost the Pacific coast towns thousands of
dollars for damages and an unknown
amount for future roy yalties. Further,
had the company won out in California it
would have given it a foothold for suits
wherever oil was used on the streets.
And this, while of immediate vital i'm
portance to the people in the west, there
might come time when we of the east
would be put on the defensive.
Judge Wellborn in his opinion used
the following language:
"After hearing all the evidence In the
case, am now satisfied that the .alleg9d
d discovery of Mr.. Mattern was not pat
entable. The monopoly claimed under
this patent, fairly conStrud in my judg-
ment is an exclusive right to the use of
oil-confine it, if you will, to aspha!tic
oils, California oils, or other asphaltic
ois-when applied to the surface of
road; or, more generally stated, 1t is a
monopoly over a natural product when
used for a given purpose, and therefore
falls within the denunciatiOn of the Su-
preme Court in tho O'Rielly case in the
18th Howard"
The learned judge goes on to cite the
use of oil in Pennsylvania and in Rus
sis as we'll as in California long before
Mr.. Mattern applied for his patent, and
he therefore unqualitiedly declares the
patent invalid.
The Tidioute News states this case has
local interest from the fact that many of
our people met Capt. j. d. Fredericks,
brother of Mrs. s. f. Marks, who with
his wife visited Tidioute last February.
The Captain is District Attorney of Los
Angeles county, and the purpose of his
visit east was to secure evidence in the
case noted above.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICO, Jan. 2.-The Chico electric
railway was opened to the public to-
day. the occasion being made one of spe-
cial moment by the company through
the issuance Of souvenir tickets en-
titling the holder to q trip over the en-
tire system, concluding with admission
to dance given by the company in
the immense planning mill of the Dia-
mond Match Company at Barber. Be-
ing a holiday nearly the entire popula-
ton Of this city and suburbs availed
themselves Of the opportunity, and the
cars we're crowded from the initial trip
to late at night.
The opening Of this road is deeply
significant to the people of this commu-
nifty from the fact that in it's equip
ment 1t compasses all the essentials of
the interurban roads of Southern Cali
fornia far beyond any needs for the
traffic of this section. The road Is con-
structed in the most substantial man
ner Its rolling stock is massive and
of the most modern design. 1t is gem
orally believed that the near future will
witness the roads extension or connec-
tion with an important system which
will open up a new and convenient
route to San Francisco.
The road at present has a length of
4.9 miles, from Barber the seat of the
Diamond Match Company's plant, to
Sandy Gulch, two miles north of Chico,
traversing the principal streets of this
city and its principal suburbs. The
principal owners are the officers of the
Diamond Match Company.

AN ABLE ALLY

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Jan. g.
Emperor Francis Joseph, King of Hun
gary. arrived here this evening. He
was met at the station by a great
crowd, which gave him an enthusiastic
New Years welcome. The King will
read the speech from the throne before
the members of Parliament on Wednes-
day. 4
Count Albert Apponyi said tonight
that tomorrow he would formally
throw his lot with the Independent
party, whose president is Francis Kos
suth. The news doubtless will cause
a great sensation in political circles
here, as rumors Of the Counts intention
have not been taken seriously, but
only as a threat To the Independent
party the accession of a politician of
the prominence and experience of
Count Apponyi will be great gain.
He will take with him the members of
the National party, numbering about
twenty, and is likely to assume the
position of leader in the Chamber of
Deputies, while Herr Kossuth remains
president of the Independent party,
Politicians regard Count Apponyi's
action as a probable death blow to his
political prospects, destroying forever
his hope Of becoming president Of the
Council.

tween DR.. /. N. w. Irvine, the deposed

HONOLULU, Dec. Pin Governor
Carter's annual report is incorporated
paper on the coffee industry of Ha-
waii. prepared by William w. Bruner.
Bruner attacks the commisary de-
partment of the army in San Francis
co. He saws:
AS a matter of fact the commissary depart
ment of the army In San Francisco. in its
specifications for coffee to be supplied to IL.
Use OF Hawaiian coffee. The specifications call
for samples Of various cofYees. including Ha-
waiian. which may all be blended except the
sample of Hawaiian coffee. which cannot be
blended This absolutely prevents the of
Hawaiian coffee. for It is high grade coffee
and certainly cannot compete with similar
grades OF other coffees which have the privi-
lege of being blended with cheaper coffees.
This Is rank discrimination against Hawaiian
coffee by an important Government Department
In fact. to be fair to the Hawaiian producer,
as San Francisco is the principal market for
samples which must contain not less than 80
per cent Hawaiian coffee. While there has
been in Porto Rico and to some extent here, a
demand that the Federal Government should
help the coffee producers in way. either
by bounty protection they at least might
hope to secure the support Of the Government
by the use of only American coffee in the army
and navy.
The Hawaiian and Porto Rican coffee grow
are injured in the market which belongs to
them by reason Of the immense amounts of
low grade coffees imported. The competition
with the superior grades they and should
stand. Eliminate the poorer grades of coffee
and triage and prohibit their Importation by an
act similar to the tea inspection act of 1897
and the American consumer will get good coffee
nolens volens and do the most possible good to
the producer Of good coffee everywhere
Secretary Atkinson of Hawaii, who is
now in Washington, has taken up this
subject Jointly with Governor Win
throp of Porto Rico, and the War De-
partment has promised that fairer
treatment shall in future be accorded
the coffee growers in Hawaii and Porto
Rico.
