PORTLAND NEEDS HOTEL.
All the Present Places Are Filled to
Overlooking.

Not since the Lewis and Clark ex-
position have Portland hotels been so
crowded as they were last week. From
morning to night and from night to
morning hotel clerks have been driv-
en- to the limit with inquiries for
rooms which they did not have, saws
the Oregon Daily Journal. This con-
dition was not only true at the lead
ing hostelries, but extended down to
the smaller places where rooms rent
from so cents UP.
There are many reasons for the
crowded conditions, but hotel men
agree that the chief one is due to the
fact that Portland has not sufficient
hotel accommodations. She has but
Few more hotels now than In 1902
when the population of the CITY was
only about 10000. OF the new ones.
only one is really an hotel in the
sense that is usually associated with
a place for the accommodation of the
travelling public.
Guests Wishes Unobseryed.
With a population now bordering
on 100000 it is not surprising that
visitors to the city have to take what
accommodations they can secure
without regard to their wishes.
Another reason for the crowded
condition is due to the manner in
which tourists are spending their
time In the Rose city instead of San
francisco. In years gone by the Bay
city attracted and held thousands of
travellers who would spend several
weeks there and two or three davs
In Portland. Now the conditions are
reversed and because so many guests
spend several weeks in Portland in
stead Of several days, the congestion
at the hotels is all the greater.

children will be the feature of the
fiesta and on Friday the floral pa
rade will take place when two miles
of decorated automobiles, carriages,
bicycles, floats and other attractions,
will pass through the streets of
Portland.
Friday will be the fiesta day and
Portland will present spectacle oh
that day that has never been Witness
ed in the northwest before.
On Friday and Saturday sessions of
the Oregon Development league will
be held and many delegates from
every part of the state will be pres
ent at the meeting.
The rose carnival or fiesta will be
made an annual event in Portland
hereafter and within few years the
Oregon metropolis will rival Los An
geles or Pasadena for floral displays.
Portland people have cultivated
and raised roses this year for this
occasion and never before has the
Rose city so well deserved its name.

A story which reads like a chapter
the announcement that members OF a
walla Walla family are to share in an
estate valued now at $500, 900, 900 in
New York.
By some research among the musty
titles of the, past attorneys say they
have found that this family own an
interest in some of the most valuable
real estate in New York city and that
II will be possible to recover the prop

Word has been received that Mrs.

A. c. Kenworthy, who Is now In
New York fighting for the property,
has wired that success has crowned
his efforts and that the trust company
would settle for the $30O.0OO,OOO.

Salmon Run Is Light.

The salmon season on the sound
is proving very backward this year,
according to reports received from
Laconner and Skagit river, says a Sc
attic letter. The catch so far is not
25 per cent of what 1t was last year
at this time, and as result many of
the fishermen are greatly discouraged.
The run of the spring salmon is now
on. but scarcely any have been caught
in the traps. Three or four hundred
men are fishing in the neighborhood
of the above places and they have
caught practically nothing. The gill;
meters have the same story of Ill luck
to tell. If things do not look up soon,
1t is likely that n number will with
draw from the business.

O. r. & N. PAY CAR.
Old Method of Paying Employees VIII
Re Revived on the System.

Old MetTlOu VI Tusi"c
BE Revived on the system.
For the first time In almost ~
wears the o. R. & N. company VIII
run their pay car over the main ilne
this month for the purpose OF dis
tributing the pay checks of employees
instead of sending the checks TO tne
station agent for distribution as mas
been done during the past few years
The pay car was run over the
Washington division of the system
last month as an experiment and TINS
month the same car will be run over
the main line. 1t will pass through
Pendleton one day this week and Will
stop at every place where men are
employed for the purpose OF disburs-
ing the many checks issued monthly
by the company.
The car will run slowly over the
system and will stop wherever gang
of men Is working on the tracks TO
give out checks as well as at stations
and headquarters and the officials
are going to test the old method
thoroughly under present conditions.
The pay car system is not new on
on the o. r. & NJ, but has been sus-
pended for a number of years. When
the system was first operated back
in the early eighties, the pay car was
run over the line regularly and at
first the coin was distributed, the
car being a veritable treasury. This
was not long practiced, however, un-
til the check system was adopted
and finally the car was taken out of
service altogether and the checks
were sent out by express to the vari-
Gus agents along the line.

That Pacific coast industries will
benefit largely by increased facilities
provided on the Hartman lines to
avoid as far as possible a repetition Of
last years delays in freight movement,
is shown by information coming from
officials of these lines.
Last years enormous increase in de-
mands upon the carriers indicates
what this years requirements will be.
From a tonnage of 100000 in July,
1905, the southbound lumber move
ment alone on the Southern Pacific
state jumped to 73,4OO,OOO tons in
June, 1906, an increase Of S26 car
loads or 129 per cent.
The eastbound tonnage in the same
time increased from 100000 tons
to nearly 100000. This unprece-
dented gain of more than $4,000, 900
tons in a single commodity was re-
sponsible for delays that have occur
red in spite of arrangements made in
advance to handle an expected in
crease of the lumber business.
New freight car equipment on the
associated lines of the Union and
Southern Pacific and the Oregon
lines, delivered since last June and
ordered for delivery by the end of this
month, amounts to:
Total
New Cars. June 80
Union Pacific ..... 3,s52 1885
Oregon Short line. 2,200 1921
o. r. & N...... 500 3,2S2
Pacific System 80. 1883 2s,6S7
The increase in car capacity on the
Hartman lines on June 80 will be
$4,000 tons. This, with existing
equipment, gives these lines a total
freight car capacity of 2.720,776 tons.
New trackage and motive power have
kept pace with this increase In rolling
stock
The pooling arrangement in force
on these lines means that their cars
are "at home" anywhere on their rails
and equipment can be diverted from
one line to the other, wherever 1t Is
most needed. Last year the San
Francisco disaster complicated the
transportation problem on the Pacific
coast, and it was ma-fS still more diff
ficult to handle by the fact that east
ern lines were unable to furnish their
quota of equipment for business orig
mating in this territory.

English Country Gentlemen Lived
 We'll and Had Curious Customs.
 An account of hospitality in 1929 gives good Idea of the manner In which a country gentleman of the period lived. Dinner and supper were brought In by the servants with their hats on, custom which Is corrob- orated by Fynes Moryson. who says that being at knights house who had many servants to attend him they brought in the meats with their heads covered with blue caps. After wash. ing their hands In a basin they sat down to dinner and Sir James Pringle said grace.
 The viands seemed to have been plentiful and excellent, "big pottage, long kale, bow of white kale,' which Is cabbage; 'brach soppe," powdered beef, roast and boiled mutton, a veni. son pie in form of an egg. goose. Then they had cheese, cut and uncut, and apples. But the close of the feast was the most curious thing about It.
 The table cloth was removed and on the table were put towel the whole breadth of the table and half the length of 1t, basin and ever to wash. then a green carpet laaid on, then one cup of beer set on the carpet, then a little long lawn seryiter plaited over the cor ner of the table and a glass of hot wa. ter set down also on the table, then be there three boys to say grace, the first, the thanksgiving; the second, the batter noster; the third. prayer for a blessing of Gods church The good man of the house, his parents, kInfolk and the whole company then do drink hot water, so at supper. then to bed, the collation. which (is) 6 stoupe of all."- Scottish Review.

A bull terrier attacked him near the camp, and he was getting the worst of 1t when the she wolf ran to bis assistance, and between then they nearly killed the terrier.

CHARM OF THE CZARINA.
She Is a Beautiful Woman With .
 Winning Majesty of Presence.

She Is a Beautiful Woman With .
 Winning Majesty of Presence.
 The general appearance of the Czarlna may be fairly well known in this country, although fewer pictures have been published of her than any other crowned head. But no picture that I had seen gave any Idea of how she really looks seen thus face to face. Perhaps this may be for the reason that much of her beauty comes from ex- quisite coloring and that there Is about her a subtle charm impossible to pie ture and difficult to describe.
 She is very tall and very slender, yet most finely proportioned Her features are almost Greek in their reg. ularity and the natural expression of her face struck me at once as a sing ularly wistful and sweet sadness that never went quite away even when she smiled. Her hair Is strikingly beau. tiful and luxuriant, long, heavy, glossy and brown-gold In color. Her eyes are large, soft, lustrous gray-blue, with long lashcs, and I painted them cast down, as they nearly always are, for she Is shy and hardly ever looks up without a blush.
 Yet with all the Czarina's blushing shyness her bearing impressed me with sense of something much deeper and graver than mere admiration for beautiful, graceful woman. It Is difn- cult to define just what this impression was, but 1t may be termed majesty, for lack of subtler term, and the feel. ing of It increased during the entiro time that I was privileged to enter her presence, although no one could have been kinder or more simple In all that she said and did.-Century Magazine.

ONE LANGUAGE FOR ALL.


It Requires More than One Tongue
 for the Worlds Speech.
 No living language can become to- day the vehicle of intercourse for the whole civilized world, and It Is absurd to look for such a thing, says Me Cures. The acceptance of any lan- guage, were 1t English or French or Spanish. German or Dutch, Russian or Japanese, would immediately not only crush the pride of the other na- tlons but would give to the favored people such an enormous advantage in the central of the political world and such immeasurable preference in the worlds market that no healthy nation would consent to 1t before its down. fall.
 For that reason the chances were never worse; the spirit of strenuous, yet friendly, rivalry be- tween the nations ID the markets of the world was never more wide awake and the feeling of national honor was never purer and nobler. The more the hopes for international arbitration be- come realized, the more all nations of the world become sincere friends; the more they are eager and ought to be eager to keep clear their own indiyidu- ality, together with their own rights and duties, their own successes and responsibilities. Andrew Carnegie's lib- erality may build a palace in The Hague in which a concert of the most enlightened nations speaks justice through its tribunal. But Andrew Car negie has not the power to elevate his simplified spelling board In Madison avenue to the height of a tribunal far superior to any Hague court; a tri- bunal which shall decide that English ought to become the one international language, because the English-speaking nations have "the most progressive civ ilization"

Keen Your Blood Pure,

No one can be happy, light-hearted and healthy with body full of blood that cannot do its duty to every part because of Its impurity; therefore, the first and most important work in hand is to purify the blood so that every organ will get the full benefit of healthy circulation. There is no remedy we know of so good as tha. old family remedy, Brandreth's S Pills. Each pill contains one grain of the solid extract of sarsaparilla blended with two grains of combination of pure and mild vegetable products, making it a blood purifier unexcelled in character. One or two taken every night for awhile will produce surprising results.
 Brandrsth's Pills have been in use for over a century and are sold in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar coated
