A grand patriotic demon stration is expected on that day and both city and Carnival "will be turned over to the National guards. General O. Summers is grand marshal of the parade, and he Is making every effort to arrange for a grand display of the Army force. "I hope that the people will help me," said he last night. "This ought to ho one of the most patriotic days that we have had for a long" time. This Is the Army that -we talk so much about, and it will be out in full force. I hope that all the business men will dis play "flags, especially along the line of march. We mint every flag in the city to fly In a prominent place.

"But two men in the -world have suc cessfully accomplished the feat of looping the loop," said H. W. Cooper, who started John Larsen Saturday night when ho made his unsuccessful try- "Larsen is one of these, and' the other one is now- in a hospital in England as the result of his last attempt. His name ia Vandervoort, more commonly known as Dlavolo." "The flrst time that I ever tried It, said Larsen in response to a question, "was the 4th of last June at the Elks Carnival in Minneapolis." "No, I didn't make it the flrst time nor the second either, although I was not hurt either time. The third time thatLI tried it I made the loop.S I have made in all 10 attempts and have made the ride successfully six times. "Describe the feeling? No living man can do that The only possible way to get any conception of the feeling Is to make the ride." "How did you get started to riding the loop?" he was aeked. "Did you gradually work up to it?" "That is the worst of it," said he. "There is no way to work up to it. There is no way to practice. Every time you try it is Just as dangerous as when the feat is to bo performed and the only way to get started is to go to the top of the incline and start. "Yes, there are a great number of peo ple 'try to loop-the-loop, butthere are but few that ever try it a eecond time. A man from New York, named Hamilton, tried it the eecond time, but not the third. There has never been a man killed on this loop, although there have been a number of them hurt badly. The worst that I have been hurt was in my last attempt at Winnipeg. My handle-bars broke Just as I was starting into the loop. I made the ride by chance, but as I came out of the loop I could notcontrol my wheel, and it Jumped back Into tho flrst track. I was thrown against the side and the force of my fall was so great that my head and shoulders crashed through the timbers. My shoulder was broken and my arm badly sprained. I have had some very bad falls, but have been very fortunate." "Yes, said Cooper, "he falls the hard est ana is nurt the least of any that try the ride." H. W. Cooper Is one of the Cycle Dazzle riders that attract so much applause for their daring feats on the little track standing at an angle of 78 degrees with the floor. He has started all the men that have tried tho loop on Jabour's ap paratus, and in speaking of Larsen g rlde- ing last night, said: "Much of his success depends upon his great nerve. Most of tho riders wait and hesitate before they start, but he la eager to be off as soon as he is on his wheel. Tho longer they wait at tho top the more nervous they get" John Larsen, aged 22, was born and raised in Minneapolis. His father and mother were Scandinavians. In 1897 he went on the track as a bicyclo rider and made some good records. He holds tho National record for the 50-mile road race, which he made at tho rate of 2:13 a. mile. and also the state record on the 100-mile race, which he made at 4:i a mile. ONE ASPECT OF CRIMPING. Seamen and Jurisdiction Anneal Strongly to the Leffal 3IInd. PORTLAND, Sept 5. (To the Editor.) I notice a letter in today's Oreeonlan rrom iir. James Laldlaw. British Consul. in which he expresses regret at the tenpr or certain articles published In your na- per relative to sailors' abuses at this port i suppose it is not strange, as we hu manely are prone to view things differ ently, that I felt glad, when reading the articles -referred to, one influential per son at least had taken the trouble to Investigate and inform himself on this subject, and had the courage to publish his conclusions arrived at therein: also. that the sailors coming to this port were iortunate in having some ono to cham pion their cause. The apparent sole regret of Mr. Laldlaw appears to be that seamen's waues are higher here than elsewhere and that it costs the owners of vessels more to pro cure tneir crews. Permit me to say that l regard such a state of things as a trib ute to Oregon, rather than otherwise, for it at least goes to prove that this is better place than anywhere else for laboring man to make a living, and hence. Deyona doubt, the best place for sailors. Mr. Laldlaw also Eays that Sa is a rea sonable sum to be paid for procuring men in San Francisco. Who shall say that $60 or J100 Is not a reasonable sum to be paid in jf ortiana, in view of the great demand here for men to labqr at ?2 per -day, as evidenced. Dy advertisements for such service dally appearing in the Portland papers7 Mr. Laldlaw again states that if the boarding-house men and captains are in collusion In bringing about desertions, and it can be proven, it is not desertion. This is true. But who wants to prove It? Not the parties in collusion certainly. The sailor is the only man who can do this. out ior mm it is impossible. The Con suls would not believe the sailor in oppo sition to tne captain. Sailors are invari ably Informed by the longshoremen in this port that it is of no use to see their Consul, no matter what their grievance or complajnt may be; in fact, all sailors Know or this condition of affairs long before arriving here. In conclusion, I will say with Mr. Lald law, that I Indulge the hope that the time win come when the sailor will be able to free himself from the domination of all persons, be they crimps. Consuls or ship masters, ana De so situated that he can command a fair and Just proportion of tne earnings of the ship on which he sails, and also have something to say about the kind and quality of the food with which he Is furnished; also that the courts of this country will take Jurisdic tion of all maritime cases on all Bhlps coming into this port In my opinion, it would be better for the sailors coming to American ports, if mere were a Humvan ana Grant" com bination in every port of this United States.

VIEW THE FAIR SITE Crowds Inspect the Willam ette Heights Location. SOME UNABLE TO FIND IT When Once Seen Visitors Are Im pressed With Its Fitness It Offers Many Scenic Advantages and Is Easily Reached. Many people visited the Fair site yes terday. Some of them did not Know just where the site was in fact, a large num ber did not and spent their time making both favorable and adverse comments. If they had studied the map in Saturday s Oregonlan they would have known Just where the lines of the location ran. It's down there in the flat" spoke up one whose weighty knowledge made him light-headed. "I've cot a picture of a Fair down there where the water can wash all over it when the river rises." "No. it isn't" interjected another equal ly wise brother, "it's up on the hillway un there." and he aired his hand toward tho hills. "I've got a tintype oi tne r air up there. People have to use stilts to reach it" "You're both wrong," put in the humble auditor, who didn't know any m3re than where the site actually was. "It's neither down In the flat nor up on the hills." And then he pointed out the location, showing the variations of ground whlcn tho several parts of the site offered. "See that beautiful grove?" he remarked. "Well, that's on the site. See those fer tile Chinese gardens? They're also on the site. See that ground which retreats slow ly from the lake until It reaches the top of the knoll. 120 feet above the river? And the neck of land out in the lake, clad In its varied hues of green and yellow? And the carpet of green that creeps down to the edge of the lake and dips beneath the water? And the beautiful trees that shel ter the elevated part of the site? And the panorama of hills forming the background to the westward, and of snow-clad peaks looming up to the eastward and north ward? Doesn't it all open a fine pros pect?" Yes; everybody admitted that it did. This Is not the season of year when the site shows off to Its best advantage. The long dry-weather period has made the herbage brown and sear in many places Grass and trees and shrubs are begrimed with Summer's dust, awaiting the advent of Autumn's rain to wash them clean and give them renewed life. The lake Is at its low stage of water, so that" its true plc turesqueness does not show to full ad vantage. But in spite of all these bedlm mlng spots on the beauty of the site, the location Impresses with Its fitness. Here are directions for reaching the site: Take the Washington-street car that runs down Twenty-third and up Thurman. At Twenty-eighth and Thurman streets leave the car and turn to the right Immediate ly in front of you will be a grove of tall flr trees. This is the highest point on the site. From this point the grounds slope down northward until they reach the lake. The graveled road which leads down to the St. Helens road, on the edge of the lake. Is In the site. It will be closed and a road to take its place will be opened to the westward along the west edge of the site, over the Chinese gardens. Part of these gardens are in the Fair grounds The southern and western lines of .the site run on the lake side of Chapman School. The crematory is not as serious a draw back as some people suppose. Its vicinity Is loaded with noisome odors, to be sure. but the crematory is 1000 feet northeast of the site. The prevailing winds at Port land are from the southwest and north west and all blow the odors away from the site. Northwest winds, that might cause annoyance, are extremely rare. From the Fair grounds only tho tall brick chimney of the crematory in visible, no umur pari oi lu Several North Portland people said yes terday that the location of the Fair near them rejoiced them, because it would offer a good excuse for moving tho crematory away, "it could be moved cheaply." said one of them. "The city Is growing in this direction, and the perfume shops, even if they will not scatter their odors over tho Fair, should be moved out of consid eration of us who live in North Portland. NOTED TRAVELER HERE. Dr. Adolphns T. Keckeler In Port land cn Route to Alaska. Dr. Adolphus T. Keckeler. the famous scientist and traveler. Is In Portland for a few days while onJil3 way to Alaska wnere hei Intends to measure the move ments of the Muir glacier. Dr. Keckeler is a man who during the 60 odd years of his eventful llfo has traveled In almost every country under the sun. and has met some of the most notable people of the last half century. A man Interested In many lines of research, he speaks of the clay-eaters of the Tyrol In the same breath that he tells of his presence at tne start of Andree's Ill-fated balloon voyage to the north polo. He Is now on nis tnird trip around the world, and speaks as familiarly of further India Constantinople or Iceland as- a less traveled poison does of the cities of his own country. I am a cosmopolitan," ho soys. "The world Is my home, and to do good my re ligion. " After making a scientific examination of the Alaska glaciers, he will go by way of Honolulu to Japan, where he has been asked to lecture before the professors of the Imperial University at Tokio. He has written a number of books on scl entlfic and metaphysical subjects and Is deeply interested in the innermost work ings of the human brain and mentalphe nomenn. j.ne lamous scientist is a man one would at once notice in a crowd. He is a large and heavily-built person whose massive head Is crowned by a wealth or snowy hair flowing back from a high broad forehead. Though well past 60 years of age, he preserves a hale and active appearance, and his intellectual face is quite without a wrinkle. His eyes aro keen, kindly and far-seelnsr. "My purposo in traveling in this way is to make scientific Investigations, and to jsiuoy tne people or tne various coun tries and the conditions under which they live." he said yesterday at thp. hotel "I go where I please and do what i please, and though I've been at It most of my life, the old man isn't dead yet and I'll keep at It until I die, I expect This is my third trip around the world and I've crossed the Atlantic 62 times.' During their lives he enjoyed a personal friendship with Georgo Eliot Dickens and Longfellow. "I spent a whole Winter in Florence with tho Brownings," he said. ie nas discussed scientific prob lems with Darwin, Huxley and other men of their caliber, and was made member of the Order of the Red Eagle for a work which he read in Germany. Psychology, ethnology, geology are all familiar subjects to Dr. Keckeler. He is interested In theosophy and expects to find tho Mahatmas of India a source or information. It is no discomfort for him to travel and mix with strange peoples for he is versed In seven languages, in eluding Sanskrit The North American Indian dialects are of the greatest inter est to him. He is now compiling a vol ume on "The Tangibility of Thought which he hopes to publish next year. Dr. Keckeler is a most patriotic Ameri can, and when the band struck up "The k Star-Spangled Banner" last evening he was the flrst to rise with uncovered head. Cincinnati he claims as his homo but Kentucky as his birthplace. In his years of travel he has picked up many valuable curiosities. Among them is a pair of cuff buttons made from pieces of onyx which he found in one of the pyramids. 'J.ne onyx was probably cut some 7000 years ago. Dr. Keckeler was in command or .a Nansen rescue expedition come years ago. The vessel was caught in an ice floe and he remained on deck for three days. "Five whales were imprisoned in the ice near us and every tnoe iney spouted we were drenched. I have never fully recovered from that experience." he said when telling the story. Dr. Keck eler will remain In Portland until -rues- day or Wednesday, whefl he will leave for Alaska by way of Seattle. WILL CLOSE FREE BATHS Swimming Season Will Come to an End September 15. It la estimated that 110.000 persons, men. women and children, have taken a swim at the Portland public baths since tne ume it was opened, Juno 18, until last night About 1200 persons who did not previously know how to swim, learned the art at the baths this season. There are no serious accidents to record, and no doubt necause of the Institution of tho public baths not one person has been drowned while swim ming in the river witmn tne city nmiia this season. The baths close September 15, on which day they will be open for women and girls from 3:30 until o o ciock P. M. On that occasion women and girls are asked to bring their own personal bathins: suits, as the suits in use at the bathhouse will at that time be packed ud. A day or two afterward the baths will be towed to Winter quarters, where they will be safe from the Inclemency of the weather. The business affairs of the baths have been exceedingly well looked after by the board of management, the two worxers who hai'e spent most of their time in tnis department being Edward Holman and L. Samuel. Credit Is also due to the super intendent of the baths, W. L. Murray, who has been ably assisted by his wife. Tho baths have been run at a profit, a record rarely excelled by similar institu tions. It was difficult to get at the exact figures last night, as the bath-house books could not be conveniently examined, but it is estimated that the bath-house has cost all told $4300. The subscriptions amounted to $4390, and the revenue re ceived since tho house was started amounts to $700. The expenditures during thle period aro 5700, and tne money in hand after all accounts are -paid Is es timated to be $500. The largest receipts taken in one day have been $33.50, and the lowest $2.60. "It's great The bath-house has done more to make boys and girls more healthy than anything we know of. One of the best things ever done in Portland," are some of the opinions of fathers and moth ers, whose children have liberally used the bath-house. "Swimming In the bath house has cured my rheumatism," stated one mother, recently. Only ono objection was met with that the bath-house was too small for the swarms of boys who crowded Into it Just when schools were dismissed for the season, during the ex cesslvely warm weather. Next year, how ever, it Is hoped this fault will be reme died, and that sufficient funds will be collected to build a new tank 100 feet long by 30 feet wide, and it Is planned to have this new tank open continuously from ear ly in the morning until late at night for beginners. It will be shallow throughout and it will be especially built for the ac commodation of those who cannot for business reasons visit the bath at the regular schedule hours. Girls and women will also be admitted to this tank, after the boys are dismissed for the day. Interesting to relate, women and girls were shy at flrst In visiting the bath house, but as they gained confidence they became regular patrons. Women chap erons took parties of young girls over, and taught them how to swim, and these and other family social occasions were much enjoyed. Gifts of bathing suits, etc have recently been received from J. Thor burn Ross, E. Quackenbush and C. W Nottingham, for which the management is obliged. When the bath-house closes for the season, itemized financial state "ments will bo made out showing how the accounts stand. HELP THE STATE FAIR. Correspondent Urges Co-operation of Representative Business Men. FARMINGTON, Ore., Sept 7. (To the Editor.) There is quite an interest taken in our Lewis and Clark Centennial Expo sltion, which surely is an effort in the right direction. For with our Immense resources and splendid soil and climate it will be of unestlmable value to the world at large to. be made asqualnted with, but In order to show our resources to tho best possible advantage In 190 it would be a step in the right direction for the business men of the state to glv ther hearty support and encouragement by their presence at our State Fair. As far back as the early '70s, by tho muni ficence of the late W. S. Ladd and S. G. Reed, the people have had the opportunity to see the choicest specimens of tho most important breeds of horses, cattlo, hogs and sheep the world possessed, but partly through their efforts In that direction, and partly through the advent of enterprising stockmen in our midst, a3 well as a good managing board of directors of the State Agricultural Association, the people of Oregon who attended lost year had the pleasure of seeing as good as tho world possessed in fine stock and' agricultural products, but the exhibitors received poor encouragement from the business or rep resentatlve men of the state on account of their absence. Napoleon III of France brought the stock and agriculture of France to high plane by his oncouragement and often have thought that the world owes much to him for the possible possession of Rosa Bonheur's famous picture, "The Horse Fair." Every American lady and gentleman who stands by the awarding ring1 and encourages the exhibitor by their presence is helping along the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and also the resources of our state. THOMAS WITHTCOMBE. PHILIPPINES AT ST. LOUIS To Make Exhibit That Will Occupy Forty Acres. NEW YORK. Sept 7. Governor Taft of the Philippine Islands, has appointed Dr. William H. Wilson, of Philadelphia. Spe cial Commissioner to represent the Philip pine Government in the preparation of the extensive exhibit which Governor Taft intends to make at the St Louis Expos! tlon of 1904. The government of the Phil lpplnes will participate In the exposition on a large scale. In order adequately to demonstrate the natural resources of the islands and present to the world evidences of the promised Importance of these new possessions. The exhibit will occupy 40 acres, and over $500,000 has already been appropriated for it Dr. Wilson Is at pres ent director of the Philadelphia Museum. He has appointed Dr. Gustav NIederlein to take charge of the promotion, collection and installation of the exhibit Dr. NIe derlein represented the Argentine Republic at tho Paris Exposition of 1SS9, and the Chicago Exposition of 1S93. He has been connected in a scientific capacity with nearly every exposition held during the past 20 years. Dr. NIederlein will sail for the Philippines In about two weeks. PORTLAND-CHICAGO.

Meier & Frank Company REALTY MARKET STEADY LARGEST SINGLE TRANSACTION IS THE COHX PURCHASE. Selection of Fair Site Booms North Portland Property Commercial Club Makes Improvements. Real Estate Transfers. Tuesday - 15,871 Wednesday j 9.10G Thursday - '8. 438 Friday 23.218 Saturday 5u.o73 Total $112,220 Building Permits. Tuesday I $2,500 Wednesday 10,200 Thursday 6.070 Friday 13.450 Saturday 6.400 Total .$33,620 The largest single realty transaction of the week was the purchase of the south west quarter block at Tenth and Wash ington streets, by S. Morton Cohn, the proprietor of the Transcontinental Ma chine Company, the former owners being Mrs. R. w. Baxter and Mrs. J? u. uown- lntr. and the consideration $30,000. It has been rumored on the streets that the pur chaser intends building a theater upon the property, but when asked about this Mr. Cohn said: "I have not at present ae clded to place a theater upon that prop erty, but If somebody comes along and makes me a good proposition on good se curity, I will put up a theater tnere ior him. The property Is right in tne line of progress up Washington street, and though I have been told that I was a fool to nav such a high price, yet I think it will be a good Investment in time, Judg-J ing from the present outlook for property on that street, l aon t snow j ci I will build there, DUt x wm put up a theater or anything else that will be a good Investment." A number of other rumors are rue con cerning the erection of one or more theaters, but nothing seems definitely settled as yet. Now that the Guild's Lake site ior tne 1905 Fair has been selected there has been an immediate increase in the demand and price of property in that part of town. Every piece of available property wm soon be bought up by eager speculators who foresee the advantage of boarding and lodging houses in the vicinity of the Exposition. It may surprise many people to learn that there is very little real estate in that neighborhood now on the market, as the lots In several of the largest tracts have been sold. In the Immediate vicinity of Guild's Lake, however, there Is con siderable land which has never been plat ted, and no doubt, new additions- will quickly be laid out. H. W. Corbett. R. D. Inman, T. J. Cottltf and Labella Nealand are among the owners of property of this description. Much of the ground will require draining and much Improvement before It Is fit for building, but once tho Fair Is assured at that location and no obstacles will stand In tho way of those owning land which might thus be con verted Into valuable corner lots. The situation of the Exposition at that end of the city will doubtless have an invigorating effect upon all North Port land holdings. Owners of property near other proposed sites are naturally dlsap pointed at the committee's decision, but agents of houses and lots in the northern section of the city openly rejoice. Notwithstanding the fact that this Is generally conceded to be an unpropltlous season for building, the building permits for last Friday. Including only four items, amounted to $13,450. The improvements being instituted by tho Commercial Club for more adequate accommodations on the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce building are now taking shape. All the rented offices on that floor were vacated some time ago and the partitions have now been taken out preparatory to a general remodeling of the club rooms according to a definite plan accepted by the organization. Prob ably $12,000 will be expended by the club before the new rooms are completed and ready for occupancy. The demand for desirable houses for rent still continues. The September in flux of returning families from the beach and country Is now well under way and many have to bo satisfied with houses not entirely to their liking. Altogether there Is an unusually bright outlook for a lively realty market for the remaining months of this year, for many Investors who have been holding back until the Fair site was selected will now proceed with their purchases.
