lb THE MORNING OREGOXJAN, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 1903. WILL SPEED FI Active Exposition Work Begins at Once. BOARD TO ADOPT PLANS State Commissioners Meet With Directors. TO NAME A DIRECTOR-GENERAL Executive Committee Jm Instructed, to Make Selection unci Appoint Su perlntendent of (3 round, Who Shall Start. Work at Once. Steps tvero taken yesterday for Retting actively at work on the Lewis and Clark Fair. A resolution declaring the whole plan of conduct for the Institution was referred by the board of directors to the executive committee with Instructions to report upon It within ten days.- (The same committee was directed to select at the same tlmo a director-general. Finally, the committee was Instructed to "employ temporarily a superintendent of grounds, who should at once enter upon the work of preparing the Exposition grounds" for use In 1905. The need for Immediate action was deemed so great that the committee was directed to make special speed with this part of the business. To this end Chairman II. W. Scott at once set a meet ing of the committee for 2 P. M. today and invited all the members of the state commission to the conference. It was the regular monthly meeting of the Lewis and Clark board of directors, and Uierc were present: President Corbett and Directors J. C Ainsworth. G. W. Bates. A. II. Devers. F. Dresser, W. D. Fenton. Charles E. Ladd. Rufus Mallory. J. F. O'Shca, J. H. Raley. H. W. Scott. W. D. Wheelwright, P. L. Willis and Adolph Wolfe, of Portland: J. C Cooper, of McMlnnvllle. Members of the State Commission were present as follows: J. 1L Albert, of Salem: Frank Williams, of Ashland; Richard Scott, of Milwaukle: Professor F. G. Young, of Eugene, and W. E. Thomas, J. C. Flanders, Dav Raffety, F. A. Spencer, W. E. Thomas, of Port land, and Jefferson Myers, of Salem. President Corbett, on taking the chair, said the members of the State Commission had been invited to be present at this con ference in order to get acquainted with the members of the board and the work before It. He also said in reference to the $50,000 subscription of the railroad compa nies, which was conditioned upon at least $730,000 being raised in the State of Ore gon, from all sources, that he had taken the matter up with Mr. Cotton, attorney lor the O. JR. & N. Co., and expected to get it closed and the assessment promptly paid. The second assessment of 15 per cent on all the stock will be due March I. Plan for the Exposition. Director Wolfe submitted the following resolution: Resolved, That It la essential that this com pany devise, as soon as practicable, a plan embracing- the scope and general execution ot the Jwis and Clark Centennial Exposition to be held at Portland in ltKC The adoption of said plan shall be proceeded with in the following manner: First There shall be a pre-Ei position period and an Exposition period. As coon as the Ex position grounds shall have been surveyed -and laid out, they, shall be inclosed with a perma nent fence which shall be constructed in a manner satisfactory to the committee on grounds and buildings. During the p re-Ex posi tion period said committee may. In Its discre tion, permit the admittance of visitors to the grounds upon the payment ot the admission fee fixed by the committee on ways and means, and It may also grant temporary privileges and concessions upon the payment of the compensa tion fixed by the committee on concessions and privileges. The pre-Exposltlon period shall be the time from the lnclosure of the grounds until ADril SO. 1003. both dates Inclusive, and the. Exposition period shall be the time from May 1, 1905, to November 1, 1935, both date Inclusive. -Second The committee on ways and means shall fix the price at which tickets ot admission to the Exposition grounds shall be sold, both during the pre-Exposltlon period and the Ex position period, and it may. It It deem, adrlsa- ble, fix a different price of admission for ex traordlnary occasions, such as special days, children's days, etc The committee, shall pre pare and submit an estimate of the probable number of paid admissions to the Exposition and of the approximate total revenue to be de rived .from this source. Third The committee on concessions and privileges shall determine the charge which shall be made for concessions and privileges and ehall prepare and submit a statement ot .probable revenue from this source. Fourth The committee on exhibits, transpor tation, rules and regulations shall determine what charge. If any, shall be made for exhibit space. If a charge shall be decided upon, the committee shall prepare and submit an estimate of the probable revenue from this source. . Fifth Each standing committee shall prepare ana ssnmit in writing to the committee on finance and supplies an approximate estimate of the amount ot money It will require to carry cn lis wont, until- uie close of the 'Exposition. Including the amounts that have been expended under Its. direction to date. Upon receipt ot such estimates, which shall be submitted on or before April 13. 1903, the committee on finance and supplies shall forthwith proceed to shape the company's financial policy and apportion Its funds. The committee shall prepare (a re port showing, among other things, an approxi mate estimate of the total receipts of the Ex position company from all sources and an ap proximate estimate ot aggregate expenditures. Sixth After having shaped the company's financial policy and apportioned Its funds, the committee on finance and supplies shall make a report In writing to the executive committee. -which shall thereupon adopt the general plan and scope of the Exposition ana submit the same to the board ot directors for ratification. The executive committee Is hereby required to create out ot the funds oft this company to be derived from stock subscriptions, donations, ad missions,, concessions and all other sources, a fun5 ot not less than 1130,000, nor mors than ssumouu. to De Known as tne reserve runa. which shall be .maintained for the purpose ot guarding against deficiencies, and which shall be available at all times to meet the obligations of the company. If, In the month of October, 1905, It shall appear to the satisfaction -ot the. executive committee that this company will be' able to meet ail ot Its obligations at their full face value, the executive committee shall pro ceed to dispose or the reserve fund as follows .It may make any use of the reserve fund. In whole or In part. In any manner permissible under article 3 of the articles of Incorporation of this company: or It may devote the reserve fund. In whole or In part, to the Lewis and Clark memorial building, provided for In section 7 of the act approved by the Governor of Ore son. January 30. 1903. and entitled "An act to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the explora tion ot the Oregon Country." etc; or. It may preserve the reserve fund Intact to the end 'of the Exposition and Include It among the assets , of the company In the final report ot the board ot directors to the stockholder. Seventh The executive committee shall sub mit the plan and scope of the Exposition on or before May 22. 1803. to the board of directors for approval. Not later than June 1. 1903. the board ot directors shall submit the plan and acope of the Exposition to the Lewis and. Clark Centennial Exposition Commission for the ap proval of said commission, as provided In sec tion 8 ot an act approved by the Governor of Oregon. January 30. 1903. and entitled "An act to celebrate the 100th anniversary ot the ex ploration of the Oregon Country," etc Director Fenton was at once on his feet with the suggestion that to leave the ques tion of a Lewis and Clark memorial build ing to be settled at the end of the Fair wpuld deprive the Exposition of the use of that structure, while his idea was that such building should be one of the features of the Exposition. He thought a structure that nhould at least make a creditable wing.of a memorial building to cost In all perhaps JXO.000 ought to be erected for the Fair, Congress being expected to provide the remainder of the money necessary for its completion. Mr. Fenton moved that the resolution go to a special committee of five directors and two members of the State Commission. In support of his resolution Mr. Wolfe said he had offered It more as a notice that It was high time to get to work on the fair grounds than In the expectation that it would pass In Its present form. He did not doubt that nome of its features might be bettered, and he was willing that It should be referred. Touching the pre-Ex- posltion period mentioned in the resolu tion, he said such a, term was observed at the San Francisco Midwinter Fair and it yielded something more than $24,000 of income. Director Wheelwright moved to amend Mr. Fenton's motion by sending the reso lution to the executive committee with Instructions to report within 10 days, and the amendment carried. More for Dlrector-fSenernl. Director Fenton thought the adoption ot TO REPAIR CITY JAIL ARCHITECT IS PLANMXG TUB RBNOVATIOX. Filthy, Geriu-Breedinjr Strnctnro Will Be Transformed Into rt Mod ern Sanitary IlatldlnR. That the filthy old city Jail may be en tirely renovated a local architect Is now making estimates that If followed out will transform "the rotten structure Into a modern and sanitary building. The en tire Interior Is to bo taken out. the germ laden lumber burned, and the inside ar ranged on a different plan. Suitable cells will be provided for different classes of offenders, so that those held for evidence or against whom no crime has been proved may not be forced to keep company with the hobos and morphine fiends who occupy cells at all times. The present walls will not be disturbed, for the alterations will be made entlrcly ln the Interior, nor will the roof be raised to give moro mpace. Additional room can be made by raising the celling of the lower story and taking this space from the courtroom, which Is unneces narlly high. The Executive Committee referred the matter of an improved city Jail to the CLIFF-DWELLERS IN EASTERN OREGON The Sunday Orrgonlan tomorrow will publish an article of exceeding Interest on the cliff dwellers of Central Oregon. It Is from the pen ot J. II. Gallagher, a mining expert, who visited the caves In Crook County a few weeks ago and made a serieii of photographs, which have been reproduced and will be published with the article. Mr. Gallagher holds to the theory that these cliff dwellers came from Asia before the "bridge" at Ilehrlng Pea was destroyed, and that these caves are the outposts of a crude civilization which advanced In later years to Arizona and Xcw Mexico. a plan of action so Intimately related to the question of a director-genera that such official ought to be selected by the 1 committee while It had the programme under consideration, and he moved that the committee select a director-general for the Exposition and submit Its choice to I the board. Commissioner J. II. Albert called atten tion to some of the provisions of the new Lewis and Clark law. and discussed briefly the relations of the State Commission and the board of directors of the corpora tion. He concluded that each body had its functions clearly indicated In the law. and that, while close co-operation was con templated, there was no amalgamation. Upon the matter of building. Mr. Albert suggested that due attention be given to the possibility of using materials of the Exposition structures after the Fair should be ended, thus wiving a large item of ex pense or admitting of the use ot much bet ter buildlnga for tho same net cost. He referred to the Crystal Palace, In London, which, after Its use as an exposition build ing, was sold for more than half the orig inal cost. He deemed this method prefer able to the construction of cheap buildings which must be utterly thrown away after the Fair. The motion for the committee to select the director-general was adopted. Authority was given the committee on legislation to draw $M0 more for Its neces sary expenses. Necessity lor Early Action. Director Willis urged that the executive committee be required to make Its report in much less time than ten days, saying' trees were waiting to bo planted and there was great need of starting the work on the grounds at once. Others agreed with him. Mr. Mallory said there were some things that would not brook delay, and one of theso wan the proposed rose garden for the Fair. He thought It would be well for the committee to go ahead without further delay to lay out the grounds and put the soil In proper condition for the purposes of the Fair. Director Scott said there should not be a delay of another week. The soil of the fair ground, he said, was raw and wild. and needed much preparation for tho Fair. and It would not bo In proper condition for the Fair unless work upon It should be begun very ooon. A little delay now would put the work of preparing the soil oft to another year, and the time would then be too short to get the results de sired. Slnco the Legislature had taken ac tion and the money for the Exposition was assured, there, was no occasion for further delay, and he deemed It Important that there should be no delay. following up this line of argument. Mr. Fenton moved that the executive commit tee be Instructed to employ a superintend ent of grounds at once, or as soon as pos sible, who should take Immediate steps to have the grounds laid out for the Exposi tion ana woric begun at putting the soil In condition for the uses of the Fair. It was understood .that this was to be but a temporary appointment for the purpose of getting the work under way Immedi ately. The motion passed. Levels and Clark Monument. Mr. Wheelwright brought up the matter of the monument that had been proposed for Lewis and Clark, and suggested that the $3000 mentioned as the cost of that memorial might not be enough to produce Police Committee at Its last meeting, and a well-known architect was engaged to make designs that will transform tho old structure Into a modern Jail. After the plans have been approved by the Police Committee they will be referred to the Executive Committee, and It Is hoped that nothing will interfere with Immedi ate reconstruction. The health of every one connected with the Police Department and the Municipal Court Is endangered by remaining In the reeking building for any length of time, and therefore nothing should stop a betterment of the condi tions as noon as possible. Chief of Police Hunt Is naturally In tensely Interested in the alterations, and hao made a number of suggestions to the architect which will In all probability be followed out In making the designs. The celling of the lower floor Is to be raised two feet, taking this npace from the height ot tho courtroom directly above. The cells are to be removed, and a three- tier cell structure placed over the build ing now occupied by the stable to tho west of the Jail proper. This will give the I'ollce Department more light and air of which It has seen very little heretofore. There will be enough cells to house all those arrested In far better shape than ever before, and the terrors of the com mon cell will be removed. It Is to be hoped that the ventilation, of the court room will be materially Improved, for un der the present conditions an hour's at tendance In the court is sufficient to sjek cn any one not accustomed to the noxi ous odors.

Ancient Ideas of Kings are contrasted with modern knowledge of them In "Mr. Booley's" Inimitable style. creditable results. President Corbett said ho had asked JJr. Schumann to look for a place on the route of Lewis and Clark where a granite shaft of proper size might be obtained, and that Mr. Schumann had reported that he could get it on the Snake Illver, where the granite for the basement of the new Federal building came from. He submitted a drawing of the shaft. The design contemplates bronze reliefs of the seals of the States of Oregon. Washington. Idaho and Montana, one to be on each ot the four sides "of the base block. Similar reliefs of tho busts of Lewis and Clark are to adorn the main shaft. The whole matter ot the monument was referred to tho art committee. President Corbett spoke of his falling health, and said he sometimes doubted his strength to continue as president of the corporation, and had thought of resigning. This suggestion brought instant objection. Then he said he would not be able to meet with all tho committees, of which he was ex-offldo chairman, and expressed the hope that the work would not be delayed thereby. Omsuggestlon of Director Albert. Direc tor Fenton moved that the committee on legislation be Instructed to prepare and urge the adoption of a concurrent resolu tion Instructing the board of regents of the Oregon Agricultural College to co-operate with the Lewis and Clark authorities in arranging certain parts of the Exposition, and another resolution instructing the State Commission to make use ot the old beaver coin dies in striking cheap medals 16 be sold at the St. Louis Fair, the man ufacture of the medals to be a part of the Oregon exhibit there rnd the medals them selves to advertise tne Lewis and Clark celebration of 1905.
