The directors of the Lewis and Clark
Fair yesterday elected H. W. 3cott presi
dent and H. W. Goode director-general.
A- resolution adopted by the board author
izes'-the- new iMrector-generl to visit att
Francisco, Nashville, Atlanta and New
Orleans, where expositions of practically
the same size as that planned for Port
land Wve been held, and consult with the
officers who made these fairs a .success.
Under the resolutions adopted by the
board the director-general will have
charge of the business management of the
Exposition. He will gtve practically all
of his time to the work and will be en
tirely responsible for the administration
of affairs at the Exposition grounds. The
president's duties have been lightened
considerably. It was declared yesterday
that the president would be compelled to
"sit on the safety valve" and to consult
with committees, heads of departments,
officers of the association and in a general
way keep In touch with Exposition affairs.
Other officers elected were: I. N.
Flelschner, first vice-president; W. D.
Wheelwright, second vice-president;
Samuel Connell, third -vice-president;
Henry Reed, secretary; First National
Bank, treasurer.
Adolphe Wolfe has filled the position of
second vice-president and auditor of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition. Had he been
willing to accept the responsibilities of the
position, the directors were inclined to
elect him first vice-president and ask him
again to take up the duties of auditor.
Mr. Wolfe, however, was compelled to
decline both offices.
Auditor Not Elected.
The board of directors did not elect an
auditor. The question has been consid
ered several times and there seems to be
a strong sentiment In favor of selecting
some one who will accept the position of
auditor and devote hie entire attention to
the accounts of the Exposition Company.
It was decided yesterday to leave the
question with the finance committee,
which will consult with the president and
secretary, reporting at the regular meet
ing of the board on August 14.
No successor was elected to W. W. Cot
ton, who resigned as director of the Ex
position Company. Mr. Cotton'e plans
for the coming year will take him out of
the city most of the time, and he could
not devote the attention to the work that
he believes necessary. A special com
mittee of five will recommend a new mem
ber of the board.
A special committee of five had been
designated at a previous meeting to take
up the question of the organization of the
board, and Its report upon the best plan
of organization wa3 adopted. The com
mittee recommended the election of Mr.
Scott as president, and defined his duties
as those prescribed in the by-laws of the
company. It was explained that the pres
ident would not be expected to give his
attention to the detail managament of the
Exposition affairs; that this could b
better done by a director-general. A busi
ness man selected from the business men
of Portland, one thoroughly in touch with
local affairs and able to give his atten
tion to the business management of the
Exposition, was urged. A salary of, $500
per month and expenses was suggested.
The committee recommended H. W. Goode
as director-general, and the recommenda
tions were approved. Mr. Goods will as
sume the duties of his office on September
L but in the meantime he Is authorized
to visit those cities which have held sim
ilar expositions and study the plan of
operation they followed.
Report of Special Committee.
In explaining the committee's recom
mendations, W. D. Fenton said:
"The committee has been considering
this question very carefully and when"
we met yesterday we found that all were

of the same mind, It was considered Im
possible to elect as director-general any
save a. business roan. One who has not
been In business would either have no
particular Interest In the Exposition or he
would have outlived his usefulness. The
question was brought up of securing" the
services of an expert In exposition af
fairs and bringing -hint, here at an ox
pcihae of from. ?l0,0wt6 .O'Suoh mail
would have- to come out here and learn
our resources and the peculiar conditions
which exist on the Coast. On the other
hand we considered Ihe question of elect
ing a man familiar with, commercial, his
torical and all -Jocat conditions and who
would bring- to this enterprise the ex
perience of a practical business man and
the enthusiasm of one whose interests He
here. v
"It would be too much, we believed, to
ask Mr. Scott to take upon himself the
entire work of presiding over this cor
poration and assuming the "management
of the Exposition. We have put a large
responsibility upon him' as it Is. He will
be called upon almost dally . to consult
with cqmmittees and those engaged In the
Fair work. He will have to sit on the
safety valve and protect the Interests of
the corporation.
"We have selected a man who has large
interests here, but wKose affairs are so
well In hand that he has promised to give
the Fair his time and make the Exposi
tion a success. -Mr. Goode Is tactful, re
sourceful, and' has the' confidence of the
men behind him. Mr. Goode will be
cheerfully and agreeably supported by the
president of the company, who will give
all the time he Is able to spare to the
enterprise. Mr. Scott is-In. thalvlcor of-
his -cereciv' wbeir fc, tviSi "be wbl&d'bp t
mo greatest nenent to us."
Mr. Fenton spoke of the work planned
at St Louis, which will give the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition the greatest electric
al display ever seen at any point in the
world. He' stated that Mr. Goode would
probably be able to secure a repetition
of this display. In Portland, and In any
event would be able to provide the grand
est electrical display ever given on the
Pacific Coast This, Mr. Fenton believed,
would be.i:se of the most enjoyable feat
ures of the Fair.
Remarks of Mr. Scott.
Before his formal election Mr. Scott
explained his position, saying:
"On my own behalf, I have to say, that
I am not insensible to the honor that you
would confer upon me. Yet I cannot say
that I thank you for It for while It may
bo an honor, if successful. It Is also a
very heavy burdsn. Nothing but a sense
of the fact that it Is a great public re
quirement would Induce me to consider It
for one moment or to think about It at
all. No Inducement In the way of any
honor It might bring or any salary which
might be offered would be the slightest
temptation to me In such a matter. I
have not felt that I have been, the proper
perton, to take this honor and this labor.
and. yt It, comes with; a pressure that I
dinut.'feelamTUbWfivresIat, for
every roan has a responsibility In the
community and I have mine.
"The honor of Portland and of Oregon
roust be conslctered; must always be In
view. We must do the very best pos
sible with the resources In our hands. We
must not forget the historical and gen
eral significance of this centennial oc
casion in relation to the prosperity and
growth of this country and with the
Pacific Commerce which Is now opening
to us. One great matter to be studied
will be the methods of co-operation with
the State Commission. I think that the
State Commission and the executive com
mittee of the State Commission will have
a disposition to co-operate to the. fullest
extent and with the very best judgment
In the work that we are to do. Without
such co-operation we shall fall.
"Concerning Mr. Goode I think he Is a
vers suitable man for the position. He is
