Carnival Secnrcn Commlsions for Deputy Sheriffs "Without Pay. Sheriff Storey has supplied the Mult ziomah Club Carnival managers with ten Deputy Sheriffs commissions to be used by guards employed In the grounds, and thus does away with the necessity of the payment of $2.50 each per night to police officers to preserve order at the Carnival and watch the exhibits. The policemen demanded compensation for the reason that their work at the Carnival was in.1 the nature of extra duty, and not done within the hours of their regular watch. Deputy Sheriffs answer the purpose just as well and are directly under the con trol of the Carnival officials. Woman Finally Reaches Home. NEW YORK, Sept. 23. Mrs. Loo Lin, the- Christianized wife of a Chinese in business here, and who has been the sub ject of much correspondence between Government officials and her missionary friends, finally has reached Mott street, exactly five months after leaving the Cun ton Baptist Academy. All her troubles in getting' Into the coun- try were because she dlji not carry -with her from China the -proper passports. She came with the credentials of a merchant's wife, Mrs. Lin was detained In San Francisco, but the Canadian Pacific Rail way put up a $1000 bond, under which she was allowed to go to Montreal. Last month passports identifying her as a Christian missionary teacher arrived, but It was not 'until Monday that she went before a United States Inspector at Ma lone, X. Y., to be passed upon. She was warmly welcomed upon arriving In Chinatown. CONTROL SMALL STREAMS Should Be Given to Counties for Protection of Farmers. Serious damage done to his farm two miles from Cottage Grove by the freshets In the Raw River has impressed on the mind of EL West the need of a law giving counties control over unnavigable streams so that they may prevent the obstruction of the channels, clear them out and pro tect the banks when necessary. "I bought a farm of Ai acres," said Mr. West to The Oregonlan, "and "was not afraid of the river's flooding it, but In the last two years the conditions have been changed by the ,bullding of the Oregon Southeastern Railroad for 16 miles from Cottage Grove towards the Bohemia min ing district. The road follows the river for nearly the whole distance, and Its em bankment has confined the river so that the full force of the freshets Is throvn on my land, through which the stream runs. Before the railroad was , built the flood from the river would spread over the land on one side for about a mile, until It reached a slough, through which It flowed back Into the river lower down. The old residents say that for seven years before the railroad was built the river jflld not overflow my land, but for the last two years It has spread over my land, washed out part 6f It, piled rocks and logs on It and filled up its old channel until It now covers a space 250 feet wide. I am In formed that when the railroad company secured the right of way it agreed to help In building cribs to create a new channel, but It has not done so. "I secured a petition of 50 people to the County Court to have the river Improved so as to confine the water In Its proper channel and to compel the railroad com pany to do Its part. I consulted the County Judge about It, but he said there was no law giving the county control over unnavigable streams, though he agreed that there ought to be such a law. In the meantime, the river Is bringing rocks down from the mountains and spreading them over my land, so that It will soon be worthless. The man who owned the land before me paid $1600 for It, but he sold It to me for $500 because the river had washed out part of it and overflowed It. The same condition exists at Eugene. The river has spread rocks over the land and rocks have filled up the channel, aggra vating the floods. "As the law now stands, unnavigable ptreams are the property of the -abutting landowners, but it would ruin an Individ ual to keep the channel clear through his property. The Legislature ought to pass a law giving the county power to create im provement districts for the control- of such streams, the cost to be paid. by the owners of the property which Is benefited. If this Is not done, whoie districts of good land will be rendered worthless and become de populated." HARMONY IN UNION. ' Republican Factions Getting To gether Knovrles' Defeat. "Harmony in Union County politics?" responded J. "W. Scrlber yesterday, "say, whenever you hear anybody talk about It, tell hint It's all harmony up in our county. The party's In good shape despite reports to the contrary. The Republican elements are drawing together. Mr. Church and I are getting along handsomely together." Mr. Scrlber is confident that the Supreme Court will uphold the law which provides for an election in the county seat and which was enacted at the last legislative session. If the court does so, the election will be held the first Monday in November. "How does Mr. Knowles feel?" .replied Mr. Scrlber. "Well, he's disappointed at not getting the Land Office, but the fact Is that he does just as well and better without It. He has a good, law practice which Is worth more to him than the Land Office." BOWLING ALLEYS' OPEN. Splendidly Eanlpped, They Offer Op portunities for Winter Sport. "Just what's needed in Portland" is the motto of the first-class bowling alleys newly established at 92 First street, one door from Stark, by McManamy & Reld, lately of Chicago. Six alleys have been prepared, three downstairs and three up stairs, for the regulation ten-pin game, and the materials used are of the best selected, specially prepared woods. The upstairs room may be reserved for women and private bowling-matches. No expense has been spared to make the alleys equal in every respect to the best of the kind on the Pacific Coast. The alleys are sure to be liberally patronized, and the place looks clean and inviting. The best of or der Is kept, and no liquor is sold. In tho coming Winter, when it will be Inconven ient to take outdoor exercise, McManamy & Reld's bowling alleys will be specially welcome. GEE FOOK MAY COME IN. Cliinnmnn Who Had Letter Hidden AmoiiR Cakes Goes Free. Upon a rehearing by Judge Bellinger, Gee Fook, a Chinese boy, who was order ed deported by a previous order of cour, was yesterday admitted and tho ban against him raised. In the case of a bro ther of Gee Fook, which came before the United States District Court some time ago. The brother was admitted and the court sustained its fiormer action by a similar order In tho case of Gee Fook. The evidence against Gee Fook consist ed of a letter Instructing the lad what to tell the Court, which his father had sent tho boy who was detained on board the Oriental liner Indravelll. The letter was concealed in a box of cakes and was though' t to be an attempt to evade the immigration laws. PRIVATE COLLECTION. Indian Relics Bought by the B. B, Rich Curio Store.

Pence and Plenty In Church Will Be Celebrated Few Changrc.n Amonjr Portland Pastors Likely. Unless all signs fail, the Oregon Confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which convenes at Salem Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock, and lasts until October 5, will be one of tho happiest in Its history. It will bo known as the Jubilee Confer ence. No hint of important church trou ble darkens the air, finances are In good shape, and everybody will have a jubilee time to celebrate the raising of the debt of Willamette University. New appointments will bo announced for tho ministerial dis tricts of Portland. Eugene. Grant's Pass and Salem, forming the Oregon confer ence. Two ministerial and two lay dele gates will be elected as representatives to the General Conference, - which meets In May. 1904, at Los Angeles, Cal. The presiding officer at Salem will be Bishop J. "W. Hamilton, ofvSan Francisco. It does not look as If many changes will be made at the conference among the ministers belonging to the Portland dis trict Rev. "W. T. Kerr, pastor of the Bishop John W. Hamilton, who is to . preside at the Oregon Conference. Central Methodist Church, is to retire from ministerial labors for one year, as he needs a rest on account of his health. He has been pastor at the Central Chruch for five years, and his people are very sorry to see .him go. He and Mrs. Kerr will remain during the Winter, and in the Spring they hope to visit their former home in Illinois. It was rumored that Rev. W. H. Selleck, pastor of the Sunny side Church, would be transferred to North Yakima, but his people at Sunny side protested so strongly against the change that in all probability he will be allowed to remain with them. He has been their pastor for one year. The more important Methodist charges In this city are those of the First Church, where Rev. Dr. H. J. Talbott is pastor, and Grace Church, where Rev. Dr. J. R. T. Lathrop is pastor, and it Is understood that no changes will be made there this year, or in the remaining pastorates. This Is a list of the present appoint ments in the Portland district: L. T.

He became promi nent a few years later as the founder of the well-known People's Church, Bostop. Mass., where he served for nine years'. He was elected to his present office as Bishop by the Conference of 1892, being supported In the election by nearly all the colored delegates. Dr. Hamilton has published a history of the Episcopal Board, entitled "Lives of the Methodist Bishops." He has had considerable ex perience In parliamentary bodies, and is widely known as an eloquent and con vincing speaker. y COULD BUT WOULDN'T. Oregon Might Have Won Cup With Little Effort. PORTLAND, Sept; 23. (To the Editor.) The question: "How was it that Oregon did not win the $500 silver cup, offered by Senator "W. A Clark, of Montana, for the most complete, perfect and comprehensive display of fruits grown on Irrigated lands, to be exhibited at the 11th National Ir rigation Concress held at Ogden, Utah, September 15 to 18?" has been asked so often, that I ask space, as It should be known all over Oregon; we lost on two counts, which permit me to explain. When I returned from Japan three weeks ago, I found awaiting me an In vitation from the committee to address the congress on "Fungus Diseases on Fruit Trees, on Irrigated and Nonirrigated Lands," and another requesting me to act as one of the Jurors on awards. I was so busy winding up the Osaka exhibition matters that I had about decided to de cline, when Mr. Craig, general passenger agent for the O. R. & N. Co., came to my office and earnestly asked me If I would not go and arrange an exhibit of fruits grown along their lines, which had been promised and partly snipped. Now, to make an exhibit of anything, not know ing what It consists of, was not a pleas ing nor promising outlook, but I felt that the fruit interests of Oregon were at stake and reluctantly consented to go, and left the same evening. When I opened the few bpxes my heart failed me, for the exhibit was neither complete nor compre hensive, and I felt we were not In It with either Idaho or Utah, cither of which had ten times as many varieties as we had, and I saw the coveted cup. fading In the distance, and concluded not to enter a race where success was Impossible. Right here let me say that praiseworthy as the effort on the .part of the O. R. & N. Co. was to make this exhibit, and all the exhibit made was entirely due to their efforts, had the Eastern Oregon fruit growers made only half an effort and paid some one's expenses of 550 or even J100 to collect a complete exhibit, for they have not only" plenty, but of the very best quality, they would have won the cup, just as .easily as they have won all the l , gold medals for individual exhibits, as bur apples, pears; prunes and plums over shadowed everything on exhibition, in color, size, flavor and perfect form. Be sides the honor of winning this beautiful cup, it would have been worth $100,000 in advertising, but what is everybody's business is nobody's business applies very forcibly In this case. It Is very humiliating to be defeated, when success can be assured so easily by those most Interested. The gold medals, -which are about the size of a $20 gold piece, and very hand some, .will be suitably engraved and sent by express to the successful competitors. The rules governing this contest were for the finest display of the most perfect three variotles of 24 specimens each. They were awarded to Joseph A. Wilson, Hood River, for Wolf River, Yellow Newtown Pippin and King of Tompkins County apples: to the Klesel. Shilling & Danllson Fruit Company, 1 Arcadia, on the Snake River, for Idaho, Flemish Beauty and Bartlett Pears; to A. I. Gale, Union, for Columbia, General . Hand and Yellow Egg Plums; to the Shields Fruit Company, Freewater, for Pond, Silver and Fellenberg Prunes. The $50 prize for the- best commercially packed fruits was also awarded to A. I. Gale, Union, for apples, pears, prunes and plums. The $10 prize for honey was awarded to C. W. Mallatt, Ontario. Some very fine fruit came from Eagle, and. much to my surprise, Wallowa Valley, but only six specimens of each variety. Had there been enough to comply with the rules, we -would have taken everything In sight Some really fine fruit was wormy, for which there is no earthly excuse, and the wormy fruit of Utah, which had really a more comprehensive exhibit than Idaho, lost them the cup, which Is a just rebuke to mossbacklsm and a strong argument In favor of Intelligent and, eternal spraying, which Is the price of good fruit. Our fruits were a great surprise to the 1300 delegates who attended the congress, which shows what practical endeavor, intelligently ap plied, can do, on arid, sage-brush-covered soils. HENRY E. DOSCH. MR. SUPPLE'S POSITION. His Propoiial for Flreboat Named Shortest Practicable Time. PORTLAND. Or., Sept 22. (To the Editor.) Since the bids for the construc tion of the 'flreboat were opened, and I was found to be the lowest bidder, so many questions have been asked that I wish to make my position public. Being an owner of water-front property, I realize the public sentiment In favor of speed In getting the boat ready, and in preparing my estimate I figured on eight months as the shortest timo possible, in my judgment, for the proper preparation of the materials, building the hull, and as sembling the power-plant and pumps. The lumber for the hull is still unsawed and should be allowed a little time to season before It is framed, else the shrinkage will keep the hull constantly limber and liable to get out of shape. I would have named a shorter time than eight months to make delivery had I considered it practicable. When one stops to think that the various parts which will make up the pumps, boilers, engines, equipment and accessories In a thousand and one details, are now scattered over many states, and that the lumber is still In the logs, one can realize that It Is no small or easy task to assemble all and Install them In a substantially built hull, mak ing a complete and successful flreboat I contend that this Is virtually a boat builder's job, and that his estimate of the time required to put in commission this flreboat should be more nearly cor rect than the judgment of those In any other lino of business, and I would call attention to the fact that the only other boatbuilder who offered a bid wanted ten months' time. In making my proposal I considered the fact that the great need of the flreboat would render the public sensitive about any delay in delivery over the time stated in the contract, and I did not desire to run the risk of public cen sure by proposing to furnish the flreboat in less time than I felt satisfied was re quired to turn out a first-class Job. When the bids were opened the flreboat com mittee seemed to favor the -judgment of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, who made the statement that they would build and deliver the completed boat In six months' time, and though my bid was at a lower price than theirs, the committee considered that thi3 bare state ment of less time (with no certainty of getting It fulfilled) should be given tho preference over both my lower price and also my judgment In regard to time. This I do not consider a fair deal to me, and I have so stated. I will submit that I have had 30 years' experience In building wooden craft, and that I have a complete equipment In this city for that purpose, and that I am able to construct this beat In as short a time as any one can. I feel that the flreboat committee acted hast ily when It did not give my bid more con sideration. While the famous "Hamll" was being talked of and a new steel hull was being considered, I did not offer any proposal, but when a wooden hull was called for I thought it time to butt in. It seems, however, that I made a mis take, and should the city need a new town clock or new uniforms for - the police or some other article about the construction of which I know nothing, I will offer a bid agreeing' to deliver in Impracticable haste and will no doubt be awarded the contract JOSEPH SUPPLE. UNVEILING OF MONUMENT Memorial Shaft to Be Dedicated With Speech and Mnxle. At the meeting of the Lone Fir Monu ment Association, held last night in Sum ner Post Hall on Union avenue. It was de cided to hold the unveiling ceremonies Immediately on the arrival of the bronze figure, which will surmount the soldiers' memorial shaft. M. L. Pratt, President of the association, announced that the figure was shipped from Salem, O.. Sept 14, and would reach Portland by October 1. The following committees of arrangements were appointed: Band Captain Edward Martin. J. W. Worrick and Mr. Newburg; vocal music C. J. Ward, M. L. Pratt. H. Sutcllff; speakers L. H. Wells, J. W. Ogllbee and John E. Mayo; unveiling F. R. Neale, E. Martin and John E. Mayo. Flags will be used In the unveiling cere monies, and this last committee will at tend to that matter. A tract DO feet square In Park Block In the center of Lone Fir Cemetery, Is set apart for the monument. A concrete walk has been laid around the shaft, and the grounds will be further beautified. The association will meet again next Wednes day evening In Sumner Post's Hall to re ceive the reports of the committees. MARRIAGES ARE MANY. Xnmber of Licensed Intmed In Mnlt nomnh in September Bent Record. Up to date this month County Clerk Fields and his deputies have Issued 112 marriage licenses, which Is the highest record of the kind for the same length of time by a considerable percentage in the history of Multnomah County. The license book shows that since Mr. Fields became Clerk In July. 1902, 1501 marriage licenses have been Issued. September Is a good month for weddings, also June and December The Christmas holiday period is a favorite time for nup tials and the fruit's of the good old Sum mer time courtships seem to be much In evidence just now.

BIG PARADE AGAIN TONIGHT Prominent Jurist and Attorney Will Enliven "Knnsraroo Kort' Bal loon Ascension and Slide for Life Arouse Wonderment. TODAY'S PROGRAMME. 2:10 Afternoon concert . Jabours big shows. J Tiao-Balloon ascension. Grand parade and fireworks. Ride for life. Jabour'8 fchowa. Kangaroo court. Miss Uljen's Are dive. Despite the slightly threatening weather another good crowd turned out at the M. A A. C. Carnival last night. The en tire programme was given without a hitch, and the large number of country people present declared the show one of the very best ever given on the Coast. With but three nights of the Carnival remaining, the attendance promises to In crease mtll Saturday night, when the most successful outdoor attraction ever given in Portland will pass Into history In a blaze of glory. Those who have not already visited the Carnival will not fall to do so before It Is everlastingly too late. Parade Tonight. The programme this afternoon and to night promises to be one of the best yet given. At 7:30 o'clock the parade advertised for last night and postponed on account of the inclement weather will be given. The line of march will be over the princi pal streets of the city, and as on the opening night of the Carnival there will be a liberal display of fireworks. Red Are will be burned along the line of march, and several thousand rockets and Roman candles will be shot off. Another feature of the programme to night will be the proceedings of the "Kan garoo Kort." One of Portland's leading jurists has consented to preside, and dis pense justice, while a former Prosecuting Attorney will appear in the ole of prose cutor. Among the victims In view are all the performers In , the German village, who will be required to do their several stunts for the edification of the court and In full view of the entire Carnival at tendance. Thompson will again make his perilous balloon ascension, Schaar will appear In the Devil's Chimney. Edwards will make his daredevil slide for life, and Miss Llljcns will again make her great fire dive. All these are attractions In themselves well worth the price of ad mission, never having been presented on the Coast before. Schaar, who performs the seemingly impossible Devil's Chimney feat with' his ordinary bicycle, next year proposes to ride a motor-cycle In a chim ney of the same diameter as the one now in use by him. but 35 feet high. The per formance of Edwards in his reckless ride dom the 125-foot Incline, So feet from the ground, continues to excite the won derment and win the applause of all who see It. Thompson, In his balloon ascen sion tonight, will offer a few bloodcurdling stunts from his parachute 3000 feet above the ground. The Country Store. The country store, having laid In a new stock of goods, will tonight be better pre pared to serve the public than ever be fore. Those who have not already made their Fall purchases of useful and orna mental things are advised to save their money for this store, as unheard-of bar gains are offered in all lines of goods. But few chances remain on the piano, easy chair and automobile. Yet another attraction has, however, been added to the industrial street to interest those given to dallying with the fickle goddess of for tune. This is a racehorse, and. judging from the way the tickets are going. It Is evident that Carnival visitors are judges of good horseflesh. The rest of the tickets for the horse will probably be disposed of tonight. Tomorrow night the great spectacular production, "When Knighthood Was in Flower," will be repeated, and Saturday night the Carnival will come to an end with a confetti battle and grand Mardi Gras festival. Finals In Boxlnpr. The first boxing contest was a 3-round go between lightweights Charles French and Kenneth Fenton. which was won by French after some lively work which brought the spectators to their feet. Jack Douglas and Edgar Frank, feather weights, -went the limit of three rounds, and after a hot fourth It was declared a draw. George. Hart won the bantam contest by default from Nelcken. and Charles French went out of his class to win from E. Tit combe in the welter-weight bout. The wrestling bouts were between C. W. Carlson and S. H. Plnkham. of the Y. M. C. A. Carlson won two out of three and received the medal. Shively was awarded his bout by default. This closes one of the most Interesting features of the Carnival, and the lucky boyn have been given medals commemo rative of their prowess. PERSONAL MENTION. Judge J. Q. A. Bowlby. of Astoria.

Captain Eugene Crowns, United States A KANSAS PREACHER HOW HIS EXPERIENCE HELPED HIS DAUGHTER. After Her Father's Death Miss Bnc chcl Encountered Serious Diffi culties, hut Overcame Them. .The Rev. Charles BuecheJ, late pastor pf the German Methodist Episcopal Church In Wichita, Kan., was one of the best-known ministers of the state, having served In all Its principal cities during his long1 pastorate. His daugh ter, Miss Lydia Buechel. now residing at No. 421 South Water street, Wichita, also has a wide acquaintance, ahd her evidence on an important topic will command attention. She says: "'For six years I suffered with a ner vous debility which physicians failed to relieve, and finally I was confined to my bed, a victim of nervous prostra tion. I was so nervous that I could not sleep, my stomach got so bad that everything I ate hurt me, and my sys- icm ueuune worn out irom tne ner vousness and lack of nourishment. "Wlhen my father was alive he fre quently took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, when he was worn out and nervous from preaching, and they always helped him. so I decided to see what they would do for me. After tak ing one box I experienced relief, and a few boxes cured me. I am perfectly willing to have this statement published in the hope that It will be the means of helping other sufferers to regain their health." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple are an unfailing specific for all dis eases arising from impoverished blood or weakened, unstrung nerves two fruitful causes o nearly all the ail ments to which mankind is heir. They have cured locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. "Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head ache, the after-effects of the grip, pal pitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, and all forms of weakness either in male or female. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple are sold by all dealers, or will b sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box; six boxes for two dollars and a half, by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.
