There will be an Important meeting tomorrow night at the Sargent Hotel. Grand and Haw thorne avenues, to consider the situation relative to the proposed new Madison street bridge. The United East Side Push Clubs called the meeting. Two engineers from the Southern Pacific Railroad Com pany will be present to give their views of the best way to cross the Southern Pacific tracks on the East Side, assuming that the bridge will be rebuilt on Haw thorne avenue and Madison street. Not withstanding that the Brooklyn Club has Indorsed the location on East Mill and Second streets and Clay, the people are fearing to endanger the present J450.000 bond Issue by any change of location. They fear that If they ask for another and larger bond Issue they might lose, now that the South Portland people are entering the field for a 1.500.000 bridge. It Is thought a bridge higher than the present one may be built on the present site using the H50.000. and still make pro visions for getting above the railroad tracks on the East Side.

RESCUE BOY FROM SLOUGH BELBERT MOXROE SAVED BY STREETCAR PASSENGERS. Men From Hawthorne-Avenue Car That Arrives Just in Time Plunge Into Water. Passengers on a streetcar yesterday afternoon rescued 11-year-old Delbert Monroe from drowning- In Hawthorne Slough, and two men risked their lives in the effort. The boy was finally saved and was uninjured. The boy lives with his mother Jn an apartment-house at Grand and Haw thorne avenues, and was playing near the slough yesterday morning. He can not swim, but he has frequently crbssed the slough at Hawthorne ave nue and East Third street on an im provised raft. Yesterday he started to make an other trip across the slough on his raft. He found a small drygoods box near the bank of the slough and took It aboard to be used as a seat. When about half way across the pond the box overturned, and Monroe fell Into the water The box also fell Into the water and the raft drifted away. The lad seized the box and was able to keep above the surface of the water. A westbound car on Hawthorne avenue passed at that time and Jack Reed, clerk at the Perkins Hotel, hap pened to see the boy in the water. The car was stopped at once and Reed, with the motorman, conductor and several passengers rushed to the aid of the boy. One of the passengers leaped Into the water et once and swam out to the lad, but his clothing was so heavy that he feared for his own safety. He warn back to the shore and another passenger, who had removed his cloth ing, swam out to the boy. He took a large plank upon which he placed the boy and in that way towed him to the shore. The boy was removed to a nearby residence and a physician summoned. However, It was found that he had suffered no 111 effects from his danger- ..... nn the SlOUCh. He lS the wun .

Will you please answer a regular subscriber the followlnj questions: 1 Are the words "situate" and "situated used Interchangeably? If not. why notT Which Is correct, the expression "situate in the city of Portland" or "situated In the cltv of Portland." as, for example, a cer tain lot of land? 2. Are the words "all rlfrhf ever cor rectly written as one word, "alrlrht T" JOHN LELA.VD HENDERSON. 1. The two words are interchangeable. See Webster: " Situate" Is now leas used than situated.' but both are well author ed." S. No. The foregoing Inquiry gives The Orego nlan extmae to preach a brief sermon on waste of time. Few dare go by that the mall does not bring letters asking ques tions whose answer la to be had In books of reference that every Intelligent man ought to have In his office or library. It I takes lesa time to consult a dictionary than to write a letter; the Information sought Is instantly obtainable. In tne matter of dis puted .words. The Oregonlan usually abides by the decision of Webster or tne century; yet It Is not unmindful of the fact that the English language Is not dead, therefore changes. This newspaper is ready and willing to answer questions which will Interest even a very small number of readers. It knows, because It goca to every poitofflce In Ore- ron and over half of Washington and Idaho, that there are hamlets and towns In whose confines neither an, unabridged dictionary, an encyclopedia nor a statistical almanac is to be had. Residents of these little places, therefore, have a claim on The Ore gonlan that larger towns and county seats ought not to maxe. To conclude: The man who conceals his name when asking a question is not entitled to an answer. And he doesn't get It. WHEHEJO DINE.

FOR RACES AND EXHIBITS Amount Will Be Distributed by Middle of October and Portland Alone Offers $40,000 to Stockmen. Complete lists of purses, prizes and stakes for the harness races, and prem iums for the livestock shows in the Northwest during the next two months have been gathered and compiled by the management of the Portland Coun try Club and Livestock Association, and the aggregate exceeds all the ex pectations of the horsemen and stock men of the city. Briefly stated, there will be between 1200,000 and 225.000 In purees, stakes and premiums distributed In the har ness races and livestock circuits to be held in this territory between now and the middle of October, which Is nearly double the amount of money ever contributed In the Interests of racing and stock culture in this part of the country In any previous season. Portland Offers 20 Per Cent. Out of the nearly quarter of a mil lion, Portland the first year In either the harness racing game or the live stock business will contribute 40,000, or about 20 per cent, which Is a re markable showing when it Is taken Into consideration that there are eight cities of the Northwest In' the North Pacldc Livestock Circuit and eight cities in the Northwestern Harness to.& rifpnit. TMo mnnev will be scattered broad cast, going to horsemen and livestock h .oott,, in tha following1 states, all of which will be well represented, not only In Portland, but In the other cir cuit cities: Washington, Oregon, Cali fornia, Idaho, Montana, British Colum bia, Eastern Canada, Colorado, Minne sota and Wisconsin. Runners from va rious portions of the United btates win also be included. Eliminating the $40,000 which will be awarded here, there will remain close to $200,000 to be given out at the vari ous other meets, for the estimate of $200,000 includes only the early and closing entry lists and not the specials, features, champion, grand champion n A .nt.an.tgkB event for which not only cash prizes, but valuable trophies will be hung up at most oi tne tium In the twofold circuit. Tn th hnrneae ram circuit. Portland, Salem, Spokane and North Yakima will lead In distributing the big prizes, while Belllngham, Everett, Walla Walla and Seattle will contrioute generously ho rmnri total. The foregoing points cover the racing circuit In which the purses and stakes wi.. pass mo $100,000 mark. Seven Cities In Circuit. There are seven cities in the North Pacific Fair Circuit at which the live stock Interests will vie lor anotner $100,000 or more In cash premiums. Theee are: Snohomish County Fair, Everett, Wash., September 1-5: West ern Washington Fair, Seattle, Septem ber 7-12; Oregon State fair, baiem. September 12-19; Pacific National Show, Portland, September 21-26; Washing ton State Fair, North Yakima, Septem ber 28-October $; Spollane Interstate Fair. Spokane, October 5-10; Walla Walla County Fair, Walla Walla, Oc tober 12-17. According to the best estimates available, covering the early and the late closing events the latter being still Incomplete it Is assured that there will be about BOO harness racers which will take part In the circuit events this Fall, and that In the seven livestock fairs there will be no fewer than 2500, and perhaps closer to 3000 head of livestock exhibited In four grand divisions, horses, cattle, sheep and swine. Including the feature classes In each of these divisions. The director of the Country Club and Livestock Association will hold a regular meeting this afternoon to com plete details of arrangements and ac commodations for the exhibitors and the crowds for the meet here five weens hence.

There is no limit to the lessons to be learned there In comparative zoology. If one uses his eyes and Is not afraid to ask questions any amount of odd and Interesting Information can be picked up. . For example, one learns that the giraffe can utter no sound, that the elephant can feel the bite of a fly, that camels are bred In Siberia, that the male ostrich sits on the eggs, that the female kangaroo carries its young In Amusements Wfcat the rreas Aerate Bay. - --h .hit traveling, that a hip popotamus eats less than a dog, that most beautiful lace Is made from the hair of the yak. The menagerie of the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth is a complete zoological garden. There Is nothing in the animal kingdom that is missing In this display if it has any value as an exhibit. There Is no other circus In the world that can say as much. This circus Is known to be the pioneer and the leader In all great things. This year's organisation Is more than ever surprising In size and new features. The equipment Is all new and the parade has been revived on the grandest scale. Aside from the menagerie there are many groups of animals among the ring acts that are of Intense Interest. Professor Wormwood's educated ant eater, three new herds of trained ele phants in new acts, the clown dogs and monkeys of the three Menstlnes, a pony, dog and donkey act presented by Mary and Petrol, Moustler's clown animals and a company of trained horses In a spectacular performance are the more Important specialties of this nature. r vr; .orfnrmer, trA mninr n nr- tlon are the flower of European talenHr Just hrougnt over lor a iirat tour ui America under the Barnum & Bailey banner. The climax of circus sensa tions is found in the automobile act In which two heavy cars with girls at the wheels go somersaulting through space after a mad flight down a steep In cline and a leap Into midair. CITIES HONOR ATHLETES OBEGOS BOYS WIII BE GIVEN OVATIOXS EX ROUTE HOME. Salt Lake City and St. Louis Invite Beaver State Trio to Stop on Way West. Salt Lake City and St. Louts have re sponded to the announcement sent out of Oregon's intended reception in honor of her three -world's champion athletes, and when the victorious trio, accompanied by the reception committee, visit these places, Informal receptions will be held In their honor. A few days ago the Denver Athletic Club and the reception committee of New York City advised that they would be pleased to entertain the Oregon boys, and Vie two responses received yesterday brings the total to date up to four. The Eastern organizations have fallen into line in the most satisfactory manner, and with such receptions to be held in honor of Smithson, Kelly end Gilbert en route home, the fact that the three ath letes are natives of Oregon cannot but be forcibly , Impressed upon the Eastern people with whom the athletes will come In contact. Each of the organizations so far re sponding have asked for data relative to the performances of the Oregon boys, and also have requested to be Informed of the exact date when they will reach each point on the way home. With the excep tion of the date of arrival In each city, the requested details' have been sent the various institutions. The Itinerary of the trip home will prob ably have to be arranged by telegraph after the committee to receive the Oregon boys reaches New York. The three mem bers of trse Portland press delegated by the general reception committee of this city to meet the boys at New York, will leave for the. East next Saturday. It Is hoped to arrive In New York by Thurs day, August 27, which will give the dele gates two days to round up the Oregon boys before tlie big celebration to be ten dered the entire team on August 29. The start for Portland will probably be made on the following Tuesday, as President Roosevelt has expressed a desire to meet the athletes on Monday. August 31, and the Oregon champions will undoubtedly want to be present on that occasion. The homeward Journey will require something like 12 days, according to the present plans, for stops will be made at all the cities along the route wnose atnieuc or ganizations have asked tne uregon am lAtea in visit them. A meeting of the finance committee will h heM t the Commercial Club tonight. when reports of the various canvassing committees will be heard and plans dis cussed for a further canvass of the city if .uch Is found necessary. The general committee will meet at the same place Thursday night, at S o'clock, when . the final arrangements for the de parture of the reception committee win be completed. BANK IS CHIEF CREDITOR MILTOX V. SMITH SAID TO OWE FIRST XATIOXAL $40,000. Mercantile Houses Will Also Be In cluded In Bankruptcy Petition That May Be Filed Today. The First National Bank, of Portland, is the principal creditor of Milton W. Smith, lawyer and clubman, who has been forced to resort to bankruptcy proceed-" Ings. Mr. Smith is said to owe this bank about $40,000. Among the other large cred itors of Mr. Smith are several prominent business houses of this city. Including Meier & Frank Company, Olds, Wortman & King. Lipman, Wolfe & Co. and A. & C. Feldenhelmer. It is understood that the claims of Mr. Smith's creditors ap proximate JS0.000, while he has assets amounting to about eoO.OOO applicable to their payment. J. N. Teal is the legal representative of the creditors, whose meeting a few days ago will result In the filing of a pe tition In the United States Court by Mr. Smith, probably today, under the bank ruptcy act. If the embarassed debtor does not take the initiative and become a voluntary bankrupt, his creditors will take the necessary steps to have him ad Judged Insolvent In the same court. Mr. Smith Is being represented by Alex Sweek, his brother-in-law. The recent filing of two suits in the State Circuit Court against Mr. Smith, each for J5000, practically forced him Into bankruptcy as the most equitable plan of adjusting his affairs. As the result of these suits Mr. Smith's office and its contents In the Falling building were at tached last weeek and placed In charge of Andrew Weinberger, detective attached to the District Attorney's office, pending the outcome of the suits. Our Imports Falling: Off. Wall-Street Journal. The combined Imports and exports for the 12 months ending June 30. 190S, were $3,055,000,000.

New Methods in a Modern Piano Bus iness as Compared Witn Old wnai Consignment Agencies Mean, and Why They Must Adhere to Old Time High Prices. A Summer like the past works an extraordinary hardship upon the DiK piano concerns. A little store or agencv orders a few pianos from me makers only when needed. A large house like Eilers Piano House, how ever, makes annual contracts for so many pianos to be taken each week (provided they pass the rigid Inspec tion of the Eastern buying expert or one of the heads of the house). In this way the piano makers grant discounts and concessions that the small dealer is unable to secure, but the pianos must be taken as agreed whether or not. This annual contract system makes possible a wonderful saving in costs and is one of the reasons why Eilers Piano House can undersell any West ern house or agency. Think of buying new pianos, the pick of the factory, for $40 each less than the same Instru ment cost a prominent Western con cern. Is it any wonder that the Eilers stores furnish more piano value for the money than can be obtained elsewhere T We can afford to lose profit on a few Instruments occasionally to secure such id van tages. MIDDLEMEN'S PROFITS DOOMED. The Western piano situation will be still more forcibly brought to mind In "ases where small dealers, or San Francisco or other branch houses, who do not deal with the factory direct, have to submit to an intermediate charge of in some instances as high as 15 per cent on the cost of the goods, plus $50 for each piano. Is It any wonder that pianos which Eilers Piano House Is in position to sell for $218, yes $192. have to bring elsewhere as much as $400 or $375? This latter price Is being asked today by branch house or consignment dealers for pianos that have been sold time and time again right in this community for almost half that figure. This is an honest, straightforward statement of facts that can be proven to the satis faction of any disinterested buyer. But as to this forced sale: No use denying the fact that the unusual hot July weather retarded our business, for it did. We accordingly de termined last week to force out an extra one hundred brand new pianos, no matter what the sacrifice. We could afford to do it and we went about the sale In no uncertain man ner. Profit and cost did not enter Into the consideration. It was a mat ter of disposing of pianos. Five dol lars down and one dollar a week pay ments secured a good one at these sale prices. No wonder that the entire lot was quicklv taken. A hundred more friends and supporters were gained. SEVENTY-FIVE MORE MUST GO. An nnw wo are colng to make some more friends seventy-five within the next -ten davs each and every buyer will find a positive saving of $125 to $206, according to the Instrument se lected. ... Ti.a trm of nflvment will be casn or $6 when vou have your piano sent home and then only $6 a month there nftnr nl the same low cash cost, simple bank rate of Interest being added, not on the whole amount DUt on aeierreu payments only, for these exceptionally easy terms. know it Is far better to have seventy-five more new pianos In Port land homes now, even at the bare cost, than to carry them In stock outside, paying extra Insurance, handling, etc. Vox hut a house like Kilers could afford to do this we are satisfied Just now In fact, have to be satisfied to get merely the interest on our money wnicn you oay u yuu duj mn. TIS BUYING TIME NOW. Buy when the seller must sell and save good solid money in tne transac tion. If . you haven't the money, pay 20 cents a day.
