There is scarcely a family in the city that Is not Interested in the suc cess of the undertaking. It is to be given at mid-Summer, just between seed and harvest season, thus insuring a large at tendance from the country districts. The general committee has secured the entire grounds of Multnomah field and has arranged for the greatest number of attractions ever brought together in this city. The price of general admission will toe but 10 cents, which -will permit the visitor to witness the following attrac tions which will be conducted both after noon and evening: Spanning the Aerial Arch, or leaping the gap 42 feet wide, by a bicycle rider.

Murray, Veteran of the Civil War. James L. Murray, a Civil War veteran, irho came to Portland two years ago from Michigan, met a horrible death during the early hours of yesterday morning by fall fog from tho high railroad trestle at Sec ond street and Hawthorne avenue. His txdy was found shortly after sunrise in three foot of stagnant water. Apparently, tho man had been stunned by the fall and Vlran(lcd in tho shallow water, being un feblo to make his way to the banks of the Tond. Tho old veteran was dressed In his Grand Army uniform. Tho death Is thought to have been en tirely accidental. Murray is known to have attended a social early in the even ing, and later to have been drinking more than ho should have done. He was seen to cross tho Madlson-btreet bridge about midnight, and was not again seen alive. Jt appears as he had started to walk the trestle and lost his footing, falling into the water. Tho fact that there are no bruises on tho body Indicate that he was not struck by a train. Coroner Finley was notified when the ibody was found, and it was taken from tho water and removed to the Morgue. The police were notified, and a thorough Investigation was made by Officer Hose ley, but there w ere no Indications that the fatal fall was the result of anj thing but an accident. William Murray, of MUwaukle, son of the dead man, was at once notified. He went to the Morgue, and, after learning the circumstances of the death, said he would not ask for an Inquest. The dead man was 59 3 ears old, and left a widow, flvo sons and a daughter, residing In Mich igan. Tho funeral will be held tomor row at 1:30 P. M. from Finley's chapel. Interment will bo In Sellwood Cemetery. IN DOUBT AS TO LAW. Registration May Close Either Sat urday! May 14, or Monday, May 16. County Clerk Fields says he is in doubt whether he will cloe the registration books on Saturday. May 14, or Monday, May 16. Tho statute provides that regis tration ehall begin on the first Monday In January and close on May 15 at 5 P. M. May 15 falls on Sunday this year, and At torney General Crawford has written an opinion to the County Clerk of Benton County that this year registration must end on Saturday evening. But some attorneys differ with this opin ion and Mr. Fields has not yet decided to follow It, although he states that he will probably cloe the registration books next Saturday afternoon. A statute which refers to legal holidays and nonjudicial days, and which provides for computation of time, reads as fol lows: The time within which an act Is to be done. provided la this code, b&U be cosseted! by excluding the first day and Including the last, unless the last day fall upon Sun day; Christmas or nonjudicial day In which case the last day shall also b& excluded. Several well-known lawyers have stated that according to the provisions of this statute registration does not close this lyear until Monday, May 16, and that, as the opinion of the Attorney-General has no more legal force or effect than that of any other attorney, the question Is still open until decided by the Judge of a court of competent jurisdiction, and. If no such decision is demanded, the County Clerks can use their best Judgment In the mat ter. The total registration last evening was 20,877. The registration last week aver aged 100 per day, but this week, which Is the last, an Increase Is expected. Begin ning Monday, the office will be kept open at night. SPREADS THE INFECTION. Smallpox Patient Roams Through the Courthouse, Sent by Policeman. County Clerk Fields and his chief dep uty, F. W. Prasp, were vaccinated yester day morning by County Health Officer Dudley Evans, because Joseph Medley, a woodchopper, afflicted with a pronounced case of smallpox, paraded through the Courthouse and enjoyed the company of the Clerk and his deputy for some con siderable length of time. Evans fumi gated everything and everybody about the building as best he could, and thought it was a wise precaution to inject a little vaccine Into the arms of the Clerk and his deputies. Medley, who has been followirfg loads of wood to private houses from Herman's woodyard at Water and Columbia streets, was sent to the Courthouse by the police man on that beat, and he roamed through the building upon his arrival, and finally landed In the County Clerk's office. Ev ans was at once sent for, when the man's condition was observed, and he ran him out in the yard and stood him up against BANDMASTER CHARLES X. BROWN. the fence until he could telephone to William Bcutelspacher, the deputy, city health officer, and have Medley conveyed to the pesthouse. Medley said he had been sick for ten days, but had continued at work, putting wood in different houses, and said he put in a cord of -wood for Slg Sichel, and some on Hall street, near the schoolhouse. He said he had been sleeping at the Salvation Army barracks. Evans said he intended to learn who the policeman was who ent the man to the Courthouse, which he had no right to do, and instead ought to have detained the man and notified the police authorities and City Physician at once, and n$ have permitted the man to walk through the streets and to enter public buildings, thus spreading the contagion. FLOURING TTTi FOE ST. JOHNS W. B. Jobes Sells Out in Spokane to Start in Portland. A newfiouring mill with 400 barrels dally, capacity will be In running order" on the rl er bank at St. Johns within five months. The builder, who has procured several acres of land and a space for wharfage. Is now spending his time looking over the site, and will have building materials on the ground shortly. He Is W. B. Jobes, and he has Incorporated with his sons in the Jobes Milling Company. Mr. Jobes is an old milling man, and six months ago sold the mills of the In land Empire Milling Company, located in Spokane. Since that time he has been looking over the Coast for a good place to build another mill. He has said about Portland as a milling center, "This is the best place to build a mill. I have can vassed tho situation thoroughly. It Is the nearest to the wheat belt of any of the points giving access to the sea. I can do business here better than anywhere," he concluded. Mr. Jobes has been well known through out the West as a careful business man. At one time he was a wholesale merchant in Missoula, Mont. He gives no reason for selling out at Spokane and locating here, except that it Is to his interest. A 400-barrel dally output Is not large, but mills rarely begin with a larger output.

The quarterly report of the secretary of the Western Federa tion of Miners, on contribution to the S hour fund, shows that J39.749 has been added to the fund since the last report. This brings the total up to $106,033. TO RAISE CONCERT FUND $6000 IS NEEDED TO SUPPORT PARK BAND. Park Commissioner Meyer and Band master Charles L. Brown Will Start on Subscription Tour. Tuesday morning Park Commissioner J. D. Meyer and Charles L. Brown will be gin their tour among business men and residenters throughout the city to try to raise between $6000 and $7uOQ necessary to provide the cost of park concerts this Summer by Brown's Park Band. The Park Commission has already appropriated $1000 toward the fund, leaving about ?6000 to be raised by public suDscripuon. "If Portland people on both sides of the river wish to enjoy high-class band music in the parks this Summer, it Is time they settled in their own minds what sums they are to contribute toward the support of Brown's Park Band," said Park Com missioner Meyer, last night. "This year there will be a larger band than formerly. and more Instruments, and all this can't 1 be secured without money. Last season we were forced tc spend money on band Htands, etc., but this year such expendi ture will not be -lecessary, and we can de vote all our energies toward securing more music and plenty of it. "We cannot do better than patronize Brown's Park Band, under such a capable leader as Charles L. Brown, and composed as the band Is of men who are Portland musi cians, who are our fellow-citizens, and who spend their money in Portland. The members of the band have now played to gether for more than a year, and the park concerts given so far have been received with satisfaction by everybody In the city. At the same time, there are ideals to be reached, and I am confident that at th6 latter end of June, when Brown's Park Band will probably give its first concert for the season, the results of the fine re hearsal work will be seen, and that people will be able to note the rapid strides the band has made. "This season, with the experience the men have had and the new Instrumenta tion, we shall have a band that will be second to none on the Pacific Coast It Is about settled that the Sunday after noon concerts will be given In the City Park. So far as concerts during the week are concerned, these will be four in num ber, given during the evenings, but wheth er two of these weekly concerts will be given on the East Side depends entirely on the money contributions of the people living on the East Side. Last year they only contributed 3 per cent to the revenue. and it is only fair. If they wish band con certs in that part of the city, that they should bear their proportion of the ex pense." The new instrumentation of Brown's Park Band this season will consist of 37 pieces piccolo, concert flute, oboe, E-fiat clarinet, eight B-fiat clarinets, bass clar inet, bassoon, three saxophones, five cor nets, four French horns, three trombones, two "baritones, E-fiat bass, two double B-fiat bases, side drum and traps, bass drum and tympani. No one has done so much for the cause of high-class band music in this city than has Charles L. Brown. He has made Brown's Park Band possible by the energy he has displayed along with Mr. Meyer in getting subscriptions necessary for the support of the band. In addition to this business ability which very few band masters have Mr. Brown is a skillful musician himself, has fine taste, and is successful in handling men. "No one but C. L. Brown could keep the band together," said a well-known musi cian yesterday. "He has business and musical sense to a marked degree. We were afraid, when he recently went Into huslness, that the latter would take up too much of Ills time from music. But I know Charles L. Brown well enough to say that ho considers it a public duty to do what he can for the cause of band music in this city. He is the best band master we have. Keep him!" SUICIDE IS UNIDENTIFIED. Remains of Unknown Will Soon Be Interred in Potter's Field. The body of an unknown man, about 60 years old, who committed suicide by Jumping Into the river from the Madison street bridge Tuesday evening, lies at Finley's morgue, and while several per sons have called to view the remains the body has not yet been Identified. Unless tho body Is Identified within the next few days It will be Interred at the County Poor "Farm. Tho suicide is described as being about 60 5 ears of age, weighing 165 pounds and 5 feet In height. He was partly bald and had gray hair, while his mustache was dark and sprinkled with gray. Ho was plainly dressed, even for a workingman, wearing a light-weight black coat, black striped trousers, a blue gingham striped jumper, black laced shoes, a black leather belt with a large buckle, and a long, light-colored and worn overcoat.

But In our immense business, we find plenty of demand for them all, and every one makes friends for us, as prices please as well as Instruments. Tones of plano3 vary, just as the voices of fine singers, the qualities of some be ing more pleasfng to one musical taste than those of others. Some possess tones which are rich and resonant, others are sweet and sympathetic, still others clear and bell-like, some again, strong and sparkling, etc., etc The utmost skill and experience Is nec essary to produce pianos which possess these various qualities in artistic degree. And excellent judgment is necessary In order to decide upon the pianos which possess true musical qualities in the high est degree, and can be relied upon to re tain them through the many years which a good piano should.- Eilers Piano House has made its selec tion deliberately and carefully, and is more than proud of results.
