FOR WEEK'S CELEBRATION
BUSINESS' MEN TAKE UP A. O. U. W.
ANNIVERSARY.
It Is Proposed to Arrange a. Scries
of Festivities, and Secure Bxcni
.ion. Rates on Railroads.
That little plan of the Ancient Order
of United "Workmen to give their visiting-
delegates to the 32d anniversary cele
bration In Portland a reception has broad
ened Into a great project. A week of
festivities Is now almost assured. Not
only members of the order will be en
tertained, but all visitors to the city dur
ing that period. And the entertainment
will be on a larger scale than lodge re
ceptions. An elaborate plan has been
suggested and Ls being put on' the basis
of a business jroposltion. A committee
of prominent business men was selected
yesterday to enlist the local merchants in
support of the1 plan, Interview the" rail
road officials for concessions, and organ
ize the preparatory work.
One of the strongest guarantees of -success
in the whole plan ls the membership
of the committee. These represent busl
ness interests that will proceed conserva
tively and do everything in good faith.
Julius L. Meier, of Meier & Frank Com
pany; H. D. Ramsdell, of Lipman, Wolfe
& Co.; H. C. "Wbrtrman, of Olds & King1;
Captain E. W. Spencer and R. I. Durr
ham -are the members. Thl3 .committee
ls not Intending1 to manage the' festivities
A.0. If. W. week. The financial com
mittee of the order will do this, and the
committee of business men merely se
cures the co-operation of local firms in
supporting- the work, and proceeds only
so far as may seem necessary to Insure
the attractions promised.
The nature of the attractions is not
definitely settled on. There must be
something for each day of the week. No
effort will be made to follow the lines of
the late Carnival and Fair. One night
will probably be devoted to a mammoth
toroh-llght and illuminated parade. An
other will likely be called theater night,
when the local theaters will be hired to
throw open their doors to the visitors in
the city. Other evenings will be filled In
as plans mature and feasible idea3 are
brought forward. Festivals open to all
and which will assemble the people In
joyous throngs are the class, intended.
This anniversary of the A.' O. U. "W.
was to be made an especial affair by the
members of the order. At first only a
two days' celebration was contemplated
from October 22 to 2i. The idea of ex
tending the time to a week arose from
the possibility of securing good excursion
rates and the desire of many persons
to Visit the city later in the Fall than
September. There were many people
throughout Oregon and Washington who
were engaged in harvest work while the
Carnival rates prevailed. To accommo
date these was the "Idea In arranging- for
others than members of the order to at
tend the festivities. Excursions will bo
gotten up to give the people the best
Tates possible.
At the meeting of the committee held
yesterday much preliminary work was
done. All the local passenger agentfe
were visited and conferences held, regard
ing rates. No answer could be given
yesterday, but will be submitted to the
committee today. Very low rates are
promised. Julius. Thielsen was chosen as
director. As soon as rates are given by
the railroad companies, the committee
will visit all the local merchants and
other business men to see how much
financial assistance will be guaranteed.
Naturally this depends upon the con
cessions offered by the transportation
companies. After a brief canvass among
the business men, the committee will
know where It stands, and can figure
more definitely.
the eyes of everybody. They have some
marvelous cattle there. Hogs also show
that the old razor-back must, go.and In
his place the princely porker will "In time
be found throughout Oregon. You can
hardly appreciate the satisfaction of
viewing fine poultry until you behold
the blooded birds that constitute, this
portion of the fair exhibit.1. 'Then the ag
ricultural display is not less attractive.
Perhaps the merchant will think agri
cultural products a little out of his line.
They are not. Anything gTown In this
state is not out of the line of a resident
of this state. Every citizen should know
what his state produces, In order that
he may talk about It. fell the stranger
and be In a. position to assert his stata's
supremacy! It" Is a duty of all to attend
the fair, and those that do will find the
duty a most pleasant one." ' ,.

Madiaon-Street Draw Cloned Agaiast
Other Tronic.
The Madison-street bridge draw ls "barai
ly passable for pedestrians and wheelmen,
while street-cars and teams havo been de
barred. Both sidewalks have been torn
up and the street-car tracks have been
removed. Passengers on the Cast Side
cars are now given a short promenade
across the mutilated draw by way of a
change, and this permits them to make
jolly remarks and get acquainted. Next
Tuesday the draw will be swung open for
good, until rebuilt, and all traffic must
then betake Itself to the Morrison-street
bridge, already patronized to nearly. Its
full capacity. East Side car passengers
will be transferred to Grand avenue by
the .City & Suburban Railway, un.tll the
new draw ls ift position again.
A guard is stationed at the east end of
the Madison-street bridge, to keep team
sters from driving on "and finding out
when too late that they cannot cross the
draw. On the west end, street-cars will
block the way at night and thus give the
hint to approaching teams that they must
go to the Morrison-street bridge. It is
thought Madison-street bridge will be
open again for traffic by October IS. A
good deal will depend upon the weather
In the meantime.
