Verbal Re port to Joint Committee Presi dent May Break Ground. The 1905 exposition project is expanding rapidly, and is already reaching out for California, New Mexico, Old Mexico, the Hawaiian Islands, China, Japan, Siberia and the Philippines, as measures will be taken lo send agents to these different regions and acquaint the leading people of Oregon's intention to observe the cen tennial of the occupancy of the Pacific Coast. At the Joint meeting of the commit tees from the Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers' Asso ciation held yesterday afternoon. In X M Long's office, Chamber of Commerce building, Mr. Long stated that all the preliminary work for the big exposition had been done in the Northwestern States and in British Columbia. Agents had returned from Washington, Idaho, "Utah, Montana and Colorado after hav ing impressed the various Legislatures with the magnitude of Oregon's under taking, he said, and official recognition had followed by the appointment of state commissioners, and memoraHzlng Con gress Xor direct aid toward the enter prise. "British Columbia has manifested very cordial sentiments toward the enter prise," Mr. Long continued, but the head men up there don't want It to be given a local name. They suggested that a map be gotten -up by the exposition commis sioner, showing the whole Pacific Coast from Mexico to Alaska, and obliterating state lines. The term 'Lewis & Clark,' while very acceptable to the people of the Northwest, will find objection across the British line, as Lewis and Clark were very Instrumental in saving the North western States for Uncle Sam, when they might now be prosperous British colo nies. The British Columbians have a sacred memory for a certain Scotchman, who drifted down Fraser River, about the time Lewis and Clark were paddling down the Columbia, and comparisons might therefore be odious. "But British Columbia will be found represented at the exposition by a fine building and a mineral exhibit that will dazzle the eyes of all visitors, according to the calculations of the colonists now, and the Canadian Government at Ottawa will be asked for a handsome appropria tion to .icover the expenses. Governor Brady, of Alaska, is also enthusiastically in favor of the exposition. "Colorado will have a big mineral dis play and as the people of Colorado never do things by halves, the colonists may find that there are other mining centers whose people are not afraid to show their resources. ""California has not yet been approached in regard to the exposition, because we wanted to be sure of the Indorsement of the Northwest before we went South, As Governor Geer is likely to go to San Francisco to meet President McKinley next month, he will be the bearer of a message to Governor Gage, of that state, and thus the ball will be started rolling there. New Mexico and Old Mexico will be attended to later on. "As to the Hawaiian Islands, the Phil ippines and the countries of the Orient, we have a man in view who offers to visit these places, armed -with creden tials from the exposition commission, and to spend several months, paying his own expenses while talking up the enterprise with the leading men. All he asks is transportation, which I am sure will be freely furnished. "President McKinley. when he reaches Portland, will very likely break ground for the exposition, and suggest a name. Of course the exact location of the build ings has not yet been decided on, but Mr. McKinley can break ground for mally in one of the Park blocks. He has been communicated with On .the sub ject, and does not seem unwilling, if the reception committee can arrange matters so that no inconvenience may result." Senator Corbett, who is chairman of the Oregon Exposition Commission, was pres ent at the meeting yesterday, and made many -timely suggestions in regard to the details. He thought "Pacific Oriental Centennial'.' would be an appropriate title, but he would like to hear from pthers on the matter. The President, of course, should be notified or given time to think over what was expected of him when he comes to Portland. Senator Corbett also thought that a tax of 2 mills on the assessed valuation of Portland would not be "very filling," as $100,000 would fall short of what would be needed. If the tax could be levied twice or three times between now and 1905, the amount could be brought up to respectable pro portions, but according to the act of the last Legislature, it can only be levied once, as the people of Portland have to vote on the proposition In June, 1902. He has no doubt, however, about "the tax being voted. Everything Is now in readiness for filing articles of incorporation, except the title of the exposition, which will perhaps not be decided on until President McKinley arrives. This will defer the Incorporators from placing the stock on the market, and in the meantime money will be needed for paying the accruing expenses. The total outlay thus far has been about $200, which Is thought very moderate, considering the work that has been done in obtaining the concordance of neighbor ing states and British Columbia. A com mittee was therefore appointed yesterday by Mr. Long to solicit subscriptions to a fund of $500, which will be required to draw from before the enterprise has been duly turned over to the incorporators. This committee is composed of A. E De vers, 'H. C. Campbell and Colonel James Jackson. Mr. Long was authorized to draw up a prospectus of the exposition, to be sent abroad, acquainting persons Interested with the purposes and resources of the enterprise. He will select his associates In the matter himself. AMOUNT OF MONEY REQUIRED. CIt May Votes to Tax Itself $50,000 for a Starter. The Oregonlan Is asked to state how much money the City of Portland is re quired to guarantee, In order to secure the Lewis and Clark Exposition here In 1905. The guaranty of no specific sum is required, but It will be necessary that a considerable sum. at money shall be raised andpn hand in order to have the fair. It Is provided that the citizens of Portland shall vote, at the next June election on-the question of levying a two mill tax for exposition purposes. This will raise some $50,000, and then the mon eyed citizens must subscribe say $250,000 more After this is done the Legislature will be asked to provide $250,000 more, and then Congress will be appealed to for an appropriation for the exposition. As to whether the exposition will be held or not, It all depends upon the necessary amount of money being raised. The prospects ap pear favorable for securing the necessary amount. It would be the" proper thing to levy a two-mill tax every year from now to 1905 for exposition purposes, as this would make the raising of the money re quired a mubh easier proposition. Cleaning: Streets. Superintendent Ferjruson yesterday put a Sellwood man to work cleaning streets at Sellwood, who will be engaged about one week. Owing to the condition of the sidewalks, crosswalks and streets at Sellwood only the gutters and crosswalks can be cleaned, but with the movement Inaugurated, there are prospects of complete cleaning up of all Sellwood. All vacant blocks are to be cleaned of rubbish. Brush anci stumps are to be burned. This is under the di rection of the Sellwood Sub-Board of Trade, which makes an earnest appeal to the owners of all property to co-operate in this work. Mr. Ferguson also has placed a force at work in McMUlen's addition and will give the streets there a thorough cleaning. East Side streets generally are being cleaned up. BUSINESS ITEMS.

Factory Will Be- ia Operation. by Fall Flans of the Port land Company. Portland's -woolen mill Is a surety. The money Is ready. All that remains to be done Is to select a site. The Portland Woolen Mills Cmpany, -which Is behind the enterprise, -will begin In a modest ay with a capital of $50,000. It will manu facture goods for which experience has taught there Is a market at home and abroad. It is the purpose of the pro moters to have the factory In operation hV -R'nll SiipVi was thi Rtatemfint of "W. P. Olds, president of the company, to an oregoman reporter yesterday. " "There Is no doubt that the -woolen mills will be a go," Mr. Olds continued. "The only question unsettled Is that of select ing a site, and we are giving It careful consideration. We are looking at a num ber of places In the vicinity of Port land, and will pick out the one which offers the greatest Inducement In the way of economical production. Most of our machinery we have already bought from the Dallas mill, and we are negotiating for the remainder. "I have heard It said that a woolen mill for Portland should have $500,000 capi tal. After a close study of economic con ditions and markets, I cannot agree with this position. Still. If anyone desires to come here with $500,000 capital I shall not complain. A big mill would not hurt our enterprise. For our company, I will say that what we do wlllj be done eco nomically and well. We are going to prove -what can be done with a woolen mill at Portland, and then If there Is busi ness In sight we shall enlarge. We are nbt going Into business with the idea of manufacturing all the grades of woolen goods which one finds in the markets of the world. We shall manufacture what we know we can make economically and well and sell at a profit. Among these 1 might class clothes for men's wear, and blankets. The experience of the Dallas mill has demonstrated this. If success attend our enterprise we shall keep pace with the Increased demand and venture Into the manufacture of worsted goods. "There Is no class of textiles that can be worked so cheaply In Oregon as wool. With us It Is a raw material which offers .great Inducements to utilization. We grow It and it Is one of our staple products. We cannot 'manufacture cotton goods, as we should have- to buy our raw material from the South, which Is several thou sands of miles away from us. The Pacific Coast manufacturer of woolen goods can get wool cheaper than his Eastern com petitor for the reason that the East buys Its wool from the West and pays freight In addition to the original cost of raw material. In shipping manufactured goods, rnMof rrmnufAotiirers have .the advan- jtage over those of the East In that the raw material costs them less, and that the freight rate to he East on a pound of manufactured goods is practically the same as that otl a pound of raw wool. The advantage of utilizing the raw pro duct at home and shipping the finished goods to the Eastern market at about the same rate that raw wool takes is an Important one. "We shall put a small amount of our stock on the market, "but the control of the company will continue In the hands of those who have organized It. We hope It will not be Inferred from this time that we are setting up a speculative en terprise, cr that we are trying to get $2 for $1. It is a plain business undertaking to be conducted by men who have given careful study to the manufacture and sale of woolens. Jt is going to be a suc cess." The officers of the company, in addition to Mr Olds, are: Fred Carter, vice-president; Charles Coopey, second vice-president; E. L. Thompson, secretary and treasurer. All are practical woolen men. The spinning, weaving and dying depart ments of the mill will be In charge of the Carters father and two sons all experts In their lines. They learned the business in the woolen mills of Yorkshire, England. SALE'REALIZED OVER $27,000 Report of Receiver of Defunct Port land Savings Bank.
