Athletic Amusements on Extensli e Scale Are Projected Headquar ters to Be Opened Today. The general committee, for the 1901 carni val held a meeting last night. Probably the most Important matter discussed was that of athletic amusements. While no definite plans were agreed upon, the com mittee on amusements was Instructed to hold a meeting with the special committee appointed by the Multnomah Club with a view to preparing an athletic programme. It is probable that a championship ath letic meet will be lield on the Multnomah grounds during the carnival, but this will not by any means be the most interest ing feature of. the athletic end of the carnival. Several members at last night's meeting discussed the proposition of hav ing a football game under electric light, and an indoor baseball game, as well as tugs of war, wrestling and sparring matches. This matter will be fully dis cussed at the meeting of the amusement committee to be held next Tuesday night. The various soliciting committees for the guarantee fund made a partial report last night. Over 513,000 has already been subscribed, and the Intention is to bring this amount up to the full $15,000 before the meeting of the general committee next Wednesday night, at which time it Is "hoped to close up the soliciting part of the work. The secretary was instructed to rent rooms 234 and 235, Chamber of Commerce .building, for headquarters for the general committee. This will be done today, and by this afternoon the headquarters will be fully established and open. It is probable that at the meeting of the general committee next Wednesday night a superintendent for the exposition department of the carnival will be select ed. Several applications for the position have been filed. At next Wednesday's meeting also it is hoped that the amusement committee, of which John F. Cordray Is chairman, will be able to present a general out line of the amusement and specialty feat ures of the carnival. While a detailed re port of this kind cannot be presented by that time, sufficient data can be given to enable the committee on advertising to issue and circulate some preliminary posters. It Is intended to advertise the carnival as far as Western Montana and Into California and Utah. No definite steps have yet been taken In regard to the competitive military drill. This, matter will be taken up very short ly, however. The aim Is to hang up a prize of sufficient magnitude to enable any military organization in the Northwest to compete for it WILL TRY TO PREVENT SALE Columbia County's Sheriff Will Sell Property for Taxes. Lawyer John P. Logan leaves today for St. Helens, Columbia County, to try to prevent the authorities from selling prop erty owned by his clients, heretofore bid In by the county for taxes, to which It has acquired title under the provisions of the tax redemption law. Mr. Logan holds that the Columbia County authori ties are acting prematurely in trying to dispose of such property at the present time. "The law reads that on the first Mon day after the first 0f Uuly the Sheriffs of counties shall proceed to sell such property." went on Mr. Logan. "Now. the Columbia County authorities began In June to advertise the sale of property In their county, 3o as to be able, as they construe the law, to begin to sell early In July. The Sheriffs of Multnomah and Clatsop counties have not proceeded in such fashion. In Multnomah County, such properties are to be advertised for sale the present month. Sales will take place in August." In this connection it Is understood that the Clatsop County authorities are not to avail themselves of the provisions of this law, and that if the question is taken into court . a defense will be made that the law Is unconstitutional. MAYOR R0WE BREAKS GROUND Site Where 1000 Will Be Made Wood men on August 3. Fully 2500 Woodmen and "Wood women" went out to Mount Tabo'r last night to see Mayor Howe break ground where on August 3 1000 men will be conducted through the mysteries of perfected wood craft. The two cars which had been reserved for the Mayor, the orator, J. M. Long, and the committeemen, left Third and Yamhill streets at 7:30. They were decorated with patriotic colors, flowers and evergreen and presented a beautiful appearance. A band of 50 pieces discoursed music along the route. On arriving at the hill the party pro ceeded to the place selected for the cere monies. George K. Rogers, secretary of the executive committee, by request, acted as chairman of the meeting. He Introduced Mayor Rowe, who. after a short talk, eulogizing fraternal orders, in general, stated that his opinion of the Woodmen of the World was best expressed by the fact that his son was a Woodman on his recommendation. The Mayor then grasped the spade which had been spec ially selected and inscribed for the occa sion, and, like a true knight of the shovel drove It deep into the earth, bringing up a goodly shovelful of ferns and mosses. City Attorney J. M. Long was next in troduced. Mr. Long Is eloquent at all times, and was especially so on this occasion. His similes between the forest, "God's first temple," and symbolic Wood craft, were very happy, and he was greeted with words of applause. Ho traced the origin and development of fra ternalism and told of Its benefits to mankind. The bulwark of the country, today, he said, is fraternallsm. The numerous organizations protect the home, make better citizens and teach their members to look to the future. At the close of the oration, refresh ments were served. The spot in the ravine selected for the great initiation proved to be all that has been claimed for It, and It will he an inspiring sight to witness the 1000 neo phytes go through the ceremonies of the order, with the sides and end of the ra vine filled with 10,000 Woodmen onlookers. ARSON IS CHARGED. E. J. Redman Arrested for Firing' Grant-Street House. On hearing that there was a warrant out for his arrest, charged with setting fire to the house at 2S9 Grant street E. J. Redman, colored, called yesterday at the -police station and surrendered him self, and he was locked up. The warrant for Redman's arrest was Issued on the complaint of his father-in-law, Rueben Crawford, a ship caulker, who states that Redmond committed arson In setting fire to the Crawford residence, 289 Grant street, last Monday morning. The fire caused small damage. In conversation with an Oregonlan man last night Red man stated: "I am a waiter by trade, and I work for the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. The action of Craw, ford In getting roe arrested is Just spite work. I married his daughter, and she and I have not been together for three months, but she sent me letters all the time I worked on the cars, and there is no trouble between us. Last Monday I was not In the neighborhood of 289 Grant street, I was then In ray own room on Ninth street, and don't know anv thing about the fire." - .

Good Their Promises to Pay The Taxes for 1890. The County Clerk Is etill engaged in collecting back taxes, as Jhe sale of prop erty by the Sheriff under the new law will not occur until the beginning of Au gust. The delay Is because the list of property which Is now being prepared will not be finished before that time. This list will bring the delinquent taxes against property for the years 1888 to 1895, inclusive, up to date. "When this has been accomplished it will be possible to tell at a glance just how much back taxes are against any piece of property. Many people have not heretofore paid such taxes for the reason that they do not know how much they owe, and the Clerk cannot tell them without searching through the old rolls covering years' past. This would sometimes have involved days of labor. They have promised in many Instances to settle up when the work now In hand has been completed. Many persons, for example, owe back taxes on long lists of property, and it Is no easy, task for the deputies In the County Clerkks office to ascertain the amount due, taking In a period of 8 or 10 years, on a long list of property. The rolls since 1S95 ara in better shape, the property being assessed by description instead of t6 the name of the owner, and are much more readily gone through. The taxes are being brought forward only to Include the year 1895, as under the law the sale covers only property here tofore bid in by the county, to which the county has acquired title, and property for the year 1895 is the last to which the county has obtained title because of non redemption by the owner. The work of bringing these old taxes up to date is a ?low process, but the collections which will be made as a result wjll very much more than recompense the county for the outlay. New books are being print ed, arranged in perfect form to accom modate the new entries. It has been necessary, in order to ac complish the end desired, to copy all of the descriptions of property from the old rolls, each on to a slip of paper, with the amount of taxes due, etc These slips are sorted alphabetically This brings all the slips containing the same piece of property together, and also discloses double assessments or other errors.. The work of ascertaining the total tax due and costs is then an easy matter. County Clerk Holmes has received the 1899 tax roll, sold several months ago by the Sheriff, and persons who desire to re deem for this year may now do so. Bicycle taxes are coming in slowly. Only 2900 tags have been disposed of, the money for which has been turned over to the County Treasurer by Sheriff Fra zler. No outside collectors will be put in the. field until some city paths have been built. "When this has been done it is thought that many bicyclists will pay willingly, and that a lot of money can be gathered in without fighting for It. must have money to carry on Its work. Hall rent, .has to be paid and stationery must be" usjd. Many residents who can not attend Wn help the work along by sending In their names and paying 2a cents a month. S. P. White, president, has taken hold of the matter. GREAT ANNUAL MID SUMMER CLEARANCE SALE-.
