Lewis and Clark Directors
Make a Change.
WHAT WILL MR. HARR1HAN DO?
Asked to Make Known "WTint May Be
. Expected of Railroads Co-operation
Witn Great Falls
Centennial.
The time for the regular meetings of
the Iiewls and Clark board of directors
was yesterday changed from the second
Tuesday to the second Friday In each
month. The next meeting will be a week
from today at i P. M. The appointment
of J. M. Long to have charge of the work
of canvassing the state for subscriptions
to stock, and of C. H. Mclsaac to com
plete the canvass In the city, were ap
proved. A telegram was sent to San
Francisco declaring the Importance of
knowing at once what might be expected
from the Harrlman lines In the way of
aid for the Iewis and Clark celebration,
and suggesting the propriety of Portland
Officials now there taking the matter up
with Mr. Harrlman. Great Falls, Mont.,
was assured of the good will of the Lewis
and Clark Centennial for Its own pro
posed celebration , of the centennial of the
discovery of the Great Falls of the Mis
souri by the same explorers whose ex
reditlon Is to be commemorated here.
Upon calling the meeting to order. Pres
ident Corbett announced that the special
business to be transacted was to change
the by-laws so as to provide for a more
convenient day for the stated meetings
of the body. Director Scott moved that
section 1 of article 4 of the by-laws be
amended by substituting the word Friday
for Tuesday, which was duly passed. This
.was upon a report of Secretary Reed
showing that Friday would suit more
members than any other day.
On motion of Director Wheelwright, the
design of Grant C. Bushnell for a cor
porate seal was formally adopted and
bids for making the seal were Invited.
Mr. Wheelwright also moved that Di
rectors Friede and Devers be constituted
a special committee to confer with D.
M Dunne about a design for buttons to
advertise the Lewis and Clark Centennial
at the time of the T. P. A. and. A. O. Uv
W. conventions to be held In Portland
next month, and the motion was car
ried. Secretary Reed reported some corre
spondence he had had with the Business
Men's Association, of Great Falls, Mont.,
pertaining to the proposed celebration of
the 100th anniversary of the discovery of
the Great Falls of the Missouri River
by Lewis and Clark. The gist of the
matter was that the people of Great
Falls expect to have such a celebration,
but that the details for it will not be ar
ranged until the return of Senator Paris
Gibson, founder of the town, after the
close of the present session of Congress.
"As I understand It," said Mr. Scott,
"that celebration will be a local affair,
to continue not longer than a week, and
it will be held early in 1903, certainly not
later than the early part of May, If the
journals of the explorers are to be re
garded In setting the date. That will In
no way interfere with our proceeding;
but we will naturally take an Interest in
that celebration and should take such
action as shall seem fitting. It would
probably be well to send a delegation over
there and extend neighborly courtesies
and get their favor for our enterprise."
Director Mills suggested that the board
should also enter into correspondence
with Senator Gibson with reference to the
Great Falls celebration, and Incidentally
enlist his interest in the Lewis and Clark
Centennial.
President Corbett said It would be Im
portant to get the co-operation of Senator
Gibson, both In the arrangement of the
Great Falls celebration and for his influ
ence In Congress when the Lewis and
Clark Centennial should come before that
body for favors, and he thought It would
be well to enter Into correspondence with
him, as well as with the Great Falls peo
ple direct. On motion of Director Wheel
wright the president and secretary were
directed to write letters In accordance
with the suggestion of the chair.
The ways and means committee report
ed thatMt had appointed C. H. Mclsaac
to complete the canvass of the city for
stock subscriptions, and J. M. Long to
take entire charge of the canvass of the
state outside of Multnomah County, and
asked that this action be ratified. The
board approved the appointments.
The question of urging upon -the atten
tion of E. H. Harrlman the matter of
aiding the Lewis and Clark celebration
was brought up, and a considerable In
formal discussion ensued, the outcome of
which was that the following telegram
was directed to be sent at once to Direc
tor Fenton, as chairman of the ways and
means committee of the Lewis and Clark
Centennial, who is now In San Francisco
with a gathering of officials of the Har
rlman -lines:
Would It not be practicable for you to have
a conference with Mr. Harrlman, first consult
ing Mr. Mohler and Mr. Koehler, as to sub
scription for Lewis and Clartc Centennial? It
is Important that we should know at once what
railroads are likely to do. H. W. SCOTT,
Chairman Transportation Committee.-
President Corbett said he would sup
plement this with a personal message di
rect to Mr. Harrlman.
The matter of levying the first assess
ment on the stock was mentioned, but It
was finally left for the meeting next
week.
Sites for the Exposition.
To correct an Impression that seems to
have become quite general. Secretary
Reed says the site for the Lewis and
CJark Exposition will not be selected to
morrow. The proposals for sites are ex
pected to be In the secretary's hands to
morrow, but they will not even be opened
until the executive committee shall meet
for that purpose, some time" next week.
And it Is not supposed that any one site
will be so clearly superior to all the oth
ers that the selection can be made In a
minute. Careful consideration will be
given the matter, and it cannot now bo
stated just when a conclusion will be
reached.
At yesterday's meeting of the board
some of the directors said they had re
ceived numerous letters relating to the
selection of an exposition site, but all the
.letters were in favor of a single location.
