EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ACTION Stockholders of Exposition Hold An nnnl Meeting and Re-elect DI rectors President's and. Secretary's Reports. , 7 i t I The City Park appears now to have the best chance to be selected as tho site for the Lewis and Clark Pair and Centennial. The subcommittee on site has reported In Its favor, and the report has been tentatively adopted by the executive committee, -with the uncer etanjlnz that the entire matter shall so before the executhe committee for consideration on Its merits. The sub committee rejects any East Side site confining Its discussion to Hawthorne Park because of cost and comparative Inaccessablllty; and It favors the City Park because of Its central location, unique advantages for scenic beauty and slghtl arrangement of buildings, and because Improvements may beoeme permanent possessions of the city. 4 The first definite step toward selection of an Exposition site for the Lewis and Clark celebration In 1905 was taken yes terday morning, when the report of the subcommittee to which the matter had been referred was presented'to the execu tive committee of the Lewis and Clark Corporation. This subcommittee consisted of Messrs. Wesslngcr. Mills and Dresser. Its report discussed briefly the -scope of the Lewis and Qlark. Exposition and its probable needs. Ii considered only two of the sites that have been mentioned in connection with the fair thp Hawthorne tract and the City Park and Its conclu sions were in favor of the City Park. There was some discussion of the report before a vote on Its adoption was taken, Messrs. Frlede and Mallory being unwill ing to take action that would amount to closing the question. With the under standing that the report should go formal ly before the Board of Director, where there would bo full opportunity for Its consideration, the subcommittee's report was formally adopted by the executive committee. It now stands In the executhe committee, and Is expected to be reported to the board at Its regular monthly meet ing next Friday, The full report of the subcommittee Is printed elsewhere In this paper. The meeting of the executive committee was held half an hour before the time for the annual meeting of the stockholders. When 10 o'clock arrived the committee work, had been disposed of and the stock holders were called to order by President CorbetL About CO w ere present. A con siderable number of proxies -were on file, and all told there were represented at the meeting $200,000 of the capital of the corporation. President Corbett occupied the chair, and also served as Inspector of election. His first report to the stock holders wras presented, as follows: President Corbctt's Report. To the Stockholders of the Lewis and Clark Centennial and American Pacltlc Exposition and Oriental Fair: The move ment for an Industrial exposition at Port land In 1J05 to commemorate the 100th an nlereary of the first and greatest of American exploring expeditions, inaug urated by the Oregon Historical Society at Its annual meeting In 1900. took defi nite shape In the Incorporation, October 12. 1S0L of the Lewis and Clark Centen nial and American Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair, with a capital of 300.000. In submitting my first annual report to HHi r y " tML? iTiiHMMiisiii'iffr . Jon 'ffMwTrLi r . ' rrrr z.c.' .' , . r t" tn the stockholders It la a pleasure to con gratulate the people of Portland upon their generous response to the call for sub scriptions, and for establishing the cor poration upon a solid basis. The effort called our latent energy into action, and few cities of our country have ever ac quitted themselves so creditably as Port land, did last Fall in promoting a public enterprise. The formation of the company was promptly follow ed by an Invitation to our citizens to co-operate with the corporators' committee for the purpose of placing the capital stock. A preliminary organisation was formed, subscription committees were appointed, and after the plans had been carefully laid, the 25th day of November, J torn n. j,.Ii-j v,i-i- y,a canvase. At the suggestion of one of our most prominent business men, Mr. Adolphe "Wolfe, now a member of our board of directors. It wao neclded to press the canvass and to complete it In twoda3, if practicable. The result has passed into history as one of Portland's energetic achievements. It was gratlfjlng to tnose who from the ery start had been the friends of the exposition project, and sur prising to the few who had mistaken Portland's traditional conservatism- for lack of public spirit. The two days' effort resulted, when all the returns were received, in subscriptions amounting to $340,000. - The capitalization limit fixed In the articles of Incorporation having been passed, an increase became necessary, and at the special meeting of the stock holders held February 14. 1902,. the new mark was placed at $500,000. to enable subscriptions to be taken outelde of Port land. The state political campaign, one of the most hotly contested In the history of Oregon, opened shortly afterward, and had th effect, for the time being, of making our exposition a secondary con sideration in the minds of the people The new stock has not been taken up as well as had been hoped, partly because the city was "w ell canvassed last Nov em ber, and outside tho city little has been done, but there is good reason to hope that It will alt be placed and In time be of use to us for the purpose of our expo sition. Total Subscriptions $355,012. Subscriptions received to date aggregate 25.431.2 shares of the par value of $351,312. wnicn added to donat'ons of $iu), makes the grand total $355,012. "We have jet to hear from the trans-j continental railroads, from whlcn t.c ex- pect In time to receive a substantial sub- i scrlptlon. Steps have been taken to se cure an appropriation from the State of ' Oregon, at the special session of the Leg- 4 l2o tnra 1 ama eVinlt Ka Vilrf An An ili & appropriation would show neighboring states our earnest purpose in themattcr, and if not at such a session, at the regu lar session In January. 1903. The matter of an appropriation by the National Government will be formally laid before Congress at its session in Decem ber next, and the Legislatures of "Wash- i lngton, Idaho, Montana. Wyoming. Cali fornia, Utah, Nevada, Missouri and other ; states, which will meet In January, 1S03, . will be asked to make appropriations for exhibits. As Congress and the Legislatures ; of the various states which w e shall In- vlte to participate In our exposition Willi be governed to a large extent by what we ourselves do. the early completion of our capitalization to $500,000 and a liberal appropriation by the State of Oregon are of tho utmost importance. The measure of success which shall attend our under taking is In a degree dependent upon these contingencies. On January 13, 1902. the etockholders of the company held their first meeting and elected the following directors: H. W. Corbett. H. W. Scott. Adolphe Wolfe, Paul Wesslnger, A. H. Devers, Hufus Mallory. John F. O'Shca. Leo Frlede. Charles E. Ladd. William D. Fen- 1 ton, A. L. Mills, Q W. Bates, I. N. Flelschner. W. D. -Wheelwright, F. Dres ser. On January 21, 1902. .the directors com- Sleted the organization of the company y electing the following officers: H. W. Corhctt, president. H. W. Scott, vice-president First National Bank, treasurer. Henry E. Reed, secretary. Only three of the committees provided for in the by-lawo have been appointed: These are the executive committee, the ways and means committee and the advis ory committee. On February 14, 1902. the stockholders, at a special meeting called for the pur pose, adopted by-laws. The directors had hoped to be able to report to this meeting the location of the site where the fair of 1903 Is to be held, but the problem, notwithstanding the large number of tenders made by property-owners. Is not an easy one to solve. Seven sites, all more or less desirable and of varying acreage, have been offered, but the board has withheld Its decision pend ing the receipt from Omaha, San Fran cisco and other cities where fairs have been held In recent years, of detailed in- i formation bearing upon the proximity of site to the trade center or tne city, gate receipts, transportation, etc Tho direc tors hav.e deemed it wise to defer their decision on this all-Important subject until they have received and carefully consid ered all the data obtainable. They are mindful that the amount of money which they will have at their d!spoai must be carefully considered, and that a false move on the question of site would be a costly one. The main consideration with regard to the site Is its ability to attract attendance; In other words, to promote gate receipts. All other considerations dwindle before the Item of gate receipts and the consequent Increased value ot concesHlons, etc., for the exposition will cost money and revenue will be required to meet expenses, guard against defi ciencies and Insure success.

He laid the matter be fore the ChlejC of Engineers, and at his suggestion telegraphed Captain Langfltt, asking him to take this request Into con sideration. If It Is found that there Is authority for changing the project from that specified In the bill, and Captain Langfltt favors the dredging, the change will be authorized. Senator Mitchell also urged expqdlton In carrying out the) work on the Columbia River.

Indian "War Veterans' Claims Will Be Taken "Up In Reprnlnr Order. WASHINGTON. July ".It will be probably six months before the first pen sion Is granted under the Indian War veterans' bill recently passed, as claims of this character will be considered In their order along with' all others that recah the Pension Office, and cannot be made special, although the Oregon dele gation requested tlut,th!s be done. The attention to details In furnlshlng'the evi dence will largely determine the time in which 'allowances can be made. In speaking of these claims, a prominent official of the Pension Office said today: "This office. In preparing application blanks for the Indian War veterans, "has BEDS AT THn CITY PARK. endeavored to make it very plain just what evidence will be required, and just what steps each claimant will have to pursue In order to secure an allowance. Except in, rare cases, there will be no reason why veterans cinnot make out and file their own claims. Probably the best thing for these veterans to do. after they make ''out their applications accord ing to our instructions, and hae their testimony sworn to, and the proper affi davits attached, will be to file their pa pers In the Pension Office, through their Senators or Representatives. The mem bers of the delegation will be advised Ju3t what evidence Is required, and if any applications-' submitted to them are found lacking, the attention of the claimant can at "once be called-to the fact and the de ficiency supplied. Such cases as are found complete will "then come to us for actI6n, and will be duly considered. It niajtibe neqessary to appoint a few extra examiners to - report upon claims from the Indian War Veterans berieflted by the new law, but these appointments will only be temporary. "In case any veteran finds frlmself un able to furnish the evidence required, or does not understand what Is asked for. and cannot conveniently communicate wlth a Senator or "Representative, it might be well for him to file his applica tion through an attorney, but I do not anticipate that there will be much or any demand for this assistance. On the whole, unless a case involves some tech nicality, I believe the emplojment of at torneys will be an unnecessary expense to the veterans." MILES' SPEECH TO CO UXXOTICED. Wnr Department AVill Aot Cull Gen- eral to Acconnt. WASHINGTON, July 7. The War De partment and the Administration refuse to take any notice of the Fourth of July speech of General Miles, although the enemies of Miles have urged some action. The general impression Is that Miles de livered .the speech for no other purpose than to Irritate the Administration. He has been severely-criticised In some of the papers, which call attention-to his misstatements regarding the Cubans and the Filipinos as allies of the United States. Secretary Root was questioned about the address, and replied that It seemed a very nice speech, and refused to be drawn Into any controversy with the Commanding General on the subject. It has apparently been decided by the Administration that a let-alone policy will be pursued regarding Miles. He Is abso lutely Ignored In the management of de partment affairs, and no attention v III be paid to any act of his, unless It Is point edly a breach of military discipline. dominated for Conprress.

Since Tracy, the escaped convict, left the Johnson home Saturday afternoon at Port Madison, with his unwilling companion, Anderson, the hired man. absolutely no real clew has been discov ered as to his whereabouts.

They cajne to Seattle -too late to be taken to Port Madison as at first intended. Un less the murderer bobs up again in Kitsap County, the hounds will not be taken across Puget Sound.

Investigation today showed that the re ports of Tracj's presence in Kitsap Coun ty were unfounded. The man seen by the Indian women of the Port Madison reser vation proved to be a crippled beach comber. He carried a rifle, and In sev eral wajs bore a slight resemblance to tho murderer.
