ELKS PLANNING URGE
MEAN TO - HAVE GARNTVAI THAT
WI1.L BEAT THE BECOItD.
Imposing 'Lint of Parades Decided
Upon Scats to Be Sold Along
the "Line o, March.
The Portland Elks' Carnival managing
committee met last evening, accepted the
report of the committee on parades, lis
tened to the yeports of various other com
mittees, and adjourned to meet again to
morrow evening.
The first report heard -was from the
committee on badxres, which was author
ized to purchase and distribute 10,000 offi
cial buttons, to be worn by the Elks and
theri friends throughout the state. The
buttona will be ready for distribution in
a few days.
The managing committee decided to
adopt the rules of the carnival of 1900
concerning the exhibits, space for which
Trill be granted free to all who desire It,
The carnival will open September 1. at 2
P. M., and continue until the evening of
September 13.
The matter of an official programme was
discussed at last evening's meeting, and
it was decided to authorize proposals for
It at once.
Imposing' Parades.
The report of tne committee on parades,
which was adopted, is as follows:
We, your committee on parade for the grand
carnival, this Fall, would respectfully give
you an outline of what we would suggest, and
What wo would like to see carried out. You
are all aware that the parades are the largest
drawing cards In every public undertaking,
and the grander you can make them the larger
the returns. "We have submitted a large out
line of what we think would draw, and the
only thing that will prevent it is a. lack of
funds. In making our estimate, we have tried
to bo conservative, as you are aware that ex
penses will creep up. However, we are of the
opinion- that, by careful management, expenses
will and can be kept down.
One of the four parades should Interest every
citizen In the-Northwest. the floral and harvest
parade. Oregon never had a season when she
should more gratefully acknowledge It by a
demonstration than for Ihe season of 1802. The
same statement may be applied to the laboring
and manufacturing people -of this year. With
a little co-operation of these people, we could
make one of the grandest demonstrations that
was ever held on the Pacific Coast, San Fran
cisco sot excepted.
All of the parades will require numerous
floats. The wagons can be secured from any
of the Implement companies free of charge,
also tho horses for drawing the floats can be
gotten from- the transfer companies free of
cost, so that that expense would be kept down
-to a minimum. The matter of expense will
probably not be xnoro than it was two years
ago.
Another recommendation that we would sub
mit Is putting up seats on the parade line of
march to ba sold at a reasonable price. There
axe many people who "would not hesitate to pay
i small sum for a good seat from which they
could review tho parade. The grand marshal
will arrange the parades so that the people
will be protected in these seats, so far as ob
servation may be concerned.
All that we would suggest Is that if you are
to have parades, make them grand, so that
people will come tp see them from all over
the Northwest. You will get them Into your
carnival by dolmr so, and the business men
will havo a chance of getting their money
back. It Is the opinion of the committee that
the parade should excel anything that has ever
been undertaken, or that can be for some time
to come in this section of the country. We
would make? the following suggestions that the
parades be held on tho dates named In carni
val week: ,
September 1 A grand labor and manufactur
ers display and demonstration, to be made
by tho laborers and manufacturers of this
state.
September 4 Elks' day, on which all efforts
should be made by every Elk In the Northwest
to make it one of tho grandest days of the
carnival, and one that will be long remem
bered. September G Railroad men, travelers' and
commercial day. Theso two organisations
should work together and make a splendid
demonstration on that occasion.
September 10 Societies, floral and harvest
day should be largely under the auspices of
the prominent officers and ladles of the city.
and as previously stated, there Is no reason
why tho harvest representation should not be
the grandest of the parade.
September 13 The -closing evening should be
dovotod to a grand MardI Oras night or a spec
tacular parade. In which every one should Join
in a good time for the grand finale of the
Elks' carnival. The music would be about all
that wo would want for the closing day, as
that would be In the evening, which, with
torch-lights and fireworks, would make a very
attractlvo demonstration. Also the various
floats which would be In the several parades,
might be utilized on this particular occasion.
O. SUMMERS.
Chairman of Committee on Parades.
TOOK HIM FOR TRACY.
"JlarJCOTTingr Experiences ot J. W.
Baker, of Portland.
Travelers must be careful to appear
commonplace these days, as anything
about their looks that is uncommon
enough to attract attention is liable to
brand them as either Tracy or one of his
accomplices. "Want of the observance of
this rule caused J. W. Baker and his two
"brothers much Inconvenience on a trip
that they havo just taken from Seattle
to Portland on a bicycle.
The three left Seattle last "Wednesday,
and bad on their bicycles a complete
camping outfit, and to ono of their wheels
was strapped a double-barreled shotgun.
People along the road could not see why
ordinary travelers should wish such an
outfit as this. People who would see them
would tell others of the strange sights,
and after some speculation they would
come to tho conclusion that the people
they had seen could be none other than
Tracy and two of his accomplices. Short
ly before they reached Castle Hock the
party was noticed and the Deputy Sheriff
at once notified. He rushed. in pursuit,
3ut when be arrived, Instead of finding
the desperate man ever ready to shoot, as
lie had read, he found a quiet trio waiting
to know what the matter was. The fact
that he was not instantly shot, if no
other, was enough to convince the deputy
that he did not have Tracy, and after a
lew words he let them go. Startled by
the impression that they were making,
the men were afraid to sleep out of doors
and went to the hotel and got rooms, and
thought that they would now be left in
peace. After the deputy had told his tale,
however, the rest of the posse were of
opinion that their worthy deputy had
been fooled, and insisted that the men
ehould be found and searched for marks
that would Identify them. Accordingly
in the middle of the night the travelers
were awakened by a knock at the door
and instructed that they were prisoners.
Of course, they did not resist, and allowed
the officers to search for the marks that
were described as identifying Tracy until
they were content that they were not
letting the bold outlaw slip from their
bands, and went on their way In peace,
Mr, Baker says that his whole trip was
characterized by Just this sort of ex
periences, and that in every town that
he went through the report was circu
lated that Tracy was in the city, and the
children would venture as near as they
thought was safe and speculate as to
svhich of the party was Tracy.
Mr. Baker has ieen quite honored by
the outlaw since his escape. The Miss
Baker who was detained In the Gerralls
house for several hours by Tracy is his
daughter. He says that the report that
the outlaw asked his daughter to dance
with him is false, and that he was per
fectly polite, and treated the ladies with
the utmost courtesy during the whole
stay there. He also related to them the
way In which he killed Merrill, and asked
that she give the report correctly. Mr.
Baker was also an intimate friend of Po
liceman Breesc, killed by Tracy, and was
near the place of battle at the time
the shooting occurred.
Books That Encourage Vacations.
The Great Northern Railroad. has Just
sent out three pocket-size pamphlets cal-1
culated to refresh people who have, grown
tired of brick walls and lltfered desks
and sizzling sunshine. One is entitled
"Beauty Spots," and pertains to the Lake
Park region of Minnesota. Another
treats of Lake McDonald, a charming
sheet of water nestling in the mountains
at the crown of the continent in North
western Montana. Another fat pam
phlet is entitled, "Shooting and. Fishing."
and it covers all the territory' served di
rectly by the Great Northern lines. It is
adorned with a great number of illustra
tions calculated to make one easily wear
led of city life in hot weather. The little
book carries a lot of valuable informa
tion about the game laws df the states
and the facilities for reaching the hunt
ing grounds and taking an outing that
will toughen the muscles and add 100 per
cent to the capacity of the lungs. City
Ticket Agent Dixon yesterday received a
full supply of these attractive booklets.
RIGHT OF WAY WAR.
Denver, Xorthvreatern Jfc Pacific Ap
propriates an Old Grade.
DENVER, July 2L The announcement
was made today that the new Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific Railroad Com
pany has jut a force of men into South
Boulder Canyon, near Rollinsvllle, about
CO miles northwest of Denver, and begun
the work of grading. Some time ago the
Denver, Utah & Pacific Railway Company
surveyed a line through this canyon and
built a grade. No rails were laid, and the
lino was subsequently sold to the Bur
lington. It is said the latter company has
just learned of the action of the new road,
and that legal proceedings will be begun
at once to stop the alleged encroachment.
A lively right-of-way war is looked for.
BETTER SERVICE FOR ST. JOHNS.
Process of Electrifying Motor Line
THventy-Mlnute Schedule.
Trolley cars will soon be making trips
between Portland and SL Johns on a 20
minute schedule. The line Is to be
changed into an electric 'railway as rapid
ly as possible. The poles and trolley
wire have been placed in position from
the ntw Junction on Kllllngsworth ave
nue, near "Williams avenue, to University
Park, and the work is going right ahead.
Between Portsmouth and St. Johns the
main line will be shortened. Instead of
making a swing around toward the north
by Cedar Park it will take a direct course,
cutting off about a mile. However, tue
old line will be retained, and the cars In
returning will go around the present
route. A loop will thus be formed and a
large district will be accommodated.
Also the Mississippi-avenue branch that
now ends at Shaver street, in Multnomah
Addition, is to be extended to a connec
tion with the St. Johns line at the inter
section of Michigan and Kllllngsworth
avenues. This branch will swing over
on to Michigan avenue and thence north
ward to the connecting point.
These changes will provide the Penin
sula with excellent street-car facilities.
The railway owns a block of ground at
Ockley Green, and will have a station at
that point. There has been talk of an
other electric railway on. the Peninsula,
and a subsidy was raised, but nothing has
been heard of this enterprise for some
time. The people have been asking for
electric-car service to the center of the
city, and they will get It this FalL
LOS ANGELES-SALT LAKE ROAD.
Right of War tor the Line Hns Been
Finally Settled.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 2L Thomas
E. Gibbons, chief counsel for the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad,
has Just returned from New York. Dis
cussing plans, of Senator Clark's trans
continental railway. Gibbons said:
"My trip to New York principally had
to do with settling rights of way, and
that subject is disposed of. There is no
alliance with the Oregon Short Line, and
I would not venture to predict the plans
of the Harriman people. "We have agreed
with them on the issues wherein they and
our people claimed certain Interests in
rights of way across the desert in Ne
vada. That matter now is settled for
good. The Interior Department in Wash
ington has approved our maps and the
route for the San Pedro, Los Angeles- &
Salt Lake Railroad is practically all de
cided. It is all settled through Nevada,
most of it is disposed of through Utah.
and a large part is agreed on in California.
Several small gaps have yet to be closed,
but these are not difficult."
Orders for steel have delayed progress
and has hampered the Clark transconti
nental railway enterprise, and Mr. Gib
bons today confirmed Eastern dispatches
that the situation in the American steel
market is so serious that the San Pedro,

agement has in consideration proposals
for rails submitted by German manufac

WOMAN JUMPS IN RIVER
SIRS. H. A. SMITH, 04 YEARS OLD,
COMMITS SUICIDE.
"Wlille Temporarily Insane, "Widow
of Well-Known Legislator
Drowns Herself.
Mrs. Harriet Ann Smith, widow of
Representative H. A- Smith, who recent
ly died, committed suicide late Sunday
night by Jumping into the "Willamette
River from tho Morrison-street bridge.
No one saw the rash act, and her body
was found floating around one" of tho
piers of the steel bridge about 8 o'clock
yesterday morning. The Coroner's Jury
last night decided that Mrs. Smith
drowned herself while suffering from
temporary aberration of mind.
The dead woman, who was 64 years
old, resided with her second, son, Ben
jamin F. Smith, a lumberman and milk
dealer, al 415 Prescott street. For some
time Mrs. Smith had been despondent
and her mind slightly unbalanced. She'
had threatened to commit suicide several
times before, but her son paid little at
tention to her threats. Sunday night her
son and his wife came over to the "West
Side, leaving .Mrs. Smith at home with
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Llbby, and her
daughter. Soon after his departure Mrs.
Smith said she was going out for a car
ride, and asked that they leave the door
unlocked. She crossed the street and
talked with a neighbor a few minutes,
and then took the Vancouver "car for
the "West Side. The transfer she received
from the conductor was found with her
effects, and was punched for 9:30 P. M.
She went across the Morrison-street
bridge about 10:30, Just before the draw
was opened to permit the passage of a
steamer. The brldgetcnder noticed her
and made some remark to her, but she
passed on and went across the bridge.
When the draw was closed, the man
walked over toward the East Side and
met the woman cdinlng back. She asked
him If tho last boat for Oregon City had
left, and when informed that it had, she
kept on toward the "West Side.
The bridgetender paid no more atten
tion to her, and she must have gone
through the gate that leads down to the
main pier of the bridge unnoticed by any
one. Cn the planking she left her coat,
purse, glasses, a note to her son and her
address. She made no outcry when she
jumped it; the river, and nothing was
known of her deed untllabout 4 o'clock
yesterday morning, whenthe articles left
by her on the pier were found. Her son
was Immediately informed of the tragedy.
Then the body was found.
The deceased left four children,
three sons and a daughter. They are:
Henry H., who is connected with a cir
cus, and 'his present whereabouts are un
known; Benjamin F "William C, Cas
cade Locks, and Mrs. Dora F. TowIer
Minneapolis.
Dr. Esther C. Pohl. one of the wit
nesses examined before the Coroner's
Jury, testified that she had acted as
medical adviser to Mrs. Smith, and that
the latter had suffered from melancholia,
and had been In weak health for several
years. No marks of violence were -found
on the body.
WILL BREAK CAMP TODAY
State Militiamen "Will Bid Good-Bye
to Albany.
CAMP "WILLIAMS, ALBANY, July 2L
Tomorrow Is the last day of the Oregon
National Guard encampment here, and
arrangements were being made today for
tho breaking up of camp. The heat which
has been so oppressive during the entire
encampment was not so bad todiy, and
the drill work was of a good character.
The regular routine of drilling was fol
lowed, and the showing made was much
better than at the beginning of the en
campment. The officers express them
selves as generally well pleased with the
work accomplished, and say that never
in tho history of the guard do they re
member of an encampment when the re
sults have been more satisfactory. Colonel
Yoran Is especially pleased with the work
of tho Fourth Regiment, and Is Justly
proud of the showing that It made. A
large number of Company A are veterans
of the Philippine "War, and have seen a
lot of service, and their example In the
work Is of'milch eervice in training the
others.
All of the Third Regiment have a kind
word for their Colonel, Edward Everett,
and say they have a superior officer from
whom they are proud to take orders. Both
of the regimental bands have been doing
good practicing since the beginning of the
week, the Third under the leadership of
Everest, of Portland, and the Fourth un
der McEIroy, of Eugene, and they both
render the best of music as the result of
their hard work.
All on Hand for Drill.
At the first call this morning, all of the
men were out and ready for drill. It was
evident from the first that the day was
not going to be as hot as the previous
days, and this, together with the good
night's sleep that the boys had had, made
them at their best for their day's work.
The large number of friends that had vis
ited the camp yesterday had kept tho
Guardsmen at home until evening, and
after they had left most of them retired
instead of going to the city, as Is th.elr
custom, and this morning there were more
men in good shape for their work and
fewer in the guardhouse.
The presence of the Vancouver troops,
trained as they are, and experienced In
the work, seemed to put the volunteers
on their metal, and the guard mount and
the morning drill work were exceptionally
fine. The number of people visiting the
camp was not as large as usual, and the
annoyance from the dust was lees than
on previous days.
On Dress Parade.
It was Colonel Everett's evening to re
view the dress parade, and the work was
completed with dispatch. The Vancouvef
troops were thoroughly rested from their
trip, and In the dress parade showed up
in fine form. Not only are they well
trained, but their horses are used to the
work, and they, presented a fine appear
ance as they rodo In review, every horse
in line and apparently understanding his
work as well as the rider. During the en
tire day the men about the camp could
be seen packing. up their belongings and
making ready for the breaking up of
camp tomorrow.
Although tha weather has been very un
pleasant during the stay here, there is a
novelty about camp life that Is attract
ive to most of the men, and the stay has
not been long enough to take away that
novelty. Some express themselves as
pleased that the encampment Is so near
at an end, but many more say they havo
really enjoyed the stay and would like to
have a few more days.
"I have attended every encampment for
three years." said one of the privates to
day, "and I have been at some where we
have had a great deal more fun than w,e
have had at this one, but it seems to me
that I hate to leave this camp the worst
of any yet. I like the drilling and like to
see the companies so that they can work
together, and I do not think I have ever
been In a camp where the' boys have done
as good work as they have here. Again,
in some of our encampments there has
been some trouble as to the allowance
and we have had a hard time about get
ting what we wanted to eat, but at this
'camp tho commissary department has
been at Its best and we have had no trou
ble of this kind."
Both the boys and the officers speak
well of the Albany people and the treat
ment they have received while here, and
say they will remember with pleasure the
many social functions that were given
for them during their stay. They have
been allowed every privilege In the city
and treated with the utmost courtesy.
, To the Albany people the sight of the
soldier boys and their khaki uniforms has

PAINE'S CELERY COM
POUND Will Banish the Summer Bines
and Other Distresses That
Make Life Miserable
and Unhappy.
This Is the season when we hear men
and women complaining about their un
happy and half-dead condition. They
find that physical and mental energy has
has deserted them, and they are sinking
deeply In the pit of despondency.
The hot Summer weather always pro
duces thousands of miserable feeling
mortals. They lack nerve force, strength
and true vitality. They cannot rest day
or night, and life becomes a burden.
The great recuperator, builder and
strength-giver for all weary .""wornout and

medical men. "When the great medicine
is used at this season, languor, despond

Mr. J. H. Clark. Newark. DeL, who was

"When I was attacked with -nervous

doctors. I continued to grow worse, and
consulted other physicians, but with very
little apparent good. No tongue can ex
press or pen describe my feelings and
suffering from this terrible disease. Aft
er spending considerable money in the
vain hope of bejng cured, I was led to
try Paine's Celery Compound, and It Is

I experienced night and day for years,

BOXES FOR RURAL MAIL
DEPARTMENT DECIDES Olf CHANGE
AFTER OCTOBER 1.
Receptacles "Will Be Stronger and
More Easy of Access for
the Carrier,
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. July 2L The Postoffice De
partment, after due Investigation by a
special board, has determined to make
several changes in Its regulations govern
ing boxes for rural free delivery routes.
.The new order is to go into effect October
1. After that time each person living
along a newly established rural route and
desiring to be served by rural carrier,
must erect, at his own cost, a box, In ac
cordance with the following specifications:
All square or oblong boxes must be of
not less than 20 standard-gauge sheet
Iron or steel, and galvanized, the edges
of which must be strengthened either by
folmng the metal back upon itself or by
riveting to the edges band Iron or steel
at least one-sixteenth of an Inch thick,
or by wiring with at least 10-gauge wire.
If the metal material is heavier than speci
fied, edge reinforcements are not neces
sary. Circular, semi-circular or round
ing boxes must be of not less than 22
gauge Iron or steel, with strengthened
edges.
All boxes must be made in the best
workman-like manner, and there must be
no Joints depending solely on solder to
hold different parts of the. box together,
but all Joints must be seamed, curled or
riveted. Covers, lids or encasements must
be strongly hinged or pivoted, and extend
sufficiently over the opening to protect
the mall within from rain, snow and dust.
Dimensions of the Boxes.
The dimensions of rural free delivery
boxes shall be. If square, or rectangular,
not less than 18x6x6 Inches; If cylindrical,
not less than IS inches long and 6 Inches
In diameter, the capacity to be not less
than 4SS cubic inches. Experience .has
shown that boxes opening at the side
or top are more convenient than those
opening at the end.
The department will Inspect sample
boxes made by different firms, and those
found to comply with the foregoing re
quirements will be authoritatively stamped
"Approved by the Postmaster-General."
Boxe thus marked will come under the
protection of the United States, and will
be safeguarded against destruction or In
jury, as the law provides a fine of not
more than J1C00 and Imprisonment for not
more than three years for all persons
mallclosuly tampering with United States
mall' boxes or their contents.
As to Location of Boxes.
Each box must be erected by the road
side, so that the carrier can easily obtain
access to If without dismounting from
his vehicle. The same box must not be
used for more than one family, or the
occupants of one nouse. Residents along
new routes, who, after October. 1, fail to
comply with these new requirements, will
not be served by rural carriers.
The 14 styles of boxes approved by the
department March 2S. 1901. will be accepted
as coming within the ' foregoing regula
tion when contracted. for. prior to October
1, but after that time the 14 manufactur

ers will be required to readjust their boxes
to meet new conditions.
In all service heretofore established,
and wherein inappropriate, unsafe and un
suitable boxes are In use, the department
will expect that patrons of rural free de
livery will conform as promptly as pos
sible to the new requirements, If they de
sire a continuance of rural free delivery.
The dtpartment Intends, without undue
haste or harshness, to secure a unlformlty
amonj rural routes, and to have the boxes
substantial and In appearance befitting
the recognition of the Government postal
service. Postmasters and rural carriers
will be permitted to advise proposed pat
rons of rural routes In the selection of
boxes, but shall not become agents of
Lbox manufacturers.
Decision In Bankruptcy Case.
ST. PAUL, July 2L The Circuit Court
of Appeals today filed a decision In a
bankruptcy case Involving the principle
that all unexempt property, which a bank
rupt has owned four months before the
filing of a petition against him, must be
distributed share and share alike among
his creditors.
The Fourth National Bank of St. Louis
held notes against the Slegel-HIllman
Dry Gdods Company, of that city, in the
aggregate aum of J60.000. Less than four
months oefore the latter was adjudged
bankrupt. It had paid on these notes the
sum of 514.C0O. Then the affairs of the
bankrupt company went Into the hands of
a referee. The trustee, S. L. Swartz,
moved that all the claims of the bank be
expunged unless It surrendered the 514,600
which had been paid on the notes It
held against the firm. The referee grant
ed the motion, and the bank applied to the
Federal District Court, which directed the
referee to deny the motion. Mr. Swartz
thereupon appealed the case to the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals, and the Judgment
or the lower court was reversed.
