Probability That Passengers Will Be Landed at Foot of Hill Tender tor Willamette Heights Tract . Hairthorne Parle While no 'definite Information as to the choice of a site for the Lewie and Clara. Exposition will be available before the meeting of the Board of Directors to night, and possibly not then, the pre liminary talk is to the effect that all but three or four of the offers are out of con sideration. The City Park site must be considered, it is said, with the under standing that passengers will be delivered at the bottom of the hill, which many deem equivalent to taking that locality out of the race, for there la great doubt about the practicability of a moving side walk or cable arrangements that will af ford adequate transportation into the fair grounds from the foot of the hill, and it la regarded as certain that money con tributed to the support of any such In cident of the fair would diminish the gate receipts. The projectors of the HUlsooro trolley line have given verbal assurance that they will be willing to run a, switch to the Exposition grounds in the City Park, which would give service from a source not heretofore counted on. Tiat is the line that seeks a franchise down Lovejoy street. The other trolley lines, it is said, find upon detailed examination of the matter that the figures for exten sions to the high ground in the City Park are somewhat more favorable than the first estimates, but yet the expenses of these extensions would be so great that it is extremely improbable that they would attempt to reach the top of tno hill. For the tract at the foot of Willamette Heights unconditional tenders have been arranged, and the special committee is Of the opinion that there nothing In the way of acceptance of that Bite if the board shall be of that mind. These two sites and Hawthorne Park, it Is promised, will occupy the certter of at tention tonight, with the possibility that City View Park may be referred to. While University Park and the Abrams & Knox tract have their supporters, it is plain that those who favor the East Side for the Fair are coming to regard Hawthorne Park 'as the East Side local ity that can command the most strength. In this connection it Is. possible that there will be some plan put forward for re ducing the objection presented by the bridges". A suggestion already made is that a fine, large bridge be erected at once where the Morrison-street structure now is a structure that shall be wide enough to accommodate the street-car lines and teams. It is argued that the need for a new bridge Is already pressing, and the annual Interest charge on the price of a new one would be only about JbOOO, which Is too small to warrant going long er with the present cramped roadway. The Terwilliger tract. In the south end of the city, has been suggested as .the most suitable fair site in the city border ing the river, where steamboat landings are easy; presenting an abundance of level land, and reaching back Into tim bered upland, already reached by trolley linos and steam railroads. It also com mands facilities for aquatic displays and sports. Two objections to that site are brought forward, however. One Is that the surroundings are unsightly, and an unsightly part of the city must be tra versed to reach it, and the other Is that there, -would be no way to control the aquatic features for the Exposition. Sporty or displays on the river would be open to the world, and could not be made a means of securing revenue to the Ex position. It is said that the differences among the directors are still great, or have grown to be so great that there Is no likelihood of an agreement tonight. If this should turn out to be true, the selection of the site will go over until after the vacation season, probably until September, for a number of the directors will leave tne city this wek, and It will not be pos sible to get '& full board meeting before Fall. Legislature May or May JV'ot Alter the Portland Instrument. Will the next Legislature tinker with the new Portland charter? Most people think not, but nobody knows. It Is an admirable instrument, but as in all human creations there are rough places, which individual lawmakers might wish to get the glory of making smoother. One sen tence, relating to duration of public fran chises, "is considered to be a serious flaw. It contains only 22 words, and could read ily be scratched out by the Legislature. But here's the question: If the Legis lature begins to tinker, when will It stop? If the Instrument Is once opened tp debate and criticism, will It escape In anything like its present Integrity? These are the doubts that are besetting members of the Multnomah delegation. And many persons wonder if all the lawmakers will be able to resist the desire to impress their per sonality on the instrument. If they start in to do so.-the Instrument runs the dan ger of 'emerging from tha treatment en tirely changed from Its present good make up. The bill which passed the last session for the new charter provided for submit ting the Instrument to the Legislature "for adoption or rejection as a whole." This provision is only advisor', however, for no Legislature. can bind another In such fashion. The next assembly may therefore cut and slash, add or subtract, change or modify as It pleases. The sentence which will probably be dropped from the charter In the Legis lature reads: "And the same (franchises and privileges) shall be and continue in force and effect as given or granted by said cities (Portland, East Portland and Alblna) of either of them." Section 106. The effect of this, if adopted by the Legislature, would be to enact certain municipal franchises and privileges in perpetuity. The three cities In consolidat ed Portland have granted many valuable franchises without specifying time limit. The above sentence In the charter is mani festly against the Interest of the city. Naturally, the holders of these fran chises Insist that the grants are until eter nity. It may bo possible to defeat them In the courts, but if the objectionable sen tence were left by the Legislature In the charter, this possibility would be, removed. The franchises which would be benefited by leaving section 106 unchanged are those chiefly of telephone, telegraph and railway companies. GOLD COIN FOR THEQUEEN ELKS WILL GIVE 500 TO THE 'WIS XING BEAUTY. Moonlight Excursion Will Be Given Tuesday Night Gen. Summers to Have Charge Carnival Parades. EXHIBITS FOR STATE FAIR BAD MEAT FOR MARKET. Commissioner Doneli Suggests Hovr They Mny Be Used to Advantage. PORTLAND, Or., July 23. (To the Edi tor.) Since my return home my attention has been attracted to the strenuous ef forts made by the officers and directors of the State Fair to excel all former efforts, which are not only very com mendable, but deserve the hearty sup port of everj' citizen of our glorious state. The counties have been invited to make exhibits of their various products. Do they grasp the full meaning and import ance of this invitation? Oregon has made exhibits of its re sources at all the great expositions held in America. The many medals and diplo mas which have been awarded to these exhibits arc evidence of what she can produce, and today she stands second to no other state in the union. In conse quence of these exhibits we expect many visitors this season, who come to "have a look." and convince themselves by personal inspection. Hundreds, possibly thousands, of homeseekers will visit Ore gon during the fair. It depends upon our producers to rl3e to the occasion, to fur nish these exhibits. Every farmer and fruitgrower should take a personal In terest and contribute only the best for this purpose. In fact, every county should take pride, even rivalry, to make the very best possible exhibit for the State" Fair. These exhibits would not bo lost, but could be used for the local exhibits, and possibly for the great exposition to be held at Osaka. Japan, next year. Oregon has made an enviable reputation through out the Union. The eyes of the American homeseeker are upon us. We have'riscn to a high plane; let us not only maintain that high standing, but rise even higher, for the possibility exists. HENRY E. DOSCH. A novel plan for tho selection of the Queen of the Carnival was reported by B. B. Rich, chairman of the ways and means committee, at the Elks Carnival meeting last nistht. Thjs was to award a prize of J500 In gold coin to the successful candidate. Such a prize would awaken a more lively Interest in the contest than ever before, and the friends of each of the candidates make every endeavor to secure votes for their respective favorites. The proposition received the favorable consideration of the beard, and the J500 suggested as a prize was appropriated. The coin, in double eagles, will be ex hibited in the window of some prominent building to be selected today. From the enthusiasm displayed at tne i meeting of the Board of Directors last night it is evident that no effort will be spared to make the carnival this year even a greater success than the one in 1900. Reports showed that every mer chant was taking an interest in the event, and that there would be no difficulty in securing the required fund of 512,000, and probably a larger amount. Contracts have been signed for a number of'speclal attractions, and promlsesi were made that the midway would contain more at tractive and instructive features than any that has ever formed a part of atfalr on the Pacific Coast. Tho board decided to give a grand moonlight excursion next Tuesday night. Boats and barges will be chartered for the evening, and music, dancing and re freshments will serve to make the excur sion an enjoyable one. The proceeds will be expended in securing extra attractions for tho Carnival. General Owen Summers, who will have charge of all the parades, said that not only the city, but the entire state, was taking an active Interest in the approach ing Carnival. General Summers assured the board that the parades would be of a style that was clearly out of the rut and along lines never before attempted. As the General's ability to arrange parades which contain only the most attractive and entertaining features Is well known, the directors feel confident that Portland will witness some of the finest sights in its history. The appointment of the subcommittees was completed by the board, and they are as follows: Buildings and grounds D. Soils Cohen, John F. Cordray, M. J. Malley. Booths and exhibits Harry Beck, Joseph Barrett. O. A. WIndfelder. Illumination and decoration John La mont, Frank A. Heltkemper. Phil Harris. Press, printing and advertising A. D. Charlton.

The only loss growers sus tained was the expense of hanging up their vines again. Hops are just beginning to blossom. They are thriving under the present ideal weather conditions. Aphides have nearly all disappeared. The Oregon yield will probably Tie between S3.000 and 80.000 bales, and that of the Pacific Coast about 175,000 bales. The New York crop is Improving. Late reports are that the yield of the Empire State will be between 30,000 and 40,000 bales. Crop reports from England con tinue adverse. The yield In that country will probably not exceed 450,000 cwtf, compared with 650.000 cwt, last year. 32a3Sa-j$r JQa, OUTLOOK FOR STATE FAIR Meier & Frank Company Artistic Picture Framing to your order Largest variety of Moldings Lowest prices.

Two Diseased Hori Conflncnted Farmer Mny Be Arrested. Two hogs which had apparently been slaughtered Just as they were about to die from the cholera were discovered in a butcher shop by Health Commissioner Blersdorf yesterday, jind they 'were con fiscated and will be held as evidence against the man who'sent them to mar ket. Tho person who made the shipment. Dr. Blersdorf learned, was a farmer named Trinbat, who lives at Hillsdale. Trinbat will be arrested today if there is any law under which he can be prose cuted and convicted. , When the hogs were confiscated they were examined by Dr. Blersdorf ana Dr. E. M. Hutchinson, who has charge of the local station of the Bureau of Ani mal Industry. Tho former said the dis ease was in an advanced state, and tne latter that the cases were two of the worst he had ever seen. Both were agreed that the consumption of such dis eased meat would cause a swine plague. In speaking of the seizure last night Dr. Blersdorf eald that a great deal of diseased meat was being brought Into Portland. Some farmers made it a prac tice to kill Infected cattle and swine and send them to the market for sale, and the carcasses were received by some butchers who were not and by others who were aware of their diseased condition, converted into sausage meat and sold. A number of such carcasses had been con fiscated during the past two weeks, but the shippers could not be discovered. The - Commissioner say he intends to prevent the sale of diseased hogs and cattle, and. If possible, to punish the farmers who send them to the market. ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAOR. DINARY.
