Among the tickets dropped from tho
clouds( Wednesday evening from tho 50
balloons that were sent up, one was found
on the river by a man who saw the wreck
of tho balloon descending. Ho took a boat
and went after it. At Irvington Park a
ball came was in progress when one of
tho balloons came drifting over the dia
mond. The players all sighted it at once.
When it "was realized that the balloon car
ried a prize there was a general desire
to ground the "message from the moon"
at once. Partly by design and partly by
accident, according to the story that was
related about the occurrence, once of the
batters lined out a hot ball, which struck
the balloon and tore a big hole in the sides.
As it came down the baseball game re
solved Itself into a football rush. Every
body wanted a chance to grab the balloon
first and get the free ticket which admits
to everything on the Carnival grounds.
In the mix-up, A. W. -Morris, of 315 Qulncy
.street, came out victor and secured the
prize, although ho bore the scratches
showing that ho had to scramble for the
prize.
The following cablegram arrived yes
terday: Carlsbad, Germany, Aug. 14. B. B. Rich,
Portland, Or., U. S. A: One hundred dollars
Elks Carnival. A B. STEINBACH.
The Shetland pony, cart and harness
which is to be given away on Children's
day at the Carnival were on display on
the street yesterday. The pony worked
in harness for the .first time, and became
acquainted with the outfit which some
lucky boy or girl will get. The Shetland
behaved very gracefully, considering that
it was her first appearance. However, she
turned around so abruptly in front of The
Oregonlan building that .the shafts of tho
cart threw her off her reet, but that was
the only untoward incident of "the pony's
first day In harness. It is a pretty rig,
and well worth having.
There are several free open-air attrac
tions In the Carnival. Besides the diver
sions of the giddy, gay Midway which
everybody will visit more than once this
year on account of the presence of the
dancing girls of th6 Moorish palace
there will be sensational outdoor acts for
all to see. These are the Austin sisters,
aeriallsts. who perform on the flying and
the revolving trapeze; Mile. Almee, who
walks head downward, as a fly would on
the celling; Charles A BIgney. who holds
the record for high diving In this country,
from dropping 90 feet Into a tank of water
only five feet deep; the seven Grunatho
sisters, famous German acrobats. In mid
air performances; ladder-balancing by the
Marions; a dally balloon parachute Jump by
Professor Neumann, of Cairo, 111. Music
will be furnished by a ladles' military band
of 16 pieces. This band plays regularly
In the German village, where continuous
vaudeville will be given, and a series of
concerts will be given in the Temple of
Light and Music during the afternoon and
evening. The loop-the-loop, the sensa
tional death-courting flight on a bicycle
through mid-air, is a great act of dally
occurrence. It bears an ominous reputa
tion, us it has put 14 would-be riders in
the hospital since it was brought out in
Madison-Square Garden, New York.
The country store will be a good local
feature. An enormous projectoscope that
will throw life-size figures on a large
screen will also help to amuse the sight
seers, and Js one of the free features.
ENGINE FOR NEW DREDGE
"Willamette Iron Worlc Explains
Status of Contract.
PORTLAND, Aug. 14. (To the Editor.)
There is rarely a news item in your paper
referring to the 20-lnch dredge, now build
ing for the Port of Portland, which does
not refer Incidentally to the assumed fact
that the Willamette Iron & Steel Works
is behind in the completion of the main
engines, and will, therefore, by the terms
of its contract, be forced to suffer a pen
alty of $125 per day for each day's delay
since the 8th of last July. While there
Js no special reason to believe that the
public Is interested in the exact status of
the case, it may at least serve the pur
poses of truth to point out some of the
reasons which sustain the difference of
opinion which the contractors are hinted
to have.
The engine in question Is what Is known
as a four-cylinder, triple-expansion en
gine, of about 2000 horsepower, and is the
most Important and expensive piece of
machinery connected with the dredge. Its
completed weight la approximately 0 tons,
end the nature of the service demands the
most rigid requirements of workmanship
and material.
Bids were opened in January, and the
commission designated July 8, 1902, as the
date for the completed installation, and
In their specification made further delays
subject to the payment of 5125 per day,
"not as penalty, but as liquidated dam
ages." The Willamette Iron & Steel
Works was the lowest bidder, trat de
clined to enter into a -contract with such
a "-clause in force, it being evident that,
With all drawings and patterns to make,
and "-with. the"heavy forged'haftsronly'
available from Eastern markets, -which
"were in. a congested condition, the time
"was too short. A, compromise was there
fore effected, the completion of the con
tract In the time specified being made
contingent upon the arrival of the shafts
within three months from the date of con
tract, and the contractors agreed to make
ail reasonable effort to secure the delivery
In that time.
To Any one familiar with the conditions
existing In the large forge shops of the
United States during the past two years.
It (was not remarkable that the time of
deliver' of the shafts considerably exceed
ed the time specified. The commission
was accorded the courtesy of access to
the correspondence covering the transac
tion, which should sufficiently convince
them that no reasonable effort or expense
was witheld from the furtherance of their
interests. The arrival of the shafts was
followed by a large amount of night -work
until the completion of .the engine In ample
time to avoid any real delay was assured.
The Installation is now proceeding rapidly,
and, barring unforeseen accidents, should
be complete during the early part of Sep
tember, which is as early as the other
equipment of the dredge will be In readi
ness for a trial trip. If the Port of Port
land Commission acts with a spirit of fair
ness end good faith, the discussion need
never go beyond Its present confines; but
under other conditions the Willamette
Iron & Steel Works must take the neces
sary eteps to protect itself against finan
cial loss.
The dredge as a whole promises to be a
powerful and efficient machine, well adapt
ed for the important work In hand. Its
probable immunity from serious break
down will afford the port a satisfactory
eminence from which to overlook the first
cost. '

TO GET RIGHT OF WAY.
Oregon City Line Files Condemna
tion Salts.
The Oregon Water Power and 'Railway
Company, which purposes building a lino
to Gresham, yesterday filed a condemna
tion suit in the State Circuit Court
against Louis L. Scbuman and wife, Al
bert Schuman, Emma Snuffin, ct al., to
have the value of LSI acres of land
which the company desires for a right
of way determined by a Jury. The
company asks for a strip of land CO feet
wide in section 20, township 3 south, range
4 east, beginning at the northwest corner
of the Jacob Johnson donation land
claim. It is alleged that an agreement
with the defendants regarding the value
of the land cannot be reached.
The same company has also commenced
suit against Thomas and Anna B. Con
nell to have the value fixed on LS9 acres
in section 20, township 8 south, range 4
east, fixed by a jury. This Is also wanted
for a right of way, and the beginning
point is at tho southeast corner of the
William A. Caeon donation land claim.
STOCKHOLDERS ARE SUED.
Joseph Falco Seeks to Recover 2225
Due from KanpUch Creamery Co,
Joseph Falco yesterday filed suit in the
State Circuit Court against M. C. Ban
field Thomas Rand, Julius C. Kauplsch,
N. H. Bloomfleld, et al., to recover $2225,
and to compel the defendants to pay for
unpaid stock in the Kauplsch Creamery
Company. The company failed about two
years ago, and Its affairs were settled in
the bankruptcy court. Falco Is a creditor
of tho company, and he also holds as
signed claims of Catherine Dunn, O. B.
Hathaway, H. D. Tcnny, W. T. Watts and
other creditors. It is alleged In the com
plaint -that Banfleld, Rand and the other
defendants have not paid for all the stock
which they subscribed for, and are liable
for the balance due. Banfleld and Rand
held 200 shares each, of the par value of
510.000, and it Is averred that they paid in
each only $2000.
It is further alleged that Banfleld and
Rand unlawfully agreed with J. C. and
H. W. Kauplsch to purchase a half In
terest In the Kauplsch Creamery Com
pany, tho capital stock of which was $30,
000. for $5000.
The position of Falco Ib that Banfleld
and Rand, not having paid in fui for
their 6tock, are responsible to the cred
itors to the extent of the amount which
they have riot paid on tho stock. Tho
other stockholders are insolvent so far
as is known. As the result of the proceed
ings In bankruptcy, the creditors only re
ceived a small percentago of what was
owing to them.
SUES FOR 3000 DAMAGES.
Charles Alfresheinier Brings Action
Against Sicvrart fc Winslow.
Charles Algcehclmer, an expressman,
has commenced suit in the" State Circuit
Court against R. J. Stewart and John
Winslow, contractors, to recover $3000
damages on account of personal injuries
on February 18, 1902. Algesheimer states
In his complaint that ho was unloading
lumber from his wagon in front of Jones'
Cash Store, on Front street, and Stewart
& Wlnslow, who were engaged in putting
up an awning, let a stick of lumber fall.
Algesheimer avers that he was struck on
tho head with the stick and knocked
senseless, and was confined to his bed for
a long period as the result of the inju
ries received. Ho asserts that he is now
permanently deaf, and Is unable to earn a
living as well as he formerly could.
Can County Transfer Lien?
Cummlngs Merrill is the plaintiff in a
suit filed in the State Circuit Court
against W. T. Stephens to quiet title to
S3 acres of ktnd In the Witten donation
lmd claim. According to the complaint
the county assigned Its Interest In a de
linquent tax lien to Stephens, and this
It is alleged the county had no right
to do. This will raise an Important
question in the courts for the reason
that tho county authorities have trans
ferred numerous pieces of property bid in
by the county for delinquent taxes, to
brokers and others.
Built Tito Boats.
Louis Paquet, the well-known Portland
boatbullder, returned from Weenatchee,
Big Bend country, a short time ago. He
went there last February and built two
steamers. One was for Captain J. D.
Miller and the other for Captain J. A
Griggs. They will ply on the Upper Co
lumbia River to Okanagan. Mr. Paquet
has Just finished the frames for two boats
one a steamer and the other a barge
for the Colorado River Traneportatlon
Co-npany. The steamers will be chipped
to Needles, Colo., where they will be set
up.
Salt for Possession of Lot.
Suit for possession of a lot in
Garrison's subdivision to East Port
land was filed In th. State Circuit
Court yesterday by the Victor Land Com
pany against Laverentl Stevens. The land
company alleges that it holds a title to
the property by virtue of a Sheriffs sale
of the property to B. Fallen. It Is stated
that Stevens has not redeemed the lot
from the lien of the Sheriff's deed, but
withholds possession against plaintiff.
Election Certificates Ready.
County Clerk- Fields desires the- Stato
Senators and Representatives elected at
the Juno election to call and obtain their
election certificates. There are 13 of these
still in the office, which Is an unlucky
number, so he desires to get rid of them.
The men elected to serve In tho Legis
lature from Multnomah County evidently
seom to think that they do not require
any certificates of election.

MAIL FOR MONTAVILLA
FRED DELIVERY ROUTE WILL
SOON BE ESTABLISHED,
Postofflce "Will Bo Changed to a.
Station and Service Given From
Portland About October 1.
Free mail delivery has been recom
mended for Montavilla and vicinity. A
petition asking for this service was sent
to the department nearly a year ago,
and it has now been acted on. It Is ex
pected that the service will be ordered
about the first of October. r
The service there will be under tho
Jurisdiction of the Portland Postofflce,
and tEe ofllce at Montavilla will be
changed into a station, as was done with
the Mount Tabor Postofflce. Postmaster
Croasman said yesterday that the ser
vice had been recommended and an order
to put It into operation was expected to
arrive most any time. Possibly free 'de
livery may be ordered the first of October,
if the department reaches the matter in
time to make the order.
,The action of the department will have
to be awaited with patience by the people.
A meeting has been called at Montavilla
for this evening to expedite matters,
but what it can do is npt apparent.
The Montavilla district is a large one,
and Includes over 1500 people. It joins
the South Mount Tabor district on the
south and Russellville on the east. In a
few months there will be but few places
in Multnomah County that are not pro
Aided with rural free mall delivery, as
nearly every section has a petition before
the department. Tho Cleonc route, which
takes in a considerable portion of Colum
bia Slough, has been ordered, as has aim
those for Troutdale and LatourelL The
petition for free delivery for Precinct No.
CO, South Mount Tabor, with map, is
beforo the department. When this and
the Montavilla districts arc ordered, the
whole of the county will be nearly cover
ed with rural free delivery routes.
PLEASAKT HOME REUXIOX.
Yesterday's Attendance Larffe Ad
dress by Sirs. A. S. Dnnl-ivay.
Day broke pleasantly yesterday morn
ing on the G. A. R. camp ground at
Pleasant Honje, although it was some
what cool in the grove. The attendance
was largely increased over the first days
of the week. The Woman's Relief Corps,
although small in numbers. Is contribut
ing largely to the success of the reunion.
Its members make it a point to sec that
a. welcome Is extended to all who come
on the grounds.
As usual, the camp is illuminated at
night by the beacon and the lanterns anil
lamps at the stands and camps. There
were no exercises held In the morning.
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Aba
gall Scott Dunlway delivered her second
address. Her subject, "The Disfranchised
Citizen," was an interesting topic, and
she spoke for over an hour. It was a
supplement to her lecture the day before
on the "Declaration of Independence."
In her closing, Mrs. Dunlway said:
"Step by step the men of Oregon, are
leading the dl3franchlsed woman citizen
to the citadel of liberty. The adoption
of the Inltatlve and referendum, as the
first amendment to the constitution, is a
longstcp in the right direction. The
equal suffrage leaven Is slowly but surely
permeating the political body. The
women of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah
and Idaho are no longer classed with the
disfranchised citizen. How long will It
be before Oregon Joins them?"
Mrs. Dunlway has been the honored
guest of the pest and Woman's Relief
Corps since she arrived, Tuesday, and
she has received1' every possible attention.
Her presence has added greatly to the
Interest of (he reunion.
This afternoon Hon. John F. Caples
will lecture on his personal experiences
and observation while acting as United
States Consul at Valparaiso, Chile. His
coming has been looked forward to with
great interest, and he will be given a

on the grounds Saturday and give per
sonal recollections of eome of the great
battles of the Civil War.

struck from box 321, and the department
responded quickly. Edward Fitzgerald
and eome other men first saw the fire
in the roof of the structure. This portion
was drenched and the fire was soon under
controL
It was well that it was confined to the
hotel, as there Is a range of wooden
structures on the east side, which arev
occupied. The Globe Hotel has not been
occupied for many years and Is boarded
up. Fire was probably caused by a spark
from a passing locomotive. - The property
belongs to Henry Welnhard. The dam

To Reorganize New York Police.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14. Avery D. An
drews, one of Mayor Low's commission
of three ' to suggest a plan for the re
organization of the police force, sailed
for Europe today on the steamship Gross
erfurst, and will return in September
with settled views relating to the police
systems of London, Paris and Berlin.
Mr. Andrews Is especially instructed to
look Into the hours of labor of policemen
in the great cities of Europe, and to re
port on. tho advantages, if any, of the
so-called five-platoon system of London.
It has been determined by Mayor Low
to give the men more time off duty, and
the statistics of both foreign and Amer
ican cities are to be obtained in regard
to the platoon system.
While Mr. Andrews is obtaining Infor
mation in Europe, Commissioner Pat
ridge and Mr. Philblri will go deeply Into
the subject here, so that comprehensive
report can be made to Mayor Low in
October.
TO ERECT NEW STATIONS.
Elaborate Ceremony at St. Lawrence
Chttrch Saaday.
On next Sunday there will be performed
in St. Lawrence Church, at Third and
Sherman, the ceremony of' the erection
of the stations of the cross. The new
stations are tho finest specimens of re
glous art on the Coast.
Last February the Rev. A A. Lambert,
from Chicago, held a very successful
mission in St. Lawrence Church. At the
close of the mission. Father Lambert ap
pealed -to the congregation to give ao the
usual memorial new stations of tho cross.
Wihtln a few hours money had been sub
scribed to purchase what are undoubted
ly the most beautiful and sumptuous sta
tions procurable. At the time Father
Lambert promised to be present at their
erection and In pursuance of this pledge
he will on Sunday morning celebrate a
solemn high mass, and in the afternoon
officiate with the pastor. Rev. John C.
Hughes, in the erection ceremony.
The patterns and pjatcs for the figures
and their pedestals wero made in France
and a very cursory view shows that tho
finish and designing are Continental.
These plates were brought to this country
and the figures wero cast by tho Daprato
Company, of Chicago. When Installed, tho
cost to tho donors will bo $2000.
In- tho 14 stations the various concep
tions are worked out with a curious ac
curacy of detail. Every figure Is completo
to the last degree of minuteness In peso,
dress and expression. To those who have
been accustomed to the somewhat crudo
workmanship and primitive design of
most specimens of religious art on this
Coast, the brilliancy of material and the
careful and reverent treatment of the
subjects will appeal with great force.
Among those that aro especially notice
able for delicacy of portrayal are Noa. 13
and 8. In the latter, in which Jesus
consoles the women of Jerusalem, there Is
a very striking contrast between the
sorrowful and tenderly affectlonato
women and the malignant executioner.
In.fact It may be said of all the stations
that the composition is very effective.
Other decorations have been added that
will make the fit setting for these. The
altars have been illuminated very taste
fully, and on the pillar to tho right of
the entrance a darge figure of the cruci
fixion has been placed. This figure Is of
the same design and workmanship as the
stations and In its vivid portrayal will
add to the religious atmosphere of the in
terior. On Sunday the church will be
fully dressed and the stations will bo on
view for the first time.
WOOD ESCAPES ASSESSOR
Larse Quantity Accumulated Since
March 1 Cannot Bo Assessed.
The question of making a wood company
which Is under the ban of the labor
unions, pay taxes on a large quantity of
wood which has accumulated in the yards
of the company recently Is being agitated
by the labor leaders. Their efforts, how
ever, will prove fruitless, as the statutes
provide that property shall be assessed
which Is on hand March 1 of each year,
and this date, as every one knows, has
long since parsed.
Dealers. In wood can easily escape tax
ation on most of the wood which they
sell, a3 much of it Is received and de
livered in the Summer, Fall and Winter
after the Assessor has been around and
made the assessment. This Is not the
fault of the wood-dealer, but of the law,
which It is impossible to inake perfect.
Deputy Assessor L. H. Maxwell, speak
ing on the subject yesterday, said:
Wood-dealere are not the only ones
favored by the law requiring assessments
to be made of property on hand -March
1. Machinery houses and dealers in farm
ing Implements sell a big lot of goods In
tho Summer and Fall, and do not get
new goods in until after March 1, and the
only goods you catch them with on that
date is what they may have left over.
But with seed houses It Is Just the other
way. On March 1 they have a large stock
on hnnd. The only way to change the
law would be to make an assessment of
the average amount of goods In hand
within the year."

BANFIELD CASE ON TRIAL7
NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT HE
WAS ORDERED TO MOVE WOOD.
Judge Hogne Gives No Decision, bat
Announces Opinion That Heavy
Fine Would Be Unwarranted.
No decision was reached yesterday In
the- case against M. C Banfleld, of the
Banfleld-Veaey Fuer Company, charged
with the violation of the city ordinance
regulating the obstruction of sidewalks.
A plea of not guilty was entered, but
Mr. Banfleld did not wish any counsel to
plead his case. The evidence showed
that slab wood belonging to the Banfleld
Veysey Company had been piled along
an entire block on Twenty-first street
between Reed street and Sherlock avenue,
in such a way foat it was impossible for
anyone to use the sidewalk, and that this
condition had existed for several months.
Mr. Banfleld stated, however, that it had
been piled there without his knowledge
and that ho had never been notified to
remove it.
It was held by the prosecution that Mr.
Banfleld had been notified many 'times to
remove the wood, but there were none
of tho witnesses who had personal knowl
edge of this notification. Mr. Banfleld,
however, said that he had been notified
to remove wood that was obstructing .the
sidewalks in other parts of the city,
but that as he had not been notified in this
particular case, he therefore did not
think that the prosecution was just.
Jifdge Hogue stated that he would take
the matter under consideration, but that
he was of the opinion that a heavy fine
should not be imposed, as it seemed to be
the custom in that part of the city to
override the law, and that a notice should
have been served before he was placed
under arrest.
Tho complaint was read by Deputy
City Attorney Fitzgerald, and as Mr.
Banfleld was asked to enter his plea, he
said:
"I admit that the wood was there and
that the sidewalk was obstructed, but I
think that I have been arrested out of
spite work on the part of some one. I
gave orders to my men to remove the
wood as soon as I was told that it was
there."
"What we want now," said the Judge,
"is your plea. If you plead guilty the
court will have no other alternative but
to fine you. If you plead not guilty the
case can be tried upon its merits."
"I am willing to throw myself upon the
mercy of the court," continued Mr. Ban
fleld. "I thought that it was the purpose
of tho law to protect Its citizens and (he
business men of tho city, but if It is the
purpose to Impose upon them and"
"You don't understand," said th.e Judge.
"Wo want you to enter your plea, then
you can be sworn and make your state
ments. Do you plead 'guilty or 'not
guilty' 7'
"Not guilty," said he.
"Do you want an attorney to defend
your case?"
"No," said he, "I do not need It."
The first witness called was Sidewalk
Inspector W. P. Lillls. He testified as
to the condition of the walk and said:
"Both the Engineering Department and
the police have notified him repeatedly
that he would have to remove the wood,
but as he did not heed I was ordered to
place him under arrest."
"Have you personal knowledge of his
having been notified to remove the wood?"
said the Judge.
"No, only what I have been told,"
said he.
Ofilcer J. Hoelsey testified as to the
condition of the walk and eald that the
sidewalk had been Impassable ever since
he had been on that beat. He had
notified the men that wero working there
that the wood would have to be removed,
but had-never notified Mr. Banfleld or
any one in tho ofllce.
Mr. Banfleld was then called and stated
that the wood had been piled on the side
walk, but without his knowledge, and
that he had ordered It removed as soon
as he was told of the matter. "The con
dition has been as It Is for at least two
years," said he. "The wood was piled
there by the East Side Lumber Company
and has been there ever since. There
must be some spite work that I am ar
rested for It at this time."
At the close of the trial the Judge asked
the prosecution If It was their desire that
a fine be Imposed or that the wood be
ordered removed.
"I only know that I 'was ordered to
place him under arrest," said Mr. Lillls,
"but I heard some of the men In the
ofllce say that we have had trouble
enough over this matter and that he
ought to be fined." .
"I will take the matter under advise
ment," said the Judge, "but I do not
think under the circumstances that a
very heavy fine should be Imposed unless
he had been notified and had then re
fused to remove the wood, and there is
no evidence to show that such is tho
case."
SOME QUESTIONS EASY.
But Applicants for Certificates Are
Thinking Hard.
The teachers' examination at the High
School has been in progress for two days,
and many of the applicants begin to
chow the effects of their hard thinking.
Those who are trying for primary cer
tificates finished their work yesterday,
being examined on the art of questioning,
theory of teaching, methods and physi
ology. These certificates enable the hold
er to teach In the third grade, or lower,
while those having the regular county
papers are entitled to teach in any grade.
Several of .the teachers think that the
examiners dealt quite gently with them
on the subject of written arithmetic. A
glance at some of the questions given
below will show that there certainly Is
no ground for the usual complaint that
the questions are too difficult:
"Divide the following: C0.52 by 1QO.O0O."
"An agent sells ?5i worth of cloth;
what la his commission as 3 per cent?"
Twelve questions were presented, the
applicant answering the first and twelfth,
and any eight of those remaining. Under
tho heading 'Theory and Practice" were
some good queries:
"Define moral education, intellectual
education, and physical education."
"Name five requisites for good govern
ment which the teacher should possess."
The primary series in the art of ques
tioning show that this branch is not neg
lected: "Give five reasons why a teacher should
be a good questioner."
"To what extent should the ready-made
questlrns found in the text-books be
used?"
Teachers that have received 90 per cent
on any subject for two successive exam
inations may now be excused from again
writing on that subject. One young lady
of Portland has so good a record that she
was obliged to take only four subjects.
In written arithmetic her standing for
two tests was perfect, and 94 per cent
was her lowest grade In any study.
