On Wednesday, September 10, Portland
will -witness the greatest spectacular mili
tary parade ever seen In the Northwest.
The parade Trill be held in connection with
the Portland Street Fair and Carnival, and
the special committee from the Elks la
now bending every energy to make the
affair a great success. Through the co
operation of Senator John H- Mitchell,
permission "was obtained from the War De
partment to transport the Seventeenth
"United States Infantry nd two batteries
of artillery from Vancouver Barracks for
participation in the parade. In addition
to Uncle Sam's regulars, the local militia
will participate in the parade. In all, there
will be about 2000 men in line, the proces
sion extending more than two miles. Sen
ator Mitchell for some time past has been
endeavoring to secure permission from
Washington, D. C, for the parade of the
regulars. Last Tuesday he sent the fol
lowing telegram to the War Department:
Portland. Or., Aug. 19. Hon. "William Ca
rey Sanger, Acting Secretary of War. War

The committee of Elks, in charge of the
parade, consists of General Owen Sum
mers, George L. Baker, W. J. Riley, H.
D. Griffin, J. F. Cordray, Dr. Sandford
Whiting, Al Newlands and J. M. Gellert.
General Summers said last evening that
the parade will be the best thing of the
kind ever seen in the Northwest, and that
an hour's time will be required for it to
pass a'glven point.
It is not often that so many regular
Army troops can be secured for a parade,
and those in charge of the coming event
are preparing to make the most of It.
Six military bands will be found In the
procession, which will be distinctly mili
tary in Its character. In the batteries
from Vancouver Barracks there will be 12
pieces of artillery, 450 horses and 250 men.
Besides these, there will be 800 poldlers
from the Seventeenth Infantry, and as
many from the Third Regiment, O. N. G.
Among the latter will be found all the
local Infantry companies, the battery and
the band. The line of march has not yet
been decided upon, but a satisfactory route
will be selected. The big parade will be
one of the main attractions of the Elks'
Carnival.
At a meeting of Portland Lodge, No. 142,
B. P. O. E., held last evening, resolutions
of thanks were passed and forwarded to
Senator Mitchell.
But one week from next Monday even
ing and the September Carnival of the
Elks wil be open. Busy days and nights
will follow while the entertainment, the
costumes and the ceremonies for the court
of Queen Maybelle are In preparation.
Last night, after a busy time among the
directors of the Carnival, Manager Rowe
made the final announcement as to the
coronation celebration which Just at
present claims greatest general interest.
Everyone wants to know in advance all
the plans and as soon as consistent the
arrangements are made known. A
change was decided upon last night in
the coronation. Queen Maybelle will be
crowned on Monday night, September 1
Thls is positive, barring unlooked-for
contretemps which the good guardian of
the Portland Elks, It is hoped, may
charm away. Special Intercession will
be made to the weather man, to propiti
ate him, to the end that one of the fairest
nights shall usher in the grand celebra
tion such a night as will live In the
memory of those who shall be privileged
to witness the ceremonies of the Inaug
uration. Yesterday the contract was let for the
erection ')f' a magnificent throne in one
of the Park blocks, where ample room
will be provided for the throngs of people
to see the bestowal of the crown and the
ecepter of a loyal kingdom of subjects.
The crowning will be In the evening, at
8:30 o'clock. During the afternoon the
Labor day celebration will engross the at
tention of the public and in the afternoon
all attractions and "doings" will be with
in the Carnival grounds. The great in
augural procession of the Carnival shows
and Its people, headed by the Queen, will
take place on the second day, in the af
ternoon. A reviewing stand in front of
the Portland will be provided and at this
point the general procession will be re
viewed by the Queen.
The following letter from Y". H. Mc
Monies, to the manager of the Carnival,
was received yesterday:
E. W. Rowe, Secretary B. P. O.-Elks. No
142:
Dear Sir: Messrs. EL R. Krieger and C.
N. Rankin some time ago placed with our
firm an order for a sot of Shetland pony
harness.
The writer being informed for what
purpose the harness was to be used, and
appreciating the good the people of Port
land and manufacturing firms of our
city will derive from the Elks' Carnival,
it is with my best wishes that I contrib
ute the set of harness to the Portland
Lodge. B. P. O. E:, No. 142. Wishing
you plenty of Joy and a successful Car
nival, I remain,
Yours respectfully,
W. H. McMONIES & CO.
The harness referred to Is dally dis

little turnout driven bya clown' for the
Carnival Company. It is a beautifully
finished pony cart, of the best turned out
by the Studebaker Bros. ' The pony was
donated by Dr. Wise. The outfit will be

DISCUSS CLAIMS IN SECRET
Board of Public Worlu Considers
Suit of Deputies for Back Pay.
The Board of Public Works has been
discussing in secret sessions tho claims of
J. W. Brown, A. M. Shannon, George EC
uoaman, William Braden and B. Rueter,
deputies In the City Engineer's office, for
oacK salaries, and it Is reported that the
members of the board are not pleased
witn the course pursued by the deputies,
and are after their scoIds.
The fact that these claims have been
presented to the Common Council and
rejected, and that the "men have sued the
city to recover the money, has heretofore
been published. The claims amount to $503
each for salaries from July 1, 1S96, to
September 1, 1S83. An ordinance passed
oy tne common Council fixed the salaries
of the deputies at 5100 ner month each.
The salaries wero reduced by City Engi
neer Chase to $S5 per month, because it
is said he did not desire to increase the
expenses of his office, and he had to em
ploy another man in order to pay a po
litical aeDt.
City Attorney Long rendered an oninlon
In the case favorable to the men, part of
wnicn Bearing upon tho law 1b as fol
lows:
"Our Supreme Court has laid down the
rule In two cases that the officers of the
cuy are without authority to reduce sal
aries, and that the act Is illecal and void
In cases, however, where a man accepts
a reaucea salary, notwithstanding the
fact that the reduction was illegal and
void, then he Is bound to the reduction
in the nature of a settlement with the
city ana an estoppel.
'The men claim that they never agreed
to a reduction, but ' always protested
agaipst it to the. various city officers who
had authority to pass the laws or to rep
resent the city, and always insisted that
they were entitled to the balance and
would sue for it There are no facts
to the contrary except the single fact
or weir navlng accepted a reduced salary.
"This case differs from tho firemen's
cases in that as a result of their contln
ued protest they were reinstated in the
salaries fixed by ordinance. In the fire
men's cases, notwithstanding there was
a protest, the old salaries were not rein
stated, and after the firemen were told
that they would not be reinstated they
continued to serve and draw pay at the
reaucea rate. Unless Mr. W. B. Chase,
the City Engineer, is able to establish
the fact that these peonle acaulesced in
the reduction, so as to bring them under
the rule laid down in the firemen's casej,
these employes will be entitled to recover
the amount due them; and from tny for
mer investigation, when I advised them
to repeal the ordinance. I am of the opin
ion that no such state of facts exists
as will successfully support the city's
defense Of an estoppel, and that ultimate
ly these men would recover, if they liti
gated their claims."
Notwithstanding this opinion, the Coun
cil refused to order the -claims paid, and
tho men then filed "suit against, the city
to recover In the State Circuit Court.
On ascertaining that the Board of Pub
lic Works had taken the matter in hand,
Messrs. Brown, Shannon, Bodman, Bra
den and Rueter sent a communication to
the board as follows:
"On July 1, 1S95, or soon thereafter, Mr.
Chase called five deputies Into his office
and told them that for the present their
salaries would be reduced from J100 to
SS5 a month. Mr. Chase was Informed
that he was without authority to reduce
salaries, as ordinance 7156 placed the sal-
aries at H00. Then Mr. Chase explained
that it would be only for a short time,
when the salaries would bo replaced at
?100, and we could put in a claim for the
unpaid $15 per month, which, of course,
we would get whenever a protest was
made. Mr. Chase put off the matter from
time to time with one excuse or another,
until finally he concluded it was the
proper time to present them to the Coun
cil. He signed the claims In the regular
way and said we were clearly entitled
to have them paid. There was no de
mand by the Council at that tlnre or dur
ing Mr. Chase's three terms for a reduc
tion of his force of deputies or of their
salaries. The claims were presented in
tho regular way to the Council, which
body referred them to the Judiciary com
mittee. This committee referred tho mat
tor to the City Attorney for his legal
opinion."
The Board of Public Works has au
thority over the employes of the City
Engineer's office, as the city charter pro
vides concerning the employment of depu
ties by the City Engineer, "the number
of deputies and their compensation to bo
fixed by the Board of Public Works."
TO BRING ROGOWAY BACK
Diligent Effort to Be Made to Find
the Fugitive.
An effort will be made to locate and re
turn here for trial Philip S. Rogoway,
defaulting license collector, and It Is said
that sensatlon'al developments Involving
others besides Rogoway will probably
follow In event of his arrest. A Burnside.
street saloon-keeper, who was swindled
out of $80 by Rogoway, has consulted a
prominent attorney about the case, and
has been advised to make a complaint at
once. Rogoway defrauded a large number
of saloon-keepers by collecting the money
from them on the strength of his official
position, which he failed properly to ac
count for, and he is also supposed to have
swindled the city out of considerable
sums. When he left here it was given out
that he went to San Francisco, and after
wards It was stated that he was in Daw
son. These statements were probably
made to throw the officers oft the track,
because Rogoway was met and spoken
to at Seaside by acquaintances on July
26. He left Portland nearly two months
ago. The police will doubtless have no
difficulty in finding him, when they begin
active search, which has not been done
heretofore. n

GETS $35 FOR ATTACK BY COW.
Sarali Donaldson Wins Suit Apnlnst
the Owner, Samuel Clifton.
In the case of Sarah Donaldson against
Samuel Clifton and his wife, Ida E. Clif
ton, to recover J240damaxes for injuries
alleged to have, been Inflicted by a cow
belonging to defendants( tho verdict or
the Jury gave the plalntlll f3o. Tne case
was heard In Justice Seton's Court yes
terday.
Mrs. Donaldson, tho widow of the late
Jack Donaldson, a pioneer, was attacked
by a vicious cow which had gone into
the yard at her house' on Weldler and
East Sixth streets, June 24. She saw the
animal in the yard and went out to drivo
her out. When near, the- cow made a
lunge after her. Mrs. Donaldson was
knocked down and gored by the animal
She was rescued by a neighbor. At the
trial -yesterday the dress she wore was
shown in court to show how badly torn
It was. Mrs. Donaldson told of her ex
perlence and of her sufferings since. To
the best of her knowledge and belief the
CUftons owned the cow which made the
attack.
Mr. and Mrs. Clifton both admitted they
but asserted that neither animal was the
one which had made the attack on Mrs.
Donaldson. The plaintiff's attorney con
tended that it was the heifer that did the
damage. This animal Mrs. Clifton said
was her personal property. It was set
forth by the defendants attorney that
there were other cows staked out In the
neighborhood, and that It might have
been some one else's anlmnl. At any rate
he argued there, was nothing to thow that
the cow that injured Mrs. Donaldson wn
the property of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton.
The evidence, however, pointed toward
the heifer as the animal that made the
attack. The jury was not sure that It
was the one, and gave a light verdict of
$35 for the plaintiff. The evidence showed
that Mrs. Donaldson was seriously Injured 1
and will not entirely recover.

At tho election In June there was more
of a contest In tho country precincts
over the election of Road Supervisors
than for the principal county officers, and
there were numerous candidates. The
successful ones after the hard struggle
to get the places are now much discon

that it will 'be economy to get some out

Roadmaster Steele Is looking after
bridge repairs. On the St. Helens road
some new umDers nave Deen piacea in
the smaller bridges, which will make
them safe for another year. The 400-
foot bridge on this road is out of service,
and teamsters have to drive down the
incline and around on the west side.
Mr. Steele went out yesterday after
noon to see about some repairs to the old
Vancouver bridge, and to ascertain if
it will have to bo redecked. The re
pairs recently have cost about ?35 per
month.
Wood haulers were hauling loads of
three cords over this bridge, and the
County Court issued an order that this

two cords bo hauled. A wagon with
three cords -on might break through the
bridge, and two cords is a heavy enough
load for any ordinary bridge.
TO TURN TABLES ON C. It. HENRY.
W. E. Pother Seeks to Offset One
Judgment Against Another.
W. E. Potter has filed suit In the Btato
Circuit Court against Charles K. Henry,
to have two Judgments offset ngalnst
each other, and he also asks for further
and separate relief. The complaint seta
forth that lh April. 1S96. O. N. Denny, re
ceiver of the Portland Savings Bank, ob
tained Judgment against Potter for ?700
and interest, which was sold to John
Klernan for $18, and by Klernan to
Charles K. Henry for $20. Potter, It Is
alleged, made payments to Henry on the
Judgment and the balance now duo upon
it amounts to $463.
It Is asserted that In July, 1S93, J. L.
Robinson procured a Judgment against
Charles K. Henry for $347 and In Sep
tember following was paid $20i6 on execu
tion, leaving a balance of $1635. In
August, 1902, It is asserted, the claim for
the balance due was assigned to Potter
