Tor the first time part of the lights in !ttie. Carnival grounds were turned on last (night to enable the various decorators of jfeooths to hasten completion of their tasks. A majority of the booths are tonlshed and are ready for the Installa tion of displays all the way down from the main entrance to the Industrial section in Music Temple square. All evening hundreds of people passed through the grounds Inspecting the city which has sprung up like magic within the past two weeks, and which presented L brilliant spectacle in the blazo of lights. , A number of the Elks who went to the Seattle show came back yesterday de claring that the circus and midway fea tures which are to be brought here are Ifully up to expectations and that, with the varied and original amusements pro vided in the industrial section of the Carnival, this will prove to be a record oreaking street exposition in point of at Xendance and interest, as well as the fentertainment. Programmes of the great days are re ceiving careful attention and nothing will roe lacking to round out the enjoyment tof visitors to the festival. The grand toarade on Tuesday Is the first public ap pearance of Her Majesty, Queen Maybelle, Jafter she is crowned. On this occasion the royal procession and the Oriental pageant will pass through the streets of the city and be reviewed from a stand an front of the Portland Hotel, among kiiem being a pioneer log cabin, and when the thousands of lights are turned on Monday evening it is expected the display will create something of a sensation. JPeople generally should decorate. Through the generosity of H. C. Breed en It has been passible for the Carnival JCompany to provide five beautifully quar-Iter-sawed oak bedroom sets for the jcouples that will be united on wedding day at the Carnival. J. J. Kadderly has been liberally disposed with the com !mittee in charge of the presentation of Jglfts, and he will assist the Carnival man agement in providing each of the fcappy pairs with cooking ranges.

The big delegation of Portland Elks who have been attending the Seattle IStreet Fair and Carnival returned homo 'yesterday afternoon, giving glowing ac counts of the treatment accorded them by the Puget Sound brethren, and report ing a general good time. More than 10C0 Elks participated In the big parade of Wednesday morning, the antlered ones coming from many leading cities of the Northwest. Although a heavy rain fell touring the progress of the parade, the Elks kept right on going and showed the good people of Seattle a fine exhibition. fThe moisture made the Portland Elks feel right at home, for they held up their antlers and captured the third prize, a jurse of $50. Everett carried off first and Eecond honors, having 230 men in line. IPortland had the best-drilled lodge in Ithe procession, each ope of the 150 Elks pom this city appearing in white duck uniform, and marching with an even jBtep. The De Caprlo band, from this fcity, escorted the delegation throughout the parade, while Miss Riley and Miss Thanem, daughters of Portland Elks, headed the Portland procession. When seen last evening, W. M. ("Pike") Davis, who was a leading spirit in the fc'ortland delegation, said: "We were treated like princes, at both Tacoma and Seattle, and we had a royal good time kll the way through. When our train Reached Tacoma, going over, we were met fat the depot by a large crowd of Tacoma iElks, who escorted us to their hall and fcave us refreshments that pleased the Inner man. The ladles of our party were entertained by the Tacoma ladles, and nvhen we finally got started again for Seattle, It was amid cheers for our Ta coma hosts. Upon our arrival at Seat tle we were met by the different recep tion committees, who did everything within their power to make our stay a f feasant one. We were taken to the odgeroom of our Seattle brethren, and a delicious luncheon was served. "The parade was a great success, des pite the rainy weather. Portland did her golf proud, but could not compete with Everett as the lodge from that city had J250 uniformed men in line. Tacoma made ft good showing, as did Port Townsend, J-forth Yakima and Bellingham Bay. The Carnl'al Itself is a great show, and thou sands of people have flocked to Seattle to see it Chief among the attractions is the country store, which is thronged with Visitors all the time. Numbers of Elks from, different parts of Washington will come to the Portland Carnival." MAY MAKE AN EXHIBIT. Hudson's Bay Company at Levrls and Clark: Fair. Those in charge of the Lewis and Clark IFalr are considering the project of se curing an exhibit from the Hudson's Bay Company, the early hunters and trappers ,of all the Northwest country. It' is thought that inasmuch as this "company was eo greatly interested at one time In the resources of Oregon, Washington and the Pacific Coast and British Columbia territory, they will be willing to repre sent themselves here in 1905. Secretary Reed, of the Exposition, has corresponded with H. M. Grahame, a well-known in surance man of Victoria, and yesterday received a letter from that gentleman regarding tho Hudson's Bay Company and the possibility of securing an exhibit The letter is as follows: "Dear Sir I am in receipt of.your let ter of the ICth inst I personally think ithat the Hudson's Bay Company should Snake some kind of an exhibit at your 1905 Exposition. The head office of the company Is in England, and the address is as follows: The Secretary. Hudson's Bay Company, Hudson's Bay House. No. 1, Lime street, London, E. C, England. The following gentlemen comprise the board: Governor, Rt Hon. Lord Strath cona and Mount Royal. G. C. M. G.; deputy governor, Rt Hon. the Earl of Litchfield, K. C. M. G.: Russell Stephen Bon, Esq.; W. Vaughn Morgan, Esq., Al derman; Thomas Skinner, Esq.; John Coles, Esq. "The head office for Canada is located In Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Mr. C. C. Plan of Consolidating: German So cieties Makes Progrresn. The plan of consolidating the two lead ing German societies in this city and erecting a central building to be used by all German social and fraternal or ganizations Is progressing favorably. Both the German Aid Society and the Turn Halle Society have appointed com mittees to secure the consolidation, and they will report early in September. It is expected that by the sale of the prop erty holdings of these societies, and by what can be given by the smaller organ izations, sufficient funds can be .raised to erect a building costing $100,000. The site will probably be the quarter-block at the southeast corner of Eleventh and Morrison streets, now occupied by the old German schoolhouse. A. E. Buttner, secretary of the German Central Society, said yesterday that they expect to see the building completed be fore the opening of the 1905 Fair. The Germans are to be congratulated in not having to choose among a dozen different sites. In the plan now in the minds of several of the prominent members, the main floor will be occupied by a concert and assembly hall, together with a num ber of small rooms for private dancing parties. Above will be a gymnasium, a German school, and lodgerooms for the different minor societies, of which there are 13. All but five of these are social order?, the exceptions being the four Sons of Herman Lodges and the German branch of the Red Men. It Is now pro posed to gather all these and the other German societies in the state Into a Cen tral Bund, which will belong to the American Federation of German Societies. Only1 the delegates of tho local branches will attend the meetings of the Bund, which will act In the nature of the gen eral assemblies and conferences of relig ious denominations, and will in turn be responsible to the National organization. It was first proposed to make the Bund merely the center of the societies of Portland, but the plan has now been enlarged, and every Teutonic society in Oregon' will be a feeder to the Central Bund. If this scheme is carried out and the central building is completed in time tthere will doubtless be a great influx of Germans from the surrounding country at the time of the approaching Exposition. Chlpman, who holds the position of commissioner, is the principal officer in the Dominion; his address is Hudson's Bay House. Winnipeg, Manitoba. "If your people could get the ear of Lord Strathcona, through your Embassy In London, I am of opinion that no diffi culty would be met with in Inducing the company to make, an exhibit It would also be advisable to write to the com missioner. Mr. C. C Chlpman, In Winni peg, and interest him at the same time. "I may mention that my father, Mr. James A. Grahame. who Is still alive and living here,and who was chief commis sioner of the company, from 1S73 to 1SS4. wont to Fort Vancouver as clerk in 1S44. under the late Dr. John McLoughlln. and only left in 1SSS or 1859, when the com pany gave up business in the United States and handed over the fort to your Government "I was myself connected with the com pany for about 10 years in the far North, in Peace River and Athabasca districts. "For these further reasons I should be very pleased to hear that the company had decided to make an exhibit Any further Information that I can furnish you with will be cheerfully given. "H. M. GRAHAME." TO MAKE A GREAT BUND. BACK FROM A FINE TRIP. Portland Party Has n. Vacation Around Lake Qulnlault. With tholr faces and hands bearincr evi dences of fine new coats of tan, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Boyer, ilr. and Mrs. C. D. Bruun and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. T. Bush one, of this cltv. are home atraln. after an enjoyable three weeks' vacation trip in and around Lake Qulnlault, Wash. The party traversed 176 miles in all, 40 miles being by canoe and 24 on horseback. Each of the pilgrims Is laden with a brand new stock of fish yarn. Two of the party. in three hours' time, nuea iwo DasKeis with fat river trout and 15 of the fishy tribe were about 19 Inches long. There Is also a rumor current that on one occa sion one of the nartv thoucht that he saw a "wild "man" In the bushes, picking berries. The stranger was spoken to in English, French, German, Swedish and several Indian tongues, ana even a whistling 6olo was tried, but he gave no ronlv. Tho other members of the party were called for consultation, and the sup posed "wild man ' was discoverca to oe a bear. The start was made from Hoqulam, and, after a drive to Hump tulips, the Journey was resumed on horseback to another point Lake Qulnlault was TAnrhod amid snlendld weather, and nine dayB fishing took place. On the return Journey two Indians were nirea ior ine occasion, and the party proceeded for 40 miles down the Qulnjault River, In canoes, and to some of the pilgrims the experience will be remembered for months. A stop was made at Granville, where the agent at the Qulnlault Indian Reservation Jives, and tho return trip to Hoqulam began. Home was reached last Sunday. FIRE RISK TOO GREAT. . O. R. & X. Co. Wants Something Done for Lower Alblnn. A communication asking for better fire protection In Lower Alblna has been ad dressed by the O. R. & N. Co. to Mayor Williams. The lack of sufficient facilities to fight fires adequately along the water' front In that district is set forth. It is recited that a fire in the O. R. & N. Co.'s yards last Friday destroyed a small building and a number of patterns, and that the master mechanic made a re port on tho situation. A copy of this re port has been forwarded to the Mayor. It states that the fire proteclon in Lower Alblna is very poor, and that it was al most impossible to get water enough from the city service to be of any benefit, be cause of want of pressure In the pipes. It is declared that, in the event of a fire on the docks, there would be nothing to do but stand idly by and see the property burn. The company calls attention to the fact that It has large Investments in Alblna, which provide employment for a great many people, and aids the general pros perity of the city, and also that the O. R. & N. Co. is probably the largest taxpayer in the city. Such an Important district as Alblna, It is urged, deserves better fire protection. The same question was brought up when Mayor Rowe was in office, but nothing was done. Mayor Williams will submit the matter to the proper authori ties. TIME CARD, STEAMER T. J. POTTER This week the O. R. & N. Co.'s steamer T. J. Potter will leave Ash-street dock, for Astoria and Ilwaco as follows: August 26. 9 A. M.; August 27. 9 A. M.; August 2S. 9:45 A.

Wisdom, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, returned yesterday afternoon from Seattle, where he officiat ed as a Judge at the King County Fair Association race meet Mr. Wisdom speaks in glowing terms of the splendid horse-racing at Seattle, and believes that the season, which has commenced under such favorable circumstances, will be a most successful one throughout the Northwest circuit Mr. Wisdom left Se attle before .the conclusion of the big meet as he was obliged to return home In order to complete the entry list for the Oregon State Fair. When seen last evening, Mr. Wisdom said: "Never before in the history of North west horse-racing has a season opened more successfully than did' the present at Seattle last week. Although tho Elks' Carnival keep a good many from the races, the crowds each day were large, and the grandstand, with a seating ca pacity of GOOO, was filled to overflowing. The sport was good, and the track fair ly fast for a new one. The locationiof the fair grounds Is Ideal, and another sea son's use will make the track a speedy one. "AH told there were about 350 head of horses at the meet There were a few at tempts made to carry on unfair racing, but the management and the Judges put an end to all such efforts, and ruled tho offenders off the track. Nothing but clean sport was tolerated. A. T. Van Do Vanter. manager of the fair. Is a hard worker, and the great success of the un dertaking is due largely to his tireless efforts. There was no end of liberal bet ting on the various events, and there were no complaints of unfair treatment from the neighborhood of the betting stands. Many of the races were very close, and at times the enthusiasm ran at a very high pitch. Some of the fastest horses at the meet were from California and the Middle West The next race meet of the circuit will take place at Vancouver, August 30 to September 1 in clusive." , Concerning the Oregon State Fair, at Salem, Mr. Wisdom said: "All of the- best horses that appeared at Seattle will be on hapd for the Salem fair, and with the training that they will receive lh the meantime, they ought to be in fine trim to compete for our big stakes. There are 15 entries for. the Salem Derby race, which will be for a 51000 stake. The Greater Salem stake, a pacing race, for a $2000 stake, will be the big event of the Salem meet and many fast horses are getting ready for It I firmly believe that this race will be run In 2:10 or better, as some of the horses now training are regu lar whirlwinds. If we have good weath er for the state fair, the racing will be tlp-top.' " BIG TIME ON LABOR DAY. Programme Will Afford Recreation and Amusement. An entire day of pleasure Is being planned for Labor day, Monday, Septem ber L Een the labor addresses will be dispensed with, and the whole day given up to having a good time. In the morn ing will be tho parade, and in the after noon athletic events and entertainment The grand ball in the evening will be the social event of the year in labor circles. The event of all-absorbing In terest among the, union people now is the baseball game being planned between the Building Trades Council and the Federated Trades Council. There are a number of good players in the various unions, but they have not oxerclsed their 'skill for a number of years, and It is thought that It will afford no little amusement to see the old veterans play ball. A. R. Law ton is managing the team for the Federated Trades and L. D. Read for the Building Trades, and both ex press themselves as confident that Ihey can muster the winning team. "I have sent word to all the unions. said. Manager Lawton, "to recommend to me any players that they might have in their organization, and from the list I have picked out about 25 and have asked them to report to me next Sunday. At that time the team will be chosen and, from the prospects at the present time, I think I will have a team that would show up well In the league. I have told Read that if his team beats us, that I will run him a race around the bases to see who will pay for the treats for the two teams, and he has returned the chal lenge. Wo will have the. race, whoever wins." Read Js as confident as Lawton of victory, and some heavy betting Is expected as soon as the opposing teams are announced. Beside the baseball games there will be a number of athletic events during the afternoon. There will also be a platform erected and several Interesting and enter taining turns given by picked teams of song'-and-dance artists. v. IS THIS THE TRIO? Trying: to Convict the Men Who Robbed Cunningham. Considerable wrangling between the lawyers for the prosecution and defense occurred yesterday In the Municipal Court in the case where J. D. Kcenan, James Hughes and Chester Harvey were charged with stealing a small sum of money from William Cunningham, on Second street, near Couch, last Monday night Policeman Bailey, who assisted Policeman Gibson in making the arrest, testified that he saw Cunningham walking along Second street when the three de fendants attacked htm. went through his pockets, and were in the act of escaping when tho police arrived. Keenan had some small change In his right hand when arrested. Cunningham testified that when three unknown men attacked him he had about $S in his possession, and that the strangers, who ever they were, relieved him of the great er portion of this money. Keenan's story was that he heard what he called a "racket" outside the saloon where the robbery took place, and that when he rushed out to see what the trouble was, with some change in his right hand the bartender had given him, he was arrest ed as one of the men who had robbed Cunningham. The other defendants told similar stories. The case was continued to secure further evidence. Kindness to the Horcn. NEW YORK. Aug. 16. (To the Editor.) At this distant point and date I wish to thank The Oregonlan for an article on the editorial pago of The Sunday Oregonlan of August 10. Any one who truly loves and appreciates that long-suffering animal, the horse, must also Join in thanks for the article, "Timely Suggestions." It Is such a .little thing to do. some of those small attentions to horses mentioned by The Oregonlan, but how many "didn't think." It Is something to cause much interested attention In this great, rushing, throb bing, hurrying city the Intelligent care that seems almost unfailing, bestowed on the horses of burden. In the main they look well fed and groomed, and we see little overloading or whipping. Their lunch bags are ventilated, they have their hats perched on their heads In hot days (some admirers of the fanciful even deco rating the "millinery"), and in the most burdensome days you will often notice big wet sponges instead of hats.
