Wmtggemtlon. as to Appropriations and
Exhibits .Offered by Burleigh.
ENTERPRISE. Oct 5. (To the Ed
itor.) I am not sufficiently advised
-at present of the Intentions and pur
oeee of the Board of Directors to ex
press a decided opinion as to what action
the Legislature should take In the mat
ter. Sneaking In a general way. If the
iair is to be of sufficient Importance to
.secure an appropriation from Congress,
nd from the states generally, I should
lavor an appropriation of a sufficient
amount to erect a suitable state build
tag, large enough to accommodate each
county In making a county exhibit. That
would arouse a local pride in each county
tnd secure a county aproprlatlon suffici
ently large to make the best exhibit pos
sible; and when you get the best pos
sible exhibit from each county In this
state you have a great show within itself.
I should think a special levy of 1 mill
added to the state tax would produce
junple revenue for the purpose. I am of
the opinion the fair qan be made a greater
success by not depending altogether up
on large appropriations and not attempt
ing too much, but by making a practical
use of each dollar of smaller appropria
tions. In the meantime Portland and the
Board of Directors should take steps
to arouse a greater Interest and enthusi
asm in the Fair throughout the state.
Secure not only the support of the mem
bers of the legislature but the enthusi
astic support of the men and women

GOOD, LIBERAL APPROPRIATION.
Bat Cities Benefited Should Not Dc
' pend Altogether on the &tate.
FOSSIL, Oct. L (To the Editor.)
X believe there Is a general feel
ing among the taxpayers of this
section that the Lewis and Clark
Fair should have some state aid. My
personal views are that the Legislature
should make a good, liberal appropriation.
In asking the Legislature to do so, ftow-
ever, the managers of the Fair should not
J overlook the fact that some of the remot
I er sections of the state will receive but
Ismail, If any, advantage from It. Hence
it Is Important that the people and City
of Portland, both as Individuals and as a
municipal corporation, should do their
full share. Also, that other Individuals
and municipal corporations that will re
ceive the greater benefit, on account of
their favored location, should contribute
more than the average taxpayer in the
remoter and Interior sections of the state.
If these matters are kept in view, and
worked up to by the managers of the
Yjalr I think there will be no trouble to
get the state, through its Legislature,
to appropriate the amount the Fair dl
rectors ask for. A fair and reasonable
distribution of the expense of the Lewis
and Clark Fair among sections and In
dividuals, In proportion to the benefits to
be derived, will be met by the Legislature
iy , . with a liberal appropriation, In my Judg
ment, eucn a snowing snoum oe made
to the Legislature.

HAVE CREDITABLE FAIR.
To Secure It, Appropriation Should
Be Made Large Enough.
CARLTON, Or., Oct. 5. (To the Editor.)
I am certainly very much in favor of
the state making an appropriation for the
Lewis and Clark Fair of 1905. I have not
at the present time any decided, opinion as
regards the amount of the appropriation
which should be made, but think the ap
propriation should certainly be made
large enough to enable the managers of
the Fair to make an exhibition which will
fee in every way a credit to the state and
the Pacific Northwest. W. A. HOWE,
Senator from Yamhill County.

ROSEBURG, Or., Oct. 5. (To the Edit
or.) I have not given the matter much
thought, but my opinion is that the com
ing Legislature should give this' a very
careful consideration; and, as for myself.
I think an appropriation of $500,000 ls none
too large ior sucn an enterprise, i am
somewhat of an expansionist, and believe
that such enterprises as the Lewis and
Clark Exposition promises to be will be of
a great benefit to the State of Oregon, as
well as to the entire Northwest.

WHAT SENATOR DALY THINKS.
Xm. Making: Appropriation Legislators
Sbeuld Consult Their Constituents.
CORVALLIS, Oct. 5. (To the Editor.)
While I think that a member of the Leg
islature should have some Independence
of action or discretionary power In mat
ters of general legislation, I also think
that where large sums of money are in
volved for a specific purpose he should
consult entirely the wishes of those who
sent him there. The people of this dis
trlct will favor a reasonable appropria
tion for the Fair, but they will not think
that $600,000 is reasonable. Personally, I
am anxious for the success of the Lewis
asd Clark FairA now that it has been in-
auguraied, and I -will vote for such an ap
propriation as the people of this district
think proper. - JOHN D. DALY.

CLATSOP. Oct 5. (To the Editor.) I
am opposed to a large appropriation by the
state for the Fair. I cannot see what ma
terial benefit the Fair will be to the part
of the state that will neither be seen nor
heard of by the visitors to the Fair. A
levy of 1 mills means for this county
$11,005. and while I expect to see more or
less of the visitors here, on account of.
Lewis, and Clark having' wintered 'here, I
would not favor so heavy a tax.

Huntley Thinlts a Reasonable Appro

OREGON CITY, Oct. 5. (To the Editor.)
As I have given the matter very little
thought from any standpoint other than
that of a business man, an expression at
this time regarding the amount to be ap
propriated might not be in accordance
with my views later as a legislator. 1
might say, however, that I am an enthus
iastic believer In the 1903 Fair, want It to
be a success, and feel that the Legislature
should appropriate a reasonable sum for
the purpose. C. G. HUNTLEY,

HEPPNER, Or., Oct. 4. (To the Editor.)
I am heartily In favor of the Fair and
will do all In my power, both In" and out
of the Legislature, for Us euccess. I
favor a liberal appropriation by the state
for many reasons, chief of which is the
financial benefit to be derived. In my
opinion every section of the state will be
benefited, and the property of every tax
payer be worth moro on account of the
Fair than his tax to support same win
amount to. As to the amount to be
appropriated, I shall undertake to ascer
tain the wish of my constituents and vote
accordingly. G. W. PHELPS,

GIVE HALF A MILLION.
Money Will Be Returned .Two-Fold"
in Ten Years, Says Jones.
TOLEDO, Oct. 4. (To the Editor.) I
am most emphatically in favor of an ap
propriation by the State of Oregon for
the Lewis and Clark Exposition to-be held
at Portland in 1903. I have always been
firm believer In the liberal use
of printer's Ink abd the proper
advertising of our state's resources.
In my opinion Oregon is al
ready 20 years behind her sister state
Washington In the matter of advertising
her resources.
It has been argued that Portland will
be the only city benefited by this Fair. I
beg leave to differ with this class of
people. Whatever helps Portland, helps
Oregon. Whatever Is good for one of
Oregon's 33 counties, is good for all. It
Is to be expected that Portland will reap
a greater benefit, as a result of this Fair,
than any other city in Oregon. This Is
as it should be. For it should not be
to her discredit that she Is the chief com
mercial center of Oregon, or, w might
say, of the Pacific Northwest. Again, If
the State of Oregon appropriate $500,000 for
this Fair, Portland, or Multnomah County,
will have to pay $200,000 of thlsNimount,
or as I understand It, two-fifths of all the
taxes In Oregon.
As to the amount of money the state
should appropriate for this purpose, I am
not sufficiently advised to make the
figures, but presume the Lewis and Clark
Commission have taken into consideration
all the details, and necessary expenses to
raaKe a success of this Exposition, and I
would therefore, as It suggests, favor an
appropriation of $400,000 or $500,000.
I do not think that Oregon can afford to
be miserly in making an appropriation for
this great event. I am of the firm opin
ion that any money the state may appro
priate to this great enterprise will be re
turned .two-fold to the treasury within
the next 10 years by the Increase of pop
ulation and wealth that will arise from
the advertising the state will receive
from this exposition, provided it Is suc
cessfully carried out. and this cannot be
done without money and the co-operation.
of every citizen of Oregon.

ARMY EXPENSES LOWER.
Mucb Less Than Last Year Recom
mendations of Paymaster.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. According to
thp annual report of the Paymaster-Gen
eral. Armv expenses decreased during the
past year $918,819, as compared with the
preceding year, partly owing to the de
crease In the pay of the Army ana in
cart to a reduction of claims for extra
pay to volunteers. The total expenses
made by Paymaster-General Bates were
$52,523,479. The Paymaster-General Is an
earnest ndvocate,of the creation of a re-
enlistment system for Government clerks
based upon the deduction of a, small
sum monthly from the salary of each
clerk.
The Paymaster-General says good re
sults are observable from Secretary
Root's plan of detailing line officers for
staff duty. The only Improvement he
could suggest would be to permit the
detail of First Lieutenants instead of
Captains as the lowest grade In the pay
corps, giving the Lieutenants, however,
Pnnlnln'o nnv txVi !1 n rlntnp- caimVi wnrlr
A financial statement setting outNln
great detail the expenditures of the Pay
master-General's office, makes It appear
that the total approximate cost of the
war with Spain on account of pay and
extra pay to volunteers and regulars and
mileage to officers was $73,668,640.
General Bates takes satisfaction In
noting the fact that every cent of money
disbursed tfirough his department from the
date of the outbreak 6T the Spanish War
has been sufficiently accounted for, and
that the Government has not lost one
cent through defalcation, captures by the
enemy, robbery or other causes, while
the cost of disbursing the vast sum of
over $200,000,000, Including salaries and
mileage of paymasters (and pay clerks
has been about 7 per cent of the amount
disbursed. The report contrasts this rec
ord with the Civil War, when nearly $500,-
ww was lost by the Government.

IN ARMS AGAINST AUTOS
CITIZENS OF MONTA VILLA WILL
APPEAL TO THE COURT.
Machine Without Lights SprcadsTcr
ror Question of Annexation or
Incorporation.
Residents "of Montavllia are up in arms
against automobiles, and expressed their
sentiments at the meeting of the local
Board of Trade Friday night. It was re
ported that a high-power auto had,gone
through Montavllia at the rate of 40
miles an hour. Also the people of the
suburb are discussing the water question,
annexation and Incorporation. Charles
Hilo presided and Wlfliam De Vlnny, sec
retary. There was a go'od attendance.
A committee was appointed to wait on
the County Court and protest against au
tomobiles speeding on the Base Line road
through Montavllia. It was set forth that
a high-power automobile, one never be
fore seen on the road, had been speeding
through Montavllia last week at the rate
of 40 miles an hour. One trip after dark
was made without lantern, and the
machine wabbled from one side of the
road to the other. It came through sev
eral times. It was the opinion of the
Board of Trade that automobiles should
be restricted a8 to speed, and the com
mittee was instructed to ask the County
Court to take Immediate action before
some one in Mdntavllla is killed.
This same committee will ask the Coun
ty Court to take steps to have the county
road on the east side of Montavllia wid
ened and extended from the Sandy road
to a connection with the Oregon City road
at the Section road.
Annexation or Incorporation.
Incidentally annexation to Portland was
discussed. H. Wingert and Dr. De Vlnny
spoke for annexation, while Mr. Snider
spoke against the movement. It was de
cided to have a meeting of the Board of
Trade to consider the question specially,
when every one will have opportunity to
express himself.
There are quite a number who oppose
annexation at this time, but who favor
Incorporation. Among them Is C. A.
Aylesworth, who says Montavllia Is not
ready for annexation, and Is confident. It
would be a disappointment to the citizens.
The pound ordinance, he said, would- be
extended out there, which would work a
severe hardship on a great many people
who have one or more cows. Also it
might be a long time before people could
hope to get Bull Run "water. Mr. Ayles
worth said further:
"Let us incorporate for a few years, and
then, when we are in shape for annexa
tion, ana i'oruana is willing mat we
should come In, I should raise no objec
tions; but at present I can't see where
any benefits can come to this suburb. II
we Incorporate, we would be in- a better
position to get water than otherwise."
The advocates of annejtffetion point to
the great expense of carrying on a small
city government. There will be a Mayor,
Aldermen, Constable and other officers,
the most of whom would have to, be paid.
Then would come In the probability of
grafts and rows.
Want Better Water Supply.
A committee was appointed ' to wait on
the officers of the Mount Tabor Water
Company and protest against the practice
of leaving uncovered ditches In the mid
dle of the streets, and to ask why water
is always shut off whenever there Is a fire
in Montavilla when It Is needed above all
things. Several Instances were cltd by H.
Wingert where the water had been shut
off at a critical moment, when a cottage
was on fire, and when otherwise the build
ing could have been saved. The statement
was made'openly that this had been the
practice of the water company. The com
mittee was Instructed to protest against
the practice.
A committee was appointed, with H.
Wingert s chairman, to take subscrip
tions for the proper numbering of houses.
so that the work of the mail-carrier can
be facilitated.' All residents will be asked
to contribute, so that numbers may be
painted on the houses.
MONUMENT TO SOLDIERS.
Committee Obtains Estimates on
Foundation Baxar to Raise Money.
The building committee of the Lone Fir
Monument Association, which is to erect
a monument to veterans of four wars,
held a meeting yesterday afternoon at 64
Grand avenue, and decided to proceed as
soon as possible to lay the foundation of
the proposed monument in the park block
of the cemetery. B. Martin, H. Sutcliffe,
J. Worlck, Captain J. H. McMlllen, F. A.
Coleman and M. L. Pratt of the commit
tee and others were present. E. Martin
presided.
There was a full discussion of the kind
of foundation that would be required. It
was thought that it should be 11 feet
square and' that excavation should be
about four feet. This would be sufficient
on which to erect any kind of a founda
tion, ranging from $1000 to $20,000. It was
suggested that the foundation ' could be
put In this Fall and stand till Spring un
der cover.
F. A. Coleman, a builder, gave some
figures as to the probable cost .of the
foundation. M. L. Pratt estimated that
It would take 55 cubic yards of material
to make an enduring foundation. On mo
tion E. Martin was instructed to ascer
tain the cost of a foundation containing
that many cubic yards of gravel, sand
and cement and report at .the next meet
ing. The committee also decided that.
when work starts on the foundation,
ground should be broken with appropriate
ceremqny. Some short addresses may ne
delivered at the time. The committee will
meet analn next Sunday at 2:30, at 64
Grand avenue.
A meeting of the committee on bazar
to ratee funds for the monument was
called yesterday on the East Side. A full
representation from all the bodies which
had made appointments not being present,
the regular meeting was postponed till

Large Increase in Exports of Manu
factures.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. The August
record of the foreign commerce of the
United. States Is encouraging. The fig
ures of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics
show, that exports of manufactures havo
Increased more than $2,000,000, as com
pared with August of last year, and
about $12,000,000 In the eight months ending
with August, 1902, as compared with the
corresponding eight months of the pre
ceding year. Meantime, manufacturers
have increased their imports of material
for use In manufacturing, the value or
Imports of articles In a crude condition
which enter the various processes of do
mestic industry having increased $2,000,000
in August, 1S02, over August, 1901, and for
the elsrht months show amncrease ot
000,000 over the same perpd of last year;
while articles wholly or partly manuiac
tured for use in manufacturing show an
increase of $5,000,000 In the eight months,
maklnsr the total Increase In Importations
of manufacturers' materials in tne eignt
months ending with August, $33,000,000, as
compared with the corresponding eignt
months of the preceding year. Of the
other classes of imports, manufactures
and luxuries show an increase of $19,000,-
000. while foodstuffs show a decrease of
$17,000,000, comparing eight months oi iskb
with the corresponding months or isoi.
. This decrease In the Importation of
foodstuffs is in sugar, which alone shows
a decrease of about $24.000,000 . in importa
tions in the eight months ending with
August, thus indicating that in other
classes of foodstuffs there has been a
net increase, since the total reduction
in that class Is but $17,000,000. This re
duction of $24,000,000' in the value of sugar
Imported is largely due to a reduction of
cost in foreign markets, the total quan
tity of sugar imported being 2,394,910,219
pounds in eight months ending with Au
gust, 1902, against 2,803,226,998 npunds in
tne corresponamg montns or last year,
while the value of the sugar imports dur
ing eight months of the present year is
$38,878,872, against $62,564,921 in the eight
months of last year, the average value
per pound, therefore, being in the eight
months of 1902, 1.6 cents, and in 1901, 2.2
cents.
The Increase In the importation of ma
terlals for use in manufacturing is found
In nearly all of the important articles
used by manufacturers except India rub
ber, in which there is a slight decrease,
Comparing the importations during the
eight months of tnls year with the cor
responding months of last year, chemicals
show an Increase of over $1,000,000; cop
per shows a slight Increase in quantity,
but a decrease of over $1,000,000 In value;
cotton, an increase of over $2,000,000;
fibers, an Increase of over $6,000,000; hides
attd skins, an increase of about $1,000,000;
raw silk, an Increase of over $3,000,000;
tin, an Increase of $1,000,000; unmanufac
tured wood, $2,500,000 Increase, and wool,
nearly $4,000,000 Increase.
Onthe export side the Increase In value
or manufactures exportea occurs cnieny
In cotton" goods, which show for the eight
months ending with August a total value
of $23,669,5S1, against $16,941,254 In the same
months of last year. This Increase is al
most .exclusively in cotton cloths, of
which " the exportatlons in the eight
months of 1902 were 379,000,000 yards.
against 239.000.000 yards in eight months
of 1501, and 201,000,000 yards in the corre
sponding months of 1900. This growth, in
the exports of cotton cloth3 Is chiefly in
the trade with China, the exports to that
country In eight months of 1902 being 253.
000.000 yards, against 121,000.000 yards in
the eight months of 1901, and 100,000,000
yards in the corresponding months of
1900.
Iron and steel manufactures still show'
a reduction In exportation and an In
crease In Importation. The. total value of
exports of Iron and steel manufactures
In the eight months ending with Ausrust,
1902, wa3 $65,904,829, against $69,346,379 In
the corresponding months of 1901. and
$37,174,209 In the same months of 1900
while the imports of iron and steel manu

FOREIGN FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
London Stock Exchange .Hangs on
American Monetary System.
LONDON, Oct. 5. While the rise of
per cent In the bank rate of discount last
week had a reassuring effect In a sent!
mental sense, It had little practical result
either-on actual business or on the money
market of the Stock Exchange. The con
sensus of opinion from the British stand
point is that the governors of the Bank of
England acted wisely In raising the rate
to 4 per cent, and that they have at pres
ent complete control of the money market,
and that last week's action Increased the
likelihood of their retaining it by pre
venting heavy gold shipments. No further
rise In the rate Is regarded as Imminent.
The American monetary system contln

nf tvio nrfn market Is imnrovincr: the pri
vate rate of discount has receded since
the settlement, and money on call has
dropped to 3 per cent.
Tho tMirinnev of the security market last
week was quiet. Iron shares were mostly
