TO MAKE FAIR PAY
Lewis and Clark Exposition

SUPT. HUBER MAKES REPORT
Total Income Is Estimated at $1,370,
000 and Expenses at $1,242,450 It
Is Believed 700,000 Admission
Tickets Will Be SoW.
In a report presented to the Lewis and
Clark directors yesterday Oskar Huber,
superintendent and general engineer, esti
mates that the fund available for the Ex
position will not only give an excellent
"Pair, but nrovide a small balance. In his
work at the Exposition grounds in pre
paring- for the erection of buildings ana
beautifying the lands which will be occu
pied. Mr. Huber has kept well within his
estimates, and it is felt that his financial
showing for the Exposition Is conservative.
Aside from the question of finances and
work at the grounds. Mr. Huber discussed
the general scope of the Fair in detail
and made a number of valuame sugges
tions to the board. Interest centered,
though, in his financial estimates, ine
following are his figures for the cost of
construction and operation of the Fair:

Favorable Balance Probable.
In discussing the receipts and the prob
ability that the Fair will show a favor
able balance sheet when the gates are
Anally, closed, Mr. Huber makes this
statement:
The receipts from concessions and ad
missions will take care of the operating
expenses.
This estimate is figured on a liberal
basis, and figured at the high prices now
existing. It is possible and even prob
able that all of these expenditures may be
reduced from 5 to 10 per cent.
I figure the total income from admis
sions and concessions, including sale of
exhibit space and receipts from pre-Ex-
Soslnon period at a round ngure or &m,
W Thin lnrldAS snip of nnwpr And pImv
trio light by the Exposition 'management
to exhibitors ana concessioners, salvage,
etc
This estimate is based on the assump
tion that we sell 700.000 admission tickets
and receive $140,000.00 for concessions.
The total expenditure for operating I
place at $414,006.00, Including $70,000.00 for
operating electric light and power plants,
leaving a balance of $106,000.00.
Total estimated Income $1,370,000.00
Total estimated expenditure 1,242,450.00
Balance $127,550.00
Scope of the Exposition,
In his report Mr. Huber takes up his
work and the scope of the Exposition in
detail. He says:
As superintendent of the grounds and
buildings and chief engineer of the Ex
position. I deem it necessary to assume
the responsibility of outlining the gen
eral scope of the Exposition and of giving
you a fairly close estimate of the con
struction required to put the work in its
final shape for the occupancy of exhibit
ors and concessioners. I also take the
liberty of suggesting features which our
"resources will permit, and which ought
to be included in an exposition of this
scope.
I assume that to make our Exposition
a success from a financial standpoint, it
must largely depend for attendance from
the immediate neighborhood, including a
radius of, say, 200 miles; and to arouse
the continuous interest of our people
within this radius we must expect to cater
to those who have never had an oppor
tunity to see an exposition, and conse
quently we must provide many new and
novel attractions.
While the primary purpose of this Ex
position's educational, and to commemo
rate an important historical event, and
at the same time further the Interests of
commerce, manufactures and inventions;
yet it is probable that a very small per
centage. Indeed, will visit the Exposition
grounds with a view to .education, but
rather for the purpose of . sightseeing and
recreation.
This being the case, it is necessary to
provide attractions clean and elevating,
such that no one could take umbrage to
them on moral grounds.
I fully realize that the Exposition
should be representative of the resources
of our state and countrv At large, but it
must be apparent that foreign attractions
are likewise an absolute necessity to in
sure the financial success of the Exposi
tion. General Plan.
Tho main Exposition grounds are locat
ed about 70 feet above the business por
tion of the city, or about 100 feet above
tho low stage of the Willamette River,
and. in accordance with the outline sug
gested by Mr. Olmsted, the main build
ings are grouped together In an area of
' about 40 acres. This plan facilitates ex
amination by visitors, who can go from
one exhibit to another in the shortest
possible time, and, In a climate like ours.
will undoubtedly prove a great conveni
ence.
Grounds.
The grounds are being laid out and
graded at the present time In general con
formity with the plans of Mr. Olmsted.
witn proper modmcations in regard to
wiatn or ways ana grades. After due con
sultatlon with the committee on grounds
and buildings, it has been determined to
macadam all these ways with slag from
the rolling mills, thoroughly rolled and
surfaced with fine screenings, thus Insur
ing not only a weii-pacKeo and solid road
bed, but free from dust or mud. This
plan has the further advantage of eco
nomy, effecting a saving of nearly $16,000
against crushed-rock macadamizing.
The landscape details are now in prep- '
aration, and in the wooded portion of the ;
Exposition grounds the native trees and
shrubberies wjll be utilized as much as
possible. There is a great abundance of
these, both in number and variety. I am
now having made spoil banks of highly
fertilized top soil mixed with manure, so
as to insure the highest fertility of the
soil used for the different areas of the
landscape.
plan for Improvement of PeninsnlR.
The Neck. This part ot the Exposition'
-rounds, although lower in elevation than
the main grounds, is. nevertheless, a very
desirable- adjunct. Fine oak trees afford
ample shade and ornament, and most of
the soli is already weu cuiuvaiea anu icr
tlle. I would recommend that the stock
exhibit and model dairy ranch be located
here, the remainder being used for pleas
ure grounds and concessions to be enu
merated later. , x
An intramural railway should traverse
the neck from the grade of the Northern
Pacific Railway to the end of the Penin
sula, thence by a bridge to the St. Helens
road, along which it will reach the main
Exposition grounds and the higher
plateau. This intramural railway should
Be operated by electricity, so as to avoid
smoke and cinders, and, if consistent with
safety, by the three-rail system to avoid
overhead wires.
It is possible that one or other of the
street railway transportation companies
of this city would construct and operate
this road under concession, or contribute
toward' its construction if allowed to
share In Its revenue. I am confident that
this Intramural road will be one of the
popular features of the Fair, as well as
affording the necessary rapid transporta
tion from one part of the Exposition
grounds to the other.
For convenience of reference. I have
appended hereto a sketch plan for the im
nrovement of thr Peninsula. You will Ob
serve that I su ceres t a large tract for
races and for caKtlc and horse parades In
the form of a double kite. Stalls for
horses, cattle, sheep and other domestic
animals are planned to surround the
track. These stalls ought to be comfort

renaissance, and ought to be left as much
as possible free from posts and pillars to
obstruct the view and interfere with
space. 1
Machinery Hall.
Machinery HaH Is to be constructed in
the same style as tho States building
with a dimension of 400 by 100 feet, de

Festival HnlL
FmMvjjI TTn.ll. or Music Pavilion, is also
a building of liberal dimensions, to be
used for the purpose of large gatherings
In connection with band concerts, large
choruses, or other purposes. It ought to
have a stage of liberal dimensions for
the seating of singers and musicians. Its
acoustic qualities must, of course be
given especial care. This building may
become a most essential part of our plan
asf In It an Immense audience could be
accommodated and entertained In event
of rainy weather. The general style of
this building is also that of the renais
sance.
Forestry Bnlldln&.
Forestry Building. This structure should
be unique in Its style, and should empha
size our natural timber resources. Huge
logs, fwith the bark undisturbed thereon,
nhnnlri form the walls of the building and
huge sawn timbers should form the
hrams and eirders. Huce trees should
form t!he pillars and porticos supporting
the verandas. All the different woods
found in the state should be employed in
its construction. The proportions of the
fcnndinir nn such that. If carried out on
this outline, it would make an Imposing
and never-to-be-forgotten sight, not only
in th eves of visitors from abroad, but
for our own people as well. This building
could also be utilized in connection with
the mining exhibit, being so located that
a tunnel or shaft can readily connect it
with the lower grounds near the old Ital
ian gardens. f
Electricity Bnlldingr.
Electrlcltv building Is a structure of
moderate dimensions and should combine
the actual installation of a power plan

eral aspect of the rest of the buuamgs.
Government Bnlltllne.
Government Building. This building is
intended for the use of tho Government
exhibits. We hope that the Government
will construct its own building. If, for
any reason, it should fall to make the ap

Memorial Building. The site for the
Memorial bulldlner. not having . vet been

received but little consideration. Inasmuch
as the location of the building will, of

trunk sewer system of the city by means
or a large; vitnnea pipe.
Lighting: and Porrer.
Lighting and Power. A careful esti
mate of the requirements of the different
buildings and of the grounds leads me to
the conclusion that we need 1000 arcllghts
and 30.000 Incandescent, four or six-candle
llcrhts. This would make an efficient and
even brilliant display, and I estimate that
2500 horsepower will be required for power
and electric lighting purposes. I append
hereto an estimate or tne cost or metall
ine a light and power station. I have
also requested the Portland General Elec
tric Company to furnish an estimate on
the same basis for furnishing power for
machinery and electric light purposes.
This proposition I have requested shall
Include nower. llcht and installation, as
well as operation, so that we may know
precisely tne cost, xnis proposition win

The question, which would determine
the advisability of constructing our own
plant, Is largely that of salvage at the
close of the Exposition. This salvage is
an unknown quantity. Should we con
clude to Install our own plant, we could

The magnificent electrical display at the
Buffalo Exposition was its leading char
acteristic and will cause it to be long re
membered in the annals of notable exposi
tions. Had it been poorly or even or
dinarily well lighted, it would have been
buried in oblivion.
Fire Protection.
Fire Protection. I have alluded to the
sources of water for fire protection. The
main distribute system Is shown on the
plan, and Is sufficient to distribute water
from the three great tanks to any part
of the grounds, in sufficient volume and
under sufficient head to insure good' serv
ice. Hydrants are provided for at inter
vals of 250 feet. This same system is also
to be used for the purpose of lawn sprlnk-
for our Fair. Special historical events
like "Passing of the Forts" or the "Bat
tle of Manila," or the "Destruction of
Cervera's Fleet," could be beautifully il
lustrated by the use of these vessels. A
powerful searchlight station could be so
placed and manipulated with different
color effects as to creato surprising and
.beautiful results, and at the same time
could obscure the vista from those out
side the grounds.

necessary to provide for the Fair excel
lent musical programmes, and notwith
standing that the cost ot maintaining a
first-class band will be considerable, it
will be so strong an advertising feature
as to be real economy In the end. I have
no hesitation in recommending the em
ployment of the Royal Italian Band for
at least three months during the Exposi
tion season. This band would be the
main attraction for the Festival Hall.
Local bands can be employed at different
points of the Exposition grounds and on
the Peninsula. Undoubtedly thousands of
people -would fco to the "Exposition
grounds again and again for the sake of
hearing a renowned band like the one
mentioned.
In this connection I would suggest that

In this estimate it is assumed that the
location ot the power plant will be on
high ground, and. therefore, no piling will
be necessary for the foundations; If pil
ing is necessary, then the cost of installa
tion will be materially increased. As the
lighting and power will be one of the
essential features, have figured on two
units which will have sufficient capacity
to operate all the lights and motors In the
Fair. The third unit might be put In' as
an insurance. This would cost $55,000
extra.
In reference to the cost of maintaining

wages for engineers and electricians, and

will note on the plan that the fire station

intended to be well manned and equipped
with fire apparatus. Probably one large
steamer, one cnemical engine, one nose
wagon, 3lx or iicven horses and from 14 to
16 men. The Importance of ample fire
protection will demand and justify much
equipment. t
Uoncesslons.
Concessions. The area of the Exposi
tion grounds and Its topographical fea
tures will enable us to sell a great many
concessions, from which a large part of
the operating expenses should be derived.
Care must be exercised to keep out any
fake exhibitions or demoralizing shows.
but there should be no difficulty In obtain
ing profitable novelties ana picturesque
and cxcitlnc attractions. Some of these I
have already suggested, but will again al-
iuae to tnem nere:
L Intramural railway from main Expo
sition grounds to neck of the Peninsula,
near the Northern Pacific Railway em
bankment, v
2. Aerial tramway from highest point
of the main Exposition grounds to the
Peninsula proper.
3. Boat concessions canoes, electric
launches, .gondolas and other light craft
to transport passengers from main Expo
sition grounds to Peninsula. In this con
nection I would suggest the Indian Vil
lage at one terminus and the Samoan vil
lage at the other. These Indians should
represent, according to historical tradi
tions, the tribes encountered by Lewis and
Clark on their expedition to the Coast.
4. A captive balloon to rise from 500 to
1000 feet.
5. A wild West show on a small scale
showing the roping of cattle and horses
overland stage, hold-ups, warfare be
tween Indian tribes and between Indians
and soldiers. Space for this could be af
forded In the large area of the Peninsula
and Exposition grounds when not used
otherwise for a stock exhibit.
6. Restaurants. These should be nu
merous and of graded quality. Under this
as it takes time to train such a chorus of
many hundred singers into required effi
ciency.
It Is probable that a competitive
saengerfest of the Northwest could be ar
ranged in the Festival Hall to take place
during the Exposition by offering liberal
prizes for the best society. This would
serve to attract many visitors to the
Fair.
It might largely add to the attendance
at the Fair If there were arranged In con
nection with it a series of excursions
throughout the state to its most notable
scenery- These excursions to be adver
tised throuKh the bureau of publicity.
The different counties in the state might
oe lea to improve their county roads lead
lng to these points of attraction, so as to
accommodate our visitors.
We have now only 18 months before the
opening or tne Exposition, and the arch!
tects should have their preliminary
sKetcnes submitted and detinue plans se
lected, in order that details may be
worked out. Actual construction of the
buildings should begin early next Spring,
ana tnere is absolutely no time to snare.
Let us make the Exposition illustrious
by establishing a precedent that every
thing in connection with the Exposition
shall be ready before the time actually
set for its opening Interest In tho Expo
sition nas oeen merely inaugurated; its
development will be rapid and extensive.

A GLANCE AT THE PRESENT STATUS OF THE LEWIS
AND CLARK FAIR PROJECT.
The total Income of the Lewis and Clark Fair Is estimated to be
$1,370',000; expenses, $1,242,450. Of the expenses, $S28,450 will have to be
met before "the gates of the Exposition open.
The estimate xSt receipts includes- the $400,000 raised by popular
subscription, $450,000 available by state- appropriation, and $520,000
realized from concessions, sale of tickets, salvage, sale of electric light
and power to exhibitors and from other sources. It is estimated 700,
000 admittance tickets will be sold.
These figures do-not take into consideration any sum that may be
appropriated by the Federal Government. In fact, in order to be safe,
the Exposition officials are figuring upon the erection of a Govern
ment building out of the Fair funds. Buildings will cost $363,'000r and
light anl power installation another $100,000. -
In order tor attract the patronage of people residing in near-by
districts, special entertainment features are proposed.
The grounds are being, laid out on the plan proposed by Consulting
Landscape Architect "Olmsted. Native trees and shrubbery and the
natural contour of the ground is being used to advantage. An intra
mural railway will be built to run through the grounds. Guild's Lake
will be Improved and made one of the most delightful spots within the
grounds. '
Ample provision is to be made to provide Are protection. Light
and power facilities -will be given careful attention.

of ice cream, sodawater, coffee and light

I would suggest the erection of three
restaurants on the Peninsula one first
class, one second-class and one third
class; each to be erected In an artistic
style, but of economical construction, by
the Exposition management and leased to
concessionaries. One of these might be
